Accessory Before And After The Fact
An accessory is a person who in some manner is connected with a
crime, either before or after its perpetration, but who is not present when
the crime is committed. (21 Am J2d Crim L § 115.)
Title 18 U.S.C. § 3. An accessory
before
the fact is a person who contributes to a felony committed by another, but is
too far away to aid in the felonious act. In some jurisdictions the accessory
before the fact is also charged with the crime of those committing the actual
act. An accessory after the fact is a person who knows a felony has
been committed and who comforts or assists the felon in any manner to avoid
prosecution. (21 Am J2d Crim L § 126.)
An attorney in the Justice Department, a judge, a member of
Congress, someone in the print or broadcast media, who knows of a crime and
has the duty to expose it, but doesn't, would be guilty of this criminal
offense. As will be seen, the list of groups and individuals guilty of this
crime is endless.
Accomplice
An accomplice is a person who knowingly, voluntarily, and with a
common interest with others participates in the commission of a crime as a
principal, as an accessory, or aider and abettor. That would include a
government official who refuses to perform a duty to prosecute someone guilty
of a federal crime.
Aiding And Abetting
Any person who “commits an offense against the United States
or aids, abets, counsels, commands, induces or procures its commission, is
punishable as a principal.” Any person who joins any conspiracy, even if
they are unaware of the actual act committed by others, or why, become equally
liable with the others. Title 18 U.S.C. § 3. This is another crime that has
been and is being perpetrated by officials in all levels of government.
Anarchy
A state of society where there is no law ... A state of
society without ... law. Political and social disorder. [Particularly
applicable to the pattern of hard-core documented
violations of law described in the books, Defrauding America, Drugging
America, and Unfriendly Skies, and as further show in
related
web pages.]
Conspiracy
Conspiracy is an agreement between two or more persons to
accomplish an unlawful act. Conspiracy is a separate offense over and above
whatever other acts the parties conspired to accomplish. The existence of a
conspiracy is usually determined from circumstantial evidence, looked
at collectively. This is usually the only means of determining a conspiracy,and
is generally established by a number of indefinite acts, each of which,
standing alone, might have little weight. But taken collectively, they point
unerringly to the existence of a conspiracy.
The existence of a conspiracy may be proven by inference from conduct,
statements, documents, and facts and circumstances which disclose a common
design on the part of the accused persons and others to
act together in pursuance of a common criminal purpose.
This offense is rampant throughout these pages. It is a
common tactic to ridicule anyone claiming a conspiracy
exists, even though conspiracies are possibly the most
common offense committed, being simply an agreement
between two or more people to commit some act.
Corruption
The term corruption covers a multitude of official wrongdoings,
and especially anything that adversely affects the administration of justice;
or subverts the instrumentalities of government; or impedes justice and the
administration of justice. (United States v Polakoff, 121 F2d 333.)
Corruption applies to many of those involved in the activities
described earlier and those activities yet to be described.
False Statements To Government Agency
Making false statements to or within a government agency is a
felony under several government statutes. (Title 18 U.S.C. §§ 35, 1001,
2071.) It is a crime under section 1001 to make a false statement in a
“matter within the jurisdiction of a department or agency of the United
States.” Under the Federal Aviation Act it is also a crime to make a false
statement, verbally or in writing, to a federal air safety inspector. This
offense was repeatedly perpetrated by United Airlines management, and
management within the FAA and NTSB.
Fraud
Fraud is deceit, deception, or trickery operating prejudicially
to the rights of another, and so intended by inducing him to surrender some
legal right. It is anything calculated to deceive another to that person's
prejudice. It is an act, a word, silence, the suppression of the truth, or any
other device contrary to the plain rules of common honesty. (23 Am J2d Fraud
§ 2.)
Misprision
Of A Felony
Misprision of a felony is a criminal offense and arises from
failure to inform a federal court or other federal authority of a federal
offense that has been witnessed or that has come to the person's knowledge. It
is also the failure to prevent a felony from being committed. (21 Am J2d Crim
L § 7.) It is also the failure to disclose a felony coupled with some
positive act of concealment, such as suppression of evidence, harboring of
criminal, intimidation of witnesses, or other positive act designed to conceal
from the authorities the fact that a crime has been committed. (Title 18
U.S.C. The statute addressing failure to report a federal offense is Title 18
U.S.C. § 4. This criminal offense was repeatedly perpetrated by federal
judges and Justice Department attorneys who had an even greater duty to report
and receive reports of federal offenses.
Obstruction Of Justice
Obstruction of justice is the criminal offense of knowing of a
crime and interfering with the administration and due course of justice. This
statute was repeatedly violated by corrupt federal judges and Justice
Department attorneys.
Mail And Wire Fraud
Under Title 18 U.S.C. § 1341 and 1343, mail and wire fraud is
any scheme to harm another by false or fraudulent pretenses, dishonest
methods, tricks, deceit, chicane, overreaching, or other wrongful acts, using
the mail or wire.
Malfeasance
Malfeasance is the doing of an act which is positively unlawful
or wrong, and which causes injury to another's person or property. It is the
performance by a public official of an act in an official capacity that is
wholly illegal and wrongful.
Martyr
A person who endures great suffering on behalf of any belief, principle, or
cause: a martyr to exposing corruption in government; a person who undergoes
severe or constant suffering; to torment or torture. [Would be applicable to
the many insiders who suffered so greatly for trying to correct the corruption
in the three branches of the U.S. government that continues to inflict such
great harm upon men and women in the United States, and throughout the world.]
Misfeasance
Misfeasance is the improper doing of an act which a person can
lawfully do, but done in an unlawful and injurious exercise of lawful
authority. This would include a federal judge or Justice Department official
who prosecutes informants in retaliation for reporting federal crimes.
Nonfeasance
Nonfeasance is the failure to act where duty requires, such as
when a public officer neglects or refuses, without sufficient excuse, to do
that which it is the officer's legal duty to do, whether willfully or through
malice or ignorance.
Perjury
Perjury is making false statements under oath. Anyone who
subscribes or signs any material matter which he does not believe to be true
is guilty of perjury.
Traitorous
A person who has betrayed his country. A person who has committed treason.
Treason
Treason is that act committed by a citizen who gives aid and
comfort to the enemy; who betrays a trust or a confidence; who commits a
breach of faith; who betrays his or her country. Within these pages this
offense will arguably apply to various CIA activities yet to be described and
to others.
Vicarious Liability
Vicarious civil or criminal liability exists when a person
performs a wrongful act, or refuses to perform a duty, such as an employer or
management. Where an employee is the proximate cause of the harm, his or her
superior is liable on the theory of vicarious liability.
Where an employer, or the government, exercises control over an
employee, that employer or government agency has vicarious liability. Where an
employer gives a federal employee substantial or complete control over certain
acts, an agency relationship exists. As it relates to federal judges, for
instance, the federal government pays the salaries of the judges, provides the
courts, provides instructions for administrative duties. The same principle
applies to Justice Department attorneys and other government checks and
balances.
Federal Sentencing Guidelines
A minimum prescribed prison term for a particular offense. A
longer prison term is prescribed for government officials who betray their
trust as they commit offenses under civil rights and criminal statutes.
Federal
Statutes
Title 18 U.S.C. § 2 provides that any one
becomes a principal to a criminal act who in any way aids or covers up for an
offense. This could include federal judges, Justice Department attorneys,
members of Congress, and the media.
Title 18 U.S.C. § 3. Accessory after the fact.
It is a felony for any person, who knows that an offense against the United
States has been committed, to obstruct justice by assisting the perpetrators
through blocking the reporting of the crimes by an informant or victim. This
felony would include federal judges and Justice Department attorneys, members
of Congress, media personnel, who knew about the criminal activities described
within these pages and either refused to make the crimes known, or worse, who
engaged in a cover-up.
Title 18 U.S.C. § 4 (misprision of felony).
It becomes a felony if any person who knows of a federal crime does not
promptly report it to a federal judge or other federal officer.
Title 18 U.S.C. § 34 Penalty when death results.
If death results from violation of a related criminal statute, it becomes a
capitol offense. This would apply, for instance, to the criminal violations at
United Airlines and within the FAA and NTSB that resulted or made possible
airline crashes.
Title 18 U.S.C. § 35. Imparting or conveying false information.
This offense was and is rampant in the air safety proceedings, in
Congressional investigations, and is shown throughout these pages.
Title 18 U.S.C. § 111. Impeding certain officers or employees.
It is a felony to resist, impede, intimidate, or interfere with any person
designated in section 1114 of this title. This would include the United
Airlines management, and federal management in the FAA, NTSB, Justice
Department, and federal judges, who blocked me and other federal inspectors
from reporting and correcting serious crash-related air safety and criminal
violations, and later, other federal crimes that I tried to report.
Title 18 U.S.C. § 153. Embezzlement by trustee or officer.
This felony is rampant in federal Chapter 11, 12, 13 courts, with the
knowledge of federal judges, Justice Department officials, and many others.
Title 18 U.S.C. § 241. Conspiracy against rights of citizens.
This felony applies to anyone, including judges and Justice Department
attorneys, who intimidate, threaten, or inflict harm upon any person in
retaliation for exercising federal defenses against acts taken to silence him
or block him from defending himself.
Title 18 U.S.C. § 371 Conspiracy to commit offense or to
defraud United States.
There are many ways to commit an offense against, or to defraud the United
States. As a matter of law, the word “defraud” is broadly used to include
obstructing the lawful operation of any government agency by any “deceit,
craft or trickery, or at least by means that are dishonest.”
To convict someone, including a federal official, under Title 18 U.S.C. §
371, it is only necessary to show that the person (1) entered into an
agreement (2) to obstruct a lawful function of the government (3) by deceitful
or dishonest means and (4) had committed at least one overt act in furtherance
of the conspiracy. Obstructing the lawful
safety functions of the FAA and the NTSB, for instance, would constitute a
felony under this statute. Obstructing the lawful functions of the federal
courts, or the Justice Department, would also cause violation of this statute.
Prosecuting a citizen seeking to report government corruption would be a
crime.
Title 18 U.S.C. § 1001. Statements or entries generally.
It is a federal crime for anyone within the jurisdiction of any department or
agency of the United States to knowingly and willfully falsify, conceal or
cover up by any trick or scheme a material fact or to make any false,
fictitious or fraudulent statement or representation. This criminal statute
would apply to the false statements made in air safety records by United
Airlines management; to the false statements made by the FAA hearing officer
and legal counsel in the FAA safety hearing; to the NTSB for omitting major
facts that resulted in a false conclusion; and many other instances yet to be
described.
Title 18 U.S.C. § 1341. Frauds and Swindles.
This statute relates to using the mail to defraud another person. The mail was
used to defraud the United States, and to defraud me, as will be seen.
Title 18 U.S.C. § 1343. Wire fraud.
This section applies to anyone who defrauds another while using the telephone
or other communications.
Title 28 U.S.C. § 1361. Action to compel an officer of the
United States to perform his duty. This statute permits any citizens to invoke
federal court jurisdiction to report government misconduct and to obtain a
court order compelling a government official to halt the wrongful acts or to
perform a lawful duty. A federal judge lacks jurisdiction to void, or to
punish a citizen, for exercising this right.
Title 18 U.S.C. § 1505. Obstruction of proceedings before
departments, agencies, and committees This criminal statute was
repeatedly violated by government personnel, primarily Justice Department
attorneys and federal judges, who obstructed justice by blocking the reporting
of federal crimes.
Title 18 U.S.C. § 1512. Tampering with a witness, victim, or an
informant.
It is a crime to interfere or retaliated against a person seeking to report a
crime. This would apply especially to Justice Department employees or judges.
Title 18 U.S.C. § 1513. Retaliating against a witness, victim,
or an informant.
This criminal statute applies to anyone, including judges and Justice
Department officials, who retaliate against anyone for reporting federal
crimes. It would apply to FAA officials who retaliated against me, and the
harm yet to be described, which retaliated against me for reporting the
government corruption.
Title 18 U.S.C. § 1515 (a)(3)(A). Misleading conduct means
knowingly making false statements. This criminal statute was
violated by government personnel in the criminal activities described
throughout these pages, starting with the air disaster-related misconduct.
Title 18 U.S.C. § 1515 (a)(3)(B); Intentionally omitting
information from a statement and thereby causing a portion of such statement
to be misleading, or intentionally concealing a material fact.
This criminal statute was repeatedly violated in the aviation and other
scandals.
Title 18 U.S.C. § 1515 (a)(3)(C). With intent to mislead,
knowingly submitting or inviting reliance on a writing that is false or
otherwise lacking in authenticity.
Same as other section 1515 violations. Title 18 U.S.C. § 1515 (a)(3)(D). With
intent to mislead, knowingly submitting...material that is misleading in a
material aspect.
Title 18 U.S.C. § 1515 (a)(3)(E). Knowingly using a trick or
scheme to mislead. Misleading statements made by government personnel
throughout these pages were violations of this statute.
Title 18 U.S.C. §§ 1621. Perjury generally.
Title 18 U.S.C. § 1622. Subornation of perjury.
This felony was repeatedly perpetrated by FAA management during the FAA Denver
hearing.
Title 18 U.S.C. § 1623. False declarations before grand jury or
court.
Title 18 U.S.C. § 2071. Concealment, removal, or mutilation
generally.
This criminal statute was violated by the FAA and NTSB in covering up for
behind the scene facts in several air disasters described in detail in Unfriendly
Skies.
Title 18 U.S.C. § 2075. Officer failing to make reports; felony
omission of a duty to act.
Fraud arising in misleading government reports. It is a federal
offense to prepare a report that omits material information that as a result
of the omission results in a different inference. Those especially guilty of
this offense would be officials within the FAA, NTSB, Justice Department, and
members of Congress. This offense is described in many federal decisions,
including Branch v. Tunnel, 937 F.2d 1382 (9th Cir. 1991) and Olson
v. Tyler, 771 F.2d 277, 281 (7th Cir. 1985). In these cases the courts
held that deception exists when material omission in a writing exists, wherein
less than the total story is described, and where a different inference is
drawn.
