Sham Lawsuit Against Former Government Agent to Halt His Exposure of Deadly Corruption in Government Offices and Government Operations: Catalyst for 9/11
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.
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.
Leaving Government Position
Refusing to work under the corrupt conditions, Stich left government service. He then sought to obtain income by investing in real estate, while simultaneously continuing his efforts to address the increasing numbers of major airline disasters (many of which resulted from conditions arising from the corruption in the government's aviation safety offices.
These efforts included the following:
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 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 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.
Lawsuit Was Barred by Overwhelming Numbers of State and Federal Laws and Constitutional protections--That Were Repeatedly Violated by California and Federal Judges
The violations commenced in the California courts in a sham lawsuit filed by the CIA-front law firm of Friedman, Sloan and Ross (San Francisco), the goal of which was to strip Stich of the assets that funded his exposure activities.
The primary importance of these judicial acts was that they were intended to block the reporting of corrupt activities in government offices that were resulting in great harm upon matters of national interests, including national security. Large numbers of California and federal judges worked in unison with the CIA-front law firm.
That lawsuit was barred by dozens of state and federal laws and constitutional protections.
Despite the enormous number of laws barring the lawsuit, California judges issued orders for six years that protected the CIA-front law firm and inflicted great personal and financial harm upon Stich. These activities hindered his actions seeking to report and expose the corruption that was continuing to inflict great harm upon major national interests, and in some areas, were deadly to the victims.
When Stich exercised the specific state remedies for the violations--exercising legal and constitutional due process--California judges repeatedly retaliated, ordering Stich to pay tens of thousands of dollars in financial sanctions to the CIA-front law firm.
The Frivolous Tactic to Deny Due Process
In addition, they charged Stich with frivolous defense filings when he exercised the due process defenses. This was the start of California and federal judges reversing the legal and common-sense definition of the term, frivolous. They repeatedly refused to issue findings of facts and conclusions of law that were legally required, and which would have exposed the massive violations of law and the massive violations of procedural due process.
The frivolous label was also applied in other lawsuits in which Stich sought to report the criminal activities to a federal court--as required to be reported by the specific wording of the federal crime reporting statute:
Simultaneously Seeking to Report Criminal Activities to Federal Judges While Federal Judges Aiding the Sham CIA-Front Law Firm
Charging Stich 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.
Charging Stich with criminal contempt of court for reporting federal crimes to a federal judges, as required to be reported by federal crime reporting statute, Title 18 U.S.C. Section 4, reporting federal crimes to a federal judge. This is a criminal act under Title 18 U.S.C. Sections 1503, 1512, and 1513, and indirectly a criminal act associated with obstruction of justice, misprision of felonies, aiding and abetting, and becoming guilty as an accomplice.
Forcing Stich to seek refuge in Chapter 11 courts from the gross violations of federally protected rights.
Corruptly seizing Stich's life's assets while enlarging upon the earlier violations of federally protected rights. The violations associated with the taking of Stich's $10 million in real estate assets included absence of jurisdiction; absence of noticed hearing; absence of hearing; absence of legally recognized basis for taking a person's property; pattern of fraud upon the court and upon Stich.
This lawsuit would be authorized by the following federal laws: Civil Rights Act; Bivens; RICO; torts involving diversified jurisdictions, and the statutory and constitutional right to federal court access for obtaining relief guaranteed by the laws and Constitution of the United States.
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.
Further Details
The bizarre lawsuit filed by the CIA-front law firm used a tactic that permitted immediate seizure of Stich's assets. It was filed as a "divorce" action, even though Stich had been divorced for 20 years, and the 1966 divorce judgment was entered as a local judgment in the states of Nevada, Oklahoma, Texas, and the California counties of Contra Costa and Solano.(1) Further, both parties had been identifying themselves as divorced for the prior two decades in real estate and other legal transactions transactions.
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.
Participation of Federal Judges in the Scheme
- Lis pendens were filed on Stich's extensive real estate holding, depriving him access to the funds, and causing repeated loss of valuable properties when mortgaged came due and the Friedman lawyers prevented the mortgages from being replaced.
Major Federal Remedies and Defenses Existed In Federal Law
- 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.
Misuse of Courts to Block Reports and to Retaliate for Attempts to Expose Criminal Activities, Including Those Enabling the Events of 9/11
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.
At a later date, as the evidence mounted, Stich realized that the sham lawsuit was a parallel effort to end his exposure of high-level corruption in government offices.
The continuing consequences of the corruption and catastrophic aviation disasters, after Stich left government service, caused him to go public in an attempt to make the information known and motivate people to take some form of corrective actions. In 1978, he published the first of several editions of Unfriendly Skies.
In addition to publishing informational books Stich appeared as guest and expert on radio and television shows, reporting what he and other government agents had discovered. To this day he has appeared on over 3,000 shows.
- In 1981, Stich's second edition of Unfriendly Skies revealed the names of federal judges and Supreme Court justices who blocked the exposure of the corrupt activities and described a number of airline disasters made possible by the coverups. The book, and Stich's subsequent radio and TV appearances, threatened to expose this powerful segment of government power.
- 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.

The attorneys for the CIA-front law firm claimed that their client, Emma Stich of Duncanville, Texas, wanted a divorce and claimed community property status of all of Stich's personal and corporate assets. (Not only did the prior divorce judgment hold that there was no community assets; that neither party had any claim on the other person's property, but all of Stich's assets were acquired years after the 1964 separation in Colorado and 1966 divorce. Neither of the parties lived in California during the time of the separation and divorce, and California judges had no jurisdiction over Stich in a marriage termination action once a divorce judgment was rendered by another jurisdiction.
However, the San Francisco law firm and attorneys of Friedman, Sloan and Ross, reported by two reliable sources as a front for the CIA and the FBI, filed a lawsuit that was barred by dozens of California statutes and rules of court, by the federal full faith and credit statute and constitutional clause, and by other constitutional protections.
They placed a "dissolution of marriage " label on the cause of action, stating their Texas client wanted to terminate the marriage and that all of Stich's personal and corporate assets were community.
Normally, the lawsuit would have been promptly dismissed, as required by California law, as there was no personal and no subject matter jurisdiction under the Family Law Act because of the absence of a legal marital relationship (the parties hadn't seen each other for the prior 20 years) and the existence of seven divorce judgments, each of which had to be recognized under California law, under federal laws and constitutional provisions, and under the laws of prior states of residence.
Whoever was behind the scheme insured that California and then federal judges protected the scheme and the parties involved in it. The following is a list of the laws and constitutional protections that were repeatedly violated by nine California judges and numerous federal judges.
The California lawsuit falsely stated that Stich was married to a Texas resident, that she wanted a divorce, and that all of Stich's personal and corporate assets were community. By putting that label on the sham lawsuit, lis pendens were filed on all of Stich's real estate properties that funded his exposure of corrupt activities that had been resulting in catastrophic harm in the aviation area and in other areas of national interest.
Judicial records showed that Stich and his former wife were divorced 20 years earlier in an amicable divorce proceeding, and that the 1966 divorce judgment had been entered as a local judgment in the states of Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas, Nevada, and California. Further, both parties had been declaring themselves divorced in real estate transactions during this period.
California law, the laws of prior states of residence, and federal statutory and case law, and constitutional rights, require that all state courts must recognize these judgments and the rights and obligations stated in them. These laws were repeatedly violated by California and federal judges, as was the fact that Stich's former wife continued to declare herself divorced in Texas while the CIA-front law firm was claiming that she wanted a divorce.
Among the blowback or Butterfly Effect of these violations were the continuation of the conditions associated with the corruption that enabled four groups of hijackers to seize four airliners on 9-11.
The 20-year continuous series of civil rights violations judicially perpetrated started out with a bizarre lawsuit that was mislabeled in such a way that Stich's assets could be immediately attached and he be denied access to them. There are two legal ways to immediately gain control of assets: in a probate action, or a divorce action.
Stich wasn't dead, so a probate action was out of order.
Stich wasn't married to support a divorce action with community property claims on his assets. He had been divorced for 20 years from a woman living in Duncanville, Texas.
