History of Airline Disasters Associated with Corruption and Standard Cover-Up Former government agent Rodney Stich and his group of other former and current government agents, have made available to the public information and documentation on broad areas of corruption in government that continues to inflict great harm upon America and its people, both in the area of aviation safety, national security, and what could be called "domestic terrorism." The information they provide are factual, with a high level of credibility. They have no ax to grind, nothing to gain and everything to lose, by their patriotic attempt to inform the people of the source of great harm coming from Trojan horse type of corruption under their very noses. As with every other scandal of the last 50 years, these problems have been covered up, time and time again, making possible easily preventable airline disasters, including the 9/11 hijackings. Never before has a book like this been written, by a key insider in the government's aviation safety offices. The book, Unfriendly Skies, was written by former federal air safety agent Rodney Stich, who was greatly concerned about the repeated great loss of life in preventable airline crashes, in which the known preventative measures were repeatedly blocked by management in the primary government aviation safety agency, the Federal Aviation Administration--often times called the Tombstone agency. Unfriendly Skies is available in the third edition as a print-book, and as an easily downloadable E-book. Anyone who wants to know the truth about many prior airline disasters, about the human misery suffered by so many from the culture of corruption in the government's aviation safety offices, this is the book. The book describes the changes in aviation safety during the past 50 years. In most of that period, preventable airline crashes were a frequent occurrence, sometimes happening every few months. Due to outside pressures and advancement in the reliability of airliners, the crashes are far fewer today. However, the basic human factor problem in the government's aviation safety offices are still there, made possible by the standard cover-up in government. This culture is responsible for a long list of specific airline disasters, blocked the known preventative measures for preventing airline hijackings, and constitute the area of primary blame for the conditions enabling terrorists to hijack four airliners on September 11, 2001. Unrecognized "Butterfly Effect" Unfriendly Skies, and the other books written by former government agent Rodney Stich, reveals the sinister butterfly effect between misconduct in one area of government and the consequences, the greatly enlarged butterfly effect--as in the events of 9/11. If these matters had been addressed when former federal agents such as Stich sought to report them, many airline disasters and deaths would not have occurred. If the people in the government's aviation safety offices, who had the knowledge and the authority to order the known, simple, and inexpensive measures to prevent airline hijackings--that have been occurring for the past 50 years--had exercised their responsibilities. If the deep-seated culture and documented corruption did not exist in those offices. (Read Unfriendly Skies, written by former federal aviation safety agent.) If Justice Department personnel had responded to Stich's offer to provide evidence of the serious corruption within the government's aviation safety offices. If members of Congress, including those who admitted the gravity of Stich's charges, had exercised their responsibilities instead of engaging in cover-ups. If federal judges had received the information about the corrupt and criminal activities that were being reported to them by government agents under the federal crime reporting statute. If people, including some of those who perished, and some of their family members, had shown some outrage when they heard former government agent Rodney Stich during his over 3,000 radio and television shows describe the misconduct in government offices that caused or enabled prior airline disasters and deaths to occur that would not otherwise have happened. None of these areas--and others not included in this brief reference--have been addressed by Congress or the 9/11 commission. And never will be. Instead, as in the past, the "investigations" carefully shifted the focus into other areas. As it relates to the hijackings of four airliners, instead of focusing on the misconduct by those who refused to order the known preventative measures, the focus was on so-called intelligence failures. And even there, the focus was away from the hardcore corruption in the FBI and the CIA that played major roles in the so-called intelligence matters. But these problems are only a starter: there is much more documented corruption for which "butterfly effects" occurred on 9/11. The widespread corruption by key people in the three branches of government are described in this and related Internet sites and in the books written by and with the input of dozens of courageous government insiders. This insider information reveals the harm inflicted upon other people in areas affected by another form of "terrorism," and which will continue as long as people lack the courage and the character to focus on facts revealed by government insiders. Cover-up by 9/11 Commission Members The 9/11 commission is an excellent investigation into intelligence failures and failures to act on known intelligence. But it failed in its primary duty, to determine the primary area of blame for the conditions that enabled four groups of terrorists to hijack airliners on 9/11. The FBI and CIA, or the dozen and more other intelligence agencies, had no responsibility to order the known preventative measures to prevent the 50 years of airline hijackings. The responsibility for these matters was the people in the government's aviation safety offices. In a attempt to provide insider evidence of misconduct, starting with the government's aviation safety offices, former federal aviation safety agent Rodney Stich sent a number of letters and declarations to the 9/11 commission. Despite his insider knowledge in the area primarily responsible for the 9/11 hijackings, not a single reply was received. The made a number He also sent a declaration detailing information on the primary areas of blame that enabled terrorists to hijack four airliners. (MS Word) (Adobe pdf) No response. By refusing to address the deep-seated culture and corruption in the government's aviation safety offices, and the other areas covered by the declaration and letters, the members of the 9/11 commission continued the years of cover-ups that will surely enable the catastrophic blowback consequences to continue. By their cover-up, many people in government offices--sharing various degrees of guilt for the events of 9/11--were spared paying for their corrupt and criminal conduct. Role of Federal Judges In the 9/11 Airline Hijackings Federal judges at blame for 9/11? More so than anyone can imagine. A record of their misconduct is found in federal court filings, starting with Stich's first judicial filings in the early 1980s to report the criminal activities related to a series of airline disasters that implicated FAA and NTSB personnel. These early lawsuits seeking to report deadly misconduct by former government aviation safety agent with unusual qualifications and experience in the government's aviation safety offices should have been eagerly received. That is, unless the information revealed wide areas of corruption in government offices that would reveal the culture in these government positions. These legal actions were filed under the mandatory crime reporting statute and a citizens right to seek an order forcing a federal official to perform a legal duty and halt unlawful conduct. Numerous other lawsuits were filed in subsequent years as Stich as he learned of other areas of corruption in government offices and primarily in the FBI and CIA. These are the offices where misconduct would adversely influence law enforcement and intelligence capabilities; the same area of intelligence failures that the 9/11 commission concentrated on. Every attempt to report these matters were blocked by Justice Department lawyers and federal judges. With such obstruction of justice actions, federal judges and Justice Department lawyers became criminally implicated in the harm that continued to occur from these sequestered criminal and even subversive activities. Shortly prior to 9/11, Stich filed a lawsuit seeking to again report these matters, and then duplicated this attempt after the events of 9/11. Examining the lawsuits in a list provides a frightening insight into the extension of corruption into the federal courts and the catastrophic consequences from this misconduct. Judges Admitting the Gravity of the Charges, And Then Blocking the Reports In the initial filings, District and appellate judges admitted the gravity of the charges, but argued that these were matters for members of Congress to investigate. Federal statutes clearly required that federal judges receive the information of federal crimes as part of their administrative duties, as required by the federal crime reporting statute. Further, the right to obtain a court order requiring a federal official to perform a legal duty was a responsibility of federal judges. (Members of Congress had been earlier informed of these charges. Some admitted their serious nature, but none would receive the information and evidence. Some shirked their duties with the statement that these matters were not in their area of responsibilities.) In later filings, federal judges initially admitted the gravity of the charges, and then suddenly, reversed their positions and blocked Stich and his group of other former government agents from making the reports. Last Attempt, Prior to 9/11, To Report Corruption Making 9/11 Possible The latest attempt, prior to September 11, 2001, to report to a federal judge the corruption in the government's aviation safety offices, and in the government's "intelligence" offices, was again blocked by federal district and appellate judges in the Ninth Circuit courts (Nevada and California). (MS Word) (Adobe pdf) Post 9/11 Lawsuit in Washington Reporting Corruption that Enabled 9/11 to Occur After the catastrophic events of 9/11, the former federal agent again filed a lawsuit in the federal courts at Washington, D.C., seeking to report the corruption in the aviation and intelligence offices of the government that created the conditions enabling hijackers to seize four airliners. (MS Word) (Adobe pdf) In clear violation of federal criminal statutes and civil due process requirements, District judge Henry H. Kennedy, Jr. unlawfully dismissed the lawsuit almost as soon as it was filed. Again, federal judges blocked the reporting of criminal and even subversive conduct related in the latest instance to the deaths of 3,000 people on September 11, 2001. More details at: Lawsuits relating to 9/11. Court of Appeals Judges Aided and Abetteted Court of appeal judges, Douglas H. Ginsburg, David B. Sentelle, and Raymond Randolph, refused to allow the appeal to proceed, and dismissed the appeal without a hearing or briefing. They ruled that Stich had been permanently barred from district and appellate courts by a 1991 order signed by district judge and former CIA legal counsel, Stanley Sporkin. In this contempt for the 3,000 who already paid the price, these court of appeal judges blocked the reporting of the criminal activities that had already left a trail of catastrophic consequences in the aviation and other sectors of American society, including many deaths. This relationship would not continue as before. If the judges had allowed the appeal to proceed, it would have exposed the documented misconduct by federal judges who have repeatedly blocked the reporting of the criminal activities that Stich and his group of other former and current government agents sought to report. It would have revealed the catastrophic consequences of these cover-ups, and would surely expose other areas of criminal activities that the group sought to report. In 1991, Judge Sporkin blocked an earlier attempt to report criminal activities. If that obstruction of justice had not occurred, it is very probable that actions could have been taken that would have prevented a number of subsequent tragedies in the aviation and other sectors affecting national security--including the catastrophic consequences of 9/11. Any one of these events show the catastrophic consequences from seemingly small events, a scenario called the "butterfly effect." Another Attempt: Lawsuit in New York City Courts A federal lawsuit and related documents were filed in the U.S. district court in New York City, where most of the 9/11 lawsuits were filed. That lawsuit was submitted for filing in August 2002, but its filing was unlawfully blocked for over one year, despite the legal requirement to file it upon receipt. Before Stich was even notified of its eventual filing a year later, Chief Judge Mukasey ordered it dismissed. This dismissal violated the criminal statute that required federal judges to receive reports of federal crimes, and violated civil due process filing right. This case involved the original filing, notices of appeal, appeal and reply briefs, and oral argument before the U.S. court of appeals in New York City on August 24, 2004. (MS Word) (Adobe PDF) Harm Inflicted for Protecting American Interests Stich's attempts to report the criminal and even subversive activities linked to a number of major airline disasters and other areas of corruption resulted in great harm being inflicted upon him by a series of federal judges and Justice Department lawyers. These same people inflicting the great harm upon Stich were also enabling great harm to be inflicted upon others, in the areas of misconduct that Stich and his group of other former government agents sought to report. 3,000 Deaths--and Flashback To the Enabling Corruption! The gravity of the misconduct by people in government who played major corrupt and arrogant roles in the conditions that enabled the hijackings of four airliners on 9/11 requires that extra efforts be taken to convey these problems to the people. This misconduct has been implicated in many prior tragedies, and the present cover-ups insures the continuation of the arrogance and the consequences. To realize the links between the 3,000 deaths and the misconduct that made them possible, consider the following scenario: Men and women jumping to certain deaths from the World Trade Center buildings. Then, flashback to: The arrogant and corrupt actions of people in the government's aviation safety offices that blocked the preventative measures that would have prevented terrorists from hijacking four airliners. This misconduct is far beyond simple stupidity, and is well documented, and well described in Unfriendly Skies and Defrauding America, written by former government agent Rodney Stich. The members of Congress who knew of the misconduct and the continuing series of preventable airline disasters and who either actively or passively coverer up. Government whistleblowers did not stand a chance against the millions in bribes paid to members of Congress by lobbyists and special interests. The Justice Department lawyers and federal judges who repeatedly blocked federal agents from reporting these tragedy-related federal offenses. And who corruptly misused government offices and government power to inflict great personal and financial harm upon former government agents seeking to report and halt these tragedies. The cover-ups by media people and media interests that covered up not only for the deadly corruption resulting in airline disasters, but cover-ups of the decades of criminal activities brought to their attention by government insiders. And on top of all this is the naiveté of the American public that sees no evil, hears no evil, and speaks no evil! This combination has resulted in decades of tragedies for millions of people and the Trojan horse subversion of national interests. The people who jumped to their deaths from the World Trade Center had many people to thank for their plight, a culture that is deeply embedded in the United States!
