Those Responsible for 3,000 Deaths Have Gone Unpunished This is an attempt by former government agents to inform those few people capable of being informed, and capable of showing an interest, in insider information showing how the people have been duped by people in control of key government offices, and the price paid during the last half century. These food-for-though comments relates to the area of primary blame for 9/11. Despite considerable attention to this area, the primary areas have not been touched. These matters have been carefully kept from the American people by people in control of the system, in the three branches of government, just as many other areas of corruption and related tragedies over the past few decades have been kept secret. The comments in this "food-for-thought" issue brings in a little-understood--but immensely important--issue: that of the ripple effect from matters far removed to the actual event that enabled the tragedy to occur. Other definitions would be the blowback or "butterfly effect." Understand this relationship and the start of events relating to great tragedies can be recognized. Simple as this is, it doesn't seem to be understood by most people. Sampling of links related to 9/11 at www.defraudingamerica.com home page: Index of 9/11 matters. 9/11 enablers that made possible the easily prevented 9/11 hijackings. Comparison of blame as enablers of the 9/11 hijackers. Advance information received by FBI-DOJ personnel from mole in key al Qaeda terrorist cell that was withheld so as to protect a key FBI supervisor from being charged with series of murders involving key Mafia capo in New York City. Consider the sequences: Four groups of terrorists were able to board four different airliners, enter the aircraft cockpits in flight, and take control of the aircraft. These takeovers were made possible by documented corruption far removed from the actual events. The hijackings, of course, led to the Bush administration ordering carpet bombing of Afghanistan and the invasion of Iraq. What then followed were: The deaths of tens of thousands of Iraq men, women, children and infants. Deaths and maiming of thousands of U.S. military personnel and other members of the invading and occupying forces. Worldwide hatred for Americans throughout the world. Explosive growth in people wanting to kill Americans. Financial costs that stagger the imagination, and that will surely doom many social programs. Catastrophic events that have yet to occur and will continue long after the people that started it in the White House, or those who enabled the events to occur, have been long gone. Consider the people that created the conditions enabling terrorists to hijack four airliners. Without their misconduct, the known measures to prevent decades of airliner hijackings could have been implemented years earlier, and certainly during the several years prior to 9/11 that it was known terrorists were planning to hijack U.S. airliners. The responsibility for preventing airliner hijackings were not the people in the FBI and CIA. The clear responsibility was with the people in the government's aviation safety offices, and primarily the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). It is incomprehensible that this simple fact is not recognized. Members of Congress have carefully circumvented this area. And there is a reason. Some were implicated in covering up for the deep-seated problems that were responsible for decades of easily preventable airline disasters and other America tragedies. The details can be found in the 4th edition of Unfriendly Skies, in Blowback, 9/11, and Cover-Ups, and other books written by former government agent Rodney Stich and his group of insiders. 9/11 Commission members, who diverted attention away from the primary areas of blame for the hijackings, which obviously were the people in the government's aviation safety offices that had the responsibility, the knowledge, and 50 years of prior warnings, and whose arrogance and corruption blocked the implementation of the known preventative measures. (Details in Unfriendly Skies: 20th and 21st Centuries.) Also, who covered up for the history of corruption in the FBI and CIA that obviously affected the roles of intelligence gathering and acting on known intelligence. The culture and misconduct in the FAA and other government aviation safety offices were reported and documented in official government records, federal court filings, and in letters to members of Congress. This misconduct created the conditions that enabled four groups of terrorists to enter the airline cockpits on 9/11; and also blocked for decades known safety problems that resulted in many otherwise preventable airline disasters. This area is the first that must be understand to understand the far-reaching ripple effects, the blowback consequences, that caused the 3,000 deaths on 9/11--and many other deaths. The next layer of blame includes people in key positions that knew of the deadly culture and covered up for it. Members of Congress. Government insiders, including FAA inspector-investigator Rodney Stich, repeatedly brought the corruption and the continuing consequences to their attention. This included specific airline disasters occurring in the immediate area of federal air safety responsibilities of Rodney Stich. The reaction? The most outstanding trait in the United States: cover-up! This cover-up and obstruction of justice continued even after the events of 9/11. Federal judges. Former FAA inspector Rodney Stich sought to circumvent the widespread cover-ups to report the criminal activities to federal judges via reports under the federal crime reporting statute and the statute permitting anyone to seek a court order halting corruption of government officials. During a 20-year period, Stich and a group of other former government agents filed actions in federal courts to report the corrupt and criminal activities, starting with those in the government's aviation safety offices (that made 9/11 possible), and then the corruption in the CIA, FBI and Department of Justice (that had a secondary role of blame for 9/11). These agents also sought to report other criminal activities, including drug smuggling into the United States by people in the CIA, most of which are detailed in Defrauding America and other books by Rodney Stich. These matters continue to constitute a greater threat and source of actual harm to Americans than the terrorists, and are not receiving the attention by thoughtful Americans that they deserve. Repeatedly, federal judges blocked the reports of criminal activities that they were required to receive as part of their administrative duties. This refusal to allow the information of criminal and even subversive activities to be reported constituted repeated obstruction of justice. Over a period of years, federal judges issued unconstitutional and unlawful orders barring former government agent Rodney Stich from ever filing any papers in federal courts, which acted to prevent him and his group of other government agents from reporting the criminal activities that they had discovered in various government offices and in covert operations. Compounding these corrupt and criminal judicial acts, federal judges and Department of Justice prosecutors charged former government agent Rodney Stich with criminal contempt of court for attempting to report additional criminal activities that later made 9/11 possible, another ripple effect. Department of Justice personnel repeatedly covered up for the deadly misconduct when notified by government insiders. In an attempt to keep these criminal matters from being reported, Department of Justice officials charged one government agent, Rodney Stich, with criminal contempt of court and sentenced him to six months in feder4al prison after Stich filed a federal action seeking to report the federal crimes under two federal statutes permitting and requiring such reports. This DOJ cover-up and obstruction of justice was first discovered by Stich while he was a government agent and then continued over many years. An understanding of DOJ and FBI corruption in other areas makes it easier to understand the corrupt culture that exists in the government agent. Cover-ups by 9/11 Commission. Government agents, especially Rodney Stich who held a key hands-on aviation safety position in the FAA--the area of primary blame for the conditions allowing terrorists to hijack four airliners on 9/11--tried to provide evidence showing the culture in the government's aviation safety offices that created the conditions enabling terrorists to hijack four airliners on 9/11. The commission members repeatedly blocked this testimony and evidence from being made part of the record, thereby continuing the decades of cover-ups and obstruction of justice. More information along these lines is at various web sites including an index of 9/11 information. Continuing Judicial Cover-Ups and Obstruction of Justice. Just as federal judges blocked the reporting of corrupt and criminal matters prior to 9/11, they then continued the cover-ups, if for no other reason than to protect their own criminal complicity. Lawyers and Law Firms. Lawyers and law firms were involved over the years in the multiple schemes undertaken to prevent Stich and his group of other insiders from revealing the extent of corruption in government offices to the people. Their roles are described in Stich's Defrauding America, Unfriendly Skies, and Lawyers and Judges: American Trojan Horses. The intrigue associated with 9/11 and the many other areas of misconduct that continue to threaten and harm Americans is far more complicated than stated here, and is revealed in the various books written by former government agent Rodney Stich with input from dozens of other insiders over a period of many years. Like no other books, these books written by government insiders in easy-to-understand language helps to show a much larger picture of the extend of the corruption facing the American people. It is important to recognize that for various reasons the people in control of the system will not, repeat, will not, halt this corruption. Anyone who tries will be quickly discredited. The public. Despite many books written by many professional government insiders, despite thousands of radio and television appearances, the system hasn't changed. Today, more of the active adults were not aware of the pattern of corruption in government, and can be expected to do nothing---as with their predecessors. They become part of the blame for what is becoming increasingly more dangerous, harmful, and very possibly, catastrophic for the people of the United States. The books, therefore, help to show what the indifference has brought about in the past, and the far worse tragedies waiting for them in the future.

Sampling of Early Consequences TWA Flight 800 U.S. Embassy Bombings 9/11 Easily-Preventable Multiple Hijackings These few examples of the horrors associated with airline disasters enabled to occur by documented corruption withheld from the American people. The standard culture of cover-ups in the United States enabled the corruption, cover-ups, to mutate into different areas. In the aviation area, although the continuing series of airline disasters eventually came to a halt for other reasons, the culture continued, and enabled to occur a number of easily preventable airline disasters. The inbred culture created the conditions that enabled four groups of terrorists to easily hijack four airliners within a few hours of each other and kill nearly 3,000 people. One of Over 200 Victims Choosing This Way to Die— Made Possible by Many Enablers in United States Consequences of Corruption, Cover-Ups, And Retaliation Felonies Not Limited to Aviation There were many other forms of victims from the systemic high-level corruption. These included for instance victims of the: Department of Justice prosecutorial misconduct, people being falsely charges with crimes in order to improve the prosecutors' career. The explosion of violent crime related to drug smuggling into the United States, in which CIA assets were major players. Series of financial frauds appearing every few years, with the latest housing and financial implosions surfacing in 2008. Seizure of assets from innocent people. And many other forms. These offenses are described in the books written by insiders. 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. Harm to People Overseas From Culture Of High-Level Corruption and Lies in the United States In addition to the decades of harm resulting from the systemic corruption of key people and groups in the U.S. government, affecting aviation safety, financial, human rights, in the United States, there is the harm from outside sources brought about by the actions of U.S. politicians affecting people in other countries—such as the history of invading and killing foreigners—there are the successful "terrorist" attacks made possible by high-level corruption, and then there are the foreigners who are also victims from the same high-level corruption that adversely affects the American, but in a different form. Remains of a girl—about the age of the 9-year-old Killed in Tucson in January 2011. In criminal law, people are accomplices, and guilty, if they know of a criminal act and fail to report it to proper authorities and also to take efforts within their capability to halt their continuation. And there are endless numbers of accomplices that are complicit in these crimes and enablers of the consequences. Suggestion to people outside the United States.

Help to protect yourselves against the decades of ham inflicted upon people of other countries by the actions of U.S. politicians—supported by much of the American public. Examples: Serial lying by U.S. politicians to use as a pretense to invade Iraq and Afghanistan, killing tens of thousands of innocent people. U.S. politicians shifting enabling blame from their own corrupt actions that encouraged and enabled four groups of terrorists to simultaneously hijack four airliners, and shift the blame to the people of Iraq and Afghanistan—with the help of a dumbed-down American public that is mostly too lazy to learn the truth.
