Justices Repeatedly Blocked Reports of High-Level Corruption Since 1978, former federal agent Rodney Stich, seeking to circumvent the standard cover-ups in government, sought to report to Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court the criminal activities that he initially discovered as a key federal aviation safety inspector-investigator, but also criminal activities in other areas of government operations that he later learned from the many other government agents and insiders who provided him with detailed information and evidence. In addition, Stich reported, and sought relief, from the series of unlawful and unconstitutional retaliatory actions taken against him that were parallel efforts to halt his exposure of criminal activities that were inflicting great harm upon major national matters, including national security, and in the aviation environment, resulting in numerous preventable deaths. Those letters, and their documentary support, charge federal judges with a series of major felonies that include blocking reports by government insiders of crimes against the United States associated with the events of 9/11, felony retaliation against a former government agent seeking to report the crimes, obstruction of justice, all of which played major roles in causing or allowing the conditions to exist that led to the immediate murders of 3,000 people and catastrophic peripheral consequences. If the Justices had acted as morally and legally required, starting in the late 1970s, many of America's great tragedies would not have happened, and the culture in government would be entirely different. Supreme Court Justices Approved Federal Judges Sending A Citizen to Prison for Reporting High-Level Corruption Among the letters and appeal briefs (Petitions) received by the Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court were those in which former federal agent Rodney Stich sought relief from the prison sentence based on his exercising the mandatory requirements of the federal crime reporting statute to report major criminal acts that he initially discovered during his official duties, that were at that time resulting in a continuing series of fatal airline disasters and other harm to national security. He was also exercisng the responsibilities of a citizen to report the criminal activities that were crimes against the United States and its people. The Justices repeatedly refused to provide any relief despite such facts as: The prosecution acted to protect the criminal acts of high-level personnel in government that were associated with an ongoing series of tragic consequences. The judicial sentence aided and abetted the corrupt prosecution. The sentence constituted major violations of the most basic and most important constitutional rights. The federal crimes that Stich was reporting, and for which he suffered retaliation by Department of Justice prosecutors and federal judges had already resulted in a series of fatal airline disasters—and would continue to do so. The prosecution and sentencing were crimes under criminal statutes when a former federal agent, or a witness to a federal crime, suffers harm for attempting to report a crime. Letters and Filings Sent to the U.S. Supreme Court Justices, 1970 to 2005, Making Them Aware of Major Corruption In Federal Offices and Resulting Catastrophic Consequences The year 2005: Letter to Supreme Court clerk (March 7, 2005) referring to the latest block by the Supreme Court Justices to the filing of an appeal (petition for writ of certiorari) related to the block by federal judges in New York to the action Stich filed seeking to report the corruption in the government's aviation safety officers that created the conditions enabling terrorists to hijack four airliners on 9/11. (MS Word) (Adobe PDF) Letter to Supreme Court Justice William Rehnquist (January 24, 2005), making him aware of the latest obstruction of justice by federal judges and the consequences of such crimes. (MS Word) (Adobe PDF) The year 2004: Letter to Justice Rehnquist, January 30, 2004 (with copies to every other Justice), describing the actions by judges in the Second Circuit district and appellate courts at New York City blocking the reporting of criminal activities, some of which constituted the primary blame for the conditions enabling hijackers to seize four airliners on September 11, 2001. The documented obstruction of justice was closely interwoven with major violations of federal due process requirements. (MS Word) (Adobe PDF) The year 2003: Letter to Rehnquist October 21, 2003. (The same letter was sent to Justice Thomas and Souter.) This letter was an extensive description of the criminal activities, the felony cover-ups by federal judges, and the sham legal actions that violated large numbers of federally protected rights for which federal remedies existed, which were denied to me by federal judges. The significance of the sham lawsuits was dual efforts to halt Stich's exposure activities by stripping him of the $10 million in assets that funded his exposure activities. Note: Every letter sent to Chief Justice William Rehnquist had copies sent to each of the other Justices. (Word) (Adobe) Letter to Chief Justice Rehnquist, February 6, 2003.

(Word) (Adobe) Petition to U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas dated May 3, 2002. The primary issues in the petition were the massive civil and constitutional violations being inflicted upon Stich by a CIA-front law firm and the aiding and abetting by federal judges. The petition included details of how federal judges were blocking the reporting of criminal activities, and listed some of the criminal activities for which Stich and his group of other former government agents had discovered and sought to report. Justice Thomas refused to provide any relief, thereby aiding and abetting the criminal activities, some of which played key roles enabling the events of September 11, 2001, thereby insuring a continuation of the years of déjà vu tragedies. (MS Word) (Adobe PDF) Letters to all of the Supreme Court Justices, January 2, 2001, sent to each of the Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court referring to documented pattern of corruption by federal judges in the West Coast's Ninth Circuit, which included a 20 year pattern of repeatedly blocking the reporting of criminal activities, judicial retaliation for attempting to make such reports that were required to be made under the federal crime reporting statute, and the involvement of numerous federal judges in a scheme to take Stich's $10 million in assets that funded his public-spirited exposure of criminal activities. Petition sent to Chief Justice Rehnquist, January 2, 2002. (MS Word) (Adobe PDF) The year 2001: Letters sent to Chief Justice Rehnquist and each of the Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States (April 11, 2001). Word) (Adobe) Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, Petition for emergency relief, March 3, 2001. The purpose of this petition was to obtain relief from the civil and constitutional violations being inflicted upon Stich in efforts to block his exposure of criminal activities, paralleling the judicial block to such reports. The petition also reported the criminal activities that Stich sought to report under the federal crime reporting statute (Title 18 U.S.C. § 4). Some of the criminal activities that Stich sought to report were primarily responsible for the success of the September 11, 2001, terrorist hijackings. If Thomas--or any of the others who knew of these crimes--had responded to these charges, it is probable that the hijackers could not have succeeded in their plans that had such massive immediate and subsequent catastrophic consequences. Letter to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas (February 15, 2001), describing the corruption in the lower federal courts, their obstruction of justice tactics, their felony retaliation against the former federal agent seeking to report criminal activities under the federal crime reporting statute. This letter was a follow-up to an emergency petition submitted to Justice Thomas. No response. (Word) Petition for emergency relief February 8, 2001 to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Letter to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, February 5, 2001. (MS Word) (Adobe PDF) Petition for emergency writ to Supreme Court Justice Sandra O'Connor, submitted on January 5, 2001, under the authority of Supreme Court Rule 12 and Rule 22 providing for application to an individual Justice, and Title 28 U.S.C. § 1651. Even if relief was denied, a response is required under Supreme Court Rule 22.6, which says: "The Clerk will advise all parties concerned, by appropriately speedy means, of the disposition made of an application." Following their standard practice, the submission was never acknowledged. To have done so would have made a record of the fact that the Justices were made aware of the very serious charges and did nothing about them. No response. January 5, 2001. (MS Word) (Adobe PDF) Supreme Court Justice William Rehnquist, January 2, 2001. The letter described documented misconduct by federal judges, including their blocking of reports of criminal activities, retaliating against the former federal agent for seeking to report the criminal activities, and the civil rights violations that were part of the scheme initiated by a CIA related law firm in San Francisco (Friedman, Sloan and Ross) to block Stich's reporting of the criminal activities Stich discovered within the FAA and other government offices. No response. (MS Word) (Adobe PDF) Letter to Justice Souter, January 2, 2001. (MS Word) (Adobe PDF) Certified letter sent to Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy on Jan. 2, 2001. That letter was very significant. It explained the criminal, subversive, and treasonous activities that former federal agent Rodney Stich and his group of other former government agents had discovered. Kennedy did nothing to ask for information, which, although having felony complications, Kennedy already knew of the criminal activities and played a key role in seeking to cover up for them by assisting in bringing about the incarceration of Stich to silence him. Then, on May 30, 2006, Kennedy wrote the Supreme Court decision that held it was proper for government management—who might be involved in corrupt activities—to retaliate against a government agent who, as part of his official duties—reported the misconduct and then suffered retaliation at the hands of management who might be implicated in the misconduct.

Letter to U.S. District Judge Milton Schwartz, June 19, 1998, making reference to his role in blocking the reports of criminal activities and his role in the scheme initiated by the CIA-front law firm. (Word) The year 1997: Letter to the clerk of the U.S. Supreme Court, clerk, William K. Sutter, (August 23, 1997) making reference to his role in fraudulently refusing to file a petition for writ of certiorari which would have made a judicial record of certain major segments of the judicial and other corruption which Stich and his group of government agents had discovered, including the pattern of CIA drug trafficking into the United States, the Justice Department retaliation against Stich and his coalition for seeking to report these criminal acts, and the role of federal judges in these actions. August 1997 petition to the United States Supreme Court reported the corruption relating to a series of prior airline crashes and the judicial and Justice Department actions to block these reports, was submitted to the Court in August 1997. (Word) (html) 1997 Petition for Writ of Certiorari to U.S. Supreme Court, which would have exposed a broad pattern of criminal and subversive activities as defined in Stich's books, the third editions of Unfriendly Skies and Defrauding America, and Drugging America. This filing would have made a Supreme Court record of these matters, and required the Justices to engage in a documented cover-ups of the grave charges. This petition was submitted on August 15, 1997. (MS Word) (Adobe PDF) It was improperly refused filing, apparently to avoid making a record of the corrupt activities by federal judges over whom the Justices of the Supreme Court have supervisory responsibilities. This tactic repeated the prior pattern, which would be duplicated in the future, of Supreme Court judges blocking the reports of criminal activities and misusing the federal courts as a racketeering tool through judicially perpetrated civil rights violations while concurrently voiding legal and constitutional defenses. Organized crime never had it so good! The year 1995: Letter to Ginsberg, January 16, 1995. (MS Word) (Adobe PDF) The Year 1994: Petition to Supreme Court for emergency relief, return of civil rights permanently terminated by series of unlawful and unconstitutional injunctive orders barring Stich from filing any papers in any federal court. (August 15, 1994) The effect--and surely the intent--was to block Stich from filing papers under the federal crime reporting statute to report criminal activities in government offices to a federal judge. The other probably intent was to block Stich from exercising the multiple federal defenses against the massive numbers of repeated violations of state and federal laws and constitutional protections. (MS Word) (Adobe PDF) The Year 1992: Several years later, U.S. district court judges Marilyn Petal and Walker (San Francisco), again charged Stich with criminal contempt of court, resulting in his arrest and then house arrest for five years, for filing papers in out-of-state federal courts seeking to report criminal activities and exercising federal defenses against the massive violations of federally protected rights that were parallel efforts to halt his exposure activities.

The Year 1989 To silence the former federal agent, Department of Justice prosecutor in Sacramento, David Levi, and several Sacramento federal judges, Milton Schwartz, John Moulds, and others charged him with criminal contempt of court for having filed papers in federal court seeking to report the corruption in key government offices that he and his coalition of former intelligence, law enforcement, and aviation safety personnel had discovered. The attempt to report and halt the tragedy-related corruption was under the mandatory requirements of the federal crime reporting statute and the right and responsibility of anyone that knows of a federal crime to report it to a federal judge or other federal official. Stich was denied the constitutional right to a jury trial and tried, convicted and sentenced the federal judges and Department of Justice personnel who were themselves among those charged with crimes against the United States. Just prior to the age of 70, and recovering from quadruple open heart surgery, he was sent to federal prison for six months under the harshest and most demeaning of possibility, and confined to solitary confinement for eight weeks. The attorney to which he had paid $30,000 to represent him then sabotaged him, something that occurred several times, and was a standard practice as attorneys seek to maintain a good relationship with Department of Justice lawyers and federal judges. Appeal brief dated April 1, 1989, of the decision by U.S. Magistrate John Moulds and U.S. District Judge Raul Ramirez, Sacramento. Stich, 67 years old, recovering from recent open-heart surgery, was scheduled to go to prison for six months in retaliation for having filed papers in federal court—under the authority of the federal crimes reporting statute—seeking to report various forms of criminal activities that he discovered, starting with the airline-crash-related criminal activities that he discovered as a key federal aviation safety agent. (Appeal brief) First Legal Filings Submitted On Aviation Disaster-Related Corruption: 1970s Lawsuit against the Federal Aviation Administration and another against the National Transportation Safety Board attempting to report the ongoing corrupt activities related to several specific aviation disasters, which went all the way to the Supreme Court, where it was filed. Despite the gravity of the issues, the Justices refused to hear the case. 50 Years of Corruption-Enabled Events That Motivated The Former Government Agent, Whistleblower, and Activist to Continue His Futile David vs. Goliath Efforts 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.
