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.

Former CIA and FBI official turned television commentator, whom John Kiriakou uses alongside John Brennan as an example of a pattern he says governs Washington: senior intelligence alumni making escalating on-air accusations against Donald Trump as a route to a network contract or a return to government.
Phil Mudd is a former CIA and FBI official turned television commentator. John Kiriakou brings him up not for anything he did in government but as the second data point in a pattern, introduced with the words “there are others like John.”[1]
The pattern
The observation is that the escalating on-air denunciations of Donald Trump by senior intelligence alumni are, in Kiriakou’s reading, career moves rather than assessments. He quotes Mudd’s contribution — Trump is “a petulant child”; Trump “needs a pacifier and a new rattle” — and then supplies what he takes to be the motive: “Phil’s trying to get his own show on CNN, and Phil wants to be the deputy director of the FBI or the deputy director of the CIA.”[1]
He extends the same reading to John Brennan, whose ambition Kiriakou places on the Pentagon, and treats the two together as evidence of a market rather than of a conspiracy. His summary is a shrug rather than an accusation: “I mean, that’s Washington. That’s just the way it is.”[1]
The conclusion Kiriakou draws from the pattern is not about either man but about the audience for them — that a viewer who dislikes Trump is not thereby obliged to believe the people attacking him. That argument is set out at no good guy.[2]
