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.

Kiriakou's volunteer trip to Guatemala

A visit John Kiriakou made to Guatemala to volunteer for a couple of weeks at an orphanage, which he recounts as the closing evidence in his argument about the 1954 coup: the orphanage was ringed by a twenty-foot concrete wall, and he could barely sleep for the gunfire outside.
John Kiriakou ends his account of the 1954 overthrow of the Guatemalan government with a personal visit rather than a historical judgement. Having described the installation of a military dictatorship that “brutalised the population for the next twenty-plus years,” he adds that the country “still hasn’t gotten over that coup, it’s still one of the most dangerous places in the world.”[1]
“I went to Guatemala a couple of years ago to volunteer for a couple of weeks at an orphanage. And thank God that the orphanage had a twenty-foot-high concrete wall all the way around it, because I could barely get to sleep at night for all the gunfire outside.” His conclusion is causal and unqualified: “It’s still a terrible place. And it’s a terrible place because we made it that way.”[2]
