From the article: “The case of US journalist Gonzalo Lira, who died in a Ukrainian prison last week, shows that Ukraine has nothing in common with our values,“ MEP Bernhard Zimniok said in the EU Parliament today. “He was arrested repeatedly for his critical reporting on Ukraine’s leadership, tortured severely, and suffered from double pneumonia for the last three months. He was nonetheless denied medical treatment, leading to his death at the age of 55. I call for an independent investigation of his case led by the OSCE (Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe) and an immediate end to all support for the corrupt state of Ukraine,” Zimniok said.

Her grandpa was a Nazi. She was busy speaking to Klaus Schwab whose dad was a Nazi. And Lira was killed by her Ukrainian Nazis. Of course she approves.

“US journalist Gonzalo Lira, who died in a Ukrainian prison last week”

The Ukes need to man up. It took them nearly 2 years to denazify that clown.

Nice democratic institutions with suspended elections and killing of those who question the narrative of the Ukrainian regime.

This is political grandstanding. Lira died in a prison hospital, from pneumonia in both lungs, from smoking a pack or two of cigarettes a day for years. He was often holding a cigarette in his videos.

He was in that hospital because he returned to Ukraine. The fact that he returned to Ukraine means he left Ukraine and came back. He left because he was caught spying for Russia and self deported. Then on his round table pretended he was in Kharkiv he was really living in the Netherlands.

Notwithstanding where he really was before going back to Ukraine, the fact that his returning to Ukraine after leaving is not a problem for his supporters is confusing to me. But then I don't trust bad liars or spend my time watching stopped clocks for the few times they are right. So I guess the answers to these questions will confuse me as well.

Who is going to investigate his death, on what evidence, in what way, in a war zone? Also, investigations tend to get evidence going more than one way.

Won’t happen.

We live in a world where a nations “justice department” is an oxymoron. These government organizations pick and choose what they enforce, how, and when and some individuals rights are completely unimportant.

This guy is a US citizen and a journalist and our awesome DOJ and FBI will do NOTHING.

Just like they didn’t do anything after Kashoggi (Saudi Arabia is to economically important for the US): https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-45812399

Just like they won’t do anything to dozens of guys that had sexual relations with under age girls, Epstein (these are the political and economic elite, the oligarchs that are in part running the country): https://www.bbc.com/news/topics/cl7003r72r4t

BUT... if you protested on January 6, 2021 in Washington DC, they will devote a huge part of the FBI to go through meta data and using cell phones identify everyone that was there (Geo-locate), they will look at airline and bank data (airline tickets and bank usage), even use facial recognition in a massive database they have created to identify everyone and pay them a visit.

Justice in the West et al. has become not much unlike it was in the former East block when the wall was still up. It doesn’t enforce the laws and isn’t guided by some higher foundational law such as a Constitution. It’s political, economic interests have a say, it’s highly inconsistent, and your rights as an individual matter little.

This is an “Animal Farm” with a bogus Constitution, the pigs which in reality run it, and the dogs (so called justice) that make sure things run according to the pigs direction. But that’s not something kids read today.

Ukraine is a nation the pigs wanted in the EU. They didn’t ask any citizen of Germany, France, Italy, what they think, nope the pigs decided that. The pigs also wanted Ukraine in NATO, since this organization provides the physical security for the capital and investments in Ukraine but it also gives the US a say since our primary influence in Europe is through security matters, i.e. NATO. No one asked the average American what they wanted, heck they never even ran it through Congress. The pigs just decided: https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/ukrainian-president-zelenskiy-holding-talks-with-biden-adviser-says-2021-12-09/ And what that means for the Russians? F them.

But since the pigs own the media, and they own big tech, and the government more or less works for them (politicians and the political parties need money and media coverage), they get what they want. Ukraine has nothing to worry about unless they lose the favor of the pigs. If you want to know who the pigs are, just look at Davos and see who attends. If the pigs no longer see a value in Ukraine, then this place is finished and that is what we’re beginning to see. Once the pigs no longer stand to gain and Ukraine becomes a pure economic and political liability, they will get dropped and that’s what’s starting to happen.

But while Ukraine has a value, they can ban opposition parties, shut down radio stations, cancel elections, use their police and intel service in the most draconian manner imaginable against any political resistance, throw journalists in prison, assassinate an opposition party head, mass censor their Internet and print media, psyop the crap out of everyone, and you’ll have Facebook in the West allowing neo Nazi material to be posted in support of the greater cause which we’re ironically told is in part about “democracy:” https://theintercept.com/2022/02/24/ukraine-facebook-azov-battalion-russia/
