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 GUR-SBU gun battle
From KiriPedia, the archive of John Kiriakou's on-record words
Based on 1 recorded interview · Last updated
The daylight shootout on Shumsky Street in Kyiv, in which Ukraine's two most senior intelligence services, the GUR (military intelligence) and the SBU (domestic security), fired on each other after the SBU detained a GUR officer. John Kiriakou, asked to react on the Sanchez Effect, said he had tried to think of a precedent and could not; he treats the fight as *"the breakdown of the Ukrainian side."*
The GUR-SBU gun battle is John Kiriakou’s name for the daylight firefight on Shumsky Street in Kyiv between Ukraine’s military-intelligence service and its domestic-security service.
The trigger
The account Rick Sanchez laid out and Kiriakou reacted to: “It began at night, continued into the morning hours. It sounds like it was sparked because there was a GUR guy, an agent, he was apprehended by the SBU guys. Remember, GUR is like their CIA. And the other guys got angry. That started this whole battle between them, and before you knew it, you have the two most important security agencies in all of Ukraine in a gun battle in the middle of the street while people are watching this.”[1][2]
Kiriakou’s precedent search
Kiriakou reached for one from his own agency and failed to find one. “The CIA and the FBI have always hated each other and that’s not unusual. In the UK, MI5 and MI6 don’t like each other so much. You see this country to country. But to go into a gun battle on the streets, when you first raised this, I was thinking to myself, there has to be a precedent for this kind of thing. And I couldn’t come up with one. I’ve never heard of such a thing happen. It’s chaos.”[3][4]
The reading
“It’s the breakdown of the Ukrainian side. It really is.”[4]
