My memoir will be available @ Amazon, Kindle and Nook on May 7, 2012. However, I am offering limited signed copies here @ http://classifiedwoman.com

Excerpts:

I've read a million reviews of nonfiction books about our government that referred to them as "page-turners" and "gripping dramas," but I had never read a book that actually fit that description until now.
...

The F.B.I., the Justice Department, the White House, the Congress, the courts, the media, and the nonprofit industrial complex put Sibel Edmonds through hell. This book is her triumph over it all, and part of her contribution toward fixing the problems she uncovered and lived through.
...
Yet, thus far, no branch of our government has lifted its little finger to fix the problem of secrecy and the corruption it breeds, which Edmonds argues has grown far worse under President Obama. That's why this book should be spread far and wide, and read aloud to our misrepresentatives in Congress if necessary. This book is a masterpiece that reveals both the details and the broader pattern of corruption and unaccountability in Washington, D.C. Edmonds has not exposed bad apples, but a rotten barrel of toxic waste that will sooner or later infect us all -- not just the whistleblowers like Sibel and the thousands of people in our government who see something and dare not say something for fear that we will not have their back.

Last night, actually ... this morning (since we are talking 12:00 a.m. interview here!) I was interviewed by journalist, producer and radio host James Corbett. Despite several commercial breaks we were able to cover several important topics related to Classified Woman.


Tonight on the program we are joined by FBI whistleblower, transparency activist, and alternative media personality, Sibel Edmonds, about her new memoir, Classified Woman. We discuss the details of her Kafkaesque struggle trying to bring her story to light and how she has managed to publish her book in the face of opposition and subversion from the government, the media, and the foundation-funded NGOs who are supposed to “protect” the whistleblowers.

Please let me know what you think. Do I make sense after midnight- after turning into a pumpkin?

Peter B. Collins interviewed me for his show, and we went on for two hours of an uninterrupted ‘unplugged session.’ I must tell you (many of you already know this): Peter knows how to unplug his guests. And I was no exception!

Here is how it goes with me: I always have a ‘fairly stiff’ start when interviewed. Usually it takes about 15 to 20 minutes before I relax and let it pour. This is why I don’t like doing those 10-15 minute sound-bite interviews broken up by several commercial sessions. I am putting it mildly when I say ‘don’t like’- it is more like ‘I passionately hate.’

Now back to Peter B. Collins interview. During the last 30 minutes of our two-hour session (Second half of End of Part II) I went ‘totally unplugged.’ What do I mean by that? I am talking about passion and bottled up emotions pouring out (by the way: no- I was not sobbing). I am not going back to listen to it (I never listen to my own interviews-NEVER). However, I highly recommend listening to this two-part interview series if you are interested in this story-my case and my book.

And finally, as always, I am thankful to Peter for providing me with this opportunity. During my WB journey, between 2005 and 2008, he interviewed me at least 5 times. He was and is my favorite radio host, and no one comes close when it comes to ‘unplugging’ guests, uncovering topics-issues, and presenting highly informative interviews.

Here is Part 1 of Classified Woman interview with Peter B. Collins: Click Here

James Corbett presents the unprecedented lengths that the government has gone to suppress the Sibel Edmonds Story, and the publishing industry’s active collusion with the FBI, the CIA, and other government agencies to either "allow" or "disallow" the publication of books by certain whistleblowers. Corbett discusses new technologies and self-publishing enabling whistleblowers and truth-tellers to circumvent the entire government/media/NGO conglomerate that has dominated the entire institutional infrastructure of "approved whistleblowing,” and the opportunity now available to the public to familiarize themselves with the information that the government has been fighting for years to suppress in any and every way possible.

Yesterday (Friday, May 18), I had another video-radio session with Alex Jones that was supposed to be for 20 minutes but went on for over an hour. I was completely (utterly-totally) unplugged. Mr. Jones has a way of opening up his interviewees. Not only that, he is not afraid of getting into the ‘real’ issues-the macro topics. Some of you may know this already, but for those of you who don’t: I get miserably bored (and frustrated) when I am asked to recap the sufferings related to the whistleblowing journey, and to talk about the minute issues of bureaucratic bungling and incompetence. Unfortunately that happens to be the norm. Fortunately, for this Jones’ session I was not placed in that utterly boring and sleep-inducing position. We got to talk, passionately talk, about the macro issues, the most important aspects of my case and whistleblowing journey, and the core problems facing our nation. Thank you Alex Jones!

I am truly grateful to Mr. Jasper and the New American Magazine for writing and publishing this very well-written and assessed review of my book. This review is written by a journalist and author who knows and truly understands the saga of government whistleblowers. Several years ago, in the early-mid 2000s, Mr. Jasper was one of very few true journalists who daringly covered, reported, and wrote about the facts and harsh realities involved in cases of national security whistleblowers- including me and several members of our organization (NSWBC). As you can tell from the review below, he understands and knows what he is talking about, and that my friends, is a real rarity when it comes to the US media and those who sell themselves off as journalists. Here are some excerpts from the review:

http://www.boilingfrogspost.com/2012/...

Ray Bradbury once characterized his classic dystopian novel Fahrenheit 451 as being a literary novel disguised as a fugitive chase story. Edmonds’s own fictional approach deploys a similar story-telling technique, one grounded in the fast-paced, life-or-death aesthetics of her foremost subject matter …

… The Lone Gladio’s ability to distill the complexity of the “Deep State” down to its most basic properties is arguably the novel’s greatest achievement. Through a vast array of pieced together narratives, with characters spread out within a wide labyrinth of hidden networks and locations––from Turkey to Vietnam; Washington to Azerbaijan––a comprehensive vision of this veiled reality is meticulously constructed …

… In its own “web of ambiguity,” The Lone Gladio journeys beyond labels and pegged ideas to frequently ask more of its readers than meets the eye. The space between the traditional roles of protagonist and antagonist are so compact at times that a true distinction between good and evil is left nearly indecipherable …
