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.

Qala-i-Jangi uprising
From KiriPedia, the archive of John Kiriakou's on-record words
Based on 2 recorded interviews · Last updated
The late-November 2001 prisoner uprising at a fortress in northern Afghanistan during which CIA officer Mike Spann was killed; the event during which the American al-Qaeda figure John Walker Lindh was captured; among the first major firefights of the post-9/11 Afghan campaign.
The Qala-i-Jangi uprising was a prisoner revolt at the Qala-i-Jangi fortress in northern Afghanistan in late November 2001, during which Taliban and al-Qaeda prisoners, who had been captured by the Northern Alliance, overwhelmed their CIA and military interrogators. Central Intelligence Agency officer Mike Spann was killed in the uprising, becoming the first American killed in combat in Afghanistan after the September 11 attacks. The American al-Qaeda figure John Walker Lindh had just been captured at the same site and was present at the start of the uprising.[1][2][3]
Why the date mattered to a Senate investigation
When Kiriakou tried to establish whether CIA officers had been present at the loading of the containers at Dasht-i-Leili, the uprising gave him his one certainty about American presence. “I know CIA officers were present 20 miles away, because the box-up was the same day as the uprising at Qala-i-Jangi.”[4]
What he could not establish was the twenty miles in between, whether the two English-speaking men in blue jeans described by a witness at the container site were agency officers.[5][4]
