I used to have regular email correspondence with Gonzalo Lira over a decade ago. He was a regular contributor to TBP back in the day. I lost touch and only recently saw he was still writing and podcasting through The Vineyard of the Saker site. I hope he is OK, but I fear the worst from those Ukrainian freedom loving nazis that our government and media support.
Here is an article he wrote about Cheney back in 2011.
Guest Post by Mark Crispin Miller
“Our free press” hates dissidents as much as Ukraine’s Nazis do
Gonzalo Lira, the Chilean-American journalist/novelist/filmmaker, whose excellent commentaries on the Ukraine conflict (under the name Coach Red Pill) I’ve shared here, has disappeared. He has not been heard from for five days. Have the Nazis captured him? They surely would, as that is what they’ve done to many “traitors”; and Lira has been highly critical of their regime, offering reasonable analysis of Putin’s motives, and the actual success of Russia’s military operation.
Here is how the Nazis have been dealing with their enemies:
If he’s been kidnapped, and is under torture, or dead, you can blame the Daily Beast, as Lira himself has said. Watch this:
A good piece on the situation:

It would be bad enough if there were total silence over Lira’s fate. There has been no expression of concern about his welfare; and there are freaks all over “social media” now rejoicing over Lira’s disappearance—yet one more sign of the vast moral degradation caused by the flood-tide of hate-propaganda generated, and avidly absorbed, by liberals.
Whatever they think, those of us who still have democratic principles, including a belief that journalists (and that means not just “credentialed” members of the press, but anyone who seeks out, and reports, the news) should not be snatched and killed for what they tell us, must see Gonzalo Lira’s disappearance, and the barbarous response to it online, as a bad sign for all of us—as bad a sign as the ongoing detention/torture of Julian Assange, another journalist in dire condition for contradicting the official narrative.
From Scott Ritter (on Telegram):
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.

Nadezda Kuznetsova, Former Journalist at Московская правда:
“For those who are seeing strange activities on Telegram channels of the people who have disappeared in Ukraine and have been supposedly kidnapped by SBU or neo-Nazi formations, Ukrainian authorities can break into the Telegram account via the mobile operator if it is in Ukraine. They did it to many Ukrainian opposition members.
For instance, they have broken into and are now using Tatiana Montyan’s old verified account. ( The real Tatiana is now on the new, unverified channel.) She did apply to Pavel Durov and Telegram support team, so did thousands of her followers – no reaction.
And once again – they don’t need your mobile device or even password. As long as you are using a Ukrainian mobile net. So don’t be fooled seeing some unusual activity on Gonzalo Lira`s Telegram channel – it means… the activity is most likely not by him ”

(3) Where is Gonzalo Lira? Missing in Ukraine since 15th April – YouTube

https://t.me/neuesausrussland/4407
This post (in German) mentions Gonzalo Lira’s disappearance, in addition to the recent disappearance of the owner of a pro-Russian YouTube Channel “Europe’s Voice” (GolosEvropi). His last video was published April 2.

This video starring Zelensky adds to what a freak show Ukraine is. Nuts !!!

Ukraine is the epitome of the Cabal horror show, probably the epicenter, homeland of its depravity.
Putin obviously cut them deep.
Thanks for the vid, vile as it was, there are also gay porn rumors floating about, ill skip verification and safely assume the worst.
Gonzo had to know the score, look what these fucka do to children, his updates were gaining traction…
God bless his courage.
The first 3 innings were the scamdemic. It wrecked supply lines and guaranteed hyperinflation. Innings 4, 5, and 6 are going to be war and famine. What the final three innings bring us can only be speculation. It could be the complete collapse of Western Civilization or something even worse.
Going forward, anyone that speaks the truth becomes a target.
Pretty clear it’s going to be something more than we’ve been getting, it will have to be to push through the measures they want, but just what I’m not sure.
They’re already pushing famine big time and a market collapse would not be surprising, especially to push their digital $.
Maybe more than that.
Gotta throw cyber attack and bigger better riots in there.
He’s either dead or captured and wishing he was.
The fact a news organization would contact a government to inform on a journalist they don’t like tells you everything you need to know about that organization.
It’s all so tiresome.
The guy HAD TO HAVE an escape plan posting the kinds of videos he was posting.
He was literally daring the criminals to kill him — merely by espousing reasonable and right-minded commentary.
I think he got out.
Are you bipolar?
That made me laugh.
Because yesterday I said he dared psychos to kill him?
I also said something didn’t smell right about it. Since he was posting ‘kick the hornet nest’ posts while living in Ukraine, that makes him one of two things — imprudent in the extreme, or a man with an exit plan.
Where’s the inconsistency? I doubted the story that he called down thunder on himself without preparation for the obvious outcome.
It makes more sense that he always planned an escape, being perfectly aware of the inevitable outcome even a blind man could have seen.
Some Tranny from USA who is currently in Kharkov was threatening his life on twitter. I can’t remember it’s name. last name is Cirrillo, I think. Anyways this fake cunt is now threatening Patrick Lancaster who is currently reporting from Mariupol. I’m hoping that Cirrillo gets some comeuppance soon.
ed.
I found the twatter feed.
She’s a very low information retard… Chip
Retard alright!

I just read a large part of that and now have a stomach ache. Is there anything that is genuine anymore?
Turns out Ashton really is a cuntless cunt.
[Ashton-Cirillo, who completed her transition in August 2019, told The Daily Beast that being transgender had helped her float between different worlds. “Some people can’t comprehend the duality,” she said. “However, once you’ve fought through the pain and anguish of a gender transition, everything else is simple both mentally and physically. You lose the sense of fear and realize anything is possible.”]
Ashton-Cirillo transitioned to an abomination and the duality it has found is a couple frayed ends of insanity.
I think that makes it a bona fide, genuine cunt. Not a fake cunt!!!
And Lancaster tends to be surrounded by armed Russians, so good luck to any demoniac fake females setting their sights on that fella.
Russians know just what to do with these nutless pigs.
I completely agree Red River D! Lancaster is safe and sound. Anyone that might be interested in causing harm to him is gonna have bigger problems if they are anywhere close to where he is roaming right now.

Globohomoschlomo American Empire. See how the left wing globalist cabal is having a cow just because DeSantis is taking away Disney’s preferential treatment in FL on account of their insistence on child-grooming.
Exactly!
This sad saga is a perfect encapsulation of the rot and decay of the Western world. My hat is off to Gonzalo for being brave in the face of danger. He is a man! The abomination that is Cirillo is not.. not anything other than a cuntless cunt.
I am starting to like your term. But I like Globohomoschlomo banksters better.
He’s alive? Here is something out this morning that he supposedly tweeted from a new account. Says he made it out of Ukraine but doesn’t say where he’s at… Chip
Dude’s a Dartmouth grad.
“no longer save for someone like me”?
The f is above the v. Hardly out of the realm of possibility, especially while being shelled or some similar horrible thing.
http://www.Twitter.com/RealGonzaloLira01 doesn’t seem to exist. Probable bullshit.

Gonzo is alive in Belarus, see WRSA. He reports that UKE GOV hacked his telegram and that’s when he went to ground and headed north. Took him 5 days and some $$$ to GTFO UKR, but he made it. See his twitter acct for updates, including a photo of a display case at a gift shop where he is that has visible clues to his location.
No doubt it was a close call, but this guy is a survivor of deadly environments, so likely true!
I will await a good story and see if it passes the test… one he would insist upon, I think.
UKE gov hacked Gonzalo‘s telegram, but posted nothing there to smear him?
Sounds plausible.
UPDATE: Gonzalo is OK, he has reappeared
He has no access to his phone, computer, or socials. Says to ignore any accounts claiming to be him because of that, for now. (Or any posts that appeared on his old accounts after April 15, 1PM local time, until now.)
Please keep us posted, hoping he’s safe and gets back to you soon to provide us an update!
I wonder what changed in the world in 2010/2011 that caused news agencies to stop sending out war correspondents.
Especially after they’d been so popular in the post-9/11 frenzy. Remember when every invasion had its own embedded journalist? Remember when Geraldo got banned from the front for revealing tactical information?
Did the general public get bored with the bombs of war? Perhaps, but what they really have very little tolerance for is genuine suffering of people who seem very much like themselves, only left homeless and hungry in a chaotic battlefield that was once their homeland.
I watched Patrick Lancaster try to find some water for an old man tending his wife, dying in their apartment recently bombed. Ukrainian forces (Azovstal) had been firing from their building, hiding amongst the civilians.
How about that Third Amendment now?
I posted a comment here with a link to the interview Gonzola did with Scott Ritter, thinking it quite well-done and informative. I suspect that was one of the last things he posted, since Ritter’s own comments indicate he believes Gonzola to be dead at the hands of Ukrainians.
I actually posted a link to that interview on Dmitry Orlov’s private blog and it was the last thing I posted there other than an apology for doing so… it pinched a nerve.
There’s something happening here, isn’t there?
Where is Nolan Peterson? (Not implying anything but really hoping he’s still around)
RIP
I enjoyed his last bit of work. At least he spoke common sense and truth to power. Can’t speak to Coach Red Pill or any of the other careers he had, but the last few weeks of posting from inside Ukraine were impressive.
Sadly, fuck with the bull, you get the horns.
I pray he is not in peril. I don’t know him but did exchange emails a few times years back on a Gold message board. He wrote some good stuff regarding precious metals. I think he told me he lived in South America?
Chile… I followed him off and on and recently, very much ON. I think he was asking all the right questions in some of the wrong places.
So… has GL turned up in Belarus?
