Now I wonder how they will live with themselves.
Andrei
Update: Let’s be clear and stop passing on rumors.
This from Scott Ritter:
A point of clarification—I have no direct evidence that Gonzalo has been killed. I was clear I was referring to “reports emerging” about his demise. But Gonzo said any disappearance of more than 12 hours should be treated as if something bad had happened to him. It’s been five days. If this had been a New York Times reporter disappearing in Russian controlled territory, it would be headline news—especially if a Chechen “hunter killer” team had taken credit for his death. But with Gonzo—silence. Which was the whole purpose of the post: to raise awareness about his disappearance.
gonzalo lira has been warned. He challenged cocaine-using, Satan-worshipping Nazis. When you deal with Satanists, you must always be on the back foot. The planet is a millimeter away from finishing, because of these US-sponsored psychopaths.
RIP………hats off for all values he stood for. He will not be forgotten…….My thoughts are with bereaved family and all who wished him well.

( other sources may be confirming this: But we must wait to see if this is 100% correct please everyone. Mod.)
💗Gonzalo LIVES!🎉
Arrested, stripped of all tech, but just now interviewed by Alex Christoforou (The Duran). Highly “dyscombobulated”, rambling a bit, highly thankful!
He wants us to search as intensely for those others on his “disappeared” list!

Daily Beast is U.S. intelligence. Anyone who is Alt-Right in the U.S. knows this because they have done intelligence work on doxxing our guys in the past.
Here’s to hoping Lira either slipped away, or his phone is broken or jammed. Whatever his faults, he had the balls to speak the truth from behind enemy lines and if this is it for him, that is how he should be remembered.
TDB is a horrible site. The vitriol they spew is abominable. If there ever was a more boot licking servile piece of digital trash they’d be at the top of the list.
Yep, he should be remembered for his brave telling of truth in such a dangerous position . Still hoping and praying he has just had to go quiet to remain undetected.
Sadly I think the Beast is proud of themselves. It shows the master they serve.
That is the function of the corporate media in the United States today. If the US government can’t get to ordinary citizens who hold contrary opinions using the FBI or the legal system, the alternative is to sic the corporate media on them and dox them. Glen Greenwald just did a serious (ignore the video title, it is about much more than that) piece on this on Rumble, with numerous examples of The Daily Beast going after ordinary citizens for “wrong think”:
Taylor Lorenz’s Doxxing of @LibsOfTikTok Reveals Who Corporate Journalists See as Their Targets
https://rumble.com/v11n4sn-taylor-lorenzs-doxxing-of-libsoftiktok-reveals-who-corporate-journalists-se.html
It is an amazing transformation, at one time US journalism was about exposing things like Watergate, The Pentagon Papers and the NSA spying on Americans, but now it is about using all of their vast resources and investigative powers to go after grandmothers and forklift operators running Facebook and Twitter accounts.
And now The Daily Beast may finally have blood on its hands for going after Gonzalo Lira.
That was half a century ago. Even then Operation Mockingbird had some part of the presstitutes under the pindo government’s claws. For decades there were/still are some journalists with a backbone, but they are an endangered species. With the concentration of essentially all MSM under a few thumbs, the self-preservation instinct kicks in, and practically all presstitutes sing the same corporate song.
There is no such thing as a “corporate journalist” . The proper term is corporate propagandists
this comment has been flagged as of little/no value (possibly troll) by the saker
I feel for his family, but lets take a look at the self-destructive acts that led to this…
1. He was a foreign citizen residing in a foreign country at sufference of that country’s ruling regime.
2. He flew to Kiev the day of a foreign invasion and posted a series of provacative videos on YouTube that demeaned and ridiculed the ruling regime’s supporting forces and praised the invaders.
3. He returned to Kharkiv as a foreign army was manuevering nearby and posted an escalating series of provactive videos on YouTube that demeaned, ridiculed and villified the ruling regime, praised the invaders and gave geo-location information on the course of the war.
4. He sought out other like-minded and neutral individuals in an attempt to increase the exposure of his anti-regime, pro-invader views.
5. He geo-located his presence in Kharkiv and set forth a methodology to track and trap him.
So, while its a tragedy its just one of many in this war-torn country and doesn’t compare in significance to the innocent resdient who was just attemping to go about their life when the war personally touched them. Would have been much easier for this guy to just walk up to a soldier and lunge for his gun; the outcome was the same.
I don’t even know how to respond to your comment – I’d just as soon pass it by – like everyone else – but something should be said to you about knocking a guy that’s already down – like the Israelis do.
So there’ I’ve said it
Geraldo may have been harsh, but he is at-least partially right.
Lira knew he was being hunted and yet still continued to do hours of livestreams that could easily expose his exact location, while in enemy territory where the enemy controls & tracks the internet. It should have been obvious to him they would find him sooner or later in Kharkov of all places, where there are tons of nazi’s just looking for people like him.
I don’t think it really hit him the danger he was in until it was too late. Or maybe he had made peace with the thought of death and didn’t fear it – we’ll never know.
His best chance to survive would have been to cease livestreaming, keep a low profile and focus 100% of his energy on getting to the Russian lines. Even if that meant trudging through 10 miles of dirt in pitch black darkness through the woods. True that might not have worked, but it would have been a better chance than staying put in death-trap Kharkov while continuing to actively paint a target on your back.
Then he could have created content to his heart’s content. You know – live to fight another day.
Of course, ultimately he can’t be blamed for this. But it should be a lesson for others not to make the same mistake.
All that said, Kharkov needs to be denazified asap. I have no doubt that the people involved in his disappearance will all be killed or captured in the end. I think the Azov base in Kharkov is a prime target for some angry Chechens.
Hey ‘someguy’. How fair and logical of you. Your advice is so ‘wise’. Understand this. The Russians are coming. And when they go full bore, all these Nazis will be fleeing for their lives – to no avail. The Russians will have little mercy in their hearts for these murderers.
“Or maybe he had made peace with the thought of death and didn’t fear it – we’ll never know.”
Some people realize that the work they do is bigger than themselves, a rare breed.
Kudos! Great Comment.
“Or maybe he had made peace with the thought of death and didn’t fear it – we’ll never know.”
Actually we known, because he has already stated that. He was absolutely aware that he was a dead man if they found him. And he was prepared. That was all his statements and on Telegram even his apologies that he hadn’t post something in 12hours so he changed his behavior to post something every morning with #notdeadyet.
He had his family in safety before so he was not worried about them and he cared little for himself. And he was according to himself, not bad off either. Not needing funding with patreon etc. can be a great help in such decisions.
He had in one of this videos said himself that he don’t give a damn about the prospect of torture and that he had means to avoid that (assuming that he means suicide before they could “work” on him) i am not sure but i think that he had some pills or similar at hand. And he also stated that he feels in Chile back in the Days more threaten (was living under the Regime there) than in Kharkov today tells a lot about his mindset. That is a deathwish or heroism my friend. Because he COULD flee easily as he moved from Kiev to Kharkov in the first week of the SMO. So he made his decision and stayed in Kharkov and make his social commentary despite the fact that he would be dead at the day they found him.
Sounds about right to me.
…and leave his family behind! He has a wife and children there in Kharkov.
Ann, you couldn’t possibly be so naive as to believe that Liras actions wouldn’t have consequences in a snakes den that Ukraine is. C’mon! This is why I was suspicious if not dreading where it was all headed.
I hope there is some way that Ganzalo turns up fine and healthy. Unfortunately, I think he underestimated how truly evil these people in the Ukraine, including well paid puppet Zelensky. I think people tried to warn him. The Azov scum and other Ukrainians are shooting Ukrainians in the back who try to surrender.
The Ukraine is a police state run by criminal gangs.
Gonzalo Lira is dead?
Gonzalo Lira update Scott Ritter claims Gonzalo has been Executed?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyxBs77cAok
Any Confirmation of this?
Well said.
You have 100% missed the mark. He was heroic. Period. End of subject. Everything you wrote was a waste of time to read. Geez. Like criticizing JFK for riding with the top down.
Shmos like you are brave little warriers that armchair danger when ‘warned’
piss off
He was there, you were not.
He broadcasted his point of view from the eye of the hurricane, you did not.
You are writing from the comfort of your computer chair, he probably is being tortured by nazis.
So, well, yeah, (Removed insult,MOD), Geraldo. Thanks!
Problem is that there were many alt media sites that were doing a damn good job of exposing the lies here at home like the Saker, South Front, Unz, the Duran, etc. Lira unnecessarily put himself and his friends and family in possible danger. He should have left with the refugees that went to Poland.
How would Lira have left ? He is 54 and not female.
He must have a residence permit which would be his ID.
Too many people on this site have NEVER been in a situation of danger and always think they have the perfect escape plan…….that is why men sit in Azovstal waiting for the end.
Lira lived in Ukraine and was frustrated that “The West” was betraying every value he believed in. He made livestream which the popcorn-eating classes found entertaining as if it was Lira in the cage at the zoo.
He was stuck in a profound mess. He lived reality. Lots of his viewers live fantasy
You are so wrong. The few you named are very few sites indeed. South Front is constantly dealing with attempts by the West to shut it down, for years now. There are too few news sites telling the truth and Gonzalo did what a war correspondent is supposed to do go into danger and expose what is really happening. He exposed a lot of the crimes against the average Ukrainian by the regime. He was the true definition of a citizen journalist.
I loved Gonzalo and always watched his youtube videos before his Ukraine reporting. I left a comment on one video where he showed his whereabouts to not show his location or mention his routine because they could triangulate him that way. Geraldo makes valid points. He’s just pointing out Gonzalo’s behavior led up to this event, it didn’t happen out of the blue. He was doing a very dangerous thing reporting from inside Ukraine and everytime he reported I wished he had just gone to ground and kept quiet, but then the Gonzalo Lira that I and others loved wouldn’t have done that. That’s what made him Gonzalo Lira. Coach Red Pill.
It would be tempting to dox the TDB reporter in Ukraine as vengeance for Gonzalo.
Stupid comment. So you think that a man speaking his mind and reporting things as he sees it deserves to die?
We shall see how these SBU folks fare as the weeks and months pass. The Russians will take the Ukraine back, of that there is no doubt. They will then set about hunting down every single one of the killers, including – May God protect him from harm – anyone that may murder or torture Gonzalo. The Russians will be ruthless about this. Make no mistake.
I don’t think he said he deserved to die. But I agree there’s going to be a ruthless response from the Russians. For starters, a new Ukrainian nation. I think the 8 southernmost raisons are all history. By the end of my lifetime there will probably be 3 or 4 countries where Ukraine formerly existed.
The Ukies didn’t know him nor care about him. He wasn’t broadcasting in their language. They have major international media on their side anyway.
It was Dailybeast’s own reporter (the Sarah/ John Michael creature) who is embedded with the Ukie soldiers & who persistently drew their attention to him.
Very insightful. I would think the issue with Mr. Lira originated from America. Very low level stuff. Then point him out to the Ukies and that’s that.
exactly the Daily Beast even contacted the Ukrainian parliament and told them about him – this video says it very well in the first 5 minutes or less
https://www.bitchute.com/video/MYMVrYv2vyzF/
“The Ukies didn’t know him nor care about him.” No, you are so wrong. He had lots of followers. He was broadcasting in the language of the Empire of Lies. The Empire runs the regime in Kiev. It didn’t like his ‘language’. So he had to go and this was communicated to the Ukies. The Daily Beast hatchet job was their way of doing this.
They were serving Hillary! Who was helping her bestie, Vicky. US Imperialism is deadly dangerous.
Probably he’s fine and safe. He’s just one of hundreds of reporters covering the conflict in Ukraine which dont pose any real threat to the regime. If hes been detained he will stay for a couple of weeks in a low security jail to teach him some kind of a lesson and then he’ll be asked to leave. These are normal security measures by any country in state of war. People should not spread false or alarming rumors about his situation.
I can’t help worrying that the Ukies have delivered Coach to their American paymasters to be tormented just like Assange and other enemies of the state.
Assange is an Israeli operative/asset/stooge/agent/Shabbos goy…Employed by the real enemies of every state…@Fidelios Automata..
Z for Victory!
BDS 2022…
Assange would not have spent five years locked up in a small embassy if he was an stooge or Shabbos guy. What you’ve written makes no sense.
@Uncoy, I do hope Gonzalo is just laying low, and we’ll hear from him soon. I don’t wish to spin this tread off on a tangent, but Julian Assange admitted to allowing Israel to “filter” all Wikileaks classified material. His “Filter” is the understatement of all time. He’s given great praise to bloodthirsty Benjimin Netanyahu, who he’s met with, and been photographed with, Wikileaks is a Mossad front…Never a mention of Gaza atrocities, ISIS proxies, or the crimes of the IDF, Israeli publications speak highly of Assange, there’s another clue.
I don’t know if you’re aware that Assange was bailed out by a Rothschild sister in-law and has been under house arrest in a Rothschild mansion, which doesn’t sound like very brutal accommodations. Also, consider why Assange has not released information about how Israel and the traitorous Zionist collaborators within our own government were 100% behind the attacks on September 11, 2001, or why Assange does not release information about the multiple Israeli false flag attacks around the world in order to keep us in perpetual war in the Middle East for their plans to expand Greater Israel, while crashing and trashing the USA. The 100% Zionist Jewish owned and controlled mainstream media is information’s public enemy number one, and Wikileaks is presented as a hard hitting truthful alternative, with Assange as a victim…Oy Vey!
Z for Victory!
An excuse made by some that do not want to recognize that Assange flayed open the heinous actions of the US government and he is still paying for it today. In this way, they support those actions and do not even know it.
You must be one of the “extremist experts” mentioned in the bile outpouring from the Daily Beast, trying hard but unsuccessfully to mimic impartial criticism.
A plus that you can count to 5 but a big minus for not knowing the difference between “its” and “it’s.” Scurry away now.
I do hope he turns Up well!
The way you have described this persons plight sounds much like his only crime is he took a chance expressed a view in a fascist state!
Like “someguy” I have a nuanced take on Geraldo’s post. He may be a troll, US-paid or otherwise, but he makes a valid point. As much as I respect Lira’s bravery and appreciate his content, I’ve sometimes wondered if he was either too reckless or faking it. Regarding the second, he’s’ offered convincing proof he was actually in Kharkov. (Zelenskyy, on the other hand, is obviously a big fat phony.) Could there have been a safer way to get the truth out to the wider world?
I am not a troll. I just raise some uncomfortable questions regarding his conduct without being emotionally invested in his reporting. I think the Ukies are under the boots of a fascist regime that’s not long for this world, and the Russians are the good guys here. But his behavior was not consistent with the clear and present danger he was in and it needs to be recongnized or else others may follow his example and end up a casualty to the regime. Which will not survive the loss of its army in the Donbass, by the way.
When Nato bombed Serbia, western journalists/propagandists were free to spew hatred and roam in Belgrade. Nobody harmed them, despite that their colleagues at a Serbian television station got bombed/assassinated by Nato.
Hang in there Geraldo. You are simply getting blowback from this blog’s version of the woke crowd. My guess is most of them are USAmericans. They can’t take a dump without wanting to occupy the high moral ground about it.
Just curious – what convincing proof did GL offer that he was actually in Kharkov?
In one of his videos he was outdoors showing shots of the city.
There was a video where he showed stores downtown. I remember a chocolate shop. I believe it was this one.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pGZ7Gy7DBE
Something is off with that guy, Gonzalo Lira. I mean, for one thing he is anti-Azov, but was pro-Pinochet. That might have to do with his family background, I read somewhere that he had family members that were high ranking officers in the Pinochet regime, but I can’t verify this. What I know is that he smeared the Allende government and said that the military “had to take over”. This is weird, but of course people are full of contradictions. Also this dating coach, red pill guy turned political expert over night. Well, he is a good story teller, I ended up watching his long videos several times while I should have done something better with my time. But yes, his actions seem totally stupid and self destructive, like he had a death wish. I wouldn’t be surprised if there are some secrets about the whole Lira character. He doesn’t strike me as trustworthy.
Ove: I have to say that IMO something didn’t wash with Lira.
I wonder whether we’ll ever find out the whole story.
For someone with a wife and children, he was inexplicably reckless.
I won’t say more until we get the whole story.
And maybe not then.
At least at this site dissent regarding Lira is tolerated.
His disappearance raises a cloud of further questions and should not cancel critical thinking.
You realize that the man’s father reads here?
You realize that you are repeating these comments in the face of his father?
You would not do that if the person stood in front of you.
Dissent all you like, but do it critically, not on some vague “I think that …..”
Lira also wrote for ZeroHedge. His dad was a banker in New York. He said his dad used to come home after working in NYC and spoke to him about economics and banking policy when he (Lira) was young. And then he studied Philosophy and History at Dartmouth. You can learn a lot in your life if you challenge yourself and if you have a high IQ –IQ is like potential. Some people don’t have the discipline to reach their full potential. I don’t know if Lira did, but he was successful in multiple spheres (wrote books before he got blacklisted by the handful of publishing houses there are, directed movies, etc.) similar to Vox Day/Theodore Beale or Steven Hsu or Michael Saylor. Credentialism is a scourge that facilitates groupthink. Give sound logic and a good discussion and let’s go from there. Lira was open to discussion…this whole situation is sad if he’s really dead. I’m praying he’s alive but for SUCH a talkative, social guy, he has not posted a single thing in a week. He said he started his CRP video archives for his kids, because he was/is an old dad. His kids are probably only 7 and 5 today. I think he miscalculated badly how much control the Russians had over the situation.
Even if what you say is strictly true, it leaves one wondering whether you apply this same standard of cynicism across the board. Would you have exactly this same opinion if it were someone dear to you, or someone you find very likable, someone with whom you agree, or do you reserve this for those you loathe?
Daily Beast. One day…
Unking of me but karma would be deserved for the DB. He was telling the truth and I do hope he is still alive.
I may be clutching at straws here but the longer it goes with no word from or about Lira, the (slightly) more optimistic I become about his chances. He would make a very shiny trophy for the Nazis. So if they had found him and taken him alive, I would have expected them to be holding a very public celebration and parading his capture before the world. But that hasn’t happened. Perhaps I’m deluded but hope dies last.
Same
Same.
i doubt they cared much until someone influental brought it to their attention. His little encounter in Kiev kind of demonstrated the scope of this: a troublemaker who was bad for business.

I may be clutching at straws here but the longer it goes with no word from or about Lira, the (slightly) more optimistic I become about his chances.
I think you’ve put your finger on the best hope. It may be that Gonzalo’s really been picked up by the Ukrainian Security Services to avoid the bad publicity that his torture and murder by psychopathic Banderites would bring. It may also be that people in power are looking for some insurance/bargaining chips for when the Zelenski regime finally collapses. Never mind the Russians, there will be plenty of Ukrainians looking to take revenge on those who’ve brought this war on the country. It’s a slim hope, but unless and until we have definite confirmation of his fate, I will hold to it. To those who criticise Gonzalo’s apparent recklessness. That was his choice and I am sure he was well aware of the dangers, but that should not detract from admiration for his courageous reporting. I am glad to hear his family is safe.
Gonzalo is hiding.
I dont think he’s hiding
Gonzalo is not hiding. Thousands of people are inquiring about his safety. Sputnik, RT, many other platforms have attempted to reach him repeatedly. The Chilean Embassy has put out a statement. Last but not least his family. Gonzalo would never torment everyone this way. He seems to be a very caring man.
It was important to him to mention all the others that went missing. He mentioned them often. He wanted to keep Tiffany Dover’s name in the forefront so people would not forget. I love his style. He was open and honest and very bright. He has a real talent to explain something complicated to one that knows little, Not just anyone can do that. He did this with kindness and patience.
I have written to media outlets and the Chilean Embassy. We need to know where he is. We need to do for him what he has done for others. I pray that dear sweet man will appear soon. Where is Gonzalo Lira?
The Daily Beast is a disgusting leftist propaganda publication, spewing lies for years.
No self-respecting person reads it.
It is very inappropriate to “promote” them on this site.
Nice assessment and I’m confident anyone sophisticated enough to use this site for information wouldn’t need more than about 30 seconds at the ‘daily BEAST’ sewer to recognize the smell of sulpher…..
Unfortunately we are vastly outnumbered by the “no self-respecting person(s)” and I doubt TDB feels any shame whatsoever.
It is not promoting it, it is holding it up for opprobrium.
It is giving them clicks = $
the Daily Beast is a sleaze magazine of internet times.
What is says about Gonzalo is what it is – itself.
Its completely shocking that they published such a horrible report – so derogatory – so beneath human dignity – especially for him because he was so genuine and so needy in a way.
A really remarkable human being.
They will live just fine with themselves, probably even gloat over it – this is the kind of thing that brings meaning to the very pitiful and pathetic lives of mainstream media “journalists”. They have downgraded themselves from being merely paid liars to being paid informants and rats for terroristic regimes. They all have blood on their hands and they are proud of it.
Don’t worry though, the day is coming when they will all get their comeuppance. We won’t forgive and we won’t forget.
Boy, you nailed it.
These aren’t journalists, these are intelligence agents. They make it their business to doxx anyone who opposes the interests of the empire of lies in a big way on the internet. Look into the history of the daily beast in with dissent in the united States if you want to know who these guys actually are. NYT and WaPo types are still project monarch but at the end of the day they are mouthpieces and individual journalists who write for them can make a serious claim of just being a sell out. These people are looking for leads or publishing data dumps for open source Intel on the ground
All the MSM now have a member of the MIC/”Intelligence” Services on their board of directors controlling the content of publications and broadcasts.
Speak the truth to power and pay the consequences.
Hopefully he is OK. Odds are we will never see him again.
Meanwhile Zelensky is laying the foundation for a nuclear false flag.
+Saker
From the tone of their – TDB -“article” (ahem – hit piece), the intent was clear but to a Lemming. They WANTED that result. In fact it was not only TDB, it was the whole echo chamber within the Empire of Lies. Remember that Trannie link I sent you and the “sakeristas” yesterday, the vibe “it” gave and the hate filled jargon toward Lira. Toward Russia in a grand scale. That is how TDB and et al feel. THAT is the thermometer. Looks like they got their wish regarding Lira. Hopefully not. Time will answer everything.
We all should pray for this man!
The owners of the daily beast is nothing else than a Jew by the name of Noah Shachtman and Christina hambley brown (Tina Brown)
These two have given Gonzalo Lira to the nazis assassins
Let’s hope he still alive!
When you are human garbage like the vermin at the Daily Beast then it is easy to live with yourself. No evidence of biological weapons labs? Rot in Hell.
He’s a high value hostage i reckon, has businesses etc so might be ransomed off if those nazis are motivated by money as well. GL knew the risk of staying there the entire time, although has to be seen if he stays alive to tell his tale. I hope he does
Anna Wiener, Uncanny Valley: A Memoir: “Certain unflattering truths: I had felt unassailable behind the walls of power. Society was shifting, and I felt safer inside the empire, inside the machine. It was preferable to be on the side that did the watching than the side being watched.”
Every part of the Western media cloaca voids lies as part of their profit margin. Right wing media long ago accepted their role as ad sales, junior associates. Extremist media sources deal in sick, sexually deviant, hero fantasies of small, stupid people. MSM journalism can be described by the phrases, ‘Go along, to get along’, or, ‘It isn’t what you know, its who you blow’. As corporate whores, the only job is to moan, wriggle, and scream on cue, or take a vicious beating from their editorial pimps. The ‘Left’, ‘Woke’, ‘Radical Chic’ media believe in fashion. So one month its ‘Baby seals’, the next ‘Black Lives Matter’, ‘Extinction Rebellion’, or ‘Occupy Wall Street’. There is no memory, no substance to their support. They aren’t looking to make things better. They’re just looking for the hottest party, and the easiest lays. As the above quote suggests: Western media wants to be ‘embedded’ with murderers, not stand with the raped or murdered.
So Gonzalo Lira’s courageous reportage from the front lines threatens the illusions of every kind of Western media. Just like Hemingway’s Spanish Civil War reportage, David Webb’s ‘Dark Alliance’ exposure of Contra-CIA cack cocaine trafficking, Alfred McCoy’s ‘The Politics of Heroin’, or, Col Prouty’s ‘The Secret Team’ announcing CIA penetration of all facets of US government.
Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451: “You don’t have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.”
William Casey (CIA Director 1981-1987): “We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.”
I think it is worth noting what the Daily Beast does NOT mention in its scurrilous attack on Gonzalo.
Curiously, a topic to which he dedicated two videos goes unmentioned, while his asides about women are howled about again and again, and that is Victoria Nudelman.
Gonzalo describes Nudelman’s important role in bringing Ukraine to the tragedy in which it finds itself today, starting with the cookies-fueled Maidan. More explosive was Nudelamn’s genealogy, which he traced and into which he reads an undying tribal hatred of Russia.
Was that the final nail he recklessly (or fearlessly, if you prefer) hammered into his own coffin? If the Nudelmans don’t forgive the Russians for granpa’s trauma of a century ago would they be tolerant and forgiving of a fresh challenge and unmasking?
It is odd that the DB reaches for the small sin of machismo and ignore the big and juicy accusation of anti-semitism they could have so easily launched in this piece. So why the oddly reticent omission? Because it was the reason why he had to be silenced more than his reporting from Kharkov?
That’s exactly it. It was personal, not political. Her husband made a telephone call, a story issued from the Daily Beast and he became a target.
Her “personal” is highly political and vice versa
I knew that was trouble when I saw that video. He wasn’t even particularly harsh with her, in my opinion. But it put a bullseye on her back. at a time when she already has a hundred other bullseyes on her back because of her involvement in all this.
Gonzalo was a rare bird. For years he fearlessly spoke his mind–long before this war. He never went with the flow. He always fought the current. He questioned received wisdom and let the world know what he thought–not ranting, but in a measured, reasonable way. You can say that he was forewarned, reckless and should have known better–and you’d be right. But if he had acted differently, he would not have been Gonzalo. Which is why he is (and I hope it is “is” and not “was”) so admirable.
He is a rare bird indeed. For once I thought I’d found someone who speaks my language. I feel that he is so intelligent that he is hiding somewhere quietly waiting it out. He knows what he was dealing with and will not risk his safety in any way. He even stated how he felt vulnerable one day when he was walking to his supermarket. He expressed a fear of being shot. So he is lying very low now and waiting. He has allies helping him.
“For once I thought I’d found someone who speaks my language.”
Same feeling. I felt so close to his way of thinking and his macro analysis, describing a wide landscape and the big picture in simple words.
I pray for Gonzalo Lira. I miss his channel so much! He should have made his way to the Russian contact line during the early days.
daily beast, another name to remember…just in case
Andrei,
The people who run these propaganda outlets like the Daily Beast have no soul. They don’t care who does on their account. Just like Facebook and Twitter allowing people to call for the deaths of Russians. These people have sold their souls to the Devil.
I truly hope Gonzalo will be OK.
I very much valued his youTube segments and his Telegram channel.
He was one of the few to make sense out of the chaos.
No one deserves to be harmed for expressing their views online. I am praying every day that Gonzalo is okay.
I only heard of Gonzalo from the videos he made after the war began. I found his videos extremely informative and entertaining. Here is a guy that talks for 40 to 120 minutes and the truth bombs come out natural and sincere. I pray that he is safe and that he has not been murdered. Few people can write (or talk) like Gonzalo (the Saker to be another such person). But Lira is already being missed.
They are evil. They do Satan’s work
Lira may have been reckless, but that does not detract from the fact that legal and moral guilt for whatever befalls him resides with Ukrainians. After all, in normal country,which does not persecute journalists and bloggers, he would not have been arested. He was executing his freedom of speech.
That said, if they had wanted to kill him, he would have been disappeared covertly. There was a lot of public bragging and mocking by Nazis, and although there was debate about that, is still not unimportant Lira is US citizen. That leads me to assumption, it would be to embarassing to kill him and he will be released.
Why would the Ukrainian government depend on the Daily Beast to find him, as opposed any anonymous person, of which there are doubtless thousands upon thousands, who are privy to the fact that Gonzalo Lira is/was in Kharkiv, because he’s stated any number of times?
I don’t think anyone in Ukraine really knew about him until Kiev, and even that was more of a one-off deal.
But when he started attacking the U.S. someone from America made a call and really put him on the radar.
The fact that nobody has actually shown anything about having captured him and that his various channels still seem to be up gives me some hope. Slim hope, given his circumstances, but hope nonetheless. Usually the nazis love to show off such public figures when they torture them. They only ever tend to “disappear” people who aren’t prominent.
Let’s hope that he decided to make a break for it or go into deep cover. I would hate to see another critic of the Kiev regime suffer for their bravery.
i fear the opposite. This feels personal, not institutional. Some person set this in motion using the tools at their disposal.
Many, if not all of us here at the Vineyard feel a great loss if video-journalist Gonzalo Lira.is no longer among the living.
In a way, Lira’s courage of conviction to stay in the throws of harms way to give the world his first-hand observations and analysis to expose the Nazi fraud that is Zelenskyy and his entire ilk, reminds me of all the Christian Church Fathers who refused to renounce their faith in Christ and were martyred. Did they all have a “death” wish; couldn’t they have sought a safe harbor rather than risk their lives?
No, what they all had was a belief system that is stronger than the fear of mortal extinction; that is that truth will set you free. The Church Fathers were consumed by their burning love for Christ above all else and no man could come between them and the Son of God.
Lira’s motivation from what we knew about him is more mundane yet it is fair to say he was well aware of the consequences but continued to sing his voice so that we benefited from his heroism. He stayed to report what he witnessed and through his eyes we witnessed the horror of war between brother against brother.
After sometime we may eventually forget about him but not his bravery. Lira’s digital work is a testament to his professionalism and his humanity. Let us add his name to the living monument of all who fought for the liberation of Ukraine, not only those who wielded the sword but also the scribes who chronicled the story of immeasurable pain, suffering and the glorious and final victory over evil.
thank you for the words you wrote about my son. May God take him away from harm´s way and be in a safe place. These days since Saturday have been terrible for me and family.
Thank you again,
Gonzalo Lira Sr.
Yessir.
Be proud of Your son Sir.
I am.
Perhaps we overlook one other possibility …
Kharkov shelling was increasing at the time of his disappearance. Could it be that he suffered some sort of injury (shelling from either side) and has made his way to a medical facility for treatment and is laying low.
If he were in some sort of hospital or clinic, he most certainly wouldn’t be posting his whereabouts, given that they would all be identifiable for security services to eventually find him.
Just a thought, which I would like to believe is the case, rather than the worst.
The Daily Beast
Their name says it all.
The Day the Chechens come to Kharkov, Asov will fear and tremble.
CIA has bags of money to support such freelance writers, choose and place their denunciations. Conscience not required…
Hmm…really putting it out there. It’s possible. He was a Dartmouth College alumni after all .
Miss Gonazalo. I really do.
I listened and followed him intently, having first become aware of him on the YouTube show “The Duran.” I also enjoyed his standalone content.
I hope he is still alive. Until it is officially announced that he is no longer with us, I will continue to hope.
His commentary was special – man on the street, gonzo reporting. What I liked best was his analysis of the economic war against Russia and what it meant for the world’s unipolar economy to fragment into a multipolar economy. One could tell he was well read and had a strong finance and economics background.
While I certainly did not agree with everything he said, I agreed with a lot of what he said and I would have enjoyed a challenging conversation with him over a quality IPA.
Let’s all hope for the best!
Bravo, Gonzalo. A true son of Chile. The Chile of Salvador Allende.
Like Allende, Mr Lira fought to his last “bullet” for dignity, moral integrity, and outgoing concern. His podcasts to the end reflected that same chilean character as is found among them even post-Pinochet.
He should be a national hero.
Greatness is where you find it and only mean spirits spit upon it by supporting his ‘SBU thugs’ with donations.
I call upon Ukrainians to nationally surrender to Russia as a mark of respect for Mr Lira.
He respected your country by choosing to live a little in it. Or else will it be an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
Remember Allende. Remember a great ‘Salvador’ who has passed in your midst.
As I remember, Gonzalo was not a fan of Allende …
… he was genuine, speaking his mind, but he was from the other side of the barricades, when speaking of Allende …
We should be raising some stink on Twatter…the ones who still post there that is.
#GonzaloLiraMissing
I am not on Twitter or any other social media but I sent a one-line e-mail to the Ukrainian embassy here: “Where is Gonzalo Lira?” Not that I expect a reply, just to let them know that people worldwide are aware of their abject crimes.
I think he’s in hiding. He made no secret of his whereabouts even posting videos of maps of his shopping route. Not very wise at all.
If they had or killed him we’d know about it.
Someone had his Telephone number and called him. No result
BREAKING 🚨 @CNNChile confirms @ChileMFA is investigating the illegal capture of civilian #GonzaloLira by Ukrainian neo-Nazi Azov forces in Kharkov, Ukraine.
https://t.co/712NVYRHHG https://t.co/qr1EUgSsz2
Chile’s MFA? Oh, yeah, sure … I bet Chile’s new president, the extreme left jew Boric, will spare no effort….
Didn’t Gonzalo realize he could be in danger from these psychopaths? He was either incredibly brave or terribly naive. Prayers.
He did realize.He was stuck. He said so himself.
On all ways out of Kharkov, he would have to pass several Ukrainian check-points. And they would check thoroughly any men in the correct age bracket for military service.
Knowing just how bad things were in Ukraine, and he’d been there long enough, it was tempting fate to do what he did. He should have split and split fast when he could. I pray he’s alright but this doesn’t bode well unless he wised up and escaped.
The US State Department did the correct thing, when in mid February they ordered all US citizens to leave Ukraine. They knew this would happen.
Memory Eternal
There are news that the german government is prosecuting those who use the “Z” and “V” symbols in public, with the following motivation from “justice” minister G. Eisenreich:
https://www.barrons.com/news/german-states-outlaw-display-of-russia-s-z-war-symbol-01648307108
«Bavaria’s Justice Minister Georg Eisenreich noted that freedom of opinion is a “great asset” but it “ends where criminal law begins. Sympathisers who use the symbol ‘Z’ of Russian forces in Bavaria must know that they may be liable to prosecution for approving criminal acts,” he said. “We will not allow violations of international law to be condoned,” he said.»
Of the interesting aspects of this is that “criminal acts” have not been proven yet, so it is difficult to imagine how it is possible to be prosecuted as an accomplice to them (never mind the blatant double standard). Yet the same prosecution is happening in other countries, for example:
https://www.pragueforum.cz/ukraine-crisis-in-czechia-whats-happening-now-april-13/
«posting photos online of traditional Czech chlebíčky (open sandwiches) decorated with cheeses in a Z-shape»
That kind of attitude/intimidation/censorship is common in countries at war: anything that might be understood as not blaming the enemy, in whatever form, is forbidden, and strict controls over public messaging are put in place.
What the prosecutions against the “Z” and “V” symbols imply is that the governments of Germany and other countries think that they are at war against the Russian Federation.
Which probably means that a “peacekeeping” force, probably mostly from Poland, will soon be invited by the ukrainian government and it will end up fighting with Russian Federation forces, and Ukraine will become a new Korea (except that in Korea’s case the U.N. had approved the intervention on the side of the fascist regime).
Given the context, someone reporting honestly from Ukraine, with a fascist xenophobe government that has banned pretty much all opposition parties and has been killing their own citizens in the Donbas for 8 years, is taking knowingly a big risk. If Lira has been “sanctioned” that will be an object lesson to many other reporters tempted to do their job honestly but less brave than Lira. Many people at the “Daily Beast”, and their “sponsors”, probably will rejoice at that.
psychopaths obviously
and psychos generally could not care less.
if someone who really helped them many times say dies – psychopaths feel the way normal people feel when their dishwasher stops working and now they have to get a new one.
Transgender reporter embedded with Kiev forces in Kharkiv calls for SBU death squads to kill US journalist Patrick Lancaster
She is the same one who instigated the kidnapping of Gonzalo Lira:
https://twitter.com/MaxBlumenthal/status/1516157811620605958?s=20&t=_dg_Y6cdcuqUvSZCRlB9rA
“She”?
Don’t play his game. He’s a man, will always be.
What kind of a world are we living, in? A single guy in 2022 speaking (just speaking and nothing else) on videos made with a mobile phone is enough for getting him killed? How low can humanity stoop? I am very, very sorry for Gonzalo Lira! The chances that we will see him again alive are close to zero.
And the evidence is piling up in your favor, one of his videos was captured by the western main stream media and shown some days later as a clip from the industrial bombings.
He could have been injured or killed during a battle or simply apprehended and had his equipment confiscated.
You seem to be minimizing Gonzalo’s transgressions. No, no, no, no, no.
If a Slovak public employee can be arrested and then fired from his job (as it has been reported recently) for offering the guests to his private party a platter with sandwiches decorated with Z-shaped cheese, then the execution of someone like Gonzalo seems like the proportionately appropriate punishment. He didn’t just simply speak “and nothing else.” He was nullifying the reports of the MSM on the situation in Ukraine and, much worse, he had committed the unforgivable act of lése -juifé against Nudelman and her tribe.
Afraid the kind of World we are living in is the Fourth Reich,its crept up on many of the herd without them even knowing.
The daily beast is really the mark of the beast.
I do not agree with the harsh way of Geraldo, how he is describing it … but I have to admit, that there he has some points …
Gonzalo was a desperado. You should not provoke the enemy on his territory this way.
They got even Richard Sorge … with all his experience and diplomatic status.
But Sorge had a motivation and saved a whole country from the defeat!
Gonzalo was not just somebody who spoke the contrary to the ruling regime.
He was somebody, who tried to tell the truth on the ground, endangering himself to the extreme.
That is a big difference, Geraldo! That is, what I call heroism.
I do not know, what was his motivation and how he planned to survive this, but the work, what he has done speaks for itself.
I warned him myself in the comments to his videos. He had to know, that there is a hunt on him going on.
This is the same with Patrick Lancaster. There is a hunt on him either.
The Empire of Lies can not allow to let such a person stay alive.
He is a much more valuable target, then any other soldier or combatant. A soldier or combatant is engaging only the enemy in front of him (visible or invisible).
Patrick Lancaster reaches a wide audience of thousands of people, influencing the decision of many. Just like any general … or even more!
Just imagine, that a general asks some young men to come and join to fight: a few will maybe listen and make that decision.
But after watching some reporting of Patrick, the people are coming voluntarily. He is awakening the natural instincts to fight the evil and protect the weak. They have the images of his videos in their heads, that is what motivates them!
I just hope, that there are always some reliable people around, to protect Patrick.
Gonzalo did not even have that protection on the territory of the enemy. Insane!
I do not know, if some prayers help in this situation.
The prayers belong to a different world … a world, where the bullets and Nazi hatred makes no difference … only the past deeds of a human being …
The Daily Beast is a collection of presstitutes … no difference to whores and prostitutes.
You spit a prostitute in the eyes and she says: it is raining …
To comment on them is a waste of time.
But Gonzalo knew, what kind of scum is out there. No excuse for him.
The newest and most fresh presstitute icon is Taylor Lorenz. An amazing specimen!
It is a Judas crying, that the Pharisees did not like him:

“Now I wonder how they will live with themselves.”
Sorry Andrei, but jokes you if you though these people have morals or see its ideological enemies as being human and deserving of rights.
These people have 0 real humanity for their “opponents”
Looks like before the war is over there is going to more than a few Charles Horman’s murdered by the regime in Kiev and the West.
Our family already did pray for Lira last night, Covering him in the blood of the Christ. As for Michael Daley, I understood him to represent everything that’s wrong with the West years ago… Michael, a PSYOPs operative for the cabal.. is to be rebuked – as there is no doubt the Lord will one day do.
SGT Victoria Bingham
There was a simple request here.
It is Pray For Gonzalo Lira!
May I just express my utter dismay at the ones sitting safely behind their computers pretending to know what he could have done differently? You don’t know!!!!!.
So, stop pulling the man apart. He could be tortured right now as far as we know. Insulting him, his motives, his work, his decisions – he should have, he could have – You don’t Know!!!!
You liked his work or you did not. Stop boring the rest of us and for heaven’s sake, a kind thought or a prayer would cost you nothing, and it may make you a better person.
Right now being reported:
This is what is happening to people who tell the truth as they see it. Patrick Lancaster is under threat.
Please stop being a bunch of vultures where Lira or anyone else is concerned.
I agree Amarynth – its shocking how infantile and unfeeling Americans are…I’m assuming most of the commenters are from here in North America.
No ability to contact the higher chambers of the mind – its all part of the plan – education in America has been going downhill for a century or more – even since the first settlers…you know – the ones that killed all the local inhabitants –
But education has been catapulting downhill here – I can see it in the youth – just in my local area.
God bless Gonzalo – he was inspired at a time in his life too, when things were tough – one of his first videos he talked about being separated from his children, although I believe there was a breakup in the marriage – and now his poor darling children.
His gave his life for us. Thank you dear Gonzalo – your reward in Heaven will be magnificent. We love you
Ann
there is a video by Alex Christoforou – he has news that the Chilean government is aware and is acting on the information of Gonzalo’s disappearance. Even in Poland the Chilean Embassy is doing all they can to locate Gonzalo
Not much news but a thread.
https://youtu.be/AHRmwwWSY18
Thank you for saying it and so well.
Nope. If you want prayers, go to church. This is a blog. People are simply expressing their anxieties and doubts and hoping for a conversation that might help them to understand what is going on. A very human thing to do. Get off your high horse.
I’ll sit on my high horse until people understand that a little kindness will not cost them anything.
This is not ‘a blog’. It belongs to Andrei Raevski, The Saker. And at the moment I am looking after it with some help.
And if this continues, I will close comments.
Capische?
Gonzalo was imperiling the “message.” ….. Reporting on what goes on in Ukraine is in safe hands:
ISW @TheStudyofWar – 23:40 UTC · Apr 18, 2022
#Donetsk and #Luhansk Oblasts Update:
#Russian forces likely began large-scale offensive operations in Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts on April 18. These offensive operations are unlikely to be dramatically more successful than failed operations around #Kyiv.
The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Kagan/Nuland Family Enterprises
ISW was founded by Kimberley Kagan who runs it. She is married to Fredrick Kagan and is the sister in law of Robert Kagan and his wife Victoria Nuland.
https://consortiumnews.com/2017/03/15/the-kagans-are-back-wars-to-follow/
(Quotes from Moonofalabama)
Gonzalo was not only contradicting the beast but unmasking it
Dear God, I hope he is well. Daily Beast lives up to its name, they are indeed beasts, with blood on their hands.
Nazis are mainstream now.
Everything western disgusts me now to no end.
Andrei,
He is fighting the system. I know, when you open your mouth against them, they don´t like it. I have my name on lists too. I just stay within the boundaries, that most people do not know exist. So, I get left alone. As you may or may not have noticed, some of the stuff I have been posting here, has become very visible, before it gained public notice. I got their attention, especially during Syria and once you get on the list, you don´t come off. Truthfully, I actually started that ball rolling a long time ago, when I was much younger and very pissed off. I changed.
Gonzalo seems like a decent guy, somebody who is appalled by what he has learned first hand and has decided he will not sit still while this is going on. He has my resepct. This is how freedom is earned, at a very serious cost to some. I actually had a premonition about him about a day before he disappeared. I was only mildly surprised when the news broke about him.
He is in contestation with the worst of the worst of humanity. They really don´t care and some of these MF´ers think it is all fun too. I would help him if I could but, there is nothing that I can do on this end. If he is held by people that are marked death, his chances are small but, he has a shot, if he is not already dead. With God, all things are possible.
And this if for the guys who may have taken him and any instigators that may have facilitated that …… you guys may think your in the green, that you know what is going to happen. You are very ignorant so, I will do you one favor to bring you up to speed. If you do or have done your worst to him, then what will befall you, you will not believe ………. and it will happen in the worst possible moment for you and anybody or anything you do care about. If ………. you give Gonzalo a break, one will be given to you, when you need it the most. These are not my rules, it is the way life works. So take your pick.
I wish the best for Gonzalo and his family.
John
Thank you John, I am Gonzalo´s very anguished Dad.
I hope there are real world consequences for that disgusting psychopath transvestite from the Daily Beast, too. That thing has also called for violence against Patrick Lancaster, a gentle and beautiful soul if there ever was one.
Essential viewing but hard to watch withoutt emotion:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4TVLwpt_yw&t=665s
No wonder the beasts from hell have Patrick in their sights now
I’m so sorry Gonzalo. We miss you and grieve in your absence
Gonzalo was trapped in Kharkiv and couldnt get out. He explained in his last podcast Kharkiv citizens who attempted to leave were shot by armed prisoners at every exit that Zelensky let out of jail. He sounded more tense and listeners noticed he cursed more. Gonzalo may have initially hoped the Russians would be more active in Kharkiv but in a recent podcast Scott Ritter (spell?)told him that was unlikely . He didn’t have another place to go. Sadly I remember you also for your recent podcast for those who disappeared. Thank you for all you did,no less in dire circumstances Gonzalo Lira.
We may choose to think he was courageous or careless (I think courageous). He certainly brought to light many truths, one being Victoria Nuland’s involvement in the criminal activities and West’s political control occurring for years in Ukraine.
It’s a very tense moment in the Lora Gonzalo journalistic career, he made a big impact and will missed by a great many.
My thoughts are centred on the Ukrainian army soldiers whose moral is very low, and who perhaps were naive, uninformed, bribed, threatened, who knows what, but their lives in the last weeks may well have been hell, who has there been to inspire them to fight and commit acts of courage for the “Glory of Ukraine” did they ever all believe in that anymore from the start ? No one is there to give them true leadership, support and hope.
My thoughts are with the Ukrainian citizens who are suffering, who haven’t been able to escape, with the torture and death of their soldiers, Russian soldiers, other journalists and freedom fighters.
This war on European soil is a created nightmare theatre of war.
I will be very surprised if the Ukraine Nazis kill Lira. There are consequences if you do that to US citizens. I wonder if he is part Spanish (many in Chile are) because those Spanish judges do not hesitate to indict people who commit war crimes against their people.
If they captured him, though, i bet he is being tortured. I pray for him. Hopefully he just lost power.
Bad news I am afraid, I will miss him

Readovka Telegram channel, autotranslate:
Chilean stringer Gonzalo Lira was abducted and killed by Azov * – a military blogger covered the special operation from an undesirable side for Kyiv
It is reported that the American stringer Gonzalo Lira, who worked in Kharkov and held views contrary to the Kiev regime, was kidnapped and killed by Azov *. Not so long ago, the blogger stopped getting in touch – Gonzalo Lira published materials daily, but from April 15, for unknown reasons, he stopped doing this.
There is no official confirmation yet – information channels report this, as well as American military commentator Scott Ritter.
The lack of any proof from the Ukrainians and their toadies makes their claims of Gonzalo’s death suspect. They would show the body if he was dead and they had it.
Gonzalo Lira’s ace in the hole may be his family. They probably have connections to political decision makers. In the meantime, we should call the Chilean consulate in Kiev, and Embassy in Warsaw. The more pressure the better. Lots of rumors.Some say weird messages coming from his phone. If he went underground, he would have abandoned that tracking device. Others say neighbors saw the SBU take him. Who knows?
Ritter says Lira is dead… so s this confirmed?
Now same bad news in another Russian Telegram channel, Intel Slava Z:
https://t.me/intelslava/26133
As stated previously – we must wait for 100% confirmation on this. Mod.
The Telegram Channel Intel Slava Z, confirm the death of Gonzalo Lira. We are very sad about this bad news.
Gonzalo Lira has been tortured and killed by the Kraken battalion of the Ukrainian Nazis. I believe the Daily Beast will answer for this, as they clearly incited his murder. I believe that the Chilean government will get involved. If journalists’ unions and around the world say nothing, they are bankrupt as a profession.
If anyone from the Russian side happens to be reading this, make sure you capture his captors to the number and extent you can. Put them on trial—those that cooperate.
Gonzalo Lira tried to tell the truth. We don’t live in an age of truth.
Everyone – please stop posting these rumours and wait for 100% confirmation. Scott Ritter has stated on his telegram channel:
“A point of clarification—I have no direct evidence that Gonzalo has been killed. I was clear I was referring to “reports emerging” about his demise. But Gonzo said any disappearance of more than 12 hours should be treated as if something bad had happened to him. It’s been five days. If this had been a New York Times reporter disappearing in Russian controlled territory, it would be headline news—especially if a Chechen “hunter killer” team had taken credit for his death. But with Gonzo—silence. Which was the whole purpose of the post: to raise awareness about his disappearance.”
Any further will go to trash. Mod.

There was a post around noon time today on Telegram that Kharkov was totally without power. I am sorry I do not remember which account posted it but if I find it, I will share it. May we all pray that Gonzola is just in the dark right now.
Is this for real??:

Another obscure bit of information. The Sarah-thing seeming to claim involvement:
https://patriots.win/p/15HbgAJNom/tranny-who-helped-get-gonzalo-li/c/
Screenshot of a twitter post (Not by me, I don’t touch Twitter)
Telesur English has the following info in their ‘live blog’ about Russia and G7.
“Chile confirms that writer and filmmaker Gonzalo Lira is missing in Ukraine
Chilean-American writer and filmmaker Gonzalo Lira, who resides in Ukraine, lost contact with his acquaintances and relatives on April 15 and his current whereabouts are unknown, the Foreign Ministry of the South American country informed Sputnik Agency.
“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, through its Consult Section in Moscow, was informed that those close to Chilean Gonzalo Lira Lopez, who was in the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv (Kharkiv), lost contact with him since April 15,” the ministry said.
The Foreign Ministry explained that the Government is in contact with the relevant diplomatic entities to keep informed about any news on the writer’s whereabouts.
Before his disappearance, the writer made a series of comments on Twitter criticizing Vladimir Zelenski, which generated suspicions on social networks of the possible involvement of third parties in the matter.
Lira’s last tweet on March 26 was: “Want to know the truth about the Zelensky regime? Google these names Vlodymyr Struk, Denis Kireev, Mikhail and Aleksander Kononovich, Nestor Shufrych, Yan Taksyur, Dmitri Djangirov, Elena Berezhnaya; if you haven’t heard from me in 12 hours, put my name on the list.””

Telesur English is the english translations to the work of Telesur networks. Thus, there are probably Espanol versions on the Telesur proper site. The above is what that organzation has translated to English for us poorly educated hillbillies
Just to point out another likely player in pursuit of Lira. Most of those here have seen his YT on Nuland and the control of Maidan coup. Remember he emphasized a few things:
1- Nuland is obsessive micro-manager, so she is making decisions on a wide range of issues for her “project”
2- He made a point about women that don’t have children that would not sit well w her. Tho I sort of agree I imagine she would be furious!
3- she has contact w full Uki leadership/Azov/Banderites and they owe favors for what she orchestrated
4- Lira makes point about snipers deployed in Maidan and they were likely mercy’s from outside, directed by Nuland
So I’m thinking it is likely that Nuland has certainly added pressure to silence Lira in anyway possible!
I really hope the guy gets out somehow!!
Gonzalo Lira-Lopez is a con-man. He has used the Daily Beast item as a prompt to FAKE his own dissapearence, in order to seek attention & then fund-raise off the sympathy that is generated amongst his unfortunate followers. Mark my words..he has already predicted his 12 hour+ disappearance in the video above & is maintaining his absence to maximise the effect of his fake & deceptive narrative. He will miraculously re-appear soon, bragging of his escape from the arms of the Zelenskyy forces, to then collect his winnings from those of you who are stupid enough to believe this crap.
Have you been CoachRedPilled? :-)
He can still suffer some blowback… Playing with fire…
My spidey sense went off the first time I watched one of his podcasts. It’s now all abuzz. The story simply doesn’t add up.
