<body> Introduction to Great American Tragedies, Their Enablers, and Their Victims This page relates to the enablers, or accomplices, whose corrupt acts enabled to occur some of America's great tragedies, deaths, and catastrophic events. Details are in some of the other 1000-plus pages at this site and also in the related books written by former government agents and insiders. The groups that are included as enablers would include, for instance: Enablers to these Great American Tragedies Key people in the government's aviation safety offices. Certain key people at United Airlines. Members of Congress who knew of the criminal activities from years of notices, especially those who have direct oversight over the people and groups committing them, and who to this day continue their cover-ups (i.e., obstruction of justice). Justice Department personnel who repeatedly covered up for the criminal activities, and who filed criminal contempt of court charges against Stich when he sought to report criminal activities that were inflicting great harm upon major national interests. The federal district and appellate judges, numbering over three dozen, who repeatedly violated federal crime reporting statutes and other statutes, who repeatedly blocked the reporting of the federal crimes despite their mandatory responsibilities under the federal crime reporting statute; those who engaged in felony retaliation against former federal agent Rodney Stich to silence his reporting, violating numerous criminal statutes; and the endless series of unlawful and unconstitutional actions that stripped Stich of his assets, his liberties, and his constitutional protections. Supreme court Justices. The dozen and more California judges who aided and abetted the corrupt activities while violating dozens of state and federal statutes and controlling case law. South Carolina judges. Over 50 lawyers and law firms filing sham legal actions paralleling the tactics by lawyers of the U.S. Department of Justice and federal judges that repeatedly blocked the reporting of criminal activities in key government positions. These including the CIA-FBI-front San Francisco law firm of Friedman, Sloan and Ross and their lawyers; South Carolina law firm and local judges; a Los Angeles law firm, and cooperating California judges. See also Lawyers and law firms. Media people who knew of these criminal activities and related tragedies and helped subvert national interests by remaining silent. The many other people and groups who knew of these activities and joined in aiding and abetting the powerful groups. Anyone else. Legal Definition of Crimes Committed by Enablers To really understand the extent of the people and groups that caused, or enabled to occur, many of the tragedies affecting people in the United States, it is important to realize the type of conduct described at this site and detailed and documented in the books are criminal acts−including those that resulted in deaths, such as the deaths of nearly 3,000 people on September 11, 2001.

Italian Version of Criminal Complicity One of many examples of how people seemingly remote from criminal acts can be legally guilty of complicity was shown by the following newspaper article: ROME, February 10, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Today Silvio Berlusconi, Italy's Prime Minister, who was spearheading an effort to save the life of Eluana Englaro with emergency legislation when news of her death came, has indirectly accused Italian President Giorgio Napolitano of complicity with murder for the latter's refusal to sign an emergency measure on Friday that might have saved her life. Long History of Corruption-Enabled Catastrophic Events As a result of the widespread corruption in overt and covert government operations, the systemic cover-ups that treat high-level corruption as the "third-rail," and the retaliation against whistleblowers, great American tragedies have repeatedly occurred, and will continue to occur. 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. 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.
