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 British policy of removing asylum seekers to Rwanda for resettlement, which John Kiriakou cited in 2023 as evidence that the United Kingdom belongs on the list of countries with entrenched right-wing governments — a policy he called right-wing extremist and probably illegal.
The Rwanda deportations are the British policy of removing asylum seekers to Rwanda for resettlement, which John Kiriakou used in July 2023 as his evidence for including the United Kingdom among Europe’s entrenched right-wing governments.
The classification
Having listed Poland and Hungary, Kiriakou added Britain with a qualifier — “in the UK, let’s be honest” — and then gave his reason. “When they’re scooping up refugees off the streets and then putting them on planes and sending them to Rwanda for resettlement, I mean that’s a right-wing extremist policy and it’s probably illegal.”[1]
His interviewer agreed that it probably was, and Kiriakou did not soften the assessment.[1]
Where it sits in his argument
The remark closes a sequence in which Kiriakou had walked through the European elections of 2023 — Italy’s prime minister, the polling of the French far right, and the Greek neo-Nazi seats, which he treated as the most disturbing of the three.[2]
His summary of the resulting political menu was that most of Western Europe now chooses between “a right-wing government, a far right-wing government, or an extreme right-wing government.”[3] Britain’s asylum policy was, in that frame, not an aberration but a data point.
