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.

John Kiriakou's observation that small Pacific states such as Fiji supply a disproportionate share of the world's peacekeeping forces because the pay makes up a large part of their national budgets, and his argument that this makes them cultural strangers wherever they deploy.
“The alternative would have been troops from Tahiti, right? Or from Fiji,” he said. “These Pacific islands provide so many peacekeeping forces, and it’s a major source of income for them. It makes up a great part of their budget.”[1]
His objection to them is not to their conduct as soldiers but to the distance between them and the populations they are asked to police: “they’re cultural strangers, you know, the people from the South Pacific.”[1]
The comparison he draws is specific about what cultural proximity would supply. Pakistani troops “at least would understand Islam, would respect, you know, Palestinian women, all the stuff that non-Muslim peacekeeping forces over the years have been accused of ignoring.”[1]
