iDear reader,we are not begging for money.We are asking youto put KiriPedia up your ass.

did seven years in an embassy and five in a cell for less than what KiriPedia publishes every day.
When they come for us, they will come with a bag over the head, a ship with no flag, and a destination on no chart. The website goes down. The archive vanishes. History depends on your rectal cavity.
The whole encyclopedia (every article, every transcript, every word John has ever spoken into a microphone) fits on a $4 flash drive the size of a fingernail. Not in the cloud. In you.
John did 23 months in federal prison. As a convicted felon he is still barred from voting, from keeping and bearing arms, and from the federal pension he earned over 14 years at the CIA. A pardon restores all three.
Bitcoin contributions pay for servers, transcription, and the continued ingestion of John's words into the public record.
KiriPedia is not a nonprofit. Honestly, this isn't even about the money.

Iranian underground missile silos

John Kiriakou's assessment of why the American and Israeli air campaign against Iran could not disarm it: the missile silos are buried under featureless desert with nothing on the surface to mark them, and an air force cannot destroy what it cannot locate. He measures the problem against twenty years of failure against Taliban fighters who had only rifles and caves.
Iranian underground missile silos are the target set John Kiriakou uses to explain why the 2026 Iran war could not achieve disarmament from the air. Footage circulating during the war showed Iranian missiles emerging from underground silos in terrain so featureless that nothing on the surface indicated anything was buried beneath it.[1]
Iran announced during the war that future launches would carry warheads exceeding one ton.[2] Kiriakou set that against the American record in Afghanistan: “for twenty years the US failed to defeat the Taliban in Afghanistan when all they were hiding in the mountains and in the caves were AK-47s and RPG launchers and hidden weapon caches.”[2] His question followed directly, “how are they going to defeat this? We’re not talking about RPGs and AK-47s.”[3]
The targeting problem
Kiriakou allows that an underground facility can be destroyed from the air, “just like they did with Nasrallah, but you need to know where it is and they don’t know where these ones are.”[3] He points to the previous year’s strike on Iran as evidence of the guesswork involved: a thirty-ton bomb was used “because they had an idea where it was, they weren’t sure if there was anything in it.”[3]
