This was a long time coming. Lira is going to get what he deserves. Some background information on him. I've pieced this together mostly from a youtuber going by "Lazerpig" who is a interested, unusually, and frequently foul mouthed character. Take with as many grains of salt as you like.

There is a reason Gonzalo Lira was arrested last year in Ukraine. He was spying for Russia by taking photographs of Ukrainian military positions around Kharkiv and getting paid for it by Russia. When he was caught, he made a plea deal and gave up five Russian agents. The deal was he was under house arrest and would be prosecuted after the war, or he could leave Ukraine. After a while the fear of the FSB got to him and he self deported to Poland, then the Netherlands.

For most of the last year, while he was pretending he was live streaming in Kharkiv, he was actually in the Netherlands. During one of his live streams where he was claiming he was in Kharkiv, Kharkiv was under full blackout. There was no electricity. He could not possibly be in Kharkiv. During his infamous online debate with "Destiny" and "lazerpig" he let it slip he was living in the Netherlands.

While he was pretending to live in Kharkiv, he was one of the more well known of the online pro-Russian crowd. You are known by the company you keep, anyone? To be arrested in Ukraine, he had to return to Ukraine. Maybe the fear of the FSB convinced him he would be safer under arrest in Ukraine, than walking on the streets in the Netherlands?

As I have pointed out more than once, for ten years, he has invented and reinvented his online presence as a fake economist, website thief, fake dating and pick up guru, fake MGTOW, fake alt-right, fake anti-globalist, fake pro-Russia, and fake international political expert. He is whatever he needs to be to pander to a small, disaffected segment of the internet for notoriety and make a quick buck from it.

TLDR: He's a online con artist and scammer who is finally getting what he deserves.

Thanks for doing your part to make conservatives part of the “Stupid Party”. Lira is a online conman and scammer.

Those opposing US aid to Ukraine are his marks. Who the pro-Russian camp picks as their experts and frontmen reflects on them.

Don't like it? Find someone better.

[Widget Jr]

I know. Depressing, isn't it?

Lira is going to get what he deserves.

Spoken like a true neocon fascist.

Check our local "free speech" backers here on FR.

Gonzalo Lira was fortunate that Gidget here didn't con him into a back room at the local US consulate...

“Don’t like it? Find someone better.”

Actually, taking a quick look at his site, he seems pretty damn good:

Thanks again for letting us know about him!

This guy is a supporter of the Ukie death list, and is posting stuff from Ukie propagandist Julia Davis of The Daily Beast With Two Backs, an ultra-Left Media slime machine.

We’re going to hear from the “what about freedom of speech” crowd.

Never mind that freedom of speech does not encompass advocating for the enemy in times of war.

neocon fascist

You keep using those words. I do not think they mean what you think they mean.

[Its All Over Except ...]

So pro 1A Americans should celebrate he being arrested?

[kiryandil]

Never mind that freedom of speech does not encompass advocating for the enemy in times of war.

Gonzalo Lira is not a Ukrainian citizen.

He's an American and Chilean dual citizen.

[kiryandil]

You're in bed with Julia Davis.

It means exactly what I said.

[kiryandil]

So pro 1A Americans should celebrate he being arrested?

Nah - Gidget and the other neoconneds are celebrating that Lira is on the Myrotvorets death list.

They want to see garbage bags like the ones Khashoggi got carried out in.

[cabojoe]

He knew he was on that list but continued anyways. It’s sorta like the list that the war cheerleaders around here generated.

This was a long time coming. Lira is going to get what he deserves.

Your ideology is horrific. Fortunately, like in the 1940s, it's going to all come crashing down on you.
