Dangerous David vs. Goliath Attempts To Defend National Interests The plight of federal airline safety inspector bizarre saga of Rodney Stich turned into a David vs. Goliath battle to fight−unexpectedly by himself−that extended far beyond his wildest imagination. The saga started with an assignment to correct the corrupt conditions responsible for the world's worst series of airline disasters in the United States. The corruption within the government's aviation safety offices that enabled to occur many preventable airline disasters was already known by others. But none dared to tackle what was only one tentacle of endemic corruption and cover-ups. The continued high number of continuing airline disasters and deaths occurring in his area of direct federal airline safety responsibilities encouraged him to take on the difficult task. These efforts, that continued for many years, resulted in discovering other areas of criminal activities that were inflicting great harm upon major national interests and upon the American public. As described in more detail in other pages at this site and in such related books as Unfriendly Skies: 20th & 21st Centuries, the combination of vast areas of corruption in multiple government entities, and the combination of cover-ups, enabled the corruption and the resulting airline disasters to continue for years thereafter. Because of facts outside of the areas of corruption inside the FAA, the number of airline disasters greatly decreased. But the lingering deep-seated corruption in certain areas of the government's aviation safety offices enabled to occur periodic airline disasters that would otherwise have been prevented. See whist blowers index. One-Day's Tragedies in a Long Series, Consequences of Corruption and Cover-Ups Hijackings of four airliners on 9/11: Here is what the evidence shows: The people with the primary responsibility for ordering the measures to prevent airliners being hijacked are the people in the government's primary aviation safety agency, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The reason why the congressional hearings, and the 9/11 Commission, had carefully circumvented that area is because of the evidence of massive corruption in that group. (Read Unfriendly Skies: 20th and 21st Centuries, and Blowback, 9/11, and Cover-Ups for the story and facts. The people with the primary responsibility for discovering and acting on the hijacking scheme were the people in the FBI and CIA. The hearings focused on the innocent failings of these people, carefully omitting the deep-seated culture of corruption that were hostile to protecting the nation. FBI agents engaging in murders, CIA personnel engaging in drug smuggling into the United States, and a host of other corrupt activities by these groups, were covered up. Several former federal agents had been attempting to report these arrogant and corrupt activities, and suffered the consequences for seeking to protect the American people. (Their stories are in the various books that they wrote.) The saga of one of those agents is especially dramatic, and if the information was used by activist groups, corruption that made the 3,000 deaths of 9/11 possible, and corruption in many other areas, would be exposed. That former federal agent, Rodney Stich, was, and still is, engaged in the most preposterous and bizarre David versus Goliath battle, seeking to protect the people. And the most documented. For instance, a few highlights: He repeatedly reported, as a federal air safety agent, the arrogance and corruption in thee government's aviation safety offices that were related to several specific airline disasters. In desperation, he acted similar to an independent prosecutor while a government agent, forcing a hearing upon the FAA that further documented the deadly corruption. During the hearing, three major airline disasters occurred, each one caused by the same problems he reported and for which preventative measures were blocked. He left government and filed the first in a series of federal lawsuits seeking to expose the corruption. These initial lawsuits were relating to airline safety and against the FAA, and against the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) for cover-ups. He published the first of four editions of Unfriendly Skies, describing the corruption, the crashes and deaths caused by the corruption, and the names of people responsibleincluding the names of federal judges and DOJ personnel who blocked the reports being made (along with the fatal crashes made possible by the cover-ups). This appeared to trigger a series of legal events that involved CIA-front law firms, sham lawsuits, and massive violations of state and federal laws. Sequence of bizarre actions taken by large numbers of lawyers and judges to halt his exposure activities. The start of the legal actions was filed by the San Francisco CIA-front law firm of Friedman, Sloan and Ross. That lawsuit, using a Texas resident as a proxy, was barred by dozens of California statutes and numerous federal laws and constitutional protections. California judges repeatedly acted without personal and without subject matter jurisdiction, violated the California statutes that barred the sham lawsuit, denied Stich the defenses under state law, and then reversed the legal and common-sense definition of vexatious litigant and charged Stich with being a vexatious litigant for defending against the sham lawsuit filed by the CIA-front law firm. The intent of the lawsuit was to strip Stich of the $10 million in real estate assets that funded his foolish attempts to expose the widespread corruption in government offices. These violations constituted repeated violations of federally-protected rights for which federal remedies existed under the Civil Rights Act, the Declaratory Judgment statutes, and civil RICO. Stich then filed federal actions as provided by federal law. The peculiar protection that the CIA-front law firm enjoyed from California judges then expanded into the federal courts, as the massive violations of federally-protected rights were aided and abetted and Stich denied the protections that the judges were required to provide. Laws violated by federal judges who joined the scheme to block exposure of the deadly corruption. The publicity arising from Stich's books and his hundreds of radio and TV appearances caused other government agents (FBI, CIA, ONI, DEA, FAA) to provide him with information and evidence of criminal activities of other government officials and in covert and corrupt operations. Stich then sought to report these criminal activities to a federal judge as specifically required by the federal crime reporting statute. Federal judges responded, again, as they had when Stich sought to report the criminal activities related to a series of airline disasters. They: Blocked the reports of criminal activities from being reported. These actions met the definition under the obstruction of justice statutes. Rendered unlawful and unconstitutional orders permanently barring Stich from filing any papers in any federal district or appellate court. These orders blocked Stich from reporting the criminal activities and blocked Stich from defending against the parallel legal actions taken to silence him. As Stich learned of additional criminal activities from his sources, which were inflicting great harm upon national interests, he again sought to report the corruption, along with the corruption in the government's aviation safety offices that was continuing in result in airline disasters. (The airline disasters had greatly decreased in numbers from when Stich first sought to expose the corruption. But preventable airline disasters did occur, and the airline hijackings of 9/11 were among those that could have been prevented if the deep-seated corruption did not exist.) Federal judges and DOJ prosecutors then charged Stich with criminal contempt of court for having filed papers in federal court when prior orders stripped him of that legal and constitutional right. Denied a jury trial, at the age of 67, just after undergoing multiple-bypass coronary surgery, he was sent for six months to federal prison, where he spent two months in solitary confinement. While in prison, federal judges unlawfully seized his assets, without any hearing, notice of hearing, or legal cause. Unlawful and unconstitutional orders were then rendered, barring him from filing any objection to the seizure and liquidation of his life assets. When he did file objection, the objection was unfiled, and Judge Edward Jellen (Oakland) charged Stich with criminal contempt of court. From 1986 through 1995, Stich was continuously either in prison or waiting trial on criminal contempt of court charges. Lawsuit filed prior to 9/11. Stich's last attempt to report the criminal activities in the government's aviation safety offices (that enabled the 9/11 hijackings to occur), and the corrupt activities in the FBI and CIA (that enabled the hijacking scheme to continue) was the filing of a lawsuit in the federal courts at Reno, Nevada. (MS Word) (Adobe PDF) The judge blocked that lawsuit, thereby protecting the CIA-front law firm and the California and federal judges that conspired together with the sham lawsuit. In this way, these were the last people to become implicated, before 9/11, in the deaths of the 3,000 people on that day. Lawsuit filed after 9/11. After 9/11, Stich made one last attempt to report the corrupt activities that, if not exposed and corrected, would make the 9/11 events simply one-day's consequences in a long line of fraud-related tragedies. He filed a lawsuit in the federal courts at New York City where most of the 9/11 litigation was filed. (MS Word) (Adobe PDF) In an attempt to further silence Stich, lawyers, law firms, and judges continued attacking Stich, even during the terminal stages of his severe heart condition.

Sampling of Great Tragedies Caused or Enabled by The Corruption in Key Government Positions That Whistleblowers Sought to Expose and Halt 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.
