Lawsuits against the FAA and NTSB between 1974 and 1977, seeking to report the corruption in the government safety offices, FAA a NTSB, that made 9/11 possible.

<body> Lawsuits Charging FAA and NTSB with Corruption Related to Several Specific Airline Disasters In an attempt to bring to report corrupt activities in certain key offices of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) associated with a number of airline disasters, former FAA inspector Rodney Stich filed lawsuits in the U.S. District Court at San Francisco. The authority for the lawsuits included: The federal crime reporting statute, Title 18 U.S.C. § 4, which makes it a crime for anyone who knows of a federal crime not to report it to a federal judge (or other federal officer). The other statute is Title 28 U.S.C. § 1361, which permits any citizen to file a federal lawsuit seeking an order to force a federal official to comply with the law and to halt unlawful conduct. The lawsuit against the FAA Stich v. United States, et al. 554 F.2d 1070 (9th Cir.) (table), cert. denied, 434 U.S. 920 (1977). (addressed hard-core air safety misconduct, violations of federal air safety laws, threats against government inspectors not to report safety violations and misconduct, destruction of official reports on serious air safety problems and air safety violations). (MS Word) (Adobe PDF) (WILL BE UPLOADED SHORTLY) That lawsuit sought to report to a federal court the criminal activities related to a series of airline disasters that former federal agent Rodney Stich had discovered in his professional and official duties, and to show that subsequent airline crashes were occurring due to the same corrupt activities. Federal district and appellate judges admitted the gravity of the charges, but upon motion by DOJ lawyers to block the suit, the judges states these were matters for Congress to investigate. Stich was not asking the federal judges to investigate the criminal activities, but to receive the reports as required by the federal crime reporting statute. The Lawsuit Against the NTSB Stich v. National Transportation Safety Board, 685 F.2d 446 (9th Cir.) (table), cert. denied, 459 U.S. 861 (1982))(addressed repeated criminal falsification of official airline accident reports, omitting highly sensitive air safety misconduct, making possible repeated crashes from the same sequestered problems). (MS Word) (Adobe PDF) That lawsuit sought to force the NTSB to receive evidence relating to the primary misconduct that enabled the direct cause of the PSA San Diego crash to occur. That San Diego crash was the world's worst airline disaster at that time, taking the record from the United Airlines crash into New York City--the disaster that caused the FAA to give Stich the assignment to correct the conditions responsible for the worst series of airline disasters in the nation's history. Assistant U.S. attorney George Small telephoned Stich upon receiving the complaint, advising Stich that he was recommending to his Washington superiors that the DOJ supports the action. Unknown to Small, Washington DOJ officials had been covering up for the misconduct in the FAA and NTSB for years, and any support for Stich's action would risk exposing this complicity. Small then filed a motion to dismiss, blocking the action, and the federal judge dutifully complied. Both actions were taken to the U.S. Supreme Court, making the justices aware of the cover-ups by federal judges over whom the Justices had supervisory responsibilities. These mattes are detailed in Unfriendly Skies: 20th and 21st Centuries. Friend-of-the-Court Brief in DC-10 Lawsuit The story of how the DC-10 was certified, knowing of major safety problems, was a classic example of how people died from the actions of FAA management personnel in the Western Region where Stich exposed massive corruption. As a result of the catastrophic DC-10 disaster near Paris, a lawsuit was filed. Amicus curiae brief filed on July 17, 1975, in the Paris DC-10 multi-district litigation, Flanagan v. McDonnell Douglas Corporation and United States of America, Civil Action 74-808-PH, MDL 172, Central District California, addressing the long standing FAA misconduct, of which the cover-up of the DC-10 cargo door problem was one of repeated instances of tragedy related misconduct. (MS Word) (Adobe PDF) Rules of court required that Stich obtain the approval of the lead law firm in that action, and Stich did receive that approval. However, the judge dismissed Stich's filing before Stich could provide insider information on why FAA management had approved design defects that would knowingly result in major air disasters. Lawsuit brief: (MS Word) (Adobe PDF) Justice Department lawyers and federal judges blocked the reporting and production of evidence related to the pattern of documented air safety and criminal violations associated with a series of specific airline crashes, and reflecting the culture that still exists, which played an undercover role in certain recent airline crashes. These activities made possible many airline crashes, fatal hijackings, and the terrorist hijackings of September 11, 2001. Eventually, these same two groups retaliated against former FAA inspector Rodney Stich for attempting to report these corrupt and criminal activities, and inflicted grave personal and financial harm upon him to halt his exposure activities. Details are found in a lawsuit filed in the U.S. district court at Reno, Nevada in 1999, which provides documented evidence to bring to justice a pattern of criminal activities implicating people in key judicial and other government positions. (Word) (Adobe pdf) Partial List of Other Lawsuits Reporting High Level Corruption A partial list of other lawsuits filed between 1978 and 2004. The long list of lawsuits was justified on the basis that: The misconduct being addressed in the aviation area was responsible for many crashes and many deaths--including the hijackings of four airliners on 9/11. Misconduct was addressed in other areas of covert activities by people in government positions, including various forms of criminal activities discovered by former federal agent Rodney Stich and his group of other former government agents and insiders. These corrupt activities were resulting in great harm to many people and to major national interests, including national security. Lawsuits also exercised federal defenses seeking to halt great harm inflicted upon Stich through the various parallel legal schemes seeking to halt his exposure of corruption in government offices.
