Blood on Baizuo Hands? Where is American Journalist Gonzalo Lira?

Yesterday I posted: Ukranian Forces Capture Journalist. The Nazi (I do not use this word as a pejorative, they are quite literally Nazis) captured independent journalist Gonzalo Lira. Now there are unconfirmed reports/rumors of his murder.

Scott Ritter:

When Belorussian authorities pulled Roman Protasevich, a blogger who had served a combat tour in the neo-Nazi Azov battalion before working for Radio Free Europe’s Belarus channel out of Prague, off an airplane in May, 2021, on charges of inciting a political opposition (roughly the equivalent of sedition), the world went crazy, accusing Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko of trampling on free speech. Protasevich is alive and well, living under house arrest while awaiting trial.

When reports emerged that Gonzo Lira, a Chilean social media “influencer” who resided in Kharkov, Ukraine, and who published online content critical of the Ukrainian government, was kidnapped, tortured, and murdered by the Kraken Unit, part of the Azov battalion affiliated with the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU), the West is silent.

Free speech isn’t a one way street. To remain silent in the murder of Gonzo Lira is to be complicit in his death, and the deaths of all journalists who pursue the truth, even if it runs counter to the mainstream narrative. Critical thinking should not be a death sentence. Unfortunately for Gonzo Lira, it seems it was.

He later posted:
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.

This is what The Daily Beast wrote about Lira: How a Sleazy American Dating Coach Became a Pro-Putin Shill in Ukraine. We know who that media outlet serves, it's right in their name. We also know who Zelensky, the Baizuo ruling class in the West and the Azov battalion serve. 

I do not know that Putin serves the same master, at least there is no clear evidence yet. Stalin was considered a good guy in WWII, but new evidence shows he might have initiated the war with Germany. He was the aggressor seeking westward expansion, who manipulated Hitler into initiating conflict. Maybe Putin is playing a similarly deep game against the West. It's possible because the Baizuo were so openly anti-Russia and instigating troubles in Ukraine that they make the perfect patsies. As with Hitler and WWII, maybe there are no good guys on either side, with the only innocents being the civilians caught in the crossfire. 

At this point it doesn't matter though. An American journalist is missing. Where is he? What are Western governments doing to find him?
