Mechanics of Sham Lawsuits Initially Filed by CIA-Front Law Firm, & Deadly Ripple Effects The series of legal actions covering a 14 year period started with a bizarre lawsuit filed by the lawyers for a CIA-front law firm. These legal actions paralleled actions by federal judges and Department of Justice officials to prevent the public from learning about the tragedy-related corruption being exposed by former federal agent Rodney Stich and his group of other insiders, including former agents of the CIA, ONI, DEA, FBI and FAA. The first legal action placed a label on the lawsuit that permitted immediate seizure of Stich's assets. It was filed as a "divorce" action, and then lis pendens were obtained from cooperating California judges that separated Stich from the assets that funded his exposure activities. Making the lawsuit a sham were the facts that: A 1966 divorce judgment, and five subsequent state judgments that were filed as local judgments, showing the parties as having been legally divorced in 1966. The former wife, Emma Stich, residing in Duncanville, Texas, had been declaring herself divorced in legal filings in Texas since 1966, including in real estate sales and purchases. , and with the Social Security Administration, which recognized the 1966 divorcee judgment. And she continued to declare herself divorced, in her home state of Texas, after the CIA-front law firm filed the California action stating she wanted a divorce from the existing legal marriage. that is, except in the State of California, where she committed the criminal act of perjury as she declared to California judges that she was not divorced and that she wanted a divorce. California judges were aware of the perjury, the lying, and the prior divorce judgments, and ignored all of these acts so as to insure the success of the sham lawsuit filed by the CIA-front law firm and its lawyers. The lawyers, and the California judges, knew that Stich: Was attempting to report and expose the corrupt and criminal activities. That these corrupt and criminal activities enabled to occur a number of ongoing airline disasters; the hundreds of people had perished in these crashes; and that over a thousand funeral processions had occurred; and would continue to occur by covering up for the matters. And the crashes, deaths, and funeral processions related to continuing airline disasters enabled to occur by all of the above, numbered victims and funeral processions into the thousands.

Further, Stich's former wife in Texas continued to declare herself divorced after the CIA-front law firm filed the action in California declaring that she wanted a divorce. She even filed for higher social security payments with the Social Security Administration based upon the 1966 divorce. This was done one year after the initiation of the sham California action. She became a criminal participant in the corrupt lawsuit that assisted the cover-up of the corrupt activities--some of which made 9/11 possible. The primary importance of these judicial acts was that they blocked the reporting of major corrupt activities in government offices that were associated, initially, with a series of fatal airline disasters. From 1982 to 2006, over 50 lawyers and law firms, over two dozen California judges, and several dozen federal judges, were directly involved in multiple legal actions that they knew blocked the former federal agent from reporting criminal activities involving people in government positions, and that continued to inflict great harm, and even deaths, upon thousands of people. The initial legal action by the CIA-front law firm involved placing lis pendens on Stich's extensive real estate holding. By doing this, Stich was deprived of the assets that funded his expensive exposure acivities. Further indication that the Friedman lawyers were not actually representing their Texas client, but only after destroying Stich's financial ability to continue the costly exposure activities, they allowed hundreds of thousands of dollars of valuable properties to be lost due to the lis pendens. If they were actually representing their Texas "client" in a legal dissolution of marriage action, they would not have allowed one property after the other, with hundreds of thousands in equity, to be lost because lis pendens blocked mortgages coming due to be refinanced. Lawsuit Was Barred by Overwhelming Numbers of State and Federal Laws and Constitutional protections, All of Which Were Repeatedly Violated Evidence in court filings show that dozens of judges that were paid and entrusted to uphold the laws and Constitution of the state of California and of the United States repeatedly violated wholesale numbers of them. The first lawsuit filed by the CIA-front law firm and lawyers was barred by dozens of state and federal laws and constitutional protections. These statutes, court decisions, and constitutional protections: Established that the California judges lacked personal, and subject matter, jurisdiction. A dissolution of marriage action requires a legally existing marriage. There was no marriage, either in fact, or in law. The facts of the parties holding themselves out as divorced for two decades, and multiple divorce judgments that by law had to be recognized, were simply ignored and violated. Numerous California statutes (any one of which barred the action and denied the California judges of personal and subject matter jurisdiction) were repeatedly violated. California judges repeatedly retaliated against Stich for exercising the specific legal and constitutional rights to file objections. California judges ordered Stich to pay over $40,000 in sanctions to the CIA-front law firm for exercising the constitutional right seeking to halt the great and irreparable personal and financial harm the violations were inflicting upon Stich. California judges repeatedly placed frivolous labels on the exercise of specific state defense remedies addressing the wholesale violations of state and federal law. By retaliating against Stich for exercising the legal defenses against massive and repeated violations of constitutional rights, California judges perpetrated federal crimes under Title 18 U.S.C. § 241. It is a federal crime to retaliate against anyone exercising his or her constitutional rights to defend against civil rights violations. . These activities knowingly hindered the attempts by this former federal agent to report and expose corrupt and criminal activities that were continuing to threaten, and periodically resulting, in hundreds of deaths. Frivolous Label to Deny Due Process To subvert legal and constitutional defenses, California judges placed a frivolous label on Stich's exercise of long established legal defenses seeking to halt the judicial violations inflicted upon him. In this way, every due process defense was blocked. California judges repeatedly charged Stich with frivolous defense filings when he exercised the due process defenses. This tactic to block due process defenses would be followed by federal judges, as they reversed the legal and common-sense definition of the term, frivolous. The judicial rendering of the frivolous charge reversed, and turned on its head, the criteria for calling any legal action frivolous. They also repeatedly refused to issue findings of facts and conclusions of law that were legally required, and which would have exposed the violations of law that they were perpetrating. Exercising Federal Defenses On Bases of Massive Violations of Federally Protected Rights Any one of the dozens of times that any one of the dozens of state and federal laws and constitutional protections were violated invoked federal court jurisdiction. Federal remedies were available: To order a halt to the continuing civil rights violations. To obtain financial judgments for the personal and financial harm suffered. To require state judges to recognize the legal and personal status of the divorced parties that were established din the original 1966 divorce and the entering of that original 1966 judgment as a local judgment in the states of Oklahoma, Texas, Nevada, and California. The federal laws that provided mandatory jurisdiction of federal judges to adjudicate the violations of federally protected rights included, for instance: The Civil Rights Act, and related case law, including U.S. Supreme Court decisions, addressing the repeated massive violations of state and federal laws and constitutionals protections. The Declaratory Judge Act and related case law to declare as valid the personal and property rights established in the five divorce judgments that were repeatedly violated, especially since the matters involved rights established by these judgments in five different states. The initial California judicial involvement commenced in 1982, and by 1984, actions were filed in the federal courts at Sacramento, California, seeking to halt the continuing harm being inflicted by California judges. The first judge to join and protect the conspiracy was U.S. District Judge Raul Ramirez (who is now a lawyer in a law office at Sacramento). Parallel Tactics to Prevent the Public From Knowing The actions by the CIA-front law firm, that acted to halt Stich's exposure of the corrupt activities, were parallel to the efforts by DOJ personnel and federal judges to block Stich's reports of them through the federal court filings. As time progressed, it became apparent that a powerful force somewhere in the federal government was behind the initial scheme by the San Francisco CIA-front law firm. Quick Flashback to Federal Judges' Complicity in Cover-Ups and Related Fatal Airline Disasters Several legal filings were made, seeking to report the federal crimes, several years earlier in the federal courts at San Francisco. These attempts to report the serious and deadly conditions were made under: The authority and requirement of the federal crime reporting statute, Title 28 U.S.C. § 1361, that gives anyone the right to seek a federal court order ordering a federal official to perform a mandatory duty and halt unlawful conduct, both of which was involved in several specific fatal airline disasters. (Described in Unfriendly Skies: 20th & 21st Centuries). The office of the U.S. attorney sat San Francisco, and Department of Justice lawyers, , filed motions to block Stich from reporting the criminal activities. They claimed Stich had no standing to report the criminal activities. But Title 18 U.S.C. § 4 not only requires anyone who knows of a suspected federal crime to report them to a federal judge or other federal official, but also provides punishment for those who do not report the crimes. Justice Department prosecutors have prosecuted hundreds of people for not promptly making such reports. (Examples in Defrauding America book.) In every instance when Stich sought to report the federal crimes to a federal judge, the judges (often former Department of Justice prosecutors) blocked the reports. This block was done despite knowing that their cover-ups not only were crimes, but that their cover-ups enabled the conditions to continue that were resulting in airline crashes, deaths, and hundreds of funeral processions. (People today don't remember the great numbers of airline disasters that were occurring from about 1950 to about 1990.) The actions by the U.S. Attorney, and the federal judges, were prima facie evidence of obstruction of justice, and made possible the continuation of the crashes and deaths due to the problems Stich had previously discovered as part of his official and professional duties. In the second edition of Unfriendly Skies that was published in 1981, the names of the federal judges and Justice Department personnel were inserted, along with the specific crashes and deaths that their obstruction of justice enabled to occur. This may have precipitated what followed. A study in the Butterfly Effect, or the ripple effects, would reveal conditions beyond the imagination of most people. Seeking Federal Relief From Federal Judges Already Complicit Major protections were available in federal courts from what was being done by California judges and the CIA-front law firm's lawyers. In 1984, Stich filed the first legal action in the federal courts at Sacramento, California, seeking a court order to halt the great and irreparable harm arising from the repeated orders by California judges that violated blocks of state and federal laws and constitutional protections, and combined that issue with federal causes of actions related to the violations of federally protected rights occurring in the California courts. Unrecognized by Stich at that time: The actions by the CIA-related lawyers, aided and abetted by California judges, were efforts to halt Stich's exposure activities and thereby, parallel efforts to similar cover-ups by federal judges and DOJ officials seeking to prevent the public from learning about the deadly corruption. The sham lawsuit filed by the CIA-front law firm was probably orchestrated somewhere high in either the Department of Justice or the federal judiciary. Federal judges and Department of Justice personnel were already implicated and their involvement would possibly be exposed if the actions of the CIA-related lawyers and cooperating California judges were exposed. And that relationship would be exposed if Stich's federal actions were allowed to proceed to discovery and final decision. U.S. District Judge Raul Ramirez acted to protect the CIA-front law firm and lawyers, and the large numbers of cooperating California judges. Ramirez violated numerous federal statutes and related case law, including the Civil Rights Act and the Declaratory Judgment Act. Ramirez blocked Stich from obtaining discovery. Ramirez dismissed the action, aiding and abetting the repeated and massive violations of state and federal laws and constitutional protections that he was paid to uphold. In addition to violating his duty to order the halt of the damaging civil rights violations, Ramirez's order dismissing the lawsuit also barred Stich from filing any papers in any federal district or appellate court. That order was patently illegal and unconstitutional, and voided for Stich the protections under the laws and Constitution of the United States. Ramirez' actions encouraged the California judges to increase the violations of state and federal laws and constitutional protections. Ramirez stripped the former federal agent and whistleblower of the protections in California and federal laws and insured that Stich would continue to be victimized in the California courts. The ripple effects for the country, and for many people, would be catastrophic. But with the public's pathetic lack of interest in such matters, the catastrophic ripple effects would not be recognized by the American people. Seeking to Report Criminal Activities to Federal Judges While Seeking Federal Defenses Against the Parallel Sham Lawsuit During these legal attacks, Stich had continued to move books exposing the corruption that involved many airline disasters. His first book was Unfriendly Skies, the first edition published in 1978. Stich appeared on hundreds of radio and TV shows as guest and expert. In 1986, Stich started learning about criminal activities in other areas of covert and overt government activities from a steady stream of former government agents, especially CIA-related personnel, and involved in the Iran-Contra affair. These criminal activities were inflicting great harm, even deaths, on many people, and undermining national security. Over a dozen books by Rodney Stich and his dozens of insider sources details the corruption and the resulting tragedies. Upon learning of these major crimes against the United States, Stich exercised his mandatory responsibility under the federal crime reporting statute and filed federal actions to report them, including the corrupt activities related to a series of specific airline disasters. After the CIA related lawyers filed their sham lawsuit in the California courts, Stich combined the reporting of these crimes with the federal causes of actions involving the actions taken by the CIA-front lawyers and California judges. The first such combined federal legal action was assigned to U.S. District Judge Milton Schwartz in the federal courts at Sacramento, California. During the first court appearance, Schwartz stated that the charges were very serious; that he should obtain a lawyer, and that he was scheduling another hearing for Stich to obtain one. There were a few problems with his statements: The federal crime reporting statute didn't require anyone to obtain a lawyer to provide information to a court about federal crimes. A person discovering a federal crime, and meeting the responsibilities of the federal crime reporting statute, is not required to spend tens of thousands of dollars of his or her own money to report federal crimes to a federal judge. Every federal judge had a mandatory responsibility, as part of his administrative duties (not judicial duties), to receive information of the federal crimes. At that point, a judicial record would be made of the charges, and the judge would be required to turn the information over to the Department of Justice. Even though the culture in the DOJ was to cover up, the fact that a judicial record was made of the charges, a cover-up would be more difficult. But Schwartz's attitude suddenly changed. Without the required notice of hearing and actual hearing, Schwartz, issued an order dismissing the action and charging Stich with criminal contempt of court. Apparently somewhere high in either the federal judicial or the Department of Justice, Schwartz was contacted. The criminal contempt of court charge was based upon Stich's filing papers in federal court seeking to report the federal crimes that he subsequently discovered, and for exercising legal and constitutional defenses against the continuing onslaught of violations of major federally protected rights. U.S. District Judge Raul Ramirez's unlawful and unconstitutional order barring Stich from filing any papers in any federal court was used as the basis for the criminal contempt of court charge. Stich's attempts to report the federal crimes allegedly violated that order. Schwartz, and followed soon by Ramirez, started the preposterous legal doctrine that: A former federal agent (or anyone knowing of crimes against the United States) could be charged with criminal contempt of court for exercising procedural due process remedies in the Civil Rights Act and the Declaratory Judgment Act, which are specifically intended for the violations of federally protected rights that were occurring. This is a criminal act under Title 18 U.S.C. Section 241. A former federal agent (or anyone knowing of crimes against the United States) could be charged with criminal contempt of court for reporting federal crimes to a federal judges. Making the judicial crime even worse, Stich was attempting to halt the continuing deadly consequences that he had documented since the time he was a federal air safety investigator-inspector. And worse since Stich was required to report the federal crime to a federal judge under Title 18 U.S.C. Section 4, Further, the infliction of harm upon a former federal agent for seeking to report criminal activities is a criminal act under Title 18 U.S.C. Sections 1503, 1512, and 1513. (Whether the practices that Stich was seeking to report were actually federal crimes or not is unrelated to the nature of the federal crimes perpetrated by the federal judges. However, the charges were true!) Sacramento U.S. Attorney David Levi, enlarging on the prior obstruction of justice by DOJ personnel, filed criminal contempt of court charges against Stich, seeking imprisonment for 18 months. Stich had just undergone open heart surgery for six bypasses, he was nearing the age of 70, and such a prison term could very easily result in his death. How convenient! Stich paid Sacramento attorney Joel Pegg $40,000 to defend, and found the attorney sabotaging him. Much more about this in the book, Unfriendly Skies: 20th & 21st Centuries. Stich then went to federal prison for six months, spending eight weeks in solitary confinement. The frivolous label that was first extensively used by California judges when Stich exercised specific state defenses against the massive violations being perpetrated by California judges was then followed by federal judges. It was applied to the efforts to report the criminal activities that were inflicting such grave harm upon so many people. It's outrageous consequences can be recognized by looking at pictures of the many people jumping to their deaths from the World Trade Center buildings on September 11, 2001. Federal Judges and DOJ Personnel Were Not Finished! While in prison, federal judges (Edward Jellen, Oakland, and Robert Jones in Las Vegas) rendered orders seizing and liquidating the $10 million in real estate properties owned by Stich. These orders violated the legal and constitutional right to notice of hearing, a hearing, and legally required cause, and were an extension of what had become conspiracies to block the exposure of one of the worst cases of corruption in government since the nation's founding. Judge Jellen followed the practice of prior federal judges. Jellen rendered an illegal and unconstitutional order barring Stich from filing any objection to the seizure and liquidation of his life's assets. And when Stich filed an objection, Jellen held Stich in criminal contempt of court, and sentenced Stich to federal prison. (For some reason, that sentence was not carried out.) But others would follow, with San Francisco U.S. District Judge Marilyn H. Patel and Vaughn R. Walker again charging Stich with criminal contempt of court, and incarceration and home confinement for several years. (Details in Unfriendly Skies: 20th & 21st Centuries.) Varied Forms of Tragedies Enabled to be Inflicted The documented corruption that has been lightly described enabled to continue various forms of corrupt and criminal activities, with everyone threatened with harm, and many actually suffering calamitous consequences, even deaths. The details are in the various books that Rodney Stich wrote, based upon what he and his dozens of insiders had discovered. Judicial Block Just Prior to 9/11 Made 3,000 Deaths Possible The gravity of the crimes, and the terrible consequences, caused Stich to ignore the threat of further judicial and DOJ retaliation; Stich made one last attempt to report the corrupt and criminal activities in the government's aviation safety and other government offices. Stich filed a federal lawsuit in the federal courts at Reno. That legal action not only sought to report the federal crimes but also the people involved in the parallel actions to silence the former federal agent. As usual, the federal judge, U.S. District Judge Edward C. Reed, possibly to protect all the other federal judges criminally implicated, blocked the action from proceeding. That lawsuit added additional evidence to the already long list of people involved with subsequent tragedies. In this case, the events of 9/11. The hijackings of four airliners occurred before Reed could dismiss the lawsuit. Stich filed a January 21, 2002, declaration, showing the relationship of the corruption, the people named ass defendants in that lawsuit, and the deaths made possible by their actions. (MS Word) (Adobe PDF) Reed refused to order the defendants to answer written interrogatories, which were required by law to be answered, but which would have revealed their role in the multiple schemes to halt Stich's continued exposur5e of the multi-faceted corrupt activities. Ignoring the 3,000 Deaths to Continue Protecting the Guilty Stich made one last effort, after the 9/11 hijackings to provide further proof of the deadly consequences of how hard core corruption by certain people in government positions, and the cover-ups, made possible the deaths of nearly 3,000 people. Stich filed a lawsuit seeking to report the corruption and how it made possible the hijackings and the 3,000 deaths. The federal crime reporting statute made it a mandatory requirement for Mukasey to receive the information as part of his mandatory administrative duties. Blocking the reporting of criminal activities that had such catastrophic deadly consequences would worsen the severity of the obstruction of justice felony. As in the past, and especially after 3,000 deaths, it became even more important to keep the public from learning of these matters and the decades of deadly consequences. Upon receiving the lawsuit, federal rules required that it be promptly filed. In this case, U.S. District Judge Michael Mukasey blocked it from being filed. It was only after Stich sent letter to each of the Justices of the United States Supreme Court, advising them of the latest obstruction of justice by federal judges over whom they had supervisory responsibilities, that Mukasey allowed the lawsuit to be filed; thirteen months after its receipt! Mukasey then, within minutes, filed an order dismissing the lawsuit, thereby violating not only various criminal obstruction of justice statutes, but also numerous due process rights. As in the past, those who participated in the bizarre legal and judicial schemes to keep the public from learning of these matters, were rewarded. For instance: U.S. Attorney David Levi was made a federal judge in Sacramento. Magistrate John Moulds, who participated in the criminal contempt charges against Stich, was made a federal judge in Sacramento. U.S. District Judge Michael Mukasey was made Attorney General of the United States by President George W. Bush. Numerous instances of this occurred in the FAA, as those who participated in the corrupt acts that led to many deaths were promoted and received financial rewards. The lawyers involved in the schemes who knew that they were obstructing justice received most of the $10 million in assets taken from Stich. One or more of the state judges at Fairfield, California, who aided and abetted the CIA-front law firm, were promoted to higher judicial positions. Criminal Involvement of Justices of U.S. Supreme Court Judicial and other records provide prima facie evidence of the complicity in these matters by Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court. Their involvement and complicity commenced with the filing of the first law suit against the FAA. Petitions for writ of certiorari (similar to an appeal) were sent, and filed, to the Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court, starting in 1978. If, instead of covering up, they had performed their legal and moral duties, the corrupt activities that expanded throughout government, and in the legal fraternity, that had such deadly consequences, could have been exposed and acted upon. A prior posting shows a list of some of the papers submitted, or filed, to the Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court. Prior Cover-Ups Had Their Price, and These Corrupt and Criminal Acts Continued the Ripple Effects The hijackings of four airliners on 9/11 were the results on blowback or ripple effects that have not been addressed or recognized. These ripple or "butterfly effects" have inflicted great harm upon people, and upon the United States, for years, made possible by the endemic culture of cover-ups in the United States. To understand even the most elementary elements in how 19 terrorists were so easily able to hijack four airliners within a couple of hours on September 11, 2001, several obvious facts should be recognized: The people and the organization responsible for ordering the known preventative measures against hijackings were the people in the government's aviation safety offices. These were the offices in which Stich held possibly the most important hands-on responsibilities in the Federal Aviation Administration at that time. Airliners had been hijacked continuously since 1950, and the need for the FAA (also known as the Tombstone Agency) to take action was obvious. The measures to prevent airliners from being hijacked were known to the people in the FAA. Among the many reports made by federal aviation inspector Rodney Stich was a report on how to prevent hijackings. FAA personnel were receiving almost daily warnings, prior to 9/11, of the planned hijackings. Since the management personnel in the FAA were the primary people responsible for ordering the measures to prevent airliners from being hijacked, that was obviously the primary area to be investigated by members of Congress and the 9/11 Commission. But there were serious problems. If that area was investigated, the corruption related to many prior airline disasters was in danger of being exposed by such records as: The many official reports that FAA air safety inspector Rodney Stich wrote documenting the corruption and related fatal crashes. The 4000-page transcript of an unprecedented air safety hearing forced upon the FAA and conducted by Stich, acting similar to an in depended prosecutor documented the FAA corruption. Segments of the final closing brief warned of the deadly consequences that would follow (and did follow) if a cover-up occurred (and which did occur). Three additional fatal airline disasters occurred during the hearing, each one caused by the very same problems that Stich had repeatedly reported in official government reports, for which he received various forms of harassment. Numerous federal lawsuits detailing the specific corruption and the specific deadly consequences. The book, Unfriendly Skies, that detailed and documented the specific corruption the people, thee crashes, and some of the victims that perished. The many letters sent by the federal safety inspector to members of Congress, to the media, to aviation litigation lawyers, detailing the corruption and some of the related crashes. Members of congress, and the 9/11 Commission staff members, carefully avoided addressing the area most responsible for the conditions enabling terrorists to hijack four airliners on 9/11. To have done otherwise would have exposed the massive corruption in group keys in and out of government. The primary attention was directed to the FBI and CIA, the group that had neither the expertise nor the responsibility to prevent airliners from being hijacked. Neither the FBI or CIA had any responsibility to issue orders necessary to prevent airlines from being hijacked. Shifting attention to them was the standard procedure in government hearings to shift attention from the areas of primary misconduct. FBI management was complicit, but that area was covered up. FBI and other DOJ personnel were complicit by their retaliation against the former federal agent, charging him with criminal contempt of court for attempting to report corrupt conditions that enabled 19 terrorists to hijack four airliners on 9/11. But they were also complicit in another manner. As detailed and documented in the book, Crimes of the FBI-DOJ, and the Mafia, and to an abbreviated form in Unfriendly Skies: 20th & 21st Centuries, the FBI-DOJ had a mole inside the al Qaeda terrorist group. That mole described an impending attack upon a U.S. airliner (weeks before the downing of TWA Flight 800); reported the planned bombings of U.S. Embassies in Africa (shortly before they were bombed); and the planned hijackings of U.S. airliners. The mole even provided a fictitious corporation and telephone forwarding service that al Qaeda operatives used. But the valuable inside al Qaeda information was not used. If it had been used, the subject of FBI agents involved in murders with organized crime and Mafia figures would have been exposed. Those who then perished were simply sacr5ificed for the good of the FBI-DOJ officials in control. The Role of the American Public The American public has a not very complementary role in not only the massive legal and judicial corruption, but also the continuation of the resulting tragedies and deaths. And that includes the events of 9/11. For instance, millions of the American public: Knew of the tens of thousands of the books by government insiders that were sold that detailed and documented these serious problems. Heard former agent Rodney Stich during the over 3,000 radio and television appearances since 1978, as well as other former FAA personnel. Heard him on radio shows after being held guilty of criminal contempt of court for attempting to report the criminal activities that he and a group of other former insiders had discovered. And none did a damn thing! Recap of Details A careful understanding of the corrupt actions taken against a former federal aviation safety inspector-investigator reveals the endless numbers of tragedies caused by the misconduct and the cover-ups. Former federal agent Rodney Stich had discovered and documented areas of corruption in the government's aviation safety offices (FAA) directly related to a series of deadly airline disasters. Encountering the usual cover-ups to exposing these matters, he did a number of unusual things seeking to halt the corruption, motivated by the human tragedies associated with these airline disasters. (His latest book describing the corruption is Unfriendly Skies: 20th and 21st Centuries.) While in government service, he used the usual means to address the corruption, being official reports to FAA management and letters to members of Congress, which was his first encounters with the endemic cover-ups and indifference that he would repeatedly encounter over many subsequent years. In an unprecedented reaction--while still a federal agent--he: Appeared before a federal grand jury in Denver, over the objections of people in the Department of Justice. Sent letters to FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, accusing him of criminal cover-up in corruption responsible for an ongoing series of fatal airline crashes. Sent letters to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) accusing the political board members of cover-up of the corruption in the FAA, of doctoring accident reports to cover up for this misconduct, which then played a role in subsequent airline crashes resulting from the cover-ups. Major federal remedies existed in federal statutory and case law and in the U.S. Constitution for these record numbers of violations of state and federal laws. The primary remedies existed under the Civil Rights Act for the violations occurring in the California courts; and under the declaratory judgment act requiring a federal judge to declare Stich's personal and property rights adjudicated 20 years earlier and established in five subsequent judgments entered in the states of Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas, Nevada and two counties of California. Every exercise of due process procedures to the California court of appeals and California Supreme Court was blocked, as the sham lawsuit filed by the CIA-front law firm was protected. California judges compounded their aiding and abetting of the violations by ordering Stich to pay thousands of dollars in sanctions to the Friedman lawyers for exercising the appeal remedies specifically provided by law. Orders were entered accusing Stich of being a frivolous litigant for exercising defenses against the massive numbers of laws being violated that were inflicting great and irreparable personal and financial harm upon Stich. Lawsuits were filed in the U.S. district court at Sacramento, California, seeking to halt the unlawful and unconstitutional actions taking place in the California courts. The first such action occurred in 1983, which was the start of the judicial block in the federal courts. Again, the CIA-front law firm was protected, as were the California judges who were blatantly violating federally protected rights. Every defense in federal law was repeatedly violated by federal judges, who compounded their actions by ordering Stich to pay financial sanctions for exercising these rights. Seeking to protect their substantive and procedural due process violations, federal judges copied the tactics by California judges in calling Stich's attempts to halt the violations and harm, frivolous acts. That conduct continued repeatedly, and exists at this time. California judges acted to protect the scheme and the CIA-front lawyers by violating for six years the state and federal laws barring the action and even depriving them of jurisdiction. They compounded these violations of substantive protections by violating the numerous procedural due process protections available under the laws of the state of California. In addition, they ordered Stich to pay huge financial sanctions to the Friedman lawyers for exercising defenses in California law against the record numbers of violated laws. It is a felony to inflict harm upon anyone for exercising due process rights. (18 U.S.C. §§ 242 and 245.) Federal judges compounded their continuing obstruction of justice with repeated violations of state and federal laws, constitutional protections, and procedural remedies, the effects of which, and surely the intent, was to block the reporting of criminal activities and to deprive him of the federal protections and defenses against the massive violations of state and federal laws that occurred initially with the filing of the sham lawsuit by the CIA-front law firm. Other lawyers joined in filing sham lawsuits against Stich, including one filed by lawyers in South Carolina that against required cooperation of California and federal judges. They all knew that their actions were impeding Stich's attempts to report the extensive criminal activities that were, in Trojan horse fashion, inflicting and enabling to inflict great harm upon the United States. In an effort to halt Stich's exposure activities by striping him of the assets that funded these actions, the sham lawsuit was filed against him by a CIA-front law firm (Friedman, Sloan and Ross, San Francisco). That lawsuit was given a label that permitted immediate control over Stich's assets although it bore no relationship to reality or Stich's legal status. That lawsuit violated large numbers of state and federal laws and constitutional protections, all of which barred the action. The lawsuit was filed in the California courts at Fairfield, California. Over a dozen California judges became implicated in supporting the CIA-front law firm's action, which required repeated violations of state and federal laws. (Word) (Adobe) Compounding these violations, the California judges blocked and violated every procedural due process defense. When Stich exercised these rights, California court of appeal judges ordered him to pay many thousands of dollars to the CIA-front law firm, and placed a frivolous label on his exercise of the defense remedies specifically provided by California law. These judges--and the CIA-front law firm--knew they were blocking the exposure of a broad spectrum of criminal activities that continued to inflict great harm upon national security and other national interests. Publicity from Books and Radio-TV Appearances Caused Government Agents to Provide Information on Corruption in Other Government Offices. The publicity from Stich's books and radio-TV appearances caused a steady stream of former and present government agents to provide him with information on corruption in other government offices that affected national security. These sources included agents of the FBI, CIA, FAA, DEA, Secret Service, and others. that they discovered during their official duties. The corruption being reported covered vast areas of government operations and implicated people in the three branches of government, involved matters of major national importance, and adversely affecting the lives of many innocent people. Sending letters to major airline accident firms offering to provide evidence of the corruption in the FAA (and NTSB) that played major roles in specific airline disasters in which they had litigation. These firms included Kriendler, Speiser, and others. They all admitted the seriousness of the charges, but none offered to help expose the corruption. Sending letters to members of Congress, offering to provide evidence of the deep-seated corruption related to certain specific airline disasters. Publishing the first of numerous books in 1978, the first edition of Unfriendly Skies (which is now in the fourth edition, the title of which was duplicated in several other books). Filing federal lawsuits seeking to report the corrupt and criminal activities, as specifically provided by the federal crime reporting statute and the statute permitting any citizen to seek a court order requiring federal officials to comply with the law and halt unlawful conduct. Each of these actions was blocked by DOJ officials and federal judges, and went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court--where the justices covered up for the criminal activities, the judicial obstruction of justice--and became complicit in the subsequent tragic consequences. Appearing as guest and expert on hundreds of radio and television shows (totaling over 3,000 at the time of this writing). These activities caused other government agents and insiders to provide Stich with information on corruption in government offices and government operations, which he then used to write other books and which were the basis of other legal actions Stich took seeking to expose and halt the misconduct. Stich's real estate investments totaled over $10 million by 1987. These consisted of motels, hotels, apartments, truck stop, golf course, refrigeration plant, land. It was these assets that funded Stich's attempts to expose the corruption that he and an increasing number of other government agents reported to him. Thumbnail Sketch of Actions Taken to Stop Exposure Actions Sham lawsuit filed against Stich in California courts by CIA-front law firm and lawyers of Friedman, Sloan and Ross in San Francisco. Dozens of state and federal statutes, case law, rules of court, and constitutional protections were repeatedly violated, despite the fact that any single one of them barred the lawsuit. California judges repeatedly violated, for six years, these legal rights, and acted without jurisdiction under California law. The exercise of federal remedies, specifically provided by several federal statutes, was blocked by federal judges, who acted to protect the CIA-front law firm and the massive violations of federally protected rights. Federal judges issues unlawful and unconstitutional orders forever barring Stich from filing any papers in federal courts--for the remainder of his life. These orders had two effects: Prevented Stich from using federal law to defend against the massive violations of state and federal laws by the CIA-front law firm and the many California judges who became involved. The orders blocked Stich from reporting the criminal activities to a federal judge that he was reporting under the federal crime reporting statute. For such massive repeated violations by state and federal judges, acting in unison with the CIA-front law firm, suggests that the initial scheme to use the legal process to halt the exposure actions arose somewhere in the federal court system; or, the federal court system was knowingly brought into the scheme by some other powerful source in government. Absolutely Essential to Recognize The Purpose--and the Deadly Consequences It is important to realize that the intent of these legal actions that involved nearly a dozen California judges and over a dozen federal judges over the years had a primary goal and secondary goals: Halt Stich from exposing the corrupt and criminal activities that he and a group of other former government agents had discovered that had fatal and other series consequences, and undermined the internal security of the United States. The hijackings of 9/11 were among the tragic consequences of the misconduct Stich sought to report, the cover-ups by every government check and balance, and the lawyers and judges involved in the series of legal attacks that went from 1982 through 1999. Protect the lawyers and CIA-front law firm carrying out the attacks upon Stich. Insuring that the lawsuit filed by the CIA-front law firm prevails. The sequence of events, most or all of which are recorded in judicial records, strongly indicates that a high government official or powerful group orchestrated the initial attacks upon Stich and then orchestrated the obstruction of justice, the aiding and abetting of the wrongful acts, and the conversion of the federal courts into a corrupt arm of government. Somewhere there had to be a powerful force to orchestrate such massive breakdowns in the courts. Stich initially had legal counsel to defend against the sham California lawsuit, but their performance was a combination of incredible ignorance about California and federal law relating to the sham lawsuit, and in some cases a clear case of sabotaging their client, possibly to avoid offending the judges. Several who refused to represent Stich stated that their careers would suffer if they represented him. Large numbers of California and federal judges worked in unison with the CIA-front law firm. The First of Several Legal Actions Misusing the Courts, Seeking to Halt Stich From Exposing the Tragedy-Related Corruption Seeking to strip Stich of the assets that funded his exposure actions, and thereby halt the exposures, a sham lawsuit was filed against him by the CIA-front law firm of Friedman, Sloan and Ross (San Francisco). The results of that lawsuit--and surely its intent--was to strip Stich of the $10 million in real estate assets that he foolishly used in his attempts to expose and halt the corruption--some of it deadly--that he initially discovered as a key federal aviation safety agent--and which he later discovered from the many other present and former government agents that provided him with insider information. To understand that the misconduct was not only of academic interest, much of the misconduct would be in the government's aviation safety offices and the FBI and CIA, the source of the primary blame and the secondary blame for the conditions that allowed terrorists to hijack four airliners on 9/11.
