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.
1992 federal standoff in Idaho involving Randy Weaver, triggered by an allegation that Weaver had sold a shotgun with a barrel two inches shorter than the legal minimum; per John Kiriakou, FBI sniper Lon Horiuchi shot and killed Weaver's wife while she was holding her baby, and Horiuchi was never punished. Kiriakou describes Ruby Ridge as one of the events that, after his own imprisonment, caused him to fundamentally reassess his earlier acceptance of the official government account.
John Kiriakou described the Ruby Ridge incident as a case where the federal government killed a civilian woman for an offense that, even if proven, was minor: the sale of a shotgun whose barrel was two inches too short.[1]
FBI sniper Lon Horiuchi shot Vicki Weaver while she stood in the doorway of the family’s cabin holding her infant. She died. Horiuchi faced no criminal punishment for the killing. Kiriakou named Horiuchi explicitly and described the absence of accountability as characteristic of how federal law enforcement polices itself.[2]
Kiriakou stated that before going to prison he had generally accepted the government’s framing of incidents like Ruby Ridge. After his own experience with the FBI and the Justice Department, he said, he looked back at Ruby Ridge and Waco and concluded the official accounts could not be trusted.[3]
