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 Bureau of Prisons' Residential Drug and Alcohol Program, which can shave 12 to 18 months off a federal sentence; John Kiriakou repeatedly advises fellow whistleblowers that, combined with good behavior and a halfway house, it can turn a five-year sentence into as little as two and a half years.
The RDAP program, the Bureau of Prisons’ Residential Drug and Alcohol Program, is a sentence-reduction scheme John Kiriakou repeatedly recommends to fellow whistleblowers facing federal time.[1] An inmate with any history of drug or alcohol problems, he says, can “sit there every week for a year” watching “a DVD of the A&E network show Intervention,” and “they take 12 to 18 months off your sentence.”[1] Combined with good behavior and a halfway house, Kiriakou told Daniel Hale, a five-year sentence could shrink to “two and a half years”, “next thing you know you’re out.”[2] He drew on the same math to reassure Hale that the fear of a decade behind bars was worse than the likely reality.[3][4]
In a separate interview, Kiriakou describes RDAP in the same terms, sitting through a course that is “basically just sitting and watching episodes of Intervention”, noting the judge in Hale’s case had strongly recommended he serve at the low-security federal prison at Butner, North Carolina, in part because of a substance-abuse problem.[5] He also recounts advising Hale directly, when the U.S. Marshals Service conducted its pre-sentencing investigation, to disclose a drug or alcohol problem: “Lead with it, that’ll make you eligible to be enrolled in the Bureau of Prisons RDAP program.”[6]
