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.
Secret CIA drone surveillance base in southwestern Pakistan's Balochistan region; its location was inadvertently disclosed when investigative journalist Jason Leopold filed a Freedom of Information Act request for Pentagon aviation-fuel-delivery records and identified an outsized fuel flow to the otherwise-undocumented base.
The Balochistan drone base is a Central Intelligence Agency drone surveillance facility in southwestern Pakistan’s Balochistan region. Its existence — initially top-secret — was inadvertently disclosed when investigative journalist Jason Leopold identified an unusual concentration of aviation-fuel deliveries to the base in Pentagon records he obtained via Freedom of Information Act request.[1][2]
Disclosure mechanism
[Leopold] read somewhere that drones use a certain kind of aviation fuel. And so he just did a Freedom of Information Act request to the Pentagon for the locations of all of the deliveries of this aviation fuel. And millions of dollars of fuel were going into this desert base in southwestern Pakistan — this top-secret base that’s not top-secret anymore because the Freedom of Information Act has told us so.[2]
The episode is invoked by John Kiriakou as a representative illustration of contemporary government information-management failure: “For all the smart guys in government who are supposed to keep a secret and claim to be able to keep the secret and whatever, they literally write stuff in the modern metadata that someone at home can get.”[3]
