What the infrastructure for NATO to try to wage war against Russia would cost...

Disclaimer: Lots of f-bombs in the audio. NSFW. 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...

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...

Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov has posted a video of ex-UN weapons inspector (and convicted child sex offender) Scott Ritter visiting Grozny Ritter has consistently promoted Kremlin propaganda about the invasion of Ukraine and seems to be absolutely loving his time in Chechnya

Former American intelligence officer Scott Ritter has visited the Russian republic of Chechnya, offering its leader Ramzan Kadyrov and his fighters "friendship" with the United States. Ritter, a former United Nations Special Commission weapons inspector, U.S. Marine Corps intelligence officer, and a convicted sex offender, made the remarks in an address during his visit to Chechnya's capital, Grozny.

Scott Ritter, the former UN weapons inspector who has been a top voice in the U.S. peace movement since the start of the Ukraine War, saw his YouTube channel deleted last week “due to multiple or severe violations of YouTube’s policy prohibiting hate speech.” Ritter, who has been a critic of the Ukrainian government, called the move an attempt by the social media company to silence him. “There was never any hate speech involved in any of the episodes of ‘The Scott Ritter Show’ unless one views unique content from silenced voices hateful. Knowledge is power, ignorance is weakness. YouTube,...

Ritter talks about the idea of peace via reverse-spin. and the question of a trillion dollars in the pentagon budget that simply turned up missing... The missing trillion might have something to do with our black-op manned space program...

Iraqi Documents: UNMOVIC Knew Of Renewed WMD Efforts Continuing my review of the many documents released from the DocEx files over the last two days, I found yet another interesting piece of information regarding Saddam Hussein's pursuit of WMD. In a summary of a larger document, the translators found that Iraq had restarted its processing of castor-bean extraction, from which ricin can be developed -- and that UNMOVIC discovered it in December 2002. From CMPC-2003-003766-HT.pdf, with line breaks and emphases mine: Ricin toxin is found in the bean of the castor plant. UNMOVIC inspections since December 2002 have verified that...

Ritter sees the attack on the nato gathering site as payback for MI6 and ukie collusion with Prigozhen...

Very interesting take on the Russian/Ukrainian war, in particular, and western corruption. Scott seems very knowledgeable, funny, and shrewd. You are getting a realpolitik view.

Ritter says to use Putin's recent state-of-the-nation speech as a guide to what to expect Russians to do in the near term

Another excellent interview. Scott Ritter differs from Col. MacGregor who thinks the errant Ukrainian missile crashing into Poland was "probably" a mistake. Ritter thinks it was a deliberate strike on Poland to force NATO into the conflict (Article4/5) But, he thinks it was done by a rogue "nationalist" (read neo-nazi) who control the missile batteries in the Western part of Ukraine which is where the missile strike originated from without Zelensky's knowledge. He also feels there is no possibility of a negotiated settlement at this time because Zelensky will not accept reality. "Ritter: How do we end this conflict? And...

My initial introduction to the CIA was through the medium of film and literature. The spy versus spy mystique was alluringly romantic, with a definite ‘good versus evil’ vibe. I grew up, after all, during the Cold War, where the ‘red menace’ permeated every fiber of American popular culture. I opted to serve my country in the military, and not as a spy, receiving a commission in the Marine Corps in 1984 as an intelligence officer. My specialty was combat, not espionage, and it seemed that my path and that of the premier American intelligence agency were never to cross....

Another excellent presentation from my favorite Military Analyst, Scott Ritter. Though this one offers a new twist in the first 1/2 hr. of the program. Ritter passionately answers a question from a viewer about his criminal conviction in great detail and makes clear he is not guilty. Years of appeals that are still in progress. This is the first time I have seen him address this question.

Scott Ritter, [9/9/2022 7:19 AM] [ Video ] Scott Ritter, [9/9/2022 7:40 AM] Some Comments on the Military Situation in Ukraine as of September 9, 2022 I have been asked to comment on the situation in eastern-southern Ukraine following the commencement of a major counteroffensive by the Ukrainian armed forces (UAF). Given the fluidity of the situation on the ground, I will avoid trying to conduct a detailed analysis of the specific actions that have taken place, are taking place, and will take place. I am thousands of miles removed from the battlefield and am in receipt of incomplete and...

Back in december, I posted that everyone's favorite Baathist flunkie / child molester Scott Ritter was released from Jail (and is gainfully employed courtesy of the Huffington Post), but it seems that Scott hasn't fulfilled the requirements of his sentence. He has to register as a sex offender but I dont see his entry in New York's database, or Pennsylvania's (where the crime took place). http://www.pameganslaw.state.pa.us/ http://www.criminaljustice.ny.gov/nsor/ I know the first time Ritter got caught proposition a child in the internet was back in 2001 but the prosecutor let him off with an Adjournment in Contemplation of Dismissal and sealed...

This war will go down in history as a strategic Russian victory. Russia will have halted NATO expansion, destroyed a dangerous den of Nazi ideology in Ukraine, redefined European security by undermining NATO, and demonstrated Russian military prowess, an important deterrent.

When Russian tanks rolled into Ukraine on February 24th, it caused a lot of problems for voices on the right and the left. Putin has a lot of fans in both corners, and these fans had spent years portraying him as a tactical genius, bamboozling us all with his four-dimensional chess moves. Right up until February 23rd, these Putin stans had been assuring us that Putin would never do something as dumb as launch a full-scale invasion of a sovereign democracy. Ever since then, the right have been able to change gears on Putin fairly seamlessly. This is WAR, and...

The Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft removed an article late last week written by a former United Nations official who was convicted of engaging in lurid acts with a child. The isolationist think tank bankrolled by billionaires George Soros and Charles Koch sparked on uproar on Dec. 28 when it published an article by Scott Ritter, a former high-ranking U.N. weapons inspector who was arrested in the mid-2000s as part of an internet underage-sex sting. Ritter was arrested at least three times for this behavior. The Quincy Institute removed the piece, which downplayed the threat posed by Russia's hack attacks...
