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.
On the first day of the 2026 war, reports placed one of the targets in Tehran at Narmak, believed to be the residence of former Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. John Kiriakou broke into the broadcast to call it gratuitous and an act of murder: Ahmadinejad is retired, holds no authority, and — in Kiriakou's description — was a moderate.
The strike on Ahmadinejad’s house was reported mid-broadcast on 28 February 2026, and John Kiriakou interrupted the show to address it — “Ted, may I add one thing? … this also just in from Al Jazeera.”[1]
The report placed one of the targeted sites in Tehran at Narmak, in the east of the city, “believed to be the residence of former populist president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.”[1][2]
Why he singled it out
Kiriakou’s objection rests on Ahmadinejad holding nothing that could be described as a war aim. “Now, listen. He’s the former president. He’s not in any position of authority. He’s retired.”[2]
He then added a characterisation that runs against the man’s Western reputation, and against Ahmadinejad’s own record in office: “He was a moderate, too.”[2]
The verdict follows without qualification. “Targeting him is simply an act of murder.” Pressed, he repeated the word twice: “It’s gratuitous. It’s gratuitous.”[2]
The comparison
To make the category clear he moved the case to a war he knows better: “It would be like going to war against Afghanistan and and killing Hamid Karzai” — who, he noted, is still living in Kabul.[2]
The point of the analogy is that a retired head of state in his own house is not a military target under any reading, and that striking one is therefore not a proportionality question but a killing without a purpose attached.
