Bizarre Lawsuit Intended to Seize Assets that Funded Exposure of Tragedy-Related Corruption The first of a continuing series of legal actions knowingly hindering and blocking the exposure of major criminal activities related to an ongoing series of subversive activities and deaths was started by a CIA-FBI-front law firm in San Francisco: Friedman, Sloan and Ross; and their lawyers. As they surely knew, many deaths would occur by their corrupt conduct. And many deaths did occur. That first of many legal actions to seize the assets that funded the attempts to expose the corruption related to an ongoing series of airline disasters was filed under one of the two provisions of law that permits judicial seizure of assets. These two provisions are probate−when a person dies; and another being a divorce action in which judges seize assets on the claim that they are community property. In this case, Rodney Stich was not dead, so that was not suitable. The second scenario would be a divorce action and seizure of assets for court distribution to the other member of the divorce in community property states. But Stich had been divorced for nearly 20 years, The parties had been legally divorced in a bilateral divorce proceeding since 1966 and that divorce judgment had been entered as a local judgment in the states of Oklahoma, Colorado, Texas, Nevada, and California. Both parties had been declaring themselves as divorced during this entire proceeding in various legal filings, including real estate purchases and sales. Federal and state laws required that any of these judgments be recognized. The Friedman lawyers used a prior wife (Emma Stich, Duncanville, Texas) as a “straw man,” claiming in California courts that the Texas resident wanted a divorce and division of alleged community properties. , the CIA-FBI-front law firm started plundering Stich's assets that funded his exposure activities. California Judges Joined in Racketeering Enterprise to Block Exposure of High Level Corruption 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. 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. 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. Eventually, his corporate assets were seized and liquidated. 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. Meeting Legal Criteria for Racketeering Enterprise The repeated corrupt acts by dozens of lawyers, law firms, and California judges met the legal definition of a racketeering enterprise. 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. 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. Eventually, over a hundred lawyers, law firms, California judges, and federal judges, became implicated in the scheme to block the American public from learning about the deadly corruption. From 1992 to 2006, over 50 lawyers and law firms, some CIA-connected, were involved in a series of sham legal actions, seeking to block Stich's reporting and seize the books exposing the corruption. Intimately involved with the lawyers and law firms, aiding and abetting the criminal obstruction of justice, were California judges and several dozen federal judges, and DOJ prosecutors. Many federal prosecutors and judges who were implicated were subsequently promoted. The consequences? Although the airline disasters were not occurring every few months as when Stich first discovered the corruption, preventable airline disasters did occasionally occur. The most highly publicized, but not associated with the corruption, were the hijackings of four airliners on 9//11. The cover-ups continued, including by the 9/11 Commission, members of Congress, media people. And, as usual, the public, and the next of kin, couldn't be bothered to look at the vast amount of evidence, just as in prior fraud-related airline disasters. CIA-Front Law Firm Started Personal Attacks To Block Reports of Corruption The bizarre 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, with surreal implications, 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. Are the Lawyers and Judges Complicit in 3000 Deaths? Consider the following: Without addressing the other areas affected by the criminal activities that Stich and his group of former government agents sought to report, and addressing only the corruption that affected the aviation environment: IF the culture and corruption within the FAA did in fact exist (as overwhelming documentation shows), which included a history of blocking the implementation of procedures addressing the known safety problems, such as hijackings); It would explain why the known and obviously long overdue measures to prevent the hijackings of the four airliners on 9/11 were not taken; And the preventative measures to prevent airline hijackings did exist (and Stich made such recommendations); And the need for such preventative measures was obvious from years of airline hijackings, plus the knowledge that airline hijackings were planned by Middle East terrorists); And if lawyers did engage in legal actions knowing that they were blocking his reports, and most probably, intended to block the reports; It becomes obvious that the long overdue preventatives measures were blocked by the legal tactics which constituted criminal obstruction of justice; It then becomes obvious that if a citizen had perpetrated a minute fraction of these offenses that he would be criminally prosecuted for complicity in events that led to the 9/11 hijackings and 3,000 deaths. If these lawyers are guilty of any complicity in these events, we also have the complicity of the dozens of members of Congress who knew not only about the underlying criminal activities, but also the criminal obstruction of justice and criminal retaliation against the former federal agent. And the others, in the media and elsewhere, who also knew! Talk about the ugly Americans, what about the criminal Americans! The next question: What are you going to do about this blatant criminal and even subversive conduct by dozens of lawyers? Fraud-Related Tragedies Covered Up, And Made Possible by the Friedman Lawyers All forms of human tragedies have been inflicted upon the people of the United States from the corruption discovered by the people behind this site−and made possible by enablers in and out of government. The below pictures are only a sampling of the consequences from the documented corruption that are able to be portrayed graphically. The tragedies in other areas resulting from the corruption, cover-ups, and public indifference, are not shown here. United Airlines crash into New York City, the world's worst at that time. Withheld from the Amererica public were the reports by federal safety inspectors-investigators showing a continuing pattern of corruption, fraud, criminal alteration of major government required records−and the standard abuse of those few inspectors attempting to require the airline management to comply with industry standards and clear requirements of federal aviation safety requirements−and FAA management to require compliance. None of the guilty, the enablers, to these and the continuing fraud-related crashes ever were held accountable for the hundreds of deaths that they enabled to occur. 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. 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.
