U.S. Politicians and Powerful Bureaucrats Using American People as a Continuing Feeding Trough Virtually unrecognized by the people, the United States had its Trojan horses and and out of government. These so-called Trojan horses are the people who undermine major national institutions and national interests. A few of them are listed here. All of them are described in the various books written by and with the input of an unusual group of present and former government agents and other insiders. Blatant In-Your-Face Lying and Deception by White House Politicians As Standard Practice With Tragic Consequences Lying and deception against Americans has been standard procedure for decades. Some segments of this practice has been well publicized. Very few people, however, appear to recognize the extent of the great tragedies inflicted upon America's men, women, and families by this practice. The horror arising from the success of the September 11, 2001, terrorists is only one of the latest examples of the corruption throughout government that has been made possible by cover-ups and lying. This page will attempt to refresh memories or to make these practices and these tragedies recognized. The consequence of this conduct, and the public's continued acceptance of it, will continue the tragedies inflicted on Americans. A few examples of the lying and corruption by people in key government positions follows: Vietnam War. Government spin doctors (i.e. liars) including President Johnson, McNamara, and others, caused America to suffer the brutal deaths of 58,000 Americans--the sons, the fathers, the husbands of those who suffered additional tragedies. Even now, after discovering they had been lied to, virtually no reaction from the public. The war upon an impoverished people that could not be won was escalated by President Lyndon Johnson on false charges that North Vietnam attacked U.S. navy destroyer. Korean War. Another spin by U.S. politicians. Sham excuses, the domino effect, deluded Americans to sacrifice 38,000 Americans and many more wounded and permanently disabled. Government's sham war on drugs. While people in key government offices, including the CIA and the White House during the Contra affair, were involved in smuggling huge quantities of drugs into the United States, and other government personnel were covering up for these crimes, the same group in government was responsible for the legislation and prosecution resulting in hundreds of thousands of men and women being imprisoned on peanut quantities of drugs, sham no-drug conspiracies, sham charges, and other moral and legal crimes. Result of this culture are thousands of murders, escalation of crime, destruction of civil rights, destruction of families, thousands of people sentenced to life in prison. (Detailed in the third edition of Defrauding America and the first edition of Drugging America.) Cover-up of culture of corruption in the Federal Aviation Administration, and the protection of the guilty by every check andbalance, despite decades of air tragedies arising from this culture. The most recent consequence of this practice occurred on September 11, 2001 terrorist hijackers. Other consequences, possibly even worse, will follow as the same people in government responsible for the corruption, the lying, the cover-ups, are in position, along with the incompetents whose incompetency is not difficult to recognize as they make glib statements on television. Invading Panama, killing hundreds, on the pretense that Manuel Noriega was dealing in drugs. He was dealing in drugs for years with the CIA and Israel's Mossad, and the United States had been smuggling drugs for decades, starting with the legislation bringing about the creation of the CIA. Invading Granada on the pretense that a runway was being built for Russian aircraft. That runway was eventually finished and used for the purpose intended all along--promoting tourism. The corruption, and its cover-up, in federal courts, that inflicts great harm upon America's people, especially that in the bankruptcy courts that includes looting the assets of people who naively exercise the statutory protections of Chapter 11. (Details in each of the three books.) Funding Iraq's Saddam Hussein to purchase arms, and then advising that the United States had no objection to the invasion of Kuwait. (Details in third edition of Defrauding America.) October Surprise, during which money and arms were provided to Iran to delay the release of the American hostages. (Details in third edition of Defrauding America.) Government corruption, lying, and cover-ups in many other areas of harmful corrupt activities. These are detailed in each of the three books. Blatant In-Your-Face Lying By Members of Congress |As Standard and Tragic Practice As detailed in the books, members of Congress have for decades covered up for corrupt and criminal activities, some of which were resulting in deaths and others inflicting harm upon national security. Their failure to act, or active cover-ups, were federal crimes, and enabled to occur some of America's most tragic events. Former federal agent Rodney Stich was so outraged by their conduct that he filed a federal lawsuit against several members of Congress on the basis of the felony cover-ups and complicity. (MS Word) (Adobe PDF) In answering the lawsuit, the members of Congress admitted being told of the criminal activities, that they did nothing in response, but that they were totally immune under the Speech and Debate clause. (That clause did not apply to felony obstruction of justice.) U.S. Media People and Media Corporations Shilling For the Powerful in Government Starting while Stich was a federal aviation safety inspector, while airline crashes were occurring seemingly every few months--including those occurring in his immediate area of federal aviation safety responsibilities--media people repeatedly covered up for the misconduct being brought to them. Their cover-ups enabled the corruption and the tragedies to continue. Years later, as Stich discovered other areas of corruption in government offices from his many gover4nment contacts, he again informed media people of these facts, and again encountered a cover-up. Books have been written, and newspaper articles written, on the practice of CIA and other government offices secretly paying media people to control what is said or printed in the media. Lying by Military Officers Appearing in the Media During the Vietnam War, U.S. military leaders repeatedly lied to the American people to keep them from learning about the huge numbers of U.S. service personnel being killed and the obvious inability to win the war started by the United States. The same occurs and is occurring in Iraq, as military leaders speak about the successes—while conditions were worsening. It was profitable to lie—and it was harmful to tell the truth. Those who did, suffered various forms of retaliation. Care-Less Culture of Many Americans Murder rate comparable with Iraq. Drug users knowingly funding brutal drug cartels, murders, and other crimes. Those who vote for politicians who knowingly engaged in deadly lies, deception and conduct with danger of plunging the United States into a nuclear war. Continuing to vote for politicians that lied the United States into (a) the Korean War and 38,000 dead GIs; (b) the Vietnam War with 58,000 dead GIs. As a culture, America has become more arrogant and with far fewer percentage of people with high ideals. Sampling of 50 Years of Corruption-Enabled Tragedies— Made Possible by American Public Indifference To the Perpetrators/Enablers Harm to the American public in non-violent areas. Harm to people of other countries. Harm to the few people in the United States fighting the high-level corruption in a meaningful manner. Harm in general. Harm inflicted on former federal agent and whistleblower during multiple schemes to silence him. Sampling of Early Consequences TWA Flight 800 U.S. Embassy Bombings 9/11 Easily-Preventable Multiple Hijackings These few examples of the horrors associated with airline disasters enabled to occur by documented corruption withheld from the American people. The standard culture of cover-ups in the United States enabled the corruption, cover-ups, to mutate into different areas. In the aviation area, although the continuing series of airline disasters eventually came to a halt for other reasons, the culture continued, and enabled to occur a number of easily preventable airline disasters. The inbred culture created the conditions that enabled four groups of terrorists to easily hijack four airliners within a few hours of each other and kill nearly 3,000 people. One of Over 200 Victims Choosing This Way to Die— Made Possible by Many Enablers in United States Consequences of Corruption, Cover-Ups, And Retaliation Felonies Not Limited to Aviation There were many other forms of victims from the systemic high-level corruption. These included for instance victims of the: Department of Justice prosecutorial misconduct, people being falsely charges with crimes in order to improve the prosecutors' career. The explosion of violent crime related to drug smuggling into the United States, in which CIA assets were major players. Series of financial frauds appearing every few years, with the latest housing and financial implosions surfacing in 2008. Seizure of assets from innocent people. And many other forms. These offenses are described in the books written by insiders. Corruption of the Type Described at this site does not occur in a vacuum. High-level corruption in one area is simply one tentacle of a widespread culture of corruption. And the consequences of that corruption−and the endemic cover-ups−have consequences in other areas. The culture of corruption affects the people and the nation in many other ways, That includes the latest series of financial frauds that has occurred in the housing and financial sectors. Also, the effect of the endemic corruption and endemic cover-ups−major parts of the culture in the United States−that enablers successful terrorist attacks upon U.S. interests. Harm to People Overseas From Culture Of High-Level Corruption and Lies in the United States In addition to the decades of harm resulting from the systemic corruption of key people and groups in the U.S. government, affecting aviation safety, financial, human rights, in the United States, there is the harm from outside sources brought about by the actions of U.S. politicians affecting people in other countries—such as the history of invading and killing foreigners—there are the successful "terrorist" attacks made possible by high-level corruption, and then there are the foreigners who are also victims from the same high-level corruption that adversely affects the American, but in a different form. Remains of a girl—about the age of the 9-year-old Killed in Tucson in January 2011. In criminal law, people are accomplices, and guilty, if they know of a criminal act and fail to report it to proper authorities and also to take efforts within their capability to halt their continuation. And there are endless numbers of accomplices that are complicit in these crimes and enablers of the consequences. Suggestion to people outside the United States. Become familiar with the documented systemic corruption in the United States and show the outrage lacking of people in the United States, and: Help expose the endemic corruption that seem to be acceptable to the American people, and maybe wake them up. Help to protect yourselves against the decades of ham inflicted upon people of other countries by the actions of U.S. politicians—supported by much of the American public. Examples: Serial lying by U.S. politicians to use as a pretense to invade Iraq and Afghanistan, killing tens of thousands of innocent people. U.S. politicians shifting enabling blame from their own corrupt actions that encouraged and enabled four groups of terrorists to simultaneously hijack four airliners, and shift the blame to the people of Iraq and Afghanistan—with the help of a dumbed-down American public that is mostly too lazy to learn the truth.
