Is This Really the Intelligence Level of Many Americans!

Michael Jackson died on June 25, 2009. For days on end, almost every television station and almost every political pundit focused on his death. Apparently oblivious to them−and their audience−oblivious of such important matters as:

• The implosion of Iraq with the departure of U.S. troops. U.S. politicians, with the support of many Americans, invaded the country, destabilized one of the most westernized nation in the Middle East, and resulted in a reported over 1 million dead Iraqis.
• Sending Americans to Afghanistan to fight an unwinnable war, killing thousands of innocent Afghans from bombings by high-flying aircraft, or drone operators safely in the United States.
• The worst financial debacles since the Great Depression−or worse−with massive fraud throughout the housing and financial sectors, enabled by bribe-taking members of Congress, all still in key positions.
• Ignoring information on the corrupt activities of many people in government, including the cover-ups by Department of Justice employees.
• Ignoring the murderous culture of FBI agents, and how these murders played a key role in 3,500 deaths in subsequent terrorist attacks.
• Ignoring the corruption of people in the FBI-DOJ that covered up for advance knowledge obtained from within a key al Qaeda cell of several major terrorist attacks that did occur, which by the cover-ups enabled 3,500 people to be killed.

Obsessed with stories about Michael Jackson, Anna Nicole Smith, Britney Spears, sports, blissfully uninterested in learning about the facts that requires reading efforts, this is America today. Obsessed with an entertainer that appeared as if he were on LSD or some other drug, the decadence of the newer generation of Americans makes the nation well on its way to self-destruction.

That segment of the American people became enablers to some of America's worst tragedies. Details at www.defraudingamerica.com.

Fantasies of Memorial Day

Memorial day, May 25,2009, brought to this former Navy Patrol Plane Commander from World War II thoughts on the actual state of affairs rather than the political self-serving praise of veterans, who suffered great tragedies as a result of the documented corrupt acts of U.S. politicians that are never made known to the American public. The thoughts were motivated by watching the PBS.org presentation of the National Memorial Day Concert in the nation's capitol, at which such politicians as General and former Secretary of State Colin Powell spoke.

For those few who are interested in such matters, a site was quickly erected that can be found at

Credit Card Legislation: People Get Screwed Again

The credit card legislation passed by Congress in May 2009 provides only partial relief from the outrageous and oppressive tactics of the credit card companies. The relief that the federal legislation does not do, but which exists by law in many states, is to limit the amount of interest that credit card companies can apply. The law in many states have an maximum interest rate that credit card issuers or lenders can charge, and anything about that rate is usury, and a crime. For instance, in Ohio, the maximum allowable interest rate is 21 percent.

Credit card companies charge as much as 30 percent interest on credit card balances. But they pay nearly northing for the money they lend out. Many financial houses are now receiving taxpayer money during the so-call bailout of financial institutions for which they pay almost nothing. In addition, credit card companies charge merchants a certain percentage of every charge that is made.

With such enormous profits, into the billions, it is understandable why credit card companies have given tens of millions of dollars in bribes to members of Congress.

Further, legislation that allows credit card companies to increase the interest rates on prior purchasers, of people in financial distress, preys upon the vulnerable while profiting the credit card companies that bribe members of Congress for the right to gouge the public.

What the legislation does do in a way that makes the public think members of Congress are protecting their interest  looking out for their interest, is to:

• Prevent retroactive increase in interest rates−if the card issuers is not late for less than 60 days; or exceed your credit limit; or use too much of your credit limit.
   
• Had to give 60 days notice to increase interest rates;

Those provisions do not help the credit card user who encounters financial problems. Instead, it causes the financial problems to worsen. The legislation seems to protect the consumers−years after changes should have been made, and only made because of the public uproar−continues to give the screws to the public, as members of Congress have done for years.

Comments of Media Attention to Crash of Commuter Plane

In May 2009, there was considerable media attention given to the conditions that resulted in a Continental Connection commuter plane, Flight 3407,  crashing during approach to Buffalo, New York on February 12, 2009. Here are a few comments from a 60-year veteran of flying as a Naval Aviator, an international airline pilot, and former FAA airline safety inspector responsible for safety at United Airlines many years ago, and based upon media and NTSB reports available at this time (May 13, 2009):

• NTSB personnel made a big point that the pilots had not been trained on what to do when the stick-shaker operates.
   
  • Reacting to a stick-shaker is about as natural as it can get. Understanding of what a stick-shaker activation means, and what the pilot must do, does not require intensive training. Just being told about it and the consequences of not doing what is natural should be all that is required and should always be a part of any even half-baked pilot training program.
     
  • As any pilot knows, including a 20-hour training pilot in a small single engine aircraft knows, when the aircraft is near a stall, the first reaction is to push forward on the control column to lower the nose, so as to gain airspeed, and simultaneously add power. While this writer was an inspector assigned to United Airlines, he showed pilots in large jet aircraft (DC-8 at that time), that the usual large loss of altitude with the standard approach-to-a-stall situation, that normally resulted in about 500 feet altitude loss, could be limited to about a 100-foot loss of altitude and a quick retaining of control and airspeed.)
     
  • The captain of that flight, instead of doing what any pilot knows to do to regain airspeed, pulled back on the control column instead of pushing forward, pushing the aircraft into a total stall. The aircraft then did what any pilot should know, and that is to go into what appears to be the start of a spin.
     
  • Also troubling, and indicative of total lack of competency to be operating as captain−or even as copilot−was the failure of the pilots to recognize the dangerous decay in airspeed. Airspeed is the most important element in flying. Without it, the aircraft plunges to the ground, which of course is the difference between life and death. And constant attention to airspeed is almost as natural as breathing.
    
  • Compounding the astounding lack of basic piloting skills was the copilot. As the stall warning sounded, she retracted the wing flaps, an action that increases the speed at which the aircraft stalls, and adancing the critical status from approach to a stall—to an actual stall. That unprofessional—stupid!—move insured that everyone on board would die!
     
  •  The cockpit voice recording showed a frightening lack of experience by the female copilot, who had never been in icing conditions before. She expressed alarm at the appearance of a normal and relatively minor accumulation of ice. That lack of experience shouldn't be encouraging to anyone sitting in the back of the aircraft. The same can be said of the captain, who had repeatedly failed periodic flight checks.
     
• Several statements made by NTSB personnel indicate a poor  understanding of flying and lack of much airline experience.  In the past, while an FAA airline safety inspector, this writer had observed the deterioration in the aviation background of NTSB personnel. That concern was shown several times to me by old time NTSB investigators expressing concern about the low level of understanding about the realities of airline flying.
   
• Information reaching this writer indicates that the poor level of experience and competency in the cockpit today is not rare. One example of this was a United Airlines Boeing 747 taking off from San Francisco airport that experienced a compressor stall in one of the engines immediately after lift-off. The pilot flying the aircraft mishandled the controls in such a way that lift was degraded, causing the giant aircraft to miss a hill on the climb-out path by a reported 100 feet.
   
• These conditions indicate that FAA inspectors were either:
   
  • Not experience and not competent (which this writer discovered of most inspectors at a main FAA facility responsible for training and competency at United Airlines.
     
  • Prevented from taking corrective action by FAA management (a common and deadly condition).
     
  • Apathetic inspectors that did not want any confrontation with either airline management or FAA management that would come from complaints about training and competency levels.

  With this type of incompetency existing despite what should be numerous checks and balances, this writer and former airline captain would fear getting on any commuter airliner.

Explosive Information Relating to Conduct
Enabling Several Major Terrorist Attacks
On Major U.S. Targets

For serious people only, willing to spend the time to read and understand evidence showing documented misconduct that enabled al Qaeda terrorists to easily carry out major terrorist attacks on U.S. targets, despite the fact that a Mafioso mole inside a key al Qaeda cell provided advance information to FBI agents in the New York City offices.

Information and evidence at www.defraudingamerica.com/al_qaeda_index.html.

A sure bet that despite this information, the American public will not exert themselves to show outrage or use it to attack the root cause of the endemic corruption of people in key government positions.

With the election of Barack Obama, the thought was that America could be brought together into a harmonious group after the catastrophic rein of President George Bush and his shills.

The almost total impossibility of reaching that goal was obvious to any thinking and informed person. Many problems faced a generally harmonious America.

False Hope for Americans' Financial Future

As the stock market index improved in late April 2009, media people forecast that the worst was over. It may be for the financial people who, by their reckless self-interest speculation, plunged the United States and then the world into the worst financial disaster since the great financial depression of the 1930s. But the glimmer of hope was one sided. For instance:

• Much of the trillion and more of borrowed taxpayers' money was used for AIG and other financial houses to pay off the speculators, some of whom had no financial money invested except for the small amount used to speculate on the condition of other financial companies. And some of those companies that they sought insurance protections were companies that the speculators, by their wild speculation, caused the companies to plunge in value. So, the American public−more aptly identified as a feeding trough for every con artist−paid for these practices. It is the borrowed money of the American public that is enriching those who brought about the financial debacle and resulting in a temporary increase in the stock market index
   
• For the American public, these are the conditions that insures for many a lifetime of poverty and related personal tragedies:
   
  •  Continued rise in unemployment.
    
  • Continued decrease in the value of homes and resulting increase in the number of housing foreclosures.
     
  • Continuing increase in the percentage of homes in which the existing loans are more than the market values, in which more people will walk away from the properties. This, among the other factors, which will cause a continuing plunge in the market value and salability of the houses.
     
  • Increase in the defaults of overleveraged buyout firms, such as what happened to Mervyns. Financial con artists took over viable companies, fired employees, and saddled them with huge loans so as to pay themselves huge profits. They knew that with any of the periodic slowdowns in the economy, the businesses will fail, putting still more people out of work, many of whom will then lose their homes.
     
  • Increase in the number of defaults in overleveraged commercial properties.
     
  • Continuing defaults in paying credit cards, some of the defaults arising from the predatory increase in interest rates and other obscene charges preying on those in financial distress.
     
  • Increasing number of unemployed people, with the snowballing effects.
     
  • The eventual financial problems from a possible withdrawal of the trillions of dollars loaned to the United States by communist countries. (Remember the hysteria by U.S. politicians about the dangers that Communist forms of government constitute!!)
     
  • The withdrawal of previously loaned money, and the failure of countries funding the huge bail outs for the financial sectors. This could very possibly bring about conditions worst than the 1930's financial depression, under which this writer grew up.
     
• Paradoxically, virtually no protests from the American public about the enormous amount of corruption by people in the housing and financial sectors, made possible by bribe-taking members of Congress. This is partly due to the fact that unlike other public protests, these issues require the exertion coming with serious reading and understanding of how the public continues to be taken.

Overview of Terrorist Attacks Upon the U.S.
During the Past Decade, and Their U.S. Enablers

A highly documented internet site provides a sordid look at several major terrorist attacks upon the United States during the past decade, the advance notice of the attacks, and the enablers in the United States ;that insured the success of the terrorists.

For a look at the enablers, go to www.defraudingamerica.com/terrorism_index.html. That is not a conspiracy site, but a site uploaded by former professionals in the U.S. government, foolishly attempting to inform and motivate people who appear to be blissfully happy with their illiteracy about hardcore corruption in government!

Details in an April 22, 2009, letter to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder: www.defraudingamerica.com/doj_holder_april_22_2009.pdf  More information at the basic site, www.defraudidngamerica.com and in the book: Crimes of the FBI-DOJ and the Mafia. 

This information is provided by a former federal agent that has been in continuous contact for the past six years with the former Mafioso acting acting as a mole inside the al Qaeda cell headed by the infamous Ramzi Yousef.

FBI-DOJ Personnel Withholding Explosive Information On Terrorist Attacks That Subsequently Occurred

While White House politicians were directing CIA personnel to engage in brutal torture activities seeking to obtain information on planned terrorist attacks, high FBI-DOJ personnel were withholding information on planned terrorist attacks obtained from inside a main al Qaeda cell. That information came directly from the mastermind behind the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center and the mastermind behind the planned simultaneously bombings of 11 U.S. airliners department Far East locations. A more high-level al Qaeda source would be difficult to find.

One Leg of a Multi-Legged National Scandal

Prior to the downing of TWA Flight 800, prior to the bombings of two U.S. Embassies in Africa, and prior to the hijacking of four airliners on September 11, 2001, local FBI agents received periodic information from a mole operating in the al Qaeda cell headed by Ramzi Yousef. Yousef was the mastermind behind the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center and the mastermind behind the intended simultaneous bombing of 11 U.S. airliners departing Far East locations. No other al Qaeda source could be more valuable than him, and here he was unknowingly providing explosive information on planned terrorist attacks that would kill nearly 4,000 people. he was probably the most important source of information in the entire al Qaeda group.

The Mole Inside the Al Qaeda Cell

The "mole" was a former Mafia soldier from the New York City area who was in a New York City prison facility with Yousef, and occupying a cell between Yousef and another al Qaeda operative. Scarpa started to infiltrate the al Qaeda cell by passing notes between Yousef's prison cell and the other one occupied by another al Qaeda operative on the other side. Scarpa convinced Yousef that his Mafia group in New York City also wanted to harm the United States.

Scarpa, working secretly with local FBI agents, set up a fictitious Mafia company in New York City through which Yousef make local phone calls that were patched through to al Qaeda members in the New York City area, in Texas, and in the Middle East. That bogus Mafia company was set staffed by  FBI agents acting as Mafia figures. The confidential information about the planned terrorist attacks stated to Scarpa by Yousef was periodically passed on to local FBI agents. That information included:

• The planned downing of a U.S. airliner departing a New York City airport, which eventually did occur with the downing on July 17, 1996, of TWA Flight 800, killing over 200 people.
   
• The 1998 bombings of two US Embassies in Africa, which eventually did occur in Nairobi, Kenya and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, on August 7, 1998. These terrorist attacks killed nearly 300 people and injured over 10,000.
   
• The hijackings of U.S. airliners, which did occur on September 11, 2001, killing nearly 3,000 people.

More information from insiders on this subject is at www.defraudingamerica.com/torture_contradiction.html. If you want to make waves, pass this information along on the various social sites such as Twitter, My Space, Face Book, etc. Amazing what that could do to expose one tentacle of the endemic corruption and endemic cover-ups.
Cheers!

History of Documented Misconduct and
Havoc by America's Politicians

Among the 1,000-plus pages at this site are the following that details this relationship:

• Congressional corruption.
   
• Sampling of the consequences of congressional corruption.
   
• Sampling of letters sent to members of Congress by government insiders during the past 40 years, notifying them of serious corruption involving key people in various overt and covert government positions.
   
• Cover-ups by congressional judiciary committees relating to TWA Flight 800.
   
• Cover-ups by congressional judiciary committees.
   
• Opportunity to rattle the congressional cages.
   
• Sampling of the criminal activities in key government offices that had been repeatedly brought to the attention of members of Congress by the former federal agent behind this site and many other present and former government agents.
   
• Sampling of the harm to the American people that was either directly caused by actions of members of Congress (such as in the savings and loan frauds and the present housing and financial frauds).
   
• Sampling of the harm to the United States enabled to occur by the actions, inactions, and cover-ups of members of Congress.
• Relatively recent letters to members of Congress concerning:
  • Murders involving FBI agents in the New York City offices perpetrated with a key Mafia capo known as "The Killing Machine."
     
  • The mole inside the key al Qaeda cell headed by the infamous Ramzi Yousef, the master-mind behind the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center and the mastermind behind the planned bombings of 11 U.S. airliners departing Far East locations−that:
     
    • Provided valuable insider information to FBI agents in the New York City offices information about several planned major terrorist attacks on U.S. targets. This information related to an expected downing of a U.S. airliner (shortly before TWA Flight 800 was downed after departing New York); (b) the expected bombings of U.S. Embassies in Africa (that did subsequently occur); and (c) the planned hijacking of U.S. airliners (that, obviously, did occur).
       
    • Provided information, shown in FBI documents in the book, Crimes of the FBI-DOJ, and the Mafia, shows that high FBI-DOJ personnel kept this information from being known by agencies that could have taken steps to prevent the forewarned attacks.
       
    • The reason the critical information was kept secret was the need to prevent the mole from being recognized as creditable. That mole−with whom this writer had been in constant contact since 2002−was the son of a New York City Mafia capo known as "The Killing Machine," and was due to provide testimony in federal criminal trails about the murders his father committed with a key FBI supervisor in the New York City offices.
       
    • The nearly 4,000 people who perished in the forewarned terrorist attacks were simply collateral damage in order to protect high FBI-DOJ personnel from being exposed for various criminal activities covering many years, and particularly the murders by FBI agents in the Boston and New York offices.
       
    • Information on the cover-ups by FBI-DOJ personnel concerning the murders by a key FBI supervisor in the New York City offices.

 It is very possible that America's politicians are duplicating the same tactics as they used during the Vietnam War to keep the people from recognize the disaster they brought about by invading another country. Political talk is that program is being made in Iraq, after the U.S. destabilized one of the most stabilized countries in the Middle East, so as to avoid blame.
As U.S. troops start to withdraw, major bombings killing large numbers of people occur almost daily. The possible−or is it probable−sequence of events will include, among others:

• Return of the civil war that raged earlier.
  

• Destabilizing even more the Middle East.
  

• Abandonment of weapons by the United States, adding to the three trillion dollar estimated cost of the U.S. invasion of Iraq.

America's Dismal Future in Afghanistan

Captain  Rodney Stich includes among his background experiences the following:

• A Navy pilot during World War II.
   
• Airline captain for many years, including flying captain for Japan Airlines, holding one of the first pilot licenses issued by Japan. During this period, some of his copilots were former Japanese war pilots, creating a situation where pilots from both sides of the war with Japan shared the same cockpit.
   
• Flying wounded GIs to the United States from the Korean War.
   
• Flying Muslim pilgrims from throughout the Middle East to the holy cities of Mecca and Media.
   
• In Iran the morning that the CIA orchestrated the revolution that toppled Mossadegh and installed the Shah, will eventually led to the 1979 Iranian revolution and the taking of 52 American hostages, and then followed by the corrupt October Surprise operation.
   
• Captain of virtually every propeller aircraft flown by the airlines after World War II and several of the jets.
   
• Federal airline safety inspector-investigator, given the assignment to correct the conditions that at that time were responsible for the worst series of airline disasters in the nation's history.
   
• A successful real estate developer and investor, pyramiding a $500 investment into $10 million by the time corrupt judges seized the assets), which are now worth about $17 million.
   
• Author of 19 books on government intrigue.
   
• Guest and expert on over 3,000 radio and TV shows since 1978.
   
• Confidant to several dozen other former government agents, former drug smugglers working in covert government operations, and former Mafia sources.
   
• Activist since 1964, aggressively fighting a one-man battle against the endemic corruption in government.
   
• The target of continuing legal, judicial and Department of Justice attacks since 1982. The results−and obviously the goal of the multiple schemes, was to halt his costly attempts to circumvent the endemic cover-ups and inform the American of the corrupt activities and tragic consequences adversely affecting the American people and the United States.
   
• The parallel attacks included over 50 lawyers and law firms, over 50 federal judges, over a dozen California judges, all engaged in massive civil rights combined with repeated violations of multiple criminal statutes, including obstruction of justice; felony retaliation against a witness and former federal agent; criminal violations of civil rights that were part of the obstruction of justice schemes.
   
• The attacks by these dozens of people knowingly hindered−and surely intended−the ability to continue to expose the high level corruption. That in turn not only protected the corrupt activities responsible for numerous great tragedies, but insured that the corruption and the tragedies would continue. In this way, all of the participants became complicit, and enablers, to some of the worst tragedies to affect the United States and its people.

Afghanistan: Another American Quagmire

Food for thought from somewhat of a veteran who lived and worked in the Middle East as an airline pilot flying Muslim pilgrims from throughout the region to the holy cities of Mecca and Medina, as it relates to America's involvement in Afghanistan:

•  There is no such thing as victory, or "winning" in Afghanistan for the United States.
   
• Similar to Vietnam, the United States faces defeat in its purpose, having expended hundreds if not thousands of lives and using borrowed money that will saddle future generations, contributing to a possible, or probable, financial depression and all the pe4rrsonal and financial grief that accompanies it.
   
• For political purposes, no politician can reveal to the public the quagmire in which the United States now sees itself.
   
• The American public is being deceived by U.S. politicians and their shills in the media and political pundits, just as they was deceived in Vietnam about the progress toward winning.
   
• Making the paradox worse, are the following matters:
   
  • The nearly decade of U.S. attacks upon Afghanistan was precipitated by the hijackings of four airliners on September 11, 2001, resulting in an immediate deadly toll of nearly 3,000 people.
  • The 9/11 attacks would never have happened were it not for massive and documented corruption from people and groups of which the American public hasn't the faintest idea. Among the many files at www.defraudingamerica.com site is one by clicking here.
     
  • The Taliban are composed of the Pashtun ethnic group, which is the majority of the population.
     
  • The Pakistan military and intelligence sectors brought about the victory of the Taliban after the Soviets retreated, and continue to secretly provide intelligence, sanctuary, and weapons to the Taliban.
     
  • Afghanistan is a tribal culture and as corrupt as it can be. And that includes all aspects of what could be called government personnel.
     

    What defines "winning?"
 

• The United States cannot wipe out the Taliban.
   
• The U.S. cannot convert a totally corrupt society into a law abiding group.
   
• After eight years fighting in Afghanistan, the only segment of the country that is even remotely free−occasionally− from open warfare are Kabul and Kandahar. The remainder of the country is controlled by the Taliban and brutal warlords.
   
• There is no such thing as "winning" in Afghanistan.

• The government's control, what could be called "control," exists almost solely in Kabul and Kandahar. The Taliban control most of the remainder of the country.
   
• There is a great hatred for Americans. It may seem strange to many Americans America is not winning the hearts and minds of Afghans by killing entire families through carpet bombings from high altitude, or missile attacks, hoping to kill a suspected Taliban.
   
• The Soviet Union, which had a relatively shortly supply line to Afghanistan, failed and had to retreat, just as other countries had tried and failed. The United States, with over 7,000 miles distance, has a much tougher task, which is compounded by the availability of  supply routes into Afghanistan.
   
• U.S. politicians misled the people into starting the invasion of Korea that cost 38,000 American lives and thousands more wounded or maimed. The political lies that had the United States invade Vietnam cost 58,000 GI lives and countless more wounded and maimed. And what for? The politicians, and the military-industrial complex, held that the people in those countries should not be allowed to have a communist form of government. So, now who has provided the United States with money to remain "solvent?" Mostly communist countries. 
   
• Possibly, if the United States had focused on Afghanistan after the 9/11 hijackings, instead of invading Iraq on serial lying that only the most illiterate could fail to recognize as lying, it is possible that some semblance of stability could have been achieved. That possibility is long past, and no politicians will admit that.
   
• Here are the probable scenarios that Americans will probably experience:
   
  • Heavy loss of life among American military personnel, all lost in vain, just as the lives in Korea and Vietnam were lost in vain, and afflicted with corruption inside the government of the United States inflicted upon a gullible segment of the American public.
     
  • Eventually, the United States will be forced to flee the country, as it did in Vietnam, and after suffering a huge death and maiming toll, and inflicting a great debt upon the American taxpayers. And if China and other communist countries pull their money out of the United States, a financial depression worst then in the 1930s can be expected to occur. Most Americans will suffer incredible personal and financial problems beyond their comprehension. This writer lived through the great financial depression of the 1930s, and next will be much worst, with rioting and worse.
     
  • The possibility also exists that if the government in Pakistan fails and is replaced by someone that hates the Americans, as most Pakistanis do, all American troops could face a Dunkirk-type of extermination.
     
  • Most politicians would suffer greater if they ordered all Americans from Afghanistan. That will only be done when the causalities and continued losses are no longer sustainable−as happened in Vietnam. Only when the loss of life is no longer tolerable, and there isn't anyone willing to lend money to the United States to continue the war, will White House politicians face the urgent need to retreat. That means abandoning billions of dollars of military equipment.
     
  • The longer that Americans stay in Afghanistan, the greater the growth of people hating Americans and wanting to kill them.
     
  • Americans, for generations will be saddled with something unknown to most of them: the consequences of heavy debts and associated great personal and financial harm to most Americans.

  Making Matters Worse Was America's
  Breeding of What It Now Faces

  Making this scenario even worse, the hatred for Americans resulted from the policies of White House politicians. When this writer worked and lived in the Middle East, most people liked Americans. This writer flew aircraft full of Muslims and never encountered any hatred. The catalyst for the Middle East instability and hatred for the United States has been the financial and military support for the brutal occupation by Israel of the land seized in 1967. Any American politicians that confronts the problem faces defeat at the next election.

  Another problem is that the invasion of Afghanistan was triggered by the hijackings of four airliners on September 11, 2001. By going to www.defraudingamerica.com, it can be seen that documented misconduct by many people was responsible for the conditions that made it easy for terrorists to hijack four airliners and kill nearly 3,000 people.

  This information has been available to the American people for years through related documentary books written by insiders, and on that Internet site. The American public hasn't the slightest information on how they have been taken by endemic corruption and endemic cover-ups. My advice is to brace for hardships that most Americans had never even remotely endured.

  By remaining illiterate about these problems openly described in related books, and by being too lazy or cowardly to act when they do know about it, Americans have brought this mess upon themselves.

  Among the books that address some element state here include:
   

• Unfriendly Skies: 20th & 21st Centuries. (to discovered the massive corruption responsible for the conditions that enabled terrorists to so easily hijack the four airliners on 9/11.
   
• Crimes of the FBI-DOJ, and the Mafia. (This book describes the advance information obtained by a mole inside a key al Qaeda cell providing advance information on several major terrorist attacks on U.S. targets, that did occur, with the loss of almost 4,000 lives; the reasons why that information was kept secret within the FBI-DOJ offices; FBI agents involved in murders, and more. Sounds bizarre? It is, but heavily documented. More information at www.defraudingamerica.com.

  There are more; the full list of related books showing how the American public has been defrauded for years is found at that web site.

  Note: This write loves the United States, but hates what is being done to it by a literal Trojan Horse force throughout the government.

   

   

   

Opinion on the Financial Outlook for Many Americans

The author of America's Housing and Financial frauds has a few comments on the financial health for the average America. At this writing, April 10, 2009, the stock market has started to rebound, and some think the bottom has been reached and that the consumer could look forward to better days. Here are a few things to consider:

The stock market has had some positive days, but this is primarily due to the government, via the taxpayers, putting billions of dollars into such financial institutions as AIG, which is used to pay off the speculators, the people who made bets using a company that they knew did not have the capital to pay on the speculation should the economy go bad. Future generations of Americans will be saddled with the enormous amount of money and the interest on it, paid to Communist countries. (Oh, remember how U.S. politicians kept the military-industrial complex humming by stating how mean communist countries were? Nearly 100,000 American lives were expendable to change the form of government in such places as Korea and Vietnam!)
 

The home foreclosure rate has not bottomed out. The next wave of defaults will be due to the subprime loans with adjustable rate mortgages that are just now due for a major increase in the monthly payments.
 

The home foreclosure rate due to job layoffs will add to the list.
 

Many of the leveraged buyouts of companies have yet to fail. Such companies as Mervyn's failed due to the enormous debt piled on during the takeover, which greatly enriched the buyout groups. Many lenders have held back on foreclosing on the many firms that have not been able to meet their loan obligations.
 

Then there is the massive defaults on credit cards that will be rapidly increasing.
 

It will probably be generations, if ever, in our lifetime, that the economy will be sufficient to get the unemployment rate less than five percent, and very probably, over ten percent. The inflated home values fueled much of the prior spending spree, which no longer exists. Less money to spend means fewer jobs.
 

While the present administration appears to be trying, the horrendous debt being incurred could very well spark a depression, decreased value of the dollar, and massive inflation, all of which paints a scary picture for the average American. Making this worse, although the taxpayer money is being given to such financial groups such as AIG, that money is then used to pay the people who gambled, and had AIG guarantee the gamble that they should have known AIG could never meet if the economy turned bad. And most of them knew that a bust surely would come from the housing and financial frauds and complex derivatives.
 

Since the American public has long been the feeding trough for various con-artists, and the public never appears to react, why not continuing feeding on them?

This writer lived through the financial depression of the 1930s, and was a successful real estate investor from about 1952 until 1984—at which time corrupt federal judges seized $10 million in assets that funded attempts to expose widespread corruption in key government offices..

Duping the American People: Guide for U.S. Politicians

Central to the activities of the members of the House and Senate in the United States are several basic pursuits. These include, for instance:

• The practice of demagogy, using passionate rhetoric that appeals to the average not-too-well-informed American, manipulating their emotions, prejudices, and expectations. The race card is one example, repeatedly claiming that blacks are being discriminated against (when in fact they have preference in government jobs, in colleges, the major recipient of government aid, and despite the fact that blacks have seven times the crime rate of whites; more black men abandon the children that they father during their extraordinary sexual activities.) Using demagoguery, members of Congress manipulate the thinking of the mostly unread public.
   
• The practice of stimulating an increase in the flow of financial contributions (i.e. bribes) from corporations and the wealthy by holding hearings on proposed legislation that expectedly results in a flood of political bribes from lobbyists, corporations, and wealthy individuals. It is a pay-to-play practice that is the norm. Increased bribes brought about proposing restrictive legislation to generate political donations/bribes from corporations or wealthy individuals. Years of this practice has failed to register in the minds of the average American.

Demagoguery Tactics

• Making half-truths, sprinkling in facts that are true but not related to the issue being promoted by the politicians. The half-truths may be in a meaningless sense.
   
• Providing a false dilemma, such as used to support the invasion of Iraq, The people are given the choice of doing what the politician wants done, or to suffer severe consequences. This was done repeatedly through lies by the George W. Bush group (President George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Powell, Condoleezza Rice, and their shills in government and among the media and political pundits.)
   
• Using misleading authorities that support the politician's plans, although the so-called authority is no authority, or known for bad judgment, or is bias or receiving some type of benefit for supporting the politician's goals.
   
• Manipulating emotions of the people.

Being Taken for Fools

Aside from being taken for fools, the American people have paid and continue to suffer great personal and financial tragedies. These great tragedies include such matters as:

• Harm upon individual Americans.
   
• Harm upon the United States.

Suffering Never Before Seen by Most Americans

The great harm being felt by many Americans from the endemic fraud in the housing and financial sectors, caused or enabled to occur by members of Congress and much of the financial figures is just the beginning. There is no way that the use of borrowed money to bail out those who helped bring about the present crisis. The way of life that existed since the end of World War II is coming to an end for many. For many Americans, look in the mirror to see whose denial, cowardice, obsession with adult pacifiers, brought this down upon the American people.

For many other Americans who have suffered, and continue to suffer, their plight has been withheld from the public by "accommodating" media people and other checks and balances.

Comments on the Landing of U.S. Air Flight into the Hudson River

A few comments to a more professional discussion of what occurred on that flight than found in the media.

As it well known, at around 3,000 feet over New York City, within minutes after takeoff from LaGuardia Airport, birds were ingested into both jet engines, causing them to instantly fail. The pilot then did what any trained pilot is expected to do: he lowered the nose to trade altitude for airspeed so as to prevent the aircraft from stalling and then flew the aircraft into the only flat area within gliding range. And that was the Hudson River. Up to that point, even a student pilot with just a few hours of solo flying would have done the same.

Landing on the surface of water is no big deal. This writer had made hundreds of water landings while an instructor in advanced flying in the Navy PBY Catalina flying boats.

The crew of that flight did a professional job of evacuating passengers. This professionalism was helped by the FAA's stringent requirement for yearly emergency evacuation training. As a pilot for Japan Airlines shortly after the end of World War II, the cabin crew even had to undergo a before-flight briefing on emergency procedures.

In 1967, a United Airlines Boeing 727 crash at Salt Lake City with the easily preventable death of 41 passenges. They died because of the lack of emergency evacuation actions by the crew. Scandalous information withheld from the public in that disaster, withheld by the political members of the NTSB Board, was the following documented information:

• United Airlines management repeatedly violated the legal requirement for yearly emergency evacuation training, saving money in the process, and then compounded the actions by falsifying government-required records. In this way they falsely indicated that the training was performed. Instead, the emergency evacuation training was only done every three years, and even then, only in part. Making these deadly criminal acts more serious, it was the easily preventable deaths of United Airlines passengers in an earlier crash at Denver that brought about the most strongly worded federal safety requirements ever issued. That directive clearly equated failure to comply with the emergency evacuation requirements to passenger deaths. This relationship is detailed and documented in the book, Unfriendly Skies: 20th & 21st Centuries, written by the FAA inspector making such reports.
   
• The inspector making the reports suffered major retaliation for attempting to protect passengers by reporting these problems, which was only one of many others—all associated with passenger deaths. Not a single culprit involved in these deadly corrupt practices ever had to answer for their misconduct, and all did very well financially.
   
• Reaction of the public to this type of corruptions and deaths? Yawns!

Getting back to the forced landing into the Hudson River: media people, and people seeking various forms of self-promotion (not the crew) repeatedly referred to the crew's reaction as being heroic. That implied that unless the pilots acted heroically that they would instead head toward the most prominent obstacle.

With the endemic corruption throughout government and other places, and the resulting harm suffered by the victimized public, such as in the ongoing housing and financial debacles, the public needed something like a heroic action. But then, with the standard practice of calling professional ball players and professional golfers heroes for finishing a game with one less stroke, then anyone should be called a hero.

What should have been emphasized by media people was the unusual nature of the events, the fortuitous arrival of rescue vessels, and the luck that the birds were not ingested shortly after takeoff, which would have resulted in the plane crashing into the high density New York City area with hundreds of deaths.

Auto Bailout: Another Example in Endless Instances of American Taxpayers Being Taken

In February 2009, General Motors requested another gift of taxpayers money that would total approximately $30 billion. That request came just months after receiving $18 billion that the American taxpayers had to borrow. That gift was made with the provision that by Feruary General Motors would have cut its costs to become a viable corporation. Instead:

• Employees who had been furloughed from their jobs continued to receive nearly full wages.
   
• General Motors continued to pay the full cost of  health benefits for their active employees, those receiving pay who were not working, and of the retirees and their families for the remainder of their lives.
   
• Continued the benefits that far exceeded those of the taxpayers borrowing to keep General Motors present and former employees  with the lifestyle that the average taxpayers could only dream about.
   
• Labor unions continued to demand rules that prevent the auto makers from using their employees in the most economical manner.
• General Motors offered to pay huge amounts for employees to leave the company's employment.
   
• Remember that many of the corporations financial problems resulted from these lavish perks that were obtained in the past by blackmailing their employer by a series of costly strikes.

The money borrowed by the American taxpayers from communist nations (remember the old bugaboo about communist countries being our enemies!) was to cover the several month period until the two automotive companies could get their costs down. Instead, the labor unions blocked the needed changes, and they are now demanding that the American taxpayers pay an additional $12. Since the current cost structure does not provide for the companies to break even, the American taxpayers are on the hook for billions more. Who would be foolish enough to lend American additional money! And with the present structure in place, the declining car sales, the billions needed when the $30 billions are exhausted will continue to rise.

All this while the taxpayers paying or on the hook for these costs were losing their jobs; lacked health care benefits; were losing their homes and some families living in cars, and other human tragedies.

GM said it could need up to $30 billion from the Treasury Department, up from a previous estimate of $18 billion. That includes $13.4 billion the company has already received. The world's largest automaker said it could run out of money by March without new funds and needs $2 billion next month and another $2.6 billion in April. The only answered is a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing with the government providing the funds for an orderly restructuring of business.

Attorney General Holder Said America is a Nation of Cowards

"A nation of cowards,," said U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder. Why? For refusing to address the alleged bias against blacks. That may be, but NOT as Holder claims. What the nation is refusing to address are such matters as:

• The high crime rate of blacks as a group, reportedly seven times greater than that of whites.
   
• The high percentage of black males abandoning the babies that their  prolific sexual appetite bring about, resulting in the highest percentage of children living in a home without a father.
   
• The high percentage of black politicians charges with criminal offenses.
   
• The decades of harm associated with forced busing of children to please the blacks. Even in the supposedly free United States, forcing people to associate with others whose mannerisms may be annoying is a little too much.
   
• The preferential treatment of blacks in college admissions and government jobs.

If the people paid attention to these problems, they would see how they are the ones being victimized. And that any cowardice, if that is the word for it, is the failure to see how they are being used as bait for politicians seeking to foster their own positions.

The alleged racial bias, while surely true in some cases, is in most cases the normal human desire to associate with people with whom they have common interests. Hells Angeles, for instance, may not care to associate with opera lovers who may hate motorcycles; or, a senior citizen who loves popular music may be repelled by being forced to endure music they consider wild trash by the young who may be on LSD or some other mood-altering drugs.

for the American public to be criticized by U.S. Attorney General Holder, a career employee in the most corrupt of all government agencies, is also a little too much.

Massive Failure by Regulators to Act on Evidence of Endemic Frauds in the Housing and Financial Sectors is a Standard Trait

As this writer has discovered and documented during the past 40 years, it is standard for regulators to do nothing when evidence of fraud—even when associated with continuing tragic consequences—is discovered or brought to their attention.

This writer first discovered and documented it in the 1960s while he held the hands on responsibility in an aviation sector where the world's worst series of airline disasters were occurring, something that lasted for about 30 years. During this time many preventable airline disasters occurred, and many people died a brutal death. This relationship is detailed and documented in several books: Unfriendly Skies: 20th & 21st Centuries; and Blowback, 9/11, and Cover-Ups.

As dozens of other insiders contacted this writer during the past 20 years, he discovered the same cover-up or do-nothing trait in other areas. As examples:

• Massive drug smuggling into the United States by CIA assets and Israel's Massod, landing at military bases and at DEA facilities, these matters were ignored and covered up by members of Congress, Department of Justice personnel, and others. The consequences have been thousands of drug-related killings, and drug-related imprisonment of thousands more. This is detailed in the book, Drugging America.

• Widespread corruption by people in various government positions. This is detailed in the book, Defrauding America.

• Widespread corruption involving members of Congress and people in the various financial firms, and in the medical field. Detailed in the book, Congress and Other Cesspools.

• Detailed description of the fraud in the housing and financial sectors, described in the book, America's Housing and Financial Frauds.

The public had been repeatedly made aware of these crimes by insiders writing books and appearing on radio and television. And as usual, virtually none had the courage to show any outrage.

More information on these books is available. All of these and a total of 19 books written by this insiders are available at amazon.com and other sources, in print and e-book formats.

Why Relief for the Housing
Foreclosures is Very Remote

 Many factors indicate that there will be virtually no relief for the millions of home foreclosures that are and will occur within the next few years. Here are some facts:

• At this time there are an estimated over one million homes that are behind in their payments or where foreclosure actions have already been taken.
   
• There have been during the last two years over one million houses that have been foreclosed on.
   
• There are an estimated four million houses where the mortgages are more than the market value of the houses. Many of these home owners will simply walk away from the property.
   
• The decline in the market value of homes will continue to decrease, due in part to the (a) already large numbers of foreclosed homes on the market; (b) the large numbers of homes now in default and/or in foreclosure; (c) the adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs) that were written in large numbers in 2006 and 2007 will be readjusting to a much higher figure starting in the later part of 2009 and continuing until about 2011. This will result in millions of other homes in foreclosure, further decreasing the market value of the homes; (d) the increasing number of job losses, business failures, factory closings, will add still more to the number of homes being foreclosed.
   
• There isn't enough money that can be borrowed from communist and other countries to bail out these many millions of underwater or foreclosed homes. The promises by politicians to help bail out these millions of properties is nothing but the usual PR seeking political benefits.
   
• The only relief would be for legislation to permit people filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy to decrease the loan balance and monthly payments.
   
• This will further devalue the many financial derivatives, some held by hedge funds and pension funds, and by retirees, extending still further the financial problems.
   
• There are rough times ahead, and this writer, who lived through the great 1930s financial depression, feel it may be worst this time, with great personal tragedies−thanks to the corruption in government and elsewhere (and the unread public's usual apathy about these matters). (Read America's Housing and Financial Frauds.)

Comments on the Ditching of U.S. Air Flight 1549

On January 16, 2009, U.S. Air Flight 1549 ditched in the Hudson River after taking off from LaGuardia Airport. The captain, as expected, handled it in a professional manner.

For the non-pilot readers, here are a few thoughts on the well-handled emergency, as seen from someone with over 60 years of aviation experience, starting in the Navy and then as an international airline captain and federal air safety inspector.

• The Airbus twin-engine A320 struck birds at some point during the climb out. Since the aircraft reached an altitude of about 3,200 before both engines failed due to the bird-ingestion, it can be assumed, with the knowledge now available, that the bird-strike did not occur immediately after liftoff.
   
• When both engines failed due to the bird strike, the pilots followed normal procedure that would be expected of any trained and experienced crew. The pilots lowered the nose of the aircraft to maintain airspeed.  
   
• Simultaneously, as would come naturally for anyone, the pilots headed the aircraft to a touchdown location where there weren't any obstructions. And the only touchdown zone within their gliding range that did not have obstructions was the Hudson River. And that is where the aircraft touched the surface.
   
• Landing on water is not that much different than landing on land, except that the gear is retracted. This writer made hundreds of water landings while a flight instructor in the Navy Catalina flying boats.
  
• The pilots lowered the flaps to lower the landing speed and thereby reduce the damage to the aircraft which would hasten the water inflow into the cabin
  
• Upon contact with the Hudson River, one engine ripped loose from the aircraft, as could be expected.
   
• At the altitude of 3,200 with both engines failed, it was doubtful that the aircraft could have glided to either Teterboro Airport in New Jersey or return to LaGuardia. Possibly a less experienced pilot might have tried that. The results would probably have been catastrophic, if the aircraft's gliding range fell short of the airport destination.
   
• News media personnel described the pilots' handling of the emergency as heroes. Not to in any way take away credit from the flight deck and cabin crew, almost any trained and experienced pilot would have followed the same procedure. Even a student pilot, suddenly losing the only engine, would have lowered the nose to maintain airspeed and then headed the aircraft to where there were no obstructions. What would have been more accurate would be to focus on the unusual nature of the emergency and its outcome, while praising the pilots and cabin crew for performing in a very professional manner.
  
• To the credit of the captain, he admitted that he did what almost any trained and experienced pilot would have done.
  
• Luck did play a role in that emergency. IF the bird strike occurred immediately after liftoff, and both engines had immediately failed, the aircraft would probably not have been able to reach the Hudson River. Instead, it would have crashed into high-density apartment buildings under the takeoff flight path. In that case, it is probable that everyone on board would have been killed and many people on the ground.
  
• It was somewhat comical—or pathetic—to hear aviation-illiterate media people, and passengers, describe the routine actions of the crew as being heroic. However, in the American culture where professional ball players are called heroes, or cringing passengers in a hijacked aircraft heroes, then anyone who was breathing could probably qualify as Heroes. It is also possible that there, in the light of so much going wrong due to the misconduct of so many people in government and in certain financial institutions that the hero label diverts public attention away from the ugly nature of so many people and groups in the United States.

Public Responsibility and Effects Needed as
Defense Against Endemic Corruption

This blog continues to make known to the people of the United States the findings by a group of insiders, professionals, former agents of the FBI, CIA, DEA, FAA, and others; former drug smugglers, and former Mafia figures, and combined with considerable documentation.

It is obvious that what is required of the people, at least those few who have the ability, the character, and the courage, to help. This help can include such mattes as:

•  Reading as much of the material and the related non-profit books that have details of the various forms of endemic and often Trojan Horse-like corruption subverting the United States and its people.
   
• Fortified with accurate information, help to inform others, using such means as the various Internet sources, contacting media people, and demanding of their congressional representatives that they conduct hearings on the matter.
   
• Help provide funds for placing informational ads in the media.
   
• Don't just criticize the few people speaking out, as one recent comment stated by someone too lazy or cowardly to do anything but criticize.

Letter (January 10, 2009) to
New York Governor David Paterson Describing 
Bizarre Misconduct Relating to Al Qaeda Mole
Providing Advance Information of
Several Major Terrorist Attacks

The letter sent to New York Government David Paterson addresses very serious misconduct that played a key role in the deaths of several thousand people from forewarned terrorist attacks upon U.S. targets. If given sufficient publicity to force an investigation, the American public would−or should−be outraged about the ripple effects from still another form of misconduct in government. That letter detailed:

• Murders perpetrated by FBI agents secretly working for organized crime.
   

• A Mafia soldier acting as a mole inside a key al Qaeda cell and providing advance warning of several planned terrorist attacks (downing of TWA Flight 800; bombings of U.S. embassies in Africa, and the hijackings of four airliners on 9/11).
   

• FBI-DOJ officials discrediting the Mafia mole−and ignoring the pending terrorist attacks−so as to discredit the mole's testimony about the murders perpetrated by a key FBI supervisor in the New York offices;
   

• False charges against an FBI Special Agent who was reporting criminal activities related to his immediate supervisor and the illegal funding and arming of Iraq during the 1980s that threatened to expose misconduct by CIA assets and White House politicians.
   

• And more!

Specifically, highlights in the letter follows, with the actual letters at the end of this page:

• Former FBI Special Agent falsely charged with criminal offense, sentenced to 50 years in prison, so as to prevent the American public from learning about high-level criminal activities involving the secret funding and arming of Iraq during the 1980s, the Reagan-Bush presidencies.
   

• Mafia soldier acting as a mole inside a key al Qaeda cell headed by Ramzi Yousef, the mastermind behind the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center and the planner behind the planned bombing of a dozen U.S, airliners department Far East locations.
   

• Advance information provided by the al Qaeda mole to FBI agents−shortly before the terrorist attacks did occur.
   

• Refusal by high FBI-DOJ officials to act on the knowledge so as to discredit the al Qaeda mole. The reason to discredit him? He was to testify about during upcoming criminal trials about the murders involving a key FBI supervisor with the mole's father who was known as "The Killing Machine."
   

• The expected trade off for this cover-up? Several thousand killed in the terrorist attacks that did occur, and which plunged the United States into actions that killed many more, with massive consequences that will haunt thee American people for years.
   

• The sacrifice of a highly decorated Vietnam helicopter pilot who repeatedly risked his life to save wounded soldiers.
   

• And much more.

How Valid is the Bush Administration's Claim that an absence of terrorist attacks upon the United States is proof that it's policies have worked?

Consider the following facts:

• The only reason why four groups of terrorists were able to so easily hijack four airliners on September 11, 2001, was due to a combination of documented misconduct by key people in the government's aviation safety offices, primarily the FAA, and the many people who covered up for these matters. (Details and documentation in the book, Unfriendly Skies: 20th and 21st Centuries.) This misconduct occurred during the Bush administration (but had been in existence and documented for several decades earlier, and the enablers of numerous prior airline disasters).
   
• The most simplest of known measures prevented similar airline hijackings. The ludicrous other measures, including treating infants and children as possible terrorists, has been the extreme measures taken by people of limited experience and intelligence in government positions.
   
• But don't breath too easily. As detailed in the book,, Defrauding America, a number of suitcase nuclear bombs had been smuggled out of Russia through Lithuania and may yet detonate in a major U.S. city.
   
• The actions by the Bush administration have generated the greatest buildup in the world's history of people wanting to kill Americans. That doesn't exactly equate with success against further terrorist attacks.

Some Thoughts on How U.S. Politicians' Self-Serving One-Sided Support for Israel is Responsible for Many Tragedies Affecting the United States and Its People

The one-sided support, funding and arming Israel with heavy military weapons, has had tragic consequences for the people of the United States.

Israel's murderous and inhumane attacks against the Arabs, funded and armed by the United States, has bred and generated the last 40 years of hatred against the United States. Also, for those who care enough to read, we mustn't forget Israel's conduct that inflicted great harm upon Americans. Consider the following examples:

• For instance, the deliberate military attack upon the U.S.S. Liberty that killed dozens of U.S. Navy personnel (while White House politicians pulled back Navy vessels going to their defense).
   
• The years of drug smuggling into the United States by Israel's Massod. (Read Drugging America.)
   
• The spying upon the United States by Israel. (Read Defrauding America and Drugging America for details and documentation.)
   
• The practice of Israel sending its Massod agents into other countries and killing citizens−including in the United States (as detailed in Defrauding America).

U.S. politicians, for self-serving interests, have kept these hostile attacks against the United States and its people secret, and aided and abetted the host of consequences suffered by the people of the United States.

Israel's brutally out of proportion killing of innocent people in Gaza in retaliation for missile attacks by a few shows the culture of Israel. Most Israelis support the brutal attacks and the brutality suffered by thousands.

Many times over have been the scene of badly wounded children lying alongside their dead mothers, with UN relief personnel prevented by Israel from attending the wounded. Anyone, including Americans, who supported these atrocities have the blood of the victims on their hands, and deserve the same that the poor victims in Gaza suffered.

Letter (January 10, 2009) to
New York Governor David Paterson relating to:

Former FBI Special Agent falsely charged with criminal offense, sentenced to 50 years in prison, so as to prevent the American public from learning about high-level criminal activities involving the secret funding and arming of Iraq during the 1980s, the Reagan-Bush presidencies.
 

Mafia soldier acting as a mole inside a key al Qaeda cell headed by Ramzi Yousef, the mastermind behind the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center and the planner behind the planned bombing of a dozen U.S, airliners department Far East locations.
 

Advance information provided by the al Qaeda mole to FBI agents−shortly before the terrorist attacks did occur.
 

Refusal by high FBI-DOJ officials to act on the knowledge so as to discredit the al Qaeda mole. The reason to discredit him? He was to testify about during upcoming criminal trials about the murders involving a key FBI supervisor with the mole's father who was known as "The Killing Machine."
 

The expected trade off for this cover-up? Several thousand killed in the terrorist attacks that did occur, and which plunged the United States into actions that killed many more, with massive consequences that will haunt thee American people for years.
 

The sacrifice of a highly decorated Vietnam helicopter pilot who repeatedly risked his life to save wounded soldiers.
 

And much more.

Why the United States will Continue Being an
Increasing Target for Muslim Violence: a Self-Fulfilling Legacy

This writer was an airline pilot in the 1950s flying Muslim pilgrims from throughout the Middle-East to the holy cities of Mecca and Medina. Most people in that this writer encountered, from Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, and Jerusalem, respected Americans at that time. But U.S. politicians had already started sowing seeds for generating hatred.

As this writer visited the Palestinian refugee camps containing people forced out of their homes by Israel, it became obvious that by the one-sided policies of U.S. politicians giving Israel billions of dollars, military equipment for fighting major wars against unarmed civilians, and providing intelligence, would change the warmth toward U.S. citizens. The giving of massive military equipment and money to Israel encouraged Israel to inflict various forms of brutality upon the Arabs in Israel and surrounding territory. Among the hostility aided and abetted by U.S. politicians was Israel's invasion of parts of Transjordan in 1967. Israel then acted to permanently occupy the seized land by building settlements and continuing to brutalize the people in the occupied territory. 

Despite being at a major disadvantage by Israel's overwhelming military might−thanks to U.S. politicians−but frustrated by years of sham negotiations, people in the Arab territory fought back with primitive weapons. Again encouraged on by U.S. politicians, Israel invaded Lebanon, invaded Gaza, killing hundreds of innocent civilians−including infants, children, women, and old people.

Under these conditions, is it any wonder that U.S. politicians have caused to occur the greatest buildup of people wanting to kill Americans, why the U.S. has suffered repeated attacks on aircraft and other facilities (more than the people know). To think that the United States can escape further and worsening attacks−shows the street-ignorance of many people.

Another one of countless subversive actions ordered by U.S. politicians was the 1953 overthrow of the duly-elected head of Iran that was engineered by CIA personnel. This writer was in Iran the morning that the revolution started. That conduct ordered by White House politicians started the hatred for the United States in Iran.

By continued providing heavy military equipment to Israel−huge tanks, high tech fighter aircraft, bombs and missiles−and turning a blind eye to Israel's development of nuclear missiles−and supporting Israel's invasion and occupation of portions of Transjordan (Palestine), and the killing of hundreds of civilians in Lebanon, Jerusalem, and Gaza, people in the United States can be assured of continuing attacks.

In hijacking of four airliners on  September 11, 2001, the bombing of U.S. Embassies in Africa, and other attacks, are the expected ripple effects from the powerful Israel lobbies in the United States and the pandering by U.S. politicians to them.

Making all this one-sided support for Israel even more bizarre is the history of attacks by Israel upon the United States, as described in the book, Defrauding America: deliberate killing of Navy personnel on the U.S.S. Liberty; stealing of U.S. secrets; drug smuggling into the United States by Israel's Massod.

As described in the book, Defrauding America, suitcase nuclear bombs had been stolen from Russian nuclear facilities, and one of these days, it is very probable that they will start going off in U.S. cities. Unable to defend against the worldwide attacks, in a condition of its own making, the people of the United States will find themselves in an impossible situation−inflicted upon them by their thoroughly corrupt politicians and leaders, corruption that themselves repeatedly ignored, too apathetic to exert any outrage.


U.S.S. Liberty after Wave after Wave of Attacks by Israel, Using U.S. supplied aircraft and weapons:

The following Letters to Every Member of the House Judiciary Committee and Related to, among Other very Serious Matters:

Details of these matters can be found in the book, Crimes of the FBI-DOJ, and the Mafia.

Chance of the public, reading this, acting on it: Nil, continuing the American culture of doing nothing, and suffering the consequences. Most graphic example being the housing and financial frauds that were visible to the entire American public. She sheep did nothing—as usual!

The Following are Some of the Related Letters

Is the American Public the Most Tolerant, Understanding−
Or Dumbest−or Most Arrogant−of Any Civilized Country?
 

Without reaching any conclusions, consider the following, and have the facts answer the above questions:

All of the following are facts with ample documentation, which has been available to the American public, without any reaction from the sheep-like population:
 

 Housing and financial frauds, literal Ponzi schemes, which contributed to the present financial and personal crisis inflicted great harm upon many Americans, and upon the internal and external security of the United States. Large segments of people in and out of government profited from the greed and corruption that brought this down upon the nation. No outrage from the public that wasn't involved in the corruption, neither while it was ongoing, and or after the consequences started to unfold.
 

Series of other financial scandals inflicting hundreds of millions, or tens of billions, upon the American taxpayers. Savings and loans was one of these. People such as Senator John McCain who help prolong the corruption was even considered by millions to be president of the United States after his sordid and expensive role in that scam upon the American people.
 

Serial lying by President George W. Bush and his shills in government offices, in Congress, in the media, and political pundits, that triggered the invasion of Iraq that has resulted in such consequences as:
 

• Estimated two trillion (that's with a "t") in taxpayer money, and interest on that debt, that the younger generation (obsessed with trivia) has yet to pay.
   
• Over 4,000 dead American GIs, over 10,000 wounded and crippled, and an estimated 300,000 to a million dead Iraqis, including infants (plus the thousands permanently maimed) that were no match for the world's most powerful military machine.
   
• The explosive growth in the world's history of people around the world wanting to kill Americans,
   
• Destabilizing one of the most secular and westernized nations in the Middle East, creating instability that will continue for decades.
  
• Culture of arrogance and corruption responsible for a series of preventable airline disasters over the past 40 years. The same unpublicized arrogance and corruption were responsible for the conditions that enabled four groups of people to hijack four airliners and kill nearly 3,000 people. With multiple ripple effects, the list of which is endless. (Detailed and documented in such books as Unfriendly Skies: 20^th & 21^st Centuries; Blowback, 9/11, and Cover-Ups; and oddly, in an amazing way, in the book, Crimes of the FBI-DOJ, and the Mafia.)
   

Widespread corruption, including murders, involving personnel in the FBI and other Department of Justice offices. The facts show that the culture constitutes the greatest source of harm to all Americans, far more than has been done by any foreign terrorists. Discover how a Mafia soldier was a mole in an al Qaeda cell, providing advance warning of several of the nation's most spectacular terrorist attacks, and why his information was kept from the public so as to protect criminal activities of high FBI-DOJ officials. (Details and documents in such books as (a) Crimes of the FBI-DOJ, and the Mafia; (b) Defrauding America; and several others written by a former federal agent with input from dozens of other government and non-government insiders.)
 

Seizure of assets from innocent people, assets that are never returned.
 

Arrogant and corrupt war on drugs by government personnel, and large number of Americans consuming illegal drugs, knowing that they are funding massive criminal activities and tens of thousands of deaths.
 

Practice of false charges against innocent people, some of whom end up with life-in-prison sentences, to justify funding informants and government agents, and promoting the careers of prosecutors.
 

Widespread greed and corruption, starting in the government's aviation safety offices, responsible for the conditions that enabled four groups of terrorists to hijack four airliners, kill  nearly 3,000 people, and set the stage for several hundred thousand deaths in Iraq, over 3,000 deaths of U.S. military personnel, huge trade deficits, history greatest number of people wanting to kill Americans, and much more. Incredible ripple effects from corruption known throughout the United States, including known by many Americans, who refuse to face up to the fact that they helped bring about these tragedies by their determined illiteracy about corruption in government, cowardice, apathy.
 

 Massive corruption of local, state, and federal judges, including corruption in the bankruptcy courts that unlawfully strips people seeking Chapter 11 reorganization of their life assets. See the role played by this sordid group in the events leading up to the 9/11 hijackings. (This is not hyperbole or wild conspiracy theory!) Details in the books, Unfriendly Skies: 20th & 21st Centuries, and Blowback, 9/11, and Cover-Ups.)
 

Decades of endemic graft and corruption involving members of Congress. (Details in most of the books, but especially in Congress and Other Cesspools, and AAmerica's Housing and Financial Frauds.)
 

Lying by White House politicians that preceded the invasion of Korea, that resulted in over a million Korean deaths, over 38,000 American military deaths, and thousands of deformities and other lifelong injuries.)
 

Lying by White House politicians that  preceded the U.S. invasion of Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, resulting in over one million dead Vietnamese—some from the phoenix program—and the deaths of over 58,000 American military personnel and thousands of more maiming.

Much more can be found in the highly factual and documented books written by and with the input from dozens of government and non-government insiders.

Check the web sites at www.defraudingamerica.com and www.unfriendlyskies.com.

And thanks to this endemic greed and corruption, and the American public's "understanding and toleration," they happily accept the enormous personal and financial trauma arising ending in the housing and financial catastrophes, the end that may be many years away. Now, that is what you call a tolerate group of people! And among the most "tolerant" would be those who are most religious, especially those evangelicals who as a group provided the most enthusiastic support for invading Iraq, resulting in possibly as many as a million deaths. Now, that is really understanding and tolerant!!

 

 

Should the United States Bomb Mexican Cities−as Israel has Bombed Gaza and Lebanon−because certain elements conduct criminal Acts? (tongue in check question!)

Many in the United States, especially White House politicians, and even Barack Obama, supports Israel's massive killing of innocent Arabs in Gaza (and Lebanon). The deadly bombing of highly dense cities is based upon the fact that certain elements in Gaza are fighting Israel's brutal occupation of seized Arab land by firing rockets into Israel and causing mostly property damage and a few casualties.

U.S. politicians have made possible for years, with billions of U.S. taxpayers money and military equipment, Israel's slaughter of innocent people. These are the politicians beholden to the powerful Jewish lobbies, who repeatedly support Israel's killing of hundreds of innocent children and others in Gaza (and Lebanon). In this way, America has repeatedly become the target of attacks by people harmed by the U.S. support of Israel's actions.

Using the same reasoning as these U.S. politicians use to justify Israel's killing of innocent people, U.S. politicans "justify" the bombing of Mexican cities and killing thousands of innocent Mexicans. The basis? Mexican drug cartels continue to inflict great harm in the United States, including hundreds of murders, and converting U.S. cities into literal war zones.

Since the people firing missiles from Gaza into Israel have a reason for doing it, the brutal and murderous occupation of Jerusalem and other West Bank land, while Mexican drug smugglers don't have a reason other than to make millions of dollars off of America's drug users, there is even more reason to start bombing Mexican cities and killing innocent Mexicans. 

Israel's murderous and inhumane attacks against the Arabs, funded and armed by the United States, has bred and generated the last 40 years of hatred against the United States. Also, for those who care enough to read, we mustn't forget Israel's conduct that inflicted great harm upon Americans. For instance, the deliberate military attack upon the U.S.S. Liberty that killed dozens of U.S. Navy personnel (while White House politicians pulled back Navy vessels going to their defense); or the years of drug smuggling into the United States by Israel's Mossod; or the spying upon the United States by Israel. (Read Defrauding America and Drugging America for details and documentation.)

Let's not forget the practice of Israel sending its Massod agents into other countries and killing citizens—including in the United States (as detailed in Defrauding America).

But then, anyone bringing up these matters would be charged with being anti-semitic.

The many powerful Israel lobbies would argure that they have a right to continue the killing that has generated decades of hatred against America. Ignorance by Americans of these matters is not bliss!

Of course, there is one little problem with bombing American cities. Thousands of people in the United States fund the Mexican drug cartels by puchasing and using illegal drugs, thereby making them complicit in the drug-related murders that would not occur without the lure of their drug purchases. So, since many in the United States are themselves contributing to the thousands of drug-related murders, the same reasoning has to be modified—for Israel's sake.

Over 6,000 murders in Mexico along, in 2008, made possible by the money paid by America drug users, makes these drug users complict in the murders that they make possible. Should we kill them along with anyone in the vacinity!

And then there is the question of whether we should bomb such cities as Newark, New Jersey, because of the crimes perpetrated there by a small group.  Should the U.S. use its military to kill everyone in Newark to get at the criminal elements!

Should YOU Care About the
Israel's Massive Killing of Civilians In Gaza?

 Should Americans care about Israel's massive killing of civilians in Gaza? Or Palestine? or Lebanon? 

Using massive tanks, the most advanced fighter planes in the world, and sophisticated weapons designed to kill, Israel has used these methods to kill unarmed civilians in Gaza, As a result, in three days of attacks upon the mostly unarmed Gaza civilians, over 500 had been killed and nearly 2,000 injured. The brave men of Israel have killed and maimed thousands of mostly innocent victims, including women, children, and infants. These souls were no match against the overwhelming military might of Israel—and its enablers.

Under various criminal statutes, anyone who aids and comforts a person or thing committing criminal or violent acts against another becomes equally guilty, as a con-conspirator, and guilty of aiding and abetting the crimes. And those who know of these crimes and do nothing to stop them, also become accomplices, as a matter of criminal law.

Israel could not have perpetrated the latest attacks and killing of innocent civilians—or the earlier attacks on the people of Lebanon or the West Bank that was formerly a part of Transjordan—without the weapons supplied by the United States, the billions of U.S. taxpayers dollars, or support by U.S. politicians—and the people they represent, being the American people.

Using that analogy, the United States, its politicians, the people who support these acts, are similarly guilty of the brutalities inflicted upon the victims.

A few facts that people in the United States should consider concerning the aiding and abetting of Israel's conduct:

• Over 70 United Resolutions have been directed against Israel. (Do a google search: "UN resolutions against Israel.) U.S. politicians have refused to support the resolutions!
   
• A treaty between Israel and the people in the land that Israel seized in the 1967 war has been prevented by Israel demanding to retain certain of the Arab land it seized in that 1967 attack, including Jerusalem and certain areas of the West Bank. And refusal to return the property of Arabs in Israel that was seized by Israel.
   
• Israel−and its many shills in the United States−including Congress, such as Senator Lieberman among many others, argue that its killing and maiming of thousands of civilians is justified because the Hamas group in Gaza fired rockets into Israel. This group is attacking Israel for having invaded Arab land, brutalizing its citizens, and refusing to leave, building permanent settlements showing they intend to permanently keep the land. The Hamas group is doing what Americans would do if Mexico seized part of the United States, brutalized the people in the seized area, and refused to leave. Those who fight the invading Israel forces are called terrorists. Therefore, people that attacked the British in the 1700s were not patriots, but rather, terrorists, according to the spinners of history!

The following Reuters news agency report could not be found in most U.S. newspapers:

Published on Tuesday, January 6, 2009 by Reuters

by Nidal al-Mughrabi

GAZA - Israeli tank shells killed at least 40 Palestinians on Tuesday at a U.N. school where civilians had taken shelter, medical officials said, in carnage likely to boost international pressure on Israel to halt a Gaza offensive.

An Israeli army spokeswoman said she was looking into information on the incident at al-Fakhora school in Jabalya refugee camp, on the fourth day of a ground assault launched after a week of air strikes failed to end Hamas rocket salvoes.

People cut down by shrapnel lay in pools of blood on the street. Witnesses said two Israeli tanks shells exploded outside the school, killing at least 40 civilians — Palestinians who had taken refuge there and residents of nearby buildings.

"I am not familiar with the news," Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni said, asked by reporters about incident.

"Unfortunately, (Hamas fighters) are hiding amongst civilians," she said, adding that Israel was trying to avoid civilian casualties.

In a separate incident earlier in the day, three Palestinians were killed in an air strike on another school run by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency.

The deaths in Gaza, home to 1.5 million people, raised to 75 the number of Palestinian civilians killed on Tuesday alone, according to medical officials.

The spike in civilian casualties could prove to be a turning point in Israel's "Operation Cast Lead," launched on December 19 with the declared aim of removing the Hamas rocket threat.

The killing of dozens of unarmed Lebanese in Israel's bombing in the village of Qana in the 2006 Lebanon war drained foreign support for its campaign against Hezbollah guerrillas. Israel said it had not known civilians were in the area.

In Washington, State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said the United States would like to seen "an immediate ceasefire that is durable, sustainable and not time-limited."

International efforts already under way to end the fighting have focused on securing a truce deal that would meet Israel's demand that Hamas, an Islamist group in charge of the Gaza Strip, could not rearm once hostilities end.

"If there is an end to terror, an end to the smuggling of ammunition from Sinai to Gaza, the Israeli fighting will stop," Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said, referring to rockets and other weaponry Hamas obtains through tunnels under the Gaza-Egypt border.

In fighting on Tuesday, Israeli forces pushed into the southern town of Khan Younis and battled Hamas militants on the outskirts of the city of Gaza. Palestinian medical officials said four militants were killed.

According to the Palestinian Health Ministry in the Gaza Strip, at least 629 Palestinians have been killed and more than 2,700 wounded since Israel began its offensive.

Ten Israelis, including three civilians hit by rocket fire, have been killed in the conflict. At least five rockets landed in Israel on Tuesday, including one that hit the town of Gadera, 28 km (17 miles) from Tel Aviv. A three-year-old girl was wounded.

*****

Those U.S. politicians that cater to the Israel demands have complicit5y in these atrocities. And by the same token, all U.S. citizens share part of the blame.

The Israel lobbies in the United States are so powerful that no politicians can oppose these brutal and deadly acts without being targeted for defeat and without being called anti-Semitic. So powerful are these groups that Americans are fed a daily barrage of support by media people and politician pundits, willing to subvert national interests for their own greed and self-interests.

Americans will continue to pay heavily for supplying Israel with the military weapons used to kill civilians in Gaza, in Lebanon, and in Palestine and for its brutal acts.

Here are some facts that Americans should consider, presented by a former airline captain who lived and worked in the Middle East many years ago, at a time when Arabs and Iranians were friends of America:

• The missile firings by Hamas into Israel are due to the frustration of not only the invasion and occupation that occurred since 1967, but the brutal killing by Israel of Arabs in the occupied territory, in Gaza, and in Lebanon. They seek to regain the seized land, in acts that surely are David vs. Goliath in nature.
   
• Israel's response to these rarely fatal missile attacks by killing hundreds of innocent civilians, increases the desire to kill Americans, and fuels the growth of what are called terrorists whose anger is fueled by America's arming, funding, and encouragement of these acts. including 
   
• Israel's deadly response to the missile firings would be similar to the United States bombing and killings thousands of Mexicans. Actually, thousands of people in Mexico are doing far greater harm upon the people of the United States, and national security, by another form of  so-called "terrorism." The drug smuggling into the United States, and thousands of murders a year by Mexican drug cartels in Mexico and the United States. And who funds these brutal crimes? The American drug users who financially support the murderous drug smugglers!
   
• Hamas' anger is similar to what courageous Americans would do if another country, for instance, Mexico, were to invade and occupy parts of the United States, and brutalize the people in the occupied land, as Israel has done since 1967.
   
• Hamas' anger is fueled by the phony efforts by U.S. politicians claiming to seek a solution to Israel's occupation, recognizing the talks as phony as Israel continues to build settlements in the occupied territory (that they obviously have no intention of giving up).
   
• The one-sided military buildup of Israel by the United States, furnishing military weapons and money that are knowingly used against Arabs who are fighting Israel’s invasion of Arab land in 1967 and the subsequent brutal occupation by Israel. This policy formed the birth of the continuing increasing in people wanting to harm the United States. The United States call these people terrorists, for seeking to halt the brutal occupation by Israel. The hijackings of four airliners on September 11, 2001, were a ripple effect from the United States aiding and abetting Israel's brutal occupation and killing of thousands of innocent civilians in Palestine, Gaza, and Lebanon.
   

Food for Thought

The present housing and financial debacles are resulting from the same type of arrogant and corrupt culture that this writer and others have detailed, documented, and sought to make known to the attention of the American public for over 30 years. The resulting personal and financial tragedies, deaths and suicides associated with them, are now becoming visible to the American people.

What isn't known to most of them are such matters as (a) the people in the past who have been victimized by this culture; (b) the existence and nature of the corruption; and (c) the people responsible for the present tragedies.

One answer for those few who want to know, and even the fewer of those who have the courage, character, and integrity to do something about it, here are a few suggestions:

• Read the most current of the detailed and documented books written by this writer that has had the input from dozens of other insiders with professional backgrounds and factual information. The following books relate to the most current matters (and are available in print or ebook formats, including from www.amazon.com:
   
  • Crimes of the FBI-CIA, and the Mafia.
     
  • Congress and Other Cesspools.
     
  • America's Housing and Financial Frauds.
     
  • Unfriendly Skies: 20th & 21st Centuries.
     
  • Iraq, Lies, Cover-Ups, and Consequences.
     
  • Blowback, 9/11, and Cover-Ups.
     
• After reading these books, then read the following, which shows the same culture as responsible for today's more publicized corruption and tragedies:
   
  • Defrauding America.
     
  • Drugging America.

  There are others, but these will give anyone a more thorough and accurate understanding of the Trojan horse type of corruption that has been and continues to subvert the interests of the United States and its people.

Trying to bring this information to the American people, and trying to fight it by himself, this writer has suffered personal and financial outrages, combined with massive civil and constitutional violations, far beyond the apple-pie myopia most people have of life in the United States. If more funds were available, these matters could be more highly publicized.

For those who may care to help with funding that will enable the spreading of this information in more media outlets, go to the Ombudsmen to Promote Government Integrity site and make a contribution.

Are America's Politicians Acting
As Proxy for the American People?

Food for thought: Are America's leaders a proxy for the American People? A proxy is someone who had the authority to act for someone else. Since political leaders such as President George W. Bush, and members of  Congress, authorized the invasion of a weak country, Iraq, resulting in over a million deaths, does that make those members of the American public that supported Bush, and/or approved the invasion, responsible for the deaths, misery, destruction of entire cities?

And if so, should they suffer the consequences of such brutal conduct?

A Few Thoughts On Home Foreclosures

Here are a few thoughts on the many proposals to address the increasing home foreclosure problems, provided by a former investor in considerable real estate,

• A majority of all homes in the United States have mortgages in excess of the market value.
  
• With the continuing decrease in the market value of houses, the number of houses with mortgages in excess of the market value will continue.
   
• In December 2008, it had been reported that one out of ten homes were either in foreclosure or at least one month behind in their payments. That number will be expected to increase with the huge number of job losses and economic downturn.
   
• Many home owners that have mortgages greater than the decreasing market value of the property will simply walk away rather than continue making payments.
   
• Any relief given to houses in foreclosure would have to come from great reduction in the amount of the mortgage balance, a reduction in the interest rates, and a reduction in the monthly payments.
   
• Most mortgages had been put into mortgage-backed securities, preventing the mortgage holding or servicing companies from changing the mortgage terms.
   
• Almost any relief would require that taxpayers pay the cost.
   
• Any reduction in the size of the mortgage, month payment, or interest would antagonize other home owners.
   
• There isn't enough money, borrowed in most cases from foreign countries, to cover the cost of such changes.
   
• The only, though painful, course is to allow the foreclosures to occur. The future of the United States' financial picture is very dark, and sure to result in one crisis after the other.
   
• Many people are to blame for these conditions. the same culture responsible for the present financial debacles as has been and will continue to be responsible for other tragedies, It is this culture that has made it so easy for a group of insiders to write 19 books on the subject.
   
• Cheers!

Should the Government Start Paying Billions of Taxpayers Dollars to Continue Paying Huge Deficits for the Big Three Automotive Companies?

Here are a few thoughts from someone who lived through the great financial depression of the 1930s:

The big three auto companies are saddled with huge costs that billions of taxpayers’ dollars cannot correct. The auto makers have raised the request for taxpayer funds from $25 billion to $35 billion in a period of a couple of weeks, revealing the extent of the increasing losses. And this is only the start.

Any taxpayer money given to the three automakers at this time will be money down the drain that will never be recovered. In addition, it has been estimated that within a year the automakers would need an additional $125 billion from the taxpayers.

The claim that providing an initial $35 billions of dollars will enable the auto makers to make a profit until more fuel-efficient vehicles are built is a fantasy.

Latest and Most Widespread Version of
the Great American Feeding Trough

    In the various books written by a former federal agent with input by dozens of other insiders, the tactics used against the American people is similar to they being a feeding trough. Those in control of key government and non-government entities feed upon the general public, so unread and so unsophisticated in these matters that they suffer one tragedy after the other without any clue as to those responsible.
    Most of the books focus on some particular area, and the victims are single victims among many, and receive no attention. However, the latest fraud inflicted upon the American people, involving arrogance and fraud throughout government and non-government entities, inflicts such a great percentage of the America people, that it is capable of finally generating outrage among the few people capable and willing to show it. 
    The details are in the book, America's Housing and Financial Frauds.
    The huge housing and financial frauds that involved people in vast sectors of industry, their corrupt actions protected by bribe−taking members of Congress (and they WERE bribes despite the label put on them), and protected by key people in charge of the regulator agencies. 
    The results are horrendous personal and financial losses, the end of which is nowhere in sight. If you think things are rough now, stick around and you'll see how rough they can be. Spoken by someone who lived through the great financial depression of the 1930s. Details in the book, America's Housing and Financial Frauds. 
    Where other areas of corruption have victimized a randomized segment of the public, and not on the public's radar screen, the great personal and financial harm inflicted upon a huge segment of the American public opens a new phase of how the American public is affected by the "feeding trough."
    There is much more, but this is a start.

Decades of Denial by the American People

    After 40 years of providing insider information to the American public (over 3,000 radio and TV appearances and over a dozen books), with failure of most people to react, it is easy to assume that the situation is hopeless. 
    However, there is always the slim chance that enough good people who finally show courage and moral outrage to read about these despicable areas of corruption and help to stop the terrible consequences. Admittedly, this probably won't occur until this writer is long gone. If then!

What Good Americans Must Do to Reduce the Great Harm and Tragedies to the Country and Its People by the Mutating Corruption That is Destroying Countless Lives and the Country's Survival

One visitor to this site said that nothing was said about how to correct the problems stated here. In response, the person behind this blog site makes the following comments:

• At www.defraudingamerica.com, there is considerable information about the various forms of corruption that the author and his large group of insiders have tried to make known to the American people. That is just the start.
   

• Anyone truly interested in protecting the country and its people from the insidious and corrupt activities described at that site, must first learn the facts from sophisticated and knowledgeable insiders. They must recognize the harm that has already been inflicted upon the people and the country by Trojan horse conduct, or that which could meet the definition of subversive. They must themselves be convinced that these matters are true, and not the standard ramblings of those with no experience and knowledge of the matter. Remember that much of the material on the Internet is from people with no background or experience in the area, and usually incorrect−or ridiculous.
   

• Read as many of the 16 highly detailed and documented books that reveal vast areas of tragedy-related corruption could meet the criteria for a high-level college course on corruption in government. And the shills outside of government, along with the tragic and sometimes deadly consequences. Promoting these books is not a profit endeaver. The cost for preparing these books has been far more than the income received. Rather than enjoying his at-one-time riches, this person has foolishly sacrificed to protect a mostly don't-give-a-damn public that typified the Ignorance is Bliss attitude.
   

• Armed with sufficient knowledge, people can log onto various blog sites, or make their own, and vigorously write about these matters and where the supporting material is located. Also, make donations that will be used exclusively for placing information ads in various media. But do something!
   

• Make tax-deductible donations to help funds information-type ads in various media publication. The person behind the efforts to inform the people has suffered incredible personal and financial harm at the hands of those seeking to keep the public unaware of these matters. The $10 million in California real estate corruptly seized from him to silence his efforts, are now worth about $20 million. And he is essentially stripped of his entire life's assets. For what?

Recognize Some of the Harm to People−and the Country−Resulting From the Widespread Corruption Detailed and Documented in the Books, and Public's Complicity Through Determined Ignorance or Apathy

These are just a very few of the areas of corruption detailed and documented in the books, starting from when this person discovered, documented, and started reporting them:

• List of specific airline crashes, including many deaths, that were enabled to occur from arrogance and corruption in certain government and non-government entities. Some happened on programs and airlines for which this writer had primary hands-on safety responsibilities. Discover what was done to him when he sought to protect vital U.S. interests that were being harmed by the corruption. Details and documents in the book, Unfriendly Skies: 20th & 21st Centuries.
   

• Thousands of innocent people falsely charged with crimes and sent to prison, some for life. Details in the books, Defrauding America and Drugging America.
   

• Thousands of people stripped of their life assets in the forfeiture program, who are then never charged, or found innocent.
   

• Brutal crimes associated with drug smuggling into the United States, much of it smuggled by people in or associated with the CIA, and protected through cover-ups by members of Congress, media people, and others. Detailed in the books, Drugging America and Defrauding America.
   

• Murders and other Crimes by FBI personnel, especially in the Boston and New York offices, the information provided by a former Mafia soldier acting as a mole in the al Qaeda cell headed by Ramzi Yousef, and information provided to the FBI by him about terrorist attacks that were planned, and then carried out. Find out why high FBI and other Department of Justice personnel kept the warnings secret−enabling a massive loss of lives. Details in the book, Crimes of the FBI-DOJ, and the Mafia.
   

• Catastrophic financial implosion resulting from the frauds involving the housing and financial sectors, aided and abetted  by certain members of Congress. Detailed in the books, American Housing and Financial Frauds, and Congress and Other Cesspools.
   

• Serial lying by U.S. politicians to obtain support for invasions and wars that gullible, naïve, unread  people supported. Too ignorant to show outrage over the resulting deaths of millions of people in the invaded countries, or the over 100,000 dead U.S. military people from the invasion of Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Grenada, Panama, and Iraq.
   

• And much more, as detailed and documented in the various books.

Having said that, what are the chances of finding courageous the dedicated people that will do what is necessary

• In airline disaster after disaster, after this writer made public, via over 3,000 radio and TV appearances since 1978, the documented information on the corruption, even next-of-kin were too lazy to show any concern!
   

• The pathetic lack of reading of books on subjects of serious interest. It has been reported that over 50 percent of the American public never read a book, and of the remaining 50 percent, most only read one book a year. And that is on such trivia as Harry Potter!
   

• Massive amount of support for presidential candidates, but no interest whatsoever in their past history, some of which is quite sordid.
   

• No interest whatsoever in the corrupt prosecution of people exposing corruption in government. One of the several books addressing this matter is FBI, CIA, the Mob, and Treachery. It reveals what Department of Justice officials did to silence an FBI agent, former Lt. Col. in the Army, who sought to report corruption of his boss (later charged with four murders by a Brooklyn prosecutor), and the corrupt funding and arms shipments to Iraq during the Reagan-Bush administration (until just prior to the Gulf War), Details are in the books, Additional details enlarging on this area of corruption can be found in the book, Crimes of the FBI-DOJ, and the Mafia.
   

• More will be added as time permits.

American Public's Ostrich Culture and
History of Repeated Tragedies

The American public has a history of living like an ostrich, with their heads stuck in trivia of all kinds while they serve as prey and a feeding trough for the arrogant and corrupt in and out of government. Among the examples and the tragic consequences of this ostrich culture are the following, and the many other detailed and documented examples in the books written by and with the input of many insiders:

• Decades of preventable airline disasters, including the hijackings of four airliners on September 11, 2001. (Detailed in such books as Unfriendly Skies: 20th & 21st Centuries; Blowback, 9/11, and Cover-Ups
   

• Decades of innocent people being falsely charged and sentenced to prison, sometimes for life, destroying entire families. (Detailed in such books as Drugging America, Defrauding America, etc.)
   

• Decades of seizing assets from innocent people, or people found innocent. (Detailed in Drugging America.)
   

• Decades of looting of assets in the bankruptcy courts of people seeking temporary Chapter 11 relief. (Detailed in Drugging America and Defrauding America.)
   

• Decades of a sham and corrupt war on drugs, while protecting government personnel, including those with the CIA, dealing in drug smuggling, while prosecuting the innocent. (Detailed in Drugging America and Defrauding America.)
   

• Decades of blatant lying to the American people to support invasions of such countries as Iraq, Grenada, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and Korea. (Detailed in Defrauding America.)
   

• Financial frauds of various types, the most recent being the housing, financial and credit collapse, the end of which is nowhere near in sight. (Detailed in the book, America's Housing and Credit Frauds.)
   

• Corruption, including murder of U.S. citizens in collusion with criminal elements, by agents of the FBI and other divisions of the Department of Justice. Also, the mole in an al Qaeda group that warned of the downing of TWA Flight 800; the bombings of U.S. Consuls in Africa, and the hijacking of four airliners on 9/11.Heavily supported by former FBI Special Agent and a major Mafia soldier, the son of the "killing machine."   (Detailed in Crimes of the FBI-DOJ, and the Mafia.)
   

• History of corruption by federal judges and the legal fraternity. (Detailed in Lawyers and Judges: American Trojan Horses.)
   

• Corrupt prosecution of dedicated government agents to silence exposure of high-level corruption. (One such book, FBI, CIA, the Mob, and Treachery, details the prosecution of a highly decorated Vietnam helicopter pilot and subsequent FBI agent, who was falsely charged and sentenced to a long prison term, when he sought to report the covert arming and funding of Iraq during the 1980s, and sought to expose his boss, involved with a Colombo Mafia capo in murders. That agent will probably die in prison.)
   

• History of corruption involving members of Congress. (Detailed in Congress and Other Cesspools.)
   

• More examples in the list of books.

All of the above tragedies, and deaths, have been made possible by the pathetic apathy of the average American, who can spend hundreds of hours a year infatuated with "children's" ball games while too lazy to spend a little time reading what very foolish patriots are trying to reveal to them. Is it any wonder that so many people support politicians whose rhetoric is the very opposite of what the facts establish.  Among the worst are the pious religious fanatics who can't be bother with reading books, relying upon their "God" to take care of them!!!

How a Single Statements by a Person Reveals Their Intelligence, and How Such Statements Were Ignored by Many Gullible Americans

• President George W. Bush, shortly after the 9/11 attacks, making the stupid statement that "the terrorists hate the United States because we are so good."
   
• Vice president running mate with presidential candidate John McCain, based her competency on understanding international affairs on the basis that she can see Russia from her home in Alaska.

There are numerous other examples, but just one stupid statement like that is sufficient to show the incompetence of the person.

And then, there is the intelligence level of those who believe the line!

What Should People With Minimum of
Moderate Factual Knowledge Think of
Someone With the Following Background?

•  Supported the U.S. invasion of Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia, that was based on established lies, that resulted in over 1,000,000 killed, plus 38,000 U.S. military personnel killed, and over 100,000 maimed or severely wounded.
  
• Supported the U.S. invasion of Iraq, that was based upon long proven lies, that has reportedly killed several hundred thousand Iraqis, 4,000 American military personnel, and over 12,000 maimed or severely injured.
  
• Blocked congressional investigations into the savings and loan frauds that cost the American taxpayers several billion dollars, and who, after receiving bribes (political contributions is you must!) from Charles Keating and was a member of the infamous Keating Five.
  
• Repeatedly blocked changes to the corrupt practices that brought down upon the United States the worst housing, financial, and credit debacle in the nation's history, and vigorously supported deregulation.
  
• Who supported almost every policy by the infamous President George W. Bush.
  
• Who has as his financial advisor Senator Gramm, whose record on blocking corrective actions is well established.
  
• Who is on record as stating he doesn't know much about economics, but then during debates gave the bland assurance that the public should trust him to lead them out of the present housing, financial and credit debacle.
  
• Who selected as his vice president, who could be expected to be president, who has made such stupid statements as being competent in international affairs because she can see Russia from her home in Alaska. And this was only one of many such stupid statements. This done while the nation is entering areas of great gravity that requires the utmost in judgment and meaningful background.
  
• Who selected as his vice president, someone who misused her office as governor to fire competent people and replaced them with incompetent school chums; who fired competent people who refused to carry out a vendetta she had.
  
• Who abandoned his former wife, Carol, while suffering from cancer, to marry a woman with lots of money.

Incredibly, the people who support that person have the right to vote. God help the country, if God does exist!
