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.

Kiriakou's personal anecdotes
From KiriPedia, the archive of John Kiriakou's on-record words
Based on 1 recorded interview · Last updated
Three personal stories John Kiriakou has told in interviews, tracking down and meeting Andy Warhol as a college senior, a Congolese vice president's remark that Americans promise democracy while the Chinese provide food, and Kiriakou's own Zelle account being suspended over Cuba-sanctions compliance after a paid article about his Cuba trip.
John Kiriakou has told several personal anecdotes unrelated to his intelligence career.
Andy Warhol
As a college senior with four unplanned days in New York, Kiriakou, who grew up near Warhol’s hometown of Pittsburgh, decided to track down Andy Warhol. He found the Factory and met Warhol, whom he describes as quiet and meek but friendly enough to give him an autograph.[1]
The Congo anecdote
At a conference in Washington, Kiriakou recounts a conversation with the vice president of the Congo, who told him: “The Americans always promised us democracy, but the Chinese always gave us food. What do you think we needed? We didn’t really need the democracy.”[2]
The Zelle suspension
After writing a paid, roughly 4,000-word article about his trip to Cuba for ScheerPost, Kiriakou says his payment was sent via Zelle with a memo line referencing the article’s subject, Cuba. This triggered a sanctions-compliance suspension of his Zelle account; his appeal was then misdirected to an address in Arlington, Texas, rather than his actual home in Arlington, Virginia.[3]
