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.

Oliver Stone
From KiriPedia, the archive of John Kiriakou's on-record words

American film director with whom John Kiriakou struck up a friendship after his release from prison. Stone optioned the rights to one chapter of Kiriakou's first book, co-developed an unmade History Channel series with him, blurbed his book on Abu Zubaydah, and was among the public figures who campaigned against the Bureau of Prisons' attempt to shut down Kiriakou's prison blog. The two disagree sharply over whether the CIA killed John F. Kennedy.
Oliver Stone is an American film director who became a friend and collaborator of John Kiriakou after Kiriakou’s release from FCI Loretto.
The collaboration
Stone contacted Kiriakou as soon as he got home and proposed working together, and Kiriakou travelled to Los Angeles to develop the idea.[1] Stone bought the rights to one chapter of Kiriakou’s first book, and the two sold a show idea to the History Channel that was never made.[2] Kiriakou described the series as in development with the History Channel through 2017.[3][4] It was one of three television projects he sold after prison, alongside one with Alec Baldwin and one with the director Simon West.[5] Stone also supplied a jacket blurb for Kiriakou’s book on Abu Zubaydah, alongside Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and a number of professors of international affairs.[6]
The blog campaign
When Kiriakou’s prison blog went viral and the authorities moved against it, Stone was among the public figures — with Susan Sarandon, Yoko Ono and John Cusack — who began tweeting “hands off John Kiriakou”, while the peace group Code Pink mounted a sustained campaign of calls to the prison director.[7][8]
The Kennedy disagreement
The two men do not agree about the Kennedy assassination. Stone put Kiriakou on the spot in his office one day, asking whether he was one of those people who did not believe the CIA killed Kennedy. Kiriakou answered that he thought elements of the CIA were probably involved, but that he had never believed it was a CIA operation to kill Kennedy. Stone told him he was “so full of shit”, and pressed him on who he thought did it; Kiriakou named a rogue CIA officer stationed in Miami who was close to the Cubans, and said the mob angle had never been fully investigated. By Kiriakou’s account Stone became genuinely angry that he would not simply agree.[9][10][11]
Stone has separately told Kiriakou that President Kennedy said he wanted to abolish the CIA and “ended up with two bullets in his head” — a remark Kiriakou has repeated when discussing whether a president could in practice abolish the agency.[12]
Assange
Kiriakou has cited Stone as one of the figures in the Hollywood world who came out strongly in favour of Julian Assange.[13]
