How bad is it? I shared this in my new Twitter account but I'm afraid to on Facebook, this could get me banned for another year on Facebook. I don't really like Ritter he just rubs me wrong, especially with the stuff he said about Lira when Lira was calling it right long before him, but my Jesuit friends tell me Ritter was set up with kiddie porn to discredit him, so there must be something good about him, he has the right enemies

Ritter was for sure set up with kiddie porn and absent from any commentary until recently. The only problem I have with him is he sometimes ventures outside of areas in which he has expertise. I couldn't post this on Facebook because I am currently banned for 3 days. Russia is saying they can fix the pipelines (an overture to Germany, whose economy will be totally destroyed without Russian gas) - even though Russia has plenty of customers for its gas in Asia and Siberia. I think the successful referenda are more politically important right now. Once the upper house approves them, Russia will be defending sovereign territory - a view supported by the vast majority of the world outside of the US and occupied Europe.

Thanks. I have lots of respect for Ritter. I first encountered him in 2001 when he was doing a national tour trying to stop the US invasion of Iraq.
