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 east Mediterranean gas partnership

John Kiriakou's explanation for why the Greek government is solidly pro-Israel while the Greek public is solidly anti-Israel: Cyprus sits on an ocean of natural gas, and the Greeks, Cypriots, Israelis and, to a lesser extent, Egyptians lift it together and share the money. The arrangement drives Turkey to distraction, and in his reading puts Greek–Turkish relations on track to get worse.
The east Mediterranean gas partnership is John Kiriakou’s explanation, given during the 2026 Iran war, for a divergence he treats as otherwise inexplicable: that the Greek public and the Greek government hold opposite positions on Israel.
Asked by a viewer whether Greek–Turkish tension would grow beyond its existing level, he said it would, and began with Turkey’s standing in the war: “The Turks are probably the most militarily powerful country standing in opposition to Israel. And the Greek government couldn’t get any more pro-Israel.”[1]
The divergence
Kiriakou treats the split as one of the odder facts about his ancestral country. “The funny thing in Greece the the Greek people are solidly anti-Israel because they’re pro-Palestinian. But the Greek government is solidly pro-Israel because Cyprus is sitting on an ocean of natural gas.”[1][2]
The mechanism is a shared commercial interest rather than a shared politics: “the Greeks, the Cypriots, the Israelis, to a lesser extent the Egyptians, are lifting the gas together and sharing the money from it.”[2]
Who is left out
The consequence he draws is about the country not in the consortium. The arrangement is “driving the Turks crazy, but it’s made the situation where as bad as things are between Greece and Turkey, they’re sort of on track to get worse.”[2] He added that the war in Iran “doesn’t help anything at all.”[3]
The reading joins two of his standing positions: that Greek governments align with Israel for reasons the Greek electorate does not share, and that Turkey and Israel, once close, are now the region’s next confrontation waiting to happen. The gas is what makes the alignment durable enough to survive public opposition to it.[2]
