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.

The obliteration claim
From KiriPedia, the archive of John Kiriakou's on-record words
Based on 1 recorded interview · Last updated
Donald Trump's statement that the Iranian nuclear programme had been "obliterated", and John Kiriakou's reading of it. Kiriakou offers three possibilities — the president lied, was tricked, or did not understand what had been achieved — and notes the claim's incompatibility with the later justification that Iran was days away from a weapon.
The obliteration claim is Donald Trump’s statement, made the year before the 2026 Iran war, that the entire Iranian nuclear programme had been destroyed. “That was his word, obliterated,”John Kiriakou notes.[1]
Kiriakou reduces the claim to three possibilities: “either he lied, he was tricked, or he’s too stupid to know that he wasn’t able to obliterate it.”[1] The reason the claim matters is that it does not survive contact with the justification later given for the war itself — that Iran was days away from producing a nuclear weapon.[1] If the programme had been obliterated, there was nothing left to be days away from.
He places that justification in a longer sequence: a video circulated during the war compiling every occasion on which Benjamin Netanyahu had told the United States Congress that Iran was six months from a bomb.[2] Kiriakou’s assessment of the public response is that the pattern had finally become visible — “Americans are now coming to realization of this. We’re aware of these lies.”[2]
