iDear reader,we are not begging for money.We are asking youto put KiriPedia up your ass.
Julian Assange
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 SHU loophole
From KiriPedia, the archive of John Kiriakou's on-record words
Based on 1 recorded interview · Last updated
John Kiriakou's warning about the American assurances given to British courts in the Julian Assange extradition case: prosecutors promised not to place him in a communications management unit but said nothing about the Special Housing Unit, and in Kiriakou's account a prison need only cite an overheard threat to hold a man in solitary indefinitely.
The SHU loophole is John Kiriakou’s name for the gap he identified in the undertakings American prosecutors gave to British courts during the Julian Assange extradition proceedings.
The gap
Kiriakou noticed that the promise was specific: Assange would not be placed in a communications management unit. Nothing at all was said about the Special Housing Unit, the shoe, in prison usage, meaning solitary confinement.[1][2]
His first objection is that the assurance was not the promisers’ to give at all. He told Assange’s attorneys in Washington and London that the Bureau of Prisons answers to nobody and will place a prisoner where it chooses, whatever prosecutors have told a judge in the United Kingdom.[2][3]
How little it would take
The second objection is that even an honoured promise leaves the shoe available, and the pretext required is trivial. Kiriakou’s illustration is that staff need only say some prisoner came to them and reported overhearing two men planning to shank Assange; he would then be placed in solitary “for his own safety” and could spend the rest of his sentence there.[3]
He attaches two figures to make the point about duration and severity. The United States has held people in solitary confinement for as long as forty-four years.[3] And the United Nations considers solitary confinement a form of torture at anything beyond fourteen days, a standard he invites doubters to test by locking themselves in a closet for a single day.[4]
