Sampling of Insiders Contributing
Information About Their Discovery
Of High-Level Corruption

Much of the information and documentation for this site and the related books have for several decades come from dozens of insiders; professional government in many cases. That information had been provided to former federal agent Rodney Stich, who has served as a central point for the many insiders who have, often at great risk and actual harm, provided information that is virtually unknown to the general public.

Many of these people have been falsely charged by federal prosecutors and sentenced to prison so as to prevent the public from learning about high level crimes. Some of them are listed at another site for fallen heroes.

There insiders include numerous people in each of the following categories:

• Former federal airline safety inspectors and investigators.
• Former agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
• Former agents and assets in the Central Intelligence Agency.
• Former agents in the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI).
• Former drug smugglers, especially those who smuggled drugs during the Reagan-Bush administrations of the 1980s, especially as part of the Iran-Contra affair.
• Former Mafia figures, including one who was a mole in the most important hands-on al Qaeda cells heavily involved in prior terrorist activities—and the linch-pin in understanding how nearly 4,000 people were killed in terrorist attacks that he had prior knowledge of, and which was passed on to FBI personnel.
• Former agents of the U.S. Customs Service.
• Former agents of the Secret Service.
• Former state investigators.
• Head of a former covert CIA airline.
• Heads of former covert CIA financial-industry companies.
• And others.

Mafioso in Key al Qaeda Cell

Former Mafia soldier acting as a mole inside a key al Qaeda cell. This former member of one of the New York Mafia families had provided to former federal agent Rodney Stich years of detailed information and documentation on the following matters of enormous national importance−and related to America's greatest catastrophic events:

• FBI supervisor in the New York City area providing information on the names of government informants, who would then be murdered.
   

• That source infiltrated a key al Qaeda cell headed by the infamous Ramzi Yousef, the mastermind of the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center and the mastermind behind the planned simultaneously bombing of 11 U.S. airliners departing Far East locations. He provided advance information of terrorist attacks on major U.S. targets to FBI agents in the New York City area.
   
• That critical information was "deep-sixth" by high-level FBI-DOJ personnel so as to deny credibility to the al Qaeda mole. He was due to testify in several murder trials about the murders that his father committed (known as "The Killing Machine") with a key FBI supervisor in the New York City offices.
   
• That testimony, if the mole had been found earlier to be creditable, would have exposed the series of FBI murders and the high-level cover-up of the murders. Nearly 4,000 people died in the forewarned terrorist attacks by failure of other government departments being able to take preventative measures.  Information on this matter by clicking here. Full details and documentation in the book, Crimes of the FBI-DOJ, and the Mafia.

FBI Special Agent And
Highly Decorated Veteran

Richard Taus was an FBI Special Agent in the New York City offices and worked under the FBI supervisor that was involved in a series of murders with the Mafia capo known as "The Killing Machine."  Prior to that, Taus was a highly decorated military officer in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War. Over a period of eight or more years, Taus provided the following information:

• His observation of drug smuggling in Vietnam by aircraft and pilots of the CIA and Air America; his reports of this activity to members of Congress, and the standard congressional cover-up.
   

• His discovery, as an FBI agent, of secret funding and arming of Iraq by covert CIA assets in the New York area during the Reagan Bush administrations.
   

• His investigation of the corrupt activities of the financial firm, Drexel Burham Lambert. (Note: the key people involved in that fraud were later involved in the housing and financial frauds that surfaced in the media in 2007.)
   

• Information about how his supervisor repeatedly blocked his investigations into criminal activities of New York City Mafia families.
   

• FBI management practice of covering up for criminal activities in high-level government positions.
   

• How FBI and DOJ prosecutors falsely charged him with a federal crime when he circumvented the cover-ups and reported the matters to members of Congress. Instead of investigating, members of  Congress reported his communication to FBI-DOJ officials, which was then followed by the fabricated charges.
   

• How high federal officials appeared to influence state prosecutors to follow up with additional sham charges that resulted in a 50-year prison sentence that, even if the charges had been true, were 45 years longer than standard.

U.S. Customs and Drug Smuggling

John Carman was a former Secret Service agent and then an agent for U.S. Customs on the Mexican border. He described how he and other Customs agents were repeatedly blocked by Customs supervisors from investigating railroad cars from Mexico that they suspected of smuggling drugs and illegal aliens. Frustrated, Carman resigned from U.S. Customs and became a private investigator. To circumvent the cover-ups and inform the American people of the drug and alien smuggling, he put the information on an internet site called www.customscorruption.com.

Seeking to silence him, federal prosecutors in the San Diego office used a discredited  Mexican in a scheme. The Mexican "hired" Carman to conduct an investigation and then the client was used the U.S. Department of Justice prosecutors in the San Diego office to falsely charge Carman with a crime. A naive jury found Carman guilty and a federal judge sentenced Carman to a long federal prison sentence.

Head of Interagency Drug Task Force

Joseph Occhipinti was the head of a joint interagency drug task force operating in the New York-New Jersey area, discovering drug activities by powerful Dominican Republic drug traffickers (believed working with the CIA) that had powerful political support. As his drug task force became too successful in discovering drug activity, especially among the bodegas that had a powerful political constituency in New York City, federal prosecutors charged Occhipinti with−believe it or not−violating the civil rights of bodega owners by not first obtaining their permission to examine their premises.

His conviction and sentence to prison halted the drug investigations, including the drug activities by an al Qaeda cell headed by Ramzi Yousef operating in Jersey City, New Jersey. That was the al Qaeda cell that bombed the World Trade Center thereafter, their funding possibly assisted by the false charges by U.S. Department of Justice prosecutors.

Head of Secret CIA Operation
Based in Honolulu

Ronald Rewald was the titular head of a secret CIA operation based in Honolulu that was acting as a financial corporation. He provided to Rodney Stich considerable information, including several legal-size boxes containing CIA documents. The name of the secret CIA operation was Bishop, Baldwin, Rewald, Dillingham, and Wong (BBRDW).

During several years of continual communications, Rewald provided such information as the following:

• CIA assisting Ferdinand Marcus with hiding stolen funds in the United States while U.S. Department of Justice was seeking these funds.
   
• Opening and funding secret off-shore bank accounts for high-level U.S. officials. Familiar with how CIA funnels money to CIA proprietaries, how CIA opened and funded secret off-shore bank accounts for high-level federal officials.
   
• After a Honolulu television reported exposed the corporation as a fraud, a hoard of CIA and FBI personnel convened in Hawaii to falsely charged Rewald with defrauding investors in a financial scheme, diverting attention from it being a CIA operation.

Ronald Rewald was the titular head of a CIA proprietary, called Bishop, Baldwin, Rewald Dillingham and Wong (BBRDW), based in Honolulu. In 1985, after a Honolulu television exposed the company as a fraud, a hoard of CIA and FBI personnel descended upon Honolulu and falsely charged Rewald with running a scam financial operation. With the help of a cooperating federal judge that (a) refused to allow most of the CIA documents to be presented; (b) refused to allow Rewald to be defended by a competent lawyer, Belli of San Francisco; (c) forced Rewald to accept a young lawyer that had just finished law school and had never practices.

The cooperating federal judge then sentenced Rewald to a long 50 year sentence, insuring that the public would never learn about the covert CIA operation.

This story is described in the personal plight of Rewald in Disavow: CIA Saga of Betrayal, and a fuller account of that and other secret CIA operations in the book, Explosive Stories of Covert CIA Companies.

Head of Covert CIA Airline

Stephen Crittenden, as the head of a CIA proprietary airline, provided extensive knowledge of such activities as:

• The logistics associated with CIA drug smuggling into the United States from the Far East.
   

• Interaction with other specifically named covert CIA airlines, such as Southern Air Transport and Evergreen Airlines.

Sordid conduct in one area does not occur in a vacuum. An example of what was done to one of Stich's sources, Boris Korchak, shows another angle. Korchak was a Russian KGB agent who starting working as a mole for the CIA, with the promise of providing him with citizenship and income. After bleeding Korchak for information, they then refused to meet their financial obligations. More information at Korchak's web site:  www.boriskorczak.com.
