Daily Stormer The Most Censored Publication in History
I am glad the Coach is still alive. I never had a problem with the guy. Some people said he talked a bunch of shit about me, but a lot of people try to do that to try to get me to respond so they can get more popular. I can actually respect that – I did it to people bigger than me when I was not the biggest celebrity on the internet.
That said, the fact he got kidnapped by the SBU isn’t exactly surprising. He was living in the Ukraine going around talking about how it was a totally lawless authoritarian country where people just get kidnapped constantly. And really, there was no reason for him to be living there after a certain point – he wasn’t really doing “on the ground” type reporting after he’d established himself as an expert. He was sort of just streaming from his apartment.
So, you take risks, and things happen. That’s life. You have to gauge these risks. I’m not going to cry for a grown man who makes risky decisions and ends up facing consequences he knew were on the table.
You won’t catch me living in the United States saying the things I say about that government, I can tell you that much. I believe in things, and I believe in fighting for the things I believe, but I do not believe in taking stupid risks for little or no gain. Again, I’m not against adult men choosing to take those kinds of risks. These are the decisions we make as adults.
Honestly, the fact he got kidnapped and tortured makes him a bigger celebrity, and I’m not sure that wasn’t part of the plan from the beginning.
Again, I’m not saying anything bad about the guy, I’m just talking about the situation. Everyone makes decisions, everyone takes risks, everyone gauges whether or not those risks are worth the potential benefit.
Frankly, the fact they didn’t kill him really means the gambit paid off.
I’m glad he made it. He’s always been a fun internet personality.
This thread was a bit long through, I thought.
Right now, I’m about to try to get out of Ukraine, and seek political asylum in Hungary.
Either I’ll cross the border and make it to safety, or I’ll be disappeared by the Kiev regime.
This is what’s happened to me over the past three months.

Attached to these tweets is the full indictment against me, both the original Ukrainian and English translation.
As you can see, even the prosecutor admits I committed no crime against property or any person. And I certainly provided no aid or intelligence to the Russians.

Once arrested, I was given documentation assuring me that I was “guaranteed the right” to contact my lawyers and loved ones, as well as post bail.
In fact, I was blocked from calling anyone—even my lawyers. And I was not permitted to post bail—though I had the cash to do so.

That’s why they relentlessly persecute anyone who tells the truth about this war. I’m not the only so-called “propagandist” the Kiev regime has thrown in prison.
It’s also why they shoot any AFU soldier who dares retreat. That’s why the AFU losses are so horrific—but hidden.

Once inside Sizo Prison, I was tortured in two of the four cells I was in—by the other prisoners. Guards NEVER beat prisoners—they outsource torture to the other prisoners.
One prisoner actually apologized to me, telling me he had no choice. He wasn’t lying. I understood.

I’ve taken a beating in my time. So sure, it hurt like hell, but it was manageable—but then at one point, two thugs held my head and used a toothpick to scratch the whites of my left eye, while asking me if I could still read if I had just one.
ngl, >that< was unnerving.

Then as luck would have it, two days later—when the bruising was in full bloom—a senior guard came to give me a wellness check!
This was likely because of the Chilean embassy efforts.
The US embassy called me three times, but gave me nothing but “support”—empty bromides.

I was imprisoned because of my videos—no doubt. The videos are why the SBU arrested me and put me in Sizo Prison without bail.
But as they investigated me—and examined my computers and accounts, all of which they confiscated and opened—the SBU realized that I’m not poor.

All told, they extorted USD$70,000 out of me, and split it among themselves. They also took another $9k when they arrested me (my emergency cash). And another 11 grand, which was the bail money.
With the computers, iPhone, etc., I’m out an even 100k on this adventure.

But here’s the thing: The conditions of my bail are that I have to wear an electronic monitor, surrender my passports, and not leave the city of Kharkov, much less the country.
HOWEVER—after posting bail, I >didn’t< get an ankle monitor—and they >returned< my passports.

This time, it looks like the same is happening: They’re telling me not to leave—but leaving the door open.
Or so I hope.
Or maybe I’m being set up by them so they can justify putting me away in a labor camp—so no one will ever know about their sordid extortion scheme.

No doubt other EU countries will comply like sheep, returning me to serve five to eight years in a prison labor camp—
—regardless of the fact that Kiev arrested and imprisoned me for >YouTube videos!<
For free speech!
What happened to “European democratic values?
lol

I’m posting this thread just as I’m getting to the border checkpoint. I’m also posting videos on the two channels I have access to, The Roundtable and Gonzalo Lira—Again.
If you don’t hear from me in the next 12 hours—whelp! I’m on my way to a labor camp!
Wish me luck.
