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 ritual in John Kiriakou's Athens station: when an officer made a recruitment, the boss announced it in the staff meeting, everyone applauded, and he threw the officer a Snickers bar.
The Snickers bar was the reward for a recruitment in John Kiriakou’s Athens station. His boss had a habit, he says, of announcing any recruitment at the staff meeting; everyone would applaud, and he would toss the officer a Snickers bar.[1]
Kiriakou earned his first with the recruitment of a Greek petty criminal he had tracked down through a coffee shop — an operation whose payoff he summarises as: “he took the 500 bucks and I got a Snickers bar.”[2][1]
The wider ritual
He was excited enough to send a classified email to one of his instructors at the Farm reporting that he had made his first recruitment and that “it was exactly like it was in training” — adding that it had been the best training he ever had. He also pasted the recruitment announcement cable he had sent to headquarters and forwarded it to the classmates from his training course.[1][3]
Kiriakou was the first of the dozen or so in his class to make a recruitment, and the practice stuck: from then on, anybody in the group who recruited let the others know by email, and the group would send back “hugs and applause.”[3]
