AMERICA'S POLITICAL PRISONERS
FEDERAL AGENTS AND OPERATIVES SENT TO PRISON TO PREVENT
EXPOSING CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES BY HIGH-LEVEL GOVERNMENT
PERSONNEL AND JUDGES
Although virtually unknown to the average uninformed American citizen,
the United States does have its political prisoners. But instead of
imprisoning these government agents and citizens for their political
belief, they have become prisoners so as to silence their exposing of
criminal activities by people holding key government positions.
This would include false charges and prison sentences to silence federal
agents, such as FBI, DEA, INS, and others, from reporting their
knowledge of drug trafficking by the CIA, DEA, and military, or any of
the other scandals described in the author's two books, the 1998 third
edition of Defrauding America and the third edition of Unfriendly Skies.
These falsely accused people have suffered great harm, as have their
families. But also suffering from this standard practice, involving
employees of the various divisions of the U.S. Department of Justice and
cooperating federal judges and Supreme Court justices, are the American
people. Because of these felony retaliation charges and offenses, the
American people are kept uninformed of the criminal and subversive acts
perpetrated against them, causing them to continue suffering the great
harm that accompanies the various criminal activities detailed and
documented in the author's two books.
Many of these victims are described in the author's books, and a
sampling of these victims will be placed on this and related web sites
from time to time. A few of them are listed here at this time, and
include, for instance:
Richard Taus. For ten years Taus was a special agent for the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, working out of the New York City office. He
held a commission in the U.S. Army reserve, and prior to that, he was a
helicopter pilot and highly decorated officer in Vietnam. Many people
had seen him on television in the mid-1970s as the concerned American
who adopted a Vietnamese orphan. While investigating drug trafficking
activities in the Pizza Connection drug cases with former U.S. Attorney
Louis Freeh, he discovered and reported CIA involvement with organized
crime in drug trafficking. Taus's bosses at the FBI, and Louis Freeh,
covered up for these activities, and when Taus persisted in reporting
the serious CIA involvement with criminal elements in drug trafficking,
the standard procedure of filing false charges against him was put into
place. Federal and then cooperating state officials in New York filed
false charges against Taus and he was sentenced to 80 years in prison.
His plight is among the many that the author's books, and his web sites,
seek to address.
Rumaldo Salis. Salis was a 15-year-veteran of the Immigration and
Naturalization Service (INS), was falsely charged and sent to prison to
silence his reporting of the DEA involvement in a major drug smuggling
operation along the Texas-Mexican border where a Texas-based DEA
officer, allegedly in charge of the smuggling operation, killed a
Mexican laborer who had found the DEA officer's wallet and
identification. As standard practice, Justice Department and other
federal law enforcement personnel, and members of Congress, covered up
for these crimes, causing them to become criminally implicated.
Ronald Rewald. Rewald was the head of a large and secret CIA operation
based in Honolulu in the 1980s. This is the operation that took over
from the infamous CIA operation known as Nugan Hand Bank, which was
staffed with many CIA officials and had offices throughout the world,
and primarily the Far East. This operation included drug money
laundering, helping to hide Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos' assets, setting
up and funding secret bank accounts for some very well known U.S.
political figures. When the cover was blown on the operation by a
Honolulu television reporter, the CIA and Justice Department filed sham
charges against the very loyal figure head, Ronald Rewald. Many things
were done to make this coverup succeed, including using the federal
judge to block Rewald from having CIA personnel appear as witnesses and
baring Rewald from introducing hundreds of documents showing he was a
CIA agent. Rewald was then sentenced to 81 years for allegedly making
off with large sums of money. This is the money that the CIA moved after
its cover was blown. For more information about the Rewald operation,
read the 1998 third edition of Defrauding America and also Disavow.
Michael Riconosciuto. Riconosciuto was a CIA operative working on
various deep-cover operations, including those occurring at the Cabazon
Indian Reservation in California. He discovered secret and felonious
acts by officials in the Reagan Administration, including the Inslaw
matter (described in Defrauding America). When he was ordered to give
testimony about the Inslaw matter to a closed-door Congressional group,
he was threatened with retaliation by a Justice Department official.
After giving the testimony, the threats were carried out, and
Riconosciuto was falsely charged with drug offenses and is now in
federal prison on a long prison sentence. Some of those implicated in
the Inslaw matter and false imprisonment of Riconosciuto are now in key
judicial and other government positions.
Stephen Crittenden. Crittenden was the head of a secret CIA airline for
about 16 years. In the 1998 edition of Defrauding America, Crittenden
details and documents how the CIA provided him with planes and money,
had him carry drugs to and from various Far East locations in
CIA-provided C-123s, and then when he was given C-130s, carrying drugs
to the United States. A sworn affidavit given to Rodney Stich by
Crittenden was entered in 1995 into a federal court proceeding in
Phoenix, which details much of this activity. After Crittenden became
concerned about the drug trafficking and shut down the airline, the CIA
and Justice Department went after him, using the standard false charge
routine, and sentencing him to federal prison.
Gunther Russbacher. Russbacher had a very long and colorful history with
the CIA and Office of Naval Intelligence, much of it detailed in the
1998 Defrauding America. He was involved in the 1960s and 1970s in
various covert activities in Europe and Vietnam, he helped set up the
Medellin and Cali Cartels for the CIA, and were involved in many diverse
operations in the covert agencies where compartmentalization is more
normal.
Oswald LeWinter. LeWinter. is another long-time OSS and CIA operative
whose covert activities, like Gunther Russbacher, crossed over into many
highly sensitive areas. Because of his knowledge of highly sensitive
covert activities that at best could be called, criminal, it became
necessary to discredit him by falsely charging him with federal offenses
and sending him to prison.
Lester Coleman. Coleman was a part-time agent for the Defense
Intelligence Agency (DIA), working in the Middle East under cover of the
Christian Broadcast Network, in Beirut and Nicosia. He speaks many
languages, including Arabic, and was especially useful in that area.
During this activity, while working out of the DEA office in Nicosia.,
he discovered a drug pipeline orchestrated by the CIA and DEA, using Pan
American aircraft out of Frankfurt. This drug pipeline was also composed
of Lebanese and Syrian drug traffickers. It was this drug operation that
made possible the placement of the bomb on board Pan Am Flight 103.
After Coleman gave a sworn affidavit into the Pan American litigation,
which showed that the CIA and DEA drug operation made possible the
placement of the bomb on Pan Am Flight 103, the Justice Department gang
started their usual sham charges, falsely charging Coleman with a
passport violation.
A partial list of these victims is present here, many of them known for
years to Rodney Stich. More names and more data on these people will be
added as time permits. Almost all of them are described in the 1998
edition of Defrauding America.
