Author, journalist, former UN Weapons Inspector Scott Ritter, correctly advised the world that Iraq did not have Weapons of Mass Destruction prior to Washington’s criminal invasion of Iraq in 2003 “for humanitarian reasons”.
The war continues to take a toll on multitudes with Washington’s siege of Mass Destruction having killed about 600,000 children under five, its use of depleted uranium still destroying lives, and the death toll from on-going combat and destabilization still growing.(1)
More recently, Ritter has been decimating Establishment narratives about Russia and Ukraine with a view to promoting peace.
What are some of these inconvenient though well-documented truths?
First, as admitted by NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg, the war started in 2014.(2) In 2014, Washington and its allies orchestrated a coup, using Neo-nazis and genocidal ethnic nationalist groups, groomed since the end of WW2 by Western Intelligence agencies, to mass-murder civilians at Odessa, to send the elected President fleeing, and to install a nazi-infested coup government.
Currently, these same NATO and nazi-infested troops are occupying areas in Kursk, Russia, in an ill-fated surge hauntingly similar to Operation Barbarossa 80 years earlier.
Second, Ritter has deflated the war propaganda that Russia has never sought peace, even as draft agreements at Istanbul were signed in March/April 2022, only to be scuttled by the West (3), even as former German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Petro Poroshenko, former President of Ukraine, have admitted that they used the MINSK Accords not for peace but to buy time to upgrade Ukraine’s military to NATO standards. (4)
All of the aforementioned facts are well-documented though heavily censored, and Ritter, who has a large social media presence, is now being persecuted by U.S authorities. FBI recently raided his house in an investigation into Ritter’s possible violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). (5)
Those amongst us who are seeking truth and peace and justice are increasingly being persecuted by our own nazi-supporting, terrorist-supporting governments.
Who will be next?
