To see the interview with Scott Ritter please skip to the 4:00 mark.
Scott Ritter responds to questions by the host. Per Ritter his passport was seized without a stated reason.
Ritter speculates as to the reason for the passport seizure.
He also says he expects a nuclear war between the US and Russia in the next forty days. The gist of his commentary is that he was going to Russia to appeal to the Russian people not to start a nuclear war, clearly implying that Russia wants to start a nuclear war.
Synopsis of the first part of the video:
Russia's #1 talk show host, Vladimir Solovyov, launches a profanity filled rant on Russian state television. He goes after George Clooney for criticizing various Russians including Foreign Minister Lavrov.
"Radius38" is mentioned along with an apparently profane slur for Ukrainians.
Starting at about the 3:10 mark Solovyov starts advocating for Russia to escalate their war:
"I'm proposing to move up the ladder of escalation"
My one recollection of the Senate hearing into his involvement with either Iranian or Iraqi WMD production is of then senator joe biden calling him “Scottie boy.” Biden has always been a contemptuous creepy abuser, the complete opposite of his uncle joe self-image.
He is a pedophile who by his own admission failed to report a prison full of children in Iraq.
He cowrote a book with a light in the loafers dingbat named William Rivers Pitt.
He changed his testimony sharply after meeting with a fellow named an Khafaji, who was a paid propagandist for the murderous dictator Saddam Hussein.
Why on earth you would assume the State Department or this administration would follow the law is beyond me. They've never been held responsible for breaking the law before I don't expect they ever care.
Having said that Ritter is still a scumbag.
This WWIII thing is being spun up as A last desperate attempt of the deep state cabal to hold onto power. In coming weeks and months they are going to make the average person believe we are on the brink of nuclear war. There may even be A supposed nuke exploded somewhere. Don’t buy into it. This whole struggle to get rid of the deepstate is going to come to a head in about 3 months. IMO.
There were at least two cases.
Ritter did the 180 turn after alKhafaji gave him a monetary infusion from Saddam Hussein to help produce a propaganda video.
If there’s no legal justification for seizing his passport then you can expect me to support his legal case against the State Department for what would be an arbitrary action.
If the request is legit then it has to comport with these published requirements:
https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/legal-matters/law-enforcement.html
In particular:
“Denying a Passport
Law enforcement agencies may ask us to deny a passport under 22 CFR 51.60. Some reasons to deny a passport include:

In your agency’s request to deny a passport, you must include:
The name, date of birth, and place of birth of the subject
A copy of the valid arrest warrant or criminal court order, and

I understand he has a Russian expatriate wife. Which may or may not mean something significant.
See post #27
I take that back... Pitt’s not light in the loafers, he has a wife and daughter so he was able to hit the target at least once.
Ritter’s buddy Pitt :
“Obama has the right to bare arms and he will bare-knuckle anybody who tries to destroy our country thru armed revolution. And we’d all be backing him up. They just don’t know who they are messing with do they? We will make this a better country and if it means steamrolling them to get there well, my advice is: Watch out freepers.”
He doesn’t need any help ruining his reputation.
I may be wrong but IIRC he was about to fly away and they came on board his plane and took him and his passport off.
Ritter’s reputation is already pretty funky. I don’t imagine a lot of people could think any less of him than they already do. In fact, being hounded by the Biden justice dept may improve his reputation, given this DOJ.
But the most likely explanation of recent state dept actions is that he is a strong public advocate against the war in Ukraine.
This administration will use any means to silence it’s opposition. This is actually pretty mild. He’s alive and not in solitary confinement.
So we should commend them for their restraint.
How does one say "hyperventilate" in Russian? He was like this yesterday, too. Is an intervention needed?
Clearly he is unaware of his reputation.
This is very probably just him seeking revenge for his kiddie-diddling convictions. One thing about sex predators; they never reform. What they do is perfectly justifiable in their minds, and any prosecution is persecution.
Biden, Bill Clinton had multiple other US politicians that frequented Epstein Island are child predators. Even Biden's daughter's diary provides the evidence he is a pedophile.
You're just looking for anyone personal way to slime Ritter because you can't refute what he has to about failed proxy war in Ukraine and the lies you've been telling about it.
You're vile scum. If you want to go to these lengths to defend Biden's failure, BECOME A DEMOCRAT.
Kazan can be reasonable. I think he’s just prone to getting excited whenever he sees my name (and who wouldn’t be, am I right?) but in this case I really was posting the video so Scott Ritter’s own testimony of the issue would be aired.
I am interested in why Ritter’s passport was seized and like I said on another thread if this act was purely political and without legal justification then it needs to be overturned and I will support overturning it.
Arbitrary acts by the Biden regime are NOT to be tolerated regardless of whether or not we like their victims.
That’s just now how this country is supposed to roll.
So I am waiting for Ritter’s lawyers to either sue for more info or I’m looking forward to whatever indictment against Ritter to be made public.
It is also possible that a passport is revoked when a citizen owes taxes to the IRS.
Possible. I suppose we will see.
