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.
The Washington museum of espionage. John Kiriakou, who gives private tours of it, describes its room on the CIA torture program as a video loop in which only the torturers are given a voice — and in which he, the officer who exposed the program, is never mentioned.
The International Spy Museum is the Washington museum of espionage. John Kiriakou has an ongoing relationship with it — he mentions having gone two weeks earlier to give a family a tour.[1]
The torture room
His objection concerns a small room dedicated to the CIA torture program. It runs a loop of videos, and Kiriakou’s complaint is about whose voices are in it: “the only people that they’re looping are the torturers. And I’m never mentioned in that in that video. Only the pro-torture people uh are giving their side of the story. It’s it’s sickening.”[1]
He raises it while answering a question about which of his former colleagues were complicit rather than merely silent, and it functions in his account as evidence of the same pattern: that the officers who ran the program have kept the ability to narrate it, several of them having written books arguing that torture was a good idea and that it saved lives.[2]
