<body> Latest Legal Scheme to Sequester Evidence A sham lawsuit was filed against former government agent Rodney Stich and the company publishing books exposing criminal activities in government offices. That same lawyer and law firm several years later filed a lawsuit seeking to discredit CBS 60-Minute exposure of President George Bush II Texas Air National Guard record. Starting in 1982, as Stich's exposure activities were threatening to expose corruption identified in his book, Unfriendly Skies, large numbers of law firms and attorneys were 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 the books, Unfriendly Skies, Defrauding America, and Drugging America. These unlawful, unconstitutional and coordinated judicial and legal fraternity activities inflicted great personal and financial harm upon Stich, with the apparent intent to bring his exposure activities to a halt. They failed to halt his activities, although Stich suffered terrible personal and financial harm from the unified activities. After Stich filed his latest lawsuit that threatened to expose the entire pattern of judicial and legal fraternity corruption, various tactics were commenced to again halt his activities. One of these legal fraternity stunts was the filing of a lawsuit against Stich by the Charleston, South Carolina, law firm of Smith and Collins, and their attorneys, David Athell Collins and Steven L. Smith. The lawsuit was filed in a small county court where judges are even more corrupt than in the larger city courts where there is more attention to what judges do. The allegations in the lawsuit were immediately disproved by the facts to which they referred. A description of that scheme is found in a lawsuit filed by Stich in the federal courts at Reno, Nevada, seeking relief from the latest post-9/11 tactics to silence him. (MS Word) (Adobe PDF) Sham Lawsuit Sought to Seize Expose Books The sham lawsuit sought to seize the supply of books exposing corruption in government, which at that time consisted of Defrauding America, Drugging America, and Unfriendly Skies. it is suspected that the sham lawsuit was either an effort by a group in the legal fraternity to retaliate against Stich for exposing their widespread corrupt practices, or, an effort to derail Stich's lawsuit filed in Reno, Nevada, against a coalition of California and federal judges and large numbers of law firms and attorneys. The law firm knew that Stich had no assets to pay for legal counsel 3,000 miles away, before a judge who is often in the pocket of certain law firms and attorneys. They knew that the publishing company had no assets other than the books, and that it was literally a non-profit operation. Their goal apparently was to obtain a default judgment and then seize control of the books and the name of the books. This scheme would protect the California and federal judges, the legal fraternity whose involvement in the corruption goes back 40 years, as stated in each of Stich's books, would protect Justice Department personnel, members of Congress, and the corruption at United Airlines that caused such brutal consequences for the victim of its fraud. Stich had no connection to the State of South Carolina. Neither did Diablo Western Press. It had no office there and solicited no business there. And the charges were clearly disputed by the clear wording in the book. Although the lawsuit was directed at Stich and the publishing company, people who would be harmed by it would be those who are victimized by the corruption Stich seeks to publicize through his book publishing. That includes the victims of fraud related to air safety; the victims of the arrogant and corrupt was on drugs; the victim of the bankruptcy court fraud; and the victims of the many other criminal activities implicating people in key government positions, federal and California judges, and many others. Attorney David Athell Collins first contacted Stich through a June 8, 2000 letter, falsely stating that "Stich makes certain accusations against my client. Essentially, Mr. Stich has accused my client of killing his ex-wife and that the murder was covered up." The book clearly did not make any such statement or insinuation. (MS Word) (Adobe PDF) Stich responded with a June 29, 2000 letter, making it clear that no such charge was made by the clear wording in the book. (MS Word) (Adobe PDF) Disregarding the absence of jurisdiction over a California resident, the South Carolina judge rendered a $3 million default judgment against Stich and Diablo Western Press. That South Carolina law firm then paid California lawyers to file an action in the California courts to enter the South Carolina default judgment as a local California judgment, and then seize the books exposing the corruption in government offices. Although Collins knew that federal judges had seized all of Stich's assets and that he had none to seize, tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees were spent to continue the action, solely to seize the books that would have no value to them. The same California judicial system that had played key roles against Stich in unison with a CIA-front law firm, then refused to recognize California law that barred the filing, including Stich's protection under the SLAPP doctrine. That doctrine provides defense against lawsuits seeking to retaliate against people exposing corruption, including corruption in government offices. California judges then entered the $3 million default judgment as a California judgment. Stich first sought relief against the SLAPP action in the California courts, encountering the same massive judicial block that he had previously encountered. (MS Word) (Adobe PDF) Stich then filed a lawsuit in the federal courts at Reno, Nevada, and again, encountered the same judicial block as in prior years. March 28, 2002. (MS Word) (Adobe PDF) The involvement of California and federal judges in the schemes against Stich was known throughout the judicial and legal system, insuring that Stich could never received his day in court. Among those involved in that scheme were the lawyers David Collins, Troy Guerard Knight, Jerome M. Yalon, Irwin J. Eskanos, Barry Adler, and Jeff Daniel; the law firms of Smith and Collins in South Carolina, and Eskianos and Adler; and the person used as the Plaintiff in the action, Steve Gratzer, who moved from Nevada to South Carolina, where he was a prison guard. The Collins law firm hired local attorneys to collect on the judgment, all of whom refused to proceed. Law Firm Had CIA or Other Government Ties An article in the San Francisco legal newspaper, Daily Journal, strongly indicated that Collins and his law firm were acting for unknown sources in government, not only against Stich, but against those who were exposing President George Bush's delinquent air national guard record. Similar acts were done to discredit Operation Tailwind. List of print and e-books, some of which are available at no charge.
