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.

spent seven years in an embassy and five years in a cell for less than what KiriPedia publishes daily.
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.
Chinese contemporary artist and pro-democracy activist; designer of the Beijing Olympic Stadium; per John Kiriakou, produced a Lego portrait of him as one of 178 political prisoners in the series, with Kiriakou's panel positioned next to Martin Luther King Jr.; the work is now in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian Institution.
Ai Weiwei is the Chinese contemporary artist and pro-democracy activist who designed the Beijing Olympic Stadium and was subsequently imprisoned in China for his activism. Per John Kiriakou, Ai produced a Lego portrait series of 178 political prisoners while Kiriakou was himself in federal prison. Kiriakou’s panel sits in the series next to one of Martin Luther King Jr.[1][2]
The work now lives in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian Institution.[2] In a separate telling, Kiriakou groups the Ai Weiwei portrait with other unexpected gestures of support he received around his release from prison — a welcome-home call from Yoko Ono, another from Oliver Stone, and Roger Waters’s anonymous payoff of his second mortgage — as evidence that “you’re not alone” even in the aftermath of a prison sentence.[3]
