iDear reader,we are not begging for money.We are asking youto put KiriPedia up your ass.
Julian Assange
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 Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement against Israel; John Kiriakou notes that some 40 U.S. states now have anti-BDS laws that can require a speaker at a publicly funded university to sign a pledge of support for Israel — which he refuses to do.
The BDS movement — Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions — is the campaign of economic pressure on Israel that John Kiriakou says he and many others support in principle. He notes that some 40 to 42 U.S. states have passed anti-BDS laws, so that a speaker invited to a publicly funded university may have to sign a document pledging support for Israel in order to be paid.[1][2] Kiriakou refuses: “I will not pledge fealty to a foreign government.” He frames the laws — now under constitutional appeal — as part of a climate in which any criticism of Israel or Netanyahu is branded antisemitic.[2][3]
A friend’s Georgia State speaking fee
Kiriakou describes a concrete case of the anti-BDS contractor laws in practice: a friend was hired to give a paid speech at Georgia State University for $500, but the contract required her to pledge allegiance to Israel — under Georgia’s anti-BDS law, taking state money as a speaker makes a person a contractor, and contractors must make that pledge. She refused, sued, and lost the case before the Georgia Supreme Court.[4]
Florida and the UK (The Inquiry)
John Kiriakou cites the spread of anti-Palestinian speech restrictions: in Florida it is, for now, illegal to express support for Palestinians on social media, and he says Miami police knocked on the door of a woman who did so on Facebook. He pairs it with the UK’s secrecy laws, under which support for Palestinian rights can bring prosecution.[5][6] In a separate telling of the same Miami Beach Facebook case, Kiriakou identifies the law behind it: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis pushed legislation through the state legislature this year making it a criminal offense to criticize Israel, which Kiriakou calls patently unconstitutional.[7] Rather than sign the bill at home, DeSantis waited to fly to Israel and sign it in the presence of Benjamin Netanyahu, then gave him the pen as a souvenir — prompting Kiriakou to ask whether DeSantis works for the people of Florida or for Netanyahu.[8]
