9/11 Related Corruption Withheld from the Public This site focuses primarily on that misconduct that made possible the 9/11 hijackings, the 3,000 deaths, and the events associated with those tragedies, which has not been the subject of any investigation, and based upon insider knowledge provided by former federal aviation safety agent Rodney Stich. There were three different areas of primary blame for the 9/11 hijackings: The people with the legal responsibility to order measures to prevent airline disasters; The people who knew of the misconduct in these areas and remained quiet; and The people who knew of the misconduct and engaged in corrupt and criminal activities to prevent people from exposing these matters. To start to understand these serious areas--that were also responsible for many prior airline disasters and responsible for great harm in other areas of major national impact--it must be recognized who, and what government office, had the knowledge and the responsibility to order the measures necessary to prevent hijackings of airliners. It wasn't the FBI, the CIA, or any of the other dozen- plus intelligence agencies. The people with this responsibility were the people in the government's aviation safety offices, and primarily the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Airline hijackings had occurred for 50 years prior to 9/11, and on a worldwide basis, many ended fatally. It was also known for several years that people planned to hijack airliners and fly them into buildings. The question then is, why weren't the known, inexpensive, and easily accomplished, preventative measures put in place. The reason these areas were not addressed is that any such investigation would expose widespread corruption in multiple government offices, starting with the government aviation safety offices, that caused or enabled to occur decades of preventable airline disasters. This site provide information, that is further covered in the books written by former federal agent Rodney Stich with input from many other former government agents, on these serious matters. A September 17, 2007, paper presented to the International Society of Air Safety Investigators (ISASI) by one of its original founding members describing one segment of the unpublicized problems responsible for the conditions that enabled four groups of terrorists to hijack four airlines on September 11, 2001. (MS Word) (Adobe PDF) Major Areas of Blame for 9/11 Covered Up by Members of Congress and the 9/11 Commission These serious areas of blame were known to members of the congressional hearing on 9/11, and to the members of the 9/11 commission. Instead of addressing these areas, these did the usual controlled investigation to prevent the criminal and even subversive conduct to be revealed, and focused on what could be called failures in judgment. They focused on intelligence failures and failures to act on known intelligence. These were important matters, but they were strictly secondary to where the primary blame lies. The deep-seated culture of corruption within the Federal Aviation Administration, and criminal misconduct, related to a serious of airline disasters over the past 40 years, was discovered and documented by Rodney Stich while he held the government's aviation safety responsibilities for the most senior program at the world's largest airline, and after being given the assignment to correct the conditions responsible for the worst series of airline crashes in the nation's history. In this position he acted as an independent prosecutor, conducting hearings for six months, during which he provided testimony and evidence of the relationship between the deep-seated culture of misconduct that played key roles in many airline disasters. For decades, the FAA culture and corruption--and involvement in numerous airline disasters--have been covered up by the political board members of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). If this area had been explored, it would become clear why the known preventative measures that would have prevented the terrorists from entering the cockpit of four airliners were blocked from being ordered.

(MS Word) (Adobe PDF) Declaration of July 19, 2003, sent to 9/11 Commission. (MS Word) (Adobe PDF) Letter sent to the head of the 9/11 Commission chairman, September 19, 2003. (MS Word) (Adobe PDF) Complicity in the Primary Areas of Blame for 9/11 Such investigation would then show the people who knew of these deadly problems, such as many members of Congress, and instead of exercising their moral and legal responsibilities, did nothing, thereby obstructing justice that made possible more disasters--such as 9/11. And this only addresses one day's consequences in only the aviation area, without addressing the other major areas and people adversely affected by the misconduct that Stich and a group of other former government agents discovered and sought to report. Some of the more recent letters to members of Congress , and to he Department of Justice officials, show how they were notified. Also complicit, and in a more criminal manner, were federal judges and Justice Department lawyers. The federal crime reporting statute requires that anyone knowing of a federal crime must report it to a "federal judge or other federal officer," or be guilty of a crime. Since Stich and his group of other former government agents had sought to report these matters to members of Congress and to Justice Department personnel, and were blocked, Stich exercised the responsibility to report the federal crimes to a federal judge under the clear wording of the federal crime reporting statute, Title 18 U.S.C. § 4, and a citizen's right under Title 28 U.S.C. § 1361. Key Points Needed to be Recognized Responsibility for preventing airline hijackings. The people holding the responsibility for preventing hijackings of airliners, and other airline safety problems: Primarily, the FAA, and secondarily, the political board members of the National Transportation Safety Board. These areas have been carefully ignored in congressional hearings and by the 9/11 Commission. If this obvious point is not recognized, there is no point in proceeding to the other areas! Primary guilt. The problems in the government's aviation safety offices that blocked the preventative actions being taken for hijackings (and many other safety problems related to other airline crashes during the past forty years). One of many government documents addressing the deadly misconduct deeply rooted within the FAA was the closing brief filed by FAA inspector Rodney Stich as he was completing his role as an independent counsel exposing deep-seated misconduct in the FAA related to a series of major airline disasters. Other attempts to report the misconduct within the FAA and NTSB political board offices included the filing of lawsuits against these government offices for the purpose of reporting and forcing corrective actions. The lawsuits were filed under the federal crime reporting statute and the statute permitting any citizen to seek a court order requiring federal officials to perform their legal duties and to halt unlawful conduct. Secondary guilt. Those people who engaged in actions to block the reports of criminal activities and who retaliated against government agents seeking to make such reports. These include federal judges, Justice Department lawyers, private lawyers filing sham lawsuits, and others who joined the multiple schemes. Contributing guilt. Those people who actively covered up for the corrupt activities, in and out of government, when they had a moral and legal responsible to assist in making the charges known and bringing about an investigation. Blaming 9/11 on "Intelligence Failures" Was Standard Cover-Up Diversionary Tactic The tactics used to divert attention from the primary blame for 9/11 include blaming the success of four groups of hijackers as "intelligence failures," and slow response of military fighters to intercept the hijacked airliners. These arguments presupposes that the only defense against 50 years of prior hijackings was to discover the secret plan of two or more hijackers. That intelligence-failure argument is similar to excusing a bank for losing money left in an unlocked room from a robbery by not learning that a robbery was planned by a small group, rather than blaming the failure to take obvious preventative measures. By using this tactic, only negligence could be identified, rather than the widespread hardcore criminal misconduct that existed. Key Reasons for Cover Up Protecting the System and Participants Major problems did exist in government offices relating that prevented actions taken to halt the hijacking plans. These were included in the misconduct that Stich and his group of other government agents sought to report. These included agents from the FBI, CIA, DEA, who discovered the still-sequestered problems that continue to exist. These problems include for example: The FBI agent who reported drug smuggling by CIA personnel with organized crime groups, who reported illegal arms sales to Iraq during the 1980s, and other crimes, and who was silenced through sham charges that caused him to be sentenced to prison, where he now languishes at Dannemora, New York. The former Green Beret who discovered suitcase nuclear bombs being smuggled from the Soviet Union, and who learned of moles in the FBI and CIA, who was silenced by sham charges filed by Justice Department prosecutors. The head of a multi-agency government task force who was uncovering evidence of drug offenses by a terrorist group in New Jersey, who was prosecuted by Justice Department prosecutors for alleged civil rights violations and sentenced to federal prison. This retaliation halted the activities against the drug offenders, several of whom bombed the World Trade Center the following year (1993). One escaped and planned bombing of several airliners, and planned to ram airliners into buildings. The FBI agents in the Boston office who, with knowledge of FBI headquarters, repeatedly provided the names of government informants to organized crime figures, knowing the informants would be murdered--and were murdered. FBI agents in the New York City offices, who engaged in the same deadly misconduct as was occurring in the Boston office, resulting in the deaths of many people providing information to the government. This type of corruption doesn't get corrected by cover-ups. Drug smuggling by CIA and other government agents, known and covered up by Justice Department agents. The list of criminal misconduct against American interests from Trojan horse insiders goes on and on, and much of it is explained in the books written by Stich and other former government agents . Under these conditions, even if intelligence could be expected to have discovered the secret plans by a small group of hijackers, the deep-seated culture in government offices would most probably prevent the required reaction. Efforts by Former Government Agents To Report Corrupt Activities Many efforts were made by government agents, including Stich, to report the corrupt and criminal activities to people in government who had the responsibility to receive the information, and who either did receive it, or covered up for the crimes when they were given sufficient evidence. In additions to the problems in the government's aviation safety offices, the misconduct being reported included such matters as CIA drug smuggling, October Surprise, CIA looting of the savings and loans and other financial institutions, the illegal funding and arming of Iraq during the 1980s, the drug smuggling involving White House officials during the Iran-Contra operations, or others. These matters inflict greater harm upon the people of the United States, and upon the United States, then the terrorists (until the invasion of Iraq that has had and will continue to have major repercussions). Cover-Up by 9/11 Commission The 9/11 commission's report was thorough in the areas of focus, and thorough in the areas to be covered up. Despite the letters and declarations sent to the 9/11 commission by former government agent Rodney Stich, an former federal air safety professional, and despite the horrendous loss of life in the 9/11 hijackings, and the expectation of additional tragedies if Stich's allegations were true, the letters and declarations were ignored and covered up in the reports. seeking to provide evidence of deep-seated misconduct in the government's aviation safety offices that created the conditions enabling terrorists to hijack four airliners on that fateful day. These writings would also reveal major misconduct in other government offices that enabled the primary area of misconduct to continue. The following is a partial list: Declaration dated April 12, 2004, sent to the 9/11 commission, that details the four areas of blame that enabled terrorists to seize four airliners on 9/11. These include the two primary areas that are being deliberately circumvented, a standard tactic to control any investigation so as to prevent the criminal misconduct of government officials to be exposed. This occurred in such controlled investigations such as October Surprise and the drug smuggling associated with the Contra operation during which the United States subverted the Nicaraguan government.

(MS Word) (Adobe pdf) Herculean Efforts to Circumvent Cover-Ups Using Legal Remedies Stich sought to circumvent the cover-ups by using remedies in federal law. These included the Civil Rights Act, Bivens, Declaratory Judgment statutes, RICO, and the Federal Tort Claims Act and the federal crime reporting statute, 18 U.S.C. § 4. His first judicial attempts to report the criminal activities focused on the Federal Aviation Administration and several of the airline disasters related to the misconduct. Also, against the the board members of the National Transportation Safety Board for covering up for the federal offenses, thereby making possible the continuation of the misconduct and the related airline crashes. Justice Department lawyers blocked Stich from reporting the criminal activities on the argument that Stich lacked standing to make such reports. Everyone has standing to make such reports if they know of a federal crime. Hundreds of people have been sent to federal prison, some are still in prison, for failure to report, for instance, the one-sided telephone conversation relating to drugs. Legal Filings Before 9/11 Reporting 9/11 Related Corruption Lawsuits were filed over the years seeking to report other criminal activities, including those detailed in his various books. This site focuses on lawsuits filed immediately prior to 9/11 seeking to report the conditions that later enabled terrorists to hijack four airliners, the post-9/11 lawsuit filed in the New York courts and in the federal courts in the nation's capital; and the actions by federal district and appellate judges to: Block the reports of the deadly corrupt and criminal activities. Issuing unlawful orders permanently terminating Stich's legal and constitutional right to federal court access, which concurrently halted his reporting of the criminal and subversive actions, and blocked him from defending against the personal and financial harm caused by unlawful and unconstitutional judicial orders that were intended to silence him. Reports Blocked by Federal Judges, Supreme Court Justices, and DOJ Lawyers Federal judges, in an attempt to halt the exposure and reporting of the criminal activities in government offices and covert government operations misused their judicial positions and the power of the federal courts to inflict great personal and financial harm upon former government agent Rodney Stich. The significance of these act, which is repeatedly shown in judicial records, goes far beyond the harm suffered by one individual. They reflect, for instance, upon: The obstruction of justice acts that continued in effect the misconduct that created the conditions enabling terrorists to seize four airliners on 9/11 (and continued in effect the misconduct inflicting great harm upon other national interests and the people tragically affected). Misused judicial positions and court power to issue unlawful and unconstitutional orders against Stich that were intended to halt his exposure of these criminal and even subversive activities. The orders permanently terminated his right to federal courts (which simultaneously terminated his rights and protections under the laws and Constitution of the United States), seized his $10 million in assets that knowingly funded his exposure activities of the criminal activities, and sentenced him to federal prison for attempting to report the criminal activities and for exercising federal defenses against the harmful unlawful judicial orders. Catastrophic Consequences Suffered by the People and the Country The long series of judicial actions enabled the criminal and subversive activities to continue, along with the great harm to the American people and the United States. These areas, and the people tragically affected, are detailed in the books written by former federal agent Rodney Stich with input from many other former government agents. People Threatened with Exposure Insuring that these matters will never be exposed, many people in government would be seriously affected if the truth about the primary blame for conduct enabling terrorists to hijack four airliners on 9/11 were made known to the public. For instance: The vast areas of criminal and even subversive activities by people acting in government positions and offices would be revealed. Many of these criminal activities involved people in present and prior White House positions. These matters were discovered by Stich and his group of other former government agents, including agents from the FBI, CIA, Customs, DEA, Secret Service, FAA, and other government offices. The criminal activities would include those that former government agent Rodney Stich described in his books (Unfriendly Skies; Defrauding America; Drugging America; Terrorism Against America; Iraq, Blowback, 9/11, Lies and Cover-ups) People in the government's aviation safety offices who were and are involved directly in the misconduct and those who knew about it and either did not act, or acted to prevent its exposure. People misusing government offices who were and are involved in other areas of corruption, as described in the books written by former government agent Rodney Stich with the help of his many other government insiders. The many people in government positions who criminally covered up for these criminal activities include (a) Justice Department personnel; (b) many members of Congress; (c) federal judges; (d) media personnel, and (e) others. The most heavily documented example would be in the federal courts, where a long line of district and appellate judges are shown to have repeatedly blocked Stich and a group of other former federal agents from reporting the criminal and subversive activities; the felony retaliation against a former government agent and witness to block the reporting of these deadly criminal activities; the corrupt misuse of judicial positions to accomplish these crimes against the United States that enabled catastrophic consequences to occur. Justice Department personnel who repeatedly blocked government agents from reporting corruption in government, and even filed false criminal charges to silence and discredit those who could make such reports. Federal judges who repeatedly obstructed justice by blocking former government agents from reporting the criminal activities, and also also misused their judicial positions to retaliate against Stich and other former government agents, thereby committing other criminal acts associated with inflicting harm on former government agents. The many members of Congress who had been repeatedly told of these criminal and subversive activities and who covered up for them, enabling such events to occur as those of 9/11. Many of the same members of Congress condemning FBI and CIA personnel for not being more responsive were the same members of Congress who refused to respond to the many letters Stich and other government agents had sent to them, offering to provide testimony and evidence. The many people in the media, including those on CIA retainer, who had been made aware of these criminal activities for years and who covered up or discredited the whistleblowers. This practice escalated in relation to the invasion of Iraq. Members of the public, who had the ability to help expose these matters, but did nothing. Deadly Consequences Justified Taking Repeated Legal Remedies The great numbers of airline crashes, and the many deaths, due to the deadly politics of aviation safety, and then discovery of still other areas of criminal and subversive activities that were also inflicting great harm upon national interests, combined with the cover-ups, caused Stich to try other legal remedies to force an exposure of the misconduct that continued to inflict great harm upon national interests, often resulting in death. Among the legal actions taken, partly to make a record even if blocked by federal judges, was to file legal actions against certain defendants whose cover-ups made them complicit in the criminal and subversive activities. Because of the pattern of judicial blocks, Stich felt that at the very least, the lawsuits would make a judicial record of the cover-ups and the responses by the defendants. These legal devices included, among others, the following: Lawsuit against members of Congress whose cover-ups, obstruction of justice, were federal crimes. Lawsuit against several national newspapers that were part of the cover-up. Lawsuit against Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court. This may sound preposterous at first. But it was filed on the basis that they knew of the criminal acts that Stich and his group of other former government agents tried to report and refused to receive the information, and they knew of the felony obstruction of justice by federal judges over whom they had supervisory responsibilities and who were required by criminal statutes to receive the reports, and who blocked such reports. When these matters are understand, and the criminal statutes and the deadly consequences understood, filing a lawsuit against them was not as bizarre as it sounds. Or, yes, it was bizarre that a former federal agent had to sue in this manner to make a record of the criminal cover-ups by different people, that enabled to occur such great tragedies. Support for the Truthfulness Of These Statements Government documents, including the 4000-page hearing transcript of the FAA hearing during which Stich acted as an independent counsel. Numerous judicial filings in which Stich sought to report criminal activities and that federal judges repeatedly blocked from being reported. They constitute prima facie evidence of obstruction of justice and felony retaliation against a former federal agent and witness. Numerous letters, many of them certified, showing that members of Congress and others in government offices (and the media) were notified of these criminal activities and their relationship to the catastrophic consequences. Letters from members of Congress, top aviation law firms, FAA personnel, and others, admitting to the gravity of Stich's charges. Early judicial records where federal district and appellate judges admitted the gravity of Stich's charges. Respected names in aviation who contacted Stich, supporting his charges. Examination of official reports of misconduct in government aviation safety offices and related airline crashes, including Stich's prior reports of crash-causing safety problems and safety violations. Not Recognized Ripple Effects 3,000 Deaths on 9/11 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. 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. And the many people who knew of these attempts to report and correct the misconduct and who did nothing. What will you do to help expose these matters?
