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.

Presidents and the CIA
From KiriPedia, the archive of John Kiriakou's on-record words
Based on 1 recorded interview · Last updated
John Kiriakou's observation that some presidents actively lead the CIA while others are led around by it — citing George H.W. Bush's ongoing "love affair" with the agency after his 11-month stint as director, and Richard Nixon's close relationship with the CIA, which Kiriakou says was one of the things that brought down his presidency.
Presidents and the CIA is John Kiriakou’s framing of how different U.S. presidents have related to the agency — some commanding it, others, in his view, led around by it.[1]
George H.W. Bush, who had served as CIA director for only 11 months before becoming president, maintained what Kiriakou calls an ongoing love affair with the agency: he would visit CIA headquarters simply to walk the halls, and staff would spontaneously break into applause at word that “President Bush is walking the halls.”[1] Kiriakou says Richard Nixon likewise had a close relationship with the CIA — one that Kiriakou identifies as one of the factors that brought down his presidency.[2]
