When High Needs Exist for the Presidency, Many Support the Extreme Opposite

On February 5, 2010, Sarah Palin gave a speech in Nashville before a Tea Party group. It again became obvious that she was totally unqualified for any government position dealing with significant national or international matters. When asked questions requiring a specific answer, she had to respond with an off-the-shelf response that consisted of generalities that did not answer the question, as she has repeatedly done in the past.

Her utter lack of competency, and lack of sophistication, requires that anyone in any way thinking or mentioning her as being qualified for vice-president or president of the United States to be equally lacking.  It is troubling that so many people think she is qualified. And also troubling that media people keep raising her name to provide support for someone they know to be unqualified and capable of doing great harm if she, or anyone else so short of knowledge and judgment, should ever be in the White House. 

Selecting her as a vice-president candidate reflects upon the intelligence and judgment of Senator John McCain as he ran for president of the United States against Barack Obama.

These are non-partisan comments by someone recognizing the need for at least, a level of intelligence and judgment to meet the most basic qualifications for office. We don't always have that, but Palin's inadequate knowledge and judgment is worse than some of those who previously ran for president.

Why U.S. Is Target For
Series of Terrorist Attacks

The United States is fighting an unwinnable war. It is trying to defend against the millions of people wanting to kill Americans, blindly−as usual−refusing to address the reasons why Americans−and secondarily its British allies−are the primary targets. A few points to keep in mind:

• With millions of people throughout the world wanting to kill Americans , and the unlimited targets throughout the world and the unlimited number of ways to attack those targets, the most that can be accomplished is to halt some of the attacks, while fear among Americans continue to spread.
   

• Among the targets and the methods of attacking the targets, are the following examples (that are already known to the terrorists:
   

  • Airline targets:
     

    • Bomb material sewed, or molded, into the side of carry-on baggage.
       

    • Bombs carried on board the aircraft in hand-carried bags, made easy by the FAA allowing huge bags that are difficult to check to be carried on board. Carry-on baggage should be limited to something the size of a toilet kit.
       

    • Bomb material sewed inside clothes that is difficult to detect.
       

    • Bombs placed on board various parts of an aircraft by any one of dozens of people having access to the aircraft, including maintenance personnel; service personnel; baggage handlers; baggage checkers, including those that routinely steal items from the bags they are checking for explosives; or unauthorized personnel.
       

    • Bombs placed in postal service boxes; commercial shipments carried on airliners;
       

    • Surface-to-air missiles from areas surrounding airports throughout the world, or even in the United States.
       

    • Biological weapons can be easily carried on board an aircraft, or placed in a compartment that allows the distribution of this form of weapon while the aircraft is in flight.
       

• Among the reasons that so many people want to kill Americans includes the following examples, all of them having been repeatedly stated by the terrorists themselves:
   

  • The initial and primary reasons include the U.S. arming and support of Israel's invasion and occupation of Arab land, and the years of brutality and murders by Israel against the people of the occupied territory.
     

  • The invasion of Iraq, which U.S. politicians sought support of uninformed constituents through a pattern of serial lying that worldwide, only they believed. Ignorance is not bliss!
     

  • Undermining foreign government, as the United States did in Iran in 1953. (Former federal agent Rodney Stich was in Iran the morning the revolution started.)
     

  •  U.S. military carpet bombing and missile strikes killing thousands of innocent Afghans.
     

  • U.S. mercenaries killing innocent people in Iraq with impunity.
     

  • Prior invasions of countries, such as Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Panama, the small island of Grenada, among others, on serial lying and/or arrogant dictation to people in those countries of the right to chose their particular type of government.
     

  • Renditions, rounding up people in foreign countries, sometimes for simply being in an area subjected to a U.S. sweep, and then being incarcerated for years without charges. Is it any surprise that many that are eventually released want to kill Americans!
     

• Suitcase Nuclear Bombs.
   

  • Numerous suitcase nuclear bombs were removed from Soviet Union arsenals, as described in the book, Defrauding America. These are easy to put into place, and the enormous damage done by any one such explosion in a large U.S. city can paralyze the entire nation with fear.

Similar Arrogance and Corruption Inflicted on Their Own Citizens

Millions of Americans are themselves victims of the arrogance and corruption by people in control of key government positions, aided and abetted by cover-ups involving members of Congress and most media personnel. But a combination of media and congressional cover-ups, the culture of ignorance about such matters by the trivia-obsessed American public, the unread masses or those reading mostly trivia, keeps them ignorant of what is being done to them by their own politicians. For instance:

• Housing frauds made possible by bribe taking members of Congress and government regulators.
   

• Repeated financial frauds made possible by members of Congress and government regulators. The 2008 financial crisis, the prior savings and loan, and others.
   

• Culture of filing false criminal charges against innocent people and then insuring long prison sentences using perjured testimony, false forensic or planted evidence.
   

• Asset seizure from innocent people, or people found innocent in criminal trials.
   

• Culture of corruption by judges and lawyers in the bankruptcy courts, corruptly seizing and liquidating the assets of people exercising the statutory protection of Chapter 11 to obtain extra time to pay financial obligations.
   

• Bribe-taking members of Congress legislating long prison sentences for minor offenses.
   

• Politicians lying to the public for support in starting wars that have killed over 100,000 U.S. military personnel and maimed many others. These wars include the invasion of Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Panama, Grenada, Iraq, Afghanistan. These show that the American people can be repeatedly lied to without any fear of being recognized for doing so.
   

• Tolerating decades of bribe-taking members of Congress allowing corporations to inflict great harm upon the people. Examples include credit card frauds, excessive bank charges, housing fraud as recently seen in the housing implosion; financial frauds, as seen by the latest that resulted in a financial meltdown;

• Ignoring decades of fraud-related aviation disasters brought to their attention by former FAA inspectors, with ripple effects in a series of easily-preventable aviation terrorist attacks.

Congress' Continued Ludicrous
Puppet-Like Performance At
State of the Union Speeches

During President Barack Obama's State of the Union Address, most members of Congress acted, again, like mindless puppets. At the end of almost every sentence uttered by the president, repeating what the president's speech writers had prepared, members of Congress jumped to their feet and clapped wildly.
 
They acted like a group of young  and mindless children that had suddenly each been given a case of their favorite candy. And this wild jumping to their feet happened dozens of times during the president's state of the union address.

This puppet-like, child-like, occurrence happened in prior presidents state of the union speeches, including the time that President Bush repeated lie after lie to get the United States into a deadly war with Iraq.

An automatic clapping machine could have clapped without interruption from the first sentence of the speech to the last, and it wouldn't have been clapping much longer than the clapping that did occur. 

The spectacle reflected  the level of intelligence of many of the U.S. politicians, and the level of sophistication of many voters. This lapproval of low level of sophistication by many voters is pathetically obvious with the large number of people thinking that Sarah Palin was, or is, suitable for vice president and president of the United States.

Combine the spectacle of clapping and jumping to their feet members of Congress with its bribe taking from powerful corporate and other interests, and the documented pattern of cover-ups by members of Congress of high-level corruption, and an understanding occur of why the American people have suffered the consequences of serious problems for so long. The American people and the nation have serious problem on their hands.

Obama's Rebuke to Supreme Court Decision

The January 2010 ruling by five of the nine members of the U.S. Supreme Court in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission created outrage for opening the election process to the corrupti9on influence of corporations−some controlled by foreign interests−and continuing or expanding on the years of corporate abuses of consumers and citizens, such as in the housing, credit card, bank, and other abuses.

In a New York Times editorial (January 22,, 2010), the title, "The Court's Blow to Democracy," was followed by a blistering opinion, part of which follows:

With a single, disastrous 5-to-4 ruling, the Supreme Court has thrust politics back to the robber-baron era of the 19th century. Disingenuously waving the flag of the First Amendment, the court's conservative majority has paved the way for corporations to use their vast treasuries to overwhelm elections and intimidate elected officials into doing their bidding. Congress must act immediately to limit the damage of this radical decision, which strikes at the heart of democracy.

As a result of Thursday's ruling, corporations has been unleashed from the longstanding ban against their spending directly on political campaigns and will be free to spend as much money as they want to elect and defeat candidates. If a member of Congress tries to stand up to a wealthy special interest, its lobbyists can credibly threaten: We'll spend whatever it takes to defeat you.

The ruling in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission radically reverses well-established law and erodes a wall that has stood for a century between corporations and electoral politics. The founders of this nation warned about the dangers of corporate influence. The Constitution they wrote mentions many things and assigns them rights and protections−the people, militias, the press, religions. But it does not mention corporations.

In 1907, as corporations reached new heights of wealth and power, Congress made its views of the relationship between corporations and campaigning clear: It banned them from contributing to candidates. At mid-century, it enacted the broader ban on spending that was repeatedly  reaffirmed over the decades until it was struck down on Thursday.

The majority also makes the nonsensical claim that unlike campaign contributions, which are still prohibited, independent expenditures by corporations "do not give rise to corruption or the appearance of corruption." If Wall Street bankers told members of Congress that they would spend millions of dollars to defeat anyone who opposed their bailout, and then did so, it would certainly look corrupt.

In dissent, Justice John Paul Stevens warned that the ruling not only threatens democracy but "will, I fear do damage to this institution."

The Citizens United ruling is likely to be viewed as a shameful bookend to Bush v. Gore. With one 5-to-4 decision, the court's conservative majority stopped valid votes from being counted to ensure the election of a conservative president. Now a similar conservative majority has distorted he political system to ensure that Republican candidates will be at an enormous advantage in future elections.

History of Corrupt Supreme Court Justices
And Ties to National Calamities

Thanks to the culture of cover-ups of high-level corruption, the American public knows very little if anything about the history of corruption involving Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court. A good start would be to understand the roles played by Justices of the Supreme Court in a long series of corrupt activities, aviation disasters, and a series of terrorist attacks, and especially the role of Justice Anthony Kennedy, who wrote for the majority.

• Index to files relating to conduct of the Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court.  files relating to the Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court.

• Justice Anthony Kennedy history of cover-ups of criminal activities and resulting national tragedies.

• Index to 9/11 files.

• Enablers to 9/11 disasters.

Thoughts for a Wackier United States

If, as some people argue, if same sex marriages are a constitutional right, why not polygamy, the constitutional right to multiple wives!

Life in earlier days, around the end of World War II

In those days, there weren’t such problems are everyday problems today, as: 

•  Terrorist threats and terrorist attacks from people throughout the world trying to kill Americans.
•  Widespread Middle East violence, originated by arming and aiding and abetting of Israel’s occupation and brutality upon the people of the occupied land.
• Two wars initiated by U.S. politicians, killing and maiming thousands of America, following other  wars started by U.S. leaders on the basis of blatant lying to  an uninformed, unread, and indifferent public.
•  Massive loss of homes through foreclosures.
•  Massive homelessness of entire families, resulting from financial frauds, involving and made possible by large numbers of people throughout the housing and financial sectors, and made possible by the conduct of bribe-taking U.S. politicians, and by government regulators beholden to corporations.
• Massive unemployment, for many, permanent for many others.
•  Asset seizures, the seizure of assets by government employees of people that are never charged of any crime, or who are found innocent.
• Highest incarceration rate of virtually any country in the world, arising partly from legislation enacted by bribe-taking politicians, and partly from career-building prosecutors.
• High arrest and conviction rate based upon perjured testimony demanded and/or paid for buy prosecutors.
•  Corruption throughout state and federal courts.
•  Culture of corruption through local, state, and federal government, inflicting various forms of harm upon the uninformed and unread American public. For instance:

o   Years of preventable airline disasters and deaths—and forerunner of series of successful terrorist attacks—arising from culture of incompetence, self-serving conduct, and outright corruption in the government’s aviation safety offices.

o   Decades of drug smuggling into the United States by CIA assets—with the knowledge and assistance of people in other government entities—and the resulting consequences in long—prison sentences, conversion of cities into war zones, and more.

What Happened, What or Who Is Responsible?

•  Corruption of CIA assets.
•  Corruption throughout government, Department of Justice, financial regulators,
• Culture of cover-ups by media people, making possible the continuation of all of the above.
• Culture of corruption by bribe-taking members of Congress that plays key roles in all of the above.
• Indifference by the unread, indifferent, or lazy segments of the American public.

Lifetime of Fraud and Harm Upon a
Blissfully Unconcerned American Public

A coalition of former government agents and insiders have placed into several not-for-profit books details of the lasts half century of frauds and harm upon the American public. Included in those books, and at the 1,000-plus pages at this site, are details about such areas of corruption in and out of government, as the following:

• Decades of preventable aviation disasters due to incompetence, indifference, and corruption. The most recent most-publicized examples of this culture is found in a series of easily preventable terrorist attacks upon U.S. airliners−including those not official shown as terrorist-caused.
• Series of repeated financial frauds and financial crisises, including the greatest financial crisis since the great Depression, the consequences of which are still unfolding. For many, they have lost their homes, their jobs, have become homeless, and have suffered great personal and financial harm.
• Housing frauds that commenced shortly after 2001, kept from the American public until the bubble's collapse in 2007.
• Savings and loan frauds that were kept from the public by the Keating Five−including Senator John McCain−that saddled the public with several billion in debt.
• Repeated lying by U.S. politicians seeking public support to start wars that killed over 100,000 U.S. military personnel, wounded or maimed several hundred thousand. These wars included the invasions of Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Panama, Grenada, Afghanistan, and Iraq.
• Decades of consumer frauds and abuses made possible by bribe-taking members of Congress. These include credit card frauds, banking frauds, health insurance frauds, and other consumer frauds.
• Drug smuggling by CIA assets into the United States, especially during the 1980s, unloading at DEA facilities and military bases, surely known by some of the 16 intelligence agencies, and covered up by members of Congress and Department of Justice personnel. While simultaneously putting thousands of non-government people in prison. (Details in dozens of books, including Drugging America by Rodney Stich.)
• Corruption in the bankruptcy courts involving federal judges, DOJ trustees, and others, looting the assets of people and companies seeking temporary relief in Chapter 11 filings. (See Defrauding America by Rodney Stich)
• Government employees seizing assets from innocent people, that are never returned.
• Practice of prosecutors filing false charges against known innocent people, including paying or threatening
• U.S. politicians, by their actions, have generated worldwide hatred for Americans by:
  • Subverting foreign governments. Example: Iran in 1953.
  • Invasions that have killed over a million people in foreign countries.
  • Generating the world's greatest number of people wanting to kill Americans since the nation's origin.
• Helping to make all of the above possible were:
  • U.S. politicians that had a moral duty, a duty from their position, and in the case of criminal acts of people in government, duty to investigate and prosecute.
  • Media people, who repeatedly covered up for the corruption when the corruption exceeds a minor state, becoming guilty of covering up for crimes against the United States.
  • Political pundits that for various self-serving reasons either withheld the information, or slanted it in such a way that the guilt and consequences were hidden.
  • The American public, victims and enablers, by:
    • Remaining unread and in a state of ignorance about these matters.
    • Indifferent when they did hear or read about these matters.
    • Continued to support the wrongdoer because of political connections.

Killing of 7 CIA Agents in Afghanistan

Multiple Systemic Intelligence Failures
Compounded by Systematic Corruption

The presence of the underwear bomber on Northwest Airlines flight 253 on December 25, 2009, was widely blamed on multiple intelligence failures. The facts kept from the public indicate that the multiple systemic intelligence failures were compounded by far more serious problems: multiple systemic corruption.

Information on the corruption aspects aiding the terrorists, for which considerable evidence exists, includes, for instance:

• FBI-DOJ personnel cover ups and criminal acts related to the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie (December 21, 1988) that aided the continuation of successful aviation terrorist attacks. For instance;
   
  • Covering up for the actual terrorists based in Syria―for political purposes. Syria's help was needed as the United States attacked Iraq in August 1990. (Details in Unfriendly Skies: 20th & 21st Centuries)
     
  • FBI personnel planting evidence (thumb-size timer device) six months after the event,  that was purchased from a former employee of the device maker.
     
  • Paying the supplier of the thumb-size timer for the device and to falsely testify.
     
  • FBI personnel paying a shop keeper to change his testimony and testify as to the purchaser of clothes allegedly found in the suitcase containing the bomb.
     
  • FBI-Scottish personnel threatening to charge another person with conspiracy in the crime if that person testified truthfully, and thereby undermine the lies used to charge an innocent Libyan.
     
  • Falsely charging an innocent Libyan with placing the bomb on PAA Flight 103, using the planted evidence, payment for perjured testimony, and threats against another witness.
     
  • In October 2009, as an appeal was about to be heard in the conviction of the innocent Libyan, where the evidence of this misconduct would be made public, a deal was made  wherein the imprisoned Libyan would be released if he dropped the appeal. In this way, the truth would not officially surface. If the wrongful conviction had not occurred due to the deliberate misconduct by DOJ and Scottish prosecutors, they would have welcomed the evidence in the appeal to identify the actual people responsible for the bomb and the 270 murdered people on the flight. Instead, the goal was to block the appeal and cover up for their misconduct.
     
  • British media had been releasing the evidence in numerous articles―while U.S. media kept the lid on the scandal.
     
  • In this way, the actual terrorists were protected and a culture of criminal conduct was continued in the FBI-DOJ, which surfaced in several other major terrorist successes, including 9/11.
     
• FBI-DOJ withholding of advance information on several planned terrorist attacks―that did subsequently occur―with major consequences for the United States. The advance information was coming from a mole inside the al  Qaeda cell headed by Ramzi Yousef, the mastermind behind the 1993 World Trade Center Bombing and the planned simultaneously bombing of 12 U.S. airlines departing Far East locations. The mole was a former member of the Colombo Mafia family in New York City.
   
• The mole provided the information on the planned terrorist attacks on a regular based to local FBI agents who considered the information reliable. However, high level DOJ personnel in Washington had planned to discredit the mole in several pending criminal trials where the mole was to testify about serial murders perpetrated by his father, known as "The Killing Machine," with the help of a key FBI supervisor in the New York offices.  To have made the advance information on the terrorist attacks known to other government entities would have subverted the scheme to discredit him the mole.
   
• The forewarned terrorist attacks then did occur, resulting in 4,000 deaths.
   
• The terrorists attacks for which advance information was obtained by the mole, and given to FBI personnel, included the downing of TWA Flight 800; the bombings of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, and then hijackings of U.S. airliners.
   
• The significance of the actions by high level DOJ personnel covering up for serial murders involving one of their own:
   
  • FBI-DOJ personnel engaged in criminal obstruction of justice by protecting the supervisor and planning a scheme to corruptly discredit a witness―constituting multiple criminal act.
     
  • FBI-DOJ personnel made possible the deaths of 4,000 people in the forewarned terrorist attacks by their criminal acts.
     
  • FBI-DOJ personnel became complicit in events that led to the U.S. invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan, the hundreds of thousands of deaths, including the deaths and maiming of U.S. military personnel, and an endless number of other harmful consequences.
     
  • Set in motion the greatest buildup in the world's history of people wanting to kill Americans,  a confrontation that the U.S. cannot win, partly because of the hatred generated by the policies of U.S. politicians and the killing of thousands of innocent Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan.
     
• Additional indication of the culture of FBI-DOJ personnel is the practice of filing false charges against present and former government agents exposing high-level corruption in government. This practice enabled great harm to continued, including terrorist attacks and other harm described in not-for-profit books written by insiders.
   
• Years of continuing attacks by DOJ personnel and people working with them to silence former federal agent Rodney Stich and his coalition of other government agents and insiders. People and groups working in unison with DOJ personnel included over 50 lawyers and law firms; California judges; and federal judges.
   
• Assisting in the conditions enabling the easy hijackings of four airliner on 9/l11 were the incompetence, indifference, and actual criminal conduct of certain key people in the FAA, the primary government entity with responsibility for preventing the actual hijackings and other terrorist attacks on airliners.
   
• Further becoming criminally involved were the many people who knew of these conditions and who covered up, constituting the crimes of obstruction of justice and accessory after the fact. This group includes, for instance, many members of Congress, media people, and others.
   

• Evidence of these matters are at other pages at this site, and especially in the following not-for-profit books:

  • Unfriendly Skies: 20th & 21st  Centuries.
  • Crimes of the FBI-DOJ, Mafia, and al Qaeda.

  Available at amazon.com in print and e-book formats. (Kindle)

Because of the severity of these criminal activities, the many resulting deaths, and the people and groups in government implicated, these matters are unlikely to ever become known to the public.

Panicky State of Americans that So Willingly
Started Two Wars Killing Hundreds of Thousands

For a nation that so willingly started two wars killing hundreds of thousands in Afghanistan and Iraq, it was somewhat ironic that they panic so easily. The nation was in panic for weeks following an attempt by a Nigerian to detonate an explosive device on a Northwest Airlines flight from Amsterdam to Detroit on December 25, 2009. Three recent examples of that "brave" conduct by Americans so willing to start wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were seen in the first week of January 2010.

• At the Bakersfield, California airport, the terminal was closed for hours after honey in a passenger's baggage was thought to be an explosive substance.
   
• In another incident at Newark, New Jersey, all the terminals were shut down and people evacuated, for hours, when a man walked by the security gate to wish his girlfriend goodbye.
   
• In a third incident, at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, a bomb-sniffing dog detected what was thought to be explosives in a piece of luggage. The airport terminal was rapidly evacuated and many flights were delayed.

This type of panic, resulting from trivial matters, repeatedly occurred at airports throughout the United States since 9/11.

The Making of Millions of People
Wanting to Kill Americans

U.S. politicians doing all the "right" things to generate the world's greatest growth of people willing to kill themselves while killing Americans!! What an accomplishment!!

• Subvert the duly elected government of Iran, engineer a revolution, and replaced Mossadegh with the Shah through a CIA-engineered revolution in 1953. (Airline captain Rodney Stich was in Iran the morning the revolution started.)
• Arm Israel, aid and abet Israel's killings and brutalities of people in land seized and occupied in 1967, the initial basis for turning people against the United States.
• First arm Iraq during 1980s, and then invade and kill Iraqis in first Gulf War, inflict harm, followed by 2003 invasion that killed several hundred thousand Iraqis.
• Invade Afghanistan for allowing an al Qaeda cell to operate in remote mountainous areas, and then kill thousands of innocent Afghans through high-level carpet bombings and repeated missile strikes killing innocent people—including children and infants.
• Stationing U.S. troops in Muslim countries.
• Imprisoning thousands of people obtained from dragnets, subjecting many to torture and humiliation

Intelligence Failures Versus Congressional Oversight "Failures"
As Blame for Series of Catastrophic Terrorist Attacks

• Intelligence failures cited for recent Northwest Airlines bombing attempt, 9/11 hijackings, U.S. embassy bombings in Africa.
• Versus:
• Congressional cover-ups (i.e. obstruction of justice) when repeatedly notified by former government agents of corruption involving key government personnel that were enabling a continuing series of aviation disasters, including terrorist acts.
  • List of letters notifying members of Congress.
  • List of letters to members of Congress relating to TWA Flight 800.
  • List of letters to members of Congress relating to PAA Flight 103 bombed over Lockerbie.
  • List of letters relating to cover-up of serial killings by key FBI supervisor and its relationship to series of successful terrorist attacks, including 9/11.

  The reaction by members of Congress, their pattern of deliberate cover-ups when insiders provided specific information, had more to do with a series of spectacular terrorist attacks than innocent intelligence failures.

Amateurish Aviation Security Rules by Incompetent Politically-Placed Management

• Rule barring passengers' going to the lavatory within one hour of landing. Has no practical anti-terrorist role.
• Rule barring passengers from having blankets on their laps. Has no practical anti-terrorist role.
• Rule requiring women with thin sole-shoes having to remove them during security check. The cardboard-thin soles and small heels could not contain enough explosives to do any harm to the aircraft, and would be limited to harming the person wearing the shoes.
• Rule requiring intensive pre-boarding inspection of children and white senior Americans.
• Ordering an entire evacuation of multi-terminals for isolated failure to inspect a single person passing through the security inspection point.

See www.defraudingamerica.com/terrorism_index.html

Sampling of the Many Ways in Which
Aviation Terrorism Can/Will Succeed

• Explosive material molded into the sides of checked suitcases, with the wiring and detonator hidden in the metal framework.
• Explosive material hidden in large carry-on baggage. This could be greatly reduced by limiting carry-on to the size of toilet kits.
• Explosives placed into checked bags by baggage handlers who routinely steal large quantities of contents from the bags that they load. With this type of mentality, placing explosives on board an aircraft, especially if well paid fordoing it, or incensed by the U.S. policies overseas.
• Explosives placed on aircraft by the large number of aircraft maintenance personnel.
• Explosives placed on aircraft by the large number of personnel providing food and other supplies.
• Explosives placed on aircraft by non-authorized personnel entering restricted areas.
• Cargo placed on passenger airliners, most of which is not checked, and even if checked, easily concealed from detection.
• Surface to air missiles fired at arriving or departing aircraft, throughout the world, including to a limited extent inside the United States.
• Human errors throughout the anti-terrorist system.

How Omissions in 9/11 Commission Report Ensures More Terrorist Successes

• Covered up for culture in FAA that has been responsible for decades of preventable aviation disasters, and as the main agency for preventing aviation hijackings, the culture made the 9;/11 hijackings possible (when the preventative measures were known, easily accomplished, and urgently necessary with advance notice of planned hijackings.
  
• Knew of DOJ personnel having advance notice of the 9/11 hijackings and several other catastrophic terrorist attacks, and the withholding of that critical information to prevent exposure of FBI Supervisor involvement in serial murders with a key New York City Mafia capo known as "The Killing Machine."

More information at www.defraudingamerica.com

The Critical Information Withheld
From the 9/11 Commission Report

• The 9/11 Commission withheld from its report critical information on corrupt conditions that made the 9/11 hijackings possible. These include, for instance, the following information:
  • The serious problems within the  Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the government agency with primary responsibility for taking measures to prevent airliners from being hijacked. (Details of the decades of deadly problems can be found in the book, Unfriendly Skies: 20th & 21st Centuries.)
    
  • Years of attacks upon a former government agent to halt his exposure of corruption in several government agencies that had a role in the easy success of the 9/11 hijackers. These involved government entities were the FAA, FBI and other DOJ offices, and the CIA. (Details in Unfriendly Skies: 20th & 21st Centuries, and Crimes of the FBI-DOJ, Mafia, and al Qaeda.)
    
  • Another and more direct effect upon the success in several terrorist attacks, including 9/11, were Department of Justice personnel. They had obtained and withheld advance warnings of the 9/11 hijackings (and several other major terrorist attacks that occurred) from a former Mafiosi that had infiltrated the al Qaeda cell headed by infamous Ramzi Yousef, the mastermind behind the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center and the planned simultaneous bombings of 12 U.S. airliners departing Far East Locations.
    
  • The reasons for withholding the information was the scheme to falsely discredit the Mafiosi mole in the al Qaeda cell so as to protect FBI and other Department of Justice personnel. The mole was scheduled to testify in several murder trials about the serial murders perpetrated by his father, a Colombo Mafia capo known as "The Killing Machine," with the help of a key FBI supervisor in the New York City offices. To have passed the information on the planned terrorist bombings to government entities would have undermined the efforts to discredit the Mafiosi mole. Government entities that could have taken measures to prevent the success of the terrorist attacks were therefore not taken. The protection of the FBI personnel in this manner result5eed in nearly 4,000 deaths in the forewarned terrorist attacks, which in turn resulted in the United States involved in two wars, and a great increase in the number of people wanting to kill Americans. (Details of this relationship can be found in the book, Crimes of the FBI-DOJ, Mafia, and al Qaeda (available from amazon.com and other sources).

How Omissions in 9/11 Commission Report Ensured More Terrorist Successes

• Covered up for culture in FAA that has been responsible for decades of preventable aviation disasters, and as the main agency for preventing aviation hijackings, the culture made the 9;/11 hijackings possible (when the preventative measures were known, easily accomplished, and urgently necessary with advance notice of planned hijackings.
  
• Knew of DOJ personnel having advance notice of the 9/11 hijackings and several other catastrophic terrorist attacks, and the withholding of that critical information to prevent exposure of FBI Supervisor involvement in serial murders with a key New York City Mafia capo known as "The Killing Machine."

The Gitmo Quagmire

• Most were never charged with a crime, and were being unlawfully and unconstitutionally imprisoned without charges.
• Upon release, they were so angry about years of unlawful imprisonment that they justifiably were angry at U.S. and wanted to harm Americans
• Those who have not been released, and for whom there is no reliable evidence that they committed any crime against the United States, now pose a dilemma: keep innocent people imprisoned forever, or release innocent people who are justifiably wanted to do harm to the United States that did harm to them.

Why Americans Are Hated
Throughout the Middle East and Africa

• At one time, Americans were welcomed throughout the Middle East. Airline Captain Rodney Stich flew planeloads of Muslims from throughout the Middle East to the holy cities of Mecca and Medina during the religious Ramadan period in the 1950s and never encountered any hostility.
• U.S. arming of Israel knowing that the arms were being used against the people in the terrorist seized by Israel in 1967, and the continued support of Israel's brutality against the people in the occupied land.
• U.S. engineered overthrow of Iran's Mossadegh in 1953 and replacement with the Shah. Stich was in Iran the morning the revolution started,
• U.S. placement of troops in the Middle East.
• U.S. invasion of Iraq on the basis of serial lying, resulting in destabilizing one of the most westernized Middle Ease countries and one that was hostile to terrorists, and that resulted in hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqis.
• U.S. invasion of Afghanistan, killing thousands of innocent Afghans.
• The doctor that killed eight CIA agents in Afghanistan, and the "underwear bomber" on Northwest Airlines Flight 253 on Christmas day were relatively peaceful people until stirred by the hatred involving the brutality and deaths resulting from U.S. military action in Afghanistan and Iraq, and Israel brutality in Gaza and the occupied territory.

Health Care Problems in U.S.

A few thoughts on the health care problems in the United States

• None of the known health care reform proposals address the most basic of the problems: The inadequate number of physicians, especially general practice, and the totally inadequacy of training facilities to obtain physicians.
   
• Any health care legislation to provide healthcare for the many uninsured will immediately result in people having insurance−but facing a long delay before they can have an appointment with a doctor. Everyone will now encounter these long delays.
   
• Far more physicians will be required, not only for the aging population, the retirement of one-third of present physicians by 2020, the delay in now obtaining a physician appointment, and of course, the worsening of the ability to see a physician with health insurance for all.
   
• The block to training more Americans to be physicians:
   
  • The high tuition cost to attend medical school. (Reportedly as much as $50,000 yearly) and the many years of required training.
     
  • The lack of facilities that limit the number of people seeking to attend medical school.
     
  • The failure of Congress to provide for financial aid for great increase in medical school facilities and financial aid to those wishing to become physicians.
     
• Because of the failure to train Americans to be physicians, the United States relies heavily upon immigration of physicians from other countries. Another example of outsourcing American jobs!
   
• Not enough controls will be in place to reduce the cost of medical care, this resulting from the bribe-taking members of Congress protecting their source of funds and perks.
   
• As with almost everything else, the culture in the United States does not look ahead at impending problems.

30th Anniversary of the Seizure of American Hostages in Iran

Thirty years ago, on November 4, 1979, 52 American hostages were seized by Iran. They were eventually released 444 days later, on January 20, 1981, as President Ronald Reagan took the oath of office. To this day, thanks to the standard cover-up by U.S. media, most  Americans are totally ignorant of the scheme that delayed the release of the hostages so as to insure the election of presidential candidate Ronald Reagan.

Precise details of this scheme are in the book, Defrauding America, by Rodney Stich. The considerable details are based upon years of interviews with two key CIA operatives that played major roles in what became known as October Surprise.

The not-for-profit book is available in print or e-book format from www.amazon.com and other sources, and on the Kindle device.

Media's Mislabeling "Miracle on the Hudson"

 Life in the United States is so full of "warts" that media people hype almost anything. And the "Miracle on the Hudson" ditching of a U.S. Air  flight is one example. This is not to belittle the crew in any manner; they did not ask for the hyping, and they performed as they were trained and expected to perform. Here are the facts:

U.S. Air Flight 1549, an Airbus 320, departed New York's JFK Airport for a flight to Miami, suffered total engine failures at about 3,000 feet altitude during the climbout. Any pilot, including a student pilot with as little as 20 hours experience, would look for a flat surface on which to land. The pilots of U.S. Air had two choices: either land on the only flat surface available, the Hudson River, or crash into buildings in New York City or New Jersey.
 

• Because the captain didn't elect to crash into buildings, and instead, choose to glide the unpowered aircraft onto the surface of the Hudson River, media people called the captain a hero and the flight a miracle.
   
• In lieu of the fact that the term hero is routinely used by U.S. media people for golfers that score low, baseball players that score high, or someone who catches an extra large fish, the ludicrous misuse of the term is understandable!

A "Miracle" of Sorts Did Exist and Went Unaddressed

The key segments of that flight that should have received focus was the luck involved. If the dual-engine failure had occurred a minute or two earlier, when the flat Hudson River was not available, the jet would have been forced to crash into heavily occupied buildings on the takeoff path over New York City. Another luck was the availability of numerous boats that promptly rescued the people on that flight.

Will Cheney and his Kind Never Learn!

Former Vice President Dick Cheney recently  (October 20, 2009) criticized President Obama for delay in sending more troops to Afghanistan. This is the same Cheney who played a key role in starting the war with Iraq on a serial lying, that resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths and worldwide jihad against Americans. While this writer disagrees with some of President Obama's decisions, his basic honesty and hesitation on Afghanistan are to be praised.

The United States cannot prevail in Afghanistan. American forces are seen as invaders; the Taliban consists of the Pashtun tribe, which is the dominate group in the country. Al Qaeda is the enemy, and is now transnational, and decentralized. The argument that assumes al Qaeda is only in Afghanistan is obviously wrong.

To do what  war hawks like Cheney wants is to send half a million American troops into Afghanistan in a no-win situation.

Can Americans Trust America's Military Leaders:

 Some months ago it was announced that U.S. military leaders in Afghanistan were formulating a new tactic: placing a small number of military personnel in remote outposts. This writer, a former Navy Patrol Plane Commander (PPC), though it was the dumbest and most dangerous tactic yet taken. It was obvious that such a small contingent, in a makeshift bunker, could be and would be easily destroyed by the countless numbers of Afghans that hated Americans as occupiers and for their mass killing of civilians.

Now, after several deadly attacks on such grossly inadequate outposts, U.S. military leaders are questioning their earlier decision. With such incompetent thinking on such a basic fact of military strategy, should Americans rely upon the judgment of the U.S. commander in Afghanistan, General Stanley McChrystal, who demands that more Americans be sent to an unwinnable war, with more Americans deaths in a senseless war, that has already lasted eight years!

At stake are American lives, national security, and financial solvency. Leaving admits a mistake, but like Vietnam, must 58,000 American lives be lost before U.S. politicians admit the blunder that they had inflicted upon the American people.

Comments on U.S. Staying in Afghanistan

• America's war in Afghanistan is unwinnable. Unwinnable includes. The term winning has been vaguely referred to as:
  • Creating a democracy. A non-homogeneous country of mostly illiterate members of ethnic groups and tribes, religious fanatics, in a land in which corruption is the standard culture, cannot produce a democracy.  There is not the ethnic coherence.  Afghans are an unruly mix of Pashtuns, Uzbeks, Hazaras, Tajiks, and Aimaks, Turkmen, among others. The Taliban are mostly Sunni and ethnic Pashtuns. Most of the population of Afghanistan belong to the same ethnic group as the Taliban.
     
  • Denying al Qaeda a base of operations. Among the arguments for continuing the eight-years of war in Afghanistan  is that it is a war of necessity to prevent al Qaeda a base of operations. But  al Qaeda can operate from others countries, such as Yemen and Somalia. Also, there are so many people wanting to kill Americans, due to the actions of U.S. politicians, that they don't need an central base of operations.
     
  • Training the Afghans to kill other Afghans. Another argument is that the United States train and arms huge numbers of Afghans to fight other Afghans. The early attempts to do this resulted in the newly armed Afghans turning their weapons over to the Taliban.
     
  • Taliban were part of the 9/11 plot and had to be punished. It was not Afghans that attacked the United States; it was Arabs from other countries, some of which had temporally used the remote and uncontrolled area of Afghanistan for training. It was al Qaeda that attacked the United States, and they were Arabs, temporarily located in the remote uncontrolled areas of Afghanistan. The Taliban probably had no knowledge of the planned 9/11 attacks.
     
  • Further, evidence cited in the books, Crimes of the FBI-DOJ, Mafia, and al Qaeda, and Unfriendly Skies: 20th & 21st Centuries, reveals the corruption of key people in the United States that made it child's play for the terrorists to hijack four airliners on 9/11 and kill nearly 3,000 people. For those willing to exert some mental effort, the same people that are now protecting the United States made the 9/11 and other catastrophic events possible.

    Among the Many Stupid Acts by America's Politicians and Leaders:

• After 9/11, with the help of Afghan warlords, the Taliban was defeated. Instead of finishing the task that could have brought about massive changes in Afghanistan, President George W. Bush pulled out, and engaged in serial lying to gain public support for invading Iraq. That decision:
   
  • Allowed the Taliban to regroup and regain control of a major part of Afghanistan.
     
  • Caused the greatest buildup of people wanting to kill Americans in the history of the United States, a situation that cannot now be reversed for many generations.
     
  • A reported 1 million innocent Iraqis died, and the country that was a firewall against terrorists became a haven for terrorists.
     
  • One of the most westernized countries in the Middle East was reversed to a fanatical religious group.

  Other thoughts:

• The repeated killing of innocent Afghans, mostly women and children, by American military forces, has eliminated any chance of the United States winning the hearts and minds of the Afghans. In the face of this obvious fact, U.S. politicians and leaders repeatedly described U.S. actions as winning the hearts and minds of the Afghan people.
   
• In 2009, the US war in Afghanistan  had lasted longer than the combination of U.S. involvement in World War I and World War II, with no end in sight. And Taliban forces are gaining control over more parts of Afghanistan.
   
• Any part of Afghanistan that becomes controlled by U.S. forces after heavy causalities would have to permanently be controlled, resulting in continued American casualties, and costs which the United States does not have.
   
• United States troops are seen as invaders, and increasing their numbers would increase the hostility of the Afghan government.
   
• We then killed thousands of innocent Afghans with courageous high-altitude carpet bombings, drove-controlled firing platforms killing groups of innocent women and children to kill a suspected Taliban or al Qaeda operative.
   
• While most Afghans fear the Taliban, they admire the Taliban's honesty and religious piety, while abhorring the corruption of Afghan officials.
   
• There is no money to continue to fight the Taliban. The present costs are borrowed money from countries such as China, communist countries. (Remember the chant by U.S. politicians and the military industrial complex as to Communists being America's greatest enemy!!!)

The Most Practicable Policy At This Stage, Despite the Problems:

• Accept the offer of Afghan warlords to defeat the Taliban, as they did after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. All they want is military weapons and funding. The disadvantages that the continuing-the-losing war section will raise would include, for instance:
   
  • Some warlords have been brutal. Sorry folks, Afghan and other similar countries don't act like pious-sounding religious fanatics in the United States think they do.
     
  • Opium production will continue. This condition existed earlier, and the solution for the drug problem is for the  American drug users to stop using and funding brutal activities throughout the world. Blame those creating the demand, not those seeking to fulfill the demands!
     
  • There won't be a democracy, but some semblance of control would occur, just as Saddam Hussein managed to bring about from groups fighting each other.

This article was written by a former Navy Patrol Plane Commander (PPC) from World War II, a former pilot ferrying wounded GIs from Korean, and a former airline captain involved in living and flying peaceful Muslims from throughout the Middle East to the holy cities of Mecca and Medina, and with massive amount of information on covert U.S. activities, the following are a few thoughts on U.S. military presence in Afghanistan by former federal agent Rodney Stich.

Recent August Release of The
Alleged Bomber of Pan Am Flight 103

Evidence that the feigned protests by U.S. politicians and their shills about the August 2009 release from a Scottish prison of the alleged Libyan bomber was actually a sign of relief. If he had not been released, on condition that his appeal be dropped, the huge amount of evidence showing another sham filing of charges by U.S. Department of Justice employees that were then joined by others.

In the book, Unfriendly Skies: 20th & 21st Centuries, former federal airline safety expert Rodney Stich describes the:

• Downing of PAA Flight 103.
   
• The planting of evidence by U.S. Department of Justice personnel.
   
• The subornation of perjury by Department of Justice personnel, persuading and paying people to testify falsely.
   
• The evidence indicating the group that was paid to commit the crime.
   
• Why the bombing was ordered.
   
• The appeal brief that contained massive evidence of the crimes initiated by Department of Justice personnel−with other shills−that sentenced an innocent person to prison.
   
• The cover-up by U.S. media and U.S. politicians of the massive amount of evidence showing the convicted person to be innocent.
   
• The outrage by the uninformed, unread, American people, at the release of the alleged bomber, when their outrage should have been directed primarily at the infamous Department of Justice culture that has a long history of Americans as innocent victims.

Feigned Outrages by
U.S. Politicians and Their Shills

The feigned protests of U.S. politicians and their shills at the release of the convicted Libyan, whose release required dropping of the appeal that showed massive evidence of the sham charges and conviction, thereby preventing exposure to the unread masses of the U.S. role in that great tragedy.

By exchanging release for dropping of the appeal, the truth associated with the downing of Pan Am Flight 103, and the insertion of false evidence and demand for perjured testimony, continued to deprive people of the truth.

For the few people who care enough about the corrupt culture emanating from the Department of Justice employees, the not-for-profit book, Unfriendly Skies: 20th & 21st Centuries, should shake up the tranquility from being duped.

Be reckless. Expend the mental exertion to see how the ripple effects of this culture affects all Americans, read the book, Crimes of the FBI-DOJ, Mafia, and al Qaeda, to see how the greatest calamities facing American today started with misconduct in the infamous U.S. Department of Justice.

Selective Outrage by Republicans

Representative Joe Wilson shouted during a recent President Obama speech to Congress on the president's health care legislation, "You lie." While this writer believes President Obama is pushing the truth, the bizarre position of Representative Wilson is reflected by his failure to shout the same words during eight years of serial lying by President George W. Bush. And those lies  resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths, trillions in debt, and the world's greatest growth of people wanting to kill Americans.

Reflecting upon the people in his district that praised Wilson, they deserve the same criticism.

Eulogizing Senator Edward Kennedy
Reveals the Depth of Morals

Politicians and media people eulogizing of Senator Edward Kennedy after his death in August 2009 reveals again the decaying values these two groups present to the American people. They ignore  Kennedy's despicable conduct in 1969 when his conduct resulted in the death of a young woman at Chappaquiddick.

Under the influence of alcohol, Kennedy drove off a bridge into shallow water. As the car slowly sank, he climbed out, leaving the young woman trapped in an air space. Rather than try to get her out, he left the scene of the slowly sinking car and met with his political advisors to concoct an excuse for his cowardice that led to the slow death of his woman companion.

Then, using his considerable political cloud, Kennedy avoided a prison sentence.

The eulogizing of such a person by bribe-taking politicians, and media people that for years have taken handouts from politicians that they report as news, and simultaneously cover up for corruption that enables decade after decade of tragic ripple effects, go hand in hand.

There is Another and Scandalous Side to the
Release of the Alleged PAA Flight 103 Bomber

As a former key FAA airline safety inspector, international airline captain, former Navy Patrol Plane Commander in World War II, with dozens of contacts in the intelligence communities, the following brief comments are made concerning the release in August 2009 of the Libyan convicted of placing the bomb on board PAA Flight 103 that crashed into Lockerbie:

• Details and documents are in the book, Unfriendly Skies: 20th & 21st Centuries.
   
• Considerable evidence existed that a terrorist group planted the bomb on the aircraft, in retaliation for the U.S. reckless shooting down of an Iranian Airliner that had just taken off from Abadan, Iran, on a regular schedule flight along an established airway.
   
• The placing the bomb on board the Pan American airliner was made easy by the existing placement of drugs on board the airliner by CIA assets.
   
• CIA and FBI personnel placed false evidence and coerced false testimony to bring about the conviction of the Libyan.
   
• This is just another example of the American public being snookered, and their lack of knowledge about covert and corrupt activities that are endemic in the culture of those in control of the United States. It enables a person to remain blissfully happy to take the packaged content handed out.

The widespread herd-like condemnation of the release of a falsely convicted person provides aid and comfort to the FBI-DOJ employees that engaged in another sham prosecution, and reflects their naivety, or willingness to lie.

Mirage of Job Losses Slowing and
Economy Turning Around

In lockstep with the snow job upon an uninformed or gullible American public, most of the print media reported (August 2009) that there is good news about the rate of job losses, and the economy is turning around and looking good. This writer, having lived through the great Depression, is not blessed with the same rose-colored glasses, see things differently. For instance:

Job Losses

• The official job loss figure is grossly understated. The August unemployment figures stated that "only" 247,000 jobs were lost in July and the spinners claimed this was an encouraging improvement. They withheld the shocking news. For instance:
   

• There were a total of almost seven million people who lost their jobs since the housing and financial frauds were addressed by the media in mid-2007.

• On top of these job losses were the number of people reaching the job-seeking age numbered several million.

• Added to these huge figures were the millions of people moved to reduced hours, which are not counted in the official statistics. Their reduceed income does not meet their financial  obligations

• Add to these figures the people no longer looking for work due to inability to find jobs. They are not listed on the official unemployed figures.

• The unemployment benefits will be ending for millions of people, after which they and their families
      Gloomy-Catastaphic Future for Millions

Bribe-taking politicians and media people, many shilling for the government, mostly paint an improving picture, stating the economy is turning around. They deliberately hide the brutal facts, such as:

• The bright spots are for those people in the financial sectors whose gambling with other people's money brought about the worst financial crisis since the great financial depression of the 1930s. Their profits are made possible by the borrowed money for which the U.S. taxpayers must someday pay back.
  
• For millions of these people, their jobs will never return. For many of them, their income will be a fraction of what it formerly was.

• The total of people unemployed has been estimated at 20 percent.

• Due to the economics, there is no change in our generation of these jobs returning.

In the Pipeline At This Time

• The great number of housing foreclosures continues, progresing from the subprime mortgages, to the Alt-A mortgages, to those with prime credit at the time of obtaining the loans, and then with the foreclosures on homes of recently unemployed people.
   

• The impending foreclosures on large numbers of commercial real estate, which will be followed by losses on financial derivatives based upon the mortgages. These are called commercial mortgage backed securities (CMBS). That in turn will result in numerous bank failures.
   

• The failures of buy-out corporations saddled with huge debts that were the profits taken out by the people responsible for the buyouts. Mervyn's is one example of such failure.
   

• The enormous money being borrowed from China and other countries to keep the bankrupted U. S. economy going.
   

• Lack of money to pay Social Security benefits and Medicare, a crisis that will hit far sooner then the public is being told about. Helping bring this about is fighting two wars that most Americans supported, and will shortly pay the consequences for their arrogance.
   

• Families homeless, living in cars, or tents, in wintry weather, lacking money for food and medical care, are only one small segment of the misery inflicted upon a gullible American public.

Links between Serial Murders by FBI Agent and Mafia Capo,
And Series of terrorist attacks on Major U.S. targets−including 9/11.

·   Serial murders involving a key FBI supervisor. 

·   The cover-up of those murders by high FBI-DOJ personnel, which involved the complicity of the media. Part of that cover-up of high level corruption is due to the secret payments media people by the CIA and other government departments. The CIA had a well-publicized program for controlling the media called Operation Mockingbird. 

·   With links between those murders and a series of terrorist attacks on major U.S. targets that killed almost 4,000 people, including the events of 9/11. That sounds bizarre, but when the facts are known and understood, the relationship becomes clear.

Congress Dictating Airline Safety Matters
Replacing FAA Responsibilities

The House aviation committee on July 29, 2009, introduced a bill to allegedly improve airline safety. Comments from an aviation old timer and former FAA airline operations inspector:

• By law, it has been the responsibility of the people in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to make these decisions. There is a small number of former professional airline pilots and military pilots that had the background, the competency, and the responsibility, to determine safety problems and recommend corrective actions (that are rarely taken by FAA management).
   
• The reason why a half century of preventable airline disasters have occurred, and why the easily accomplished measures to prevent airliners from being hijacked, are the following continuing problems:
   
  • Political patronage places unqualified people in key safety positions.
     
  • To gain political points, unqualified female, black, or other people are placed in key safety positions.
     
  • The practice exists in the FAA is the standard practice of one section in the FAA to get rid of an incompetent manager by promoting the person to a higher position of authority in some other section of the FAA. The next section then has the problem.
     
  • The practice of one incompetent manager promoting another incompetent person, that does not create any waves.
     
• The proposal by the House committee is standard window dressing that has been repeated over and over again for the past half century. The comments are those of amateurs that have no idea of the problems in the FAA−or are covering up for them.

How does this affect the air traveler? In the book, Unfriendly Skies: 20th & 21st Centuries, by former FAA inspector Rodney Stich, provides overwhelming evidence of the consequences:

• Everyone that flies is subject to the danger of aviation disasters occurring.
   
• Thousands of people perishing in preventable and forewarned airline disasters in the United States since 1950.The seemingly every few month series of airline disasters have been greatly reduced, due to conditions the circumvented the internal FAA problems. But preventable airline disasters continue to occur.
   
• The primary blame for the hijackings of four airliners on September 11, 2001, was with the people in the government agency responsible for ordering the known measures that would have prevented each of the four airliners from being hijacked: and that was the FAA, a matter that has been carefully withheld from the American people by the lapdog and sometimes paid media people, by the 9/11 Commission, and by members of Congress.
   
• Further blame lies with the public−and most of the airline crewmembers−who chose to remain ignorant of the problems exposed by a few insiders.

Comparison Between Political Corruption
In New Jersey
And Political Corruption at the Federal Level

In the 1930s while this writer was growing up in New Jersey, the political corruption was rampant, just as disclosed in July 2009 with the arrest of dozens of New Jersey mayors and other politicians. This is a good opportunity to compare the endemic corruption at the federal level and the comparison of harm upon the people.

In no way is this intended to diminish the sordid conduct of political corruption in New Jersey, Chicago, Louisiana, and other state and local levels.

In the not-for-profit documentary books, this writer and his coalition of other former government agents and insiders details and documents a half century of corruption in government and the tragic and brutal consequences upon the uninformed American people.

New Jersey Political Corruption Pocket-Change
Compared to Corruption in Federal Positions

In July 2009, 44 politicians and rabbis were arrested and charged with corruption, causing numerous media articles to be published. But the political corruption at the state and local level, especially in such places as New Jersey, Chicago, Louisiana, is pocket-change compared to the political corruption in federal offices.

With the complicity of media people and their history of secret payments from the CIA and other government departments, the American public has been kept in the dark about the endemic corruption in federal offices.

One funding source for controlling U.S. media was called Operation Mockingbird, paying media people to either
"deep-six" unfavorable news or to plant favorable articles.

Without this corruption, there would not have been such resulting consequences as:

• The history of repeated financial scandals, including those that surfaced in the media starting in 2007, and will destroy the lives of millions of people who will never recover.
• The series of successful terrorist attacks on U.S. targets, including 9/11.
• History of preventable deadly aviation disasters.
• History of criminal activities in key government positions.
• History of great harm to the American people.
• History of harm to the United States.

Innocently or unknowingly aiding and abetting the corruption and the cover-ups are the unread, unsophisticated, in-denial, American public. And those who protest simplistic issues that do not require any exercise of mental energy, or those with wild conspiracy theories that drown out those insiders with hard facts and evidence who vainly attempt to inform and motivate the American public.

The detailed and documented corruption, and the great harm inflicted upon American victims and national security, has been written in many books, including the following:

• Defrauding America.
• Drugging America.
• Crimes of the FBI-DOJ, Mafia, and al Qaeda.
• Unfriendly Skies: 20th & 21st Centuries.
• Congress and Other Cesspools.
• America's Housing and Financial Frauds.

Irony of July 2009 Media Articles
About End of Recession

Article after article in the July 2009 financial media describe the upbeat look in the financial markets. It was the use of the American taxpayers borrowing from China and other nations that paid off speculators that brought down upon the American public the plight that has befallen them. Unrecognized or in standard denial, the same people that brought forth the nation's worst financial crisis are at it again, in one area after the other, taking the public for fools.

But for the American public, suffering the consequences of the endemic corruption, an end to the recession? Look at what they have yet to face for the remainder of their lives:

• Millions of unemployed Americans, the unemployment figures much higher than the officially stated figure, and made worse by the underemployed, working part time.
   
• The millions of homes that are either in foreclosure, have gone through the foreclosure process, or will do so over the next few years.
   
• First it was the subprime mortgages made to people who everyone knew could not make the payments once the teaser rates were gone.
   
• Then it was the loans made to people with a possibility of making the payments, called Alt-A loans, with a low interests rate. They started losing their homes in 2008 as the initial rates jumped. The teaser rates continue to mature until about 2011.
   
• Then is was the loans made to people with prime credit and income, who are now going into default as jobs are lost, many of which will never return.
   
• Then there are the loans with balances far higher than the current and falling market value. These will go into foreclosure as people walk away from their homes, further depressing the housing market.
   
• Starting in 2009 and continuing for several years, will be the foreclosures on commercial real estate and the collapse of value in the financial derivatives based upon the commercial properties.
   
• Then the bankruptcy of the many buy-out companies that were saddled with enormous debt that provided millions in profits for the manipulators.
   
• The end of unemployment insurance for the millions of unemployed will inflict even more human tragedies upon the people.
   
• The rise of the permanently unemployed as the pre-2007 economy built on fictitious paper profits and home equities no longer exists to fuel the job market.
   
• The decline of the United States as foreign countries expand their wealth and living standards.
   
• For Americans:
   
  • Millions evicted from their homes, living in cars or tents.
     
  • No money for food and necessities.
     
  • The hopelessness of no where to turn.
     
  • Many suicides.

  Making it all possible has been and is the endemic corruption in the United States, the endemic cover-ups, and the endemic indifference by the victims themselves to what was being done to them. They didn't care what was done to others, until they became victims. Now it is too late.

  Although few people read books detailing and documenting the decades of continuing corruption affecting the American people, for the very few who care to know, they are listed at www.defraudingamerica.com/list_of_books.html.

   

Hypocrisy of Media Heading: "House Looks Into Secrets Withheld From Congress."

The media headline on July 18, 2009, about members of Congress looking into withheld information is a textbook example of the hypocrisy by members of Congress−and media people.

For decades, both groups have withheld from the American people gross misconduct of key government personnel, enabling to be inflicted upon the American people harm beyond the people's comprehension, and grave harm upon national security.

Just a few of hundreds of documented instances includes the following that played key roles in the 3,000 deaths on 9/11:

• Serial murders involving FBI agents in the Boston and New York City offices and the high-level cover-ups. See www.defraudingamerica.com/FBI_murderous_culture.html.
  
• "Deep-sixing" of advance information on several major terrorist attacks on U.S. targets, including 9/11, so as to prevent exposure of the serial murders. Consequences: 3,500 dead and the subsequent ripple effects. See www.defraudingamerica.com/911_people_implicated.html
  
• www.defraudingamerica.com/911_blame_comparison.html.
  
• List of 40 years of reports to bribe-taking members of Congress by government insiders, revealing various areas of cover-ups, www.defraudingamerica.com/letter_list_congress.html.
  
• Years of cover-ups by media people, hundreds of whom have been secretly paid for their cover-ups by the CIA and other government departments. www.defraudingamerica.com/letter_list_media.html.

Making saps out of the American public with consequences that go from enabling 9/11 to occur, to the enormous financial plight of the American people from endemic corruption related to the housing and financial sectors, to virtually every area of life in America. And made possible by the uninformed, indifferent American. Ahhhh, but ignorance is so blissful!!

Matters Not Addressed By
Health Care Legislation

Without addressing the matter of where the money will come from, the following issues are not being addressed by politicians or anyone else:

• There is a totally insufficient number of medical care providers to handle the increase in people seeking medical care. This will result in a huge backlog in people needing medical attention.
  
• Teaching schools are not being expanded to teach people the skills needed for the increased needs, despite the obvious need at this time, let along the needs if universal health care becomes available.

This is not to oppose medical care for all; it is an argument for addressing the fundamental needs that must be expanded for increased coverage to become meaningful.

Ignoring these basic requirements allow politicians to appear interested in solving the problem, a common trait in the United States.

Tragic Future Facing The
Victimized American Public

In July 2009, as the personal and financial lives of millions of Americans continue to decline, the media and U.S. politicians talk about an economic recovery. Some food-for-thought comments:

• The actual unemployment rate is far higher than the official unemployment figures. Not counted ar4e those peoplee who have been unable to find employment and have given up trying, a group not capable of being recorded.
  
• The underemployed, those people whose full time work had been recorded to part time, are not counted on the unemployed figures.
  
• The actual loss of all income by millions of unemployed once the unemployment pay is exhausted.
  
• The continuing loss of homes through foreclosure.
  
  • First it was the subprime mortgage issued to people who knowingly could not make the payments once the teaser payment period had expired.
    
  • Then, from about 2009 to 2011, the foreclosures of alt-A loans made to people that better credit, that provided for low payments for the first few years.
    
  • Then it started with high-income people who lost their employment.
    
• After that, the people walking away from their mortgages that far exceeded the market value of their homes, causing a fur6ther decline in the value of adjacent house, and resulting in, a domino effect.
  
• The failure of businesses that were purchased through buyouts by equity firms that loaded huge debt upon the acquired companies that mad the manipulators of the deals multi-millionaires.
  The foreclosures of commercial real estate, the effect felt throughout the economy.
  
• The reaping of financial rewards by the people bringing about the financial debacles as taxpayer funded bailouts paid to financial firms paid off the speculators in credit default swaps and other financial derivatives.
  
• Among the consequences that are rarely stated by media manipulators, that diverts people's attention to such trivia as Michael Jackson, Nicole Smith, Britney Spears, are such people as:
  • The families forced from their homes, living in cars or tents, without money for food and other essentials.
    
  • The elderly who were living on their investments, and suddenly stripped of every conceivable source of income, with no where to turn.
    
  • Those who commit suicide, unable to cope with what was inflicted upon them by a totally corrupt system, and a public that has shown for decades no interest in being taken for fools.
    
• The withholding of this information from the public delays their reaction to what had been inflicted upon them through massive corruption in and out of government.

One of the many books that focus on the problems is America's Housing and Financial Frauds by Rodney Stich. For a more sophisticated understanding of how the system has made fools of the people, read:

• Crimes of the FBI-DOJ, Mafia, and al Qaeda.
• Unfriendly Skies: 20th & s21st Centuries.
• Congress and Other Cesspools.
• Defrauding America.

Food-for-Thought on Heavy
Emphasis on Global Warming

Global warming is one of many issues facing the United States, and the world, but for various not-so-obvious reasons, it is given extraordinary attention in the United States when the nation faces far more serious and immediate issues and threats. For instance:

• Diverts attention from the continuing misconduct arising from the widespread corruption in the housing and financiall sectors, aided and abetted by bribe-taking members of Congress.
  
• Diverts attention from the as-yet not recognized corruption involving FBI-DOJ personnel related to serial murders involving FBI agents in the Boston and New York City FBI offices.
  
• Diverts attention from the as-yet not recognized by the public corruption of key FBI-DOJ personnel that "deep-sixth" advance notice of several major catastrophic terrorist attacks on U.S. targets−including 9/11. The hiding of that advance information, provided over a nine-month period by a Mafia mole inside an al Qaeda cell getting information direct from al Qaeda top terrorist bomb maker, Ramzi Yousef−the mastermind behind the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
  
• Diverts attention from the consequences of the FBI-DOJ deep-sixing of terrorist plans, including the deaths of 3,500 people, the start of two unwinnable wars, a several trillion dollar debt that must be eventually paid, and much more.
  
• Diverts attention from the many other areas of continuing corruption responsible by a wide spectrum of grievous harm to the American people.
  
• It diverts the easily manipulated American public from major misconduct and scandals that would otherwise cause major disruption in the lives of people that are in key government and non-government positions.
  
• This diversion of people's attention away from more serious matters would not be possible if the majority of Americans were not focused on trivial matters, or if they were heavy readers on matters of material substance.
  
• The government-required changes to address the global warming matters will result in more debt, greater cost of American products and reducing international sales, and diverts money from more immediate needs.
  
• The one-sided handicap resulting from the United States imposing these costly changes while the remainder of the world continues as before, becoming financial power houses while the United States seeks into overall decline.

Bogus Congressional Outrage About Information
Withheld On Planned Attack on al Qaeda Base

During mi-July 2009, members of Congress feigned outrage about White House instructing CIA to withhold information from Congress on planned terrorist attacks on al Qaeda. Compare this relatively minor−in comparison−with the cover-up by members of Congress of the far more serious matters affecting national security that are described in the books, Defrauding America, Drugging America, Unfriendly Skies: 20th & 21st Centuries and Crimes of the FBI-DOJ, Mafia, and al Qaeda. For instance:

• High-level FBI-DOJ personnel withholding information from top al Qaeda cell on several major terrorist attacks on U.S. targets, that occurred because of the "deep-sixing" of the information to protect criminal conduct by FBI personnel. Consequences of the withholding? The brutal deaths of 3,500, that could have been prevented if the various government agencies responsible for defending against such attacks knew they were planned. See www.defraudingamerica.com/al_qaeda_index.html.
   
• The documented corruption of key people in government that made possible the 9/11 attacks. See www.defraudingamerica.com/911_blame_comparison.html.
   
• The above are simply starters on a long list is corrupt activities, resulting harm to Americans, and involving members of Congress.

And then there are those members of the public who for years knew of these matters and choose to remain blissfully indifferent, making possible some of America's continuing catastrophic events.

Tragic Plight of Increasing Numbers of Homeless
Families With No Outrage by Docile Americans

The media, instead of focusing on the increasing numbers of destitute and homeless families−with no end in sight−and the people responsible, have been obsessed with Michal Jackson, Nicole Smith, Britney Spears. And so for a majority of the blissfully happy Americans.

Words cannot be found to describe the hopelessness and the personal and financial harm being suffered by millions of Americans. Yet, the people in government and in the housing and financial sectors that engaged in massive frauds, are being ignored.

Worst, American taxpayers are bailing out many of the Wall Street gamblers that put America in this tragic position, and with the help of U.S. politicians, are taking a second crack at the public.

Preventable Closing Down America's Newspapers

With many of America's newspapers either shutting down, or eliminating their investigative reporters, one wonders if that fate could have changed if the media had not kept the lid on the constant surfacing of major scandals in government.

That which they have reported are relatively mild compared to what they should have reported. Countless scandals have been identified in little-publicized books rarely read by the American public. But if the media had published such scandals, the desire for much of the American public would probably have kept them as readers.

Among the many scandals affecting national security and the lives of innocent people that could have generated public interested in reading the newspapers are those described in such books as the following:

• Defrauding America.
• Drugging America.
• Unfriendly Skies: 20th & 21st Centuries.
• Crimes of the FBI-DOJ, Mafia, and al Qaeda.
• America's Housing and Financial Frauds.
• Congress and Other Cesspools.

Sampling of the Endless Series of Lies for the Uninformed Masses

 The common feel-good expression in the United States is the cherished guarantee of the guaranted right to liberty and justice for all.

Of the countless examples of the contradiction to that euphemistic calming rhetoric would be the practice of misusing government power to silence or discredit td anyone who attempts to expose high-level corruption, would be the following:

• Richard Taus, a highly decorated Vietnam War helicopter pilot who repeatedly risked his life to evacuate wounded American GIs that were surrounded by enemy fire. After he left the military and was an FBI agent in New York, he was falsely charged by FBI-DOJ personnel after he reported to members of Congress:
  • The corruption of his supervisor, Lindley DeVecchio.
  • The corrupt secret arming and funding of Iraq during the 1980s by a covert CIA operation in the New York City area.
  • The scuttling of investigations by his supervisor into Mafia activities.
• Taus is now in prison where he may die before he is ever releases, so as to keep him silenced.
• As for his supervisor, DeVecchio was charged with being a serial murderer acting with the Mafia capo known as "The Killing Machine." That is still another matter, and described in the book, "Crimes of the FBI-DOJ, Mafia, and al Qaeda." 

  ---

  Joseph Occhipinti, INS agent in charge of a multi-agency drug task force, was too successful in halting illegal drug sales in the New York-New Jersey area.  To halt his actions and discourage other agents from reporting drug trafficers:

• • FBI-DOJ personnel filed false criminal charges against him.
    
  • False charges consisted of alleged failure to obtain the verbal permission before investigating bodega drug operations. Compare that to the routine breaking down of doors by law enforcement personnel, who are never charged.
    
  • The false charges halted the drug interdiction operations, including those that funded the al Qaeda cell in New Jersey that subsequently bombed the World Trade Center in 1993.

  ---

  John Carman, agent for the U.S. Customs, was repeatedly blocked from inspecting rail cars coming from Mexico that were suspected to be carrying drugs or illegal aliens. After Carman established a web site describing these corrupt activities, www.customscorruption.com, FBI-DOJ personnel fabricated false charges against him, resulting in his imprisonment.

  ---

  Rodney Stich, former federal airline safety inspector and head of a coalition of other government agents, used his assets to fund reporting and publicizing various forms of high-level corruption. FBI-DOJ personnel falsely charged him with criminal contempt of court for filing federal actions seeking to report the ongoing corruption, as required to be reported to a federal judge (or other federal official) under the federal crime reporting statute, Title 18 U.S.C. § 4. Among the areas of criminal activities that he and his coalition of concerned former government agents sought to report included, for instance:
  

  • Culture of ongoing corruption in the government's aviation safety offices that were responsible for a continuing series of preventable and forewarned aviation disasters.
    
  • Corruption involving CIA assets that included drug smuggling, looting of financial institutions, and much more.
    
  • Corruption involving FBI-DOJ people, including murders, false charges, etc., which were affecting national security.

Every area of blame that made 9/11 possible had been previously exposed by Stich. It could be said that prison, seizing his assets, stripping him of his civil rights while concurrently violating them, helped to make the terrorist acts of September 11, 2001, possible. Proof of this is in two books: Unfriendly Skies: 20th & 21st Centuries, and Crimes of the FBI-DOJ, Mafia, and al Qaeda.
