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.
John Kiriakou's 2011 trip to Afghanistan as senior investigator for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee under Chairman John Kerry, where the pair sat through a briefing with 11 one-to-four-star generals presenting an optimistic account of the war — after which Kerry mused the U.S. might win, only for Kiriakou to tell him the U.S. controlled only Kabul, and that the same rosy briefing had been given every year since 2002.
The Afghanistan 2011 Kerry trip was a visit John Kiriakou made to Afghanistan as senior investigator for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, then chaired by John Kerry. After landing at Bagram Airbase, the pair sat through a briefing with 11 generals, ranging from one to four stars, who presented a slide-by-slide account of the war effort that was, in Kiriakou’s telling, entirely rosy — the U.S. moving here, beating the Taliban there, driving them back everywhere.[1]
Coming out of the briefing, Kerry remarked that the U.S. might actually win the war. Kiriakou told him otherwise: the Afghan government under Hamid Karzai was, in effect, only “the mayor of Kabul,” with the Taliban controlling the rest of the country — and, Kiriakou noted, the same optimistic briefing had been given to visiting officials every year since 2002.[2]
