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.

U.S. Army general and commander of CENTCOM during the 1991 Gulf War; per John Kiriakou, the architect of the "visionary" flanking maneuver that bypassed Iraq's fortified Kuwait–Saudi border, struck from the north, and produced the Highway of Death.
General Norman Schwarzkopf was the commander of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) during the 1991 Gulf War. Per John Kiriakou, Schwarzkopf executed “visionary leadership” in the prosecution of the war against Saddam Hussein.[1]
The flanking maneuver
Kiriakou describes the operation as “a very simple and very elementary, like, first-step play, flanking move.” The Iraqis had fortified the Kuwait–Saudi border. The U.S. sent “a couple of tanks” and fought what became known as the Battle of Khafji as a diversion. The main force was routed “around into Saudi Arabia, up and around into Iraq,” and struck the Iraqis from the north. As Iraqi forces tried to flee Kuwait on the Iraq–Kuwait highway, the Highway of Death, “we’re hitting them from the south from Khafji, and we’re hitting them from the north from Iraq.”[2][3]
Per Kiriakou: “We killed everybody. Everybody. 200,000 soldiers in their military, wiped them out.” The only Iraqi forces Saddam kept in reserve were the Republican Guard and the Special Republican Guard, the latter staffed by Saddam’s own family as his final ring of security.[4]
