The American Way of Dealing With

* First, understand the primary problems that enabled four groups of terrorists to hijack four airliners on 9/11. These problems have been meticulously withheld from the people by the congressional hearings and the 9/11 Commission. These  obvious areas are not recognized by the average person. 

* There were three areas that were obvious problems:

 * The failure to have in place known defenses on the aircraft that would prevent airliners from being hijacked. The people responsible for that area are the people in the government's aviation safety offices, and primarily the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and the political board members of the National Transporation Safety Board (NTS.

* The failure of the FBI to act on known intelligence indicating a hijacking plot was underway.

* The failure of CIA people to learn of the hijacking plot, or act upon it.

* Both the congressional hearings and the 9/11 Commission carefully omitted any reference to the people responsible for failure to order , the measures to prevent airliners from being hijacked. There was a "good" reason for that. To have addressed that area would have opened numerous cans of worms into corruption beyond the comprehension of almost anyone, and certainly the American American. 

* In addition, both the congressional hearings and the 9/11 Commission omitted the corruption within the FBI and CIA that obviously placed national interests second to corrupt activities within those organizations that seriously harmed national security. They both identified the failures of the FBI and CIA in innocent tones, rather than address the hardcore criminal activities that were rampant in these two groups.

If the above facts are understood, then the significance of the following facts should be understood, along with the enormous ramifications for the United States and its people:

* Former Navy pilot, former airline captain, and then a key federal aviation safety investigator-inspector, Rodney Stich, discovered the deep-seated corruption within the FAA that enabled many preventable airline disasters and hijackings to occur over many years. These are described in the books, Unfriendly Skies: 20th and 21st Centuries, and Blowback, 9/11, and Cover-Ups.

* He also discovered over the years, from many other government agents who provided him with information and evidence, the corruption in other areas of government, including within the FBI and CIA. These areas are detailed in the books, Defrauding America; Drugging America; FBI, CIA, the Mob, and Treachery; Explosive Secrets of Covert CIA Companies.

* Obviously disturbed by the many airline disasters and deaths occurring in his immediate area of federal aviation safety responsibilities, and encountering the usual cover-ups, he took, among other steps, the following, over a period of years:

* He reported to members of Congress,  the corruption in government offices that he and his group of other government agents had discovered. Some members of Congress responded by admitting the gravity of the charges, but none offered to investigate, or ask the congressional investigative office to investigate (Government Accountability Office (GAO)). They were aware of the continuing consequences of the corruption on national security and in the many deaths in preventable airline disasters. Stich didn't have the clout of the "K-Street" lobbyists and the bribes that routinely change hands between the lobbyists and members of Congress. So, the deaths and other tragedies continued to occur from the corruption that no one would address.

* As an FAA inspector, he exercised the law in a manner that had never been done before. He acted as an independent prosecutor, conducting four months of hearings,. during which witnesses testified (and lied) under oath; hidden supporting documents were discovered; which clearly showed the relationship between deep-seated corruption and specific airline disasters. The hearing officer, William Jennings, a lawyer from the FAA administrator's office, acted as judge (and to cover up for the evidence). Jennings later became a director for the Airline Passenger Association, responsible for improving airline safety!

* During the hearings, three more fatal airline disasters occurred, each one resulting from the very same safety problems and safety violations that Stich had repeatedly reported, and for which FAA management blocked corrective actions. One airline disaster was a United Airlines crash at Salt Lake City where 43 people were cremated alive.

* The perjury and criminal acts during the FAA hearings, which were federal crimes, were now complicated by the deaths of people who would not otherwise have perished. As a federal agent, Stich reported the crimes to FBI and DOJ lawyers, and to FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover. They all continued the cover-up.

* Seeking to circumvent the cover-ups, Stich went direct to the foreman of a federal grand jury at Denver, Colorado, and appeared, providing an overview of what he had discovered.

* This is where Stich discovered that most grand jurors will only act on prompting from the U.S. attorney, who in that case was continuing the cover-ups.  

* Subsequent FAA retaliation caused Stich to leave government service. The continuation of the deep-seated corruption in the FAA and the related crashes caused Stich to seek other means to expose and force an end to the corruption and the related tragedies.

* His first attempt was using two federal statutes to get the matters into the federal courts. The federal crime reporting statute, Title 18 U.S.C. Section 4, requires anyone who knows of a federal crime to report it to a "federal judge or other federal officer."  The second federal statute allowed anyone to seek a court order requiring a federal official to perform a required duty and halt unlawful conduct.

* This being a mandatory requirement, Stich filed the first of several federal actions in the federal courts at San Francisco. The district and appellate judges admitted the gravity of the charges, but upon motion by the U.S. attorney, the judges blocked Stich from reporting the criminal activities or to obtain an order forcing federal officials in the FAA and NTSB to perform their legal duties and halt unlawful conduct.

* Stich then published a book, Unfriendly Skies, in 1978, which was the first of four editions. With the publication of that book, Stich appeared on hundreds of radio and television programs, describing the corruption and the resulting crashes.

* In 1981, the second edition of Unfriendly Skies described the cover-ups by federal judges and DOJ lawyers, and the resulting crashes and deaths. Federal judges then had a reason to halt Stich's exposure activities, which were funded by his considerable real estate, valued at over $10 million in 1987.

* The publicity resulting from the radio and TV appearances, and the book, caused other former federal agents to start contacting Stich with information of corruption in other areas of government that they had discovered as part of their professional and official duties.

* The combination of continuing airline disasters and the information on other areas of federal crimes caused Stich to again exercise his responsibility under the federal crime reporting statute and his right as a citizen to have these matters addressed. He filed a lawsuit in the federal courts at Sacramento, California, which was assigned to U.S. District Judge Milton Schwartz.

* At the first hearing, Judge Schwartz admitted the gravity of the charges and advised Stich to obtain legal counsel to present his case. But then, a week later, without the required notice of hearing and hearing, Judge Schwartz issued an order dismissing the action—thereby blocking the reports of criminal activities—and combined that order with an unlawful and unconstitutional order barring Stich from filing any papers in any federal court.

* Upon discovering other areas of criminal activities from his CIA and other sources, Stich against exercised the requirements under the federal crime reporting statute and his rights as a citizen. He filed another action in the federal courts at Sacramento.

This started a pattern of coordinated judicial and legal attacks, the results of which—and surely the intent—was to stop Stich from exposing corruption in government offices.

Among the consequences for the United States from these acts were continuation of the conditions in the FAA, FBI, and CIA, that would later make possible the hijackings of four airliners on 9/11 possible. (IF this relationship were understood, and to an insider they seem obvious, endemic corruption in government beyond anything ever exposed would be known to the public.) The following is a very brief overview of what followed:

* U.S. Attorney David Levi (Sacramento, and now a federal judge) charged Stich with criminal contempt of court, for having filed papers in federal court when he was forever barred from doing so by the unlawful and unconstitutional order. Levi was obstructing justice while compounding that crime with felony retaliation against a witness, a former federal agent, and an informant.) Stich was denied a jury trial and then sentenced to federal prison for six months. He was 67 years of age at that time and had just undergone multiple-bypass open-heart surgery.

* While in prison, federal judges ordered the seizure and liquidation of Stich's $10 million in assets, including his home and everything he owned. An illegal and unconstitutional order was rendered by Oakland federal judge Edward Jellen barring Stich from filing any objection to the seizure and liquidation of his assets.

* When Stich exercised his legal and constitutional rights and filed an objection, the objection was unlawfully removed and Judge Jellen charged Stich with criminal contempt of court for objecting to the seizure and liquidation of his life assets. Denied access to his funds to hire legal counsel, Jellen held Stich in criminal contempt of court and sentenced him to federal prison.

* Simultaneous with these judicial acts, lawyers and law firms were filing sham lawsuits against Stich that also sought to strip him of the assets that funded his exposure activities. The first of these was filed by the San Francisco CIA-front law firm of Friedman, Sloan and Ross. Despite massive violations of state and federal laws, California and federal judges joined to insure the success of these actions, and the denial of every procedural defense by Stich.

* Prior to the 9/11 hijackings, Stich made one last attempt to report the corruption in the FAA, FBI, and CIA, that would, during the action, result in the success of four groups of terrorists. That lawsuit was filed in the federal courts at Sacramento, California. (MS Word) (Adobe PDF)

* During the time before Judge Reed dismissed the lawsuit, 9/11 occurred. Stich then filed in that action a declaration to show the relationship between those tragedies and the corruption and cover-ups that were started in the lawsuit. (MS Word) (Adobe PDF)

By this time, federal judges were more interested in protecting the other judges, lawyers, and law firms then in allowed their involvement with 9/11 to become known. That lawsuit was unlawfully dismissed.

* Stich made one last attempt to report the criminal activities that made 9/11 possible by filing a lawsuit in the federal courts at New York City, where most of the 9/11 related lawsuits were filed. Details of that lawsuit can be found at the Defrauding America Internet site and in the books, Unfriendly Skies: 20th and 21st Centuries; and Blowback, 9/11, and Cover-Ups. (MS Word) (Adobe PDF)

* The details surrounding these actions, especially how the judges in the federal district and appellate courts at New York City handled this highly explosive filing, are described in Unfriendly Skies: 20th and 21st Centuries, and several other books.

Despite the gravity of these statements, it is probably that virtually every person who hears about these alarming matters, only a handful will show any interest. And here we have the culture that is endemic in the United States. It is this apathy—or don't give a damn—which shares blame in most of the tragedies that have been inflicted upon the American people.  

The following picture shows one of the many people jumping to their death out of upper floors of the World Trade Center. Their deaths were made possible by the corruption that Stich sought to report, those who knew of the charges and covered up, and those judges and lawyers who acted in unison to prevent Stich from exposing the deadly corruption.



Do nothing, smile, and things will continue to get worse, as they have for years!

Much of the same basic information was presented to the American public starting in 1978, with the first printing of Unfriendly Skies, and during most of the subsequent 3,000 radio and television appearances by former federal agent Rodney Stich. Not a single person, including the next-of-kin of victims in any of the fraud-related airline disasters, got off their ass to help expose these matters, thereby helping to bring about the next fraud-related airline disaster, and the next, and the next, and of course, the four on 9/11. Stand by for more of the same! Talk about courageous Americans!!

Sampling of How Former Federal Agent Suffered For Seeking to Protect American Interests and American Lives:
* Forced to leave government service.
* Starting in 1978, and continuing to this date, over 50 lawyers and law firms have filed various sham lawsuits against him as part of the multiple efforts to silence him. (How silly; The Ameican culture is to do nothing when hearing of corruption in government, the best example is those who continued to support the Bush administration and the endless series of scandals.)
* Corrupt actions by those lawyers, over a dozen Californa judges, and over two dozen federal judges, and Supreme Court Justices, that converted him from a multi-millionaire to a state of poverty as they seized the $10 million in real estate assets that funded his exposure activities.
