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

Kharg Island
From KiriPedia, the archive of John Kiriakou's on-record words
Based on 1 recorded interview · Last updated
The island where most of Iran's oil is refined, and in John Kiriakou's assessment a standing target whose destruction would be a crisis for world oil prices. It was bombed in the 1980s, causing a global price shock; Kiriakou considers a repeat by the United States or Israel possible, and expects the Iranians to answer it rather than absorb it.
Kharg Island is, in John Kiriakou’s description, “where most of Iran’s oil is refined.” Asked in January 2026 about the theory that a strike on it would destroy the world’s oil economy, he treated the precedent as settled: it “was bombed in the 1980s. It caused a global oil price shock.”[1]
On whether it happens again he is conditional rather than predictive. It is “possible that the West, meaning the United States and/or Israel, could bomb it again.”[1]
What he will not accept is the premise that Iran would simply absorb the loss. “If that were to happen, I think the Iranians, having learned their lesson in earlier decades, would come out swinging — and it would just be a crisis for oil prices.”[2]
The assessment sits alongside his reading of the same month’s naval movements, which led him to conclude that no American strike on Iran was then possible at all.[3]
