History of Harm Resulting From Corruption in Government and Its Cover Up Harm in Aviation Disasters Resulting from Corrupt Culture From about 1950 to about 1985, airline crashes were a common occurrence, sometimes occurring seemingly every few months. The corruption in the government's aviation safety offices that created the conditions for those many airline disasters still exists today. But due to other factors, the deep-seated culture of misconduct only occasionally results in air disasters. Examples of this would be the Alaskan Airlines DC-9 that plunged into the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Southern California, the DC-10 scandal−and the hijackings of four airliners on 9/11. Similar to giant trees that grow from little acorns, seemingly unrelated and minor offenses result in catastrophic consequences. For instance, the hijacking of four airliners on September 11, 2001, that: Killed nearly 3,000 people. Developed into starting a war with Afghanistan, and with Iraq. The deaths of over 4,300 American GIs, and tens of thousands of wounded and permanently maimed military personnel, and enormous mental problems. The greatest growth of people in the world's history wanting to kill Americans. Were the ripple effects from such seemingly remote misconduct as: The years of deep-seated misconduct by certain people in the FAA. The people involved in the cover-ups of these deadly conditions, which included for instance: Cover-ups by the political National Transportation Safety Board. Cover-ups by members of Congress. The series of cover-ups by federal judges. The retaliation against a former federal aviation safety agent by federal judges and Department of Justice employees. The 23 years of continuous filing of sham legal actions against that former federal agent by a hoard of over 50 lawyers and law firms acting in parallel and unison with federal judges and Justice Department employees. These matters are extensively detailed and documented in the book, Unfriendly Skies: 20th & 21st Centuries. Sampling of pages that address these issues among the 1000-plus pages at this site include the following: Corruption in the primary government department responsible for the nation's aviation safety. Sampling of the crashes and deaths arising from this documented corruption and cover-ups. Information related to the corruption that enabled four groups of terrorists to so easily hijack four airliners on September 11, 2001. The role played by high-level FBI-DOJ personnel in "deep-sixing" information obtained from a Mafia soldier acting as a mole in one of the top al Qaeda cells, and how the cover-up enabled a series of major terrorist attacks to occur that killed nearly 3,000 people.

History of Frauds Affecting The Housing and Financial Sectors Probably never before in the living memory of anyone in the United States, more people The greatest housing, financial, and credit debacle in the nation's history, brought down upon the American people by a seemingly endless list of corrupt people in and out of government. As usual, they will mostly remain unpunished, and the mostly uninquisitive American public will lack the interest or backbone to show any outrage. will be harmed from the corruption associated with the housing and financial sectors. As this is written, the people have only seen the start of the financial and human miseries that will last for years, and very possibly be worst than what occurred during the financial depression of the 1930 in which this writer grew up. This great harm resulting in mall forms of human tragedies, including many suicides, required the complicity of many people and many groups, some of whom were the same ones responsible for the savings and loan corruption of the 1980s. Among the people responsible for these housing-financial tragedies are: The the real estate sales people, the appraisers, the mortgage brokers, and the initial lenders. Wall Street financial personnel who promoted the frauds and then securitized the junk assets, selling the known junk securities to investors, which included pension funds. Members of Congress, who, under the influence of bribes, removed legislation that enabled the frauds to occur, or enacted legislation to enable the frauds to start and flourish. Media people, especially the thousands of media people focusing on the financial sectors. The housing and financial sectors that finally collapsed in 2007, were simply one in a long line of prior frauds, such as the savings and loan frauds of the 1980s. Harm From Prior Financial Frauds Prior to the recent housing and financial frauds there were many others. Among the worstdirectly harmed people in the United States, as well as national security. A few of these matters are briefly mentioned here, and the cost of many of these frauds has yet to be paid by the younger generation: were the savings and loan scandals in the 1980s, with the same groups involved, and the same groups in Congress and elsewhere that made them possible. They all contributed to the enormous national debt, much of it based on money borrowed from Communist countries. The harm resulting from the latest housing and financial frauds will continue for years, and seen in such matters as: Tens of thousands of homes lost through foreclosures, accompanied by endless series of personal and financial trauma. Especially traumatic for people living in a cold climate, in winter, having to move their family into an automobile to survive. Families penniless, without funds for food, medication, some living in tents or in cars. Families unable to afford medical care. Families breaking up. Years of joblessness for millions, without funds, and living a life of misery. Retirement income wiped out, especially traumatic for elderly people who have no means to earn money. Two books that address these maters:: America's Housing and Financial Frauds Congress and Other Cesspools Defrauding America reveals the role of CIA assets in looting the savings and loans and other financial frauds. Harm from corrupt war on drugs Virtually no attention has been given to the many tragedies associated with illegal drugs,, or the role of CIA assets in smuggling the drugs into the United States−and the high-level cover-up of these crimes against the United States and its people. Tens of thousands, if not millions, of people have been sent to prison on drug-related offenses that probably would not have occurred without the CIA's heavy involvement in drug trafficking. Innocent people sentenced to long prison terms, even life sentences, sometimes using perjured testimony. Unprecedented number of drug-related murders throughout the United States, some of it related to drug smuggling by people working for the CIA and other government entities. Communities converted into battle zones from the effects of drugs, some smuggled into the United States by the CIA with aid of other government bodies. Creating a phony and costly "war on drugs" responsible for major human tragedies. Turning American cities into war zones. Turning Mexico into a virtually war zone as brutal drug smugglers strive to meet the demands of U.S. drug users. Minor drug users sentenced to years, sometimes life, in prison. Corrupt war on drugs profit many others, including builders and maintainers of prisons, prison employees, lawyers. A growth industry built on the broken lives of Americans. Creates bizarre contradictions. Several recent presidents of the United States, including Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, admitted using drugs. While they were never prosecuted, others doing the same were sent to prison. The books that most directly detail and document this relationship are: Drugging America. Defrauding America Imprisonment of Innocent People Through False Charges by Prosecutors Seeking to enhance their position, or receive outstanding awards and money, state and federal prosecutors routinely: False charges, often using known perjured testimony, is routine. Often times financial ruin for the victim and his or her family. Long prison sentences, sometimes life. Corrupting government offices, primarily the Department of Justice. The thousands of people imprisoned on false charges, often through the use of perjured testimony demanded by prosecutors. The seizure of people's life assets without being charged of any crime, or having been found innocent, with no return of assets. Involvement in covering up for corruption in high overt or covert operations, including drug smuggling by CIA assets and other crimes. FBI agents involved with organized crime and Mafia figures in murders (as detailed in the book, Crimes of the FBI-DOJ, and the Mafia. Involvement in sham charges against government whistleblowers. Withholding of advance information from a mole inside an al Qaeda cell on planned terrorist attacks so as to protect corruption of key FBI-DOJ personnel, which blocked preventative measures to be taken. The forewarned terrorist attacks upon U.S. targets then occurred, with the loss of almost 4,000 lives. Details in the book, Crimes of the FBI-DOJ, and the Mafia. Details and documentation in almost all of the books, but especially in Drugging America; Defrauding America; Disavow; FBI, CIA, the Mob, and Treachery. Corruption in the Bankruptcy Courts The little-known corruption in the nation's bankruptcy courts financially benefits many people while the victims are converted into poverty, some of whom are aged people unable to earn a living, and forced to live in abstract poverty. People involved in these corrupt activities include federal judges, Justice Department trustees, lawyers and law firms, and occasionally CIA assets. Misuse of the bankruptcy courts by the CIA as they force targeted companies or individuals into bankruptcy and then unlawfully seize and liquidate the victim's assts. The seizure and liquidation of people's assets who naively exercise the statutory protection of Chapter 11 to have time to pay debts that came due during a momentary shortage of funds. This area is detailed and documented in the books, Defrauding America, and Unfriendly Skies: 20th and 21st Centuries. Harm from Corrupt federal judges Pattern of documented cover-ups of ongoing criminal activities that in addition to felony obstruction of justice, enabled to continue great harm resulting from the corruption−and the cover-ups. Facilitating the sham charges against government whistleblowers so as to prevent the public from learning about serious corruption in overt and covert government operations. Pages with further details include the following: Judicial corruption. Enablers of great American tragedies. Thousands of American Deaths Resulting From Serial Lying by U.S. Politicians A history of serial lying by U.S. politicians had resulted in tens of thousands of Americans being killed and hundreds of thousands injured and maimed. Younger generations, ignorant of the past, continue to be victimized in this manner. A few examples as given by a former Navy pilot who started his military service in 1940: Korea Serial and continuous lying to "justify" the invasion of Korean. 38,000 American GIs killed, and tens of thousands of GIs injured and maimed. Over 100,000 Koreans killed. Vietnam Serial lying to "justify" the invasion of Vietnam. 58,000 American GIs killed, and tens of thousands of GIs injured and maimed. Estimated 20,000 to 40,000 Vietnamese murdered in Operation Phoenix. Over 200,000 estimated Vietnamese killed while defending their country against the invading U.S. troops. Over 20,000 Vietnamese killed in the CIA's Operation Phoenix. Laos and Cambodia Lying to cover up for the U.S. bombing of Laos and Cambodia during the invasion of Vietnam. Unknown number of innocent Laotians and Cambodians killed by U.S. bombing of their country. Grenada Lying to justify invasion of the little island of Grenada. Hundreds of Grenadians killed. Panama Lying to justify invasion of Panama. Hundreds of Panamanians killed. IRAQ Serial lying to "justify" the invasion of Iraq. Estimated over one million Iraqis killed, maimed, and wounded. Over 4,0000 American GIs killed and tens of thousands of wounded and permanently crippled. Worldwide hatred for Americans and the world's greatest increase in the number of people wanting to kill Americans. Huge indebtedness of the United States taxpayers, much of it funded by communist countries. Remember when the word "communist" justified explosive increase in funding the military-industrial complex! Destabilizing the entire Middle East, resulting in an explosive mixture that at any point could start World War III, with nuclear missiles reaching the United States sent by countries encouraged by President Bush to engage to pre-emptive strikes. Making this worse, the Reagan-Bush administrations were secretly funding and arming Iraq until just prior to Iraq's invasion of Kuwait. Endemic Corruption Will Continue Unless Public Culture Changes The people that have control of key segments of America have been using the American public as a feeding trough. The culture in and out of government is so corrupt, and incapable of changing its profitable ways, and the cover-up of such corrupt so complete, that only changes in the public's culture can bring this about. With the great decline in America's values, this change must come from the few Americans that still have the desired to protect America's former values. These are suggestions for the changes that are required: Start reading a series of books on these matters and understand what is revealed. Become vocal about your outrage. The internet now provides people the ability to circumvent the cover-ups by media people and others. Use these avenues for publicizing the information. You May be the Next Victim You, or any member of your family, could very well be the next victim. A poem written about the German people is appropriate for what has been done to the American people: First they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out, because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the Communists, and I did not speak out, because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out, because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak out for me. Pastor Martin Niemöller Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984) first supported the rise of Adolf Hitler, and then upon learning the truth, and objecting, he was imprisoned. He wrote a poem about the state of denial of Germans about what Hitler was doing. Probably no better example could be shown than what has been done to the American people, in their name, while they lazily ignored the outrages. Great Airline Disasters With Links to Corrupt Culture Most of the above catastrophic events occurred on the program for which FAA air carrier operations inspector Rodney Stich had been given the assignment to correct the conditions responsible for the worst series of airline disasters in the nation's history. Pictures of many other crashes are not shown. Recent Catastrophic Events Enabled by Corruption and Cover-Ups The continuation of the culture of corruption−and the continuation of the cover-ups−made many people and groups enablers of many subsequent airline disasters. The following aviation disasters occurred after forewarned information of the terrorist attacks were given to FBI agents by a mole inside a key al Qaeda cell: TWA Flight 800, departing a New York City airport was downed, shortly thereafter. Strong Suspicion of Terrorist Act. See the book, Unfriendly Skies: 20th & 21st Centuries. See also comparison of blame for 9/11, and 9/11 enablers: Results of the hijackings of U.S. airliners occurring on September 11, 2001.September 11, 2001 Forewarned Terrorist Attacks Details about the FBI-DOJ cover-ups and the contacts between the al Qaeda operative and Gregory Scarpa Jr. can be found in the book, Crimes of the FBI-DOJ, and the Mafia, available in print and e-book formats from amazon.com (and in Kimble) and other sources. The decades of preventable airline disasters and their enablers are described and documented in the book, Unfriendly Skies: 20th & 21st Centuries. American Airlines Flight 587 (Strong indications of Terrorist Action) Consequences Not Limited to Aviation and External Terrorists While heavy reference is made to the terrorist attacks made possible by the pattern of corruption and cover-ups, this same culture of corruption affects the people and the nation in many other ways, Ripple Effects from Corruption And Cover-Ups Not Limited to Aviation 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. As below: Forewarned Bombings of U.S. Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania U.S. Embassies in Africa: Sampling of Other Pages Among the 1000-plus other pages are the following that will provide more information that affects the lives and the future of the American people: Index on 9/11 matters, and 9/11 enablers. Most recent information on the role of FBI-DOJ employees in insuring the success of several major al Qaeda terrorist attacks on U.S. targets, and comparison of blame between Afghanistan, Iraq, and U.S. enablers for thousands of deaths.
