The Fantasies of Memorial Day Memorial day, May 25,2009, caused this former Navy Patrol Plane Commander to consider a few of the many examples of how the accolades coming from the self-serving politicians on Memorial Day hide the actual state of affairs as to how veteran are really treated. This site gives a few examples, and in one area shows the links between the great harm inflicted upon one highly decorated Lt. Colonel had links to some of America's most recent catastrophic events. Watching on television the prior day's National Memorial Day Concert in the nation's capitol, this writer had the following thoughts and flashbacks: Repeated images of American soldiers that were wounded in the Iraq War, many of whom were in a vegetative state and would, for the remainder of their long life remain in a miserable state, and an enormous burden to those who have to care for them. The lies by the politicians that sent them off to an unlawful and unwinnable war, and the many shills that enabled them to pull off the scam upon the American people. They were responsible for the deaths, injuries, and lifelong invalid or worse stage of the victimized soldiers. All of whom suffered because of the lies that brought about their tragic plight and end of life. The mothers who grieved for the loss of their sons, or whose sons came back to them in a vegetative state, and wondered if they voted for the politicians whose lies were responsible for the loss of their sons, or if they were in support of the war that killed over one million Iraqis. The endless series of noble-sounding statements about how those who were sent to war on lies were defending the United States, and freedom--statements that only the most illiterate could accept as reality. The presence and the speech by General Colin Powell, secretary of state under President George Bush, who praised the soldiers that died, saying they suffered in the cause of freedom or democracy. It was Powell, whose whose speech before the United Nations in February 2003, that was riddled with lies, played a major role in the nearly 5,000 deaths and 40,000 injured that he was now praising! Powell, surely with tongue in check, praised the fallen for their sacrifices in defense of the United States, when his litany of lies brought the soldiers that he was praising for the pathetic plight that would be theirs for the remainder of their life. The victims he was praising were victims of his own lies and those of President George Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and their shills in and out of government. Disposable War Heroes And then there is the subject of disposal war heroes, who once the good-sounding statements made on Memorial Day have passed, were preyed about and suffered great harm. One such war hero is Richard Taus. He flew many near-suicide helicopter missions to rescue wounded soldiers surrounded by enemy fire, and received numerous medals for heroism. While in Vietnam, he was concerned about the CIA drug smuggling and the incapacitation of military personnel on drugs. He reported these crimes to members of Congress, who instead of investigating as their duties required, they continued their universal cover-ups that other government agents had encountered during the past 40 years. After Taus became an FBI agent in the FBI offices in New York City, and working directly under FBI supervisor Lindley DeVecchio, he discovered: Secret funding and arming of Iraq during the Reagan-Bush presidencies, which set the stage for the several U.S. attacks upon Iraq. Other corrupt activities of CIA-front companies. Criminal activities of various Mafia groups that his FBI supervisor repeatedly ordered him to cease investigating. (The crimes of his supervisor were far more serious.) Taus discovered what many other government agents had discovered. High-level management personnel blocked the legal functions of government departments by covering up and retaliating against any individual government employee who attempted to report such corrupt activities. Taus circumvented the cover-up in the U.S. Department of Justice and reported the matters to members of Congress, True to their culture, members of Congress covered up for high-level corruption, and then compounded their obstruction of justice cover-up by reporting Taus' complaints to the people in the FBI-DOJ that were guilty of the crimes. FBI and other Department of Justice personnel then filed false charges against Taus. With a thoroughly corrupt system, this highly decorated Lt. Colonel was sentenced to 50 years in the state prison, where he is now languishing at Dannemora, New York. The list of disposal heroes are endless. A list of a few who sought to expose the crimes against the United States by a literal Trojan hoses group can be seen by clicking here. A book is available about the exploits of this war hero, and how those in control of the system really treat the veterans after the self-serving praise by politicians on Memorial Day has passed. FBI, CIA, the Mob, and Treachery. Available at amazon.com. Links to Major National Tragedies As described in the book, Crimes of the FBI-DOJ, and the Mafia, and at different pages at the defraudingamerica.com Internet site, the imprisonment of that war hero had other consequences. For instance: Taus' supervisor was involved in a series of murders with the feared Mafia capo in New York City, Gregory Scarpa, Sr., also known as "The Killing Machine." Those crimes were known to high-level FBI-DOJ personnel, who covered up for them. The cover-ups were criminal acts under the federal obstruction of justice statutes, and perpetrated by people responsible for the nation's highest law enforcement agency. The felony obstruction of justice by high-level Justice Department employees had consequences that would have catastrophic consequences for the American people and the United States. The cover-up for the murders−and the cover-up of the murders−required that high-level FBI-DOJ personnel "deep-six" information about terrorist attacks planned by the al Qaeda group. The information was provided to FBI agents by a former Mafia soldier in the New York City area that had obtained the confidence of infamous Ramzi Yousef, the mastermind of the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center. That information−the most important information on al Qaeda plans that had ever been received by any government department−provided advance knowledge of the following terrorist attacks: The planned downing of a U.S. airliners departing from a local New York City airport. That information was given to local FBI agents in the New York City offices shortly before the downing of TWA Flight 800. The planned bombing of U.S. Embassies in Africa, which was then followed by two deadly bombing attacks on U.S. Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. The planned hijacking of U.S. airliners, which, of course, was followed by the hijackings of four airliners on September 11, 2001. Also, how bomb material could be arranged so that it would not be detected during preflight screening. The mole in the al Qaeda cell was a former Mafia soldier, and the son of the Mafia capo, Gregory Scarpa, Sr. The son was scheduled to testify concerning the series of murders that his father committed with the help of an FBI supervisor (the one under whom the highly decorated military officer Richard Taus was assigned). Department of Justice personnel intended to discredit the son's testimony so as to discredit his credibility, and the information about the murderous and felonious culture inside the FBI and other Department of Justice offices. These became compound criminal acts. This cover-up was also important since local media investigative reports and criminal trails revealed the years of murders perpetrated by FBI agents in the Boston offices with the approval and cover-up of high-level FBI-DOJ personnel. The exposure of a series of murders by FBI agents in the FBI Boston and New York City offices−and the years of cover-ups by high FBI-DOJ personnel, would be devastating to the careers of key Department of Justice personnel and the public discoverer of the deadly culture in the nation's top law enforcement department. A Few "Minor" Collateral Consequences Of These FBI-DOJ Crimes Covering up for information on the planned terrorist attacks upon major U.S. targets could be expected to have catastrophic consequences. And of course it did. If the public were to learn about these crimes cover-ups, and understand their significance and catastrophic consequences−key people in virtually every government and non-government check and balance could face serious consequences. "Deep-Sixing" Top Al Qaeda Information While Torturing Low-Level Detainees While top FBI-DOJ personnel were receiving and covering up for current information on al Qaeda terrorist plans, coming from the most important al Qaeda source that the United States had ever received, U.S. politicians ordering the unlawful and brutal torture upon mostly low level detainees. Most of them had no knowledge of al Qaeda operations, and none were in the loop with current information. At this time, there is evidence of a pattern of major criminal acts by people in key government positions that enabled to occur: The deadliest terrorist attack in the history of the United States. The start of two major wars based on a pattern of serial lying, that has already resulted in greater harm to the United States, with far more deaths, then the corruption and blundering enabled to occur on September 11, 2001. The United States and its people are now a quagmire and Catch-22 situation with the same culture and people in control that brought the United States to the present state that it is now in. There is much more to this matter then state here. Absolute Necessity to Withhold This Sordid Information from the Public The extreme nature of the corruption and the consequence, and the great number of people directly involved, and an even great number involved through cover-ups. If the American public now learned−and understood−the details of corruption and the cover-ups, the danger existed that the root of the endemic corruption involving key people and key groups in and out of government, would be exposed. That could lead to unexpected public outrage, though the past history of public reaction to great corruption and related catastrophic events makes that highly unlikely. For instance: The public won't read books and material on these subjects. It requires the exercise of mental energy, and this has become more scarce than before. Where protesters exist, they only protest matters that require no mental energy to learn the facts. Further they protest symptoms of the overwhelming corruption. And then, as is common by young people in the nation's higher "learning" institutions such as the University of California at Berkley−where students protest for two years against the cutting down of a tree to make room for expanding the teaching facilities. They aren't productive enough to buy the toilet paper to wipe their own rears, and now protest in a way that shows their utterly pathetic mental state and conduct. Source of Information and Evidence For the Very Few Who Care There are over 1,000 pages of information and documentation at the defraudingamerica.com site that refer to various segments of the corrupt and criminal activities that former federal agent and Navy veteran Rodney stich and his coalition of other insiders discovered during their many years of official government duties. Focusing on recent issues that are easier for the uninformed person to understand, the following links of the latest corruption responsible for the latest series of catastrophic events are shown as examples: www.defraudingamerica.com/al_qaeda_index.html www.defraudingamerica.com/911_blame_comparison.html www.defraudingamerica.com/recent_postings.html www.defraudingamerica.com 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.
