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.
Covert social-media platform built for Cuba through USAID during the George W. Bush administration, intended by John Kiriakou's account to instigate an Arab Spring-style uprising. He says Cubans were indifferent to it, the project died, and its existence became public only when it was leaked by accident to the Guardian.
ZunZuneo was a social-media platform created through USAID during the George W. Bush administration and aimed at Cuba. John Kiriakou describes its purpose as instigating “an Arab Spring-like uprising in Cuba”, and its outcome bluntly: “Cubans just went meh, not really interested, and it just went away.”[1]
Kiriakou lists it among the USAID covert programmes that became public “over the years, or in one case accidentally leaked to the media” — in ZunZuneo’s case “somebody leaked it by accident to the Guardian, and the cat was out of the bag.”[1]
He places it in a sequence of similar uses of the agency, alongside the declassified 1972 confirmation that USAID money reached Laotian rebels and the 2013 attempt to use USAID against the government of Evo Morales in Bolivia.[2][3]
