What became of his wife and children? He spoke of them in the beginning of his dispatches but then stopped mentioning them. I never understood why he didn't leave. take his family and get out. I just didn't understand it. It seemed suicidal.

This is deeply deeply awful ... all the Biden administration had to do was make a phone call to get an American citizen out of that hell. It's beyond disgraceful: Biden should be prosecuted as a murderer and traitor.

Absolutely horrific!! Just the other day, I watched a Duran interview w/Gonzalo's father. It did not sound good. I feared he was being tortured. Gonzalo was truly brave to stay in Ukraine and report the truth about what was going on--he knew it was a gangster state, and that Zelensky was the puppet of Jewish oligarch Kolomoisky, who basically operated like a gangster.

RIP Gonzalo!!

He knew they could disappear him:

Brian Berletic of the New Atlas, 1/12/2024:

Gonzalo Lira reported dead in Ukrainian prison from prolonged, untreated illness.

Those in the West who smeared him, or cast doubt on his story and encouraged people to ignore his plight are as complicit in his death as the Ukrainian administration who wrongfully imprisoned him and Ukraine's Western sponsors who knew he was wrongfully imprisoned and did nothing to release him including the US of which he was a citizen.

This isn't "infotainment." This is real. Standing up to the worst people on Earth has consequences.

It was Gonzalo Lira today, it can be any one of us tomorrow.

Thoughts and prayers to Gonzalo's family, including his young children who will grow up now, knowing Gonzalo only by watching him in videos speak up couragously against the worst people on Earth.

Very disturbing and upsetting to hear of his horrible, unnecessary and merciless death.

The extent of evil all round is monumental now.

Dear Parents,

The world hears your pain and shock and grieves with you.

I was on Telegram on Robin Monotti and Cory Morningstar channel and they were featuring a piece on Gonzalo and posted this excellent interview:

I was halfway listening to it when a post rolled in from another channel that he had passed. I am so saddened by this!

I truly hope Scott Ritter and his ilk bear some responsibility for what has happened to Gonzalo. They should hang their heads in deep shame and remorse.

My heart breaks for the Lira family 💔

it is so antithetical to me to put a 'like', as a 'heart' on this post when my heart is breaking at the news that gonzalo lira has died so horribly in the unkranian prison. meanwhile people on 'nextdoor' are posting shaming tattles on people's dogs pooping on their property when there is so much real s*it going on in the 'neighborhood' of planet earth. to the spirit of gonzalo, "thank you for your bravery and dedication to real journalism. please never feel you have died in vain. at least now you are free. much love and consolation to your family.

None of this is by accident. The State does not want freelance or honest reporting by anyone anywhere. He was punished by the US for not sticking to the script. It will only get worse. We are now fully corrupted as a country, and Ukraine is just another symptom of it.

Celia, I mean offense what so ever! The way the system is setup is to keep you going down rabbit holes with a never ending supply of rabbits. I not saying that all these little conspiracies are not important, they are! But they are designed to distract you from the bigger picture, and the big picture is the most important one. I don't see that you will ever have time to research what I'm trying to convey, and I'm not going to waist a lot of time on it! Peace and blessings.

Hi Celia, Gonzalo's problem is he went to the Julian Assange School of Journalism, and official propaganda mouthpieces aren't super keen about that.

People probably called you suicidal as well for pursuing your "Does HIV really caused AIDS" line of reporting. You were at high-risk of your battleship hitting the Duesberg with your investigations into the whole super-billion dollar AIDS disaster. Celia, look, you ARE Gonzalo Lira. You looked down the barrel of a multi-billion dollar scam. Guess what? Gonzo looked down the barrel of a multi-billion dollar scam. Please don't ever call him suicidal again. In this age of soy-boys afraid of their shadows, he stood out as the rarest of the rare. Someone who was in arena and called it as he saw it, despite the price. Sounds like someone I know....

I wrote about him in this Substack post:

I thank God for courageous souls like Gonzalo Lira. Shame on the lying, cheating, stealing cabal that controls, manipulates and harvests us - and shame on all of us for letting it continue.

My heart breaks from this news; however, this is not an isolated instance in an isolate state. This is the way of the free world. Let us condemn this instance but never forget Assange is dying in a UK prison, Snowden is exiled (running for his life), journalists are killed and targeted by Israel (not just the most recent, Dahdouh case), false charges of insurrection are used to imprison opposition support, the legal system is used as a tool for thwarting political processes. This is just a small sample of what our democracies look like today.

So mourn now, for that is an important human ritual, but, we must not let the pain from this instance bury the fact this is a process of journalistic persecution, that, is on going and others are dying. Their crime was trying to show us the wizards behind the curtains manipulating the murderous machines of state and churns out lies that we are force fed by the multitudes of bought and paid for presstitutes.

If I had a wish, based on this horrendous instance, it would be please do not allow us to memory hole the sacrifices of truth tellers once the pain from this instance subsides.

If we let it slide, the emboldened tyrants will double down. The next will be total control of speech for everyone who dares to disagree. This is already well on the way. The gulags are up and running for all of us, in the lands of the free.
