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 New York Police Department position — deputy commissioner for intelligence — that John Kiriakou says traditionally goes to someone coming out of the CIA, and which he uses to explain why the agency is indifferent to who wins a New York mayoral election so long as the post and its liaison with the joint terrorism task force survive.
The NYPD intelligence post is the standing arrangement John Kiriakou points to when rejecting the suggestion that the CIA involves itself in New York City politics.
The question and the denial
A viewer asked whether the agency, notorious in his framing for putting people into power, had a hand in a New York mayoral victory, and what the objective of a Muslim mayor in New York or London would be. Kiriakou’s answer was one word and then a flat restatement: “No. It’s that’s just not something that the CIA is involved in. No.”[1]
The post
What he offered instead was the mechanism by which the agency’s actual interest in the city is secured. “you know the CIA there’s a position in the in the NYPD. It’s deputy deputy police commissioner for intelligence. And that traditionally goes to a person coming out of the CIA. Right, the first one was Dave Cohen. He was the the deputy director of the CIA for operations. He retired, he became deputy commissioner for intelligence.”[2]
The conclusion follows from the arrangement rather than from any assessment of a candidate: “So the CIA likes things just the way they are. It doesn’t matter who happens to be the mayor so long as they get their position and can liaise with the joint terrorism task force. That’s all they care about.”[2]
Where the indifference ends
Kiriakou does not extend that indifference to the presidency. Asked in the same exchange whether the agency would serve a left-wing president as dutifully, he gave a divided answer — recorded at the CIA under a left-wing president — in which most of the agency would carry on as normal while elements of the directorate of operations would actively seek the president’s removal.[3]
