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 Assistant Secretary of State, Assistant Secretary of Defense, and senior director of the National Security Council; author of the law John Kiriakou was convicted of violating (the Intelligence Identities Protection Act); wrote to President Obama stating that this is not why he wrote the law and that Kiriakou should be pardoned.
Morton H. Halperin is a former Assistant Secretary of State, Assistant Secretary of Defense, and senior director of the National Security Council. Per John Kiriakou, Halperin authored the statute under which Kiriakou was convicted — the Intelligence Identities Protection Act.[1]
After Kiriakou’s conviction, Halperin wrote to President Obama stating that “this is not why he wrote the law and that I should be” pardoned. The pardon was not granted under the Obama administration.[1]
Kiriakou separately identifies Halperin as having famously appeared on Richard Nixon’s enemies list and as having headed the ACLU in the early 1980s, when he co-wrote the Intelligence Identities Protection Act specifically to protect civil liberties. When Kiriakou was arrested and charged, Halperin called his attorneys and volunteered, unpaid, to testify on his behalf, saying the prosecution was not why the law had been written — that it was, in Kiriakou’s words, “a political case.”[2]
