Politics of aviation safety and a history of related airline disasters.

<body> Thumbnail on Unusual Background Captain Rodney Stich has an unusual background: He joined the U.S. Navy in 1940, a year prior to the Japanese attack upon Pearl Harbor, and became a Navy pilot during World War II. At the age of 20, he was an instructor in advance PBY Catalina seaplanes (Black Cats) and at the age of 21, he was the youngest Patrol Plane Commander in the Navy during World War II, flying their most advanced four-engine patrol planes. After the war, he flew for many years as an airline captain, including one of the first pilots for Japan Airlines, holding one of the first Airline Transport Pilot licenses issued by Japan, number 170. During this period, some of his copilots were former Japanese war pilots, creating a situation where pilots from both sides of the war shared the same cockpit. When his airline went bankrupt, he became a federal airline safety inspector-investigator, given the assignment to correct the conditions that at that time were responsible for the worst series of airline disasters in the nation's history. He left the FAA after discovering a corrupt culture responsible for a continuing series of airline crashes, and became a successful real estate developer and investor, pyramiding a $500 investment into $10 million by the time corrupt judges seized his assets seeking to silence him). Those assets are now worth about $17 million. Seeking to expose and halt the corruption that he and his coalition of other former government agents and insiders discovered, he authored 19 books on government corruption. He has appeared as guest and expert on over 3,000 radio and TV shows since 1978. Over the years he became a confidant to several dozen other former government agents, former drug smugglers working in covert government operations, and former Mafia sources. Since 1964, he has been an activist aggressively fighting a one-man David vs. Goliath battle seeking to expose and halt the corruption related to years of tragic, sometimes deadly, and sometimes catastrophic, events. Seeking to silence him, he had become the target of multiple sham lawsuits by a hoard of over 50 lawyers and law firms from 1982 to 2005, seeking to halt his exposure of high level corruption related to a series of continuing aviation disasters and other criminal activities that he and his coalition of other former government agents and insiders had discovered. Concurrent with the legal attacks by lawyers, he became a target for repeated acts by federal judges seeking to halt his exposure activities, joined by Department of Justice employees. The legal definition of a conspiracy involved many members of the legal-judicial fraternity. That conspiracy continued the corruption, which enabled a continuing occurrence of great harm to innocent people and enabling a series of successful terrorist attacks. Discovery of Intrigue Unknown to Most People Starting with his assignment to correct the corrupt conditions responsible for the worst series of airline disasters in the nation's history, and continuing to this day, Stich and his coalition discovered endemic corruption, related to multiple areas of great harm, sometimes deaths, and sometimes, catastrophic events. A sampling of links provides more details: Corruption in the government's aviation safety offices responsible for years of aviation disasters, the latest in the series being the hijackings of four airliners on 9/11. Criminal activities in other areas of overt and covert government operations. The criminal cover-ups by federal judges as Stich sought to report the ongoing corruption, as required by the federal crime reporting statute. The hoard of lawyers filing sham legal attacking that had as the primary intent halting the reporting of the criminal activities. The years of cover-ups by members of Congress, who repeatedly refused to act when a multiple of ongoing criminal activities were brought to their attention from 1966 to the present date. Under Continuous Attacks by Lawyers And Judges, With Single Goal: Halt Stich's Exposure Activities Starting in 1982, and continuing at this time, over 100 lawyers, law firms, California and federal judges, misused the courts, repeatedly violating state and federal laws and constitutional protections. violating criminal statutes, trying to silence Stich. Several of the previously uploaded pages referring to these attacks are listed here: Sequence of the attacks. Sequence of the legal attacks.

The latest attempt by Pasadena lawyer Guerrini to seize the books before the public learns of the corruption. Sampling of Aviation Disasters in Areas Where Stich Had Government Airline Safety Responsibilities The following are a sampling of the airline disasters in programs for which Stich has hands-on airline safety responsibilities. These crashes were enabled to occur by a deep-seated pattern of safety corruption that Stich discovered during his official duties and which he sought to correct. These efforts led to the discovery of other areas of corruption. The efforts by him to expose what he and his coalition of other insiders had discovered led to decades of brutal attacks upon him, causing his to suffer serious personal and financial harm. He was corruptly stripped of his life assets in an attempt to halt the exposure activities that were funded by these assets. Several of the nation's most catastrophic airline disasters occurred on the program for which he had direct responsibility as an FAA air carrier operations inspector. Continuation of Catastrophic Events Enabled by Corruption That Stich Sought to Report and Halt Over a period of many years, Stich and his coalition discovered other areas of corruption. The combination of what he discovered, the constant cover-ups of these matters when he reported the problems to people in government, and the retaliation against him, all played a role in the continuation of the conditions that made the following sampling of consequences possible. TWA Flight 800, departing a New York City airport was downed, shortly thereafter. Strong Suspicion of Terrorist Act. See the book, Unfriendly Skies: 20th & 21st Centuries. This link provides information on 100 surface-to-air missiles being made available to Middle East terrorists about one year before the downing of TWA Flight 800; the rejection of the missiles by FBI-CIA personnel, and the letters written by former federal agent Rodney Stich to members of Congress seeking to prevent the transfer of the missiles. No response−followed by the missile downing of TWA Flight 800. Followed by the need for the standard cover-up to protect high-level government personnel. Additional FBI Enablers To Downing of TWA Flight 800 In a recent book, Crimes of the FBI-DOJ, and the Mafia, details are given of how a Mafia soldier acted as a mole inside the al Qaeda cell headed by Ramzi Yousef, who directed the earlier bombing of the World Trade Center and had plans to simultaneously bomb 11 U.S. airliners departing Far East locations. The advance warnings were disregarded by high FBI-DOJ personnel who sacrificed the lives that would be lost so as to protect personnel in the Department of Justice. Very sensitive information, that would also play a role in ignoring the warnings of planned terrorist attacks on other U.S. targets. That cover-up enabled to occur approximately 4,000 deaths as the forewarned terrorist attacks occurred. Advance Notice of Bombings of U.S. Embassies in Africa FBI-DOJ personnel were given advance notice of the bombing of two U.S. embassies in Africa by a mole inside the al Qaeda cell headed by Ramzi Yousef. One was in Kenya and another in Tanzania.

Much more at www.defraudingamerica..com His Loyal and Constant Companion Helped Him Survive Constant Attacks Throughout a great part of the traumatic attacks upon Stich, he had one very loyal companion, his only loyal companion. He was also physical protection when several of Stich's sources of information were killed or found dead under mysterious circumstances. That companion was Midas, his German Shepherd. After over ten years of companionship, which provided considerable support to Stich during great personal and financial losses, Midas passed away on April 3, 1997. Unless one had that kind of relationship with a near-human-like four-legged creature, during such difficult times, that bond may be difficult to understand. At Midas' death, grief-stricken Stich wrote a short memorial for Midas: Good bye, old pal, you've been my closest and most faithful companion for the past ten years, sticking with me through very difficult times. I will always remember my German Shepherd, Midas. Your loving friend, Rodney. Most Loyal Friend, When Others Scattered No one can imagine the personal and financial harm that was inflicted continuously, day after day, for many years, upon Stich in an attempt to keep him from exposing the corruption he and his many other insiders sought to report and correct. His friends scattered, afraid to be associated with him. But he had one loyal companion throughout this period, who recognized his feelings, his stress, and his tears: A more personal description of Captain Rodney Stich's background. Nearing the End of the Twilight Years Now nearing the age of 90, nearing the end of his life, Stich continues the fight against the arrogance and corruption in government, and the legal attacks from the legal fraternity that continues its efforts to silence him. He faces an uglier enemy than any he faced in World War II. On April 11, 2009, Stich was 86 years young−and still fighting the impossible quest! At his funeral, Stich would like to have played, The Impossible Dream from the movie, Man of La Mancha: To dream the impossible dream, To fight the unbeatable foe, To bear with unbearable sorrow, To run where the brave dare not go, To right the unrightable wrong, To love pure and chaste from afar, To try when your arms are too weary, To reach the unreachable star, This is my quest, To follow that star, No matter how hopeless, No matter how far, To fight for the right, Without question or pause, To be willing to march into Hell For a heavenly cause, And I know if I'll only be true, to this glorious quest, That my heart will lie peaceful and calm, When I'm laid to my rest, And the world will be better for this, That one man, scorned and covered with scars, Still strove with his last ounce of courage, To reach the unreachable star. Corny, maybe, but that is how he wants to believe that life can be. Food For Thought It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." Theodore Roosevelt. "Citizenship in a Republic," Speech at the Sorbonne, Paris, April 23, 1910.
