Life or Death, and Other Tragic Consequences The least-understood, and one of the most important factors in the tragedies inflicted upon the American people, and of great harm to the fabric of the United States, is the ripple or "Butterfly" effect from seemingly remote actions and activities, even those that surfaced years earlier. This site seeks to provide an explanation of the tragedies associated with this effect. Many of the past, present, and future deadly occurrences tragically affecting the lives of many people, and major national issues, including national security, are the result of the blowback or ripple effect of overt and covert actions by key people in government, and in overt and covert government operations. IF more people would develop a desire to read and learn about these actions that results in so much human misery, and act responsibly to address these matters, the lives of many victims, and the harm threatening the United States would. not exist. A few examples are given here, and many more examples are described in the books written by insiders and serious investigators. As It Related to Many Aviation Disasters Many fatal airline disasters would not have happened if the corrupt culture within the government's aviation safety offices had not and did not exist. In the book, Unfriendly Skies: 20th and 21st Centuries, a former government aviation safety inspector-investigator reveals the arrogance and corruption in the government's aviation safety offices first reported to the public over 30 years ago. He reveals the behind-the-scene misconduct that created the conditions enabling some of the nation's worst airline disasters to occur. The book also reveals the deadly ripple effects of the misconduct in the government's aviation safety offices; the ripple effects from the cover-up of that misconduct, which exists to this day. Books addressing this problem includes Unfriendly Skies, 20th and 21st Centuries; Blowback, 9/11, and Cover-Ups. Ripple Effects Enabling the 9/11 Hijackings The primary areas of blame for the conditions that enabled terrorists to hijack four airlines on 9/11 were the arrogance and corruption in the government's aviation safety offices, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). Their culture of self-interest repeatedly blocked the implementation of known measures that would have prevented the 9/11 hijackingsand 50 years of prior airline hijackings. This area has been carefully covered up by members of Congress and the 9/11 Commission. Former federal agent Rodney Stich had left a long trail of evidence in federal court filings, in letters to members of Congress, and in books and radio/TV appearances, that would open up areas of corruption in and out of government beyond the imagination of almost anyone. The primary books that detail this area of corruption are Unfriendly Skies: 20th and 21st Centuries, and Blowback, 9/11, and Cover-Ups. Secondary Areas of Blame For 9/11 The second areas of blame that enabled terrorists to carry out their scheme that surfaced on 9/11, were the culture and corruption in the CIA and the FBI. But decades of reports on FBI corruption, and CIA corruption, was covered up, continuing a culture that was not conducive to acting on threats to the United States when the FBI-CIA corruption was itself not only a threat to the United States but an actual source of harm. Decades of Ripple Effects Harming America and Its People People in the CIA have for years engaged in actions subverting U.S. interests, which were hardly conducive to devoting attention to plots by others to harm the United States. For instance: Decades of drug smuggling into the United States. Drugging American GIs in Vietnam, generating a hoard of drug users, and contributing to GI deaths. Looting the savings and loans and other financial scams. CIA director engaging in corrupt activities (such as October Surprise), and lying to support the president's intent to invade Iraq. Deaths by cremation or dismemberment in fraud-related airline disasters. Prison sentences for innocent people, sometimes life in prison. Often results from the culture of lying by prosecutors, threatening or rewarding people to give false testimony against innocent people. 38,000 thousand killed Americans in Korea, and thousands more maimed for life. Put end-to-end, the bodies of the dead would stretch for 40 miles. 58,000 killed Americans in Vietnam. End-to-end, the dead would stretch for 60 miles. Thousands of Americans killed and maimed in Iraq. Tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis killed from U.S. military actions. Impoverishment of thousands who exercised the statutory protections of Chapter 11, unaware of the widespread corruption of federal judges, federal trustees, lawyers, law firms, and their associates. Worldwide hatred for Americans, never-before growth for people wanting to kill Americans. Today, the consequences will hit home, as such weapons as suitcase nuclear bombs that have been obtained by terrorists will eventually be used. Massive indebtedness that could lead to a 1930 type of depression, but with riots and anarchy instead of the prior reasonable level of recognition for law. FBI agents in the Boston FBI office engaging in murders for years, with the Bulger criminal group, which was known to FBI and DOJ officials in Washington. FBI supervisory agent in the New York offices engaging in murders for years with the Colombo Mafia family, which was known to other FBI and DOJ officials. Middle East destabilization with countless areas of ripple effects, most not recognized by the people, partly made possible by White House and other politicians catering to Israel despite its invasion and occupation of another country and brutality upon its citizens. The party may be nearly over for America and those in denial. U.S. Invasion of Korea 38,000 dead Americans and thousands maimed for life, resulting from the lying and deception of White House politicians and their shills. Using the argument that a moron could recognize as phony, U.S. politicians justified the invasion of Korea on the argument that the people could not have a communist form of government, and also the house of cards trick. Forty years later, the American public continues to pay for a military force in South Korea, which could also become the springboard for events plunging the United States into a nuclear war where the American public would now pay the ghastly price for its prior conduct. U.S. Invasion of Vietnam 58,000 dead Americans and thousands maimed for life, on the basis of lying and arrogance of White House politicians and their shills in and out of government. The start of the war was based upon the lies that Vietnam had attacked a U.S. destroyer. The rationale for the war was that the United States could not allow the people of Vietnam to choose the communist form of government. Today, communist counties lend money to the United States to keep from entering a financial depression. U.S. invasion of Iraq Serial lying--not wrong intelligence--allowed President George Bush II administration to invade Iraq. The consequences of this lying has been the deaths and maiming of thousands of American military personnel, the murder of tens of thousands of Iraqi men, women, children, and infants, and an unprecedented growth of hatred for America and its people. The escalating harm suffered by the United States and its people from invading Iraq on a basis of serial lying will affect Americans for decades, with deadly consequences. The invasion of Iraq on the basis of serial lying by the President George Bush II administration has opened another Pandora's box that will bring great financial and personal harm to Americans and to the United States--as expected. One book addressing this problem is Iraq, Lies, Cover-Ups, and Consequences. U.S. Arming and Funding of Israel Due to the powerful Israel lobbies, the United States has funded and armed Israel, proving the military equipment to kill unarmed and innocent Palestinians in the land occupied by Israel. Any politician addressing this harmful policy risks being targeted for reprisals. The so-called terrorists repeatedly cite this as the basis for attacks upon the United States, which was greatly expanded with the invasion of Iraq. Another irony of this is that Israel has killed many U.S. military personnel (hours of shelling of the U.S.S. Liberty), has stolen U.S. secrets; and through the Mossad was involved in drug smuggling into the United States. Media Cover-Ups Aiding Ripple Effects Making all of the above, and many other corrupt and criminal activities implicating people in government offices, have been media people, many of whom have been on the payroll of the CIA and other government offices for years. Their cover-ups, disinformation, deception, and outright lying, have made possible some of the greater tragedies to befall Americans and the United States. This is especially evidence in their actions related to the invasion of Iraq on an unprecedented amount of repeated lying by White House politicians. The secret payments to media people are described in the various books written by insiders, including Defrauding America. American Public's Obsessive State of Denial For years the American public has acted as brain-dead sheep, indifferent to the corruption, indifferent to the sufferings and deaths, indifferent to anything other than simplistic self-interests. In almost every tragedy affecting the American people, and the United States, ample information was available prior to the ripple effects. People Implicated in Making Possible The Consequences of the Ripple Effects All of the above tragedies, resulting from the ripple effects of corrupt people and corrupt activities, were, and are being made, possible by each and all of the following: Lying politicians, including those in the White House, of both political parties. Felony cover-ups by those people who had check and balance positions in the numerous government agencies. Cover-ups , disinformation, lying, by media people, many of whom have been, and are, on the secret payroll of the CIA and other government offices. Prior Notice to the Public of the Causative Corruption Information has been made available to the public for decades about these corrupt activities. This information was available in newspaper articles; magazine articles; radio and television programs; books written by government and other insiders, and by courageous government insiders who have appeared on talk shows. Instead of showing some form of interest, outrage, and patriotic response, various segments of the public: Have and are too illiterate to understand. Taken an attitude that it didn't effect them. Persisted in the pathetic state of denialmaking it easier to cope than to show concern. Have shown a "loyalty" to their political party, regardless of the corruption in that party's leadership in the White House or Congress. Have attacked the courageous insiders.
