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.

Remains of the Day Treasury Clerk Story

John Kiriakou's account of finding the grave of an obscure Treasury Department clerk who, during the 1814 British burning of Washington, rescued the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, Bill of Rights, and Washington's military commission from the National Archives, and who, after later being deemed too difficult, was quietly transferred to the National Lighthouse Service, where out of boredom he invented the refractor light still used in American lighthouses today.
The Remains of the Day Treasury clerk story is John Kiriakou’s account of finding the grave of an obscure Treasury Department clerk who, during the 1814 British burning of Washington, went to the National Archives after everyone else had fled and rescued the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and George Washington’s military commission, rolling the documents into a sheet and hiding them in the rafters of a barn in Leesburg, Virginia until the British were pushed out.[1]
Kiriakou says the same clerk was later considered difficult by his superiors, who, rather than fire him and set a bad precedent, quietly transferred him to a dead-end post managing the National Lighthouse Service. Bored in the job, he invented the refractor light, which is still used in American lighthouses today and now bears his name.[2]
