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.
The late-November 2001 prisoner uprising at a fortress in northern Afghanistan during which CIA officer Mike Spann was killed; the event during which the American al-Qaeda figure John Walker Lindh was captured; among the first major firefights of the post-9/11 Afghan campaign.
The Qala-i-Jangi uprising was a prisoner revolt at the Qala-i-Jangi fortress in northern Afghanistan in late November 2001, during which Taliban and al-Qaeda prisoners — who had been captured by the Northern Alliance — overwhelmed their CIA and military interrogators. Central Intelligence Agency officer Mike Spann was killed in the uprising, becoming the first American killed in combat in Afghanistan after the September 11 attacks. The American al-Qaeda figure John Walker Lindh had just been captured at the same site and was present at the start of the uprising.[1][2][3]
Why the date mattered to a Senate investigation
When Kiriakou tried to establish whether CIA officers had been present at the loading of the containers at Dasht-i-Leili, the uprising gave him his one certainty about American presence. “I know CIA officers were present 20 miles away, because the box-up was the same day as the uprising at Qala-i-Jangi.”[4]
What he could not establish was the twenty miles in between — whether the two English-speaking men in blue jeans described by a witness at the container site were agency officers.[5][4]
