Who would you have interview me? CNN? Fox? CBS? ABC? NBC? PBS?

They all lie. None apologize for their lies.

Alex did.

You miss the point. How many votes does Alex Jones cast in an election?

One.

How many votes do his followers cast?

Millions.

I think my appearing on Alex Jones has just been explained.

Scott's intent, much like the intent of almost anybody who's interviewed by anyone, is simply to reach an audience. Apparently, a few people think it indicates an endorsement of the host's character. They are wrong, and it would be self-defeating for Scott to kowtow to such nonsense. He wants to influence public opinion, not just people who are supposedly "better" than the Alex Jones audience. Subjecting members of the public to a purity test is a recipe for failure.

Nuclear war does not discriminate.

Thank you Scott !! Your mistreatment by Twitter is absolutely disgusting.

At the same time crimes disclosed by Twitter Files are infinitely bigger than Watergate. And still most of US public has not even heard of them.

....And -- FB just silenced the “so called researcher” Seymour Hersh on Biden’s terrorist attack on Germany as “unreliable” -- the pressure of panicked cabal of DNC- FBI/CIA and State media is immense but their attempt to naked fascism as "fight for democracy" is collapsing.

While I agree with the castigation of Elon Musk; while Scott is a most-articulate hero to me; I still am most anxious about Jones' position on Sandy Hook because so many believed him. I was inundated by friends who insisted Sandy Hook never happened. No amount of discussion or articles telling the truth could ever convince them otherwise. It is quite probable that at least some still believe the lie and they comfort themselves by claiming "Jones has to say it happened, he's broke."

Is it ignorance? I don't know. My farmer cousins have completely distrusted the US government for decades. I didn't totally lose my faith until Obama's second term.

But here we are, a nation divided for and against the Ukraine war. There is no middle ground on which to debate. RFK Jr. expressed support for Ukraine when he announced his candidacy for President. US Generals may admit there is no way to win that war, but the deep state has shown Kennedy, twice already, what will happen to him if he stands in the way of the Oligarchy's war. How might my vote for him prevent the coming war with China? I was a sucker for Obama's carefully worded promises to support policies I wanted. I do not want to see the USA destroyed. Where are the "calmer heads" that will back down?

I don't know where to "draw the line", but when faced with an enemy who is associated with the Ukraine Bandaristas; who are in fact American Nazis; that will boldly lie about anything and everything; who appeal to the beast that lives in every man's heart -- how can one condone such great lies?

Yeah, F... Elon.

But, F... Jones too.

Best on your trip to Russia Scott.

Think of the millions of children killed based on the lies of the Korean, Vietnam, Afghan, Iraq, and so many more wars. And no legal redress. Jones is not my cup of tea and he even admitted he got it wrong about Sandy Hook. But compare his misdeed with those of the crimes noted above. Draw appropriate conclusions.

A parallel.

A high rise designed to take the impact of a passenger liner and had typical fireproofing measures, drops straight down in its footprint like professionals are paid lots of money to accomplish. And then the building next to it does exactly the same thing. I have been in construction for 50 years and I wasn't born yesterday.

I don’t know how anyone could ever believe that Elon Musk was on the people’s side. He’s just another Trojan horse like Trump. And all the rest. He has always been one of THEM. He’s still working on his brain chips and neuralink.

I watched the Infowars show live.

Scott did a good job of getting his message out, which I'll just summarize as, "We're all going to die."

Jones reflected that message and helped to amplify it. How Jones' audience will receive the message is TBD.

Ritter said Biden is mentally compromised and will make the wrong decision if he is brought the "football".

Ritter said the fate of the world hangs on a failed actor, Zelensky.

Ritter says the war won't last past fall. Others believe it will go on for years.

Finally, Ritter said there are Generals and Lindsey Graham who believe a nuclear war can be won.

While the government and their talking heads lie to us with ubiquity, and other figures get cancelled for telling the truth, it's important to know Obama signed a bill on the way out that legalized government propaganda. So they can lie with impunity, and the rest will be summarily punished.

Thank you Mr. Ritter for this wonderful article. This is exactly why I refuse to use platforms like Twitter and facebook. The people who run these social media platforms only care about their own virtue signaling. They condemn or cancel others who don’t agree with them and then support the killing of civilians, including children, in the Donbas whether knowingly or not. How can one claim to care about the murdered children at Sandy Hook and then be responsible for a satellite system used to point out to a war criminal regime such as the one in Kiev where civilian targets are in the Donbas?! This is despicable and is a war crime. Who wouldn’t want to support open dialogue between US and Russia to disarm these nuclear weapons?! I support you wholeheartedly Mr. Ritter in your efforts to get US and Russia back to talking nuclear disarmament. I also believe what the U.S. did in dropping those two atom bombs on the two cities in Japan in 1945 was WRONG indeed. The U.S. was the first country to use atomic weapons on civilians and as an American and a human being I am ashamed of this. I’m a human being first and foremost and I can never support the murder of tens of thousands of other human beings just like I would never support the mass genocide during the Holocaust. Peace to you and your family Mr. Ritter as well as peace to a very frightening world, at this time in history.

Agree, people that support wars - dead and destruction are bad, people that support LGBP as family values are insane. Twitter freedom of speech, un cazzo (forget it).....

CARMA all will bite back in one or another way......

I will say this like mr. Aleksander told for those people like Zelensky, Biden, Zuckerberg, ecc.....:

"He who thinks he can succeed only by destroying another must know that destruction awaits him at the door of his success."

Elon Musk has never been for free speech. Look at his response to when his workers tried to organize and see what shenanigans he pulled off to repress those people. He's only for free speech insofar as it doesn't affect his bottomline or when it is politically advantageous. Elon Musk would be a nobody if he didn't have a rich emerald mine owning father. One capitalist pig spawned another.

Elon Musk is a global-capitalist with his own agenda.
