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.
1993 federal operation against the Branch Davidian compound near Waco, Texas, led by David Koresh, resulting in the deaths of more than twenty-seven people — more than half of them children. Per John Kiriakou, a CIA colleague's reaction upon hearing the news was 'It's about time.' Kiriakou describes this as the kind of response he once might have shared, but which his later experiences with government abuse of power caused him to revisit.
John Kiriakou recounted that when the Waco siege ended in 1993, a CIA colleague responded to the news by saying “It’s about time.” Kiriakou said he remembered thinking something similar — accepting without examination the government’s characterization of the Branch Davidians as dangerous extremists who had brought the outcome on themselves.[1]
After his own imprisonment and experience of what he described as government fabrication, Kiriakou said he reconsidered both Waco and Ruby Ridge. More than twenty-seven people died at Waco; Kiriakou emphasized that more than half were children. He described his changed view as: once you have personally experienced government dishonesty, you can no longer accept official accounts of events like these on faith.[2]
