QUIET ROCKLAND LANDS ALL KEY FAA BOBBY STURGELL INTERNET DOMAIN-NAMES
QRNewswire/Rockland County, NY:

In a tripartite deal with a New England-based seller and Herndon, VA Internet domain-name registrar Network Solutions,
www.networksolutions.c...
suburban New York anti-FAA aero-activist group Quiet Rockland has announced its acquisition of the 3 most critical Internet Uniform Resource Locator (URL) domain-names relating to failed FAA Acting Administrator Robert Allan (“Bobby”) Sturgell:
www.bobbysturgell.com
www.bobbysturgell.org
www.bobbysturgell.net

The transaction was handled by Quiet Rockland co-founder John J. Tormey III, Esq., and his law practice, John J. Tormey III, PLLC:
www.tormey.org
The arrangement with Network Solutions accords Quiet Rockland the unilateral option of an up-to-100-year extension of each domain-name registration term. Further specifics of the purchase remain undisclosed.

Said Tormey:

“Quiet Rockland has now struck another blow for justice, fair treatment of air traffic controllers (ATCs), and historical accuracy. In the last year at the helm, Bobby Sturgell ‘piloted’ his Tombstone Agency FAA directly into the ground – abusing his ATC workforce, continually threatening our safety, and putting us Americans all at risk while doing so. We therefore return the courtesy to him and his awful FAA. Quiet Rockland today dedicates these 3 permanent First Amendment-protected electronic-memorial reciprocal-tombstones to Bobby Sturgell’s abysmal, morally-bereft legacy of putting profits over people and failing the American citizenry. Now, election-result irrespective, whether or not Bobby Sturgell follows through on his earlier-stated intention to quit his post by November, each person accessing the Internet worldwide who searches Bobby Sturgell’s name at any time in the next 100 years, will be virtually-certain to take heed of Sturgell’s well-earned agency cyber-posterity heritage of FAAilure. This is Quiet Rockland’s virtual parting gift to Bobby Sturgell.

“Quiet Rockland also intends this action to be a warning to those other aero-head officials, misguided enough to think of threatening our interests in the future. As but one additional example, we expect that FAA NY/NJ/PHL Airspace Redesign Project Manager Steven (Steve) Kelley will now want to carefully review the website at the also-newly-acquired URL
www.stevekelleyfaa.com
This site permanently chronicles Steve Kelley’s own role in the 1985 Fairview, NJ aircrash killing 6 people – an event which Steve Kelley himself worked as an ATC. We look forward to exercising our 100-year option on that URL filing as well.

“More communications will follow. Our rock-solid foundational message is clear. Whether a federal official, or anyone else – if you threaten Quiet Rockland’s interests or those of any ATC, expect a response – and expect that response to follow you throughout your career, your life, and perhaps beyond, in, at minimum, electronically-memoria... posterity. We have the resources. We have the technology. And, we have the will. FAA management will be repopulated with responsible personnel. The NY/NJ/PHL Airspace Redesign will be defeated.

Failed FAA Pilot Bobby Sturgell Racks Up His 3,000th Civilian Kill, And Somehow Keeps Flying

To this day, our federal government in the United States has continued to allow the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), for good reason otherwise known as the “Tombstone Agency”, to be run by a morally-bereft incompetent liar and perjurer by the name of Robert Allan “Bobby” Sturgell. You already know Bobby Sturgell. He self-touts his “Top Gun” status while seemingly unable to cite any bona fide combat experience. He professes his married status while somehow unable to wear a wedding ring while on business trips. He feigns public official status while borne of a DelMarVa shoot-’em-up biker bar until recently owned by Bobby’s FBI Mom who served as J. Edgar Hoover’s secretary. He is the imposter known as FAA “Acting” Administrator.

How apt.

A few months ago, Bobby Sturgell racked up his 3,000th civilian aviation kill. That’s a lot of notches on Top Gun’s wing.

In but one (1) short year in office as bumbling “Acting Administrator” of the FAA, Bobby Sturgell has finished the job, and he has murdered aviation safety. Yet Bobby Sturgell’s homicide-of-decency commenced at least 5 years ago when Bobby Sturgell joined the FAA back in 2003.

The period of time from 2003 forward, to the date within the next few weeks that Bobby Sturgell ejects from his corner office at 800 Independence, shall be forever known as:

“The Bobby Sturgell Tombstone FAA Regime, 2003-2008”.

United States aviation fatality statistics are public record, and are available on the Internet. They are the NTSB’s own damning admission. See below.

According to Quiet Rockland’s count of the NTSB statistics of approximately one (1) week ago, since the year in which Bobby Sturgell joined the FAA, in 2003 – no less than Three Thousand, Three Hundred And Eighty-Three (3,383) human beings have died in aviation accidents and other aviation incidents in the United States. The body-count number has undoubtedly increased since then.

These 3,383 tombstones are on Bobby Sturgell’s head. Naturally, Bobby Sturgell did not run every single one of these planes and corpses into the ground in aviation flame-out, even though Bobby Sturgell’s incompetence well could have. Rather, in this case, the Sturgellian offense is not mere negligence alone. The offense is willful on Bobby Sturgell’s part, and 5 years perpetuated. The fact is that it is Bobby Sturgell himself, Sturgell’s arrant recidivist pandering to aeromercantile interests to the exclusion of human safety, Sturgell’s inhuman abuse of the ATC work-force, and Sturgell’s continual and contemptuous lawless derision for the Culture of Safety that should otherwise govern American aviation, that are the primary causes of these 3,383 dead bodies.

In reply, Bobby Sturgell will squirm, avoid, deny responsibility, blame the victim, and blame others – just like he always does out of his own cowardice. Yet today, we – Americans - hold Bobby Sturgell accountable. Today, WE count the bodies that Bobby Sturgell is afraid and unwilling to count.

The blood is on Bobby Sturgell’s ugly FAA airline-bought-and-pai... hands. It is now confirmed. Sturgell’s failed FAA regime is responsible for the loss of more human life than that which occurred at The World Trade Center in Manhattan on September 11, 2001.

Quiet Rockland invites anyone else similarly-concerned, to carry out their own careful count of Bobby Sturgell’s and FAA’s fatality statistics since 2003. We are warning you, it is an unpleasant and difficult task. The NTSB aviation fatality links follow, immediately below.

Meanwhile, Bobby Sturgell and the other FAA ghouls continue to “celebrate” FAA’s “50th Anniversary”, with verbatim quotations like these:

www.faa.gov/news/speec...
“The… women and men of the FAA over the years have pulled together in one direction to create the safest transportation system in the history of the world”.
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Acting Administrator Robert A. “Bobby” Sturgell
August 21, 2008 Speech And Press Release Entitled: “The Credit Goes to You” – “FAA 50th Anniversary” (Washington, D.C.).

www.airventure.org/200...
“[I]t’s the safest period we’ve ever been in aviation”.
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Acting Administrator Robert A. “Bobby” Sturgell
August 1, 2008 EAA Air Venture Speech and Interview (Oshkosh, WI).

www.faa.gov/news/press...
“We are currently experiencing the safest period in aviation history… That’s not chance. It’s not a miracle. It’s the result of an entire industry making safety its driving focus”.
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Acting Administrator Robert A. “Bobby” Sturgell
April 2, 2008 Speech And Press Release Entitled: “FAA Announces Improvements to Inspection Program - Initial Airline Audit Validates Agency’s Overall Approach to Aviation Safety”, (Washington, D.C.).

www.faa.gov/news/testi...
“[W]e should note that we are living in the safest period in aviation history… Safety is and will always be the primary goal of the FAA”.
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Acting Administrator Robert A. “Bobby” Sturgell
September 26, 2007 Testimony And Statement Before the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, Subcommittee on Aviation, (Washington, D.C.).

Bobby Sturgell would deceive you into believing that his failed FAA regime was “the safest period in aviation history”.

The souls of no less than 3,383 dead, now attest otherwise.

Bobby Sturgell is a liar.

Bobby Sturgell and his failed FAA regime are responsible for an outrageous and unacceptable number of aviation fatalities.

The Bobby Sturgell FAA was the worst FAA regime in the agency’s 50-year history.

Quiet Rockland Urges America To REJECT Robert A. (“Bobby”) Sturgell As FAA Administrator

In the lyrics of Dewey Bunnell of the group America, from their 1971 song entitled “Sandman”:

“All the planes have been – grounded”.

It’s time to bring back America. The REAL America. The FAA is more broken than the cracked airplanes it purports to regulate. FAA Head “Bobby” Sturgell is a losing legacy case – the son of J. Edgar Hoover’s personal secretary, planted years later at the FAA, an agency that the powers-that-be assumed Sturgell could never muck up. Well, that failed legacy case named “Bobby” Sturgell DID muck it all up. Big time. The United States aviation system is now at flashpoint crisis. Enter, Sandman.

Quiet Rockland opposes Robert A. “Bobby” Sturgell’s confirmation as FAA Administrator. Moreover, Quiet Rockland calls for “Bobby” Sturgell’s SUMMARY REMOVAL as Acting FAA Administrator. “Bobby” Sturgell is an abominable public official. The current regime of the FAA is a dismal nightmare. The FAA is a guileful federal agency still dwelling in the pocket of industry. Together, Sturgell, the FAA, and the airlines derisively and contemptuously laugh at you and me, the American people – the people to whom this country belongs. But no more.

This spring started with cracked Southwest Airlines planes. The FAA allowed these planes to remain in revenue service. The FAA allowed passengers to fly in these cracked airplanes. And Southwest was more than happy to take money from passengers for flying in these cracked planes. Now but a few weeks later, at least four airlines have filed for federal bankruptcy protection, with more bankruptcy filings that may follow. The airline industry is disintegrating before our eyes just like the tired old defective planes which they pretend to maintain.

April 2008 has seen record numbers, in the thousands, of planes grounded. The groundings are “Bobby” Sturgell’s fault. The groundings are the direct result of a previously-illusory safety inspection regime and the astounding and unlawful regulatory ineptitude of the FAA, now under FBI investigation and Congressional investigation. The results of the groundings to the everyday American, were and are intolerable. Many thousands of travelers were stranded, and we are told by some that the problem may continue through the summer and beyond. This is what “Bobby” Sturgell would have all Americans endure for FIVE more years if he is confirmed as FAA Administrator? He MUST be joking.

Moreover, “Bobby” Sturgell now threatens our national stability and security. As John Dean observed almost two generations ago at the outset of the long national nightmare known as Watergate, there is a cancer growing on the Presidency. There is a cancer growing on the Administration, and on this country. That very cancer is failed FAA Acting Administrator “Bobby” Sturgell himself, and the rogue dysfunctional federal agency known as the FAA. “Bobby” Sturgell must be ejected. The FAA must be repopulated with competent and honest federal officials. As Senators Lautenberg and Menendez observed in an April 10, 2008 letter to “Bobby” Sturgell:

“The FAA’s hands-off approach to airline oversight has allowed …deliberate violations…, shoddy maintenance, incomplete record-keeping, and complacent oversight practices to fester”… “Why were… potentially unsafe planes allowed to fly…?”

Instead of protecting our safety like they are supposed to do, the FAA, in continuing complicity with the airlines, threatens hero aviation inspector whistleblowers. The House Transportation Committee hearing on Thursday April 3, 2008 exposed all of that in a 9-hour webcast, for all the world to see. As Congressman James Oberstar the Head of the House Transportation Committee observed, if last Thursday’s hearing “had been a grand jury proceeding, it would have resulted in indictments”.

While we find it unbelievable, a few Senators, and even possibly the President, continue to this day to support “Bobby” Sturgell as FAA Head. Quiet Rockland disagrees. We are proud Americans who believe in the integrity of the American system of government. We want national stability, national security, aviation safety, environmental justice, and aviation justice. We’re sick of our country’s aviation system being laughed at by other countries. We want to foster continued public pride in our government, and a continued belief that the system works - in the eyes of U.S. citizens, and in the eyes of the rest of the world. “Bobby” Sturgell’s removal as Acting FAA Head is integral to these goals.

Even if you assume arguendo that Mr. Sturgell did not himself personally make or sanction threats against aviation safety whistleblowers, the offensive activity occurred at a failed federal agency under his watch – as did all the other offensive FAA activity recently unearthed. The April 3 House hearing chronicled many other of “Bobby” Sturgell’s FAA failures. During that hearing we also learned that circa 2003 the FAA launched a “Partnership Program” wherein individuals spent months hand-delivering packets to airlines, happily announcing that airlines had become the “customers” and “clients” of the FAA. That’s flat wrong. WE THE PEOPLE are the customers of the FAA. The FAA is supposed to regulate the airlines. The FAA is not supposed to kiss the backsides of the airlines. As for “Bobby” Sturgell’s role and involvement in all of this perversion of justice and dereliction of federal duty, one only need note that “Bobby” Sturgell started work at the FAA in the very same year as the “Partnership Program” was launched – 2003. “Bobby” Sturgell is a private dancer for the very airline industry that callously and inhumanly threatens our safety. Never mind fox and henhouse. Just throw the bums out.

Quiet Rockland urges each Honorable U.S. Senator to further forestall any vote on “Bobby” Sturgell’s confirmation. Additionally, Quiet Rockland urges all Senators, and all Americans, to carefully consider the manifold reasons why any vote in support of “Bobby” Sturgell would be antithetical to the interests of this country and its citizens. What we want, is what is in the best interests of the American people – removal of “Bobby” Sturgell from office, NOW. The talent pool is deeper than this. There is more to leadership than rhapsodizing through one’s old aviator goggles. We have an ugly aviation safety crisis and scandal on our hands. Let’s wash our hands of it. Let’s wash our hands of “Bobby” Sturgell and his [f]ailed [a]viation [a]dministration. Quiet Rockland urges all Americans to Just Say No to “Bobby” Sturgell. Quiet Rockland urges all Americans to let all of our elected officials hear that, loud and clear. Enter, Sandman. The further case against Bobby Sturgell is posted at the following website:
