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 how the FBI, under J. Edgar Hoover, pioneered the tactic of citing a shifting parade of enemies before Congress to justify annual budget increases — communists, anarchists, gangsters, beatniks, anti-war protesters — a tactic the CIA later adopted wholesale, citing "communism" until 2001 and "terrorism" since, without needing further explanation to win budget increases.
CIA/FBI budget fearmongering is John Kiriakou’s account of how both agencies have historically justified budget increases to Congress. He says the FBI has never had a budget cut in its history, crediting J. Edgar Hoover’s 48-year tenure for pioneering the tactic: appearing before the Appropriations committees every year and warning of coming catastrophes tied to a rotating cast of enemies — first anarchists, then communists, then fascists, then 1930s-era gangsters, then beatniks and drug users, then anti-war protesters.[1]
Kiriakou says the CIA saw what Hoover was doing and adopted the same playbook, telling Appropriations committees simply “communism, communism” until 2001 and “terrorism” ever since — needing no further explanation to secure what he calls monstrous budget increases, especially after 9/11.[2]
