Civil Rights Violations Combined
With Obstruction of Justice Tactics

A conspiracy involving Department of Justice employees, federal judges, and a hoardof lawyers and law firms, engaged in massive and repeated civil rights violations against former federal agent Rodney Stich, seeking to halt his efforts to report and publicize pockets of corruption in key government operations. The primary corruption involved:

• People in control of the government's aviation safety offices responsible for years of preventable aviation disasters.
   
• Criminal activities involving key people in government that Stich and his coalition of other government agents and insiders had discovered.
   
• Corrupt culture and activities of people in control of the U.S. Department of Justice.
   
• Federal judges that repeatedly blocked Stich and his coalition from reporting crimes against the United States, which were being reported under the mandatory requirements of the federal crime reporting statute.
   
• The hoard of lawyers and law firms filing sham legal actions against the former federal agent, from 1982 to 2005, knowingly hindering attempts to expose and bring to justice the people involved in the continuing corrupt activities. Together with large numbers of judges, their combined massive civil rights violations, as parallel efforts to block exposing high-level corruption, met the legal definition of a conspiracy and a criminal racketeering enterprise (RICO).

Quick Synopsis

The repeated civil rights violations involved a conspiracy including over 50 lawyers and law firms, several dozen federal judges, and Department of Justice employees. The civil rights violations were combined with criminal violations for the purpose of halting former federal agent Rodney Stich and his coalition of other insiders from exposing corruption in key government positions.

For a quick understanding of the bizarre attempts to halt the continued exposure of high-level corruption by former federal agent Rodney Stich and his coalition, the following sequence occurred:

• Sham lawsuit filed  in California state courts by the first of several groups of lawyers and law firms, the first one having known ties to the CIA and FBI. The target was to strip Stich of the $10 million in assets that funded his extensive efforts to report, publicize, and halt the corruption responsible for a continuing series of preventable aviation disasters. Later, the exposure attempts included exposing criminal activities in other areas that Stich discovered from the many other former government agents and insiders that provided him information. That lawsuit was barred by, and violated dozens of California and federal statutes, case law, and constitutional protections.
   
  • The initial sham lawsuit was cloaked as a divorce action that permitted the immediate seizure of the assets that funded the efforts to expose and halt the high-level corruption.
     
  • The problem with that type of filing was that Stich had been divorced for 18 years; that 1966 divorce judgment had been entered as a local judgment in five different states; the person used as the alleged wife, living in Texas, had repeatedly declared herself as a divorced person in legal documents, and continued to do so after the sham filing. Those legal divorce judgments deprived California judges of personal and subject matter jurisdiction under the Family Law Act.
     
• Over a dozen California judges then repeatedly protected the lawyers, repeatedly aiding and abetting the viola6tions of these substantive rights and compounding those violations with violating every relevant procedural due process protection available to Stich. The violations were inflicting massive personal and financial harm upon Stich. In addition to the massive civil and constitutional violations of substantive and procedural due process, California judges rendered orders seizing Stich's assets (while lacking jurisdiction over him and his property), and sentenced him to jail.
   
• Federal judges then aided and abetted the massive civil rights violations when Stich filed papers in federal courts. The right to obtain relief from the continuing civil rights violations under the Civil Rights Act and in this case, the Declaratory Judgment act. These same federal judges had prior to that, blocked every attempt by Stich and his coalition from reporting the high-level corruption. Further, federal judges were named in books written by Stich about their obstruction of justice actions and the aviation disasters made possible by their actions.
   
• Federal judges, to halt further attempts to report the federal crimes under the federal crime reporting statute, then:
   
  • Issued a series of unlawful and unconstitutional orders barring Stich, for the remainder of his life, from filing any papers in any federal district or appellate court. That effectively obstructed justice while depriving Stich of the protections in law, and prevented Stich from defending himself against the continuing civil rights violations that were inflicting grave personal and financial harm.
     
  • Federal prosecutors and federal judges charged Stich with criminal contemp0t of court after he filed a federal action that raised major federal causes of action. These included attempts to halt the ongoing corruption in the California courts and his attempts to report the ongoing criminal activities. It was the civil rights violations that were used to halt the exposure activities.
     
  • Corruptly, unlawfully, and unconsti6tutionally, seized and liquidated the $10 million in assets, converting Stich from a multimillionaire to a state of poverty.
     
  • Charged Stich with criminal contempt of court for filing objections to the seizure and liquidation.
     
  • And much more.

Purpose of the Civil Rights Violations

The purpose of the violations was to halt the reporting and exposure of serious corruption in several government offices that former federal agent Rodney Stich was exposing.

Federal judges repeatedly, from 1983 to the present date, violated every legal and constitutional procedural due process right arising from the record-setting numbers of state and federal laws violated in the scheme to forever halt the exposure of major criminal activities by Stich and his other former federal agents. These procedural due process violations included:

• The right to federal court access and relief when a lawsuit is filed in which the facts stated in the Complaint state a federal cause of action for which federal remedies exist. These rights are established under various federal statutes, including for instance Title 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331, 1343, 2201, 2202, 1361, Title 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983-1988, civil RICO, and under the Constitution as established by the U.S. Supreme Court in the Bivens doctrine.

Massive Civil Rights Violations
By Hoard of Federal Judges

In addition to corruptly barring this federal agent from federal defense remedies against the civil rights violations occurring in the California courts, federal judges started perpetrating their own violations of federally protected rights. They expanded on their violations of substantive legal and constitutional protections by violating his procedural due process rights, barring him from exercising federal defenses against their violations of major federally protected rights.  They did this by issuing unlawful and unconstitutional injunctive orders barring the former federal agent, for the remainder of his life, from accessing the federal courts.

These orders deprived Stich the rights and protections guaranteed under the laws and Constitution of the United States while federal judges were directly involved in inflicting great personal and financial harm upon Stich through record setting violations of civil and constitutional rights that were being perpetrated by California judges and federal judges acting in unison. 

• The injunctive orders also barred Stich and his group from reporting criminal activities to a federal court under the federal crime reporting statute, Title 18 U.S.C. § 4. (The criminal activities couldn't be reported to any Justice Department division due to years of repeated cover-ups by the lawyers in that agency, and members of Congress had also engaged in repeated cover-ups.)
   
• Federal judges issued unlawful and unconstitutional orders seizing Stich's home, his businesses, his properties, his sole source of income, his entire assets, violating the legal and constitutional protection of a noticed hearing, a hearing, and legally recognized cause. The properties were simply taken, converting Stich from a multi-millionaire who used his assets to expose judicial and government corruption into a state of poverty.
   
• After seizing Stich's assets, further due process violations followed, including orders barring him from filing objections to the seizure and liquidation of his assets. When Stich exercised this right, and filed objections, federal judge Edward Jellen, Oakland, charged him with criminal contempt of court, denied Stich his own funds to hire legal counsel, refused to appoint legal counsel, and then sentenced Stich to federal prison. (Stich was 70 years of age at that time.)
   
• When Stich filed for relief in the U.S. district court in California for the seizure of his assets and the criminal contempt of court charge and prison sentence, the never-ending due process violations continued. Federal judges and Justice Department prosecutors charged Stich with criminal contempt of court for accessing the federal courts (when he was previously barred), denied him a jury trial, and sentenced him to federal prison for six months. (Justice Department prosecutors originally sought to imprison Stich for three years, but then dropped that to six months to avoid a jury trial. Supreme Court rulings held that the constitutional right to a jury trial does not exist for prison sentences not exceeding six months.) While in prison, shortly after undergoing open-heart surgery for six coronary bypasses, Stich spent six weeks in solitary confinement. While in prison, his home was sold, and he became homeless.
   
• As Stich was about to be released from the six month prison sentence, U.S. district judge Marilyn Patel (San Francisco) had his rearrested, transferred from prison to prison, and again charged with criminal contempt of court for having sought relief from these serious violations of federally protected rights. District judge Vaughn Walker then ordered Stich confined to the immediate vicinity of his home, and to report weekly to a parole officer, which continued from 1990 to 1995−as Stich was nearing the age of 80. 
   
• Federal judges refused to order a halt to the record numbers of civil and constitutional violations perpetrated for six years by a group of California superior court judges and appellate judges that were inflicting enormous personal and financial harm upon former federal agent Rodney Stich while Stich was exposing high-level corruption in judicial and government offices.

This pattern of judicial anarchy inflicted great personal and financial harm upon Stich. He lost his home, his business, $10 million in properties, his sole source of income, he suffered extreme personal problems, he was incarcerated for exercising constitutional due process specifically provided by law for these violations, and from 1986 to 1995 was continually under charges of criminal contempt of court, and at the age of almost 70, imprisoned for six months with over two months in solitary confinement.

Placing a Sham Vexatious Litigant Label
On Exercising Civil and Constitutional Defenses

A pattern of renegade federal judges have labeled Stich a vexatious litigant for exercising constitutional due process remedies against these sordid and corrupt judicial acts. This mindset reveals the contempt for due process, the contempt for the rule of law, the contempt for the laws and Constitution of the United States by large numbers of federal judges in the district and appellate courts of the Ninth Circuit.

Federal judges engaged in a documented pattern of violations of major civil and constitutional rights as part of a pattern blocking the reporting of criminal activities that were being reported under the federal crime reporting statute. These civil rights violations are described in pages related to this web site and in the books, Defrauding America, Drugging America, and Unfriendly Skies: 20th & 21st Centuries.

The effect of the actions were to obstruct justice by blocking former federal agent Rodney Stich from continuing his attempts to expose corruption in the government aviation safety offices and in other areas of government, that he and a group of other former government agents had discovered during their official duties.

Continued Civil Rights Violations
Immediately Prior to 9/11 Consequences

A year before the hijackings of four airliners on September 11, 2001, Stich and his coalition made one last attempt to report the corruption by filing a federal action at Reno, Nevada:

• The culture of corruption in the government's aviation safety offices responsible for a continuing series of preventable aviation disasters enabled to occur by the corruption.

• The culture of corruption of people in control of the U.S. Department of Justice.

• The people that acted in a conspiracy to obstruct justice by civil rights and criminal violations against the former federal agent to halt his exposure activities. They included, for instance, the lawyers filing the sham legal actions, the California judges that aided and abett4ed the initial scheme, the block of federal judges that oversaw and protected the scheme, and Department of Justice personnel that criminally retaliated against the former federal agent for attempting to report the conditions responsible for, among other consequences, the series of preventable aviation disasters.

Before illegally dismissing the lawsuit, the hijacking of four airliners occurred. Making possible the easy terrorist attacks were the following:

• The ongoing corruption in the government's aviation safety offices, where the primary responsibility existed for preventing airliners from being hijacked.

• Department of Justice personnel, who repeatedly prevented advance information obtained from within a major al Qaeda cell of the planned terrorist attacks from being known.

Continuing Civil Rights Violations After 9/11,
Combined with Felony Obstruction of Justice

After 9/11, the number of lawyers and judges seeking to halt Stich's efforts to continue exposing the corruption, including that which made 9/11 possible, greatly increased. A South Carolina law firm with suspected ties to the federal government filed a sham lawsuit against Stich in a rural court 3,000 miles from his residence. California judges against became implicated in those obstruction of justice tactics. Those lawyers and judges were then followed by a group of lawyers in the Los Angeles area and further involvement by California judges.
