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.

CIA directorates
From KiriPedia, the archive of John Kiriakou's on-record words

The four-part internal division of the CIA as John Kiriakou describes it to lay audiences — the Directorate of Intelligence that analyses, the Directorate of Operations that recruits spies and steals secrets, the administrative arm that makes the trains run on time, and the Directorate of Science and Technology that supplies the scientists, forgers and disguise makers — the structure that determines which training a new officer receives.
The CIA directorates are the four internal divisions John Kiriakou uses when explaining to general audiences that there is no single job called working at the CIA. Which one an officer enters, he says, decides what training follows.[1]
The Directorate of Intelligence is the analytical arm. The Directorate of Operations is the side “out there actually recruiting spies to steal secrets.” Administration is the third — “they’re the ones that make the trains run on time, the accountants, the logistics people.” The fourth is the Directorate of Science and Technology, which he glosses as “the scientists, the the forgers, the disguise makers.”[1][2]
His own path ran across the line. He started in the Directorate of Intelligence and went through all of its writing training, then after seven and a half years made what was at the time a very unusual move to counterterrorism operations.[2] Because half his career was already behind him, he was spared the introductory syllabus — “what we used to call CIA 101” — and went directly into defensive driving, then counterterrorist driving, then the accelerated version of the operations course that teaches the step-by-step of recruiting spies and stealing secrets.[3][4]
