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.
John Kiriakou's explanation of why an isolated state escalates rather than moderates: it stops caring what anyone else thinks, concludes it can count on no one, and does things its own way. He applies it to Israel's 2026 death penalty law and judges the law a serious mistake in Zionism's own terms.
The logic of radicalization is John Kiriakou’s account of why states become more extreme as their position worsens, offered when he was asked whether the Knesset death penalty law was a sign that Israel’s government was losing power — on the analogy of the Nazis accelerating mass killing as they neared defeat.
He allowed that this was part of it, and then gave a second mechanism: “when a country is going down the toilet and they just stop caring what everyone else thinks. They’re so isolated. They have their heads so far up their own asses and they think, we’re all alone. We can’t count on anyone. We have to do things our way. It’s the logic of radicalization.”[1][2]
A mistake in its own terms
Kiriakou’s judgement of the law is strategic rather than only moral. “I think it’s a huge mistake from a Zionist point of view,” he said. “The Zionists’ biggest problem is that they’re perceived as being cruel maniacs. This isn’t going to help.”[2]
His co-host’s summary — that the law would simply anger people — he accepted without qualification.[2]
