On July 4th, 3 days before the London Bombings, William Scott Ritter, ex marine, "ex" CIA, ex UNSCOM Weapons Inspector, a man arrested in 2001 for child sex offences in Albany upstate New York (he visited a Burger King after having arranged an Internet meet with a junior for sex sesions but met the Police - Google "Scott Ritter Burger King" for over 200 links to story ) visited Leeds.The picture shows him neatly framed with the inverted US flag in the background - a criminal offence in the USA., before addressing the annual Independence Day protest organised by Lindis Pierce, Peace Protester who the Police wanted to serve an ASBO on, and now having failed to do so want her electronically tagged.
Later in the evening he addressed a crowd in Leeds. The previous weekend he had been in Edinburgh and adressed some G8 associated events.
Now the Metropolitan Police say an al-Quaeda operator entered the country and left just before the London bombings.
Just what was he doing in Leeds ?
As a footnote, the lady in the pic with glasses and board is Pam Chambers, an American from Philadelphia currently in Sheffield who has wide experience and contacts in the Middle East who kindly arranged for Lindis to "invite" Scott Ritter to the demonstration and for the talk later in the evening.(The other two are from BBC Look North in Leeds)
Synchroncity ?
Ritter quit his role as an arms inspector in 1998 and has spent the last seven years speaking out against the deliberate WMD lies told by the US and UK governments.
ReplyDeleteHe was arrested in 2001. He was the victim of a police sting operation and wasn't tried or convicted of anything. The confidential papers on the arrest were leaked just before Iraq was attacked. Hmmmm, talk about synchronicity.
Now I'm not suggesting that Ritter is or isn't a kiddy fiddler, I don't know the man, but what's that got to do with anything he's got to say about WMD, the attack on Iraq or British and American foreign policy?
on the contrary, googling "William Scott Ritter Burger King" get's exactly zero results
ReplyDeleteoops...drop the William.. and as with any Google search, play around with keywords.
ReplyDeletegot it: Ritter confirms arrest - funnily enough i remember seeing this interview.....
ReplyDeleteInverted flag - a criminal offense? But flag burning isn't? Are you sure about that?
ReplyDeleteFlag burning in the US will get you time in the slammer - the crime is insulting the flag. Covers anything that insults the flag, damage, inappropriate display , use etc.,

ReplyDeleteJust eight months ago, Lincoln, Nebraska police arrested a 64-year-old Vietnam War veteran who flew the American flag upside down to protest the war in Iraq. He was arrested for violating a 1977 Nebraska law prohibiting the "mutilation of a flag," which it defines this way. "A person commits the offense of mutilating a flag if such person intentionally casts contempt or ridicule upon a flag..." The penalty is three months in jail. Of course, in many societies, the punishment for ridiculing God is far greater.
