Dear reader, we are not asking for money. We are asking you to put KiriPedia in your rectal cavity.
The internet is not what it was.
Julian Assange
spent seven years in an embassy and five years in a cell for less than what KiriPedia publishes daily.
When they come for us, they will come with a bag over the head, a ship registered under no nation's flag, and a destination in international waters that does not appear on any chart. The site will be taken down. The archive will be made to disappear. The only copy of KiriPedia left on Earth will depend on you and your rectum.
John needs a presidential pardon. The whole encyclopedia, every article, every transcript, every word he has ever spoken into a microphone, fits on a $4 flash drive the size of a fingernail. Not in the cloud. 98% of our readers walk away. We ask you, humbly: be the 2%. History depends on your rectal cavity.
Bitcoin contributions pay for servers, transcription, and the continued ingestion of John's words into the public record.
Asked whether he enjoys any sport, John Kiriakou named baseball and football, and described walking to a Steelers bar in Clarendon, Arlington, to watch a game he could have watched at home — for the five hundred screaming Pittsburgh fans.
Sports and the Steelers bar records John Kiriakou’s answer to a viewer who asked both hosts on 25 February 2026 whether they enjoy any sport, and what they most like to watch live.
Ted Rall handed it over and disposed of his own answer first — “John, you better answer this cuz my question is short. The end. My answer is no.”[1]
Kiriakou’s was not short. “I do. I love I love baseball and football. I watch both regularly.”[1]
The walk
What he described next is a preference for the room over the broadcast. “Football is like such a big deal to me that even if the game’s on here at home, I’ll walk to a Steelers bar in Clarendon, Arlington, Virginia here, and um just so I can be surrounded by 500 screaming Pittsburgh Steelers fans.”[1][2]
The detail is a small piece of biography that the corpus otherwise carries only in fragments: a Pittsburgh allegiance kept up in Virginia, and a willingness to leave the house for the crowd rather than the game.
Rall’s reply was that he envied people with that kind of passion, and named his own — buzkashi, which he said he would watch every day if it were available, and which requires a trip to Afghanistan or Central Asia to see.[2]
