Relating to FBI Criminality In the various books written by former federal agent Rodney Stich, especially Defrauding America and Drugging America, he details actions by people in the FBI and the other Department of Justice divisions that meet the definition of criminal acts. These crimes are not simply of academic interest. They brought about immeasurable human tragedies affecting tens of thousands of men, women, and children, and continue to undermine the internal security of the United States. Among the corrupt practices by FBI and DOJ personnel, discovered by former federal agent Rodney Stich and his group of other federal agents, and described in the books, are the following examples: Cover-ups of air safety and criminal violations related to a series of fatal airline crashes. (As detailed in the third editions of Unfriendly Skies and Defrauding America.) Cover-ups of drug smuggling into the United States by the CIA and other government entities and covert operations. Cover-ups of deeply entrenched corruption in the bankruptcy courts involving federal judges, judge-appointed trustees, Justice Department trustees, lawyers, law firms, and people working with them--including the CIA. Close working relationship with organized crime figures, including serial murderers, and cover-up of murders and other crimes perpetrated by mobsters. Involved in assassinations. Misusing raw government power to silence or discredit whistleblowers, including former federal agents, who try to expose corrupt and criminal activities as described in the books. FBI agents providing false statements and perjured testimony, and arranging for perjured testimony to grand juries and trial juries by other government agents and government informants. Providing false laboratory reports to falsely convict and imprison men and women. Brutality and lying in the Waco massacre. Brutality and lying in the Ruby Ridge murders. Lying that results in tens of thousands of men and women charged, convicted, and incarcerated. FBI Agents Involved in Murders with Boston Mobsters Around the year 2000, sufficient information was uncovered by media investigators and published in Boston area newspapers that enabled state prosecutors to charge FBI agents in the Boston office with criminal activities spanning several decades, which included FBI agents providing information on government informants to organized crime figures that knowingly resulted in the assassination of those working with government agents. This is described in the fourth edition of Defrauding America and several other books written by Rodney Stich. This publicity forced a congressional investigation into FBI misconduct to issue a two-volume report (February 3, 2004) titled, "Everything Secret Degenerates: The FBI's Use of Murderers As Informants." That report focused on FBI agents in the Boston area being involved in murders, providing information to organized crime figures, and protecting murderers from being prosecuted. FBI Agent and Multiple Murders in New York City During this period, in 2002, former federal agent Rodney Stich was receiving letters from a former New York City Colombo Mafiosi, Gregory Scarpa, Jr, with whom Stich had a book contract. Gregory's father was a boss in the Colombo Mafia, who for many years had a secret relationship with FBI Supervisory Special Agent Lindley DeVecchio. Gregory provided Stich with detailed information about how his father and DeVecchio secretly met and engaged in bank robberies and murders. Department of Justice prison officials eventually blocked Gregory Scarpa from providing Stich with additional information At the same time, Stich was receiving insider information from two other sources that had information about FBI agent DeVecchio. One was a former FBI agent who worked under DeVecchio, a former highly decorated Vietnam War military pilot and Lt. Col. in the New York national guard. The other one was a former friend of Jimmy Hoffa and who socialized with Las Vegas and Los Angeles mobsters, including Tony Spilotro (portrayed in the movie, Casino) and Eddie Nash (involved in the famous four-on-the-floor murders in Hollywood. As a cellmate to Gregory Scarpa, he provided additional information on the murders committed by the FBI agent. In 2006, the Brooklyn district attorney office circumvented the DOJ block and charged DeVecchio with multiple murders while on FBI duty., These details are in the book, FBI, CIA, the Mob, and Treachery. Nationwide Media Blackout On FBI Criminal Culture and Murders Carrying out the practice seen for many decades, most of the nation's media kept a blackout on the FBI murders in the Boston and New York offices and the complicity of high FBI-DOJ officials in Washington. Almost every newspaper and TV commentator kept the lid on this scandal, except for a few newspapers in the New York City area. These matters are particularly detailed in several books written by Rodney Stich, including FBI, CIA, the Mob, and Treachery. Congressional Cover-Ups of FBI Criminal Culture This information was critical to understanding the corrupt culture in the FBI and the urgent need to investigate this matter. This culture undoubtedly played a role in the FBI's failure to act on the known intelligence and hijacking scheme of the 9/11 terrorists. In 2002, former federal agent wrote letters to several members of Congress, including those who investigated the FBI murders in Boston, advising them that he was a former federal agent and that he had contacts who knew of and participated in similar criminality in the FBI's New York offices. Stich urged them to immediately contact him so that he could provide information and the names of these people. Not a single recipient of the letters responded. It is very possible that members of Congress are in a Catch-22 situation, in that if Stich was allowed to present his information, much of it documented, it would start to reveal the decades of criminal activities, the cover-ups, and the consequences, in which they were implicated. Members of Congress Blocking Investigations One of the letters was to Chairman Tom Davis of the Committee on Government Reform, dated July 4, 2003. There was no response, despite the gravity of showing FBI agents in other offices engaging in murders by criminally misusing their FBI offices and positions.

(MS Word) (Adobe PDF) Another letter was sent to committee member Congressman Henry Waxman seeking to provide the names of Mafia and mobster members who cold provide testimony on FBI criminal activities. August 1, 2003 letter to Congressman Waxman. (MS Word) (Adobe PDF) He never requested the important information. Waxman did send me a July 14, 2003, letter stating: "Thank you for your correspondence regarding the House Government Reform Committee's recent hearings on the Department of Justice's use of informants. Per your request, I have enclosed a copy of William Bulger's testimony before the committee. No attempt was made to get the information from a Mafia insider or another source who was part of the Las Vegas and Los Angeles underworld and had frequent contact with the former Mafia source. Each of them could reveal the treacherous FBI conduct in the New York FBI offices that was a duplication of what existed in the FBI Boston offices. Understanding the multiple locations for such FBI criminality would reveal the culture of those in control of the FBI offices. Further, the title of the committee's report showed the committee wasn't interested in the deep-seated criminality in the FBI but in the FBI's use of informants. While that was an issue, the far bigger issue was the culture of criminal misconduct in the FBI, something that Stich had been documenting from the time he was a federal agent many years earlier. Another important aspect of this form of FBI criminality--and the felony cover-up by members of Congress--is that it hides the culture in the FBI that contributed to its dismal response to pre-9/11 intelligence. The present cover-up doesn't change that culture, with expectations that further preventable tragedies will fall upon the United States and its people, just as happened on 9/11. One of Several Letters That Were Ignored Letter by former federal agent Rodney Stich to Congressman William Delahunt from Massachusetts, who played a role in helping to bring charges against FBI Supervisory Agent DeVecchio after every federal body covered up. (MS Word) (Adobe PDF). The interesting part of this was what Delahunt did in response to that letter: nothing, no response. A private citizen would be charged with obstruction of justice under Title 18 U.S.C. § 4, and other criminal statutes, and sent to prison. Fed Cover-Ups Circumvented by New York State District Attorney In March 2006, three years after Stich offered insider evidence of criminality in the New York FBI offices to members of Congress, a Brooklyn district attorney charged retired FBI agent Lindley DeVecchio with involvement in multiple murders. One of many such media reports in the New York area newspapers, a New York Times article (March 31, 2006), stated in part: Thee office of the Brooklyn district attorney announced the indictment of Mr. DeVecchio on charges that he had helped his informant [Gregory Scarpa, Sr.] commit four mob murders in the 1980s and 1990, accepting weekly payoffs totaling more than $66,000. Prosecutor Mr. Vecchione, in arguing against bail for Mr. DeVecchio, went through each of the murders, detailing what he said was Mr. DeVecchio's reasons for "instructing" his informant, Gregory Scarpa Sr., to commit the killings. Letter sent to Kings County (Brooklyn) District Attorney offering insider information provided by former New York Mafia source and by FBI agent who worked under FBI Supervisory Agent DeVecchio and who was pulled off criminal investigations (to protect Mafia groups). (MS Word) (Adobe PDF) National Security Significance of FBI Agents Involved in Murders With Organized Crime As described in Defrauding America, the several decades of FBI agent's involvement in murders in the Boston office was known to FBI and Department of Justice Headquarters, including FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, who become complicit in the crimes. Obviously, the misuse of FBI offices and FBI agents in murders constituted a culture incredibly dangerous to the people of the United States. These crimes existed prior to 9/11, and the culture obviously affected the performance of the FBI and should have been of major attention to then 9/11 Commission, which covered up for the corrupt culture in the FBI, in the FAA, and in the CIA. Cover-Ups by Media People Dozens of articles addressed the FBI criminality by newspapers in the Boston area, and then in the New York City area. But the media in the remainder of the country was mostly silent on this important matter. Atempted Murder to Halt State Prosecution of FBI Agent As described in Defrauding America and Drugging America, and Those Ugly Americans: 20th & 21st Centuries, it is dangerous, sometimes fatal, to expose corruption of people in control of the FBI and other Department of Justice divisions. (The same can be said about exposing corrupt federal judges). One of the latest examples of how dangerous this can be was the attempted murder of a petit 5-foot-4 mother of three: Angela Clemente, on June 16, 2006. Clemente was a well-known forensic-intelligence analyst who took an interest in the murderous conduct of FBI Supervisory Agent Lindley DeVecchio. She spent years obtaining information about his relationship with Colombo mafia boss Gregory Scarpa. Her information, along with others, helped motivate Brooklyn District Attorney Michael Vecchione to file murder charges against retired FBI Supervisory Agent DeVecchio in early 2006. The attempted murder of Angela Clemente was described in an article in the New York Post (June 17, 2006), part of which is shown here: The gutsy single mom who helped prosecutors crack the case against accused FBI mob mole Lindley DeVecchio was found choked and left for dead early yesterday in a remote section of Brooklyn. Cops, responding to a 911 call at 5.45 a.m., found Angela Clemente in the driver's seat of her car, it's door open, her body sprawled half in and half out, near the Caesar's Bay strip mall in Bensonhurst. From her bed at Lutheran Hospital in Brooklyn, where she suffered a seizure yesterday while being treated for neck and body injuries, a groggy Clemente told investigators she had received several messages from her assailant before agreeing to the early-morning meeting. Her bearded would-be informant got into her black Hyundai and started talking about the case. She told investigators he pretended he had information. And then, Clemente said, he asked her, "Are you going to continue on this case?" "Yes," she answered. With that, she told cops, he whacked her on the right side of her body with something hard, and then put his hands around her neck and started choking her. Apparently convinced he had killed her, he took off. At 5:45 a.m. Clemente was spotted lying halfway out of her car door by a passing dog-walker and a jogger. She didn't know the name of her assailant, but she did provide cops with a description. She remained in the hospital, under police guard. [She had] made a phone call to a journalist about midnight, informing the reporter about the meeting. "If I'm not back by 6 a.m. call the Brooklyn prosecutor," the reporter claimed Clemente said. The journalist called the DA's office at 7 a.m. Prosecutors made calls and learned of the attack. Assistant Brooklyn DA Michael Vecchione, the prosecutor who credited Clemente with helping him get a murder indictment against [retired FBI Supervisory Agent] DeVecchio, believes the attack is liked to the former G-man. Vecchione also would not discount the possibility that the murder attempt was the work of DeVecchio sympathizers, some of whom are former FBI agents. Earlier this month, Vecchione complained in court that some witnesses had been harassed by DeVecchio's FBI buddies. The ongoing saga about that case, the FBI and DOJ, is described in the book, FBI, CIA, the Mob, and Treachery. The book starts out with the war experiences of Richard Taus in Vietnam, who later became an FBI agent. Taus worked under DeVecchio. The considerable information provided to Stich over the years by Taus (along with information provided to Stich by the son of the Colombo mafia boss Gregory Scarpa, and another former mobster), caused Stich to write that book. Based upon years of being a confidant to many other government agents, former drug smugglers and mafia people, Stich discovered intrigue far beyond the imagination of almost anyone. This food-for-thought site attempts to inform concerned people about the harm suffered by people who sought to expose corruption in which FBI and DOJ people were implicated, either directly, or through cover-ups. The following are only a few of the people who suffered, and who are described in Defrauding America and Drugging America. Richard Taus. Former Lt. Col. in Army National Guard, highly decorated Vietnam veteran, and former FBI Special Agent, working under FBI Supervisory Agent Lindley DeVecchio, the agent charged with multiple murders. Taus "foolishly" attempted to report drug smuggling by people associated with the CIA; corruption in a CIA-front company that was part of the Oliver North Enterprise; unlawful funding and arming of Iraq during the 1980s. To silence and discredit him, FBI-DOJ people falsely charged him with crimes and with the help of a state judge, sentenced Taus to 80 years in prison, where he is not incarcerated at Dannemora, New York. Paul Wilcher, lawyer and confidant to Stich. Found dead after presenting the U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno with information about high-level corruption during the 1980s. Dexter Jacobson, lawyer and confidant to Stich. Found murdered the night before he was to present evidence to the FBI at San Francisco about the massive corruption in the bankruptcy courts involving federal judges, federal trustees, and others. | Rodney Stich, former federal agent, who attempted to expose corruption in various government offices and suffered years of retaliation by DOJ personnel and federal judges acting in a criminal fashion. (Details in Unfriendly Skies, Defrauding America, Drugging America and other books. This is only a starter to the list of people who suffered at the hands of FBI-DOJ people. A good starter on the culture within the FBI would be to read about the FBI agents in the Boston office who, for several decades with the knowledge of top FBI-DOJ officials in Washington, engaged in murders and other crimes with the Bulger crime group. History of Cover-ups By Justice Department Personnel The three books, Unfriendly Skies, Defrauding America, Drugging America, and FBI, CIA, the Mob, and Treachery, provide information on the deep-seated culture of corruption in the various divisions of the U.S. Department of Justice. Justice Department personnel had repeatedly blocked the exposure of the corrupt and criminal acts within the FAA which made possible the September 11, 2001, tragedies. But this is only the start. Justice Department personnel, corruptly misusing their positions of trust, have falsely prosecuted government agents to silence or discredit their exposure of high-level corrupt, criminal, and subversive activities among federal officials. The people responsible for this culture cause the Justice Department to be the most dangerous adversary facing the American people. In the Sacramento courts, DOJ prosecutors charged former federal agent Rodney Stich with criminal contempt of court for: Reporting criminal activities in government offices, which he was required to report, and which DOJ personnel had been feloniously cover-up for years. Exercising federal defenses against the massive civil rights violations that were part of parallel efforts to halt his exposure activities.
