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.

Pakistani general and military dictator who ruled during John Kiriakou's 2002 posting as CIA chief of counterterrorism operations in Pakistan. Per Kiriakou, the United States 'essentially just purchased Musharraf,' paying tens of millions in cash to the ISI and meeting him several times a week, and in return 'he would let us do whatever we wanted.' Kiriakou says Musharraf, fearing the nuclear arsenal could fall into terrorist hands, unofficially turned control of Pakistan's nuclear weapons over to the Pentagon. Musharraf later pardoned proliferator A.Q. Khan.
General Pervez Musharraf was the Pakistani military dictator in power during John Kiriakou’s 2002 tour as CIA chief of counterterrorism operations in Pakistan.
”We essentially just purchased Musharraf”
Per Kiriakou: “The United States loves working with dictators, because then you don’t have to worry about public opinion, and you don’t have to worry about the media.” The U.S. gave Pakistan “millions and millions and millions of dollars” in military and economic aid, paid tens of millions in cash directly to the ISI, and met with Musharraf several times a week. In return, “essentially he would let us do whatever we wanted to do.”[1][2][3]
Kiriakou notes the limit of that leverage: Musharraf had to keep his own military happy, and the military “didn’t care about Al-Qaeda. They cared about India.”[3]
The nuclear arsenal
Kiriakou says that while stationed in Pakistan in 2002 he was told unofficially that the Pentagon controlled the Pakistani nuclear arsenal, that Musharraf had turned control over to the United States because he feared the weapons could fall into terrorist hands.[4]
A.Q. Khan
Musharraf later pardoned nuclear proliferator A.Q. Khan, ending all investigations into Khan’s black-market network.[5]
