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.
Kiriakou's account of serving, while stationed in Bahrain, as the embassy's econ officer and by extension its fishing, banking, aviation, and environment officer — including delivering a formal U.S. demarche to Bahrain's deputy foreign minister over a U.S.-Canada dispute about whether clams legally count as fish.
The Bahrain fishing officer demarche is an anecdote John Kiriakou tells about his posting in Bahrain, where as the embassy’s sole econ officer he was also, by default, its fishing, banking, aviation, and environment officer. In that capacity he was tasked with delivering a formal demarche — a diplomatic protest — to Bahrain’s deputy foreign minister, Ambassador Ghazi Algosaibi, over a U.S.-Canada dispute about whether clams legally count as fish.[1] The U.S. position, he says, was that clams are fish because they move more than 10 feet a day by opening and closing their shells, while Canada argued they are shellfish whose movement is aided by ocean currents rather than their own locomotion. The dispute grew serious enough, per Kiriakou, that the U.S. sent a naval vessel off the coast of western Canada.[2]
