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 Melber walkout
From KiriPedia, the archive of John Kiriakou's on-record words
Based on 1 recorded interview · Last updated
An incident on MSNBC in which John Kiriakou removed his microphone and threatened to leave the set after host Ari Melber introduced him as a leaker and a convicted felon, on a segment about whistleblowing recorded alongside Daniel Ellsberg. Kiriakou recounts it as the sharpest instance of the naming fight he has waged with the networks for over a decade.
The Melber walkout was an incident during a recorded MSNBC segment in which John Kiriakou removed his microphone and told the host he was leaving. It is the sharpest episode in the long dispute over whether he is described as a whistleblower or a leaker.
The host, Ari Melber, introduced him not only as a leaker but as a convicted felon.[1] Kiriakou’s reply was immediate: “Okay, if you’re going to play games like that, I’m walking”, and he took his microphone off.[2] The segment was being taped in advance rather than broadcast live, and Melber apologised and asked what he objected to.[2]
What Kiriakou objected to was the pairing of the framing with the subject matter. “You brought me on here with Daniel Ellsberg of all people, the godfather of all whistleblowers, to talk about whistleblowing. And then you introduced me as a leaker and convicted felon.”[2]
He places the episode within a wider pattern he has tracked across the networks: it took his attorneys a full year to get CNN to stop calling him a leaker, Fox News used the word whistleblower from the beginning, and MSNBC has never changed.[1]
