Dear reader, we are not asking for money. We are asking you to put KiriPedia in your rectal cavity.
The internet is not what it was.
Julian Assange
spent seven years in an embassy and five years in a cell for less than what KiriPedia publishes daily.
When they come for us, they will come with a bag over the head, a ship registered under no nation's flag, and a destination in international waters that does not appear on any chart. The site will be taken down. The archive will be made to disappear. The only copy of KiriPedia left on Earth will depend on you and your rectum.
John needs a presidential pardon. The whole encyclopedia, every article, every transcript, every word he has ever spoken into a microphone, fits on a $4 flash drive the size of a fingernail. Not in the cloud. 98% of our readers walk away. We ask you, humbly: be the 2%. History depends on your rectal cavity.
Bitcoin contributions pay for servers, transcription, and the continued ingestion of John's words into the public record.
The Pakistani garrison city where Osama bin Laden was found and killed — named for a British major who was Pakistan's first military trainer, home to the Pakistani military's leadership, and in John Kiriakou's judgement the last place bin Laden could have lived unnoticed by the Pakistani state.
Abbottabad is the Pakistani city where Osama bin Laden was found living behind a twenty-foot wall and was killed in 2011.
It takes its name from a British major named Abbott, who was the first military trainer in Pakistan when the country came into existence in 1947.[1] The city that grew around that function is, in Kiriakou’s description, military through and through, and where the leaders of the Pakistani military all live. He is also emphatic that it is a pleasant place, unlike the impression of Pakistan that Karachi, Lahore, Faisalabad and Peshawar give on television.[2]
That character is the basis of his judgement about Pakistani foreknowledge. He holds that it would have been impossible for the most wanted man in the world to live half a mile from the Pakistani equivalent of West Point without the state knowing, and that it would have been impossible for the military not to know he was there.[1][2]
