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 mailroom standoff
From KiriPedia, the archive of John Kiriakou's on-record words
Based on 1 recorded interview · Last updated
Told at FCI Loretto that he had no right to write to journalists, John Kiriakou printed the Bureau of Prisons regulations in the law library and laid them out in the mailroom until the staff gave up and sent the letter.
Asked about Marty Gottesfeld being cut off from other journalists inside a communications management unit, Kiriakou said the same thing had been tried on him and described how he beat it.[1]
Staff at FCI Loretto tried to stop him communicating with other journalists. He told them they could not do that, because he had a First Amendment right. They told him he did not. He answered that he did, and that it was in the Bureau of Prisons regulations — then went to the law library, printed the regulations out, and laid them on the counter in the mailroom.[1]
”It’s brand spanking new”
Two of the staff then argued that the printout was old. Kiriakou told them it had been published a month earlier. At that they looked at each other, told him to go, and sent the letter.[2]
Kiriakou draws two lessons from the exchange, and states them together. The first is that the staff do not know their own regulations. The second is that they know the prisoner is at such an incredible disadvantage that they can do almost anything they want to him and he has no recourse — which is why, he says, the pressure has to be kept up from the outside, by people whose hands are not tied.[2]
