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 finding Christmas so depressing since his two divorces that he does not decorate or mark it at all — and of the year he replaced it by taking his children to every station on the New York City subway system in a single day.
Kiriakou is unusually direct about disliking Christmas. He finds it very depressing, does not decorate, puts up no tree or ornaments, and pretends it is a normal day like any other, because otherwise he gets too depressed to function.[1] Asked whether he was always like that, he says he was not — Christmas was wonderful when he was a child — and attributes the change to being divorced twice.[1]
The substitute he found is characteristic. One year he told the children they would open their presents and then get on the subway and visit every single station on the New York City system. They did it in nine and a half hours, with one break where they came up at the zoo for lunch and then went back down to finish. He notes that the route takes a lot of planning because of the backtracking; a man written up in the New York Times had done it in what Kiriakou calls a record-fast twenty-five hours.[2][3]
