More blood on both Zelensky and Biden’s hands
Gonzalo Lira, an American citizen and journalist of Chilean descent who had been exposing corruption in Ukraine, has reportedly died while in the custody of Ukrainian forces.
Some of the topics Lira covered included Hunter Biden’s corrupt business operations in Ukraine and how they were tied to the country’s puppet president Volodymyr Zelensky and the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion.
According to Tucker Carlson, Lira’s father confirmed his son recently passed away in a Ukrainian prison where he “was being held for the crime of criticizing the Zelensky and Biden governments.”
“Gonzalo Lira was an American citizen, but the Biden administration clearly supported his imprisonment and torture. Several weeks ago we spoke to his father, who predicted his son would be killed,” Carlson wrote on social media.
The journalist died after a “nearly three-month battle with pneumonia” that was ignored by his captors, according to his dad.
Carlson just released an interview with Lira’s father in December:
Elon Musk questioned why any American citizen was sitting in a Ukrainian prison while Biden sent the corrupt European nation billions of dollars.
The father, Gonzalo Lira Sr., also provided a statement to The Grayzone after learning of his son’s death, saying, “I cannot accept the way my son has died. He was tortured, extorted, and incommunicado for 8 months and 11 days, and the US Embassy did nothing to help my son. The responsibility of this tragedy is the dictator Zelensky, with the concurrence of a senile American president, Joe Biden.”
In one of the last videos Lira uploaded to the internet before being caught by the Ukrainian Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), the journalist described his experience in a Ukraine prison.
In August 2023, Lira was re-captured by the SBU after just being released from the three-month jail sentence he referred to in the video above.
The journalist was trying to escape Ukraine when he was caught by the Ukrainian military.
When he was abducted by the Ukrainian military, its transgender spokesperson “Sarah” Ashton-Cirillo bragged about the arrest in a bizarre press video.
A spokesman for the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) claimed Lira was arrested for violating Ukrainian law as he “systematically justified” Russia’s actions in Ukraine and “disseminated pro-Russian views on his social media accounts.”
Another accusation was that he “also claimed that the Ukrainian Armed Forces were shelling their own territory, while a neo-Nazi regime reigned in Ukraine,” which is absolutely factual.
A reporter with The Grayzone asked a U.S. State Department spokesperson about Lira’s status after he was disappeared by the SBU, but the Biden administration official refused to comment.
The journalist also pointed out it would be concerning if one of America’s closest allies was torturing one of its citizen journalists.
Well, now it appears America’s “ally” may have killed a citizen journalist.
The Grayzone‘s Max Blumenthal accurately summed up the tragic story, writing, “Gonzalo Lira was jailed by Ukraine’s post Maidan regime for speaking against its war effort. He was a US citizen left to languish and die by Ukraine’s main patron in Washington and is now apparently dead. Another crime by the authoritarian Zelensky-Biden cartel.”
Several popular political commentators, journalists and 𝕏 accounts paid their respects to Lira online Friday:
