From the list of Saddam's Oil for Food Vouchers, as published in Iraq in 2004:

U.S.A.
1. Shaker Al-Khaffaji 7 million
2. Samir Vincent 10.5 million

Shaker Al-Khaffaji (7 million barrels) advanced $400,000 to Scott Ritter, former U.N. weapons inspector in Iraq. Ritter produced a documentary purporting to tell the true story of the weapons inspections, which in his telling were corrupted by sinister U.S. manipulation. [47]


memri.org

So, money flows from Saddam to Shaker Al Khaffaji to Scott Ritter. And by the most amazing coincidence, Scott Ritter's story about Saddams weapons changes from warning that he was still dangerous in 1999 to saying he had no WMDS in 2002.

Now during the time in question there were no weapons inspections going on at all, so what happened to change Ritter's mind? Something had to change, right? What is there besides the money?

Of course you won't answer because "I lost the debate".

I think you are confusing "shouting down" with "debate".
