Luna Supports Assault Rifles – Just Not for Ukraine, While “Bearing” Arms…and Midriff
To My Fellow Floridians:
Our Congresswoman Anna Luna got back from Warsaw where as part of a Congressional delegation she met with members of Ukraine’s parliament. I guess she didn’t have the guts to meet them in Kyiv. And what did she do next? She trashed President Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian Parliament and she lied about them demanding F-35’s. You’d think an Air Force veteran who claims her job was USAF base airfield management could tell the difference between an F-35 and an F-16. Guess not. She carried Putin’s laundered propaganda back with her on the plane. Now she and her so-called “Freedom Caucus” Putin duck-puppets, and Elon Musk, are quacking Putin’s Ukraine agenda in Congress and all over the right-wing media outlets. Further, she’s falsely alleging that her constituents don’t really care about Ukraine.
Au Contraire, Luna Bare! I was and still am your constituent. But now I’m your opponent too. And I care, and so do 95%+ of the Pinellas County residents I’ve spoken with on this subject. Ukraine has overwhelming support in Pinellas County. I challenge you to publish your constituent surveys, statistics, and your incoming constituent emails on Ukraine support. To quote Luna’s email to the NY Times reporter Robert Draper where she spouted her disingenuous special kind of “faux indignation:”
Luna: “I just got back from meeting with the Ukrainian Parliament in Poland, where they demanded F-35s and thought it was an obligation for every American to pay $10 a month to fund their war,” Representative Anna Paulina Luna, a conservative Republican freshman from Florida, wrote in a heated email to this reporter three days later. Ukrainians are not asking for the more advanced and expensive F-35s, but regardless, Ms. Luna said the United States’ role in the conflict could “potentially start WWIII.” “Ukraine ranked low on her constituents’ concerns,” she added, vowing to “brief her colleagues about the encounter.“
Read the full just-published NY Times article on her Poland trip and her subsequent actions here.
It occurs to me that this sounds eerily like Elon Musk’s rationale for denying Ukraine his StarLink service in Crimea which ended up thwarting their drone attack on the Russian Black Sea ships moored in Sevastopol? To quote a line from my song “The Highway to Moscow,” “They get their talking points from WhatsApp from the Kremlin, and do it all in the name of me and you.
Here’s me performing “The (Lunamusk) Highway to Moscow,” which is parody of the Jim Reeves’ song “The Highway to Nowhere”.
Perhaps the two of them are getting their talking points on WhatsApp from the Kremlin and are executing what the PR folks call messaging discipline.
Luna (and Elon Musk) Regurgitate Putin’s World War Threats While Forgetting Nazi Fascist History
I’ll point out to our readers that if President Roosevelt had taken the same position as Luna in WWII, Great Britain, under bombardment from Hitler’s V-2 rockets and Luftwaffe, would have fallen to Hitler, just like our other-best-ally France had already fallen. Had the United States not supplied arms to the British before entering the war…not to mention to the French…and even to Stalin and the USSR, the swastika would be flying over London, Paris, and Moscow. Remember “The Lend Lend-Lease Act of 1941” Luna?
Luna, you’re starting to quack just like Charles Lindberg and the Nazi-compromised congressmen did in the early ’40s before and during WWII. Lindberg and those compromised Congressman quacked Hitler’s Nazi agenda into the US Congress. Some of those traitors (and I don’t use that term lightly) were literally tried for sedition. That seditious conspiracy trial would fail. But not so our Jan 6th sedition trials this year. America law enforcement and the people didn’t have cellphone cameras, Facebook, and facial recognition tech back in the day, so proving sedition was a heavy lift in 1944.
For a deep dive on the 1944 Nazi sedition plot in Congress and the trial, read The Rolling Stone’s article published on October 3, 2022 which summed up Rachael Maddow’s Ultra Podcast covering that trial. Or, just listen to her Ultra Podcast itself here. To quote from that Rolling Stone article on Ultra:
“FOR A HISTORICAL podcast, Rachel Maddow’s new project could hardly be more timely. As the seditious conspiracy trial seeking to hold the Oath Keepers accountable for their role in the Jan. 6 insurrection ramps up in Washington, D.C., Rachel Maddow Presents: Ultra explores a World War II-era prosecution known as the Great Sedition Trial of 1944. The prosecution exposed a Nazi-backed plot that connected sitting members of Congress — many of them tied to the original, nativist America First movement — and militias and street thugs who wanted to overthrow the republic and install a fascist, authoritarian regime.
Luna Co-Sponsors Matt Gaetz’s “Ukraine Fatigue Resolution with Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Others (HR-113)
HR-113 says in summary that “This resolution states that the United States must end its military and financial aid to Ukraine.” Here’s the full text of HR-113 and it’s downloadable pdf file below.
She’s Enabling Putin’s Rape of Ukraine
Just to put some Ukrainian childrens’ faces on this Putin-war in which you are advocating a policy that will result in a Putin victory, Congresswoman Luna, these artistic works below depicting Putin’s rape and traumatization of Ukraine’s children were created by Ukrainian artist Mariia Loniuk. Look at their faces Congresswoman Luna. Have you no shame?
“You Will Be Assimilated. Resistance is Futile”… (Star Trek Borg Compiliation)
I say resistance is not only not futile, it is imperative. We can and will win. This Russian pattern of behavior uncovered in St Petersburg FL, GA, and CA by the FBI/DOJ is being rinsed and repeated all over America and in the halls of Congress, our court system including maybe some on our Supreme Court, and in other American institutions, the gun lobby (the NRA). We’ve only just begun to unmask it.
Now, what are the odds that these same Russian operatives, operating in Luna’s backyard weren’t actually in or around Luna’s actual physical backyard or local District office in the 2 years since she’s been in office. As I said, I don’t believe in coincidences. The nexus in space, the timing of the Russian operatives’ compromising activity in St. Pete, coupled with the Russian mafya assassination threats by her Republican opponent, coupled with Congresswoman Luna’s Putin-Ukraine flip-flop with HR-113, all constitute circumstantial evidence.
In a Light Most Unfavorable
And, when taken in a light most unfavorable to Luna by her constituents and given all the reasonable inferences her constituents can make from the public facts and circumstantial evidence, one can reasonably conclude that these are key indicators of Russian compromise and that it is thus more likely than not that she and her husband were compromised by Russia sometime after she was elected. I will note that the distance between Luna’s local office in Seminole, and the Uhuru’s office for The African People’s Socialist Party in downtown St. Petersburg that was targeted by Russian intelligence, is only 14.5 miles. They’re already among us here in District 13.
By the way, here are the 12 representatives who co-sponsored HR 113 “The Ukraine Fatigue Resolution”:
- Rep. Anna Paulina Luna of Florida
- Rep. Matt Gaetz (drafted the resolution)
- Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona
- Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado
- Rep. Paul Gosar of Arizona
- Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia
- Rep. Anna Paulina Luna of Florida
- Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky
- Rep. Mary Miller of Illinois
- Rep. Barry Moore of Alabama
- Rep. Ralph Norman of South Carolina
- Rep. Matt Rosendale of Montana
A Gift Best Not Given
As for Putin and his propaganda minister Maxshut Shodayev, both of who are under US sanctions, to quote George Gershwin’s “I’ve Got Rhythm from the 1943 musical “Girl Crazy”, as sung by Judy Garland” “Who could ask for anything more” from Anna Luna, Matt Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor-Greene, and Lauren Bobert than the de-fanging of Ukraine? What better gift to Putin than the gift of Ukraine running out of ammunition and weaponry?
The “Don’t Look Up” Scenario and My Predictions
Luna’s going to be fired by her constituents. I’m going to defeat her in a landslide. That’s assuming she and her husband even make it to the general election a free couple, or a couple free from indictment. Will she end up resigning in disgrace? I doubt it. Instead she’ll wage a Trumpian war on the FBI, DOJ, and, and this will be the kicker, the US Air Force Office of Special Investigations (OSI). Mark my words. But that’s a topic I’ll reserve for a separate article.
Luna presents herself as what can reasonably be called a younger female version of Trump.
Luna’s like Meryll Streep playing exactly that role, the presidential female version of Trump, in the hysterical movie “Don’t Look Up.” Streep totally nailed it. And so did the actor playing the American tech oligarch in that movie that ended up bringing about earth’s destruction out of naked greed and hubris. THAT movie oligarch was obviously the writer’s and directors’ takedown of Elon Musk.
Competing Campaign Endorsements: Jax v Trump
And while Luna has the endorsement of Trump, a twice-impeached indicted felon facing 98 criminal charges, a man who tried to to overthrow our democracy, stole America’s secrets and refused to return them and tried to cover up their existence, a man who fomented an insurrection to stay in office...Me? I have the endorsement of Jax Taylor, President and CEO of Jax in and Out, a local cafe here in Gulfport.
I’ll take Jax’s endorsement over Trump’s any day of the week. She’s a real, hardworking, honest woman, running an honest business. Not a fraud. Not an indicted felon. Not a Putin puppet. Her endorsement of me? Priceless. Watch the video of her endorsement of me: that wasn’t scripted.

Special Election Prediction
Will Luna be removed from her House seat by the Republican-controlled House? Maybe. How about impeachment? Imprisonment? Could be. If so, and I predict one or more of these scenarios is more likely than not to come to pass, then sometime between now and next fall a special election will be held right here in the 13th District. I wonder who my Republican opponent will be under that scenario.
In closing, I say unto my Pinellas County neighbors and to the rest of America, to borrow a turn of phrase from our American brothers and sisters claiming to be champions of both the 1st and 2nd Amendment:
“You’ll have to pry America’s military support to Ukraine out of my cold, dead hands!”
This article is an updated version of a RussiLeaks expose’ Liccione published on May 12th.
John Liccione is a candidate for the US Congress in Florida’s 13th Congressional District where he is the only declared Democratic candidate running against Anna Luna in 2024. (see VoteLiccione.org)
He is also Founder and CEO of RussiLeaks, a media company focused solely on exposing Putin’s secrets and those of his agents operating on American soil. He is also the Founder and CEO of Leaks Media, a global media company just getting started whose mission is “Exposing the Secrets of the Enemies of Democracy.”
