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 Walmart phone call
From KiriPedia, the archive of John Kiriakou's on-record words
Based on 1 recorded interview · Last updated
John Kiriakou's account, from a White House friend, that Jared Kushner personally telephoned the chief executive of Walmart to find a job for a woman whose life sentence Donald Trump had commuted, and rang back every six months to check on her.
In a July 2019 conversation about federal sentencing, Kiriakou raised the commutation of a woman who had been serving life without parole for selling drugs, which he described as one of the highest-profile commutations of the Trump presidency. The auto-caption garbles her name; Kiriakou identifies her only by her sentence and her case.[1]
He said he had learned the day before, from a friend of his who happens to work in the White House, that Jared Kushner had personally called the chief executive of Walmart to get the woman a job.[1] Kushner had then called every six months since, to make sure she was doing all right.[2]
The judgement Kiriakou draws from it
Kiriakou prefaced the story by saying that he is not a natural supporter of Donald Trump, and by praising him for issuing pardons and commutations throughout his term whenever he thought he had found an injustice rather than saving them for a lame-duck period after an election — a habit Kiriakou traced back to Abraham Lincoln.[3]
On Kushner specifically, Kiriakou said that for all his detractors and all his problems he is right on judicial reform and sentencing reform, and has personally intervened to get a lot of people out of prison.[3] He located the source of that commitment in the family: Kushner’s father served a federal sentence, and Kiriakou suggested in the same breath that this was why the prosecutor who put him there never got a job in that White House.[2]
