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.

The Republican split over the Iran war
From KiriPedia, the archive of John Kiriakou's on-record words
Based on 1 recorded interview · Last updated
John Kiriakou's account of the division inside the Republican Party over the 2026 war with Iran — between the voters who backed Donald Trump as the no-foreign-wars candidate and an administration Kiriakou says has reverted to the neoconservative posture of John McCain's party, with Tulsi Gabbard and J.D. Vance on one side and Marco Rubio on the other.
John Kiriakou’s assessment of the 2026 war with Iran, delivered on a British panel programme a month into the campaign, was that Donald Trump had made “a disastrous miscalculation. Where do we even begin?” The consequence he identified was domestic: “there’s a very significant split right now within the Republican Party here in the United States.”[1]
The broken expectation
The split, in his account, runs between the administration and the voters who elected it. “There were a lot of Republican voters who voted for Donald Trump because they believed that he really was the no-foreign-wars president.”[2]
Kiriakou grounds that expectation in a specific moment: “You might recall February 14th, Valentine’s Day 2016, during a Republican debate in which Donald Trump called George W. Bush a war criminal for getting the United States involved in the war in Iraq.” Against that record he sets the position a decade later: “and now all of a sudden, it’s as though it’s John McCain’s neoconservative Republican Party again.”[2]
The two wings inside the administration
Kiriakou describes the incoherence as staffed rather than merely rhetorical. Trump “surrounded himself with some people like Tulsi Gabbard, for example, and J.D. Vance, who reportedly have been opposed to these foreign interventions — but then others like Marco Rubio, who is sort of the successor to the John McCain wing of that party.” The result: “the party and the president himself don’t know which direction to go.”[3]
