If you think that no one is above the law, you don't know your FBI.

In Your FBI, 15 FBI whistleblowers recount their efforts to reveal FBI wrongful and unlawful actions. Each whistleblower suffered brutal retaliation for upholding the oath of office, and the FBI and Department of Justice wasted millions in taxpayer dollars to suppress the whistleblowers instead of simply addressing the issues they raised.

FBI malfeasance profoundly affects the rights of US citizens. For example, a supervisory special agent in the FBI lab blew the whistle on the systemic false testimony and bogus science used in many thousands of trials. The FBI fired him and tried to force a gag order. Despite court orders that are now decades old, the FBI has not yet reviewed all of the tainted cases, nor have they informed all defendants or defense attorneys of problems in the trials. 16 prisoners were executed without knowing they might be due retrials, and others sit in jail today who also don't know they may be due retrials.

·      An agent was harassed until he retired because he stood up for a disabled vet who was removed from the FBI Academy solely for his disability, despite passing all agent requirements, including firearms and tactical training. The FBI then offered this wounded warrior a job as a janitor.

·      One highly ranked FBI employee was made to sit alone on the 24^th floor of the New York office for years without equipment or work because he wouldn't rescind his report of timecard fraud.

·      An agent was fired for “tarnishing” the FBI's name when she told federal prosecutors that FBI employees were stealing from 9/11 Ground Zero.

·      An agent who was investigating whether white supremacists were planning a joint operation with an overseas terror group was removed from his casework when he reported an illegal electronic monitoring and records falsification. The terror case was closed without further investigation.

·      A whistleblower was fired because he kept reporting fake security clearance background checks.

·      Yet another, who was hired specifically to help revamp FBI procurement policies and procedures, was fired because he continued to report contract waste, fraud, and abuse.

Your FBI gives voice to these and other courageous FBI whistleblowers whose testimony the FBI sought to suppress.

ALINA: A SONG FOR THE TELLING is the coming-of-age story of a young woman from Provence in the 12th century who travels to Jerusalem, where she is embroiled in political intrigue, theft, and murder, and finds her voice.

“You should be grateful, my girl. You have no dowry, and I am doing everything I can to get you settled.  You are hardly any man's dream.” Alina's brother Milos pulled his face into a perfect copy of Aunt Marci's sour expression, primly pursing his mouth. He got her querulous tone just right.  Maybe Alina's aunt was right. She could not possibly hope to become a musician, a trobairitz—impoverished as she was and without the status of a good marriage. But Alina refuses to accept the life her aunt wants to impose on her. At the first opportunity she and her brother embark on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land to pray for their father's soul and to escape from their aunt and uncle's strictures. Their journey east takes them through the Byzantine Empire all the way to Jerusalem, where Alina is embroiled in political intrigue, theft, and murder. Forced by a manipulative, powerful lord at court into acting as an informer, Alina tries to protect her wayward brother, while coming to terms with her attraction to a French knight.

A column of soldiers marched toward the battlefield on a November morning.  Over the babble of unconnected conversations Grenadier Franz Ehrholt's voice sounded like a clarion. “You know,” he started in his philosophy professor's monotone voice that he used to impress anyone who might be listening, “I'm not frightened of dying”.  He paused for effect.  There were a few comments about whether or not dying would rid the platoon of Ehrholt's incessant silly thoughts.  The criticism told him that many were listening.  That was a fatal mistake on their part.  He continued, “after all, dying is what a soldier does best.  The skill comes naturally.  No speed training necessary with countless hours of drill.  Even the most inept soldier just has a knack for catching a bullet or a piece of flaming shell.  Yup, not afraid of dying,” Ehrholt said as if he were an echo of his own voice which had just returned from bouncing off a distant mountain.  “It's surviving all this that I'm afraid of.”

     In that brief observation lays the crux of this book.  Four soldiers survived the Great War and launched themselves into the maelstrom that followed.  One stayed with the army in hopes of influencing how a new army was to be molded.  Another attempted to go home but was conscripted into a band of Polish guerillas whose job was to violently influence German citizens, the very people he had fought two years in the trenches for, into leaving territory that the Poles wanted for their new nation.  While the other two soldiers joined the Polish ranks to fight against the expanding communist Russians.  The unexpected twists soon follow.  Their paths cross when the guerilla was captured by the soldier who stayed in the army and another becomes a spy against German interests in Russia.  The final twist comes when all meet in Spain to oppose German backed fascist forces in the trenches before Madrid.

“It's surviving that I am afraid of.”
