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.

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.
Days before the 2026 war, John Kiriakou raised the possibility that a sewage failure severe enough to send the carrier USS Gerald R. Ford back to Norfolk was sabotage by a crew that did not want to go to war with Iran.
The USS Gerald Ford plumbing failure came to John Kiriakou twice — first as a news item, then as a viewer’s allegation — two days before the United States attacked Iran.
The viewer’s version was specific: that sailors were putting their clothes into the toilets to back them up, so that the ship would have to leave station rather than wait for war with Iran.[1]
Kiriakou had already seen the underlying report. “There was a piece on Fox, I think it was, day before yesterday about the USS Gerald Ford having such a significant plumbing problem where there’s human [waste] like up to your ankles, literally. That the only thing they can do to take care of it is to turn around and go back to Norfolk.”[1][2]
The suspicion
What he added was that the viewer’s reading had occurred to him independently. “And I wondered when when this came out 2 days ago if it was sabotage.”[2]
Neither host produced evidence, and both left it where it stood — “Sabotage. It sounds like it. Sure seems like it.”[2] The corpus records the suspicion as a suspicion; no later confirmation appears in the source material.
The episode matters mainly for what it says about Kiriakou’s reading of the pre-war mood: he treated deliberate crew action to avoid an Iran deployment as plausible enough to raise unprompted, in the same broadcast in which he judged that the American military’s own preference was to keep waiting until more assets were in place.
