Pattern of Corruption in
California Judicial and Government Offices

The large numbers of California and federal judges and other government officials who became involved in the convoluted 20 years of litigation, which has not yet ended, reflects the high level power somewhere in government that initiated this scheme and that become implicated as the scheme backfired. Supreme Court Justices had to be implicated in some part of the scheme as they repeatedly became involved in blocking the reports of the criminal activities, in covering up for the misuse of federal courts and judicial positions to carry out the record-setting judicial corrupt documented in judicial records.

These California judges are implicated in a convoluted scheme to block former federal air safety investigator Rodney Stich from exposing the corruption in the FAA and the cover-ups in other federal agencies. These corrupt acts insured the success of the September 11, 2001, terrorist hijackers.

Another interesting, and surely frightening, aspect to these matters is the involvement of large numbers of California judges and other legal arms of the State of California. When state judges and state officials so willingly become involved in a scheme of this magnitude, that involves cover-ups of major criminal activities against the United States and its people, in the absolute total destruction of rights and protections guaranteed by the laws and Constitution of the United States, the degree of anarchy in government is far advanced.

Briefly, here is the involvement by California judges and other government personnel:

  • For six years, over half a dozen California judges at Fairfield, California, issued orders taking Stich's assets in a bizarre lawsuit filed by the San Francisco law firm of Friedman, Sloan and Ross, reportedly a front for the CIA and FBI. That lawsuit was barred by dozens of state and federal laws and constitutional protections, all of which were repeatedly violated. Any one of these many orders constituted violations of the Civil Rights Act for which there are federal remedies which federal judges have a mandatory duty to uphold.

  • For six years, California court of appeals judges aided and abetted these violations, denying to  Stich his due process rights. In one instance, these court of appeal judges ordered Stich to pay $300,000 sanctions to the CIA-front law firm for exercising these constitutional due process rights. It is a felony for anyone to inflict harm upon a citizen for exercising constitutional due process, especially when the violations of federally protected rights are of such record-setting numbers.

  • California Supreme Court Justices also repeatedly aided and abetted these violations, becoming implicated by their cover-ups. Only once was relief attempted, when California Supreme Court Justice Stanley Mosk issued a decision that Stich's appeal be heard. But the other justices refused to go along, causing Stich's appeal to be denied.

  • California attorney general Bill Lockyer was made aware of the civil and constitutional violations occurring in California courts and the underlying scheme to block the reporting of criminal activities. Not once did he act to halt the misuse of California courts.

  • In the 1980s, while Maxine Waters was a state representative in California, Stich asked her to intervene. Instead, she replied back in a letter, lambasting Stich for exercising his legal remedies seeking to defend himself. Years later, when Waters was a Congresswoman in Washington, she blocked Stich and other insiders from revealing the role of key government personnel in drug smuggling. She covered up her protective role by strong rhetoric against drug matters, carefully avoiding exposing the evidence that could have go to the heart of the drug crisis.

  • In the years 2000 and 2001, Attorney General Bill Lockyer provided State of California defenses for the California judges named as defendants in the lawsuit. In doing this, the California attorney general was aiding and abetting--against the rights of a California citizen--the corrupt and documented pattern of misconduct by California judges. Ironically, the attorney general of the State of Nevada was then enlisted to provide representation in the federal lawsuit filed in Nevada against the California judges.

  • In a February 21, 2001 letter, this California attorney general demanded of Stich $3312.50 on the  basis of the order issued by U.S. district judge Reed. Reed had dismissed the California judges from the lawsuit despite the record setting numbers of hard-core civil and constitutional violations that invoked mandatory federal court jurisdiction, and then ordered Stich to pay the $3300 in sanctions for exercising these federal remedies. The legal system really hangs together!
  • Earlier, the state of California sent Stich a letter stating, for the first time, that Stich owed $14,000 in taxes from the year 1984--17 years earlier--and that if Stich did not promptly pay, his assets would be seized. Stich owed no taxes in that or any related years as his vast real estate investments produced a negative cash flow as he was constantly upgrading his properties. Stich requested documentation to support the claim of taxes owed, which the State of California refused to produce. Stich was barred from federal court so he was unable to even try to defend. Filing any papers in the California courts would be futile. Further, at the age of 78, stripped of everything, including his ability to earn an income, there would be no funds to hire legal counsel. (Further, over the years Stich discovered that lawyers that he hired were apparently contacted by unknown forces, resulting in sabotage. The same reaction occurred years earlier while Stich was seeking legal help while he was an FAA inspector to exercise legal remedies to expose the corruption at United Airlines and within the FAA. This scenario is described in the third edition of Unfriendly Skies.)

  • Concurrently, the IRS contacted  Stich and claimed he owed over $15,000 in back taxes from the 1980s, another threat.
  • While this was going on, an attorney in South Carolina filed a sham lawsuit against Stich, knowing that Stich could not access the federal courts, and that Stich lacked funds to hire legal counsel at the opposite end of the country.

  • In addition, former California court of appeals judge, Harry Low, who aided and abetted the repeated violations of California and federal laws that were part of the scheme involving cover-up of major criminal activities in government, was appointed by California governor Gray Davis to head the scandal riddled California Department of Insurance. This appointment was made despite the fact that the government and the California attorney general were made aware of Low's corrupt activities in the California courts.

    Stripped of his millions in assets, stripped of his home, stripped of his livelihood, it became clear to Stich that his concern for the great human tragedies resulting from documented fraud was badly flawed. If he had looked the other way, his entire life would not be in shambles today. The people at United Airlines, within the FAA, and the many others who cowardly assisted, all profited.
