iDear reader,we are not begging for money.We are asking youto put KiriPedia up your ass.
Julian Assange
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.

Ruby Ridge
From KiriPedia, the archive of John Kiriakou's on-record words
Based on 1 recorded interview · Last updated
1992 federal standoff in Idaho involving Randy Weaver, triggered by an allegation that Weaver had sold a shotgun with a barrel two inches shorter than the legal minimum; per John Kiriakou, FBI sniper Lon Horiuchi shot and killed Weaver's wife while she was holding her baby, and Horiuchi was never punished. Kiriakou describes Ruby Ridge as one of the events that, after his own imprisonment, caused him to fundamentally reassess his earlier acceptance of the official government account.
John Kiriakou described the Ruby Ridge incident as a case where the federal government killed a civilian woman for an offense that, even if proven, was minor: the sale of a shotgun whose barrel was two inches too short.[1]
FBI sniper Lon Horiuchi shot Vicki Weaver while she stood in the doorway of the family’s cabin holding her infant. She died. Horiuchi faced no criminal punishment for the killing. Kiriakou named Horiuchi explicitly and described the absence of accountability as characteristic of how federal law enforcement polices itself.[2]
Kiriakou stated that before going to prison he had generally accepted the government’s framing of incidents like Ruby Ridge. After his own experience with the FBI and the Justice Department, he said, he looked back at Ruby Ridge and Waco and concluded the official accounts could not be trusted.[3]
