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.

The former British parliamentarian who attacked John Kiriakou on social media, prompting the only defamation action he describes having threatened. On his lawyer's advice he demanded a retraction; Mensch retracted in full and kept a pinned apology on her account for six months.
Louise Mensch is the former British parliamentarian whose attack on John Kiriakou produced the one occasion he describes taking legal action against a critic. He raises her as the precedent when asked about a later attack by Laura Loomer: “this has happened to me once before.”[1]
His description of her is unsparing and includes her politics as the motive: she is, he says, “like so 1,000% pro-Ukraine” and “irrational” on the subject. He stresses that there was no prior contact of any kind — “I’ve never met this woman in my life. I’ve never had an exchange with her in my life. And she just attacked me.”[2][3]
What he did next he frames through a phrase used against him by an opposing lawyer in one of his divorces: “in the words of an opposing divorce attorney, John Kiriakou is a litigious prick.” He called his own lawyer, asked whether the statements were defamatory, was told they were, and answered: “Then I want to sue.”[3]
The case never reached a court. A letter went out demanding a full retraction on pain of suit, and “she retracted everything.” The terms he records are specific — “she had to pin an apology for 6 months on her Twitter” — and his summary of the episode is one word: “but I won.”[4]
Kiriakou notes in passing that she has since dropped the name under which she was known, publishing as Louise Bagshaw.[4]
