1 1 1 1 Rodney Stich POB Alamo, CA 0 Phone: --0 Fax: --1 NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD This is a petition for modification of the Board s finding into the contributing and enabling causes in the downing of TWA Flight 00, on July,. It is being submitted under the authority of Title Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).1. It is also submitted under the mandatory responsibilities of the federal crime reporting statute, Title U.S.C., 1 as it relates to federal criminal offenses associated with that matter. This issue makes mandatory an honest investigation into the serious matters stated here. My competency for bringing this petition and Title U.S.C. m matters to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is based upon information I acquired as a federal airline safety inspector and 0 years of subsequent discoveries, that more thoroughly reveals the multiple factors that led to the demise of TWA Flight 00. Criminal Issues in Downing of TWA Flight 00 Based upon considerable information, and FBI documents, made available to me over a period of several years by several of my confidants, the following information is presented. A former Mafiosi in a New York City Mafia group became a mole in the al Qaeda cell headed by Ramzi Yousef, the al Qaeda member who was the mastermind behind the bombing of the World trade Center, and the planner of simultaneous bombings of a dozen U.S. airliners departing Far East locations. In this role, this mole received over an extended Petition to NTSB relating to Downing TWA Flight 00-1

2 1 1 1 period of time directly from al Qaeda operative Ramzi Yousef information on planned al Qaeda attacks against major U.S. targets. The advance information on the planned al Qaeda attacks included the following: o Downing of a U.S. airliner departing a local New York City airport. The basis for this planned attack was al Qaeda s belief that such downing would bring about a mistrial in Yousef s ongoing criminal trial in New York City federal courts. (The downing of TWA Flight 00 occurred about two weeks after this information was given to the mole and passed along to FBI agents in the New York City offices.) o Bombings of U.S. embassies in Africa. (The planned and forewarned bombings of U.S. embassies did occur; in Kenya and Tanzania.) o Hijacking of U.S. airliners and flying them into buildings. (These planned and forewarned al Qaeda attacks occurred on September, 01.) This ultra-valuable information on the planned al Qaeda attacks was provided to FBI agents in the New York City offices, by the mole in the al Qaeda cell and his New York City attorney, as the information was received. The importance and credibility of this information was recognized by the FBI agents. They enlarged upon the information obtained by the mole. FBI agents coordinated with the mole and his attorney to form a fictitious Mafia corporation in New York City, staffed by FBI agents, through which al Qaeda operative Yousef could make local calls to that fictitious Mafia Corporation, thinking that the Mafia was also interested in harming the United States. Yousef then placed local calls to the Mafia Corporation, where the telephone calls were then forwarded to al Qaeda operatives in the United States and overseas, including to Iran. This arrangement lasted for months, receiving during which time still more information existed about al Qaeda plans. Petition to NTSB relating to Downing TWA Flight 00 -

3 1 1 1 If that information on the planned al Qaeda attacks had been acted upon, and made known to other government entities, actions could have been taken to prevent the success of the forewarned terrorist attacks. The huge loss of life would have been prevented, and the excuse used by U.S. politicians to invade Afghanistan and Iraq would not have existed. Instead of acting on this critical information and notifying other government entities so that actions could be taken to prevent the success of those attacks, this critical information on the planned terrorist attacks was ordered deep-sixed by key people in the U.S. Department of Justice. Even after the first attack occurred the downing of TWA Flight 00 which provided support for the accuracy of the information, the deep-sixing of the information on the planned embassy bombings and airline hijackings continued. At that stage, admitting the deep-sixing of the prior information on the planned downing of a U.S. airliner departing a local airport, and now acting on the other planned attacks, would have associated the prior deaths with the DOJ personnel that deep-sixed the critical information. Possible Source of that Missile The source of that missile is another issue, for which no firm information is available. However, the following documented information must be considered as a possible missile source. I obtained this information from one of my many confidants; a confidant who was the titular head of a covert CIA operation based in Honolulu. This source was involved in the offer by Afghanistan Warlord Rashid Dostum, to give almost a hundred surface-to-air missiles to the United States in exchange for the release of a former Afghan colleague in a U.S. prison on drug-related charges. The negotiations occurred in Long Beach, California, where CIA-FBI personnel rejected the missiles. Petition to NTSB relating to Downing TWA Flight 00 -

4 1 1 1 By rejecting the missiles, they would be made available to terrorist groups. Upon learning of this rejection from my former CIA source, I sent letters to several members of Congress, providing details, and warning them of the dangers from the FBI-CIA rejection of the missiles: the missiles being acquired by terrorist groups. Sampling of such letters can be found at at History of Aviation Disasters: 0 to /, and at This matter was discussed in my book, Explosive Secrets of Covert CIA Companies. Deep-Sixing Consequences Now Required FBI-DOJ Cover-ups The complicity of key Department of Justice personnel in deep-sixing advance information of the planned al Qaeda attacks now required cover-up tactics. This involved cover-up of information that was mandatory in investigations; the dismissal of material evidence; refusal to recognize professional and reliable witnesses; issuing ludicrous statements of actual events; threats and retaliation against whistleblowers, which included attacks against me. (This practice also occurred also after the hijackings of four airliners on September, 01. The placement of Department of Justice officials on the / Commission insured that a cover-up would occur and protect the U.S. enablers of these great and easily preventable.) Details in History of Aviation Disasters: 0 to /, and at FBI-CIA Personnel Dismissing Valuable Witness One example of the blatant dismissal of the primary witness to the actual downing of TWA Flight 00 included highly-experienced military helicopter pilot flying that night in the vicinity of TWA Flight 00. This is a summary of what he observed and wrote to me in several detailed communications: Petition to NTSB relating to Downing TWA Flight 00 -

5 1 1 1 o He observed a missile streaking toward TWA Flight 00. o The initial explosion based on his extensive experience in Vietnam as a military pilot was a ordnance-type explosion distinct from a fuel explosion. That ordnance explosion was then followed by fuel-type explosions. o As the cockpit of TWA Flight 00 ripped from the aircraft, the aircraft, as expected, plunged vertically into the ocean. This contradicted the physically-improbable statements by FBI-CIA personnel that stated the aircraft, missing its major front section, climbed several thousand feet. That fantasy-fabrication was intended to explain the narrow missile trail reported as witnesses to be the Hugh flaming climbing after exploding in air. o Being close to the exploding TWA aircraft, he saw where many occupants were flung upward, prior to descending into the ocean. Further, Boeing Aircraft Corporation personnel had repeatedly stated that the unsupported statements by unqualified government personnel blaming a spark in the center section fuel tank as the cause of the explosion was incorrect. The ten (and more) years of FAA allowing aircraft to fly without any changes to the fuel tanks provide shows the FAA s lack of support for that spark theory. That totally unsupported spark excuse was used to discredit the massive material evidence of a missile attack. The obvious FBI-CIA cover-ups were further supported by the recent statements of former members of the NTSB who recently stated after their retirement from government that they were never allowed to get at the truth, that evidence was suppressed, and that they are confident that a missile brought down TWA Flight 00. The evidence presented here goes beyond what they knew or could have discovered. Petition to NTSB relating to Downing TWA Flight 00 -

6 1 1 1 Short Description of Discovery of Corruption, Aviation Crashes, and Cover-Ups I have documented this relationship since the time I was an air carrier operations inspector in the Federal Aviation Administration during the days of an endless series of airline disasters. The continual series of cover-ups by FBI and other personnel in the U.S. Department of Justice caused me to communicate with FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, accusing him of criminal obstruction of justice, and involved communications with members of Congress concerning his cover-up of major corrupt activities resulting in several recent airline disasters. One particular member of Congress, Representative George Miller, became involved in this matter. (These events described in History of Aviation Disasters: 0 to /.) Departments of Justice employees covered up for the corruption related to a series of aviation disasters from the 0s, when I was discovering and reporting continuing aviation safety and criminal violations that were continuing to result in major aviation disasters. Preceding that point, I discovered that Department of Justice personnel covered up for the aviation safety and criminal violations at United Airlines, which played a major enabling role in the world s greatest aviation disaster at that time: the United Airlines DC- that plunged into the Brooklyn section of New York City on December 0. That disaster, and others, caused the federal government to give me the assignment to halt the deadly corruption at the airline. DOJ personnel covered up for the actual perpetrators in the bombing of Pan Am Flight that exploded over Lockerbie, and then planted false evidence in prosecuting two innocent Libyans and blamed Libya for the bombing.

7 1 1 1 With the help of dozens of my many professional confidants including former agents in the FBI, CIA, DEA, Customs, FAA, former drug smugglers working for CIA and DEA personnel, former Mafia figures, I obtained additional information on many of America s biggest scandals. Every attempt that I made to report and halt these harm-resulting activities were blocked by employees in the U.S. Department of Justice. In, and continuing until, Department of Justice personnel sought to halt my efforts to expose these areas of criminal activities crimes against the United States. Near the age of 0, Department of Justice prosecutors corruptly charged me, a former federal agent, with criminal contempt of court for filing federal actions under the federal crime reporting statute, Title U.S.C.. I had sought to report and halt the areas of corrupt and criminal activities that had already resulted in major national tragedies and would continue to do so. These attacks upon me, consisting of major violations of criminal and civil statutes, constituted crimes against the United States and made possible even worse national tragedies that were to occur. While in prison to silence me, personnel in the U.S. Department of Justice corruptly seized the $ million in assets that funded my exposure activities. Their power enabled them to obtain assistance in other areas (which is a national scandal by itself). Most of my dozen-plus not-for-profit books contain information on various forms of corrupt acts involving personnel in the various divisions of the U.S. Department of Justice. Main ones include, for instance, Defrauding America; America s Corrupt War on Drugs; History of Aviation Disasters: 0 to /; Terrorism and Deadliest Enabling Scandals of st Centuruy; and others.

8 1 1 1 History of Cover-Ups by NTSB Political Board Members My experience with cover-up of politically-sensitive contributing causes to a series of fatal airline crashes started after the federal government gave me the assignment to correct the pattern of major aviation safety violations at United Airlines that enabled the direct causes of the crashes to occur. The higher political management side of the FAA protected the aviation safety and criminal violations at United Airlines, causing me to take unprecedented actions to halt the continuing series of crashes and deaths. These great tragedies motivated me to exercise federal law in such a manner that I conducted a four-month-long administrative proceeding, acting similar to an independent investigator. The transcript of proceedings required about,000 pages of testimony and exhibits. Such an event, where a government agent sought to expose corruption with specific crashes and deaths, never happened before. That is also when I had direct experience with cover-ups by the political members of the National Transportation Safety Board. The Board members admitted to me that they already knew of the problems, and then they covered up what I brought to their attention. The most classic example of the consequences of prior NTSB cover-ups, was the deadly crash of a United Airlines Boeing at Salt Lake City Airport during the time I was acting similar to an independent prosecutor and the blatant falsification of the official accident report. That cover-up enabled the aviation safety matters to continue, and enabled even worst aviation disasters to occur. Details in the History of Aviation Disasters book and also at the Internet site: Cover-ups by prior members of the political NTSB Board caused me to file a federal lawsuit against the NTSB. That lawsuit focused on the NTSB cover-up in the crash of a PSA airliner Petition to NTSB relating to Downing TWA Flight 00 -

9 1 1 1 into San Diego. That crash became the worst death toll in aviation history, taking the record from scandal-related United Airlines crash into New York City. Details of that lawsuit is at the Internet site, After filing that lawsuit, Assistant U.S. attorney at San Francisco called me, stating he was seeking Washington approval. Again, top officials stepped in to block those actions. Several professional NTSB aviation accident investigators stated to me over the years that the political NTSB Board members (usually not aviation experienced) often changed the inspectors reports. The repeated cover-ups of major aviation safety problems or violations enabled a continuing series of aviation disasters to occur. This NTSB history of cover-up and altering official accident reports combined with the misuse of federal power by personnel in the U.S. Department of Justice, makes improbable any change from the inbred cover-up culture. My Far-Reaching Aviation Safety and Investigative Background My prior experience in the aviation field makes me especially qualified to have my information made a part of the record. My considerable experience is further augmented by my considerable experience is further augmented by the valuable information that I received on the terrorist enabling aspect of aviation (and other) American tragedies. For instance: o Naval Aviator, during which time I instructed in the PBY Catalina patrol planes and I was also a Navy Patrol Plane Commander in Liberators and Privateers. Possibly the youngest PPC in World War II. o International airline pilot and captain for many years, rated as captain in the DC-, DC-, Martin, Convair 0, Curtis C-, Lockheed Constellation, and Boeing Petition to NTSB relating to Downing TWA Flight 00 -

10 Also rated in the Convair 0-0 and DC-, as an air carrier operations inspector in the Federal Aviation Administration. o As an FAA airline safety inspector, during the period when airline crashes were a routine occurrence, I was considered sufficiently qualified and motivated to be given the one-person assignment by mid-level FAA management to correct the massive safety and criminal violations at the world s largest airline, which was experiencing repeated airline disasters. I documented these conditions, and further documented them in an administrative proceedings covering several months when I forced an administrative proceeding upon the FAA, when high-level politically oriented FAA management sought to protect the violators. o After leaving the FAA, I was hired by Flying Tigers Airline to establish the flight operating procedures and manual for their newly purchased DC- jets. When that project was completed, and prior to leaving, I received letters of commendations from people at Flying Tigers, Douglas Aircraft, FAA inspectors and others, and over a period of time, letters of commendations from others. o Over 0 years of continuous writing of highly detailed books on aviation safety and intrigue in government, having written over books since. Also appeared as guests and expert on hundreds of radio and TV shows. Numerous initial responses from members of Congress, until the consequences of their cover-ups showed their complicity in a long series of national tragedies.

11 1 1 1 Stich's commendations, including unprecedented personal letter from U.S. Supreme Court Justice Byron White. Excellent book reviews. Excellent reader comments. Stich s credibility. Unusual background for discovering corruption that enabled many of the worst U.S. aviation tragedies. Details of these serious matters in the not-for-profit books and Internet sites: o History of Aviation Disasters: 0 to /. o Terrorism and Deadliest Enabling Scandals of the st Century. o At Consequences if this NTSB Board Repeats Past NTSB Board Conduct The charges here are of such grave consequences for the United States, and the consequences of prior cover-ups of these matters have been so horrific, especially in the recent days of catastrophic terrorist successes made possible by the misconduct, that the present board will become themselves complicit. There can be no excuse based on any alleged failure to meet procedural requirements, to shirk the Board s duty. If the present NTSB board repeats these practices and covers up for the criminal deep-sixing of advance information on the planned downing of a plane departing a New York City Petition to NTSB relating to Downing TWA Flight 00 -

12 airport, then the perpetrators will go free, and the resulting consequences of cover-ups will continue. In this case, the issues and enablers are greater than in the past. An Affidavit of Facts is attached to this petition. This petitioner demands that the National Transportation Safety Board reopens the hearing into the downing of TWA Flight 00 and include the information stated herein, and make part of the record the facts stated in the following not-for-profit books: History of Aviation Disasters: 0 to /; and, Terrorism and Greatest Enabling Scandals of the st Century. 1 Dated this nd day of July, POB Alamo, CA 0 Phone: --0 FAX: --1 Rodney F. Stich 1 Title U.S.C.. Misprision of felony. Whoever, having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony cognizable by a court of the United States, conceals and does not as soon as possible make known the same to some judge or other person in civil or military authority under the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.
