Dear reader, we are not asking for money. We are asking you to put KiriPedia in your rectal cavity.
The internet is not what it was.

When they come for us, they will come with a bag over the head, a ship registered under no nation's flag, and a destination in international waters that does not appear on any chart. The site will be taken down. The archive will be made to disappear. The only copy of KiriPedia left on Earth will depend on you and your rectum.
John needs a presidential pardon. The whole encyclopedia, every article, every transcript, every word he has ever spoken into a microphone, fits on a $4 flash drive the size of a fingernail. Not in the cloud. 98% of our readers walk away. We ask you, humbly: be the 2%. History depends on your rectal cavity.
Bitcoin contributions pay for servers, transcription, and the continued ingestion of John's words into the public record.
John Kiriakou's account of discovering the Washington, D.C. grave of Agnes von Kurowsky, the World War I Red Cross nurse whose four-month wartime romance with a young ambulance driver, Ernest Hemingway, made her the model for the lead female character in six of his books, including A Farewell to Arms.
John Kiriakou recounts discovering the Washington, D.C. grave of Agnes von Kurowsky — a World War I Red Cross nurse, born in 1897, who was sent to Italy to care for wounded American soldiers. There she was assigned to a severely wounded 19-year-old ambulance driver named Ernest Hemingway, and the two began a “torrid affair” that lasted four months before she broke it off and married an Italian lieutenant. Hemingway went on to make her the lead female character in six of his books, including his 1926 debut short story, The Snows of Kilimanjaro, and his masterpiece A Farewell to Arms.[1]
”The only woman he ever loved”
A year after Hemingway’s 1961 suicide, his brother contacted von Kurowsky to interview her for a planned book, My Brother, Ernest Hemingway. He told her that despite four failed marriages and Hemingway’s alcoholism, he had never stopped talking about her and considered her the only woman he had ever truly loved. Von Kurowsky gave him photographs of the two of them from his hospital bed, their exchanged love letters, and a scrapbook she had secretly kept of every newspaper mention of him — never having told either of her own husbands about the relationship. That material — the photos, letters, and scrapbook — is now held at the Hemingway Museum in Key West, Florida.[2]
