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.
I already inserted one

U.S. federally chartered organization characterized by John Kiriakou as a proxy for CIA propaganda — the funding vehicle by which the agency promotes pro-U.S. political leaders in foreign countries; explicitly not an operational entity in the boots-on-the-ground sense.
The National Endowment for Democracy (NED) is a U.S. federally chartered nonprofit characterized by John Kiriakou as a propaganda proxy for the Central Intelligence Agency. “The National Endowment for Democracy has taken many millions of dollars from the CIA to promote American propaganda — mainstream American government propaganda. So when it talks about things like nation-building, it’s not really talking about nation-building. It’s talking about encouraging the development of leaders in foreign countries that are going to be knee-jerk supporters of the U.S. and U.S. foreign policy.”[1]
Operational character
Kiriakou is explicit that NED is not an operational or paramilitary entity: “It’s mainly a propaganda sort of machine for lack of better term. It’s not actual boots on the ground type operations.” The closest analogue in his framing is the use of the Democratic National Committee and Republican National Committee as ostensibly party-political instruments through which the same cultivation work proceeds in foreign settings, as he observed personally in Kuwait following the 1991 liberation (see Kuwait Liberation Day and John Rendon).[2][3]
