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.

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]
