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.

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.
A spring 2001 U.S. counterintelligence report on so-called "Israeli art students" who used counterfeit visas to try to access federal buildings and military sites, some living on the same Hollywood, Florida block as 9/11 hijacker Mohamed Atta; per John Kiriakou, the "dancing Israelis" stopped by NYPD in a white panel van on 9/11 were part of the same espionage effort and were released back to Israel rather than prosecuted.
The Israeli art student spy ring refers to a spring 2001 report by the Office of the National Counterintelligence Executive describing so-called “Israeli art students” who tried to illegally access a number of federal buildings using counterfeit visas. John Kiriakou says several of them lived on the same block in Hollywood, Florida as 9/11 hijacker Mohamed Atta and other hijackers.[1]
The “dancing Israelis”
Kiriakou connects the art-student network to the “dancing Israelis,” a group stopped by the NYPD in a white panel van on the day of the September 11 attacks. When first stopped, they insisted, “No, no, we’re friends. You don’t want us. You want the Arabs. The Arabs are the enemy. You should focus on the Arabs, not us. We’re friends. We’re Israeli.” Kiriakou’s assessment: “Well, they were spies. They were Israeli spies.”[2]
He places the episode in a broader pattern: Israel, he says, infiltrates American society around military bases and defense contractors to steal information the same way Russia, China, and Cuba do, because Israel is not content with receiving 99% of American weapons systems and wants the remaining 1% — “they are willing to risk the very relationship” with Washington to get it.[3]
Release rather than prosecution
Kiriakou says the detained Israelis were ultimately released and sent back to Israel simply because they were Israeli — a decision made by the U.S. attorney general in coordination with the president, chief of staff, or national security adviser. Nationals of any other country caught in the same circumstances, he says, would likely still be imprisoned for espionage.[4]
