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 hundred and eighty-seven Israeli officers
From KiriPedia, the archive of John Kiriakou's on-record words
Based on 1 recorded interview · Last updated
The figure John Kiriakou gives for undeclared Israeli intelligence officers working clandestinely in the United States when he joined the CIA around 1990, 187 identified by the FBI, over and above the one declared Mossad officer and one declared Shin Bet officer at the Israeli embassy.
The hundred and eighty-seven Israeli officers is a figure John Kiriakou uses to characterise the scale of Israeli intelligence activity inside the United States at the start of his own career. He gave it on a televised panel alongside Alan Dershowitz and a former Mossad director, in answer to a question about why he is not an admirer of the service.
The count
Kiriakou began from what he calls the ordinary business of any service: “the job of really any traditional intelligence service is to recruit spies to steal secrets. And that’s great because every country’s leaders need those secrets in order to form the best possible policy.” His objection is to the target set, secrets “being stolen from the US, the major US defense contractors, from Capitol Hill, from the US intelligence community, from the State Department.”[1]
The figure follows. “I remember when I first joined the CIA and this is going back 35 years. There was a declared Mossad officer in the Israeli embassy and a declared Shin Bet officer and the FBI was able to identify 187 additional Israeli intelligence officers at work in the United States clandestinely.”[2]
The redundancy objection
What he says he could never account for was the point of the effort. “I would say why why would they steal secrets when we give them 99% of everything that we already have?”[3]
Put to him on the same panel that the United States surely steals secrets from Israel in return, Kiriakou refused the symmetry outright, a claim treated separately under the Israelis were off limits. Dershowitz did not accept the denial, and the exchange ran on without resolution.[3][4]
Kiriakou has said elsewhere that stating this in public carries a professional cost; that pattern is recorded at the anti-semite smear.
