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 inside-job refusal
From KiriPedia, the archive of John Kiriakou's on-record words
Based on 1 recorded interview · Last updated
Pressed on controlled-demolition theories about the World Trade Center, John Kiriakou refuses the premise while conceding the limits of his own expertise — he was inside the CIA's Counterterrorism Center before the attacks, and says he has never seen any evidence that 9/11 was an inside job.
Kiriakou is a persistent critic of the CIA who nonetheless declines to endorse the best-known conspiracy account of the September 11 attacks. Put to him in interview — with the claim that demolition experts had said no building falls vertically like that, and that explosions had been reported on air — his answer separates the parts of the question he can speak to from the parts he cannot.
The disclaimer
He begins by conceding the limits of his competence. “I’m not an engineer. I’m not an architect.” [1] On the specific physical claim he does not offer a counter-argument: “I can’t respond to the physics of the towers collapsing upon themselves.” [2]
What he does claim
What he offers instead is standing. “I was inside the CIA’s Counterterrorism Center in the year and a half prior to the 9/11 attacks.” On that basis he makes two flat statements: “I know that Al-Qaeda did those attacks. I know that Al-Qaeda flew planes into those buildings.” [1]
On the inside-job question he is categorical about the absence of evidence rather than about the physics. “I have never seen any evidence ever that this was an inside job or that there were explosives planted inside the buildings. Never have I seen any evidence.” He allows that he has heard the speculation, and characterises it as exactly that. “But I know that this was not an inside job.” [2]
Alongside his other criticisms
The refusal does not soften Kiriakou’s account of the failure itself. In the same conversation he calls the attacks “the greatest intelligence failure in American history,” and states the reason without hedging: “3,000 Americans died in one day because the CIA didn’t do its job.” [3]
He uses that failure to explain what followed rather than to imply complicity — a desire for revenge, an effort to kill or capture as many Al-Qaeda figures as possible, and, alongside the aim of disrupting the next attack, “a desire to make them suffer.” [3]
