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.

The chapel job
From KiriPedia, the archive of John Kiriakou's on-record words

The work assignment John Kiriakou was given at FCI Loretto after he volunteered to teach a class — *"if I want you to teach a class I'll ask you to teach a class"* — and was made a janitor in the chapel instead, at $1.08 a month.
The chapel job was John Kiriakou’s work assignment at FCI Loretto, and in his telling it is a small case study in how the Bureau of Prisons treats what a prisoner has to offer.
Loretto had, he notes, a substantial education programme — and prisoners with masters’ degrees. When Kiriakou volunteered to teach a class, the answer came back: “if I want you to teach a class, I’ll ask you to teach a class.” He was made a janitor in the chapel.[1][2] The pay he cites for the work is $5.25 a month in one telling and $1.08 in another.[2][3]
What the job gave him
The posting turned out to matter more than the work. Kiriakou describes walking past the same cells every day on his way to the chapel — which is how he came to know an older Italian prisoner he befriended, and how he saw the man he calls Larry deteriorate from a cane to a walker to a wheelchair over months of untreated back pain.[4][5]
It also gave him access to a member of staff outside the security chain. When Kiriakou raised Larry’s case at the chapel’s weekly staff meeting, the chaplain went to the medical unit and demanded that Larry be taken to an outside hospital — the intervention that finally produced an MRI, and the diagnosis of stage four spinal cancer.[6][7]
