About to cross the border:
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Thanks for posting these.
I tend to believe Gonzolo Lira and certainly hope he has not been (apparently) imprisoned again.
Thatās 90%, one could say.
My 10% more skeptical brain raises questions, such as why heās allowed to have a twitter account, or to post on youtube. I had two anti covid psy op songs taken down by YouTube in less than two hours, maybe faster than that, back in August 2021.
I was also suspended for a month by twitter back in 2021.
But Iāve watched a lot of Lira videos and for that reason alone I give him support in my minuscule way.
Good luck Gonzolo!

Not good news:
^ I can further affirm that
was stopped on the Ukrainian side of the border from crossing and has since disappeared, now for more than 24 hours. That is the last that anyone has heard from him.

Scott Ritter says Lira is controlled by the Ukrainian Secret Services, if you go to Ritterās twitter youāll see a lot about this, here he explains his point of view
Go to the 4:50 in the clip
Curiouser and curiouser! Do you have a link to Ritterās Twitter on this? All I can find is his old stuff.
Below, Alexander Mercouris from 2nd August on his friend Gonzalo Lira - no mention of what Scott Ritter has said.
First 12 minutes of progamme:
The MSM seems to have almost completely blanked the story. RT from 2nd August:
And this also from 2nd August from MSN of all places
MSN: Scratched my left eye with toothpick, cracked rib: US-Chilean journalist describes torture in Ukrainian prison
Ritter has had quite an exchange with vocal Lira supporter Brian Berletic another former USA military who is now a leading military analyst.
Hmm. Coach Red Pill stinks regardless. At the very minimum, chap is a social media grifter.
But Iād like to focus on the accuser. Am sure Iāve mentioned this before, but Ritter seems to be building a brand. It could just be that over achiever thing yanks have, but my spider sense is tingling. The old Iām an expert and so you donāt know what I know is not a good look nowadays, which adds to my suspicions.
Then thereās good old Le Carre. He had a maxim about never really leaving intelligence once you joined. Can you trust Ritter because of his background? He is a good source, but maybe itās about what he isnāt telling us?
Going back to Lira, either heās a fool or heās an asset. And Iām inclined to believe the former. What would you have done after the first disappearance by spooks? Stayed for more in a warzone or as one Shepherd said to the other Shepherd, āLetās get the flock outta here!ā? Exactly.
The next clue towards his stupidity is his appearance. He has not spent the last few months as an asset, and Iām inclined to believe his stories of torture. Another slice of dumbass was his plan/blabbing (money!!!). Moron should have gone to many embassies before trying to covertly cross the border.
TL:DR Lira is a fart wafter
Impossible to know at this point isnāt it? I watched quite a few of his videos, starting when he was promoted on the now offline Saker site, so simply for that reason I hope he escapes seeing as how I āused his servicesā and learned some things by listening to him. He was a clever and articulate commentator. Didnāt hide his pro Pinochet views, etc. He apparently knew how to make money as an internet personality.
āAs a father itās unbearable not to know where your son is,ā says Gonzalo Lira Sr after his boy has once again disappeared into a Ukrainian dungeon
Yes, I hope so. The US could get him out of there just by snapping their fingers. Why donāt they? Assuming Gonzalo really is there of courseā¦
Gonzalo Lira is seriously ill with double pneumonia in a Ukie dungeon His father believes he is still being tortured.

Thanks for posting this unfortunately grim update
Even though I was expecting this it feels like a kick in the guts. Zelensky & Biden - either of them could have freed him in an instant. They did nothing and let him die in a dungeon. I cannot imagine how his poor family are feeling.
His videos are still on YT:

To think this is the supposed brave new democratic world that maybe 1/2m Ukrainians have been sacrificed for.
