Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy
Another Enabler of Great American Tragedies

To properly understand this page requires an understanding of prior events. Briefly, addressing one small area of prior events, former federal agent Rodney Stich and his coalition of former intelligence, law enforcement, and aviation safety personnel had attempted to report high-level corruption in overt and covert operations, especially in the government aviation safety offices associated with a series of prior aviation disasters, and in the various divisions of the U.S. Department of Justice. The severity of the corruption was resulting in great harm to national interests, and which were federal crimes.

Stich sought to circumvent the systemic cover-ups by reporting the serious and ongoing federal offenses to a federal judge as required by the federal crime reporting statute and as permitted—and expected—of any citizen to do. Federal judges repeatedly blocked the attempt to report and provide evidence of the criminal activities and numerous federal judges had issued unlawful and unconstitutional orders barring Stich, for the remainder of his life, from filing any papers in any federal district and appellate court. The obvious intent was to block these reports of criminal activities in high positions and also to prevent Stich from exercising federal defense remedies to halt the harm arising from a series of legal and judicial actions that were parallel efforts to silence him.

Criminal Contempt of Court Charges For
Reporting High-Level Corruption

In the aviation sector, the corruption was resulting in a continuing series of aviation disasters and deaths, which were consequences that required continued efforts. These continued efforts resulted in federal judges and Department of justice prosecutors charging the former federal agent with criminal contempt of court charge. That charge arose from exercising the legal and moral responsibility to report the deadly corruption versus the many unlawful, unconstitutional orders barring him from making such reports. In effect, the former federal agent was being chaqrg3ed and tried by two groups that were themselves criminally implicated in the federal crimes by their cover-ups.

These two groups then denied the former federal agent the right to a jury trial, making it a Kangaroo court, and sentenced him to six months in federal prison (which was carried out in the most violent manner possible, including the form of torture known as two months in solitary confinement. Stich was 68 years of age at that time, and had just recovered from quadruple coronary bypass surgery. Further, while in prison, federal judges and Department of Justice personnel, unlawfully seized and liquidated the $10 million in assets that funded his exposure activities.)

Stich filed an appeal with the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, and the appellate judges approved the most outrageous judicial conduct that had ever been brought before them. They approved the imprisonment that constituted prima facie evidence of felony retaliation for trying to report the federal crimes that he had discovered. They approved the obstruction of justice tactics, and the many other wrongful judicial acts. The implications of this judicial mindset were extremely serious. Without addressing a single issue that Stich raised in the appeal briefs, which they should have done, the Court of Appeals judges simply stated: "The judgment is affirmed."

That appellate court decision at San Francisco, issued shortly before Christmas 1987, was made by three judges, James R. Browning, Alex Kozinski, and Pamela Rymer. They turned down my appeal without addressing a single one of the many defenses that Stich raised. All of them already knew of the series of deadly aviation disasters that I had sought to report. One of the judges was on the appellate years earlier during the series of frequent aviation disasters when I first brought these matters to the court's attention in my lawsuit against the FAA. That was appellate judge James R. Browning. If he had ruled that reporting a federal crime was not a criminal contempt of court offense, his prior enabling conduct would have been exposed.

Seeking Relief From Federal Judge Anthony Kennedy

Stich was ordered to turn myself in on January 14, 1989. He had to act fast. Over the Christmas holidays he prepared a petition to Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals Justice Anthony Kennedy (before he became a Justice of the United States Supreme Court). Stich worked feverishly on Christmas Day to finish the petition for submission to Kennedy the following Monday.

Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy was complicit in documented judicial misconduct that enabled to continue a long line of corrupt activities in key government offices along with the adverse consequences, some of which were very deadly. Kennedy's misconduct, which started while he was a judge in the Ninth Circuit at San Francisco, included joining an ongoing series of actions intended to halt the exposure of deadly corruption that former federal agent Rodney Stich sought to expose.

The sequence of obstruction of justice tactics which Kennedy joined involved dozens of lawyers and judges, seeking to halt Stich and his group from reporting the corruption in high government offices that they had discovered. After Justice Department prosecutors and federal judges charged Stich with criminal contempt of court for filling a federal action seeking to report the criminal activities, and sentenced Stich to six months in federal prison, Stich brought this information to Judge Anthony Kennedy via a petition for emergency relief while Kennedy was still a judge in the Ninth Circuit at San Francisco.

The wording on this petition to Judge Kennedy was similar to the wording filed on October 5, 1987, with the Ninth Circuit court of appeals. (After Kennedy denied the stay, Stich was sent to federal prison, where he filed another request, which was granted. Stich was released, only to be returned t federal prison when his appeal was denied, including denial en banc by the entire 9th Circuit list of judges. The great numbers of federal judges implicated in the criminal cover-ups and criminal retaliation reveals the awesome extent of judicial corruption and judges complicit in the resulting consequences of the criminal activities.

Judge Kennedy was already involved in the corruption Stich sought to expose. Kennedy was on the appellate panel that heard Stich's prior appeal of the district court's dismissal of the 1974 federal action against the Federal Aviation Administration. Kennedy knew the consequences of cover-up, as several major air tragedies associated with the air safety corruption followed his decision upholding the district court's dismissal of my action. That action sought to report to a federal court the federal crimes Stich discovered, as a federal investigator, at United Airlines and within the FAA that were associated with a series of air disasters.

After Justice Anthony Kennedy denied the emergency request, Stich filed a second motion for stay-pending-appeal with Judge Ramirez. When Stich appeared before Ramirez on February 16, 1988 on the motion, he delayed rendering a decision, continuing the matter until March 4th, 1988, the date Stich was to be imprisoned. Stich asked Ramirez to grant a continuance of the incarceration date to permit him to request a stay of the prison sentence pending appeal from the United States Court of Appeals, if he denied the motion. Ramirez assured Stich that he could request a stay from him on March 4th, implying that he would stay the sentence.

Kennedy had testified at great lengths during his televised Senate confirmation hearing for appointment to the Supreme Court, expressing repeated concerns for due process, constitutional safeguards, respect for privacy. Kennedy denied me relief. His conduct violated numerous criminal statutes, including obstruction of justice, aiding and abetting, accessory before and after the fact, misprision of felonies, fraud, conspiracy, and other crimes. The same applies to the other judges described within these pages.

At that time he had been nominated for Justice position on the U.S. Supreme Court. The U.S. Senate confirmed Kennedy for the Supreme Court position on February 3, 1988, and he was sworn in a few days later.

Urgent Appeal to Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court

Stich quickly filed a petition for writ of certiorari with the United States Supreme Court. In his written arguments, he raised the pattern of judicial suspension of civil rights and the criminal implications by Ninth Circuit judges, their obstruction of justice, their felony persecution of whistleblowers, and reminded the Supreme Court Justices of their supervisory responsibilities over these judges. Aiding and abetting these acts by judges over whom they had supervisory responsibilities, the Supreme Court Justices upheld this misconduct, becoming co-conspirators with the criminal acts that he sought to expose.

The problem was that the Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court were already complicit in the criminal activities, having been repeatedly informed through filings in the Supreme Court since 1978, and through frequent letters to the Justices themselves. If they were to act favorably on Stich's emergency petition for relief, they themselves risked being exposed. That same problem pertained to every other person or group that had been informed of these ultra serious national matters that involved repeated matters of life and death, they too would be exposed.

Again and Again—This Time Shortly Before 9/11—
Cavalier Contempt for the Consequences 

Letters to Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy (and the other Supreme Court Justices), January 2, 2001, sent to each of the Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court referring to documented pattern of corruption by federal judges in the West Coast's Ninth Circuit, which included a 20 year pattern of repeatedly blocking the reporting of criminal activities, judicial retaliation for attempting to make such reports that were required to be made under the federal crime reporting statute, and the involvement of numerous federal judges in a scheme to take Stich's $10 million in assets that funded his public-spirited exposure of criminal activities. That scheme required 20 years of uninterrupted violations of dozens of state and federal laws compounded by violations of every legal and constitutional due process defense guaranteed to all citizens. No response to these letters stating documented facts revealing major crimes against the United States, including those perpetrated by federal judges over whom they have supervisory responsibilities and vicarious liabilities. This non-response, the cover-up, the obstruction of justice, reflects the seriousness of the corruption against the people by those in control of the system. (MS Word) (Adobe PDF)

9/11—Continuation of Prior Enabling Consequences

The four groups of hijackers were able to easily hijack four airliners on September 11, 2001, because of the following corrupt conditions and groups, each of which were the exact areas of corrupt activities that former federal agent Rodney Stich had sought to halt through years of unprecedented efforts, and for which he was severely harmed by a coalition of corrupt lawyers, Department of Justice personnel, federal judges, all of whom were enabled by the repeated cover-ups consisting of members of Congress and the U.S. media:

• The primary and direct reason for the easy hijackings of the four airliners. The pattern of incompetence and corruption of people in control of the government's aviation safety agencies, primarily the  documented corruption in the Federal Aviation Administration (similar to that of people in other government agencies, but in the case of the FAA the consequences are horrific deaths for thousands of people).

  • Under normal conditions without the incompetence and corruption, FAA personnel would have acted on the decades of easily preventable airline hijackings and issued such orders as (a) no passenger cabin crew members to have keys to enter the cockpit (the means of entry into the cockpit by the hijackers); (b) cockpit doors to remain locked at all times when passengers are on board in flight; (c) stronger cockpit doors (but that is not believed to be how the hijackers gained entry into the cockpit of the four airliners; and (d) barring any form of cutting or stabbing device to be carried on board (which would have barred the carrying of the sharp four-inch knives used by the hijackers.

• Secondary blame for the hijackings involved the culture in the incompetence and corruption of key people in the FBI and other Department of Justice offices.

  •  The show of incompetence when FBI supervisors refused to act when FBI agents reported the suspicious activities of Middle East people taking flight training to fly airline-type aircraft.

  • The evidence of criminality shown by high-level Department of Justice officials "deep-sixing" highly critical advance notice of a series of planned al Qaeda terrorist attacks, which blocked preventative actions being taken. The reason for withholding the advance information was to avoid the prosecution of a key FBI supervisor involved in serial murders with a New York City Mafia capo.
