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.
The illness John Kiriakou calls the sickest he has ever been — typhoid fever caught in Bangkok in 2002, which he had assumed the inoculation would prevent, and which put him in hospital twice. The doctor's correction: the shot does not stop you catching typhoid, only makes it slightly less virulent when you do.
Typhoid fever in Bangkok is an episode John Kiriakou adds to a discussion of CIA inoculation practice, as the case that showed him what the injections did and did not buy.
The diagnosis
Kiriakou introduces it as an addendum to the shots story and rates it against everything else. “I caught typhoid fever in Bangkok in 2002. And it’s the sickest I’ve ever been in my life.”[1]
His first reaction to the diagnosis was to reject it on the strength of his own paperwork: “I said, ‘But I said it can’t be typhoid fever because I got the I got the shots. I got the typhoid shots.’”[1]
The correction
The doctor’s answer is the part Kiriakou repeats. “The typhoid shots don’t prevent you from getting typhoid fever. The typhoid shots make the typhoid fever slightly less virulent when you catch it.”[2]
The severity even so was considerable. “It was like the worst case of the flu I’ve ever had in my my I had to go to the hospital twice.”[2]
The episode sits directly against the gamma globulin shot, which Kiriakou describes as the routine that produced a lifetime of injections before overseas travel — and which, on this evidence, produced attenuation rather than immunity.
