I know Marko from a wonderful article he wrote about covid for Russia Insider in the early days of the "pandemic". It was a scary and lonely place back then when almost nobody dared to speak against covid. After that I forgot about him until the fake war started. Again - no info, just cheap propaganda. I found the anti-empire website and was reading it till he dropped because of the haters. I don't remember how I found out about your blog, Rolo, I think it was from the anti-empire website? Or maybe I read something from Riley about you. Riley is great, all of you are great. Riley made impression on me when he appeared in the Corbett show. I admit that I suspect anybody to be a spook including you so I never really clap like a monkey for anybody. But still you are doing a great job and it is a pleasure.

It was around 96 that he was under investigation for sharing top secret information with Israel

I definitely haven’t written a definitive analysis of Ritter. Good input.

Most of the western dissident community remember him being the guy to stand up to Bush regarding WMDs in Iraq. He became popular in the 'anti war' crowd of the early 2000s

Nobody seems to remember him in the 90s being the main voice saying that Iraq was a serious threat .

Nobody can explain his complete metamorphisis from 99 to 2000. Post Bush Scot Rittetr needs to explain pre-Bush Scott Ritter

He has a degree in Soviet history and was alledgely one of the first American's in the USSR back in 1988 dealing with inspecting their weapons programs

That is a groomed, life-long, spook of the highest order

In contrast there is less info about Larry.

There is effort to hide what Ritter's position was when he was with UNSCOM in the 90s. It would totally ruin his cred with the audience his has established since the mid 2000s (for having the opposite position). It's just impossible because his media presense was so huge in the 90s. Still when I bring it up people can't believe it.

It's interesting that they were all part of anti soviet operations in Afghanistan.

Yes....I must say, I was reading Larry's blog about two years from now. At the beggining, it was - may I say good (but from western articles - moon of alabama was always for me most objective, just in some points he gave his opinions, but not take too much - this or that side). It is interesting when you look that situation - Larry and Ritter (I don't like him, I don't know why, from the beggining) were in some kind of disagreements about Z around Kiev, then they again become best friends, and also this circle - always links to Martyanov, Saker, Simplicius, Gonzalo Lira (R.I.P.) and others....but always same circle. Even though, it was better for reading those articles in that time, but some MSM shits. But, after Bakhmut and when they start to call this - "meat grinder", I become sick when I read this words. And then Wagners, and Prigozin -- all become even sicker. I am visiting Larry's site today, but not to read articles, much more for reading comments below - and must say: some commentators (some of them are excelent, and always giving some good links) pointing at some thing which you are writing about. And this Larry's pictures from Moscow, Scott was in Russia, too - and in some point - ok, I don't care if that was some private stuff here, but it is not. I expect - after you wrote this article - there will be many words about you, because they all read what you, Rolo before and Edward are saying. Believe me, they do. For me - must paraphrase Trump's term to this - Slavland FIRST!! After all, I'm from Croatia - and know that elitist, shlomos and oligarhs work against us - against ordinary people in Russia, Ukraine, Croatia, Americas, etc. So, for the end - excelent article again, and I'll always link to people who wants to know what the hell I'm talking about - to yours and Edwards substack. So they can read something new, to see real situation, not some circle farytail stories. Thank you also for link to Marko's blog - first time to see this. As always, greetings from Croatia and God bless you.

Thank you for the kind words. I also think they read us from time to time. Sometimes it feels like they are writing articles aimed at me. In the comments sections they are even more explicit. I think their orders are to ignore us for now though.

I'm glad you brought up Ritter's role as the main 'bomb-Iraq' voice during his time with UNSCOM in the 90s. He literally worked on congress for years painting Iraq as an imment threat.

That was in the mid to late 90s until he resigned in protest of the Clinton administration for being weak on Saddam in August of 98. Then he went on a bomb Iraq media tour for the rest of the year.

He was a media darling from 97-99 when inexplicably he disappeared from the media spotlight and then reemerged after Bush was elected with a completely different persona and led the "WMD truth" movement claiming the exact opposite as he did all through the 90s.

He was rumores to be an Israeli asset in the 90s. In fact you can find articles with him explaining how if it was not for Israel they would have had to give up on their weapons inspections due to lack of actionable leads.

For whatever you think of Clinton it did appear that the Clinton adminstration was trying to stop Ritter building a case to bomb Iraq. In the war hawk media Ritter was framed as a maverick 'truth' teller pitted against the Clinton administration who was appeasing Saddam.

Actually he got got in 3 underage stings. His much less known one was in early 2001

His pedo profile fits what we know about deep state goons and their proclivities.

Expand full comment

Can someone walk me through why you think Ritter is still a CIA asset? Bush Sr. was the CIA’s seat at the table during the Reagan admin. Why would the deep state have him first resign bc Clinton was too weak on Iraq and then have him be an outspoken voice of the antiwar movement once Bush Jr. invaded? He’s been making the deep state look bad at every opportunity.

It seems likelier that he was always a loser (you don’t send the ppl you’ll miss to a UN mission) and he has been taking these contrary positions to chase fame and to spite an establishment he resents. Just bc there are big political and pedo conspiracies out there doesn’t mean everyone’s a part of them.

Many thanks for your work here. I think you might envoy the recent book 'The Indoctrinated Brain' written by a Germany neurobiologist who discusses the nurochemical effect of the experimental mRNA gene therapy in terms of its pacification of the brain. Adds an additional layer to the current state of play.

Its things like that and the terrible state of food, health and education that makes me wonder why the whole smoke/ and mirrors shadow play is necessary? The vast majority of people in the west are so magnificently pacified that its seems a waster of time time/funds. Everyone is so siloed and prone to blow ups over absolutely asinine minutia at this point it seems like overkill. Perhaps their just trolling us or its part of the intra-elite game of thrones?

Hey, Rolo.

I really like making lists of easily accessible occult practices, prayers, and rituals for reference.

I have my own occult rituals I attempt to follow routinely: the charm of making, elements from Zolar's book of wisdom and some Rampa studies.

I was wondering if you would make an article detailing your own preferred meditative, reflective, esoteric and occult rituals. Their original sources, how you practice them, and routines you find effective.

I didn't have much to say about your investigations because I totally and basically uncritically agree at this point. It is really helpful having this researched investigation and psychoanalysis at hand, and I wish I could share it with my Father.

He's at the stage currently where he believes *you* are a 5D-er as you suspect a wider conspiracy. It's not that he doesn't believe such things, and he *is* a highly intelligent, suspicious, and very competent Right Wing Occulist...he's just hopeful.

I purposefully expose myself to enemies and critical sources hoping to learn from them and to fortify myself and see weaknesses within my own side...or if what I thought is my side *is* my side.

Ha ha, this is a solid point.

I think after the next series of failures, I'll introduce this.

So far I've just been dropping the fact that most of these commentators have been wrong, consistently refuse to admit they are wrong, all former spooks, and finally our IRL Qanon friend whom we all pity as a source of comparison.

The spook 5-D crowd not only tries to influence hearts and minds through their story-telling, all of their sites are used to track and identify people who might support the empire's enemies - via the comment sections.

They may well retain CIA connections, but that would be no evidence of ability to achieve any intelligent goal, let alone that they have accepted orders to write in this way. Even before it (and all other American institutions) was rotted by 'diversity inclusion and equality' the CIA was never very effective. Just listen to Johnson and Ray McGovern (the shrewdest and best informed of them all) tell stories about their previous employer. They are quite likely to retain contacts with friends there who can regale them with stories of a modern intelligence service where 'intelligence' in the intellectual sense is now a racist thought-crime, and in the technical sense is completely disregarded.

I know no evidence that these bloggers have any substantial influence amongst the Russian spooks and crooks who might potentially oppose Putin to any effect. Being liked by some Americans might make Putin feel good, - or maybe he just performs a tedious chore talking to morons who might have a marginal influence opposing the crazies running the American government deterring them from even more stupid actions.

I think Larry Johnson's recent article (and Martyanov's) about the amazing number of views garnered by Carlson's interview, far more than all the mainstream media combined, let alone the small reach of the 5D bloggers, shows that its more about media success than advancing any cunning plan of the CIA.

I don't think its so suspicious that these men used to work for the CIA (long ago). Who else would employ intelligent articulate white men with an interest in the rest of the world? Academia used to employ a few, but not since they were blackened. Journalism even more so. A few old men talking to a despised and dwindling class of Americans seems an unlikely plot to prop up Putin, even should he be in need of propping. The CIA, even in its modern state, should be able to do better than that!

Lisa McRee: What are they hiding?

SCOTT RITTER: They are hiding their retained capabilities in biological, chemical, nuclear weapons and ballistic missile delivery systems.

Lisa McRee: Can you be more specific about what you believe they have?

Scott Ritter: I think one of the things that has been in the news recently is the VX nerve agent, one of the most deadly substances known to mankind. Iraq clearly produced this agent in large quantities and put it on ballistic missile warheads. They have lied about that, they have said that they have not done this, despite the fact that we have the proof in our hands.

Lisa McRee: What's our appropriate response, then?

Scott Ritter: It's time to call the game for what it is. This is Saddam Hussein's attempt to keep weapons of mass destruction and get sanctions lifted. Saddam is linked with these weapons, there is no way of dealing with the weapons without dealing with Saddam.

Lisa McRee: But do what? Should we have a military strike against Iraq? Should it be unilateral or should we do it only with allies? What do you suggest?

Scott Ritter: These are issues that have to be addressed by the national security policy team in Washington, DC, that's what they get paid the big bucks for.

Lisa McRee: What do you think will work, though? You've been there.

Scott Ritter: I know what won't work, continuing to provide concessions to Iraq only feeds their strength. Iraq is in charge of this game right now. They are the ones calling the shots. It's time for the United Nations, the [national] security council of the United States to seize the initiative to start taking more proactive measures to counter Saddam Hussein. And whatever measures they take, they are going to have to be decisive and not the half steps that have been taken so far.

Lisa McRee: Are you talking about economic sanctions or are you talking about an attack [i.e., war]?

Scott Ritter: Economic sanctions won't work, we know that. Iraq has turned economic sanctions around and used it against the United Nations and United States. I think you are coming to the obvious point, but that is a decision that the national security team has to make, not Scott Ritter.

Remember this little verse? It is very applicable to popular American bloggers nowadays:

'You cannot hope to bribe or twist

(thank God!) the British journalist.

But, seeing what the man will do

unbribed, there's no occasion to.'

https://allpoetry.com/poem/11855511-Epigram--British-Journalist-by-Humbert-Wolfe

There's no need to suppose recruitment by Russian intelligence agencies (except possibly in the case of Ritter, whose recent videos of his trips around Russia praising Putin have become rebarbative. In the most recent the Russian Colonel he talks to looks weary but resigned to having to entertain this foreign fool and join in ritual adulation of his own ruler.)

Just considering common American characteristics is probably a better guide to their behaviour. The 'hot pursuit of the rapid dollar' is a very American characteristic. In this case the conflict in Ukraine provided a godsend to media people whose excited chatter attracted attention and money from the American public, without needing - but not excluding - the possibility of further funding from American and Russian agencies.

Patience has never been an American virtue; indeed the ability to scramble aboard passing bandwagons, and to as rapidly dismount when a better prospect appears, is seen as evidence of 'virtu'.

This impatience colours their commentary and expectations of people who may be more patient and devious.

The American public they address has a short attention span, a poor memory, little respect for culture or education, knowledge or learning (vide Carlson ) and no interest in learning or any respect for the longer term. It has been successfully dumbed-down and 'niggerised'. Indeed, in fairness the section of the public these men address is the less debased part which has become wearied of the filth extruded by the 'main stream media'. Hence consistency should not be expected in the views expressed by commentators.

Just consider some of the hysterical inanities and insanities currently agitating the lower levels of American society, as addressed by Clif High in recent videos such as this:

https://clifhigh.substack.com/p/chilled-aliens

That makes the 5D commentators seem like sages in comparison.

There's less to see here than meets the eye! It's not about Russia, Ukraine or deep laid spookery. It's about America today.

i think they still work for the CIA, only for the faction that supports keeping Putin in power.

just look at all the pro-Putin figures. they're all spooks. tucker, the Big Three, Sachs, Burns, Luttwak, I could go on.

You’re projecting Russian power politics on to American agencies. That kind of infighting is counterproductive and isn’t countenanced within agencies. Within the CIA whoever has more power or wins the argument gets their way, whoever is pro-putin in the CIA isn’t out there trying to undermine the rest of the org. You definitely get friction and infighting between the many orgs in USIC, but not so much within them.

Are you sure you should be bragging that you have a hard time reading and that words scare you?

How do you manage to read the Bible before bed, big guy?

Lots of long words and difficult sentences in those fairy tales about magical hebrews, idk if you've noticed.

Maybe you focus more on picture books and cartoons when trying to come to an understanding of how the world works?
