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.

Self-described "professional propagandist"; organizer of the pre-distributed American flags waved by Kuwaiti crowds on the 1991 Kuwait Liberation Day; in 2008 hired John Kiriakou (alongside Karl Rove) to produce op-eds attempting to rehabilitate the U.S. travel ban imposed on Indonesian general Joko Widodo.
John Rendon is a U.S. private-contractor specialist in political and military propaganda, self-described to John Kiriakou as a “professional propagandist.” His best-known operation in Kiriakou’s account is the pre-distribution of small American flags to Kuwaiti citizens before the 1991 Liberation Day — so that the U.S. armored column rolling down central Kuwait City was greeted by a million flag-waving residents in a country that had moments earlier been destroyed by Iraqi occupation.[1][2]
The 2008 Widodo engagement
In 2008 Rendon hired Kiriakou and Karl Rove to work on a campaign to rehabilitate the reputation of Indonesian general Joko Widodo — a former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of Indonesia who had personally killed six pro-democracy college student protesters by stabbing each in the heart in front of the others, and who was as a result banned from entry to the United States on human-rights grounds. Kiriakou was hired to write op-eds presenting Widodo as misunderstood and to place them in major U.S. newspapers. “He paid me $25 grand to write four op-eds.” No newspaper would publish them. Widodo dropped out of the Indonesian presidential race, was subsequently elected vice president, and never had the U.S. travel ban lifted.[3][4][5][6][7]
