On August 7, 2024, the FBI raided the upstate New York home of former United Nations weapons inspector Scott Ritter. The FBI goons raided Ritter’s property as part of a federal probe against him, according to an account given by an FBI spokeswoman to The New York Post . She did not provide additional commentary on the matter.
Ritter informed reporters outside of his Delmar home after the raid that the warrant dealt with potential violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), per a report by the Times Union.
The United States Department of State recently seized his passport as he attempted to go on a trip to Russia for a conference. Ritter insists that he had his passport seized for his beliefs that have challenged the Biden regime’s foreign policy toward Russia.
Ritter has made a name for himself on the alternative media circuit for his non-interventionist views and sharp critiques of the Deep State’s foreign policy
The FBI raid took place a day after Ritter was hanging out with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who was present at an Albany courtroom for a hearing to determine if the independent presidential candidate should be on New York’s ballot come November 5, 2024 — General Election Day.
Ritter previously worked as a weapons inspector in Iraq in the 1990s as part of an international campaign to disarm the regime of Iraqi strongman Saddam Hussein. Ritter resigned from his position in protest in 1998. After leaving his post, Ritter became a sharp critic of US foreign policy in conflicts ranging from the Iraq War to the Russo-Ukrainian conflict — a US-sponsored proxy war in Ukraine that could potentially go nuclear.
The Biden regime is absolutely scared of the likes of Ritter. They know that his message is powerful and that his insights go against the very foundation of the interventionist regime that dominates DC politics.
For those who want a sane foreign policy of realism and restraint, let’s hope that this FBI investigation does not result in the imprisonment of Ritter, which would be a devastating blow to the anti-war cause.
