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 observation that some presidents actively lead the CIA while others are led around by it — citing George H.W. Bush's ongoing "love affair" with the agency after his 11-month stint as director, and Richard Nixon's close relationship with the CIA, which Kiriakou says was one of the things that brought down his presidency.
Presidents and the CIA is John Kiriakou’s framing of how different U.S. presidents have related to the agency — some commanding it, others, in his view, led around by it.[1]
George H.W. Bush, who had served as CIA director for only 11 months before becoming president, maintained what Kiriakou calls an ongoing love affair with the agency: he would visit CIA headquarters simply to walk the halls, and staff would spontaneously break into applause at word that “President Bush is walking the halls.”[1] Kiriakou says Richard Nixon likewise had a close relationship with the CIA — one that Kiriakou identifies as one of the factors that brought down his presidency.[2]
