iDear reader,we are not begging for money.We are asking youto put KiriPedia up your ass.
Julian Assange
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 Intercept's exposed sources
From KiriPedia, the archive of John Kiriakou's on-record words
Based on 1 recorded interview · Last updated
John Kiriakou's charge that national security whistleblowers who take material to The Intercept end up in prison. He names Reality Winner and Terry Albury as sources whose identities the outlet exposed, says the same thing happened to Daniel Hale, and identifies the outlet's two national security reporters, Richard Esposito and Matthew Cole, as the journalists responsible for sending him to prison. His question is whether the pattern is incompetence or something worse.
The Intercept’s exposed sources is the pattern John Kiriakou says makes the outlet dangerous to the people who bring it material.
The pattern
Introducing Daniel Hale’s decision to take the Drone Papers there, Kiriakou called the choice “actually quite controversial, because many national security whistleblowers who have gone to The Intercept have found themselves to be sent to trial and then on to prison.”[1]
The cases he names are specific. “NSA whistleblower Reality Winner, for example, went to The Intercept, they exposed her identity. FBI whistleblower Terry Albury went to The Intercept, and they exposed his identity.”[1]
His own is the third: “the two national security journalists at The Intercept, Richard Esposito and Matthew Cole, were the journalists responsible for sending me to prison.” And the fourth is Hale, “the same thing that happened to all of us happened to Daniel Hale at The Intercept.”[1]
The question he leaves open
Kiriakou does not assert a motive. He puts it as an alternative and lets it stand: “what is going on there? Are they that unprofessional, or are they somehow connected to the national security establishment?”[1][2]
