Introduction to Discovery of
Widespread
Corruption,
Massive Cover-Ups, And
Series of Major National Tragedies
The activist behind this site,
Rodney Stich, first discovered
corruption related to what at that time was the world's worst series of
airline disasters. His attempts to combat the deadly problems was joined over
the years by dozens of other former government agents and insiders.
"Thanks" to Widespread Documented Corruption of Federal
Judges,
Justice Department Personnel, and Dozens of Lawyers
If it were not for the multiple schemes used to
halt Stich's initial exposure of the corruption that at that time was related
to the frequent occurrence of airline crashes, this information would not have
become available. And by their repeated documented acts, evidence is available
to show the American people an area of corrupt activities in seemingly
respected areas of government that meet the legal definition of a racketeering
enterprise−with tragic and sometimes deadly consequences.
These discoveries were spread out over 50
years, with massive amounts of supporting evidence making it possible to
understand how such endemic corrupt activities could occur. For others,
suddenly being exposed to this information, the reaction is sometimes
disbelief. No longer is Stich attempting to convince anyone of these matters.
The information is presented here, and his sole interest now is in documenting
the corruption, the cover-ups, and the tragic state of in-denial by the
American public that continues to enable these fraud-related tragedies to
continue. If that is what the public wants, they have earned what they get!

Discovery and documentation of deep-seated
culture of arrogance and corruption that enabled to occur an eighty-year
period of frequent airline disasters. Federal airline safety inspector
Rodney Stich was given the hands-on task of correcting the conditions
responsible for the worst series of airline disasters in the nation's
history. (Details in the book, Unfriendly Skies: 20th & 21st Centuries.)

Discovery and documentation of corruption in other areas,
including:
-
Drug smuggling and other crimes by personnel
associated with the CIA.
-
Corruption in the Department of Justice.
-
Corruption of members of the House and
Senate.
-
Corruption in the federal courts.
-
And much more.
A great amount of related information and
documentation has been placed at this site on matters having a major impact
upon the lives, and sometimes the deaths, of people who have been and are
being victimized by the corruption and cover-ups. There are hundreds of pages
uploaded at various times at this site, and some of them will be partly
duplicative of what is at other pages. However, the different approaches used
in different pages hopefully will enable those who really want to know, to
better understand the serious issues. (Any suggestions to further clarify the
matters will be appreciated.
Sequence of Discovery and Documentation
The following general areas are listed in the
approximate sequence in which former federal agent discovered them:
Having discovered the corruption in increment
stages, it was easier to understand, although very shocked that such misconduct
could exist. It has been difficult to present the massive amount of data on
this misconduct to people unaware of these matters. For that reason, different
pages at this site may approach the same issues at a slightly different angle.
-
It starts with the discovery by the person
behind this site, Rodney Stich,
of deep-seated corruption related to the worst series of airline disasters
in the nation's history.
-
Years of unprecedented efforts seeking to
circumvent the standard patterns of cover-ups.
-
Discovery of still other areas of corruption,
some Trojan horse, subverting national interests while inflicting
unrecognized grave harm upon the American people. Discovery comes from the
banding together of a group of former government agents and other insiders.
-
Misuse of the awesome powers of the
Department of Justice and federal judiciary, with lawyers acting as shills,
in multiple schemes seeking to halt the exposure of high-level corruption.
Details of the
Corruption As
Discovered by Former Federal Agent
The information about many areas of
corruption described at this site and in the related books was obtained in
the following order:
-
As a key hands-on federal airline safety
inspector-investigator in the 1960s, following many years as an airline
captain in international operations and earlier as a Navy Patrol Plane
Commander, Rodney Stich was
asked to volunteer to correct the conditions that at that time were
responsible for the worst series of airline disasters in the nation's
history.
-
In this position he discovered areas of arrogance and corruption
at a certain major airline, and within the higher levels of the
government's two aviation safety offices: the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) and in the political segment of the National
Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). Despite the continuing series of
airline disasters, many seemingly occurring every few months, attempts to
report and correct these matters were blocked. Members of Congress,
Department of Justice officials, all became complicit in covering up for
the deadly misconduct.
-
Recognizing that it would probably be the
end of his career, but concerned over the enormous harm resulting from the
continuing airline crashes, Stich started to fight the corruption. Due to
the cover-ups, retaliation, and continued discovery of other corruption
inflicting great harm upon the American people, those efforts will
continue until Stich is in his grave.
-
Within the FAA, Stich used the law in such
a manner that he acted similar to an independent prosecutor. Hearings
before an administrator law judge lasted for several months, similar to
the procedures used in criminal trials. During these proceedings Stich
subpoenaed and elicited testimony from FAA management, introduced into the
trial transcript official documents to support his charges that
specific corruption caused
or enabled to occur a series of specific
airline disasters.
Several of these crashes occurred in his immediate area of federal airline
safety responsibilities. Further, during the hearings,
three more major
airline disasters occurred, each crash due to the very same safety
problems and criminal violations that Stich had repeatedly reported, for
which he suffered retaliation. In his
closing brief, Stich
warned of the consequences of a cover-up.
-
The standard cover-up did occur, as is
standard in government offices. The same corrupt culture that Stich sought
to expose continued, and the resulting airline crashes continued to occur,
with an even greater loss of life due to the larger size of subsequent
aircraft. Since Stich had the evidence to show why the crashes and even
greater number of people killed were occurring, he then started a
seemingly endless series of tactics to bring an end to the never-ending
tragedies.
-
Since Stich encountered the standard
cover-up by his many letters to Congress, his letters to the Department of
Justice, to media people, he exercised rights and responsibilities under
federal law, and filed lawsuits, first in the federal courts at San
Francisco. Two of these initial lawsuits were against the Federal Aviation
Administration and one was against the National Transportation safety
board.
Federal Statute
for Reporting
Corruption in Government
The federal statutes providing a mandatory
responsibility for federal judges included the following:
-
Federal crime reporting statute,
Title 18 U.S.C. § 4.
That statute requires that anyone who knows of a federal crime must
promptly report it to a federal judge or other federal officer. Members
of Congress, Department of Justice officials, and other agencies that
Stich contacted, fell under that responsibility. But they all blocked
the reports. Stich felt that by reporting the federal crimes related to
a series of specific airline disasters would force attention to be
focused on the serious matters. A federal judge must receive the
information of a federal crime as part of the judge's mandatory
administrative duties. To block such reports would be a criminal act
under various obstruction of justice statutes.
-
Federal statute,
Title 28 U.S.C. § 1361
provides that anyone can file a federal action seeking an order to force
a federal official to carry out his mandatory duties and to halt
unlawful conduct. A federal judge is required to provide an honest
hearing and to issue such an order if the evidence warrants it.
Obstruction of Justice by Political
U.S. Department of Justice Employees
In every instance, U.S. attorneys promptly
filed motions to block the reports, which carried out their earlier
actions to block the information from being made public while Stich was a
federal agent in the FAA. Their earlier obstruction of justice made
possible the continuation of the criminal and corrupt activities, and
enabled to occur many airline crashes and many deaths. Department of
Justice officials had a self-interest in preventing Stich's exposure of
the criminal activities.
In every case, federal judges−most of whom were
former federal prosecutors−reacted by blocking the reporting of the
criminal activities, thereby violating the federal crime reporting
statute, and blocked presentation of evidence seeking to obtain a court
order−thereby violating numerous procedural due process rights.
These judicial obstruction of justice acts
insured that the corrupt and criminal acts would continue−which they
did−along with a continuing series of major airline disasters. (The
frequent occurrence of preventable airline disasters continued for
approximately 20 years, after which other factors eventually greatly
reduced the frequency of airline disasters. However, preventable airline
disasters did occasionally occur, the most publicized being the easily
preventable hijackings of four airliners on 9/11−though the resulting
ripple effects were not publicized nor recognized.)
By this time, Stich remained
active in aviation safety (Society of Air Safety Investigators, Lawyer
Pilots Bar Association, and active pilot of his own twin-engine aircraft).
The continuing crashes motivated Stich to try another tactic: publishing a
book on the politics of airline safety.
Circumventing Repeated Cover-Ups
By Going to the People (Dreamer)
The first book was published in
1978, just as the world's worst air disaster occurred, a PSA Boeing 727
that crashed into San Diego, taking the world record from the United
Airlines DC-8 crash into New York City in 1960. (Ironically, the
misconduct of key people at United Airlines that resulted in that great
tragedy assisted in the continuation of the misconduct in the FAA that
would enable to occur the hijacking of two United Airlines aircraft on
September 11, 2001. That relationship would be clear after a thorough
reading and understanding of the contents of the book, Unfriendly
Skies: 20th & 21st Centuries, which is the fourth edition of the
original Unfriendly Skies.)
Concurrent with the publication of the first edition of
Unfriendly Skies, Stich started appearing on
hundreds of radio and television shows throughout the United States. His
appearances resulted in several conditions:
Other government agents and insiders
started contacting Stich with information of corruption of people in key
overt and covert government operations. These areas went far beyond the
aviation arena, and provided the material for a series of other books on
what Stich euphemistically called government intrigue. More accurately,
major corrupt and criminal acts inflicting great harm upon important
national issues, including national security. These areas are detailed
in the books that Stich subsequently wrote.
Another reaction to the book and the
radio-TV shows was that powerful people were now exposed as involved in
either the initial criminal acts or the cover-up of them. These included
federal judges and Justice Department officials, both of whom had vast
raw power to inflict great harm upon any targeted individual. And as
Stich would discover over the years, the power to control state
prosecutors, state judges, and lawyers.
Having left the FAA, Stich worked for a
period of time for Flying Tigers Airline, having sole responsibility for
preparing the pilot operating procedure for the stretched DC-8 aircraft
that the airline had on order. During this time, Stich became a real
estate investor, building or upgrading a 60-unit motel in Yuba City,
California; a truck stop; a golf course, and over 100 apartment units in
Northern California.
It was these assets that funded Stich's exposure
activities, which involved publishing non-profit books, using his
twin-engine aircraft to fly to distant radio and television appearances.
During several of these appearances, talkshow hosts asked Stich if he
weren't worried about what may be done to him. Stich replied, "As long as
they can't take my assets, I'm OK." That statement may have given people
at risk for what Stich was doing an idea.
Sham Lawsuits:
1982 to 2005,
By Hoard of Lawyers Knowingly Hindering
Exposure of High-Level Corruption
Starting in 1982, the vast powers of
lawyers and law firms affiliated with the CIA and FBI, and state and
federal judges, was directed against Stich. The action started with a
sham lawsuit filed by the
San Francisco law firm of Friedman, Sloan and Ross, and their
lawyers, and over a
dozen California judges. That law firm and its lawyers were fronts for the
CIA and FBI, as Stich would later learn. Dozens of state and federal laws
were repeatedly violated by the California judges assisting the
CIA-FBI-front law firms.
During this time, as Stich discovered, both
personally and from his large number of inside sources, corrupt and
criminal activities of people in other areas of overt and covert
activities. Again and again, Stich exercised the same federal statutes to
report the federal offenses to federal judges, and several times went all
the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. If the crimes were not inflicting the
major harm subverting major national interests, and adversely affecting so
many people,. Stich might have given up. But the gravity of the offenses
and the harm resulting from them caused him to continue. Maybe, tilting at
windmills in light of the extent of the corruption. By this time, it
became necessary for every subsequent federal judge confronted with the
serious charges to continue both the obstruction of justice tactics and
the massive violations of due process.
Federal judges, in unison with Department
of Justice personnel, from 1984 to 2003, continued the same
obstruction of justice that they had done when Stich sought to report the
federal offenses related to a series of airline disasters, and worse. For
instance:
To block Stich from reporting the
federal crimes,
over half a dozen federal judges issued unlawful and unconstitutional
orders barring Stich for the remainder of his life from filing any
papers in any federal district or appellate court. These orders still
exist, making Stich a literal man without a country as it relates to the
protections of the laws and Constitution of the United States. The
orders also prevented Stich from exercising the federal protections
against the ongoing massive civil and constitutional violations in the
California courts that involved the CIA-FBI-front law firms and
cooperating
California judges.
Contempt of Court Charges for Reporting
Corruption Related to Major National Tragedies
When Stich did attempt to report corrupt and
criminal activities
related to the corruption that he had discovered, initially as a federal
aviation safety inspector-investigator, federal prosecutor David Levi in Sacramento,
California, in unison with several federal judges (Milton Schwartz, Raul
Ramirez, John Moulds) charged Stich with
criminal contempt of court. Stich
was being charged with criminal contempt of court for attempting to
report−as required by the federal crime reporting statute−such criminal
activities as:
Kangaroo Court
Trial Conducted by
Parties Implicated in the Corruption
And Repeated National Tragedies
The combination of Justice Department and
judicial corruption
denied him a jury trial, and then sentenced him to six months in federal
prison. He entered prison shortly after recovering from multiple-bypass open heart
surgery, at the age of 64.
Sacramento lawyer Joel Pegg, who was paid
over $30,000 to represent Stich, sabotaged his
contempt-of-court
defenses. It is important to remember that the contempt of court
tactics, and the seizure of the assets that funded his exposure activities,
were important links in continuing the corruption that enabled to occur the
hijacking of four airliners on 9/11, killing 3,000 people, with multiple
financial, personal, and national security consequences thereafter. These
ripple effects might be of some interest to the American public obsessed
with trivia!
While in prison, federal judges, assisted
by Department of Justice trustee Charles Duck (later sent to prison)
issued unlawful and unconstitutional orders, without a hearing, that
seized and eventually
stripped Stich of
the $10 million in assets that funded his exposure activities. Las
Vegas lawyer Joshua Landish, who was paid over $15,000 to defend Stich
against the seizure of his assets, encouraged Las Vegas Judge Robert
Jones to seize and liquidate the assets without Stich's knowledge.
In every case, including the initial block
to reporting the crash-related corruption, Stich filed appeals and
petitions for writ of certiorari to the
Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court
throughout this 20-year period. The Justices were fully aware of the
gravity of the acts perpetrated by federal judges over whom they had
supervisory responsibilities. This implicated Supreme Court justices in
the criminal activities since they also had a responsibility under the
federal crime reporting statute and also under their supervisory
responsibilities over the federal judges perpetrating the repeated
obstructions of justice.
The only Justice that even acknowledged the
problems was U.S. Supreme Court Justice Bryan White in a
letter
that he sent to Stich. (Adobe
PDF) The gravity of these documented matters cannot be underestimated:
major crimes were committed by people in key government positions,
literally Trojan horse subversive activities! Eventually, 11 years after
seizing Stich's assets (which are now worth about $17 million), Stich was
converted from a multi-millionaire to a pauper stage, at the age of 74,
done with the help of dozens of lawyers, law firms, California judges, and
federal judges. And done while members of Congress and Department of
Justice personnel looked on!
Those legal actions inflicted a continuing
series of financial and personal harms on a daily basis, from 1982 to
1999. These actions then started again with sham actions by
lawyers, law firms, and state
judges in South Carolina, and then by
lawyers and law firms in the
Los Angeles area, and by a continuation of California judges. To this
date, various actions using lawyers and judges are attempting to halt
Stich's attempts to make the vast amount of information known to the
American people. (What they fail to realize is that virtually nothing will
motivate the American people unless it affects some trivial pacifiers with
which they are obsessed!)
The Documented Corruption
by Enablers
To Some of the Nation's Worst Tragedies
The main issues here are not what was done to
someone seeking to protect the United States and its people from a hoard of
corrupt people in and out of government. The main issues are these:
Federal Judges' Repeated
Obstruction
Of Justice Acts Were Criminal
The years of cover-ups and retaliation by
federal judges were
felonies under
numerous federal statutes.
The retaliation by federal judges and Justice Department lawyers
were felonies under
Title 18 U.S.C. §§
35,
111,
241,
242,
245(b)(1)(B),
246,
371,
1341,
1343,
1503,
1505,
1512,
1513(b), and
1515(a). Other
criminal offenses
arose from the many forms of obstruction of
justice tactics: Title 18 U.S.C. §§ 2,
3, and
4,
34,
1621,
2001. Additional statutes
involved: Title 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331,
1343,
1361.
Capital Crimes When
Felonies Result in Deaths
When
people are killed as a result of corrupt actions, the statute of limitations
never expires. That means that all of the people involved in seeking to halt
Stich's exposure of criminal activities that remained uncorrected as a result
of their acts, would be guilty of contributing to the deaths of people that
were enabled to occur by their conduct. They can therefore be charged with
murder in the deaths that occurred. Think what the ramifications would be of
that!
If the
same standards that are used to charge people with murder who didn't actually
perpetrate the act but whose misconduct enabled the murders to occur, many
hundreds of people identified at this site and in the related books could be
charged with hundreds of murders.
