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.

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.
Self-declared breakaway state in the Horn of Africa that Israel became the only country in the world to recognize as independent, gaining a military base positioned roughly 30 seconds' flight time from Yemen; John Kiriakou, who visited Somaliland while posted with the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in Djibouti, describes it as a functioning city of about 100,000 unconnected to Mogadishu, al-Shabaab, or piracy.
Somaliland is a self-declared breakaway state in the Horn of Africa. John Kiriakou says Israel became the only country in the world to recognize it as independent, in exchange gaining a military base positioned about 30 seconds’ flight time from Yemen — allowing it to strike the Houthis.[1]
A personal visit from Djibouti
Kiriakou says he personally visited Somaliland while posted with the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in Djibouti. The U.S. ambassador to Djibouti invited him along on a drive to Somaliland with the defense attaché and chief of security; Kiriakou says he was surprised to find a genuinely functioning city of about 100,000 people with real infrastructure — a place with nothing to do with Mogadishu, al-Shabaab, or piracy, populated simply by people seeking international recognition.[2]
The ambassador’s private view
On the drive back to Djibouti, Kiriakou asked the ambassador what he thought of an independent Somaliland. The ambassador told him that, if it were up to him, he would recognize the territory — not as “Somaliland,” but as the legitimate government of Somalia itself, since Somalia had lacked any functioning government for decades. Kiriakou says the ambassador did not expect that recognition would ever actually happen.[3]
