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.

Balochistan drone base

Secret CIA drone surveillance base in southwestern Pakistan's Balochistan region; its location was inadvertently disclosed when investigative journalist Jason Leopold filed a Freedom of Information Act request for Pentagon aviation-fuel-delivery records and identified an outsized fuel flow to the otherwise-undocumented base.
The Balochistan drone base is a Central Intelligence Agency drone surveillance facility in southwestern Pakistan’s Balochistan region. Its existence — initially top-secret — was inadvertently disclosed when investigative journalist Jason Leopold identified an unusual concentration of aviation-fuel deliveries to the base in Pentagon records he obtained via Freedom of Information Act request.[1][2]
Disclosure mechanism
[Leopold] read somewhere that drones use a certain kind of aviation fuel. And so he just did a Freedom of Information Act request to the Pentagon for the locations of all of the deliveries of this aviation fuel. And millions of dollars of fuel were going into this desert base in southwestern Pakistan — this top-secret base that’s not top-secret anymore because the Freedom of Information Act has told us so.[2]
The episode is invoked by John Kiriakou as a representative illustration of contemporary government information-management failure: “For all the smart guys in government who are supposed to keep a secret and claim to be able to keep the secret and whatever, they literally write stuff in the modern metadata that someone at home can get.”[3]
