History of congressional cover-ups and resulting great tragedies.

<body> Pattern of Congressional Cover-Ups Recorded Since 1964 The start of discovering corruption of people in key government positions by federal airline safety investigator Rodney Stich started in 1964, with the discovery of other areas of criminal activities continuing to this day. Arising from his numerous attempts to expose the corruption and bring about a reduction in the relating tragedies, Stich published books and appeared on hundreds of radio and TV shows starting in 1978. This publicity caused a steady stream of other government agents and insiders to contact him with information on criminal activities in other areas of government that they had either discovered as part of their official duties, or in which they were directly involved. These people included government agents from such departments as the CIA, FBI, ONI, DEA, Customs, Secret Service; former drug smugglers; and former Mafia figures. Upon discovering these crimes against the United States, starting while he was a federal agent, he repeatedly reported them to members of Congress, offering to provide evidence and testimony. In the early states, members of Congress admitted the gravity of the charges, none ever disputed them, but those that responded stated that the matters were not in their areas of responsibilities. All federal personnel have a special duty to receive evidence of a federal crime under the federal crime reporting statute. And if they refuse to receive information offered to them−which under criminal statutes they must receive−then they are guilty of obstructing justice. And everyone has a duty under federal statutes to report to a federal official a federal crime that they believe to exist. That is the law. When the criminal activities are ongoing, and the harm from them are continuing, then anyone who in any way fails to receive information of a federal crime, is guilty of an even greater offense arising from the harm caused by the underlying offenses. Pages at this site that related to these issues include the following: Sampling of letters and faxes sent to member of Congress reporting various criminal activities involving people in key government positions. Type of corruption reported of people in the government's aviation safety offices, related to an ongoing series of airline disasters. Type of corruption related to overt and covert activities as discovered from the long list of other government agents and insiders that contacted former federal agent Rodney Stich. Corruption of federal judges and Department of Justice employees that were criminally blocking the reports of the ongoing corruption. Types of corruption, using government offices, to retaliate against a former government agent to that was related to a continuing series of airline disasters. Overview 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. During the last half of 2006, many forms of congressional corruption surfaced, including active and passive demands for bribes from lobbyists and special interests; secret earmarks costing billions of dollars, many for prior bribes; corrupt activities between members of Congress and K-Street lobbyists; pedophile activities; and cover-ups of all these activities. The most flagrant corruption by members of Congress being exposed were of Republicans. However, these were only the tip of the iceberg. The others involve members of Congress from both parties, and the blowback or ripple effects of the corruption and the cover-ups are far beyond what almost anyone can comprehend. It is these other areas of corruption that are never spoken about, and which involves not only members of Congress, but key people in the three branches of government, many media people, and others. These are the matters revealed by courageous, and foolish, insiders. This page addresses the corruption by members of Congress, including those showing the most outrage in 2006 at the publicized corruption. This is not to minimize the gravity of the corruption in the republican congress, but to show that corruption throughout congress, of even greater gravity, has yet to be made known to the people. Sampling of Tragedies Made Possible By Repeated 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. As it relates to the latest housing and financial frauds. (Read America's Housing and Final Frauds for details of how members of Congress played major roles in bringing down upon the American people the great hosing and financial frauds and the heavy toll on the lives of many Americans. 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. 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. These ripple effects will continue, made possible by virtually every group described here. Blatant Practice of Bribes and Tragic Contempt for the Public and the Country 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. 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. Pattern of blatant bribes impliedly demanded or specifically demanded, subverting national interests to self-serving financial interests. Lawsuit Against Members of Congress To Make Official Report of Their Corruption 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. Another lawsuit was filed against the members of Congress from California, which was filed in the federal courts at Reno, Nevada. 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. Ripple Effects of the Corruption And Cover-ups on 9/11 To help understand how the hijackings of four airliners on 911 occurred and the relationship to the problems former federal safety agent Rodney Stich discovered and tried to report and correct, consider the following: Four groups of terrorists were able to hijack four airliners on 9/11 because the known procedures for preventing hijackings were not implemented. Remember, if these were put in place, 3,000 people would not have been brutally killed on that date, and the reason for such peripheral effects such as the U.S. invasion of Iraq would not have occurred. If this is important to you, read on! Why weren't the preventative measures in place? The same reason why many other preventative measures were not taken that allowed decades of preventable airline disasters to occur: the corruption within the FAA that is a matter of records in the possession of former federal agent Stich, and described in the book, Unfriendly Skies: 20th & 21st Centuries. What people were involved in covering up for this corruption? The people involved in covering up for the corruption and even criminal activities include, among others, the following: Members of Congress, who for years were informed by letters of the deadly corruption affecting airline safety (as well as criminal activities elsewhere that affected national security). From 1964 to the present date, letters were sent to members of Congress on all of these matters, offering to provide testimony and evidence. Stich even filed lawsuits against members of Congress on the basis of the cover-ups, in an attempt to make a judicial record of their obstruction of justice activities. The corruption in Congress that was publicized in the latter half of 2006 were just the tip of the iceberg. Federal judges, through legal filings seeking to report the federal crimes to a federal judge, as specifically provided by the federal crime reporting statute. Federal judges responded by (a) blocking the reports; (b) issuing unlawful and unconstitutional orders permanently barring Stich from filing any papers in any federal court; (c) charging Stich with criminal contempt of court for attempting to report ongoing criminal activities. These judicial acts were obstruction of justice felonies and retaliation felonies. Media people. Starting while Stich was a federal agent attempting to get publicity to the corruption so as to bring it to a halt, Stich repeatedly notified in writing media people, stressing deaths and the great harm resulting to national security, and offering to provide the testimony of himself and numerous other former government agents. None responded, which made possible many of the nation's worst tragedies. Reasons for the non-response would include (a) those who are secretly receiving money from the CIA and other government offices; (b) not wishing to offend their sources high in government; (c) laziness, among other reasons. Department of Justice officials. Starting while Stich was still a federal employee seeking to report the criminal activities that he discovered during his official duties, people in the various divisions of the Department of Justice were repeatedly notified of the criminal activities affecting national security. Instead of acting on the corruption, they charged Stich with criminal contempt of court in collaboration with federal judges at Sacramento, California, among other things. They all made possible the conditions resulting in 3,000 deaths on 9/11, which were only one-day's consequences in only one of the areas involved in the corruption. Oh, one other group: the members of the public who knew of these charges, knew of the cover-ups, knew of the retaliation against the former federal agent, and who were too lazy to help! The following catastrophic events could not have happened but for the documented complicity by many members of Congress: The 2006 Publicity of Congressional Corruption: Tip of the Iceberg In 2006, an even worse series of corrupt actions by members of Congress was revealed, sending some to prison. Even though the corruption was worse among Republicans, the corruption of the Democrat members of Congress was not far behind. The record shows that all of them have repeatedly engaged in corrupt acts. A big deal has been made about the cover-up of the pedophile activities of Congressman Foley. But far worse cover-ups have occurred of corruption that made possible horrendous consequences for the United States and its people. The misconduct exposed priors to the 2006 elections related to bribes, lobbyists, earmarks, pedophile activities, and cover-ups. But these were only the tip of the iceberg. The corrupt practices involving members of Congress constantly are exposed, but even though are just the ones who don't manage their bribes and corruption in a more subtle manner. Complicity in Starting Two Major and Endless Wars In addition to covering up the corrupt activities that enabled terrorists to easily hijack and inflict catastrophic tragedies upon the United States on September 11, 2001, but most then aided and abetted the serial lying by President George Bush and his cabinet shills that plunged the United States into the deadly quagmires in Afghanistan and Iraq. Dead American GIs, Stretching 19 Miles End-to-End, Killed on Basis of Political Lying These wars on the basis of lies were extensions of the invasion of Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Grenada, Panama, Cuba, and has left a trail of over 100,000 dead American GIs, ,whose bodied, if laid end to end, would stretch for 19 miles. And then the even greater number of maimed and injured military personnel. And then, the millions of people in foreign countries that were killed while defending against the American invaders. Doesn't say much for the intelligence of the average American, or the character of the American people! And again, thousands of deaths are the ripple or butterfly effects from unrecognized misconduct by members of Congress and the many other enablers in the United States. Complicity in Housing and Financial Frauds Members of Congress have been repeatedly involved in housing and financial frauds. Among the worst in recent memory were the savings and loan frauds that involved the Keating Five, including Senator John McCain, and more recently, the housing and financial frauds that surfaced for the public in 2007, with no end in sight for the harm upon the American people and upon the United States. With millions in bribes received from the housing and financial sectors, members of congress either aggressively removed the legal protections that opened the gate for massive financial frauds, or remained quiet as the frauds were blatantly obvious to them. Books related to this site that address the role by members of Congress in these matters include: America's Housing and Financial Frauds. Congress and Other Cesspools. These and other documentary books related to this site are available in print or ebook formats from amazon.com and other sources. Cover-Ups and Obstruction of Justice: Standard Culture in Congress Records and court filings reveal years of cover-ups (i.e. obstruction of justice) by most members of Congress after former government insiders reported criminal and even subversive activities to them. Most of the criminal activities brought to their attention were resulting in deaths, great personal and financial harm, and harm to national security. For instance, among the corrupt and criminal activities brought to the attention of members of Congress by former federal agent Rodney Stich and his group of other insiders included: FBI supervisory agents in the New York City offices working with a New York City Mafia boss in multiple murders and other crimes. This was first brought to the attention of members of Congress in 2003 by former federal agent Rodney Stich. (MS Word) (Adobe PDF) Another letter that showed that members of Congress were notified, and covered up. (MS Word) (Adobe PDF) The information about the FBI murderous corruption was obtained by Stich from a former FBI agent working under that supervisory FBI agent, and information provided to Stich by the son of a Colombo Mafia boss who perpetrated numerous murders with the help of the FBI agent. Three years later, a Brooklyn state district attorney filed murder charges against that former FBI supervisory agent, and part of the evidence was based upon the statements of that former Mafia agent who had provided Stich the information earlier. (Details in FBI, CIA, the Mob, and Treachery book.) Members of Congress already knew, from media people in the Boston area, that FBI agent in the Boston office were also involved in murders and other crimes with a Boston organized crime group. Those criminal acts were perpetrated with the knowledge of FBI and Department of Justice officials in Washington. This culture help explain why the FBI failed in its role to discover and act on the scheme to hijack four airliners on 9/11. When Stich informed members of Congress, in letters, of the FBI murders in the New York area, not a single one responded, adding to the recorded list of cover-ups that Stich documented for the prior 35 years. (MS Word) (Adobe PDF) The withholding of information by high-level FBI-DOJ personnel on planned terrorist attacks, deep-sixth so as to prevent FBI agents from being prosecuted for a series of murders. This cover-up enabled terrorists to easily carry out the terrorist attacks that were known to Department of Justice personnel. Smuggling of suitcase nuclear bombs out of the Soviet Union, as reported by a former military officer who had contacts in Lithuania and the Soviet Union. This information was conveyed to Stich by that person. (Details in latest edition of Defrauding America.) Decades of drug smuggling into the United States by agents of the CIA and people close to the CIA, with the knowledge and assistance, or cover-ups, by people in other government offices, including the military. (Details in Drugging America book.) Insider information on October Surprise provided to Stich by two former CIA agents who were part of the October Surprise operation that corrupted the presidential election and possibly delayed the release of 52 Americans captured in Iran. (Details in Defrauding America book.) Decades of corruption in the government's aviation safety offices, resulting in numerous preventable airline disasters. This condition is proven by government documents that are described in the book, Unfriendly Skies: 20th and 21st Centuries, and in several federal lawsuits. Many other criminal activities by key people in the three branches of government, all of which have been brought to the attention of members of Congress, and whose cover-up made possible the continuation, the worsening of the corruption, and the consequences. These are hard facts, supported by letters to members of Congress, federal lawsuits, and books written by former government insiders. And these matters are just a small part of the history of corruption perpetrated and made possible by people throughout government. In the early 1990s, former federal agent Rodney Stich filed two lawsuits against members of Congress describing the cover-ups by members of Congress of criminal and even subversive activities. These include a lawsuit filed shortly before 9/11 exposing the corruption in the government's aviation safety offices, the corruption in the FBI and CIA that constitute the primary and unpublicized areas of primary and secondary areas of blame that enabled four groups to terrorists to hijack four airliners on 9/11. (MS Word) (Adobe PDF) And a lawsuit filed shortly after 9/11, seeking to expose the ongoing corruption that made 9/11 possible. The judicial cover-up continues the culture of corruption that will bring on more deadly consequences.

This was first brought to the attention of members of Congress in 2003 by former federal agent Rodney Stich.

And these matters are just a small part of the history of corruption perpetrated and made possible by people throughout government. More information on congressional corruption discovered by government insiders during the past 40 years. Members of Congress in Catch-22 Situation The so-far futile attempts by former federal agent Rodney Stich to expose the corruption in key government offices ensnared in hundreds of letters and documents the complicity by members of Congress in some of America's greatest tragedies. For that reason, members of Congress will never conduct hearings on their involvement in these great tragedies. Time and time again, members of Congress blocked the presentation of evidence of ongoing criminal activities associated with an ongoing series of resulting personal and financial tragedies. The consequences includes deaths in fraud related airline disasters, the 9/11 events, the various housing and financial frauds inflicting great personal and financial harm upon the American public, and involvement in numerous wars, including the latest deadly quagmires in Afghanistan and Iraq. Never before have so many records been made of their corruption and effect upon the nation and its people. 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. American People Share Blame For Congressional Corruption For years, courageous (and foolish) government insiders risked, and suffered, retaliation for trying to report these corrupt and subversive conditions in government to the people. Pathological apathy and denial, their willingness to accept the outrageous serial lying and cover-ups by their politicians and media personnel, their cowardice when outrage was required, made possible almost every misfortune that has fallen upon the American people and the United States. Probably at no time in the history of the United States has such a large percentage of the American public exhibited these failings, making possible almost every threat and harm now affecting the American people. History shows that it is improbable to expect things to change for the better.
