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.

Faisalabad Hospital
From KiriPedia, the archive of John Kiriakou's on-record words
Based on 1 recorded interview · Last updated
The hospital where a dying Abu Zubaydah was taken after the raid of March 2002 — open windows, animals in the corridors, mosquitoes on open wounds, and a bar of Irish Spring soap used as a pincushion for reusable syringes — which came under fire from the street while he was on the operating table.
Faisalabad Hospital is where the CIA and its Pakistani partners took Abu Zubaydah in the early hours of the morning after he was shot jumping from the roof of the house at Site 13. Identified by an ear photographed in the street and matched at headquarters, he was thrown into the back of a filthy Toyota pickup and driven to what John Kiriakou calls “one of the most horrible places on earth.”[1]
The building
Kiriakou says he is not overstating it. The windows and doors stood open; dogs and cats strolled up and down the corridors “like they own the place”; swarms of mosquitoes fed on patients’ open wounds. There was a bar of Irish Spring soap with syringes stuck into it — a needle would be pulled out, filled, used, and pushed back into the soap, “and that was as clean as it was going to get.”[2]
It was about twenty past three in the morning when half a dozen men, most of them Americans dressed as Pakistanis, walked into the emergency room with an Arab bleeding to death from multiple gunshot wounds. Kiriakou told the doctor he had to save him — “my orders were to take him alive” — and the doctor stood with his mouth agape before the patient was rolled into the operating theatre.[3]
Under fire
Word travelled. Al-Qaeda’s community in the city learned that someone had been taken, and cars began driving past the hospital and opening fire on it while Kiriakou and the others lay on the floor. He told Colonel Khaled that if the attackers realised how lightly armed they were, they were dead, and asked for a helicopter; one landed in the car park twenty minutes later.[4]
Kiriakou pulled his t-shirt over his nose and mouth, walked into the operating theatre and told the surgeon to wrap it up. They sewed the patient closed as fast as they could, loaded him aboard, and flew fifty miles to a Pakistani military base outside Lahore where an eight-bed clinic abutted the runway — the beds arranged in spokes around a central nursing station, and every other patient in it a Pakistani army enlisted man who had attempted suicide.[5][6] The clinic’s surgeon warned Kiriakou that he had never seen a patient with wounds so severe survive.[7]
