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.

The Air Force One bomb threat
From KiriPedia, the archive of John Kiriakou's on-record words
Based on 1 recorded interview · Last updated
The bomb threat telephoned to the classified telephone aboard Air Force One as Bill Clinton's aircraft lifted out of Athens in November 1999, disclosed by the ambassador at the embassy's after-action review, a detail John Kiriakou withheld from years of tellings of that visit until 2026.
The Air Force One bomb threat was a threat telephoned directly to President Bill Clinton’s aircraft as it took off from Athens at the end of his November 1999 visit to Greece.[1]
The visit had ended in the basement of the Intercontinental Hotel, where Clinton gave a raucous and wildly popular speech to the Greek American Business Women’s Association before driving to Ellinikon, the old Athens airport, and flying back to Washington.[2][3]John Kiriakou, who had drawn the note-taker’s job for the presidential meeting in the lottery run by Ambassador Nicholas Burns, returned to the embassy for the hot wash, the after-action review at which everybody involved goes through every detail of a visit, what went right, what went wrong and what was learned.[4][3]
The ambassador opened it with a question: “Do you want to hear something crazy?” Just as the aircraft was taking off, he said, the telephone inside Air Force One rang. Somebody in Greece had obtained the top secret number for it, and the call was a threat to blow up the aircraft. Clinton did not answer; a low-level aide took it.[3][1]
Kiriakou, who describes the episode as a side of the Athens story he had never told before, uses it as the argument against dismissing warnings out of hand. Discussing the Israeli intelligence behind the catering truck transfer, which he does not believe, he adds that “you have to take every shred of information like this seriously just in case it’s legit.”[2][1][5]
