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 pillow talk leak case
From KiriPedia, the archive of John Kiriakou's on-record words
Based on 1 recorded interview · Last updated
A 1990s CIA disclosure John Kiriakou witnessed from the next desk: a colleague passed classified information to a retired senior officer she was involved with, who repeated it on CNN as a terrorism consultant. The agency traced it to her within days and punished her administratively — a letter in her file, two weeks without pay, a year without promotion. Kiriakou holds it up as the correct way to handle mishandled classified information.
John Kiriakou uses this case as his benchmark for proportionate treatment of a classified disclosure, and he watched it happen from the adjacent desk.
“At the CIA in the 1990s I sat next to a woman who was having an affair with a man who used to be a senior CIA officer. He had retired and he had gone to CNN as a terrorism consultant — and in the course of pillow talk she relayed classified information to him. He went on CNN and repeated the classified information.”[1][2]
The investigation was quick and the outcome was administrative. “The CIA began an investigation. They immediately tied it right back to her. She was not charged with espionage. What they did was they wrote a strongly worded letter and put it in her personnel file. They suspended her without pay for two weeks, and she was ineligible for a promotion for a period of one year.”[3]
His conclusion is stated as a rule: “that’s how you handle the misuse of classified information.” He applies it in both directions — to the boxes in Joe Biden’s garage and to the documents at Mar-a-Lago alike: “shame on you, you should have a strongly worded letter put in your personnel file. But espionage? Sorry.”[3][4][5]
