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.

CIA secretary stationed in Ghana in the 1980s; the only other American besides John Kiriakou to have been charged under the Intelligence Identities Protection Act of 1982; revealed the names of CIA officers and sources in Ghana to a Ghanaian intelligence-service lover during pillow talk, leading to the execution of the named sources by Ghanaian authorities; sentenced to nine months in prison.
Sharon Scranage was a Central Intelligence Agency secretary stationed at the U.S. embassy in Ghana in the 1980s. She is the only other American besides John Kiriakou to have been criminally charged under the Intelligence Identities Protection Act of 1982. Her case is invoked by Kiriakou in his account of his own prosecution as the precedent against which the federal government’s choice of forty-five years as the appropriate sentence for him should be measured.[1]
Disclosure and consequence
Scranage was having an affair with a member of the Ghanaian intelligence service. “In the course of pillow talk, she revealed the names of all of the CIA officers in the station and the names of the sources they were running. And so the Ghanaians executed these guys.”[1][2]
In the period during which Kiriakou and his wife stayed up overnight considering the Justice Department’s plea offers, the Scranage precedent was the principal data point shaping their thinking. The disproportion, nine months for a disclosure that produced executions versus forty-five years for whistleblowing on the CIA torture program, was, in Kiriakou’s framing, definitive evidence that his prosecution was political: “They offer me 45 years for blowing the whistle on the torture program.”[2][3]
