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 liaison class

The course John Kiriakou ran at the CIA for visiting officers of allied intelligence services — the setting for Cofer Black's warning weeks before 9/11, and the reason Kiriakou was in the counterterrorism chief's office to ask whether he had meant it.
The liaison class was a course John Kiriakou ran at the CIA for officers of friendly foreign intelligence services — the sort of partner-training that underpins the agency’s liaison relationships, and which he describes with a certain modesty as “John’s little liaison class.”[1]
Its place in his account is fixed by a single visit. Weeks before 11 September 2001, Cofer Black — the head of the Counterterrorism Center, then meeting the president every day or every other day — made time to come and speak to the class. What he told them was that al-Qaeda members were saying goodbye to their families and that the agency was hearing code words for a massive attack: a honey salesman coming with vast quantities of honey, a great football match, an enormous wedding. He then asked them directly for any sources they had inside al-Qaeda.[2]
The class, in Kiriakou’s account, “just sat there and looked at him.” Black shook their hands and left.[1]
Kiriakou sent the visiting officers back to their hotel with an arrangement to collect them at seven for a steakhouse dinner — and used the gap to go to Black’s office, ostensibly to thank him for coming and in fact to ask whether he had meant it. The answer he got was “I was deadly serious. Something terrible is going to happen.”[1][3]
The episode is why the warning is first-hand rather than institutional in Kiriakou’s telling: he did not work on al-Qaeda, and heard it because he happened to be the officer running the room.[1]
