Introduction

This page is about FBI agents in the Boston and New York offices were involved with organized crime and Mafia bosses in serial murders, the criminal culture in the FBI and other Department of Justice offices that covered up, and how the scheme by DOJ personnel to cover up for the FBI murders required withholding information on several planned terrorist attacks that eventually occurred, with the deaths of nearly 4,000 people.

Highlights, as obtained by former federal agent Rodney Stich from the following key sources and government documents:

• A former Mafia soldier whose father was a Mafia capo in New York City known as "The Killing Machine," and who committed a series of murders with the help of a key FBI supervisor in the FBI's New York City offices. At another site, this Mafia soldier is shown as infiltrating the top al Qaeda cell headed by the infamous Ramzi Yousef, receiving information on planned terrorist attacks on major U.S. targets. To find out why almost 4,000 people were killed in these forewarned terrorist attacks−enabled by additional corrupt acts by high-level FBI-DOJ personnel, click here. See also letters sent by Stich to people in government relating to these matters−not a single recipient responding!

• A former FBI agent whose immediate boss was that FBI supervisor.

• Numerous FBI 302 reports.

• Stich's 40 years of experience with FBI-DOJ personnel, starting while he was a key federal agent responsible for airline safety.

• His coalition of other insiders.

NYC FBI Supervising Agent Involved
In Multiple Murders With The
Mafia's "Killing Machine"

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.

Boston FBI Agents Also Involved In
Multiple Murders With 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.

Nationwide Media Blackout

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. Obviously, the misuse of FBI offices and FBI agents in murders constituted a culture incredibly dangerous to the people of the United States. Almost every newspaper and TV commentator kept the lid on this scandal, except for a few local newspapers in the New York City area.

Sampling of Letters Reporting FBI Murders,
Relationship to 9/11—and Total Cover-Up

After learning from his inside sources about the FBI agents involvement in multiple murders, Stich wrote letters to several members of Congress, including those who investigated the FBI murders in Boston. He advised 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.

In 2003, every member of the House Judiciary Committee were sent letters by former federal agent Rodney Stich, informing them of the murders involving FBI supervisor Lindley DeVecchio with a dreaded Mafia capo. Members of Congress were offered the names of two insiders with direct knowledge of the murders and related crimes, which also revealed the corrupt culture in the Department of Justice. Not a single member of that House Judicial Committee responded. Ironically, at that same time, these house members were conducting hearings on murders involving FBI agents in the Boston offices, further revealing the corrupt and deadly culture in the Department of Justice. The letters offered evidence on such issues as:

• Representative Henry Waxman, February 16, 2003. Offering to provide evidence of areas of corruption that I and a group of other former federal agents had discovered. (MS Word) (Adobe pdf)
   

• Representative F. James Sensenbrenner, March 12, 2003.  Chairman of Judiciary Committee. No response. (Word) (Adobe pdf)
   

• July 1, 2003, letter to Representative Henry Waxman seeking to provide the names of Mafia and mobster members who could provide testimony on FBI criminal activities. (MS Word) (Adobe PDF)
   

• July 14, 2003, letter to Chairman Tom Davis of the Committee on Government Reform seeking to provide evidence of a series of murders perpetrated by a key FBI supervisor in the New York City offices. No response! (MS Word) (Adobe PDF)
   

• August 1, 2003 letter to Representative  Waxman. (MS Word) (Adobe PDF) He never requested the important information.
   

• Representative Tom Davis letter, October 23, 2003. Chairman Committee on Government Reform, offering to provide evidence of FBI agents providing classified information to Mafia figures; FBI agents involved in bank robberies and murders with Mafia figures, enlarging upon similar misconduct by FBI agents in the Boston area associated with a string of murders and other crimes. Stich offered to provide the names of his sources, including a former key member of the Colombo Mafia family in New York; a former underworld figure that was an associate of Jimmy Hoffa; Las Vegas mobster Tony Spilotro (the key figure in the movie, Casino); and a former FBI agent from the New York office, all of whom had key inside information on these serious crimes that involved FBI and DOJ officials in Washington. The following letter to Representative Davis was similar to those sent to every other members of the House Judiciary Committee: (MS Word ) (Adobe PDF)
   

• October 27, 2003, letter to Representative Davis. (MS Word) (Adobe PDF)
   
• Senator Diane Feinstein, October 27, 2003. No response. (Word) (Adobe pdf)
   
• April 5, 2005, letter to Representative William Delahunt of Massachusetts, concerning the murders perpetrated by FBI Supervisory Special Agent DeVecchio. (MS Word) (Adobe PDF).

• February 16, 2007, letter to Representative Waxman. (MS Word) (Adobe PDF)
   
• Letters sent to over 50 members of the U.S. Senate and House on January 23, 2009. (MS Word) (Adobe PDF) List of the house and senate members receiving the communications. None responded, continuing 40 years of insiders providing information on numerous criminal activities continuing to inflict great harm upon the American people and national security.
   
• Forty years of letters were sent to members of Congress by government insider informing the recipients of specific areas of corruption in key government positions that were associated with various harm to the United States, and offering to provide evidence. Almost every recipient refused to respond.

Murder Charges Filed by Brooklyn District Attorney: 2006

In 2006, due to considerable media publicity, the Brooklyn district attorney finally was forced to file murder charges against former FBI agent DeVecchio, based in part upon the information provided by Gregory Scarpa, Jr. These charges then brought New York State politicians into the matter. By putting them on notice, the cover-up evidence then expanded.

• April 5, 2006, letter sent to Kings County (Brooklyn) District Attorney offering insider information on the murders by the FBI supervisor. No response. (MS Word) (Adobe PDF)
   

• A January 10, 2009, letter was sent to New York Governor David Paterson. (MS Word format) (Adobe PDF format), Copies of that letter were sent to members of Congress starting on January 22, 2009, that provides highlights on such closely as:

  • Years of murders of U.S. citizens implicating FBI agents working secretly with organized crime and Mafia figures.
     

  • A Mafia soldier acting as a mole inside the al Qaeda cell headed by Ramzi Yousef, the master mind behind the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center and the planned bombings of 11 U.S. airliners departing Far East locations. Months of reports to FBI personnel in the New York City area recognize the value of the information and the credibility of the mole risking his family's safety so as to continue obtaining the insider information on the planned terrorist attacks.
     

  • High FBI-DOJ officials refusing to recognize both the value of the planned terrorist attacks and the credibility of the mole. Why? The mole was scheduled to testify in several murder trials about the murders involving his father, known as "The Killing Machine," and FBI supervisor Lindley DeVecchio. That testimony would not only expose the murders by that FBI supervisor but also the complicity of high FBI-DOJ officials who covered up for the relationship over a period of many years.
     

  • The subsequent carrying out of the terrorist attacks, with an immediate death toll of 4,000 people. These were the anticipated collateral damage for the self-serving actions of high FBI-DOJ officials.
     

  • Further damage resulted from the criminal misuse by DOJ personnel of the raw power of the U.S. Department of Justice. This included filing false charges against FBI Special Agent Richard Taus (highly decorated Vietnam War pilot and hero), and the complicity of Brooklyn and Nassau County district attorneys in New York. Taus has been incarcerated in prison at Dannemora, New York with a 50 year prison sentence on false charges so as to insure his information on corruption that he discovered as part of his professional duties for the FBI would never been known by the public. These crimes included:

    • Secret funding and arming of Iraq during the 1980s by a local CIA operation, carrying out secret White House directives.
       

    • Crimes of various organized crime figures.
       

    • Crimes of his immediate supervisor, Lindley DeVecchio, later charges in 2006 with four murders by the Brooklyn district attorney.

The letter sent to New York Government David Paterson addressed serious misconduct that played a key role in the deaths of several thousand people from forewarned terrorist attacks upon U.S. targets. If given sufficient publicity to force an investigation, the American public would−or should−be outraged about the ripple effects from still another form of misconduct in government. Highlights in the letter follows, with the actual letters at the end of this page:

• Former FBI Special Agent falsely charged with criminal offense, sentenced to 50 years in prison, so as to prevent the American public from learning about high-level criminal activities involving the secret funding and arming of Iraq during the 1980s, the Reagan-Bush presidencies.
   

• Mafia soldier acting as a mole inside a key al Qaeda cell headed by Ramzi Yousef, the mastermind behind the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center and the planner behind the planned bombing of a dozen U.S. airliners department Far East locations.
   

• Advance information provided by the al Qaeda mole to FBI agents−shortly before the terrorist attacks did occur.
   

• Refusal by high FBI-DOJ officials to act on the knowledge so as to discredit the al Qaeda mole. The reason to discredit him? He was to testify about during upcoming criminal trials about the murders involving a key FBI supervisor with the mole's father who was known as "The Killing Machine."
   

• The expected trade off for this cover-up? Several thousand killed in the terrorist attacks that did occur, and which plunged the United States into actions that killed many more, with massive consequences that will haunt thee American people for years.
   

• The sacrifice of a highly decorated Vietnam helicopter pilot who repeatedly risked his life to save wounded soldiers.

• On January 22, 2009, and continuing for several days, a cover letter was sent to nearly 50 House and Senate members outlining the corrupt involvement discussed here, and the sacrifice of lives lost in several terrorist attacks when high FBI-DOJ officials chose to cover up for the advance warnings of the attacks. Copy of that fax: (MS Word) (Adobe PDF)
   

• Letter to New York Governor Paterson, February 1, 2009. (MS Word) (Adobe PDF) The letter sent to New York Governor David Paterson provided insider information on murders in the state of New York and the cover-up by a Brooklyn district attorney.
   

• Letter dated February 6, 2009, to Brooklyn district attorney Charles Hynes seeking to reinstate murder charges against former FBI supervisor Lindley DeVecchio (with copy to New York Governor David Paterson). Hynes was forced to file murder charges against the key FBI supervisor due to considerable media publicity, which was then followed by unprecedented dropping of charges as considerable evidence was being presented. The intent of that letter was: (MS Word) (Adobe PDF)

Charges Could Not Be Ignored

This letters by a former federal agent and offering key witnesses to events relating to enormously important national security matters included specific charges relating to:

• Murders involving FBI agents in the Boston FBI offices secretly acting with brutal organized crime figures.
   

• Murders directly involving one FBI supervisor in the New York City offices working secretly with a Mafia capo known as "The Killing Machine."
   

• A Mafia soldier acting as a mole inside the al Qaeda cell headed by the infamous Ramzi Yousef, the mastermind behind the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center and the mastermind behind the planned bombings of four U.S. airliners department Far East locations.
   

• Considerable inside information on al Qaeda activities and terrorist plans were obtained from Yousef and passed to local FBI agents, who valued the information and considered the mole creditable. The planned terrorist attacks included (a) downing a U.S. airliner; (b) bombing of U.S. Embassies in Africa; and (c) the hijackings of U.S. airliners.
   

• Instead of acting on this critical information of the planned terrorist attacks, higher FBI-DOJ officials sequestered the information, thereby blocking any actions that could have been taken to prevent the attacks.
   

• Reason for refusing to act on the mole's explosive information? The mole was scheduled to testify in several murder trials about his knowledge of the murders involving a key FBI supervisor and the mole's father−known as "The Killing Machine."
   

• Shortly after the mole revealed the planned terrorist attacks to local FBI personnel, there following occurred: (a) TWA  Flight 800 exploded in air (1996); (b) bombings of three U.S. Embassies in the African countries of Kenya and Tanzania (1998); and (c) the hijackings of three U.S. airliners on September 11, 2001.
   

• False charges and imprisonment of an FBI agent to silence his reports of corruption by his FBI supervisor (who was involved in murders) and his reports of secret funding and arming of Iraq during the 1980s−which would have embarrassed White House politicians. That FBI agent was a highly decorated Vietnam War pilot and a Lt. Col in the Army Reserve.
   

• Retaliation by Department of Justice personnel against the mole so as to prevent the public from learning of the involvement of key FBI personnel in murders, and the heavy loss of life that could probably have been prevented if high FBI-DOJ personnel chose to protect, instead, themselves.
   

• Hundreds of pages of FBI documents and communications between the former FBI agent and the mole with this writer, himself a former federal agent, supports the truth of these statements.
   

• In 2003, this writer offered, in letters to every member of the House Judiciary Committee, hundreds of pages of documents and communications from the two insiders that had direct knowledge of these offences and to provide the names of them. Not a single member of Congress responded, despite the horrendous loss of life that had already been made possible by the misconduct, and that which would be lost from continuation of this culture, they chose to again ignore the public and the country's welfare.

Significance of Total Cover-Up

The issue of murder of American citizens by FBI agents was obviously of enormous interest to the security of the United States, But an even more serious relationship was how the murders by the New York City supervising FBI agent played on the withholding of information on planned terrorist attacks that would kill almost 4,000 people.

The facts strongly indicate that the 100 percent non-response by members of Congress to letters from key insiders about matters already involved in catastrophic events was to avoid making a record showing that they were informed of these matters and engaged in cover-ups, which were crimes under the obstruction of justice statutes.

A list showing hundreds of letters over a period of years, with the almost 100 percent non-response, provides further support to not wishing to be shown as having been informed.

Fed Cover-Ups Temporarily 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:

The 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. 

Indication of DOJ Pressure to Drop Murder Charges

After being forced to file murder charges against former FBI supervisor Lindley DeVecchio, the Brooklyn district attorney suddenly dropped the charges. The details are shown in the book by former federal agent Rodney Stich: Crimes of the FBI-DOJ, and the Mafia.

Attempted Murder of Key
Private Investigator

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 linked 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.

Consequences of Cover-Ups
