Federal Crime Reporting Statute The federal offense of failure to disclose a felony, if coupled with some act concealing the felony, such as suppression of evidence, harboring or protecting the person performing the felony, intimidation or harming a witness, or any other act designed to conceal from authorities the fact that a crime has been committed. Title 18 U.S.C. § 4. Misprision of felony. Whoever, having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony cognizable by a court of the United States, conceals and does not as soon as possible make known the same to some judge or other person in civil or military authority under the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both. A federal judge, or any other government official, is required as part of the judge's mandatory administrative duties, to receive any offer of information of a federal crime. If that judge blocks such report, that block is a felony under related obstruction of justice statutes, and constitutes a serious offense. Upon receiving such information, the judge is then required to make it known to a government law enforcement body that is not themselves involved in the federal crime. Misprision of a Felony Misprision of a felony is the offense of failure to inform government authorities of a felony that a person knows about. A person commits the crime of misprision of a felony if that person: Knows of a federal crime that the person has witnessed or that has come to the person's attention, or failed to prevent. Fails to report it to a federal judge or other federal official (who is not thems4elves involved in the crime). Top Government Personnel Repeatedly Violating Crime Reporting Statute For over 40 years, former federal agent Rodney Stich has attempted to report the continuing corruption in the government's aviation safety offices related to a series of continuing aviation disasters, and of criminal activities inflicting great harm upon the American people and upon the United States, to: Federal judges Supreme Court Justices. In every instance, the judges and Justices blocked the reporting of the federal crimes. They became enablers to subsequent tragic, sometimes, deadly, and sometimes catastrophic events. Repeated Misprision of Felony Crimes by America's "Leaders" Overwhelming evidence exists at this site and in the related books of repeated misprision of felony crimes by people in key government positions. These include, for instance: Members of Congress that had been repeatedly informed by present and former government agents and others of continuing federal crimes. Employees of the U.S. Department of Justice, and other government departments. Media people and media corporations. Lawyers who compounded the obstruction of justice with sham legal attacks paralleling the obstruction of justice tactics by federal judges and Department of Justice employees. Media people and media corporations. One hundred percent cover-up, year after year, suggesting control by a source high in government, and probably the people in control of the political U.S. Department of Justice. Another Federal Statute for Reporting Corruption in Government Another federal statute exists for reporting high-level corruption in government: Title 28 U.S.C. § 1361. Action to compel an officer of the United States to perform his duty. The district courts shall have original jurisdiction of any action in the nature of mandamus to compel an officer or employee of the United States or any agency thereof to perform a duty owed to the plaintiff. This federal statute permits any citizen to file a lawsuit in the federal courts to obtain a court order requiring a federal official to perform a mandatory duty and to halt unlawful acts. This statute is Title 28 U.S.C. § 1361. These two statutes are among the most powerful tools in the hands of the people, even a single person, to report corrupt and criminal activities by federal officials−including federal judges−and to circumvent the blocks by those in key positions in the three branches of government. That statute was also repeatedly blocked by federal judges and Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court. Sampling of Known Prior Aviation Disasters Each of the many people who blocked the reporting of the ongoing corruption that were resulting in an continuing series of aviation disasters and other events made possible from the corruption knew of this relationship, and what they conduct would enable to continue. Most of the above catastrophic events occurred on the program for which FAA air carrier operations inspector Rodney Stich had been given the assignment to correct the conditions responsible for the worst series of airline disasters in the nation's history. Pictures of many other crashes are not shown. Catastrophic Consequences Made Possible By Misprision of Felonies And Obstruction of Justice Crimes The continuation of the culture of corruption−and the continuation of the cover-ups−made many people and groups enablers of many subsequent airline disasters. The following aviation disasters occurred after forewarned information of the terrorist attacks were given to FBI agents by a mole inside a key al Qaeda cell: 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. Results of the hijackings of U.S. airliners occurring on September 11, 2001.September 11, 2001 Forewarned Terrorist Attacks Details about the FBI-DOJ cover-ups and the contacts between the al Qaeda operative and Gregory Scarpa Jr. can be found in the book, Crimes of the FBI-DOJ, and the Mafia, available in print and e-book formats from amazon.com (and in Kimble) and other sources. The decades of preventable airline disasters and their enablers are described and documented in the book, Unfriendly Skies: 20th & 21st Centuries. More information on the enablers to those catastrophic events: 9/11 index. Information provided by a mole inside the al Qaeda cell headed by infamous Ramzi Yousef on the planned terrorist attack, information that was then "deep-sixth" by high-level FBI-DOJ personnel. Absence of preventative measures resulted in nearly 4,000 deaths. Comparative blame for 9/11 between Afghanistan, Iraq, and the documented conduct of enablers in the United States. 9/11 enablers. American Airlines Flight 587 (Strong indications of Terrorist Action) Consequences Not Limited To Aviation Matters Corruption of the Type Described at this site does not occur in a vacuum. High-level corruption in one area is simply one tentacle of a widespread culture of corruption. And the consequences of that corruption−and the endemic cover-ups−have consequences in other areas. The culture of corruption affects the people and the nation in many other ways, That includes the latest series of financial frauds that has occurred in the housing and financial sectors. Also, the effect of the endemic corruption and endemic cover-ups−major parts of the culture in the United States−that enablers successful terrorist attacks upon U.S. interests.
