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 Saigon CIA station photograph

The Pulitzer-winning image of evacuees climbing a ladder to a helicopter during the fall of Saigon in 1975. John Kiriakou, who talked his way onto the roof in 2026, points out that the building most Americans take for the embassy was in fact an apartment block that secretly housed the CIA's Saigon station.
Kiriakou calls it “one of the most iconic photographs of the 20th century” — dozens of people on a rooftop, climbing a bent ladder to a helicopter perched on a small hut, trying for the last flight out of Saigon. It won the Pulitzer Prize.[1][2]
The correction he offers concerns the building: “Many Americans think it was the American embassy. It wasn’t the American embassy. It was an apartment building that was secretly the CIA’s station in Saigon.”[2]
Visiting in 2026, he found it in ordinary use — “just a workingclass apartment building now” — and got to the roof by paying for it: “we bribed the security guard down on the first floor and he let us go up there and take pictures.”[2][3] What he found there had not been touched: “there’s an abandoned bar up there that looks like it was abandoned in 1975. People just left it the way it was the day the United States bugged out in 1975. It was an incredible thing to see.”[3]
