Gonzalo Lira Was Abandoned to His Death

There is no other way to read this.

Lira’s death raised me from my coma. Prior to that, I was down with a bad case of sinusitis and unable to procure any decent painkillers for like a week. I had a stabbing pain behind my left eye that only dulled down as of 6 hours ago and a never-ending up and down fever to boot. I’m a bit embarrassed to be sick, because it means that I have been unhealthy in my lifestyle choices and I am being punished for my own stupidity and for my weaknesses. I blame the stress of New Year’s and the drinking I was doing to mark the occasion. Actually, I got sinusitus for the first time in Georgia, after being run out of Minsk, where I just couldn’t shake it for a month. Last time though, I was pressured into trying out a Georgian doctor because they apparently have good reputations. Poppycock! It turns out their approach is identical to the Soviet approach or to the Western approach, which is just shoving antibiotics down the patients’ throat. They didn’t work then, except to make me puke for 2 days to boot as my body tried to get rid of the antibiotics. Anyway, I resolved to take my health more seriously from that point on if for nothing else than to spite the pill-pushers and their adoring sycophants, but, well, here I am, again.

So that’s why I haven’t been writing — my head’s been hurting.

As for why Lira hadn’t been vlogging, it is because he has been arrested and slowly dying of respiratory illnesses while in a Ukrainian dungeon. Tucker Carlson confirmed his recent passing away on Twitter.

Now, let me just get the emotional stuff out of the way first. I feel for Lira and his family. Maybe it is because I am sick as a dog as well that I’m feeling this way. But I genuinely do feel horrified at the fact that he was essentially allowed to die a slow death of oxygen deprivation from his pneumonia. Horrible stuff. Probably with no painkillers as well.

As an aside, that’s the only good thing these pill-pushing quacks are any good for and its giving prescriptions to powerful drugs. Only, in the FSU, last I checked, you can’t get any decent painkillers stronger than Ibuprofen. People who needed stronger stuff would have to turn to the streets to get heroin. Maybe that’s better than the synthetic stuff like Tramadol though, I don’t know. More natural.

But maybe it’s better now.

Another feature of FSU life are the free-for-all prisons.

In there, you can buy or barter anything. Like an RPG adventure. It is an entire almost self-contained world within a world. Prisoners take vacations from their sentences for holidays, if they’ve got the right connections, that is. I doubt Lira could have enjoyed some of the finer elements of prison life on account of the fact that he didn’t speak either Ukrainian or Russian and because he was a political prisoner. Political prisoners get treated like real prisoners while criminals though, they can do whatever pretty much.

You can almost say that criminals are a necessary part of any functioning modern society. Criminals are actually model citizens because they are totally at the mercy and control of the modern state, which likes to use them like hyenas on a chain to threaten the rest of society. The only real way to deal with crime is to eliminate it entirely. But if crime were eliminated, the boot on the throat of ordinary peoples’ throats would be lifted somewhat and we can’t have that now can we!?

Who was sent into Donbass by Kiev to terrorize the locals there? Freed convicts given guns by the oligarchs and/or the spooks. What was one of the first measures that the Bolsheviks took upon seizing Petrograd? They declared that all of Russia’s prisoners would be unleashed on the population. Who else could you use in human meat waves to take Bakhmut? Why did Gorbachev release all those ZEKs when he was launching his reform revolution against the USSR?

Point being: the only real prisoners in the Slavlands are usually political prisoners.

And Lira is not the only person to have been arrested for … having the wrong opinions, essentially. Not even close. A recent story was passed along to me that also wrenched at my gut. An 82-year-old Afghan war vet was catfished into committing an act of treason by Kiev. Here:

In Ukraine, 82-year-old warrior-internationalist Yuri Ivanovich Chernyshev from Zhitomir was sentenced to 15 years in prison. At the trial, instead of the last word, Yuri Ivanovich read poems addressed to his tormentors.

The Afghan is accused of collecting information about military facilities, the location of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and transferring this data to the Russian army.

It turns out he only thought he was transferring the information to the Russians when in reality he had been feeding information to a clever dragnet SBU counter-operation!

Since January 1980 to December 1981 - Chief of Artillery Intelligence of the 40th Army. Participated in 17 combat operations. Awarded the Order of the Red Star. Dismissed to the reserve in August 1991. He took up journalism, published in a number of Kyiv and Zhytomyr newspapers, and the Moscow magazine "Army". In 2002 published a collection of Afghan memoirs, stories and essays "Shuravi", in 2006 - a collection "Fire on Yourself", in 2009 - an epic novel-trilogy "No Peace", in 2013 - a historical novel "Millstone". Member of the Interregional Union of Writers of Ukraine. In September 2014 - the literary collection “Blood of Same”, which included works of various genres - essays “Silent Ukrainian Night”, “Life in Borenye”, “Peak Interest”, “Officer’s Honor”, essays “The Genius of the Russian Word”, “The Beautiful Don Quixote”, “Field Marshal from Polka Dots”, etc.

Considering Yuri Ivanovich’s age, this is a death sentence for him, his only hope is Russia!

I appeal to all admins of friendly tg channels and subscribers of the PravdaShuravi channel! Share this post as much as possible! Let as many people as possible learn about the Afghan warrior, a true patriot of Russia, doomed by the Ukrainian Reich to certain death! Maybe he will be included in the exchange lists and we will all save him from inevitable death in the dungeons of the Ukrainian fascists!

What is worse, he was sentenced by a she-judge. If you watch the video, the old vet actually cries out in pain and disbelief at hearing that his fate is being sealed by this *********************************. Excuse me, but, words fail me when confronted with such monstrous evil. It could be me getting read a lecture on how I’m a bad little boy by Big Momma some day. It could be you too. Memorize this face:

Friends and casual readers, this is the face of monstrous, chthonic, chaotic evil. The Primordial Annihilator. The closest and most accurate interpretation of the devil that we have recourse to on his plane of doubt and tears — a middle-aged frumpy woman with problem? glasses and a d*** haircut. And this is who she sentenced:

Perseus has been supplanted and Medusa now rules in his place. Big Momma OWNS you, slave!

But all is not lost! Pro-Russia prisoners have just to wait for Russia to rescue them, right? Well, wrong. Sure, the soldiers are usually swapped out and even then not all and not right away. But not political dissidents, oh no.

And, interestingly, during this war on Satanism, Ramzan Kadyrov is able to conduct his own unilateral negotiations on the sidelines, swapping out anyone he likes and making what amounts to separate peace deals. #ChechenPrivilege. Here:

The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, proposed that the United States lift sanctions from his relatives in exchange for Ukrainian prisoners; he handed over the list of prisoners to former American intelligence officer Scott Ritter, who arrived in Grozny the day before, RIA Novosti reports.

Ritter, eh?

Funny that he should be mentioned, let alone in the context of being Kadyrov’s messenger pigeon. All that aside, let us first point out that Ritter is clearly working for at least the Russian FSB at this point. I mean, it is simply beyond doubt. One doesn’t get to hang out with Kadyrov and go on side-quests to get sanctions lifted without the FSB knowing and green-lighting such an operation. Nor does one get a state-sponsored country tour like he did. Just take my word for it, he’s a spook asset and has been for some time. I really haven’t got the energy to belabor the obvious this time. I’m running out of steam and bed beckons with promises of another night of sweating and tossing and turning.

…

Now, when Lira was freed temporarily and then arrested again, Ritter came out to denounce Lira. Here is what he said at the time:

“Anyone who has ever uttered or written a word that runs counter to the official Ukrainian narrative is, in the mind of Ukraine, an “infoterrorist.”

Ukraine is at war with “infoterrorists.”

As such, those practitioners of free speech who run afoul of Ukraine’s expansive definition of “infoterrorism” are combatants in this conflict, whether you want to be or not. And in war, the individual doesn’t matter. People are mere tools, to be deployed as needed, used, and discarded when no longer useful.

Chronologically, Lira’s arrest followed on the heels of the CCD’s publication of its mission statement regarding “infoterrorism.” There can be no doubt that Gonzalo Lira fell into the category of “infoterrorism” as far as Ukraine was concerned, as did anyone who collaborated with him.

This is a critical point that must be understood by anyone following Lira’s saga—in the eyes of the Ukrainians, he is an enemy combatant, not an individual with rights. He is a terrorist. Enemy combatants/terrorists are either eliminated or turned into a tool to be used to further the fight against “infoterrorists.”

When Gonzalo Lira was released by the SBU in April 2022, he was not the person he was when he had been arrested. That person was neutralized in Ukraine’s war on “infoterrorism.” Gonzalo Lira’s every move was, and is, controlled by the SBU to assist them in their larger information war against other “infoterrorists.”

If the many people who interacted with Gonzalo Lira, both before and after his April 2022 arrest, do not recognize this reality, then they are playing directly into the hands of the Ukrainian security services, because Gonzalo Lira is a Ukrainian weapon being used as part of a larger information operation being waged against everyone in the alternative media universe who produces content Ukraine might consider running counter to its goals and objectives in its conflict with Russia.”

Also, Eve Bartlett accused Lira of being an SBU asset as well, probably taking her cue from Ritter. And who was Ritter taking his cue from? Well, from his handlers, of course.

So, let’s speculate together some more then and ask ourselves: what was the significance of Ritter denouncing Lira while Lira was in SBU custody? The answer is so bleeding obvious if you just let yourself consider it for a moment.

Look: Ritter labelled Lira a spook to get Moscow off the hook for having to save him.

That’s the real story here.

Moscow did not come galloping to his rescue even though Lira was unabashedly pro-Putin. The Kremlin does. not. care. about. you. The Z-scene is to be used and then discarded, eventually. Once the negotiations are done, they will need ZAnon to spin it as a W no matter what and then they will cut the cord until next time. Toodles and thanks for playin’, sucka!

Political prisoners are up a creek with no paddle.

Just think of how rare and exceptional these kinds of swaps are. Remember Grimey Griner?

I think the only lesson learned from that story was that Russia ought to start taking quadroons prisoner en masse, but alas, we never saw the FSB adopt such a policy. I think ol’ Grimey probably offended the oligarch running the money laundering operation known as “Women’s Basketball in Russia” and he asked his FSB friends to arrest her. No, seriously, read up on how much money the Kremlin spends on inviting American basketball players to come play to empty stadiums in Russia and start scratching your head a bit.

As for why Bout was released, it is an enduring mystery.

Perhaps it was thought that he’d end up becoming a kind of Prigozhin figure in his own right by the CIA. He has been silent since he got back to Russia. Wagner were his people and Wagner was eliminated by the Kremlin. Full disclosure though: I don’t know the true and full Bout story, yet.

But back to Lira.

Obviously, I think Lira was wrong in most of his “reporting” in that he mostly did editorializing and that it was very very wrong, like all the time. It didn’t help that he didn’t speak either Ukrainian or Russian, but what did help is that he told Westerners disaffected with Joe Brandon what they wanted to hear. Lira got very big very fast because of the editorial positions that he took. It was also useful to the narrative of the faction within the US that wants to still use Russia against China at some point in the future. Think Kissinger or Tucker or Macgregor. People like that.

Also, I believe that he was thrown to the wolves by both Moscow and Washington for sharing his opinions on things, essentially.

The moral of this story is that ordinary people are not allowed to have political opinions, really.

Unless you have a powerful Krisha over your head, know that you put your life on the line by sharing your political opinions with a large audience. Such things are not tolerated in Liberal Democracies like the West or the East, which rely so heavily on being being able to manufacture mass-consent to continue their power systems. But the East still needs to rely on older and more brutal methods to stamp out dissent. They’re not as elegant as their Western cousins. Jack-booted, leather coat-wearing gangsters from the local shtetl are still employed as terror agents against the peasantry. A lot of Ukrainians have been silenced or disappeared as well over the last years. Few of them were even pro-Russian so much as they were Zelensky-critical.

Unlike the Gongadze scenario though, no one is out protesting over them.

So, there you have it then.

The entire Lira saga was strange though. His multiple arrests. His attempt to flee. All of it. Perhaps we will have to revisit this story.

Until then though, RIP Gonzalo Lira and condolences to his family.

People shouldn’t be thrown into holes to die because they like sharing their opinions on the internet and essentially dissing public figures like Zelensky. Lira wasn’t hurting any Ukrainian by sharing fairytales about huge Z-offensives to encircle Odessa or whatever. He was just having fun with his Western audience and making some coin on the side. No different than someone playing a tabletop game like Dungeons and Dragons or Warhammer 40K with their hobbyist enthusiast friends. I doubt even one Ukrainian even listened to his content, let alone any Russians. And even if they did, so what? Freedom of speech. I know it doesn’t exist for people that the spooks and oligarchs don’t like, but still. We should at least force them to be honest about murdering us instead of pretending that it’s just “the Invisible Hand” sweeping away loud troublemakers for them or something.

But I suppose mass torture and death is a small price to pay for living under a glorious Liberal Democracy Human Rights Values Freedom system.

Just ask Strelkov over in Russia. He’s still in prison and will be for an indefinite amount of time. What will be his ultimate fate? We hear that his health has worsened as well. Funny enough, both Strelkov and Lira made fun of each other online.

There’s probably something to be said about peasant solidarity. A lesson to be learned here. One about closing ranks and not being mercenaries for hire for one clique of oligarchs against the other in their info-wars and real wars. When the big folks play, the little people get crushed. But that’s a whole other essay for another time.
