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 Washington Post reporter who, in John Kiriakou's account of the Gary Webb affair, took the CIA's side of the cocaine story and put it on the paper's front page — wrong, and Kiriakou believes knowingly so.
Walter Pincus appears in John Kiriakou’s account of the destruction of Gary Webb as the specific mechanism by which the CIA’s denial reached print.
Describing how the Washington Post and the New York Times responded to Dark Alliance, Kiriakou says the two papers “essentially said on their front pages that Gary Webb had made the entire story up”, and names the reporter: “Walter pinkus an esteemed reporter for the Washington Post got the side of the CIA and put that on the very front page of the Washington Post saying that none of this was true this was just an anti- CIA uh tie raade and that nobody should pay any attention to it.”[1]
His judgement follows immediately, and distinguishes error from complicity: “well Pinkus was wrong Pinkus probably knew he was wrong but published anyway the bottom line here is that both the Washington Post and the New York Times leapt as quickly as they could to the defense of the CIA.”[2]
