Thank you so much for your courage and important work. We are all in your debt, Scott.

As I understand it, when the befuddled FBI "can't-shoot-straight" gang arrived at Scott's house they thought the address was for AIPAC headquarters, which is full of unregistered foreign agents sabotaging the nation.

Poor boys in blue feel pretty embarrassed, especially when asked if they were familiar with the Bill of Rights.

"Bill, who?" they asked.

And they were the top-tier squad. They have no shame. No honor. No morality.

As a psychologist I began to study Nazi’s. Not Himmler and Hitler but others as well… such as the every day Brown Shirts. The type of person who raided Scott’s home. I study how their work impacts their identity, esteem and integrity. Do these officers understand they are the puppets of the ‘deep state’? How far would they have gone? What would the Brown Shirts and Black Shirts of today agree to if told….’rough them up a bit. Shit in their bed. Kill the dog. Turn over the house not just politely look, break the windows’ Do these brown and black shirts of today understand they are part of destroying free speech ? Or, do they enjoy this power? Himmler feared that asking his soldiers to shoot Jews in the back of the head would eventually disturb them. Little did he anticipate that many of the guards were not just over zealous but overly blood thirsty. In other words, once you unleash your brown and black shirts you had better be prepared in how you will end the blood lust.

The Zionists have already surpassed the horrors of the Nazis.

Regarding the FBI and other organizations, I always thought that they would refuse to follow unconstitutional orders if it ever came to that. Boy have I been proven naive and wrong! What they did to Scott and others is frightening; it appears that they are enjoying the power they've been given.

Seems over the past decades both the hiring criteria and the training has changed to populate the agencies with the right think officers who’d do their masters bidding.

My god. Can you visualize this pun on realaddresses in your stack? You w have to bump it up to the next general level of address misunderstandings. And SIRi vitiates the effect...how about showing a 3 parter of Zizeck at 71 trying to get to 3 appointments in the beltway? D Brooks : he makes it. Because Brooks was waiting for himat a park the whole time. KAMALS

Gives him over to Deborah Norville and he raises hell. Idk and then the long noqw foundation and they simply build a onion shaped tomb overhim w ammenities, yup.

What is the downside of registering as a foreign agent when one is not one?

Maybe we could all start registering prophylactically as foreign agents to deter their accusations that we failed to do so.

Fascinating idea! I love it, and will start researching your question.

I think that the appropriate form can be found in non-sample form at omb.report/icr/202307-1124-005/doc/133843200 FWIW. If there is no filing fee for the application, we should make this go viral and flood them with short form applications.

How about the uncorrupted but poorly understood SCOTUS?

If any government interferes in other countries elections it’s the US by far, and as far as registration as a “foreign agent” per FARA the Justice (sic) Department somehow never looks at AIPAC.

To some non Americans it seems clear that AIPAC runs your entire political system

Just watching the Oliver Stone documentary, JFK Revisited. If the U.S. deep state can assassinate its own president then what chance do any of us schmucks have.. the Scott Ritter case is like we never left 1960s America and the days of the red scare. The fucking wall came down a generation ago and the US deep state still thinks that writing an article for RT is treasonous?!

The Red Scare was late 1940s and 1950s. Not the 1960s. I know because I was in high school in the 1960s and also demonstrating against the Vietnam war.

Thanks for the correction, Carolyn. It seems that the fear of the USSR/Russia has always been lodged jn the American psyche in some form or other and has only deepened, culminating in this current war.

Expand full comment

I agree. It is a kind of paranoia with no brakes. The U.S. never got over the Russian Revolution.

Mr. Ritter. You are going to have to pull together your sporadic attacks on what you have variously called the unelected parallel government, the interagency or the establishment and flesh them out more fully. I also have considered writing something on it on my own substack, bangpath.substack.com. I got a lot of traffic when I wrote of your raid by the FBI.

The Establishment or what I call the "CIA", the Security/Intel State is undoubtedly behind the attacks on your freedom. Your night of the long knives idea is essential. A new Church Commission is unlikely to have the necessary effect.

The SCOTUS is not our friend on the 1st Amendment. When they killed Murthy, they authorized unlimited US Government censorship using their 3rd party distractions. I wrote about this too

You work has been a source of inspiration for my own. Keep up the good fight.

The textbook example of a naked disinformation campaign is Powell’s UN stunt as featured in this article, all with the purpose of regime change and invasion.. Next time the U.S. opens its mouth about disinformation and Russian meddling, one is reminded of the adage, ‘If your house is made of glass, don’t throw stones..

Scott there is an easy fix to your problem. Just change your name to AIPAC and they'll leave you alone.

Scott, likely the instigator’s goal is to harass and intimidate you or they would have arrested you already. It’s already backfired on them.

However, they may hold on to your electronics & things just to harass.

It would be great to set precedence if there isn’t one set already.

Start fund raising if you decide to pursue it to next level.

Thank you for being the torch bearer. It takes a strong person! You’re that person!

You’re correct— my only gripe is Scott, and all his like-minded antiwar pals, should have immediately started fundraising on his behalf, both independently and via GiveSendGo, the very day this shakedown happened…

Hell, to the best of my knowledge, Scott hasn’t even retained an attorney. 😬

Even Larry Johnson lamented what a tactical blunder this was.

All that being said, Scott is righteously the tip of the spear in this fight and must be protected at all costs.

Scott’s defense fund needs at least $1,000,000 to begin the work of setting court precedent to help all journalists, analysts, commentators and average American free speech practitioners and advocates.

That’s 👇

1000 ppl each giving $1000 or

10,000 ppl each giving $100

And that’s just the beginning!!

In the process, all Americans, such as Tulsi gabbard, or other journalists should join Scott’s team, imo. There’s power to numbers!!

And we all need to financially support the process. There’s no sitting on sidelines imo.

All for one / one for all

is how to do this.

Meanwhile, we need to write our congressional representatives daily and demand an end to these tirades and constitutional violations against free speech.

Are you game to participate?

If not, put no demands on scott for no one man can change the establishment!

as uk independent journalist Richard Medhurst recently commented on his own (arrest and) confiscated electronics, why would he want them back? they will surely be tampered with

For the info he might not have back up else place. Or gor somple use. His wife watches korean drama on her opad. They took it. These items are pricy and easy to have an expert check it for bugs.

Besides, they may have downloaded bugs on those devices without their knowledge even before confiscating them.

The first I wrote an email to president Obama, a very nice rmail, someone had turned on my computer remotely, connected it to wife (or the reverse) shuffled through all the content of my computer and turned it back off. On a closed laptop.

They don’t need to have the devices in their possession to check it or download bugs on it.

They do it to harass people!!

On "the other front", Richard Medhurst was recently dragged off a plane in London and the authorities are holding a terrorism charge over his head. They want him to set an example for what will happen to other journalists who dare to criticize Israel. Scott is also very critical of Israel and I suspect that this may be a large part of their attack on him.

Undoubtedly, you are an incredibly astute wordsmith. We are thankful for the courageous individuals who speak out against injustices and poor governance. In the UK, freedom of speech is increasingly under threat in the era of 'Two Tier Kier' and 'Starmergeddon.'

We don't have any "freedom of speech" in this God forsaken country, thus, we don't actually have any "freedom" either. They are all relics of a very distant past, spoken of now as lore and fable.

We in the U.S. of Kamala Harris’ our (DNC/swamp) democracy lack the right of the citizen to the truth, especially from government officials.

A citizenry feed propaganda is not free.

A citizenry whose ideas are alleged by government controllers as somehow illegal are slaves.

Misinformation, hate speech, anti woke speech, etc are tools of the slave.

We must stand up for truth.

I think the declaration that what someone says or writes can be a crime if it damages a government’s image, or even its success, is a bogus justification. If government representatives lie and mislead and intentionally seek to conduct the people’s business covertly, those who expose that behavior aren’t criminals, but heroes.

Inference and interpretation are not completely objective exercises, and not inherently subjective either. If an extremist ideologue undertakes a policy that provokes a violent response, and a person criticizes the policy and the rationale for the policy, and the person responsible, how is any of that a crime?

If Americans allow frauds and cheats and liars to be their leaders, and acquiesce in the prosecution of the loudest critics of the government, they will learn to love authoritarianism or live to regret their passivity.

Deplatformed on YT - that's why I can't find "Ask the Inspector" - all I get are "news' clips about the spurious sex charges and channels deriding you as an 'agent of Russia'! Bastards!

To be set up for a spurious sex sting, you have to be doing something right, that scares the crap out of the powers that be - ask Craig Murray, Julian Assange, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, among others. .....

Keep up the passionate work, sir, but watch your back - the arseholes in charge are not averse to "removing problems" permanently! You are also "on the spectrum", aren't you? My wife and I, who are, reckon you are - as are all the best people - Einstein, Tesla, etc etc.
