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.

Kuwaiti Ambassador to the United States in the run-up to the 1990 Iraqi invasion; per John Kiriakou, "just a lovely, lovely man, very generous with his time"; the diplomatic channel through which the CIA, working from the Kuwaiti embassy in Washington, communicated its escalating June–July 1990 warnings that Iraq was preparing to invade.
Saud Nasir Al-Sabah was Kuwait’s Ambassador to the United States in the run-up to the 1990 Iraqi invasion. Per John Kiriakou: “Ambassador Saud Nasir was just a lovely, lovely man, very generous with his time. We had a very good close relationship with him.”[1]
Kiriakou, then an overt CIA analyst, was a regular visitor at the Kuwaiti embassy: “I would go and say, ‘Hello, Mr. Ambassador. I’m John Kiriakou from the CIA.’ He knew me as that kid from the CIA.”[2]
In June and July 1990 the CIA’s warnings to Kuwait were communicated “two ways. We would do it through the Kuwaiti embassy, which would have been Ambassador Saud Nasir Al-Sabah, and then in Kuwait the ambassador would have gone to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Minister of Defense.”[3]
On the morning of the August 2, 1990 invasion President George H. W. Bush was on the phone with the ambassador when Kiriakou and his boss arrived in the Oval Office.[4]
The incubator-baby testimony
Kiriakou has separately identified the ambassador’s connection to the fabricated “incubator babies” story used to build support for the Gulf War. Watching a congressional hearing as a young CIA Iraq leadership analyst, he recognized the 15-year-old girl testifying that she had witnessed Iraqi soldiers throwing premature babies from hospital incubators as Saud Nasir Al-Sabah’s daughter, and told his boss on the spot that she was fabricating the story.[5]
