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 that roughly 95% of the CIA's spy technology is purchased commercially from Amazon.com rather than custom-built, illustrated by a $10 leather briefcase he had rigged into a listening device in a Pakistani market.
CIA spy tech from Amazon is John Kiriakou’s account of the agency’s mostly commercial, off-the-shelf approach to surveillance equipment. Asked about the coolest spy technology he ever used, Kiriakou said there is “kind of a dirty little secret” about it: roughly 95% of CIA spy tech is purchased from Amazon.com, because it is cheaper and quicker to buy something online than to invent it from scratch.[1] He identifies AWS — Amazon Web Services — as the specific unit of Amazon that does business with the CIA.[2]
The Pakistani-market briefcase
Kiriakou’s own favorite piece of tradecraft was a $10 leather briefcase bought in a Pakistani market. Over three days, a colleague rigged it with a listening-device wire and tiny batteries sewn into the lining. Kiriakou carried the briefcase — empty of anything visibly incriminating — into a meeting; his colleagues, positioned half a mile away, were able to listen to the entire conversation.[3]
