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 modified CMU
From KiriPedia, the archive of John Kiriakou's on-record words
Based on 1 recorded interview · Last updated
The communications restrictions imposed on John Kiriakou at FCI Loretto after his Letter from Loretto was published by the Huffington Post. Staff called it a modified communications management unit: a five-day delay on incoming and outgoing email, live monitoring of his telephone calls rather than recording, and a prohibition on speaking Greek to his family.
His lawyer had set up a mailing list of about six hundred people and asked him to write when he had settled in, so they would know he was all right. Kiriakou waited roughly six weeks and then wrote what he called a letter from Loretto, in deliberate homage to Martin Luther King’s letter from Birmingham jail — a day in the life, as he describes it.[1][2]
He had not known that his lawyer was a close friend of Arianna Huffington. The piece ran as a banner headline on the Huffington Post and took more than two million hits over the following days, after which he gave interviews to Jake Tapper, who drove to the prison, and to NPR, Playboy, The Economist and The Atlantic Monthly among others.[2]
The restrictions
The institution clamped down immediately on his access to the outside world. He was not sent to a genuine communications management unit — he considers himself fortunate in that — but to what staff called a modified one.[1][3]
Incoming and outgoing email carried a five-day delay. His telephone calls were monitored live rather than taped for later review at the monitors’ discretion.[3] Kiriakou speaks Greek and Arabic, and had been using Greek with his children and his aunt; that was stopped. Asked why, the answer he was given was that the monitors were too stupid to follow it.[3][4]
The monitoring had teeth. He was summoned to the lieutenant’s office over a private call with his wife in which he had called a guard a Nimrod — a summons that in his description normally means solitary and then transfer to a higher-security prison.[5]
