Ritter is critic of Ukraine I would guess. This whole thing smacks of Stalinism. The Russian economic forum would be a very important thing to attend and you can bet they’ll be high-level people speaking there maybe even Putin. I guess I’ll have to rely on Pepe Escobar to see what’s going on over there. The question I have Mark is who else was on their way to Saint Petersburg today for this economic summit that may have been pulled from their planes also. I don’t buy it was just Ritter and Judge nap. Why was Ritter singled out for such treatment? Is he a political enemy of the Biden administration. This goes right along with stuff that happened with Lincoln and Wilson, respectively.

Pepe Escobar

IMPORTANT UPDATE

Judge Nap was NOT removed from that flight from NYC alongside Scott.

Larry Johnson, who's already in St. Petersburg - we're meeting tomorrow - wrote me, "the judge canceled earlier in the day because the Russian citizen, a former FSB officer, who is going to sponsor them was arrested last night via orders from a political opponent. Their sponsor is running for mayor in some city outside of Moscow. This local official acted with local police. Once Scott learned that he told the judge better to cancel, I don’t think that had anything to do with Scott being removed from the flight."

By the way, Judge Nap was interviewing Larry exactly when Scott was facing Little Blinkie's no-fly hysterics.
