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 earthwork Egypt built along its Gaza frontier more than a year before July 2025, which John Kiriakou describes as a defence not against Palestinians but against Israel — built because Cairo feared the border being thrown open from the other side, and because Egyptian troops would not fire on two million people.
The Egyptian berm is the earth barrier Egypt constructed along its frontier with the Gaza Strip, which John Kiriakou cites as evidence that Cairo anticipated an Israeli attempt to force the Palestinian population of Gaza into Sinai.
The pressure and the refusal
As the famine deepened in July 2025, Egypt came under what Kiriakou called “real pressure today to open the border”. Its answer was categorical: “They have said that they’re not opening the border under any circumstances.” The reason he gives is not indifference but complicity — “if they open the border, they will be complicit with the ethnic cleansing.”[1]
He states the resulting dilemma without resolving it: “Do you just let people starve, or do you jump in on the side of the Israelis in cleansing Gaza?”[2]
What the berm is for
Kiriakou’s reading of the barrier reverses the obvious assumption about which direction it faces. “The Egyptians aren’t stupid. That’s why they built that berm over a year ago,” he says — because “they’re worried that the Israelis will throw open the border and then, you know, they won’t be able to resist.”[2]
The constraint he identifies is on the Egyptian army rather than on Egyptian policy. Confronted with a mass movement of civilians pushed toward the crossing, Egyptian troops “aren’t going to want to and will not shoot two million people” — so the barrier does the work the soldiers would not do.[2]
