US seizes Scott Ritter’s passport
rt.com ^ | June 3, 2024

Posted on 06/03/2024 6:52:03 PM PDT by lowbridge

The US State Department has seized the passport of former Marine and UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter, he told RT on Monday.

Ritter was on his way to Russia for the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) when he was pulled off the plane and had his documents confiscated.

“I was boarding the flight. Three [police] officers pulled me aside. They took my passport. When asked why, they said ‘orders of the State Department’. They had no further information for me,” Ritter told RT. “They pulled my bags off the plane, then escorted me out of the airport. They kept my passport.”

“Was this done in accordance with the First Amendment, or the Fourth,” Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said, commenting on the news. The first amendment to the US constitution protects freedom of speech, press and assembly, while the fourth bars the government from “unreasonable searches and seizures.”

Not a fan of Ritter, even if he is now a critic of some of the same things I am.

But I bet this is because he currently and vocally opposes 0’Biden’s and the warmongers’ Ukraine adventurism and doesn’t like the idea of WWIII.

In hindsight, Ritter has turned out to be the guy we should have been looking out for all along. We really allowed ourselves to get bamboozled by the Bush administration.

For two years, for Canada the unvaccinated were prohibited from leaving the country.

Scott Ritter will tell what exactly happened tomorrow on Judge Napolitano’s show.

The judge was supposed to go to Russia with Ritter. He just said he was "cancelled". I guess the could mean his passport was confiscated too. Larry Johnson made it over there though.

Why should Heaven help us? Heaven says “We tried to help you. We sent you Donald Trump.” You said, “we will not have that man leading us. We We want Joe Biden to lead us.” It was allowed.
The Election of 2020 was the first election in American history where the voters finally got all of what they voted for.

Protected or not, one can buy or rent their own plane and largely travel anywhere that will allow the plane to land.

Technically you only have the right to travel within the jurisdiction of the US. Foreign travel is a privilege.

But the foreign travel of migrants to the US appears to be a right.

Same with some states. Canada does not have the freedoms citizens of the US have with their Constitution. Now if you were an illegal crossing over the border illegally here, you were welcomed right in no questions asked. That is why I say that Covid was a test, and most US citizens failed miserably in what they permitted in a supposed medical emergency. with regards to their freedoms.

Define serious damage. It is an arbitrary term.

You tell us. You're the one who cited Haig v. Agee. Or are you now arguing against your own case?

“Technically you only have the right to travel within the jurisdiction of the US. Foreign travel is a privilege.”

Technically that is complete and total nonsense.

The privilege is being allowed to enter another nation not leaving this nation.

While working abroad a few years ago, I was notified to escort one of my fellow co-workers to the US Embassy, DOS stamped his Passport as expired, gave him a one way entry stamp on it .

His crime? His ex wife filed in the State of California “ non payment of child support charges “. He was in fact paying her, hired a lawyer, and two years later received a new passport….BUT he lost his job and incurred $4,000 in lawyer fees.

I am surprized to not see the Zeepers defending the Regime in this matter.

After all, Ritter was on his way to Russia Russia Russia.

Ritter is fond of communists...and Hamas supporting communists.

Toured around with Gorgeous George Galloway and everything.

Speaking of Ritter’s pal Galloawy:

Yep. this George Galloway, aka Gorgeous George, (also a pervert):

“...As terrorism expert Patrick Poole writes: According to press accounts, more than $1 million in aid for Hamas, including the cash and supplies raised in Orlando at Musri’s mosque, along with funds raised in Kansas, New York and Illinois, was provided on Galloway’s July 2009. There to greet them and take possession of the cash was Hamas economic minister Ziad al-Zaza and Hamas prime minister Ismail Haniyeh, another designated global terrorist.”

Note Ismail Haniyeh is one of two Hamas leaders who gave orders for the October 7, 2023 terror attacks.

Larry Johnson of VIPS fame, the guys trying to elect John Kerry a while back along with Joseph “Sweet Tea” Wilson and his two wives, the French gal with all the ties to an African dictator Omar Bongo and the super dooper deep cover CIA wife Valery Plame (noted for being an anti nuclear Global Zero activist), and a now deceased or absent wannabe congresswoman.
