Embedded Culture and National Tragedies This page provides highlights showing the culture of the people in the highly politicalized FBI and other offices of the U.S. Department of Justice. The information is factual, much of it documented, and constitutes the greatest actual source of harm to the American people, far more than any external terrorists. This is not a conspiracy site; it is a site with considerable documentation and the input from a larger number of former government agents. Among the various books written by former federal agent Rodney Stich in which misconduct by FBI-DOJ personnel are involved is the most recent and most explosive in ramifications for the American people: Defrauding America and Drugging America. The book reveals acts that are criminal, including murders perpetrated by FBI agents in the Boston and New York offices, the cover-ups of such crimes, and the catastrophic events made possible by this conduct. The documented offenses are not simply of academic interest; they brought about immeasurable human tragedies affecting tens of thousands of men, women, and children, and continue to undermine the internal security of the United States. Among the corrupt practices by FBI and DOJ personnel, discovered during the past 40 years by former federal agent Rodney Stich and his coalition of former intelligence, law enforcement, and aviation safety personnel—professions—are the following examples: FBI agents involved in murders with organized crime and Mafia figures. FBI-DOJ personnel "deep-sixing" highly sensitive advance information on series of al Qaeda terrorist attacks, thereby blocking preventative actions, so as to protect a key FBI supervisor involved in a series of murders with a New York City Mafia capo. The subsequent successful forewarned terrorist attacks then killed nearly 4,000 people. FBI-DOJ personnel engaging in series of criminal acts during the investigation and prosecution of the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie. Those actions knowingly protected them actual groups involved in the deaths of 270 people and shifted blame to innocent parties: Libya and two Libyans. FBI-DOJ personnel in fraudulent prosecution of FBI agent and highly decorated war hero in retaliation and to silence him for exposing corruption within the Department of Justice—including that of his supervisor—involved in series of murders with a Mafia capo. That agent and war hero is now in prison with a long prison sentence. Similar to that done to other government agents exposing high-level corruption in government. DOJ criminal prosecution of a former key federal aviation safety agent in retaliation for reporting corruption relating to a series of aviation disasters, and other corruption that his coalition of former government agents discovered. Cover-ups of air safety and criminal violations related to a series of fatal airline crashes. (As detailed in the following books: History of Aviation Disasters: 1950 to 9/11; Crimes of the FBI-DOJ, Mafia, and al Qaeda; and FBI-CIA, the Mob, and Treachery.) Cover-ups of drug smuggling into the United States by the CIA and other government entities and covert operations. Cover-ups of deeply entrenched corruption in the bankruptcy courts involving federal judges, judge-appointed trustees, Justice Department trustees, lawyers, law firms, and people working with them−including the CIA. Close working relationship with organized crime figures, including serial murderers, and cover-up of murders and other crimes perpetrated by mobsters. Involved in assassinations. Misusing raw government power to silence or discredit whistleblowers, including former federal agents, who try to expose corrupt and criminal activities as described in the books. FBI agents providing false statements and perjured testimony, and arranging for perjured testimony to grand juries and trial juries by other government agents and government informants. Providing false laboratory reports to falsely convict and imprison men and women. Brutality and lying in the Waco massacre. Brutality and lying in the Ruby Ridge murders. Lying that results in tens of thousands of men and women charged, convicted, and incarcerated. FBI protecting and not action on massive housing and financial frauds until after the damage was publicized in the media. FBI Agents Involved in Murders With Boston Mobsters & New York Mafia Around the year 2000, sufficient information was uncovered by media investigators and published in Boston area newspapers that enabled state prosecutors to charge FBI agents in the Boston office with criminal activities spanning several decades, which included FBI agents providing information on government informants to organized crime figures that knowingly resulted in the assassination of those working with government agents. This is described in the fourth edition of Defrauding America and several other books written by Rodney Stich. This publicity forced a congressional investigation into FBI misconduct to issue a two-volume report (February 3, 2004) titled, "Everything Secret Degenerates: The FBI's Use of Murderers As Informants." That report focused on FBI agents in the Boston area being involved in murders, providing information to organized crime figures, and protecting murderers from being prosecuted. FBI Agents and Multiple Murders in New York City During this period, in 2002, former federal agent Rodney Stich was receiving letters from a former New York City Colombo Mafiosi, Gregory Scarpa, Jr, with whom Stich had a book contract. Gregory's father was a boss in the Colombo Mafia, who for many years had a secret relationship with FBI Supervisory Special Agent Lindley DeVecchio. Gregory provided Stich with detailed information about how his father and DeVecchio secretly met and engaged in bank robberies and murders. Department of Justice prison officials eventually blocked Gregory Scarpa from providing Stich with additional information At the same time, Stich was receiving insider information from two other sources that had information about FBI agent DeVecchio. One was a former FBI agent who worked under DeVecchio, a former highly decorated Vietnam War military pilot and Lt. Col. in the New York national guard. The other one was a former friend of Jimmy Hoffa and who socialized with Las Vegas and Los Angeles mobsters, including Tony Spilotro (portrayed in the movie, Casino) and Eddie Nash (involved in the famous four-on-the-floor murders in Hollywood. As a cellmate to Gregory Scarpa, he provided additional information on the murders committed by the FBI agent. In 2006, the Brooklyn district attorney office circumvented the DOJ block and charged DeVecchio with multiple murders while on FBI duty., These details are in the book, FBI, CIA, the Mob, and Treachery. Discover how Department of Justice officials manipulate state and local government and media to cover up for murders perpetrated by FBI agents. Nationwide Media Blackout On FBI Criminal Culture and Murders Carrying out the practice seen for many decades, most of the nation's media kept a blackout on the FBI murders in the Boston and New York offices and the complicity of high FBI-DOJ officials in Washington. Almost every newspaper and TV commentator kept the lid on this scandal, except for a few newspapers in the New York City area. These matters are particularly detailed in several books written by Rodney Stich, including FBI, CIA, the Mob, and Treachery. The American People, in Perpetual Denial, Pay a Price for this FBI-DOJ Corruption People pay a price for this type of FBI-DOJ corruption that surfaces in many forms. The many people who are falsely charged and prosecuted, perjured testimony used against them, falsified laboratory reports, are more direct. Indirect are the people affected by the continued corruption in the government's aviation safety offices, or the 3,000 people who died on 9/11 from the result of corruption in the government's aviation safety offices (that blocked the implementation of known hijacking prevention measures; and the corruption in the FBI that blocked agents from acting on the terrorists scheme. Local Media Publicity Forced New York State District Attorney to File Temporary Murder Charges In March 2006, three years after Stich offered insider evidence of criminality in the New York FBI offices to members of Congress, a Brooklyn district attorney charged retired FBI agent Lindley DeVecchio with involvement in multiple murders. That long-overdue charge resulted from considerable publicity in the local New York City newspapers, based upon the evidence produced by several private investigators. One of many such media reports in the New York area newspapers, a New York Times article (March 31, 2006), stated in part: Thee office of the Brooklyn district attorney announced the indictment of Mr. DeVecchio on charges that he had helped his informant [Gregory Scarpa, Sr.] commit four mob murders in the 1980s and 1990, accepting weekly payoffs totaling more than $66,000. Prosecutor Mr. Vecchione, in arguing against bail for Mr. DeVecchio, went through each of the murders, detailing what he said was Mr. DeVecchio's reasons for "instructing" his informant, Gregory Scarpa Sr., to commit the killings. Letter sent by former federal agent Rodney Stich to Kings County (Brooklyn) District Attorney offering insider information provided by a former New York Mafia source and a former FBI agent who worked under the FBI supervisor involved in the murders with New York Mafia capo, Gregory Scarpa, Sr. The letter was based upon several years of continuing communication between the son of the Mafia capo and an FBI agent who worked under the supervisor. Obviously, the information on major murders involving FBI personnel could be considered of something more than casual interest! (MS Word) (Adobe PDF) No response. National Security Implications of FBI Agents Involved in Murders With Organized Crime As described in History of Aviation Disasters: 1950 to 9/11, the several decades of FBI agent's involvement in murders in the Boston office was known to FBI and Department of Justice Headquarters, including FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, who become complicit in the crimes. Obviously, the misuse of FBI offices and FBI agents in murders constituted a culture incredibly dangerous to the people of the United States. These crimes existed prior to 9/11, and the culture obviously affected the performance of the FBI and should have been of major attention to then 9/11 Commission, which covered up for the corrupt culture in the FBI, in the FAA, and in the CIA. The murders involving a key FBI supervisor in the New York City offices caused high-level DOJ officials to deep-sixth information obtained directly from al Qaeda's primary aviation terrorist so as to prevent the prosecution of that murderer. The subsequent terrorist attacks killed nearly 4,000 people. Details in History of Aviation Disasters and Crimes of the FBI-DOJ, Mafia, and al Qaeda. Attempted Murder to Halt State Prosecution Witness? As described in Defrauding America and Drugging America, and Those Ugly Americans: 20th & 21st Centuries, it is dangerous, sometimes fatal, to expose corruption of people in control of the FBI and other Department of Justice divisions. (The same can be said about exposing corrupt federal judges). One of the latest examples of how dangerous this can be was the attempted murder of a petit 5-foot-4 mother of three: Angela Clemente, on June 16, 2006. Clemente was a well-known forensic-intelligence analyst who took an interest in the murderous conduct of FBI Supervisory Agent Lindley DeVecchio. She spent years obtaining information about his relationship with Colombo mafia boss Gregory Scarpa. Her information, along with others, helped motivate Brooklyn District Attorney Michael Vecchione to file murder charges against retired FBI Supervisory Agent DeVecchio in early 2006. The attempted murder of Angela Clemente was described in an article in the New York Post (June 17, 2006), part of which is shown here: The gutsy single mom who helped prosecutors crack the case against accused FBI mob mole Lindley DeVecchio was found choked and left for dead early yesterday in a remote section of Brooklyn. Cops, responding to a 911 call at 5.45 a.m., found Angela Clemente in the driver's seat of her car, it's door open, her body sprawled half in and half out, near the Caesar's Bay strip mall in Bensonhurst. From her bed at Lutheran Hospital in Brooklyn, where she suffered a seizure yesterday while being treated for neck and body injuries, a groggy Clemente told investigators she had received several messages from her assailant before agreeing to the early-morning meeting. Her bearded would-be informant got into her black Hyundai and started talking about the case. She told investigators he pretended he had information. And then, Clemente said, he asked her, "Are you going to continue on this case?" "Yes," she answered. With that, she told cops, he whacked her on the right side of her body with something hard, and then put his hands around her neck and started choking her. Apparently convinced he had killed her, he took off. At 5:45 a.m. Clemente was spotted lying halfway out of her car door by a passing dog-walker and a jogger. She didn't know the name of her assailant, but she did provide cops with a description. She remained in the hospital, under police guard. [She had] made a phone call to a journalist about midnight, informing the reporter about the meeting. "If I'm not back by 6 a.m. call the Brooklyn prosecutor," the reporter claimed Clemente said. The journalist called the DA's office at 7 a.m. Prosecutors made calls and learned of the attack. Assistant Brooklyn DA Michael Vecchione, the prosecutor who credited Clemente with helping him get a murder indictment against [retired FBI Supervisory Agent] DeVecchio, believes the attack is liked to the former G-man. Vecchione also would not discount the possibility that the murder attempt was the work of DeVecchio sympathizers, some of whom are former FBI agents. Earlier this month, Vecchione complained in court that some witnesses had been harassed by DeVecchio's FBI buddies. The ongoing saga about that case, the FBI and DOJ, is described in book, Crimes of the FBI-DOJ, and the Mafia, and to a lesser extent in the book, FBI, CIA, the Mob, and Treachery. The book starts out with the war experiences of Richard Taus in Vietnam, who later became an FBI agent. Taus worked under DeVecchio. The considerable information provided to Stich over the years by Taus (along with information provided to Stich by the son of the Colombo mafia boss Gregory Scarpa, and another former mobster), caused Stich to write that book. Based upon years of being a confidant to many other government agents, former drug smugglers and mafia people, Stich discovered intrigue far beyond the imagination of almost anyone. This food-for-thought site attempts to inform concerned people about the harm suffered by people who sought to expose corruption in which FBI and DOJ people were implicated, either directly, or through cover-ups. The following are only a few of the people who suffered, and who are described in Defrauding America and Drugging America. Richard Taus. Former Lt. Col. in Army National Guard, highly decorated Vietnam veteran, and former FBI Special Agent, working under FBI Supervisory Agent Lindley DeVecchio, the agent charged with multiple murders. Taus "foolishly" attempted to report drug smuggling by people associated with the CIA; corruption in a CIA-front company that was part of the Oliver North Enterprise; unlawful funding and arming of Iraq during the 1980s. To silence and discredit him, FBI-DOJ people falsely charged him with crimes and with the help of a state judge, sentenced Taus to 80 years in prison, where he is not incarcerated at Dannemora, New York. Paul Wilcher, lawyer and confidant to Stich. Found dead after presenting the U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno with information about high-level corruption during the 1980s. Dexter Jacobson, lawyer and confidant to Stich. Found murdered the night before he was to present evidence to the FBI at San Francisco about the massive corruption in the bankruptcy courts involving federal judges, federal trustees, and others. | Rodney Stich, former federal agent, who attempted to expose corruption in various government offices and suffered years of retaliation by DOJ personnel and federal judges acting in a criminal fashion. (Details in Unfriendly Skies, Defrauding America, Drugging America and other books. This is only a starter to the list of people who suffered at the hands of FBI-DOJ people. A good starter on the culture within the FBI would be to read about the FBI agents in the Boston office who, for several decades with the knowledge of top FBI-DOJ officials in Washington, engaged in murders and other crimes with the Bulger crime group. History of Cover-ups By Political Justice Department Personnel The three books, Unfriendly Skies, Defrauding America, Drugging America, FBI-DOJ, and the Mafia, and FBI, CIA, the Mob, and Treachery, provide information on the deep-seated culture of corruption in the various divisions of the U.S. Department of Justice. Justice Department personnel had repeatedly blocked the exposure of the corrupt and criminal acts within the FAA which made possible the September 11, 2001, tragedies. But this is only the start. Justice Department personnel, corruptly misusing their positions of trust, have falsely prosecuted government agents to silence or discredit their exposure of high-level corrupt, criminal, and subversive activities among federal officials. The people responsible for this culture cause the Justice Department to be the most dangerous adversary facing the American people. In an attempt to halt former federal agent Rodney Stich from continuing to expose high level corruption, federal prosecutor David Levi and federal judges charged with criminal contempt of court for: Reporting criminal activities in government offices, which he was required to report under the federal crime reporting statute, and which FBI-DOJ personnel in the highly political Department of Justice had been covering up for years. Exercising federal defenses against the massive civil rights violations involving over 50 lawyers and law firms (some that were CIA-FBI fronts) and over 50 federal judges that were involved in parallel efforts to keep the public from learning of these matters. See also legal schemes. FBI-DOJ Fraudulent Conduct Consequences Although the FBI-DOJ provides a useful function, it also has a corrupt side that has protected major corruption of people in control of key government positions, and that has enabled to occur decades of harm, some of it deadly, and some catastrophic. The following are a sampling of the more deadly or catastrophic consequences of the corrupt actions of key employees in the FBI and other Department of Justice offices: Consequences of FBI-DOJ cover-up conduct: Long history of fraud-related aviation disasters, with records starting in 1966. 1989 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie. 1993 World Trade Center bombing. 1998 downing of TWA Flight 800. 1998 U.S. Embassy bombings in Africa. 2001 hijackings of four airliners. Victims in Iraq and Afghanistan. There Were, However, Obvious Consequences to FBI-DOJ Conduct! 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. Sampling of Early Consequences Progression of Consequences 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 Victims of Less Catastrophic Events 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. These offenses are described in the books written by insiders. Harm to People Overseas From High-Level Corruption 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. 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. 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. List of Documentary Books On Endemic Corruption in the United States All of the books are available at amazon.com, in print and on the Kindle, and at many other Internet sites. They bring together the various pieces of the puzzle to better understand the overall picture, and why the same conditions continue year after year.
