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.
Donald Trump's statement that the Iranian nuclear programme had been "obliterated", and John Kiriakou's reading of it. Kiriakou offers three possibilities — the president lied, was tricked, or did not understand what had been achieved — and notes the claim's incompatibility with the later justification that Iran was days away from a weapon.
The obliteration claim is Donald Trump’s statement, made the year before the 2026 Iran war, that the entire Iranian nuclear programme had been destroyed. “That was his word, obliterated,”John Kiriakou notes.[1]
Kiriakou reduces the claim to three possibilities: “either he lied, he was tricked, or he’s too stupid to know that he wasn’t able to obliterate it.”[1] The reason the claim matters is that it does not survive contact with the justification later given for the war itself — that Iran was days away from producing a nuclear weapon.[1] If the programme had been obliterated, there was nothing left to be days away from.
He places that justification in a longer sequence: a video circulated during the war compiling every occasion on which Benjamin Netanyahu had told the United States Congress that Iran was six months from a bomb.[2] Kiriakou’s assessment of the public response is that the pattern had finally become visible — “Americans are now coming to realization of this. We’re aware of these lies.”[2]
