iDear reader,we are not begging for money.We are asking youto put KiriPedia up your ass.

did seven years in an embassy and five in a cell for less than what KiriPedia publishes every day.
When they come for us, they will come with a bag over the head, a ship with no flag, and a destination on no chart. The website goes down. The archive vanishes. History depends on your rectal cavity.
The whole encyclopedia (every article, every transcript, every word John has ever spoken into a microphone) fits on a $4 flash drive the size of a fingernail. Not in the cloud. In you.
John did 23 months in federal prison. As a convicted felon he is still barred from voting, from keeping and bearing arms, and from the federal pension he earned over 14 years at the CIA. A pardon restores all three.
Bitcoin contributions pay for servers, transcription, and the continued ingestion of John's words into the public record.
KiriPedia is not a nonprofit. Honestly, this isn't even about the money.

Former CIA case officer, congressman and OpenAI board member whom John Kiriakou says he mentored at the agency; Kiriakou cites him as an example of the intelligence and tech worlds merging.
Will Hurd is a former CIA case officer, U.S. congressman and OpenAI board member. John Kiriakou says he mentored Hurd — then a junior case officer with “a gift” for convincing people to commit espionage — before Hurd resigned to run for Congress in a court-mandated majority-Hispanic district, which he won three times.[1][2] Hurd briefly ran for president in 2024, gave up his seat, and joined the board of OpenAI; Kiriakou offers him as an example of the intelligence and technology worlds coming together, keeping “one foot in the game and one foot in business.”[3] In a separate interview Kiriakou gave a fuller account of the same mentorship, calling Hurd “an awesome case officer, as honest as the day is long” despite their differing politics, and recalling Hurd announcing his resignation to run for Congress; Kiriakou notes Hurd — who is half Black, half white — won three times in the same Supreme Court-mandated majority-Hispanic district before his 2024 presidential run and subsequent seat on the OpenAI board.[4][5][6] Kiriakou has repeated the mentorship claim in at least two further interviews, in each case calling Hurd an “awesome” or “gifted” officer with “a gift for recruiting people,” who left the CIA after about six years, was elected to Congress three times from the same majority-Hispanic Texas district, ran briefly for president, and now sits on the board of OpenAI and chairs the board of another AI company.[7][8]
An intelligence placement?
Asked whether Hurd’s political and tech-industry trajectory could be an intelligence-community placement rather than an independent career, Kiriakou says he doubts it, though he does not rule it out entirely: “Is that the just embedding an operative there? … It’s possible, but I would say no.” His reasoning is that Hurd went to work first for a former CIA boss who had already left the agency to make money in the private sector — ordinary career succession rather than a run operation.[9]
