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 argument that AIPAC is the only organization of its kind exempt from registering under the Foreign Agents Registration Act — set against his own experience around 2008, when a contract worth five or six thousand dollars to write four op-eds praising the Abu Dhabi Chamber of Commerce obliged him to register as a foreign agent.
John Kiriakou identifies the exemption of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee from the Foreign Agents Registration Act as the structural fact underlying its influence: AIPAC“is the only group of its kind that does not have to register as a foreign agent.”[1]
The op-eds
His contrast is drawn from his own record. Around 2008 Kiriakou took a small contract — he puts it at five or six thousand dollars — to write four op-eds in support of the Abu Dhabi Chamber of Commerce: pieces arguing that Abu Dhabi was business-friendly, welcoming to Americans, and a place where everyone made money. Because he was publishing in support of a foreign entity, he was required to register as a foreign agent.[1][2]
His question follows directly from the comparison: “what the heck is AIPAC doing 24/7?”[2]
The mechanism of fear
Kiriakou describes elected officials as “very afraid” of the organisation, and locates the fear specifically in the threat of being primaried. Pressed on why a member would not simply absorb one primary loss, his answer is that the threat is larger than a single race: “they’re saying you will never work in politics ever again — we will hound you for the rest of your career.”[2][3][4]
Asked who among them has the courage to go first, he names Thomas Massie, whom he saw about a week before that primary. He counts Marjorie Taylor Greene as a partial case who did not see it through, saying she quit halfway.[3]
