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 Myanmar as the only country in the world continuously at war without a single day of peace since World War II, its Buddhist-majority persecution of Muslims, Christians, and Hindus, his view that Aung San Suu Kyi should have her Nobel Peace Prize stripped, and his argument that the world ignores the country's atrocities because it has gems rather than oil.
John Kiriakou says his friend Bruce Fein, who represents the Karen people of Myanmar, taught him that Myanmar is the only country in the world that has been continuously at war without a single day of peace since World War II.[1][2] He argues the U.S. does not intervene because Myanmar lacks oil and strategic value, despite the country’s rich ruby, emerald, and diamond deposits.[2]
Aung San Suu Kyi and religious persecution
Kiriakou calls Aung San Suu Kyi — Myanmar’s Nobel Peace Prize laureate — a “fraud” who should have the prize stripped from her, characterizing the country’s Buddhist majority as fundamentalists who kill, bomb, imprison, and starve the country’s Muslim, Christian, and Hindu minorities.[3]
Gems, not oil
Kiriakou argues the world ignores Myanmar’s atrocities because the country has no oil — despite possessing some of the highest-quality rubies, sapphires, and emeralds in the world, on display at the Smithsonian Institution. He contrasts this with a remark from a Kuwaiti who told him, shortly after the 1991 Gulf War, that the U.S. only liberated Kuwait because it had oil: “If we had gravel, you would never be here.”[4]
