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.

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.
Spain's victory over Argentina in a final John Kiriakou described as dirty on the losers' part and notable for a red card, and the awkwardness that followed: Donald Trump, who had exerted considerable influence over FIFA and whose country was hosting, had to present the trophy to a nation whose leadership he had spent weeks publicly attacking. The Spanish press cropped him out of the celebration photographs.
The 2026 World Cup final was won by Spain, and John Kiriakou discussed it the following day — both the match and the diplomacy around the trophy.
The match
Spain won “in something of a dirty game,” and Kiriakou is careful about where he places the blame: not on the Spaniards but on the Argentines whom they defeated. There was even a red card, which he notes is a big deal.[1]
The presentation
Donald Trump — a football fan, and by Kiriakou’s account someone who had exerted a lot of influence over FIFA — was present to hand the trophy to the winners.[2]
Kiriakou calls the moment a little bit awkward. The United States was the host, and the presentation came after weeks of Trump arguing publicly with Spain’s leadership. Spain had some fun with it: the Spanish media cropped him out of all of the celebration photographs, which Kiriakou found funny.[3]
The reading of Trump
Asked afterwards whether there was tension between him and Spain, Trump said he had spoken to Spain, congratulated them on a great team, and had no tension with anybody.[4]
Kiriakou, who says he met Trump once briefly and has watched him for many years, takes the answer at face value in a specific sense. So much of what Trump does in public is show — showmanship — and when he says there is no tension with Spain, Kiriakou thinks he genuinely believes it. The Spanish may disagree; Trump treats it all as part of the game of politics, with no hard feelings.[4]
