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.
Former U.S. Representative from California who served as ranking member and later chair of the House Intelligence Committee. Per John Kiriakou, Harman was present in the room when congressional leadership was briefed on the CIA's enhanced interrogation program; when reporters later asked her about the program, she denied knowing about it. Kiriakou told the New York Times she had been in the room, after which Harman revised her account to say she had left early and that an aide remained as a notetaker.
John Kiriakou described the congressional briefings on the CIA’s enhanced interrogation program as a deliberate effort to give key lawmakers advance knowledge — and thereby political cover for the agency. Among those briefed was Jane Harman, then the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee.[1] Kiriakou says Harman — whom he describes as a progressive Democrat from Venice, California — chaired the House Intelligence Committee for much of the torture program’s duration, and that despite the oversight committees being fully informed the programs were illegal, immoral, and unethical, not a single member objected, Harman included.[2]
When journalists subsequently asked Harman whether she had known about the torture program, she denied it. Kiriakou told the New York Times that Harman had been in the room during the briefing. Faced with that account, Harman changed her statement: she acknowledged attending the briefing but claimed she had left before it concluded, leaving an aide to take notes in her absence.[3]
Kiriakou presented this sequence as illustrative of the broader pattern in which members of Congress were read into programs and then disclaimed knowledge of them when those programs became politically toxic.[4]
