Safety Inspector's Response to Series of Horrific Aviation Disasters, Acting Similar to Independent Prosecutor to Halt Corruption-Enabled Crashes and Deaths In response to the continuing corruption and the continuing series of forewarned and preventable airline disasters made possible by the deep-seated culture of corruption in certain areas of the Federal Aviation Administration, FAA inspector Rodney Stich used the law as it had never been used before: he forced upon the FAA a court-like proceeding before an administrative law judge in which he acted similar to a prosecutor. He charged key FAA management with gross corruption related to several major airline disasters that occurred in his immediate area of federal airline safety responsibilities. FAA hierarchy, including the FAA administer, then embarked on a series of corrupt acts to cover up the deadly misconduct that was already well documented in government records, combined with a series of retaliatory actions. These actions insured that the horrific and preventable aviation disasters would continue—as they did. FAA attorneys and the FAA lawyer acting as hearing officer turned the fact-finding proceedings into an adversarial proceeding. This crash-causing fact-finding hearing was then followed by perjury of witnesses that Stich questioned during the proceedings, subornation of perjury by the FAA attorney seeking to cover up for misconduct that had already played a deadly enabling role in a series of major aviation disasters. Stich included in the 4500-page hearing transcript a closing brief that warned that the culture of corruption would continue and the related crashes and deaths would continue if a cover-up occurred. During the hearing, three more major airline disasters occurred, each one resulting from the exact same safety problems that Stich had repeatedly reported in writing. The last one occurred after Stich submitted his closing brief and before the hearing officer, William Jennings, an attorney on the FAA's administrative staff, issued a decision that was totally contrary to the evidence. a cover-up would result in continuation of the problems and continuation of the crashes and deaths. These crashes and deaths continued during the hearings, and continued after the Stich's closing brief was filed. The deaths of 43 passengers in the United Airlines crash at Salt Lake City−by being cremated alive−didn't phase the hearing officer in the least: he criminally covered up for the misconduct, praised the people perpetrating the corruption, and played a key role in subsequent crashes and deaths that occurred. Jennings left the FAA at some later date and became−believe not−the safety director for the Airline Passengers Association, which has been renamed the International Airline Passengers Association. As the crashes continued, and while Stich was still in the FAA, the head of the FAA's Sky Marshal program urged Stich to file a report with the FAA administrator, which he co-signed, concerning the corruption and related crashes. Stich complied, sending a cover letter and the report in pdf format. Cover letter (August 8, 1966) in the following formats: (MS Word) (Adobe PDF) The long report attached to the cover letter is shown here in three parts in Adobe PDF format: (Part 1) (Part 2) (Part 3). Following a pattern that Stich discovered over the next 40 years, the report was followed by further cover-ups, insuring that the corrupt culture and the resulting airline disasters would continue. On that same program for which Stich had oversight responsibilities, the world's worst airline disaster at that time occurred, the United Airlines crash into the Brooklyn section of New York City. The crashes did continue for many years, but eventually, forces outside of the area of corruption acted to reduce the frequency of airline disasters. However, isolated airline disasters did periodically occur, and hundreds of people perished. Two of the many are stated below: United Airlines crash into the city of Portland, Oregon, due to the very same problems that Stich had repeatedly reported in writing. The scandal had such major possible public outrage that the NTSB refused to conduct the normal public hearing. DC-10 -related FAA corruption. September 11, 2001, the day that a record number of airline disasters occurred. The conditions that enabled four groups of terrorists to so easily hijack four airliners, when the plans were known for weeks, and the steps to prevent hijackings were known and easily put into place. The nearly 3,000 direct deaths were ripple effects, sometimes called the Butterfly Effect, from years of corruption of certain key people in the FAA and the endemic cover-ups of which marks the deep-seated culture in the United States. And also, the indifference of the public, who had heard Stich on radio and saw him on TV in over 3,000 appearances since 1978, and the thousands who read various editions of his book, the latest edition relating to aviation being called History of Aviation Disiasters: 1950 to 9/11 (superseding prior Unfriendly Skies editions). And for the hundreds of next-of-kin, who should have been outraged, and were aware of this information, their only reaction was to file lawsuits for money damages. Pictures of some of United Airlines' worst disasters, also directly associated with the many safety problems, corruption, and even criminal activities, of certain key people at that airline and FAA management, are not available because they either crashed into the Pacific Ocean shortly after taking off from Los Angeles, or the airline that crashes into Lake Michigan while approaching Chicago. Corruption-Related-Consequences Continued for Decades, Enabled by Corrupt Culture of Cover-Ups 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. Harm inflicted on former federal agent and whistleblower during multiple schemes to silence him. Sampling of Early Consequences TWA Flight 800 U.S. Embassy Bombings 9/11 Easily-Preventable Multiple Hijackings 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 Consequences of Corruption, Cover-Ups, And Retaliation Felonies Not Limited to Aviation 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. And many other forms. These offenses are described in the books written by insiders. 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. The culture of corruption affects the people and the nation in many other ways, That includes the latest series of financial frauds that has occurred in the housing and financial sectors. Also, the effect of the endemic corruption and endemic cover-ups−major parts of the culture in the United States−that enablers successful terrorist attacks upon U.S. interests. Harm to People Overseas From Culture Of High-Level Corruption and Lies 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. 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. American Way of Continuing Corrupt Leaders in Government Different nations have different means for corrupt leaders to remain in power. In the United States a different form of brutality is used to silence dissent.
