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.

Củ Chi tunnels

The 250-kilometre tunnel network dug by the Viet Cong outside Saigon, which John Kiriakou visited in 2026 and could not physically enter. He attributes the tunnels' viability to the malnutrition of the people who dug them.
The Viet Cong dug 250 kilometres of tunnels outside Saigon, used to move weapons and ammunition, at depths of three, six and twenty metres.[1][2] Kiriakou visited during his 2026 trip and reports failing the entrance test at a hole that had been widened for tourists: “I’m not a fat guy, but my chest was too big. I literally could not get into the hole… And then these guys had to pull me out because I was stuck.”[3]
He draws the causal chain the other way round from the usual telling. The tunnels worked because the people who dug them were small, and they were small because they were hungry: the Vietnamese “had been malnourished for so many years” and were “as a result much much smaller than the average American soldier. So they took advantage of that by digging these tunnels.”[3][2]
The engineering he singles out is the ventilation: “the ventilation systems are incredibly sophisticated. You don’t even know that these are ventilation pipes because they’re disguised as termite mounds or disguised as bamboo groves.”[2][4]
