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, several law firms and large numbers of lawyers were involved in various legal schemes and attacks, seeking to halt the exposure activities of that former federal agent. These corruption activities in the FAA, that Stich discovered during his professional aviation safety responsibilities as a federal agent, had been responsible for conditions that resulted in a number of fatal catastrophic airline disasters. So concerned was Stich for the continuing deaths that he used the law in such a manner that he acted similar to an independent prosecutor, conducting hearings during a four month period that further proved his charges. Part of his final closing brief warned the hearing officer, William Jennings from the FAA administrator's office (a lawyer), of the catastrophic consequences that would occur if he engaged in a cover-up. During the hearing, three more airline disasters occurred, each of which were caused by the exact same safety problems and safety violations that Stich had repeatedly reported, for which he received retaliation from FAA management, who sought to destroy the official reports. (Details in Unfriendly Skies: 20th and 21st Centuries.) The standard cover-up then followed, causing Stich to leave government service. The crashes continued, and with the larger size of the newer aircraft, the death toll in each disaster was higher than in the past. Having encountered the standard cover-ups by members of Congress and Department of Justice personnel, Stich published books and appeared as guest on hundreds of radio and television shows, starting in 1978, and now over 3,000. Another tactic to circumvent the felonious cover-ups and felony retaliation for reporting the deadly corruption in the FAA, Stich exercised the mandatory requirements under the federal crime reporting statute. That statute requires that anyone who knows of a federal crime to report it to a federal judge or other federal official. Federal judges are then required to receive the information as part of the judge's mandatory administrative duties. These lawsuits were filed in the federal courts in California between 1978 and 1982. Although judges admitted the gravity of the charges, they refused to allow the information of criminal activities to be presented. These were criminal acts under the obstruction of justice statutes. The crashes and deaths continued to occur, from the very same corrupt culture that the judges were covering up, making them accomplices in the resulting crashes and tragedies. In the second edition of Unfriendly Skies, the book described the judicial cover-ups and resulting crashes and deaths, naming the district and appellate judges who were implicated in the cover-ups. Stich was using his assets to fund these exposure activities. The CIA-front San Francisco law firm of Friedman, Sloan and Ross, and their lawyers, filed a sham lawsuit against Stich, placing a label on it that permitted the court to immediately separate Stich from these assets. That lawsuit, filed in the state courts at Fairfield, California, violated blocks of state and federal laws, any one of which required immediate dismissal. Incredibly, every judge of the California appellate courts approved the massive violations of state and federal law, insuring that the CIA-front law firm was protected, along with its goal of stripping Stich of the assets that funded his exposure activities. Since the violations occurring in the California courts constituted violations of federally protected rights, for which multiple federal remedies existed, that guaranteed an right to federal court access and orders halting the violations. The same federal judges who were blocking the reporting of the criminal activities, and were implicated in the resulting deaths, then repeatedly violated every protections that they were paid and entrusted to provide. Their actions protected the scheme, protected the CIA-front law firm and lawyers, and protected the California judges who became part of the scheme. Due to Stich's publicity, other government agents started provided him information of corruption that in other government offices. Again, Stich sought to report these crimes against the United States as required by the federal crime reporting statute. Again, federal judges blocked the reports. Without going in the many other details, federal judges and the CIA-front law firm seized Stich's assets, violating the requirement of a hearing, notice of hearing, and legally required cause. From 1987 to 1997, they stripped Stich of his life's assets, converting him from a multi-millionaire to a state of poverty. Sham Lawsuit against Stich by South Carolina Law Firm with CIA-Connections Prior to 9/11, Stich made one more attempt to report the criminal activities within then FAA, FBI-DOJ, and CIA that he had discovered from the many agents who provided him insider information. These wee agents of then FBI, CIA, DEA, ONI, Customs, FAA; former drug smugglers carrying out drug smuggling operations for CIA agents and during the Contra operation; and former Mafia figures, including Gregory Scarpa, Jr. (MS Word) (Adobe PDF) At this stage, federal judges were so heavily implicated that they blocked the lawsuit from proceeding. During the proceedings, the 9/11 hijackings occurred. Stich then filed into that lawsuit a declaration showing the relationship of the lawyers and judges in multiple legal schemes to block the reporting of the tragedy-related corruption. Final Lawsuit Filed in Federal Courts, NYC, Seeking to Report Corrupt Activities That Enabled 9/11 to Occur South Carolina Law Firm, With CIA-Links, Continued Legal Schemes To Prevent Books Detailing the Corruption From Being Released to Publicc 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. A description of that scheme is found in a lawsuit filed in the federal courts at Reno, Nevada. (MS Word) (Adobe PDF) The allegations in the lawsuit were immediately disproved by the facts to which they referred. Read on for the details, and 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: "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 19, 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. In this case, the 3,000 deaths on 9/11 were only one-day's consequences of the corruption. (MS Word) (Adobe PDF) Among the defenses Stich filed, under California law, was a defense against the default judgment from South Carolina being entered as a local judgment in California. (MS Word) (Adobe PDF) Defense. (MS Word) (Adobe PDF) The California judges, who had engaged in six years of massive civil rights violations against Stich with the CIA-front law firm, then entered the $3 million default judgment as a California judgment. The Smith-Collins law firm in South Carolina then hired two different local law firms to act on the judgment, and both refused to proceed after contacting Stich. Their refusal could have been caused by: Stich's total lack of assets, having been stripped of them by federal judges acting with the CIA-front law firm. Recognition of the corruption to silence Stich's exposure of the criminal activities and the related catastrophic consequences. Facts Surfaced In Legal Newspaper Article That the Law Firm CIA or Other Government Ties The facts strongly indicate 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. Pasadena Lawyer John Guerrini Joined the Scheme On July 20, 2006, Pasadena lawyer John Guerrini took over to exert efforts to halt Stich's exposure of the corruption that included that which made 9/11 possible. How he would proceed was to be seen, as: Stich had no assets. He had no income other than Social Security. The books that were part of Diablo Western Press were no longer in the possession of Diablo Western Press. Keep posted for the latest of the series of legal schemes that had such brutal consequences.
