CIA-Front Law Firm Started Personal Attacks To Block Reports of Corruption The actions by various lawyers and law firms to halt Stich's exposure of the corruption that he and a group of other former government agents had discovered during their official and professional duties started in 1982. That 1982 lawsuit started after Stich's exposure activities were threatening to expose corruption identified the second edition of his first book, Unfriendly Skies. Dozens of law firms and attorneys were subsequently involved in attacks upon him that required the assistance of large numbers of California and federal judges, as described in the various Internet sites and in his various books. After the publication of the second edition of Unfriendly Skies─that named the federal judges who blocked the reports and made possible the continuation of the corruption and the airline disasters—the first in a long series of legal and judicial actions were then taken to halt Stich’s activities. The obvious effect—and surely the intent—of each of these legal actions were to halt the exposure of the criminal activities, which were a subtle form of obstruction of justice. That first legal action was a lawsuit filed by the CIA-front law firm of Friedman, Sloan and Ross (San Francisco) in the Solano County courts, and was filed in such a way that it would immediately separate Stich from his assets─and halt his exposure activities. Facts and Law Showed the Lawsuit to Be a Sham Seeking to strip Stich of the assets that funded his exposure actions, and thereby halt his exposure activities, a sham lawsuit was filed against him by the CIA-front law firm of Friedman, Sloan and Ross (San Francisco). The results of that lawsuit--and surely its intent--was to strip Stich of the $10 million in real estate assets that he used in his attempts to expose and halt the corruption in the government's aviation safety offices that he had discovered and documented after given the assignment to correct the conditions responsible for the worst series of airline disasters at that time. Stich would later discover corruption in other areas of government, but at that time it was limited primarily to a series of fatal airline disasters. Bizarre Lawsuit Barred by Facts and by Law That first lawsuit was filed under the Family Law Act, using as a “strawman” a Texas resident (Emma Stich, Duncanville, Texas) who the lawyers claimed was married to Stich, that she wanted a divorce, and a division of alleged community properties. Even though there had been no contacts between the parties since 18 years earlier when they were divorced in a bilateral consent divorce proceeding. That 1966 divorce judgment had been entered as a local judgment in the states of Oklahoma, Colorado, Texas, Nevada, and California. Federal and state laws required that any of these judgments be recognized. Facts and Law Showed the Lawsuit to Be a Sham, And Prohibited by State and Federal Laws California judges rendered orders at the request of the CIA-front law firm for six years, which violated large numbers of state and federal laws. Further, under clear California statutes, the California judges lacked personal jurisdiction over Stich, and subject matter jurisdiction over his separate properties, under the Family Law Act when there is a prior divorce judgment. The Texas resident used as the ‘strawman” had been buying and selling real estate during the prior 18 years, declaring herself divorced. After the California “divorce” action was filed, she continued to declare herself divorced in Texas, and even filed for social security benefits on the basis of the 1966 divorce judgment. The Social Security administration recognized that judgment and approved her application. But the California judges continued to render orders as if she was still married to Stich, thereby assisting in the perjury and deception. Compounding their misconduct, whenever Stich exercised any of the many procedural due process rights clearly stated in state and federal law, California judges labeled the exercise of these defense rights as frivolous acts. This was a novel way to violate due process and the dozens of state and federal judges, and a novel way to obstruct justice. Unfortunately, these tactics would have catastrophic consequences seemingly far remote from the Solano County courts. These legal and judicial acts eventually stripped Stich of his life assets, converting him from a multi-millionaire to a state of poverty. The actions in the California courts went from 1982 to 1988, and then shifted to the federal courts, where the seizure and liquidation of Stich's assets were completed in 1998. These legal and judicial obstruction of justice tactics enabled the corruption in the government's aviation safety offices to continue, which also continued the resulting airline disasters and harm to national interests from other corruption that Stich later learned from the large numbers of other former government agents who came to him after hearing of his activities via the books he wrote and the hundreds of radio and television appearances. There is much more involved, and horrendous human sufferings, which is described in the books and in related web pages. Federal judges became implicated since any single one of the dozens of actions by California judges, and any one of the dozens of state and federal laws that were violated in the California courts, constituted federal causes of actions for which federal judges had the responsibility to provide relief and halt the violations. Relief arose under the Civil Rights Act, the Declaratory Judgment Act, the Bivens doctrine, and civil RICO. Instead of doing this, their earlier obstruction of justice when Stich filed actions to expose the corruption in the government's aviation safety offices, were now devoted to another form of obstruction of justice: insure the success of the scheme initiated by the CIA-front law firm that involved over a dozen California judges. The actions of federal judges resulted in a total loss of Stich's assets, the final funds being divided among the dozens of lawyers and law firms that became involved, this final loss occurring in 1997. Last Attempt Before September 11, 2001 The last attempt to report these criminal activities to a federal court--prior to the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, was a federal lawsuit filed by former federal agent Rodney Stich in the U.S. district court, Reno, Nevada. That lawsuit sought to report criminal activities that were inflicting great harm in numerous areas of national security and national interest, including the misconduct that caused the conditions to exist that encouraged and enabled four groups of hijackers to seize four airliners on 9/11. That lawsuit also exercised federal remedies to defend against the massive violations of state and federal laws associated with the sham lawsuit filed by the CIA-front law firm. Named as defendants were lawyers, law firms, and California and federal judges, all acting in unison knowing that their misconduct was blocking the reporting and correction of corrupt activities that had left a trail of death and destruction in its wake. (MS Word) (Adobe PDF) Continuing years of judicial gridlock, the federal judge blocked the reports by dismissing the lawsuit. The dismissal violated federal criminal statutes and civil due process, and also constituted obstruction of justice by blocking the reports of deadly criminal activities. Reno Lawsuit Renewed Legal and Judicial Obstruction of Justice Tactics Against Stich After Stich filed that Reno lawsuit, again threatening to expose not only the underlying corruption but the obstruction of justice roles played by dozens of lawyers and judges, the South Carolina law firm of smith and Collins started another sham action against Stich, with the sole goal of seizing the books that expose the corruption and related deaths and other tragedies. That lawsuit used as a "straw man" a possible wife murdered to act as plaintiff. Further details about the dozens of lawyers and judges involved in the continuing schemes that knowingly obstructed justice can be found by clicking here. By blocking the reporting and exposure of criminal activities that were crimes against the United States, the Friedman law firm, their attorneys, and California judges, played major roles in the conditions that resulting in great harm to the United States and its people. The corruption and the people involved in the corruption will never been identified and punished, unless enough people will show some sign of courage and outrage and patriotism to where this information will be used to fight the literal Trojan horse subversion of America.
