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.

CIA versus FBI at a raid
From KiriPedia, the archive of John Kiriakou's on-record words
Based on 1 recorded interview · Last updated
John Kiriakou's two-sentence account of the institutional difference between the two agencies, drawn from joint raids in Pakistan in 2002: the FBI numbers the four walls with sticky notes, photographs the inside of every drawer and collects every piece of paper, because it is building a case. The CIA breaks down the door, grabs all the men and sends them to Guantánamo.
The CIA-FBI difference at a raid is John Kiriakou’s compressed illustration of what the two agencies are actually for, drawn from the joint raid teams — half CIA, half FBI — that worked together in Pakistan in 2002.
Two procedures
The Bureau’s method he describes as evidentiary and methodical: “the FBI goes in and they put little sticky notes on the four walls — wall one, wall two, wall three, wall four. Then they open all the drawers and they take pictures of what’s inside the drawers. Then they look for papers and they collect all the papers.”[1]
The reason is the destination of the material: “because they’re going to build a case.”[1]
His own agency’s method takes one sentence: “CIA — you go in, you bust down the door, you grab all the guys and you send them to Guantanamo.”[2]
The fiction in the operations order
The contrast is not merely observational. In briefing the assault teams before the Site 13 raid, Kiriakou told the room that every man was to be cuffed because this was an open criminal investigation and “our friends from the FBI are going to begin collecting evidence.”[1]
His own assessment of that justification, delivered immediately: “which was total horseshit.”[1]
