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 Pars and the North Dome

The gas field beneath the Persian Gulf that Iran and Qatar share, and John Kiriakou's explanation of why the Israeli strike on the Iranian third was not an accident: hit one and you hit the other automatically, and Israel had reason to want Qatar hit.
South Pars and the North Dome are the two names for a single gas field beneath the Persian Gulf, and the subject of John Kiriakou’s explanation of one of the sharpest disagreements between Washington and Israel during the 2026 Iran war.
The naming is the whole point. “We call it South Pars. Only a third of it is called South Pars. The southern two thirds are called the North Dome. And they’re in Qatari waters.”[1] The consequence follows directly: “if you’re going to hit one, the other one gets hit, too, kind of automatically. And it just leads from one problem to another problem. And the Qataris are like, ‘What are you guys doing?’”[2]
Not an accident
Kiriakou identifies the strike as one of the few things Israel did that the Americans had not wanted done, his estimate of the daylight between the two governments in the war being “only a little bit,” with this as one of the exceptions.[1]
He does not accept that it was a mistake. Israel resents Qatar because “the Qataris are pro-Hamas,” so “they’re happy to bomb the gas field and then say, ‘Oh, sorry. You know what? We didn’t realize that the Americans didn’t want us to bomb that. Sorry.’”Trump’s public account, that they bombed it, he told them to stop, and they stopped, Kiriakou rejects outright: “No, they knew exactly what they were doing.”[2][3]
Asked later whether Trump’s public finger-pointing at Israel meant the relationship was fracturing, he said it did not: “I think there are always disagreements in times of war, and I think Trump is probably getting a little sick and tired of Netanyahu pushing all the blame onto him.”[4]
