This book is a very well documented and thorough analysis of the corruption within the U.S. system of government.
Stich details his involvement with governmental misuse of power when he tries to bring to light the serious lack of safety precautions in the airline industry and how mandatory training programs were being inadequately done, and often not done at all. He experienced stonewalling, as well as retaliation, in the FAA's management when he would try to fulfill his duties as a federal air-safety inspector/investigator and was subverted from fulfilling his responsiblities all the way through to the federal courts by the Department of Justice. Despite these problems obviously leading to airplane crashes across the country, the FAA hierarchy refused to legally prosecute any of the airlines or personnel involved and subsequently allowed the crashes to continue due to their complacency.
As a result of Stich's continuous whistleblowing, retaliation ensued when his assets were seized (to take away the funding of Stich's activist activities) through misuse of chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, and his refusal to "surrender" eventually led to him being sentenced to prison on trumped up charges. (This happens. My father had a similar experience where his assets were unlawfully seized by somone with millions of dollars behind him and a judge in his pocket.)
In a federal corrections facility he meets Gunther Russbacher, a CIA asset with a very high covert position in the agency, who relates to him, through many subsequent contacts (with Stich out of prison), the large amount of conspiracies against the American public being perpetrated by high-level political leaders and governmental agencies.

Rodney Stich, with many years of roots in intelligence and investigative services, provides a listening ear to those who have served in the most clandestine of operations world-wide. His writing is clear, his sources verified and impeccable. Rodney early on revealed October Surprise and in his role as confidant to many to open the public to the misdirected efforts of intelligence, he has tracked the CIA/DRUGS operations to their present theaters. Nothing missing. Included is organized crime, money laundering, and a great deal of intrigue. The writings had particular meaning for me -- Rodney wrote of Operation Mount Rushmore which was partially funded by a resident of my own county, according to his sources. Operation Mount Rushmore was a plan involving CIA personnel to eliminate Bill Clinton when he ran for the Presidency in July, 1992 -- a plan that had to be scrubbed due to internal leaks. Rodney found confirmation of the plan from independent sources. Upon reading that funding for Operation Mount Rushmore was coming from a Napa County source, I noted that the referenced Gene Trefethen who owned a winery in Napa, had been Henry J. Kaiser's "right-hand-man" for years, the builder of the war industrial behemoth known as Kaiser Industries ... a government funded giant in ship-building which cranked out liberty ships to lend-lease to England, with more to support the U.S. effort during World War II. Following the wars, Kaiser turned its operations to the provision of health care, to become the largest private provider of health care in California. It's lucrative, and Clinton's plan for health care reform threatened to take Kaiser down.Read more ›

Stich has done an excellent job at steering clear of wild conspiracy theories and sticking to the facts. This is a devastating account of government malfeasance at emanating from the highest levels of the Government; Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches. This book is not for the faint hearted. Anyone who reads this will quickly find his blood boiling and ask the obvious question, where is the media in all this? A MUST read.

This series of revelations of official criminality is the most important American book ever written. It is a must-read for anyone who cares about our nation. By presenting abundant supporting evidence the author clarifies what is otherwise a murk of national rumors and scandals. His writing is so coherent as to almost render his evidence superfluous. Ultimately, this book raises the question: Can America save itself? Considering that this book provides detailed self-incriminations by many key gov't officials - especially in the Dept. of Justice and many of its branches; the IRS and essentially the entire Congress - our chances of avoiding national destruction seem remote. If America is to survive; it must begin by reading this book.
To America's Pantheon of Deathless Heroes: Nathan Hale, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Sgt. York, Audie Murphy, those named on the Viet Nam Memorial, Ex-FBI Agent Fredric Whitehurst; now must be added the name of Author Rodney Stich. His name is in our hearts now. If and when American is restored to justice his likeness and courageous deeds will become main components of our nation's lore.
