Ukraine’s State Department- and NATO-directed Center for Countering Disinformation (CCD) issued two new notices in the past five days again fingering U.S. former Marine arms inspector Scott Ritter as a “Russian propagandist” obstructing the war against Russia. Ritter was included on the infamous target list published by the CCD on July 14th against 72 prominent voices speaking out for peace internationally.
Clearly driving the new attacks is the growing concern of the CCD and its foreign controllers that Scott Ritter along with others on that list are not only refusing to cower in the face of these threats, but have been collaborating among each other. They are demanding that foreign backing for the CCD be terminated immediately, including by holding a press conference to expose this operation on Sept. 7, which EIR is hosting.
On Sept. 1, the CCD posted a note on its Telegram channels which singled out Ritter, as an example of “How the Distorting Mirror of Russian Propaganda Works.” On Sept. 4, it again named Ritter in its “Experts of the Week” post, targeting him there for implying “the lack of support for Ukraine in the U.S.,” and linking to its Sept. 1 post.
