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 scholar of Islamic philosophy under whom John Kiriakou studied Shiism as an undergraduate. Kiriakou calls him probably the most important Shia Muslim scholar in the world, notes that he is the father of Vali Nasr, and remarks that at ninety-eight he is still teaching.
Seyyed Hossein Nasr is the scholar of Shia Islam under whom John Kiriakou studied as an undergraduate.
Kiriakou describes his minor in Islamic theology as something he is “actually quite proud of”, and says he studied mostly Shiism, “which I find fascinating.” He then names his teacher: “in fact, it wasn’t just Shiism. I studied under under Seyyed Hossein Nasr, who’s the the father of Vali Nasr, and probably the most important Shia Muslim scholar in the world. He’s 98 years old now. Um and believe it or not, he’s still teaching. It’s crazy.”[1]
The Islamic theology sat alongside other religious study: Kiriakou says he also studied Judaism under Dr Paul Jones at George Washington University.[1] His own faith he keeps separate from the scholarship — a practising Greek Orthodox who keeps a card of St Nectarios of Aegina beside him, but “one of those people who sort of keeps it to myself. Um if people want to believe, go for it. If they don’t want to believe, I’m perfectly fine with that, too. None of my business.”[2]
