40 Years of Fighting
Corruption
Responsible For
Many American Tragedies
This page addresses the progression of multi-faceted corruption in the United States, the great harm, sometimes mass deaths, and sometimes catastrophic events, and the efforts of one former government agent to bring an end to the horror resulting from the spreading arrogance and corruption. Until there appears enough people to show outrage at meaningful problems that are capable of being addressed, the self-feeding corruption and increasing level of harm will continue. This site provides hard evidence to those people that might eventually appear.

The FAA administrator then covered up, becoming another in a long line of
enablers to years of subsequent preventable airline disasters.
Congressional cover-ups started at this time, and with the identifiable
disasters made possible by their cover-ups, the cover-ups then had to
continue, which continues to this date since the series of preventable
terrorist attacks made possible by the congressional cover-ups.)
Stich appeared before a federal grand jury in Denver despite the attempts by
Department of Justice personnel to block his appearance. Stich then
discovered the jurors in the grand jury do nothing that is not directed by
the U.S. attorney.
Letters to members of Congress resulted in acknowledgment of the seriousness
of the charges, but then no action. Once, when a hearing was scheduled into
Stich's charges, a lone senator raised an objection that resulted in the
hearing being cancelled. Senatorial rules permit any single senator from
conducting hearings on a subject.

Start of Cover-Ups by Federal Judges
Under the federal crime reporting statute, federal judges must receive information about a federal crime from anyone wanting to report it. Such reports are normally received by a law enforcement arm of the government, but in this case involving key people in government and a series of major aviation disasters and hundreds of deaths, the people at the U.S. Department of Justice repeatedly refused to receive the information, including blocking Stich from reporting the federal crimes to a federal grand jury. Starting in the late 1970s, Stich exercised the provisions of that statute to report the federal crimes to a federal judge.
The first of these federal filings occurred at San Francisco, and sought to report the corrupt acts related to several specific airline disasters. Federal judges repeatedly blocked the reporting of the federal crimes related to a continuing series of aviation disasters. In this way, they made possible the subsequent aviation disasters that occurred due to the corrupt activities being covered up by the judges.
And once the subsequent crashes occurred that could have been prevented but for the judicial cover-ups, the federal judges then had a self-interest to forever preventing the information from becoming known.
Circumventing Cover-Ups With
Books and Radio-TV Appearances
As the airline crashes continued to occur, due to the deep-seated culture within the FAA, and following the serious of cover-ups, Stich published the first of multiple editions of Unfriendly Skies in 1978. This was followed by hundreds of appearances on radio and TV shows as guest and expert, making the public aware of the corruption that enabled to occur a long line of preventable airline disasters.
Publicity Resulted in Discovering
Other High-Level Corruption
Reporting additional areas of high-level corruption. As Stich discovered serious corruption affecting national security in other government operations, which he discovered partly as a result of his own investigations and partly from the dozens of other government agents and insiders that provided him with information, he again sought to report the federal crimes. Federal judges responded by:
Blocking the reports of the federal crimes. These actions constituted
obstruction of
justice felonies.
Issuing a series of unlawful and unconstitutional
orders permanently
barring Stich and his coalition from filing any papers in any federal
district or appellate court. Those orders still exist. The orders
knowingly obstructed justice, and were obviously so intended. By barring
Stich from providing evidence of criminal activities involving key people in
government, the corrupt activities—and the judicial cover-ups—enabled the
often deadly consequences to continue.
Charging Stich, three different times, with criminal contempt of court, for filing federal actions reporting the federal crimes. These judicial acts were felonies.
Hoard of Lawyers Joining Scheme to
Block Exposing High-Level Corruption
From 1982 to 2005, a series of sham lawsuits were filed against former federal agent Rodney Stich by a hoard of lawyers and law firms. These legal tactics knowingly interfered with his attempts to report the criminal activities that by that time had involved a series of federal judges and Department of Justice personnel. The lawyers already knew of the catastrophic consequences made possible by cover-ups, and knew of the consequences from their actions. The series of sham lawsuits included:
The legal action commenced in California courts by the CIA-front San
Francisco law firm of Friedman,
Sloan and Ross and their
lawyers. That legal action continued from 1982 to 1988, and repeatedly
violated dozens of
California
and federal statutes and controlling case law. The blatant violations
required the repeated cooperation of over a dozen
California judges.
The lawyers and judges knew of the prior aviation disasters associated with
the corruption and knew their conduct would assist in continuing the
consequences would continue.
A sham legal action was then filed in early 2000 by a
South Carolina law firm and their
lawyers against Stich, who lived in California. The DOJ-connected law
firm used a possible wife murderer as the plaintiff. As in California, the
lawyers had the cooperation of South Carolina judges. That lawsuit further
delayed Stich's attempts to report the multiple areas of corruption that
resulted in catastrophic consequences the following year.
Another sham lawsuit was then filed against Stich by a Los Angeles area lawyers, using the default judgment issued by South Carolina judges. They sought to seize the books that documented the years of corruption, cover-ups, retaliation, and often deadly consequences. California judges at the district and appellate level, already deeply involved as enablers from prior sham lawsuits, continued to aid the scheme.
Series of Preventable Aviation Disasters
Among the factors initially motivating FAA airline safety investigator-inspector to take unusual David vs. Goliath steps were the continuing series of preventable airline crashes and thousands of deaths. Additional motivating factors occurred:
Other areas of corruption affecting the quality of life and the actual lives of the American public and adversely affecting the very survival of the nation.
The harm inflicted by people in control of the U.S. Department of Justice upon government agents and others to block their exposure of high-level corruption.
The additional harm associated with a series of forewarned terrorist attacks.
Recognition of the system-wide corruption, system-wide cover-ups, and the Trojan Horse subversion of the nation.
Recognition that no one else was addressing these serious problems.
Worsening Consequences, Including 9/11
The severity of the consequences following Stich's warnings in the 1966 closing brief was shown in several terrorist attacks resulting in aviation disasters. One of the nearly 4,000 people killed in these multiple preventable catastrophes was the woman shown in the following picture who jumped to her death from the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Her death would not have occurred except for the corrupt acts of many enablers:
Urgent Self-Serving
Requirement to
Continue the Deadly Cover-Ups
The cover-ups that started while Stich was a key FAA airline safety expert, that subsequently involved repeated cover-ups by members of Congress, Department of justice employees, the retaliation against Stich, had to continue after the 3,000 deaths on 9/11. Otherwise, key people in control of government departments would be subject to criminal prosecution, impeachment, and other adverse acts, would finally have to pay the price. The cover-ups included, for instance:
Members of Congress, who for decades were informed by Stich, and a host of other insiders, about the corruption and tragic consequences that affected national security.

corruption to members
of Congress, covering a period from about 1966 to the present date.

The information here is only one part of a much bigger story that is a blight upon the United States. Until a substantial number of Americans devote the time and effort to learn about these matters, and show some sign of courage, the widespread harm will continue, as it has continued and grown for the past 40 years, with the information available to the American public, and who chose to do nothing.
