"'''"Scott Ritter''' appears in Infrared streams in a critical register — Haz mocking the way Ritter is heroized by parts of the right.

== From the [https://infrared-transcripts.pages.dev/en/kick/infrared/007a6ff2-3861-4c00-af25-e5aff3e9d04c/ COMMUNISM WINNING | INFRAWOKE stream] ==
Riffing on Caleb Maupin's rally aesthetics — the white suit, the megaphone, the crowd of seniors in blue shirts:

> "They're making it seem like he's a hero... 'Scott Ritter, Scott Ritter!' I mean, they're making it seem like this guy is heroic. Scott Ritter always lies all the time. He's always just bullshitting all the time... Imagine: a room with 12 senior citizens, told to wear blue shirts, and you wear the white outfit..."

== The nuance ==
Haz's critique here is of the '''hero-worship economy''' of alt-media — retired officials repackaged as oracle-figures — not necessarily a rejection of Ritter's Iraq-inspection record itself. The lesson Haz draws elsewhere (the laptop, Douma, OPCW) stands on documents and physical evidence, not on authority-figures of either establishment or anti-establishment variety ([[OPCW]], [[Bread and Circuses]]).
