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.

The arrest of Yves Engler
From KiriPedia, the archive of John Kiriakou's on-record words
Based on 1 recorded interview · Last updated
John Kiriakou's account of the arrest of the Canadian activist Yves Engler in Montreal on a hate-speech charge after he criticised a prominent Canadian Zionist, five days in jail, additional harassment charges filed after he telephoned the arresting officer to request his own police reports, and suspension from Twitter and Facebook.
Yves Engler is a Canadian activist and writer based in Montreal whom John Kiriakou has known for a long time and describes as a “good guy.” Kiriakou recorded a podcast with him shortly before the March 2025 interview in which he gave this account.[1]
Engler wrote an article criticising a well-known Canadian Zionist, a woman Kiriakou says Engler did not threaten but criticised, on the ground that she does not respect the human rights of Palestinians. “Next thing you know he’s under arrest for hate speech, and all he said was that he supports Palestinian human rights. There was no hatred there.”[2]
Engler spent five days in jail in a prison 40 miles outside Montreal before making bail, and was then set for trial.[3] Kiriakou reports Engler’s own expectation during those days, “people are going to see how ridiculous this is; I didn’t do anything wrong, I have freedom of speech, I’m a Canadian citizen, I’m talking about human rights”, and the response instead: “they’re doubling down.”[3]
The additional charges
After his release, preparing for trial, Engler telephoned the arresting officer to ask for the documents and police reports his attorney would need. “They charge him with extra crimes. They charged him with four counts of harassment of a police officer, because he sent a couple of emails and made a couple of phone calls.”[4]
He was also suspended from Twitter and from Facebook. Kiriakou generalises the pattern, “you use the G-word and you lose your access to these platforms”, and cites the case as the concrete answer to what a censorship-resistant platform would be for.[5]
