Record of Congressional Cover-Ups Starting in 1964 Cover-ups by most members of congress since the early 1960s are detailed in the books written by insiders, starting with the documented misconduct within the FAA closely related to the United Airlines crash into New York City and other air tragedies. Professionals in government brought these serious matters to the attention of members of Congress who had oversight responsibilities, and responsibilities under federal criminal statutes. Sampling of Tragedies Made Possible By Congressional Cover-Ups The tragedies inflicted upon the public by the congressional cover-ups include, for instance: Congressional cover-ups and protection of the wrongful conduct within the FAA that resulted in fatal air disasters. The evidence was repeatedly offered to members of Congress by government insiders, including federal air safety inspector Rodney Stich. This congressional duplicity made possible the success of the four simultaneous hijackings on September 11, 2001. Congressional protection of the drug smuggling into the United States by the CIA and other government entities. For years, insiders, some of whom were CIA assets smuggling the drugs, have testified to members of Congress behind closed doors of these criminal and subversive activities. By their cover-ups and obstruction of justice, the crimes related to drug smuggling continued, while simultaneously these same members of Congress passed legislation resulting in tens of thousands of men and women to be imprisoned, sometimes for life, on fabricated charges, on fabricated no-drug conspiracies, on peanut quantities of drugs. Congressional cover-ups of the endemic corruption in federal courts, especially the bankruptcy courts, that unlawfully seized valuable properties from naive people exercising the statutory protections of Chapter 11. As it relates to September 11, 2001. The plan by the terrorists to seize four U.S. airliners were encouraged, and success insured, by the pattern of misconduct and corruption within the FAA that had left its bloody prints on many other crashes in which thousands of men, women, and children were brutally killed. As it relates to drugs: Continuation of the drug smuggling by people acting under cover of government operations, which has played key roles in the crimes arising from drug trafficking, including unprecedented increase in crime and criminal-infestation of neighborhoods, countless numbers of murders, tens of thousands of men and women sentenced to prison, destruction of families, countless numbers of human tragedies, seizing of people's assets, paramilitary attacks upon families, corruption of government, prosecutorial misconduct, developing a nation of informants, and much more. As it relates to corruption in the courts, including the Supreme Court of the United States: Expanding the inherent corruption in the legal fraternity, as typified in the documented judicial misconduct shown in related websites. these include, for instance, judicial obstruction of justice and cover-ups, judicial retaliation against government whistleblowers, judicial misuse of the courts to inflict great personal and financial harm upon whistleblowers. Obvious harm resulting from other criminal activities that were reported to members of Congress during the past 40 years. Butterfly Ripple Effects on 9/11 Misconduct by people involved in each of these air disasters (and many in between) were key personnel within the FAA, members of congress due to their cover-ups, and many others. Ironically, misconduct by key United Airlines personnel that resulted in the DC-8 calamity aided and abetted, or fueled, the internal FAA corruption that made possible the hijacking of two United Airlines jets on September 11, 2001. There are many other ironies behind the loss of 3,000 lives on September 11, 2001, that are revealed in the books: Unfriendly Skies: 20th and 21st Centuries, and Blowback, 9/11, and Cover-Ups. Great American Tragedies Enabled By Congressional Cover-Ups Understanding the tragic ripple effects of the corruption in the various government activities, enabled to occur by the endemic cover-ups, might possibly shock the American people out of their complacency. However, it is the public that shares in the blame for many of the tragedies arising from the corruption for which there is ample evidence. These ripple effects will continue, made possible by virtually every group described here. Culture of Bribes in Congress Incompatible To Protecting Public Interests Publicized bribing of members of Congress in the Abramoff scandal (only the latest such exposure) will help understand the cover-ups and obstruction of justice by most members of Congress−and the consequences−some of them deadly. See Congress's culture of bribes. The most publicized recent consequence of the congressional cover-ups, obstruction of justice, and duplicity was the September 11, 2001, terrorism that could not have succeeded if members of Congress had exercised their moral and legal oversight responsibilities instead of criminally covering up for the crimes. The involvement of large numbers of people in Congress insures that there will not be an investigation into why the multiple federal agencies with responsibilities to take preventative actions did not exercise that mandatory obligation. IF there ever is a congressional "investigation," it will be a continuation of the long history of congressional cover-ups that have been so destructive to the people and U.S. interests. Over the next 40 years, as government insiders brought evidence of corrupt and criminal activities to their attention, congressional cover-ups continued. These matters are detailed in the books written by insiders. Lawsuit Against Members of Congress Partly to make a record, but also authorized under Title 28 U.S.C. § 1361, former federal air safety inspector Rodney Stich filed a federal lawsuit against members of Congress in the U.S. district court in the District of Columbia. The intent of the lawsuit was to seek a court order requiring the members of Congress listed as defendants to perform their legal duty requiring them to receive information about criminal and subversive activities in the government agencies for which they had oversight responsibilities. (MS Word) (Adobe PDF) Their response to this lawsuit did not deny any of the charges that they were covering up for the criminal activities. Their only response was that as members of Congress they were totally immune against lawsuits. The filing of the lawsuit and their response indicated that they knew of the serious charges. Under the federal crime reporting statute, Title 18 U.S.C. § 4, each member of Congress that was contacted concerning the criminal activities had the responsibility to receive the information and the supporting evidence, which they refused to do. This made them guilty of misprision of a felony, a crime for which many men and women have been sent to federal prison for infractions that were inconsequential in relation to the damage caused by the cover-up of members of Congress. Members of Congress in Catch-22 Situation The initial cover-ups were followed by the continuation of crashes and deaths due to the same corruption. These crashes and deaths now implicated members of Congress, causing them to continue the cover-ups, which made still other tragedies possible. The record of such relationships is now so great that it is a virtual certainty that the system will not allow the public to recognize what has been done to them. The same Catch-22 applies to every other group that engaged in either the direct corruption or the cover-up corruption. None can allow the people to learn and understand the truth. Letters-Faxes to Members of Congress Prior to National Tragedies That Could Have Been Prevented For decades, insiders have notified members of Congress of ongoing corrupt and criminal activities, often prior to the next catastrophic effect from their existence. Among those that were sent by former federal agent Rodney Stich, from 1965 to the present date, includes the following: Samplings of letters to members of congress reporting criminal activities.. Recent postings with recent letters of matters of major national importance. Master list of letters sent to different groups, showing the total block by every check and balance to respond. Sampling of Great Tragedies Caused or Enabled by The Corruption in Key Government Positions That Whistleblowers Sought to Expose and Halt 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.
