The US govt seized Scott Ritter's passport a month back as he was on a plane to speak in Russia. Not explanation was given. Now they raided his house and charged him with violating the FARA act. I heard you could convict at least 10,000 in DC are alone for this. I recall the US govt also charged some old black socialists in FL for the same crime, the so called Uhuru party.
Ritter has been an outspoken critic of the US involvement in Ukraine and recently against Israel.
Now the US govt has denied entry to a German politician, a member of the AFD party perhaps for a meme.

The Border Patrol and the FBI denies a German economist entry to the USA:
An economist affiliated with Germany’s conservative Alternative for Germany (AfD) party was detained and interrogated for over 10 hours at a Chicago airport. His phone was seized by authorities allegedly for an offensive meme.
Jurij Christopher Kofner arrived at the Chicago airport on Sunday, July 20, following a 12-hour flight from his hometown of Munich, Bavaria, after which he was immediately detainedby the United States Border Patrol and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Kofner, a self-described “ordoliberal” – a German variant of classical liberalism – was set to attend a weeklong seminar in Springfield, Illinois on “Classical Liberalism and Business” at the University of Illinois, Springfield, organized by the American Institute of Economic Research and the Academy on Capitalism.
Following the conclusion of Kofner’s 10-hour ordeal – during which he noted he was subjected to “random questioning” – he was ultimately refused entry into the United States. Furthermore, his phone was confiscated by authorities for allegedly containing an offending meme. His laptop was also confiscated and subjected to an electronic search, but was later sent back to his home in Munich. His phone remains in U.S. custody “for further analysis.”
The meme in question featured President Joe Biden and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as soldiers on D-Day with the caption, in German: “Warmongers in the front row, as it should be.”
