To Henry Hyde: Because of the gravity of the documented corruption that I brought to your attention in a January 29, 2001 letter, and the ramifications of your cover-up, this letter, sent by certified mail, makes a record showing that you knew of these serious charges and that you did not respond. My prior letter to you identified the areas of criminal activities that I, a former federal investigator and my group of other former federal agents had discovered which adversely affect the internal security of the United States and the lives of many people. That prior letter offered to provide you evidence of the following corrupt activities implicating people acting under cover of government positions: Decades Of Drug Smuggling Into the United States Decades of drug smuggling into the United States by people acting under cover of government positions and covert government operations. Some of my evidence is provided by the following: o Former head of a secret CIA airline, who provided me over the several years with detailed letters, verbal communications, affidavits, and documentation, describing the drugs that he was ordered to transport for the CIA. o Former head of a secret CIA financial operation, who provided me over the years with information and documentation about the drug offenses that were done by CIA assets in the covert operation in which he was the titular head. o Former FBI agent, highly decorated helicopter pilot during the Vietnam War, who discovered CIA drug trafficking to American servicemen during the Vietnam War and who later discovered and reported CIA drug smuggling with the American Mafia while he was head of an FBI team. o My discovery as an airline captain in overseas flying, commencing nearly 40 years ago, and what I subsequently learned from several dozen former federal agents, drug traffickers, and in hidden congressional reports. I have placed much of this evidence in books that I have written: the third editions of Defrauding America and Unfriendly Skies and the first editions of Drugging America and Disavow. Also, on the web sites www.defraudingamerica.com, www.druggingamerica.com, and www.unfriendlyskies.com. o Other reliable sources, including testimony given to members of Congress by insiders. o Role played by the CIA-DEA drug smuggling operation in the bombing of Pan American 1
flight 103 over Lockerbie. Two of my sources, including a former agent for the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), and government documents that I obtained, described the role of CIA-DEA agents, with Syrian and Lebanese drug smuggling, using Pan Am aircraft out of Frankfurt. The logistics of this drug smuggling operation made it easy to place an extra suitcase, containing the bomb, on board Pan Am Flight 103. These criminal offenses were compounded by Justice Department prosecutors filing false charges against the two people exposing this matter, which is a common Justice Department tactic to silence insiders exposing corruption in key government offices. CIA Funding Of Secret Bank Accounts For U.S. Officials Funding of secret bank accounts for well-known political figures by CIA operations. This information, and documentation was conveyed to me by the former head of a covert CIA financial operation. One of these officials was recently appointed by President George Bush to a key government position. That same individual has been identified by several of my CIA-related sources as being involved in the CIA drug smuggling during the Vietnam War. Widespread Looting Of Assets In the Bankruptcy Courts Widespread corruption in the bankruptcy courts involving federal judges, judge-appointed trustees (including infamous trustee Charles Duck), Justice Department appointed trustees, lawyers, law firms, and CIA operatives. The corruption includes unlawfully and unconstitutionally seizing the assets of people and companies that exercise the statutory protections of Chapter 11, only to be stripped of their life assets. The victims include thousands of elderly persons corruptly and criminally stripped of their life assets. Evidence of this pattern of corruption is included in my books, the third editions of Defrauding America and Unfriendly Skies, and in the documents I have accumulated during the past 15 years. Series Of Corruption Activities October Surprise and its cover-up, as described to me by two CIA assets who were directly involved in it. This was the scheme involving the CIA and political figures from both political parties who blocked the release of the 52 American hostages held captive in Teheran, to obtain a political advantage in the 1981 presidential election between President Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan. CIA looting of the savings and loans, the HUD program, and other financial frauds, as conveyed to me by several CIA assets who were part of the offenses, under orders of their CIA superiors. Other corrupt CIA operations, as told to me by CIA insiders, and supported by documents, which included drug money laundering, funding of secret bank accounts for politicians in prior and current administrations, assisting Ferdinand and Imelda Marcus to hide funds that were being sought by the FBI. Pattern Of Documented Corrupt and Criminal Acts By Federal Judges Evidence of twenty years of documented judicial corruption was offered to you and other members of Congress. Details of some of these corrupt activities are in my books and the web site at www.defraudingamerica.com. These include, for instance: Federal judges repeatedly blocking the reporting of criminal activities that I, a former federal investigator and my group of several dozen other former federal agents tried to report to a federal court under the mandatory federal crime reporting statute, Title 18 U.S.C. 4 and Title 28 U.S.C. 1361. This documented pattern of judicial obstruction of justice constituted multiple criminal acts under Title 18 U.S.C. 2, 3, and 4. Federal judges and Justice Department personnel charging me with criminal contempt of court when I attempted to report these criminal activities that I and my group of other former federal agents had discovered. Inflicting harm upon a former federal agent and witness for attempting to report criminal activities are felonies under Title 18 U.S.C. 2, 3, 4, 35, 241; 111, 153, 241, 242, 245 (b)(1)(b); 246, 371, 1341, 1343, 1505, 1510, 1512, 1513 (b), 1515(a)(3)(A); 42 U.S.C. 1961-1965, which are worse offenses when perpetrated by federal judges and Justice 2
Department lawyers. Federal judges issued unlawful and unconstitutional orders barring me for the remainder of my life from federal court access. These orders blocked me from reporting the criminal activities under the federal crime reporting statute and blocked me from exercising the numerous federal defenses against the record numbers of state and federal laws that were being judicially violated as part of a bizarre scheme to destroy my ability to report the criminal activities. Organized crime never had it this good! Federal judges violating dozens of state and federal laws and constitutional protections, inflicting grave personal and financial harm upon me, and then depriving me of the federal defenses against intended to protect any citizen against these violations of federally protected rights. Federal judges misusing the federal courts in a conspiracy with a CIA-front law firm that targeted the $10 million in assets that funded my exposure activities, that required violating dozens of state states and rules of court and numerous federal laws and constitutional provisions, following by denial of all federal defenses. Documented Corrupt and Criminal acts Associated With Specific Airline Crashes As a former federal air safety inspector responsible for air safety at the world s largest airline: Documented pattern of corruption within the federal aviation Administration (and at United Airlines) related to a series of fatal airline crashes. Misconduct allowing dozens of SAM missiles to be acquired by terrorist group. Several years ago, I sent a three page warning letter to every member of the House and Senate intelligence committees warning of missile attacks upon commercial aircraft, based upon documentation and other evidence obtained from one of my many CIA sources. The letters urged that the recipients immediately contact me and my CIA source to prevent as many as 100 SAM missiles being transferred to terrorists. Not a single recipient in Congress responded, which permitted the missiles to be received by terrorists. It is possible that one of these missiles was used to bring down TWA Flight 800, and to bring down other commercial aircraft in the future. Pattern Of Misconduct By Justice Department Officials and Lawyers Pattern of documented misconduct by Justice Department personnel, which includes blocking exposure of major criminal activities implicating key people in government and filing false charges against government agents who sought to expose these corrupt acts, to silence or discredit them. Details in each of my prior books. Pattern Of Documented Corruption Related To A Series Of Fatal Airline Disasters Pattern of air safety and criminal acts directly related to a series of fatal airline crashes, many of them occurring in my direct area of federal air safety responsibilities while I was responsible for air safety at the most senior program at United Airlines. Many people died as a result of this misconduct and the cover-ups by members of Congress. This culture is still deeply embedded within the FAA and had played an unpublicized role in several recent airline disasters. Some details of this documented corruption and related deaths can be found in the third edition of Unfriendly Skies and in the web site, www.unfriendlyskies.com. Felony Offenses Perpetrated by Members Of Congress I have documented cover-ups and obstruction of justice by members of Congress for the past 40 years, commencing while I was a federal air safety inspector. This congressional cover-up made possible the continuation of the criminal and even subversive conduct that is described in my books. Many men and women, including some of your constituents, have been sentenced to federal prison for failure to report relatively minor federal offenses whose gravity does not even merit a place on the scale measuring the offenses and culture involving members of Congress. Among the possible reasons for congressional cover-ups 3
Felony implications through prior and current cover-ups of criminal activities. Drug money flowing to members of Congress and political parties. Members of Congress with CIA ties, including covert compensation to block exposure of these matters. Absence of integrity, courage and sense of duty. Fear of prosecution by Justice Department personnel for actual or fabricated offenses. Tragedies Made Possible By Cover-Ups The tragedies caused by the corruption that I and other former federal agents brought to the attention of members of Congress could have been halted, and in some cases prevented, if members of Congress had met their responsibilities as members of Congress and under the federal criminal statutes (including Title 18 U.S.C. 2, 3, and 4). The tragedies resulting from congressional cover-ups included, for instance: Fraud-related airline crashes. Many of the people killed as a result of known air safety and criminal violations that I and other federal inspectors discovered and reported could have been prevented if members of Congress had not continued the continual cover-up of such matters. This relationship is described it in the third edition of Unfriendly Skies. This same congressional cover-up occurred after I sent a three-page letter warning to members of Congress, warning of missile attacks upon commercial aircraft that were sent several months prior to the downing of TWA Flight 800. (That letter is on the Internet sites listed in this letter. The basis for the warning letters was information and documentation provided to me by a former head of a secret CIA operation that had world-wide attention in the mid- 1980s.) Killings, property seizure, void of constitutional protections, imprisonment of tens of thousands of men and women, and much more, much of it the result of four decades of drug smuggling by people acting under cover of government agencies and operations, and even including people in the high government offices. Countless personal and financial tragedies arising from corrupt federal judges, described in my books, includes the widespread corrupt seizing of assets, the documented obstruction of justice, judicially perpetrated civil and constitutional violations, judicial lying, and much more, spreading their cancerous corruption throughout government and society. The Outrageous Contradiction Between Draconian Congressional Legislation And Congressional Corruption While engaging in repeated obstruction of justice offenses, members of congress have repeatedly passed legislation: Making felonies out of minor matters, such as filling in a low spot on private land. Making major felonies out of relatively minor drug offenses that have put tens of thousands of men and women in prison, sometimes for life. Such as the conspiracy statutes that have resulted in people totally uninvolved in drug or other offenses to be imprisoned for years, and even life. Such as the forfeiture statutes that have resulted in taking of properties from totally innocent people, or people judged innocent, or properties whose value far exceeds the nature of the offense, and which encouraged routine perjury by government agents and government informants. Your Responsibilities Cannot Be Met By Turning This Matter Over To the Justice Department In the event you seek to avoid personal responsibility for cover-ups by turning this letter over to the Justice Department, I bring this information to your attention: For over 20 years, the personnel at the U.S. Department of Justice have been covering up for each of the many corrupt and criminal activities that I brought to your attention and which I 4
write about in my books. Obviously the same Justice Department personnel are not about to expose the crimes in which they became implicated through cover-ups. Justice Department personnel have retaliated against me, a former federal agent, for attempting to report these criminal activities to a federal court as required by the federal crime reporting statute. They charged me with criminal contempt of court for accessing the federal courts to report the criminal. Justice Department personnel have filed false charges against numerous federal agents, including FBI agents, who sought to report criminal activities implicating key government personnel, including CIA drug smuggling. Justice Department personnel who became implicated with federal judges and a CIA-front law firm misusing the courts and a pattern of civil rights violations to silence government whistleblowers, including me. You and Other Members Of Congress Have A Vested Interest In Protecting these Criminal Activities You and other members of Congress have a vested interest in preventing the public from learning about these matters. Fortunately for you and other congressional members, others have a similar cover-up interest, including Justice Department officials, and most of the media. Further protection against exposing these matters is the public s indifferent, laziness, denial. As long as they remain in their stage of child-like innocence or denial, you and other members of Congress are safe.
