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 outfitting the CIA's post-9/11 Islamabad station for terrorist-safe-house raids by ordering roughly $50,000 of tactical gear from the law-enforcement retailer galls.com on his CIA credit card, shipped to Pakistan via State Department diplomatic pouch in under a week — a story he now retells as an ad-read for the retailer, which sponsors one of his podcast appearances.
John Kiriakou says that on his first day running counterterrorism operations in Pakistan after September 11, the station chief told him to devise a standard operating procedure for taking down a terrorist safe house — and CIA headquarters had none of the specialized law-enforcement gear the job required.[1]
The order
An “old-timer” colleague pointed him to the law-enforcement equipment retailer galls.com. From the basement of the American embassy in Islamabad, Kiriakou ordered roughly $50,000 worth of tactical equipment, charging it to his CIA credit card. The State Department shipped the order to Islamabad via diplomatic pouch, and it arrived in under a week — gear Kiriakou says changed the course of CIA counterterrorism operations in Pakistan after 9/11.[2]
