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.

"Ecuador is open for business"
From KiriPedia, the archive of John Kiriakou's on-record words

The Wall Street Journal headline John Kiriakou says appeared the day after he hand-delivered a letter to Ecuador's ambassador in Washington asking that Julian Assange's internet access be restored, and which made him fear Assange was about to be used as a bargaining chip.
“Ecuador is open for business” is the headline John Kiriakou has cited as the moment his concern about Julian Assange’s position sharpened into fear.
The letter
Kiriakou has said that a few months before the July 2018 conversation he delivered a letter to the Ecuadorian ambassador to the United States, asking the ambassador to ask his government to let Assange have internet access. [1]
The article
The very next day, by his account, an article appeared in the Wall Street Journal headlined “Ecuador is open for business.” Its subject was the Ecuadorian government’s approaches to the Trump administration to improve and enhance business ties. [1]
Kiriakou has said this sent a chill up his spine, because it made him think and fear that Assange might be used as a pawn so that the Ecuadorian government could make a little money. He described this as troubling him very deeply, and as something he had not been worried about a few months earlier. [2]
The change in his assessment
He had initially read the suspension of Assange’s internet access and visitors as temporary, a point being made, which would be relaxed within a week. It was not. He said the persistence of the suspension worried him for one set of reasons and the Journal article for another. [3]
Kiriakou expressed hope that the policy remained temporary, and noted that former President Rafael Correa had expressed disappointment in Lenín Moreno’s policy toward Assange. [4]
He added a related judgement about extradition: that the British are, in cases like this, essentially puppets of the United States, and that it should be assumed the United States had told them it wanted Assange the moment he stepped out of the embassy. [5]
