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.

The declared officer
From KiriPedia, the archive of John Kiriakou's on-record words
Based on 3 recorded interviews · Last updated
The CIA officer whose identity is formally disclosed to the host country's intelligence service, as John Kiriakou was in Athens, taken by his chief within days of arrival to be introduced to the head of the Greek service.
A declared officer is a CIA officer whose true employer is formally disclosed to the intelligence service of the country in which he is serving, as distinct from one operating under cover from that host government as well. John Kiriakou states plainly that this was his own status in Athens: “I was declared in Athens.”[1]
The practical consequence came within days of his arrival. On his second or third day in the office his chief took him to the Greek intelligence service to be introduced to its head, a four-star general, a friendly meeting at which Kiriakou wore a good suit out of respect for the rank.[2][3]
It was in that meeting that the general delivered the observation Kiriakou has repeated ever since: that he could tell Kiriakou was not Greek, not from his speech but from his American shoes.[3]
What it does and does not cover
Being declared to the host service does not mean being open generally. Kiriakou’s later posting to Bahrain ran the other way: he was there in a State Department position, nobody at the State Department was supposed to know of his CIA connection, and he could not even speak to the agency’s officers in the country, to the point that a mandatory training tape sent out in the diplomatic pouch had to be smuggled home to be watched.[4]
Nor does it stop the host service from watching. The declared relationship in Athens ran alongside Kiriakou’s own tradecraft, surveillance detection routes for every meeting, a different route home every day, and alongside a source so sensitive that meetings had to be held three and a half hours away on the other coast.[5][6]
