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.
Souda Bay Vulnerability and Nasser on American Decisions
Two observations John Kiriakou has made on U.S. Mediterranean strategy and decision-making — a U.S. military contact's warning that Souda Bay in Crete, the nearest major port able to host a U.S. aircraft carrier like the USS Gerald Ford, is a possible vulnerability; and Kiriakou's favorite quote from Gamal Abdel Nasser, that Americans never make clear-cut stupid decisions, only complicated ones.
Souda Bay
John Kiriakou relays a concern raised to him by a U.S. military contact about Souda Bay in Crete, home to a major American naval presence and the nearest major port capable of accommodating a U.S. aircraft carrier such as the USS Gerald Ford. The contact told him, “we really need to be worried about Souda Bay in Crete,” and Kiriakou agrees the location deserves concern as a possible vulnerability.[1]
The Nasser quote
Asked about why U.S. agencies pursue policies seemingly contrary to American national interest, Kiriakou cites his favorite quote, from former Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser: “The thing about you Americans is you never make clear-cut stupid decisions. You only make complicated stupid decisions, which makes us wonder if there is something to them which we are missing.”[2]
