Welcome to Communist Amerika, Comrade Ritter.
Technically you only have the right to travel within the jurisdiction of the US. Foreign travel is a privilege.
WE are the (Neo) Marxists now.
Is Ritter still a nutcase?
The Biden Administration is getting bolder. Heaven help us if Biden gets 2nd term.
The Soviet Union had a better system of deal with ‘undesireables’ (meaning people who held the government accountable), as they required EXIT VISAS before one could leave. So you apply, and if it’s turned down (as usually happens), you lose - but no huge show of it, just a letter in the mail.
But in the US, I guess, we wait until the ‘Enemy of the State’, Scott Ritter in this case, has BOARDED THE PLANE, and then make a big show of forcibly removing him from the plane - just to rub salt into the decision that he must not be allowed to leave the US as he is too dangerous of a dissident.
Scott Ritter will tell what exactly happened tomorrow on Judge Napolitano’s show.

Papiern bitte....
Figures the Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman would leave out the part about petitioning the government for a redress of grievances.

"In July 2022, the Ukrainian Center for Countering Disinformation included Ritter on a list of what it called Russian propagandists."
Be interesting if the Biden regime is now detaining US citizens on behalf of their interests in Ukraine....
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.
If it is true that the government did this to him by bureaucratic fiat without due process, then it may be wise to reassess the veracity and validity of Mr. Ritter’s previous convictions. A government willing to violate the rights of its critics forfeits its own credibility and legitimacy to pass judgement upon them.
I wonder if it was because of the position he held in the military.
I knew someone who served who, when he was done with his enlistment, had a list of countries he could not go to for a number of years because of security concerns, and his own safety, because of his knowledge of equipment that he worked with.
It was classified and the reasoning was that he would be in danger from those who wanted that knowledge.
Could it be something like that?
There is a big security conference starting in St Petersburg this week. Judge Napolitano, Scott Ritter and other anti-war with Russia commentators were scheduled to attend. The Judge announced yesterday that he had canceled his own trip (probably so he could keep his passport). Scott Ritter is supposed to be interviewed by the Judge today at Noon on Facebook program “Judging Freedom”. I can’t wait. The tentative title is “On my way to Russia I met Big Brother”.

Combine this with the illegal attempt to close Alex Jones’s studios last night; with the DoINJustice attack on the financiers of Epoch Times; and with the Trump verdict and a couple of things are clear:
They don’t think they can win; they know Rutabaga loses; they can’t steal it; and they are lashing out, Moscow-style in 1812, to destroy everything in sight before they leave.
“Moscow Throws Putin Fanboy Scott Ritter Under the Bus”

(Excerpt)
“Asked about the scandal Tuesday, Vladimir Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov played down Ritter’s claims. He told reporters the “details” about the situation were not clear and that there was nothing unusual about a former intelligence officer facing certain travel restrictions.
“This is practiced in almost all countries in relation to former intelligence officers,” he said.”
What Scott Ritter passport doink?
The International Megan’s Law and the relevant Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA) guidelines require that all registered sex offenders report international travel at least 21 days prior to departure from the United States.
