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.
Hollowed everyday objects — known inside the CIA as CDs — issued to officers to hide documents, equipment and, in the larger sizes, a gun. Per John Kiriakou every CIA officer has access to them, some are simply assigned with no instructions attached, and the way they are found in real life is the way they are found in *The Good Shepherd* — by an anomaly a hand can feel.
Concealment devices — CDs in CIA usage — are everyday objects modified to hide something inside them. John Kiriakou confirms they are real, ordinary and widely distributed: “certainly books like that exist. They’re called CDs or concealment devices.” Some are handed out without a purpose attached — “here are some CDs for you. Use them for whatever you want to use them for” — and some are big enough to hold a gun. “Absolutely they exist, and every CIA officer has access to them.”[1][2]
How one is found
Reviewing the scene in The Good Shepherd in which a hollowed copy of Ulysses is detected on a shelf, Kiriakou calls the setup slightly “Hollywood fabulist” but the method sound. The character is looking for an anomaly in the placement of the book: it sits among classic literature, but its binding is newer and it stands ever so slightly higher than the others — the signature of a book that has been handled.[2]
Taking it down, he is checking the hard cover for a second anomaly — whether something has been glued in, whether there is something inside — and he can feel it. Kiriakou’s professional verdict on the device rather than the search: “Frankly, it wasn’t a very good concealment device if you can feel it with your finger.”[3]
The Directorate of Science and Technology’s old work
Kiriakou places concealment devices in the historical portfolio of the Directorate of Science and Technology, which in his time was “almost an afterthought” responsible mostly for disguises and “briefcases with secret pockets in them.” The directorate has since moved to what he calls big-ticket items and pushed the concealment and disguise work out to individuals and makeup companies.[4][5]
