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.

South Caucasus realignment
From KiriPedia, the archive of John Kiriakou's on-record words
Based on 1 recorded interview · Last updated
John Kiriakou's reading of the post-election South Caucasus: Russia has lost Armenia, Georgia has split from Armenia and moved closer to Moscow, and Iran, contrary to the assumption that two Muslim neighbours would be natural partners, keeps far closer relations with Christian Armenia than with Azerbaijan.
The South Caucasus realignment is John Kiriakou’s assessment of the region following the 2026 Armenian election.
On Armenia he is blunt about the outcome regardless of who forms a government: “Russia has lost Armenia.”[1]
Azerbaijan he identifies as the complicating factor, “it’s Azerbaijan that’s the fly in the ointment”, and uses it to correct an intuitive but wrong assumption: “you would think that because Azerbaijan is Muslim and Iran is Muslim and they’re bordering each other and there’s even an Iranian state called Azerbaijan, you would think that everybody would be able to get along. And that’s exactly the opposite of what the truth is. The Azeris are a threat, a minor one, but a threat to Iran. And so the Iranians have far closer relations with the Armenians.”[2][3]
The third moving part is Georgia, which he says has broken from its usual tandem with Armenia: “the Georgians have kind of split off from the Armenians on this issue. And the Georgians are far closer to the Russians now than the Armenians are.” His characterisation of the whole: “we’re in this period of kind of like diplomatic chaos that we haven’t seen since the fall of the Soviet Union.” Asked where it started, he answers “it all started with US efforts to expand NATO.”[3][4]
He attaches the same diagnosis to Western strategy generally, agreeing that a neo-containment doctrine still drives foreign-policy and intelligence circles, “Absolutely. 100%.”, but noting a change in temperament: from roughly 1946 until 1990 the West was willing to take the long view, “and now the US and the West are not willing to take the long view. They want instant gratification, instant satisfaction. And the world has changed. They’re not going to get it.”[5][6]
