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 account of watching Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward walk the halls of CIA headquarters unescorted while researching a book, after the CIA director ordered staff to cooperate with him — an episode Kiriakou cites as evidence of how close the relationship between senior CIA officials and favored journalists really is.
Bob Woodward’s CIA headquarters access is John Kiriakou’s account of witnessing the Washington Post’s Bob Woodward move freely through CIA headquarters while researching a book. In his last CIA job, as executive assistant to the agency’s deputy director for operations, Kiriakou was sitting in his office during a lull when he saw Woodward walk past unescorted. He asked a secretary whether that was really Bob Woodward walking the halls without a security escort; she told him he must have missed the director’s email — Woodward had been given free rein to write a book, and staff had been ordered to cooperate with him.[1][2]
Kiriakou has repeated the anecdote in at least two separate interviews with essentially the same details each time, using it to illustrate that the wall Americans imagine exists between the CIA and senior journalists like Woodward, David Ignatius, and others does not, in practice, exist.[1][2]
