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.

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.
Middle East peace negotiations held at Camp David in the final days of the Clinton administration. Per John Kiriakou — relaying an account from a senior NSC officer who was present — the talks came extraordinarily close to a comprehensive agreement: with President Clinton, Vice President Al Gore, Yasser Arafat, Mahmoud Abbas, and Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres around an enormous Sharpie-marked map of Jerusalem, dividing the city block by block. When the division was complete, Gore said 'My God, we have peace' — and Arafat replied 'I can never sell this to the Palestinian people' and walked out.
The Camp David final talks refers to the Middle East peace negotiations held at Camp David in the final days of the Clinton administration, which came extraordinarily close to a comprehensive agreement before Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat withdrew.
John Kiriakou described a first-hand account of the talks as relayed to him by a close friend who was a very senior officer on the National Security Council and present at Camp David throughout the final week of Clinton’s presidency.[1]
The Sharpie map
In the room were President Bill Clinton, Vice President Al Gore, the NSC officer, Yasser Arafat, Mahmoud Abbas, and Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres along with his deputy. The centerpiece of the session was an enormous map of Jerusalem laid out on a table. Using a Sharpie marker, the parties went through the map dividing the city block by block — negotiating which neighborhoods and zones would fall under which sovereignty.[1][2]
When the division was complete, Gore said: “My God, we have peace.”[2]
Arafat’s withdrawal
Arafat responded: “I can never sell this to the Palestinian people.” He walked out of the room.[2]
Gore ran after him and said: “After all this, you can’t just quit. If there’s something you don’t like, let’s renegotiate it.” Arafat said: “I can never sell any deal to the Palestinian people.” And that was the end of it.[2][3]
Clinton’s retrospective assessment
Kiriakou noted that Clinton alluded to the breakdown in his memoir. Clinton’s stated view: he should have pulled Secretary of State Madeleine Albright out of the North Korea negotiations — which were going nowhere — and put her in the room alongside Gore to apply additional pressure to Arafat.[3]
