on Unusual Background From Start of
World War II Throughout Most of America's
Many Tragedies and Areas of Intrigue
Naval Aviator During World War II
-
Rodney Stich has an unusual background. In December 1940, when he joined the U.S. Navy, after which he
became a Naval Aviator instructing in PBY Catalina aircraft and then was
designated a Patrol Plane Commander (PPC) in the four-engine Liberator and
Privateer aircraft. He was the youngest Patrol Plane Commander during World
War II.
International Airline Captain—
Including Japan Airlines
-
International airline captain for many years
after the end of World War II. See
www.transoceanairlines.com.
His primary airline (due to frequent business-caused furloughs) was
Oakland-based Transocean Airlines, which was features in three Saturday
Evening Post articles calked, "The
Daring Young Men of Transocean Airlines." It was a very unusual
worldwide airline. Pilots would routinely be scheduled for passenger flights
within the United States, throughout the Pacific, and to Europe and the
Middle East. Flights varied from passengers to hauling 1,600 monkeys from
India to the United states for the Salk polio program, flying plane loads of
Muslim pilgrims from, throughout the Middle East to the holy8 cities of
Mecca and Medina; being stuck in Iranian revolutions, and much more. Once
the aircraft left the home base, the captains were on their own, handling
decision-making, route planning, and emergency decisions without company
help.
-
In his international airline flying, he
became involved in numerous interesting experiences. Two of these included
flying planeloads of Muslims from throughout the Middle East to the holy
cities of Mecca and Medina; and being caught in an Iranian revolution in
1953. (These are described in his book, David vs. Goliath: 9/11 and Other
Tragedies.
Successful Real Estate Investor
While flying for the airlines, and arriving in
California in 1951, Stich started investing in real estate, starting with a $500
investment, and motivated by a book popular at that time, A Thousand to a
Million in Real Estate. By 1987, these
real estate properties were valued at $10,000. (See
sampling of
properties acquired.)

Becoming a Federal Airline Safety
Inspector During The
Period of Major Aviation Disasters Every Few Months
Stich left the airline industry in 1962 and
became a federal airline safety
inspector-investigator for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) during period of seemingly endless series of
preventable airline disasters. (See the serious
problems and culture in various offices of the U.S. government is History
of Aviation Disasters: 1950 to 9/11, revealing the world's worst
aviation-disaster-related scandals in the world's history and the forerunner of
the enabling problems making possible the hijackings of four airliners on
September 11, 2001.
After a year assigned to the Los Angeles offices,
he was asked to take an assignment to correct the serious problems responsible
for many of the nation's worst aviation disasters. Because of the level of
corruption that he found at this assignment, at
United Airlines—aided
and abetted or fostered by gross incompetence, self-serving interests, and
corruption in the FAA hierarchy, that was shocking beyond comprehension, and
enabling a series of horrific aviation disasters, Stich embarked on a 40-year
corruption-exposing task that continues to this day.
Corruption-Exposing Whistleblower
Activist against harmful and sometimes deadly
corruption in government, from 1965 to the present date. In this role, he
relied upon the information and evidence he acquired as a government agent
and then private investigator, and upon the information provided to him over
the years by a combination of insiders. These insiders included former
personnel in such government agencies as the FBI, CIA, ONI, INS, Secret
Service, former drug smugglers carrying out drug operations for government
personnel such as the CIA, and former Mafia figures. Some of these
discoveries were of matters that have inflicted, or enabled to inflict,
great harm and catastrophic effects, personal and national, upon the United
States and its people. Some of these issues are detailed and documented in
the 1000-plus pages at
www.defraudingamerica.com and the dozen-plus heavily documented
books that he wrote.
Sampling of Unprecedented Actions Taken
Seeking to Halt
Series of Corruption-Enabling National Tragedies
Stich discovered consequences that were
more than overbilling or a lax regulatory oversight. He discovered a practice of
hardco4re corruption of key people at United Airlines and even worst by
people in higher positions within the government agency responsible for aviation
safety. People were repeatedly dying—in a horrific manner—because of the
continuing corruption. The criminal nature of the misconduct that Stich
discovered in the assignment to halt the continuing series of aviation
disasters, and the enormous horror experienced by those who perished, motivated
him to take
actions that
had never before been done, which continued for the next 40 years.
In attempting to circumvent the blocks to
exposing corruption in government, he started publishing books in 1978, and
simultaneously started appearing on hundreds of radio and TV shows as guest and
expert. Today, he has over a dozen
non-fiction books and has appeared on over 3,000 radio and TV shows.
The publicity from these activities caused a
continuing series of other present and former government agents and other
insiders to provide him with information on corruption in other areas of overt
and covert government operations. Combined with his knowledge of corruption
while a government agent and what he subsequently learned, and what he learned
over the years from his many sources, he published books on these matters.

Efforts Not Without Risk
Seeking to protect the public from powerful
corruption was not without risk. He financed his expensive activist activities
using his $10 million in
real estate assets. Seeking to halt his exposure actions, a series of
bizarre actions were taken against him, starting with a sham lawsuit in 1982 by
a CIA-FBI-related law firm, that was barred by law and facts, and continuing
until 2005. These tactics are described in the book, History of Aviation
Disasters: 1950 to 9/11, and associate the silencing tactics with the effects in a
series of major airline disasters.
Decades of
Continual Attacks to Halt Exposure Activities
While
Corruption-Enabling Consequences Continued
Starting in 1982, and continuing at this time, over 100
lawyers, law firms, California and federal judges, misused the courts,
repeatedly violating state and federal laws and constitutional protections.
violating criminal statutes, trying to silence Stich. Several of the
previously uploaded pages referring to these attacks are listed here:

Discovery of
Tragedy-Enabling Intrigue
Unknown to Most People
Starting with his assignment to correct the
corrupt conditions responsible for
the worst series of
airline
disasters in the nation's history, and continuing to this day, Stich and his
coalition discovered
endemic corruption, related to multiple areas of great harm, sometimes deaths,
and sometimes, catastrophic events. A sampling of links provides more details:
-
Incompetence, self-serving interests, and corruption in the government's aviation safety offices
responsible for years of aviation disasters, the latest in the series being
the hijackings of four airliners on 9/11.
-
Criminal activities in other areas of overt and covert
government operations.
-
The criminal cover-ups by federal judges as Stich sought to
report the ongoing corruption, as required by the federal crime reporting
statute.
-
The hoard of lawyers filing sham legal attacking that had as
the primary intent halting the reporting of the criminal activities.
-
The years of cover-ups by members of Congress, who repeatedly
refused to act when a multiple of ongoing criminal activities were brought to
their attention from 1966 to the present date.
Massive

Continuing David vs.
Goliath Actions Seeking to Halt
Half Century of Corruption-Related Tragedies
Until he was given the assignment to correct the conditions
responsible for the worst series of aviation disasters in the nation's
history, as a federal aviation safety inspector, Stich was as naive as most
Americans about the extent of hard-core corruption in government. The level
of arrogance and corruption that was enabling the disasters to occur
infuriated him to such an extent that he embarked upon efforts that were
unprecedented at that time, and remains so, to stop the harm, the deaths,
the catastrophic events caused or made possible by the systemic corruption
and systemic cover-ups.

Sampling of
Corruption-Enabling Aviation Disasters
Stich Was Given Assignment to
Halt
The following are a sampling of the
airline disasters in programs
for which Stich has hands-on airline safety responsibilities. These crashes were
enabled to occur by a deep-seated pattern of
safety corruption that Stich
discovered during his official duties and which he sought to correct. These
efforts led to the discovery of other areas of corruption.
The efforts by him to expose what he and his
coalition of other
insiders had discovered led to decades of brutal attacks upon him, causing his
to suffer serious personal and financial harm. He was corruptly stripped of his
life assets in an attempt to halt the exposure activities that were funded by
these assets.
Several of the nation's most catastrophic
airline disasters occurred
on the program for which he had direct responsibility as an FAA air carrier operations inspector.
Early Involvement
Years-Later Continuation of Consequences
These few examples of the horrors
associated with airline disasters enabled to occur by documented
corruption withheld from the American people. The standard culture of
cover-ups in the United States enabled the corruption, cover-ups, to
mutate into different areas. In the aviation area, although the
continuing series of airline disasters eventually came to a halt for
other reasons, the culture continued, and enabled to occur a number of
easily preventable airline disasters. The inbred culture created the
conditions that enabled four groups of terrorists to easily hijack four
airliners within a few hours of each other and kill nearly 3,000 people.
One of Over 200 Victims Choosing This Way to
Die—
Made Possible by Many Enablers in United States
Other Victims of
the Deep-Seated Culture of Corruption
There were many other forms of victims from the
systemic high-level
corruption. These included for instance victims of the:
-
Department of
Justice prosecutorial misconduct, people being falsely charges with crimes
in order to improve the prosecutors' career.
-
The explosion of
violent crime related to drug smuggling into the United States, in which
CIA
assets were major players.
-
Series of financial
frauds appearing every few years, with the latest housing and financial
implosions surfacing in 2008.
-
Seizure of assets
from innocent people.
-
And
other areas of harm directly resulting from the corrupt actions, or
enabled by that misconduct.
These offenses are described in the
books written by insiders.
Harm
Suffered by People in Other Countries From
Conduct of Corrupt U.S.
Leaders
In addition to the decades of harm
resulting from the systemic corruption of key people and groups in the
U.S. government, affecting aviation safety, financial, human rights, in
the United States, there is the harm from outside sources brought about
by the actions of U.S. politicians affecting people in other
countries—such as the history of invading and killing foreigners—there
are the successful "terrorist" attacks made possible by high-level
corruption, and then there are the foreigners who are also victims from
the same high-level corruption that adversely affects the American, but
in a different form.

9-year-old Killed in Tucson in January 2011.
In criminal law, people are
accomplices, and guilty, if they know of a criminal act and fail to
report it to proper authorities and also to take efforts within their
capability to halt their continuation. And there are endless numbers of
accomplices that are complicit in these crimes and enablers of the
consequences.
Suggestion to people outside the United
States. Become familiar with the documented systemic corruption in the United
States and show the outrage lacking of people in the United States, and:
-
Help expose the endemic corruption that
seem to be acceptable to the
American people, and
maybe wake them up.
-
Help to protect yourselves against the
decades of ham inflicted upon
people of other
countries by the actions of U.S. politicians—supported
by much of the American public. Examples:
-
Serial lying by U.S. politicians
to use as a pretense to invade Iraq and Afghanistan, killing tens of
thousands of innocent people.
-
U.S. politicians
shifting enabling blame from their own corrupt actions that
encouraged and enabled four groups of terrorists to simultaneously
hijack four airliners, and shift the blame to the people of Iraq and
Afghanistan—with the help of a
dumbed-down American public that is mostly too lazy to learn the truth.
His Loyal and Constant Companion
Through Very Difficult Times
Throughout a great part of the traumatic attacks upon Stich, he had one very
loyal companion, his only loyal companion. He was also physical
protection when several of Stich's sources of information were killed or found
dead under mysterious circumstances. That companion was
Midas, his
German Shepherd.
After over ten years of companionship, which provided considerable support to
Stich during great personal and financial losses, Midas passed away on
April 3, 1997. Unless one had that kind of relationship with a near-human-like
four-legged creature, during such difficult times, that bond may be difficult to understand. At Midas' death,
grief-stricken Stich wrote a short memorial for Midas:
Good bye, old pal, you've been my closest and most faithful companion for
the past ten years, sticking with me through very difficult times. I will
always remember my German Shepherd, Midas. Your loving friend, Rodney.
Most Loyal Friend, When Others Scattered
No one can imagine the personal and financial harm that was inflicted
continuously, day after day, for many years, upon Stich in an attempt to
keep him from exposing the corruption he and his many other insiders sought
to report and correct. His friends scattered, afraid to be associated with
him. But he had one loyal companion throughout this period, who recognized
his feelings, his stress, and his tears:
A more personal description of
Captain Rodney Stich's background.
Joined Later in Life by Another Loyal Companion
In 1994, Stich was joined by another loyal companion, Glenda,
also a licensed pilot who received her pilot's license in Oklahoma at
the age of 17 in 1951. For over 16 years they shared their love of flying by many
flights throughout the Southwest, including their favorite flight over the
length of the Grand Canyon.
In 2008, Glenda was diagnosed with Stage IV esophagus cancer,
and months of difficult times. Defying the normal short survival time, Glenda
started recovering from that dreaded cancer condition. But in June 2011,
following a PET scan, it was discovered that cancer surfaced in her lungs.
During this time, Rodney was at her constant side, her caregiver
throughout the ordeal.
In 2008, Rodney had to cancel a speaking engagement in Los
Angeles so as to remain constantly at Glenda's side. A friend,
Ted Gunderson, the former head of
the Los Angeles FBI office, filled in for him. Ironically, on July 31, 2011,
Gunderson died from cancer while on life support. (www.tedgunderson.net)
Nearing the
End of the Twilight Years
In May 2011, at the age of 88, Stich was diagnosed with kidney
cancer. At that time the cancer had spread to the kidney lymph node and into the
blood stream. The kidney and lymph node were surgically removed on June 29,
2011.
Nearing the end of his life, despite the unprecedented
accumulation of various forms of court-admissible evidence of tragedy-related
corruption, that Stich and his large numbers of other
insiders—professionals—discovered, that either directly inflicted, or enabled to
inflict, upon people and nations, none of the information was used. The effort
that resulted in great personal and financial harm to himself, was all in vain.
Throughout the 50 years of efforts, he faced a more corrupt enemy than any he faced in
World War II when he was a Navy Patrol Plane Commander, and suffered year after
year retaliation to silence him.
At the time of this posting, he is still
fighting
the impossible and seemingly hopeless quest to generate outrage using years of
evidence provided by dozens of professionals that also sought to halt the
corruption-generating endless series of great tragedies.
When the end finally comes, Stich would like to have played, The
Impossible Dream from the movie, Man of La Mancha:
To dream the impossible dream, to fight the unbeatable foe,
to bear with unbearable sorrow,
To run where the brave dare not go, to right the unrightable wrong,
to love pure and chaste from afar, to try when your arms are too weary,
to reach the unreachable star,
This is my quest, to follow that star, no matter how hopeless,
no matter how far, to fight for the right, without question or pause, to be willing to march into Hell,
for a heavenly cause,
And I know if I'll only be true, to this glorious quest, that my heart will lie peaceful and calm,
when I'm laid to my rest, and the world will be better for this, that one man, scorned and covered with scars,
still strove with his last ounce of courage, to reach the unreachable star.
Corny, maybe, but that is how he wants to believe that life can
be.

Food For Thought
It is not the critic who counts: not the man
who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have
done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose
face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and
comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or
shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who
spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the
triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he
fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and
timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
Theodore Roosevelt. "Citizenship
in a Republic," Speech at the Sorbonne, Paris, April 23, 1910.
A poem written by Martin Niemoller, relating
to how Germans tolerate Adolf Hitler is especially suitable to most
Americans today:
First they came for the Jews, and I did not
speak out, because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists, and I did not speak out, because I was
not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out, because I
was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak out for me.
Pastor Martin Niemöller
Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984) first
supported the rise of Adolf Hitler, and then upon learning the truth, and
objecting, he was imprisoned. He wrote a poem about the state of denial of
Germans about what Hitler was doing. Probably no better example could be
shown than what has been done to the American people, in their name, while
they ignored the outrages.
