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.

American who attempted to assassinate President Gerald Ford in San Francisco in September 1975, two weeks after Mike Mastrovito of the Secret Service had interviewed her at her apartment regarding a threatening letter she had sent to the president. Per John Kiriakou, the case Mastrovito identified as having ended his Secret Service career.
Sara Jane Moore is the American who attempted to assassinate President Gerald Ford in San Francisco in September 1975. Per John Kiriakou — recounting the story of his late friend and colleague Mike Mastrovito — Moore’s case ended Mastrovito’s Secret Service career.[1]
The interview Mastrovito conducted two weeks before
As first director of the Secret Service Intelligence Division, Mastrovito personally followed up on threatening letters mailed to the White House. Moore had sent President Ford a letter containing — per Kiriakou — lines like “ask not for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee.” Mastrovito flew to San Francisco, knocked on her apartment door: “Sarah Jane, I’m Mike Mastrovito from the Secret Service. I got this letter that you wrote to the president. What’s going on here?”[1][2]
Her explanation: “Oh, my Social Security check was late and I was really mad.” Mastrovito: “You threatened to kill the president.” Moore: “No, I’m not going to kill the president.” Mastrovito: “Okay, you’re promising me now.” He said: “You’re not going to kill the president.” Moore: “No, I was just angry. It was a bad day.”[2][3]
The attempt
Ford went to San Francisco two weeks later. Moore was on the street with a .44 and fired. Ford survived. Moore was arrested and “ended up spending almost the rest of her life in prison. They finally released her when Ford died.”[3]
End of Mastrovito’s career
Per Kiriakou: Mastrovito was told after the attempt, “It’s time for you to go.”[4]
The warning that was let go
John Kiriakou cites Sara Jane Moore as an example of the Secret Service’s failure to follow up: its intelligence chief, Michael Maroulis, flew to San Francisco to ask her in person about her near-daily threats to kill the president; reassured, he let it go, and two weeks later she pulled a .45 at a rally and fired six shots at President Ford.[5][6]
