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 golf course deed forgery
From KiriPedia, the archive of John Kiriakou's on-record words
Based on 1 recorded interview · Last updated
The property fraud John Kiriakou encountered at FCI Loretto, a prisoner who forged papers transferring ownership of a golf course to himself and then began charging people rent, and the place such crimes occupy in the prison's own hierarchy of offences.
The golf course deed forgery is the property fraud John Kiriakou encountered among his fellow prisoners at FCI Loretto, and which he cites as the strangest charge he came across there.
The crime
The man had been convicted of property fraud, “which I had never heard of before”, Kiriakou says. The method was documentary: “he just forged papers transferring ownership of a golf course to himself, and then he tried to charge people rent.”[1][2]
The host likened it to the squatters who write up a fake deed, and Kiriakou agreed. He also endorsed the reason such offences are punished as heavily as they are: car theft descends directly from horse theft because it takes a man’s livelihood, and “stealing a man’s home is the same way.”[2]
Where it sat in the prison’s own ranking
Inside, the ranking of offences ran on different lines from the sentencing guidelines. Arson drew no reaction at all, Kiriakou knew three arsonists, and the only question asked was whether anyone had died. “No. Okay, nobody cares.” Insurance fraud and mortgage fraud were treated the same way.[1]
The men who were disliked were the large white-collar criminals, and the reason was not the offence but the bearing. They were regarded as soft: “Oh, you thought you were going to get away with it. Poor you. You got caught and now it’s like, oh, I’m in prison, oh my god.” Kiriakou’s own summary of the judgement is that “it’s a class thing.”[3][1]
