Start of Legal Attacks by Hoard of Judges and Lawyers Starting in 1982 and continuing without letup to 2006, over fifty lawyers and law firms, and over 50 federal judges, among others, were involved in parallel schemes seeking to halt the efforts to expose the criminal activities that former federal agent Rodney Stich and his group of other insiders sought to report and make known to the American people. This page is one of over 1,000 at this site. They all related to overt and covert acts that constitute crimes against the United States and responsible for many different forms of personal and financial harm to the people, as well as making possible several of the most catastrophic events against the United States. The initial tactics involved the filing of a sham lawsuit against Stich by the CIA-front law firm of Friedman, Sloan and Ross in San Francisco. The claims made by their lawyers was a sham, factually and legally, and used so that an order could be promptly filed that separated Stich from the assets that funded his exposure actions. That lawsuit was barred by over a dozen California statutes, numerous California Supreme Court decisions, and barred by federal statutes, U.S. Supreme Court decisions, and constitutional protections. To succeed, the CIA-front law firm needed the corrupt participation of California judges, and eventually, the participation of federal judges when the massive violations of federally protected rights were brought to federal court under several federal statutes providing for mandatory jurisdiction mover the matters. Sampling of the judicial tactics used to block the reporting and exposure of the tragedy-related corruption implicating people in key government positions Complicity of California Judges In the Tragedy Related Schemes The sham lawsuit filed by the CIA-front law firm and lawyers could not have proceeded without repeated violations of dozens of state and federal laws. The role of these California judges made them complicit not only in the corrupt misuse of their judicial positions, but in the deaths and other events that were made possible by the block to exposing the federal crimes. Under federal case law, the California judges and California courts met the definition of a racketeering enterprise. Laws violated by California judges acting in unison with CIA-front law firm and their lawyers. Complicity of Federal Judges Prior to the start of the sham action by the CIA-front law firm and lawyers, federal judges and Justice Department prosecutors had in three instances blocked the reporting of the criminal activities that Stich sought to report sunder the federal crime reporting statute. After Stich exercised federal remedies seeking a halt to the massive violations of personal and property rights arising from the combination sham filing and the massiv4e violations of law by California judges, Stich filed federal actions that required federal judges to provide a federal court forum and relief. Never before has any action been filed in federal court where so many basic and major civil and constitutional rights were violated. As if the source of the sham action arose from inside the federal judiciary or the Department of Justice, federal judges and Justice Department prosecutors joined the complicity by violating the several federal remedies intended to halt the civil and constitutional violations that were involved. Dozens of federal judges were involved in schemes that had tragic and deadly consequences. Laws Repeatedly Violated by California and Federal Judges Sampling of the many laws that were violated by lawyers, law firms, California judges, and federal judges, during the many years of blocking the reporting of the corrupt and criminal activities. Sampling of the laws violated by California judges at every level as they supported the scheme by the CIA-front law firm and lawyers. Sampling of the laws violated by federal judges at every level as they joined in the multiple schemes to silence the former federal agent. Sampling of criminal obstruction of justice statutes that were repeatedly violated by lawyers and judges in the multiple and parallel schemes to silence the former federal agent. Sampling of criminal statutes violated by federal judges as they retaliated and inflicted great harm upon Stich for attempting to report the federal crimes. Other criminal statutes involved. Sampling of criminal activities covered up by federal judges and DOJ lawyers, assisted by lawyers, law firms, and California judges. Obstructing Justice Tactics Tactics used to block the continuing exposure of high level corruption that were felonies under the obstruction of justice statutes. Criminal Contempt of Law Charges In addition to the cover-ups by members of Congress, Justice Department personnel and others, and blocking the federal actions seeking to report the corrupt and criminal activities. federal judges and Justice Department prosecutors that had been blocking the reports then charged the former federal agent with criminal contempt of court after Stich filed a federal lawsuit at Sacramento seeking to report the (a) criminal activities related to a series of airline disasters; (b) criminal activities involved in drug smuggling directly involving people associated with the CIA; and (c) for exercising federal defenses to halt the great and irreparable harm resulting from the actions of the CIA-front law firm and California judges. Justice Department personnel and federal judges directly involved in that tactic included: U.S. Attorney David Levi, who was promoted to federal judge at Sacramento after the former federal agent was sent to prison. Magistrate John Moulds, who was promoted to federal judge at Sacramento after Stich's incarceration. U.S. District Judge Raul Ramirez, who played a major role in protecting the CIA-front law firm, in protecting the scheme, and in obstruction of justice. Ramirez is now a lawyer in Sacramento, where he makes more money as a lawyer than as a federal judge. U.S. District Judge Milton Schwartz, who first expressed concern about the charges made by Stich, and then a week later, totally reversed himself, dismissing the attempt to report the federal crimes. Schwartz died some time later. All the judges in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court. Description of criminal contempt of court in retaliation for attempting to report major and deadly criminal activities. Years of Complicity By Supreme Court Justices Partial list of papers submitted to the Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court, that made the Justices aware of: The federal criminal activities that former federal agent Rodney Stich sought to report to a federal judge under the federal crime reporting statute. The Justices knew that the federal judges, over whom they had supervisory responsibilities, were criminally blocking the reports. Further, the Justices had similar responsibilities to receive the information of criminal activities, which were presented to them by Rodney Stich. In the period from about 1979 to about 1984, petitions were filed by the U.S. Supreme Court in the lawsuits filed by Stich against the FAA and the NTSB. These petitions made serious charges associated with specific airline disasters and deaths, and the felony obstruction of justice by federal judges and Justice Department officials. Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court knew of the f4elony retaliation against the former federal agent for exercising the responsibilities to report major federal crimes. Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court knew of the unlawful and unconstitutional orders by federal judges barring the former federal agent, for the remainder of his life, from filing any papers in any federal district or appellant court. The justices knew that the orders obstructed justice by blocking his reports of the criminal activities, and voided for him the legal and constitutional defenses necessary to defend against the repeated major civil and constitutional violations by California and federal judges. The Justices knew of the repeated and massive violations of civil and criminal laws and constitutional protections by federal judges. The felony retaliation against the former federal agent for exercising the responsibility to report major federal crimes associated with great harm and many deaths. The felony retaliation against the former federal agent for exercising civil and constitutional defenses against repeated and massive violations of state and federal legal and constitutional rights and protections.

Partial list of papers submitted to the U.S. Supreme Court. Lawsuit Naming Supreme Court Justices As Defendants Unprecedented, but justified on the basis of the documented facts, Stich filed a lawsuit against the Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court. He knew the court system was so corrupt that he could never prevail. However, the intent was to make a judicial record of the involvement of Supreme Court Justices, their response to the lawsuit, and the possibility that media people would give publicity to the lawsuit and in turn publicity to the corrupt and criminal activities Stich sought to expose. The Justices responded, acknowledging they knew of Stich's charges, that they took no action, and that they were totally immune from lawsuits for their conduct. Last Attempt Prior to 9/11 to Halt Corruption Enabling the Hijackings to Occur Despite the probability of being again blocked by federal judges and Justice Department prosecutors, and partly due to the additional information from his inside sources about corruption affecting the lives of many people and adversely affecting national security, Stich tried one last time to report what he and his group of other government agents and insiders had discovered. The lawsuit had multiple federal causes of action, any single one requiring federal judge to receive the information and allow the legal proceedings to go forward. Among the causes of action were: The attempt to report the criminal activities in the FAA that were still enabling to occur easily preventable airline disasters. Criminal activities in the FBI and the CIA, which were affecting national security. The attempt to regain his civil and constitutional rights that were taken by the multiple orders barring him from filing any papers in many federal district or appellate court. A return of the $10 million in assets that were unlawfully and unconstitutionally seized and liquidated, completing the action first started by the CIA-front law firm of Friedman, Sloan and Ross and their lawyers. U.S. District Judge Reed: Blocked the reporting of the federal crimes. Blocked Stich's efforts to obtain testimony from the defendants, thereby protecting their involvement in the major crimes. Before the Reno judge dismissed the action, blocking Stich from reporting the criminal activities, blocking the exercise of federal defenses, and protecting the defendants, four groups of terrorists hijack four airliners and killed nearly 3,000 people. The hijackings were enabled to occur by the corrupt actions of management in the FAA that blocked from being implemented the known measures to prevent aircraft from being hijacked. Stich then filed a declaration with the court (January 21, 2002) that further showed the relationship between the wrongful conduct stated in the lawsuit and the hijackings of the four airliners. (MS Word) (Adobe PDF) Despite this, U.S. District Judge Reed dismissed the lawsuit before it could proceed Post 9/11 Lawsuit Showing Links to The Corruption and Cover-Up Tactics The 3,000 deaths that were so easily preventable, and the signs of cover-ups by members of Congress and the 9/11 Commission, caused Stich to again file a federal action under the federal crime reporting statute, attempting once again to report the evidence of criminal activities that enabled terrorists to hijack the four airliners on September 11, 2001. Again, federal judges blocked the action. The judge who died, Michael Mukasey, would receive the usual reward for being on "the team," cooperating with those in control of the system. After Mukasey retired, President George W. Bush appointed him to the top law enforcement position. United States Attorney General. Mukasey blocked the lawsuit from being filed, despite the mandatory requirement to file complaints when they are received. It wasn't until 13 months later, after Stich wrote letters to each of the Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court, informing them of the latest obstruction of justice by judges over whom they had supervisory responsibilities that the lawsuit was filed. Then, and with apparent approval by the Supreme Court Justices, Mukasey issued an order within minutes of the filing that dismissed the lawsuit. That dismissal violated his mandatory requirement under the federal crime reporting statute to receive the information of federal crimes, and violated dozens of statutes, rules of court, and constitutional protection barring such dismissal without a hearing. The facts in the matter showed that the future attorney general of the United States was guilty of obstruction of justice and other criminal acts. Complicity by District of Columbia Judges By this time, it was obviously clear that despite the 3,000 deaths, federal judges were not going to allow these matters to see the light of day, especially with the involvement of probably over 100 federal judges during the past 30 years and the involvement of so many deaths that they made possible. However, to make a record, showing the complicity of federal judges in the powerful District of Columbia federal courts, Stich submitted a lawsuit for filing, similar to what he filed in the New York courts. The federal courts refused to file the papers, stating that a prior order by U.S. District Judge Stanley Sporkin forever barred Stich from filing any papers in any federal courts. Sporkin was the former CIA legal counsel during the numerous corrupt activities of CIA personnel during the 1980s, including the massive drug smuggling. Continuing Legal Attacks Using Possible Wife Murderer as Straw Man In 2001, after stripping the former federal agent of all his assets, and finding that Stich continued to make known to the public the ongoing criminal activities, sham legal actions were again taken to seize the books, Defrauding America, Drugging America, and Unfriendly Skies. Over 50 lawyers and law firms, and the usual California and federal judge involvement, protected the South Carolina law firm that had connections to the CIA. That legal scheme used a possible wife murderer as the straw man to file the sham action. The action was filed in a remote South Carolina court known for its judicial corruption, and far enough away to where Stich would not have the funds to prepare a defense, even though the defense would have been meaningless of light of the culture of corruption in the legal fraternity, especially in small town courts. That action was filed shortly after Stich made a final attempt to report the corruption that would shortly be responsible for the conditions enabling four groups of terrorists to hijack four airliners on September 11, 2001.

National Tragedies Made Possible By Lawyers and Judges as Enablers All forms of human tragedies have been inflicted upon the people of the United States from the corruption discovered by the people behind this site−and made possible by enablers in and out of government. The below pictures are only a sampling of the consequences from the documented corruption that are able to be portrayed graphically. The tragedies in other areas resulting from the corruption, cover-ups, and public indifference, are not shown here. United Airlines crash into New York City, the world's worst at that time. Withheld from the American public were the reports by federal safety inspectors-investigators showing a continuing pattern of corruption, fraud, criminal alteration of major government required records−and the standard abuse of those few inspectors attempting to require the airline management to comply with industry standards and clear requirements of federal aviation safety requirements−and FAA management to require compliance. None of the guilty, the enablers, to these and the continuing fraud-related crashes ever were held accountable for the hundreds of deaths that they enabled to occur.
