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.

Post-9/11 supplemental appropriations

The emergency money Congress pushed into the CIA after the September 11 attacks — a supplemental appropriation of roughly 160 per cent the day after, another at the end of the year, and a counterterrorism directorate that could not spend what it had been given.
Post-9/11 supplemental appropriations were the emergency budget increases Congress voted the CIA after the September 11 attacks, on top of the fixed budget the appropriations and oversight committees had already set.
The first arrived the day after the attacks and amounted to something in the order of a 160 per cent supplemental; another followed at the end of the same year, and multibillion-dollar supplementals continued for years.[1] In Kiriakou’s summary, Congress could not appropriate the money fast enough and the agency could not spend it all.[1]
The operational effect was that cost stopped functioning as a check. Approaching Cofer Black shortly after the attacks to pitch an operation, Kiriakou was cut off before he could describe it: “Whatever it is, just do it. I have so much money, I can’t possibly spend it all.”[2][3] The same condition underwrote the cash-first approach in Afghanistan described at renting Afghan warlords.
