Lawyers and Judges Qualifying California Courts As A Racketeering Enterprise Former federal agent Rodney Stich and a group of other former government agents sought to report and expose vast areas of corruption in government offices that they had discovered during their official government duties. These exposure activities threatened many people, including those who feloniously covered up for the crimes. Somewhere in a powerful government office a scheme was concocted to halt the exposure activities that were led by former federal agent Rodney Stich, The scheme did not go as planned, and resulted in an expansion of the documented corruption far beyond anyone's imagination. This page gives highlights of these events. The scheme started out using the CIA-front law firm of Friedman, Sloan and Ross (San Francisco) and lawyers, filing a bizarre and sham lawsuit in the California courts at Fairfield, California. That part of the early scheme involved over a dozen California lawyers and judges. In order to succeed, the plan needed the cooperation of over a dozen California judges, all of whom repeatedly violated blocks of state and federal laws and constitutional protections. California judges, and CIA-front law firm and its lawyers, have a long and documented history of obstruction of justice tactics in trying to block former federal agents from reporting criminal activities in government offices, form the basis for this charge. An understanding of the overall sequence of activities, and the sequence of lawyers and judges involved, show a pattern of obstruction of justice and felony retaliation against a former federal agent as the hoard of lawyers and judges attacked him in an attempt to silence him. These efforts succeeded in continuing the consequences in the aviation arena, and the consequences from the other criminal activities that the former federal agents sought to block. In the process, they caused, and enabled to occur, great harm to the American people and the nation, and to the former federal agent leading thee attempts to expose the corruption. Meeting Legal Requirements of Racketeering Enterprise (RICO) A racketeering enterprise under the civil RICO statute and related federal law is defined as two or more predicate acts toward a specific goal, and in this case, to block the reporting of criminal activities in the federal courts and other government offices. California judges became implicated in the Civil RICO violations by engaging in a conspiracy for six continuous years with a CIA-front law firm to strip former federal agent Rodney Stich of the $10 million in real estate assets that funded his exposure of the criminal activities that he and his group of other federal agents had discovered. California judges repeatedly issued orders inflicting great personal and financial harm upon Stich, for six years, knowingly lacking personal and subject matter jurisdiction, and repeatedly violating over three dozen California statutes and rules of court, and violated federal statutes, Supreme Court decisions, and constitutional protections. Any single one of these violations blocked the actions by the California courts. The purpose of these orders was to insure the success of a scheme to destroy Stich's attempts to expose the type of corruption in government that encouraged, and insured the success of the September 11, 2001, hijackers. (Details in Unfriendly Skies and in federal lawsuit.) In addition, when Stich exercised legal and constitutional due process remedies, California court of appeal judges retaliated against him, ignored some of his appeals, compounding the repeated civil rights violations and due process violations by the short-time elected judges committing the violations. Last Chance Before 9/11 In a lawsuit filed in the federal courts at Reno, Nevada, shortly before the 9/11 hijackings, Stich sought to report the misconduct in the government's aviation safety offices that repeatedly blocked the federal government from meeting its aviation safety responsibilities, and corruption in other areas, such as the FBI and CIA, and names lawyers and judges engaging in tactics to block the reports, constituting obstruction of justice offenses. Shortly before the federal judge issued an order blocking the lawsuit and dismissing it, the hijackings of four airliners occurred on September 11, 2001. Stich then filed a declaration showing the relationship between the misconduct he sought to report, the actions of the defendants, and the 3,000 resulting deaths. January 21, 2002. (MS Word) (Adobe PDF) California Attorney General Aiding and Abetting After Stich filed a federal lawsuit at Reno, Nevada, naming over six California judges as defendants under the Civil Rights Act and civil RICO, California's attorney general Bill Lockyer, compounded the violations by defending the record-setting violations of civil and constitutional rights that were perpetrated under color of state law. Further, California suddenly claimed, after 17 years, that Stich owed over $13,000 in taxes from 1983, which was the first notice received by Stich of any taxes due--which were never due. It was known that Stich would not have records from 17 years earlier to prove he did not owe taxes, and the state of California refused to provide any evidence showing that the taxes were owed. They simply stated he owed the taxes and placed a lien on state records. In addition, the federal district judge to whom the lawsuit was assigned, Judge Edward Reed, unlawfully and unconstitutionally dismissed each of the California judges, despite the clear wording of federal law that a state judge who acts without personal or without subject matter jurisdiction (as was done for six years), or violates state or federal laws and constitutional provision, loses his or her judicial immunity. The repeated violations of dozens of state and federal laws and constitutional provisions raised federal causes of actions that barred their dismissal. Failure to dismiss every defendant in that lawsuit risked exposing the scheme and the conspiracy. There is sufficient documented judicial corruption in court records to show California courts meet the definition of a corrupt racketeering enterprise. This documented corruption could be used by any group distressed by the level of corruption rampant among the California judges.
