TASS:
The US Department of State has confirmed the accuracy of data about the death of reporter Gonzalo Lira, a citizen of Chile and the US, in prison in Ukraine.
“We can confirm the death of a U.S. citizen in Ukraine. We offer our sincerest condolences to the family on their loss,” a representative of the Department of State told a TASS correspondent in response to a request to comment on the information that Lira died in jail.
“We stand ready to provide all appropriate consular assistance. Out of respect to the family during this difficult time, we have no further comment,” the official added.
Earlier US journalist Tucker Carlson said, citing Lira’s father, that the reporter, who was detained by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), has died in prison.
His death has been reported at various times throughout the NATO war in Ukraine. However, this time, it seems as if though the reports are true. The irredeemably corrupt US/EU/NATO-imposed sock puppet regime in Kiev has tortured and murdered a US citizen for the crime of speaking freely.
At no point was Gonzalo Lira “pro-Putin,” as he is routinely disparaged by the fake news media Establishment. In the earliest days of the war, his commentary was indispensable. He told it like it is. But the truth has never been on the side of the bloodthirsty chickenhawk ideologues who decided to plunge the world into this war. They had to silence him. The Biden Administration did absolutely nothing to save his life.
I had never heard of Gonzalo Lira until 2022. His “Coach Red Pill” stuff was not for me. After the Russian invasion, I made sure I listened to every word he had to say, though. One thing that I noticed about him was his sense of purpose, or duty. Simply stated, he always knew that he was going to be tortured and murdered for speaking the truth. He continued speaking the truth regardless. And now he is dead.
Gonzalo Lira should be given every award that exists for journalism. But he will never be acknowledged as a journalist by the fake news media Establishment, which continues to vilify him and justify his torture/murder, while clamoring for more billions of dollars to be given to support Ukrainian “democracy.”
Rest in peace, Gonzalo Lira.
