Secret Obstruction of Justice Schemes Leading to Major National Tragedies Years of legal tactics by lawyers and judges blocking the reporting and exposing of deadly corruption in government operations as it related initially to a series of fatal airline disasters. Legal and judicial tactics to prevent government insiders from reporting corrupt activities that were responsible for major harm to national interest. Years of legal and judicial efforts to cover up for the corrupt activities in certain government offices that were responsible for the conditions that allowed terrorists to hijack four airliners on 9/11. And those consequences were only one-day's consequences among many others covering many years. Legal schemes to prevent reporting and exposing high level corruption in government offices, and the continuing deadly and other harmful consequences of the legal and judicial tactics. Details about how courageous government insiders had suffered great harm from efforts to silence them. One instance refers to a former highly decorated Lt. Col in Vietnam, who became an FBI agent, and who ended up in prison to silence him. He was attempting to report the criminal activities involving CIA personnel and White House officials involved in secretly funding and arming Iraq during the 1980s, and who sought to expose the misconduct of his FBI supervisor, Lindley DeVecchio. DeVecchio has been charged with four murders in 2006, information that the former FBI agent, Richard Taus, sought to expose years earlier. The complicity of Supreme Court Justices in covering up the corrupt activities that were seriously harming national security, and even how the misconduct of the justices played a role in continuing the corruption in certain government offices that made the 9/11 hijackings possible. Details of federal judges repeatedly blocking the reporting of federal crimes. Title 18 U.S.C. Section 4 provides that anyone knowing of a federal crime must report it to a federal judge or other federal official. A judge must then receive such report as part of his or her mandatory administrative duties rather than discretionary judicial duties. This refusal to receive information of federal crimes is a criminal act under the obstruction of justice statutes, and made possible repeated harm to matters of national security. When properly understand, it will be seen that the obstruction of justice by federal judges continued the corruption in the government's aviation safety offices that made possible the hijackings of four airliners on 9/11, and by covering up the corruption in the FBI and CIA, the judges caused to be continued the corruption in these two agencies that blocked action when evidence of the hijacking plot became known. Federal judges retaliation against a former federal agent for attempting to report federal crimes occurring in high government offices. This retaliation constitution federal crimes. Legal corruption in the FAA, which is extensively documented in the books, Unfriendly Skies: 20th & 21st Centuries, and to a lesser extent in Blowback, 9/11, and Cover-Ups. This legal corruption played key roles in a long series of fatal airline disasters, with ripple effects on the 9/11 hijackings of four airliners. It shows how lawyers in the FAA covered up for corrupt and criminal activities that had already played key roles in several prior fatal airline disasters, and how such cover-ups made possible the continuation of the fraud-related crashes. Details of lawsuits filed seeking to report criminal activities responsible for a continuing series of fatal airline disasters. Details of lawsuit filed shortly before 9/11, attempting to report the corruption in the government's aviation safety offices that enabled terrorists to highjack four airliners on 9/11; and attempting to report the corruption in the FBI and CIA that later played key roles in the refusal to act on evidence of the hijacking scheme. Details of lawsuit filed after 9/11, attempting to report these matters, and the details of how federal judges and Supreme Court Justices continued their cover-ups of these matters, including their prior involvements in the cover-ups that contributed to the 9/11 hijackings. The efforts of one former federal agent to report the corruption in high government places, and the efforts to silence him. The actions of federal prosecutors and federal judges to silence that former federal agent by sending him to prison on sham charges. How the corruption in the bankruptcy courts was used by lawyers and judges to strip a former government agent of the $10 million in assets that he used to fund his exposure activities, and how the ripple effects from these corrupt actions made the hijackings on 9/11 possible, along with the 3,000 deaths. Details about a lawsuit against federal judges, filed on the basis of their felony cover-ups and felony retaliation. Details about a lawsuit against certain members of Congress, filed on the basis of their cover-ups of high-level corruption. Details about a lawsuit against Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court, filed on the basis of their cover-ups of high-level corruption and the felony obstruction of justice and felony retaliation actions of federal judges over whom they had supervisory responsibilities.
