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 position on where al-Qaeda came from: bad American foreign policy decisions led to it indirectly, but not by design. He rejects the deliberate-creation theory on the grounds that it is unnecessary — a state willing to kill does not need to manufacture a pretext first.
The origins of al-Qaeda are a question John Kiriakou answers in two halves: American responsibility yes, American intent no.
Asked directly whether the organization was created by Western intelligence, he gave the concession first: “Bad US foreign policy decisions indirectly led to the creation of al-Qaeda.”[1]
The rejection followed in the same breath, and it is the image rather than the argument he objects to: “But no — a bunch of white guys sitting in a room saying, ‘Hey, let’s create a terrorist organization so we can attack ourselves and give ourselves a reason to attack Muslims.’ No.”[1][2]
His reasoning is that the pretext is superfluous. “We don’t need a provocation. If we want to kill people, we just go out and kill them. We don’t have to kill ourselves first and say, ‘Oh my god, we’ve been attacked, we need to go kill Muslims now.’ … I don’t want to be cynical, but no — if we want to kill people, we’re just going to go out and kill them.”[2][3]
Elsewhere he attributes the founding itself to Osama bin Laden, and dates it after the anti-Soviet war rather than during it — the men who fought the Soviets in Afghanistan, he notes, fought as mujahideen, not as al-Qaeda.[4]
