Live dialogue with Helga Zepp-LaRouche and Scott Ritter
January 8, 2025, 12.30 pm EDT/6:30 p.m. (CET)
“Change Course Now – We Need a New Paradigm!”
On January 8, 2025, Helga Zepp-LaRouche will hold a dialogue on the current political situation with former UN weapons inspector and anti-war activist Scott Ritter.
Ritter is known internationally for his opposition to the neocon foreign policy and military policy in the United States and Europe. He served as an intelligence officer in the Marine Corps. He later served as a weapons inspector with the United Nations Special Commission in Iraq (UNSCOM mission) from 1991 to 1998. In this context, he emerged as a harsh critic of the Bush administration’s claims that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction, which was used to justify the 2003 war against Iraq.
Scott Ritter is an author, a member of the Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS), and a frequent commentator on international podcasts. His latest book, Disarmament in an Era of Perestroika: Arms Control and the End of the Soviet Union, details his experience working with the Soviet Union to reduce the threat of nuclear war. He has spoken at conferences of the international Schiller Institute, including a high-level press conference on the acute danger of nuclear war in Washington in June 2024.
