And how "just" is our justice system?
Find out for yourself as you read how:
- a federal court of appeals judge in Chicago used his influence to have a decision fixed regarding an appeal filed against rogue police

Rich in information, Motion for Justice: I Rest My Case shares Brian Vukadinovich's experiences and intimate knowledge of governmental
and judicial corruption and what went on behind the scenes in Indiana for years in efforts to take away his freedom and livelihood as a
teacher.
Motion for Justice: I Rest My Case, in a straightforward, no-holds-barred style, will open your eyes to government and judicial
corruption that you have never before heard or seen the likes of. Brian Vukadinovich minces no words when he writes about his journey for
justice, calling out high-level state and federal officials, including state and federal judges, for undermining Vukadinovich's efforts in
exposing government corruption.
Motion for Justice: I Rest My Case will show how law enforcement agencies in Indiana conspired to take
Brian Vukadinovich's freedom away from him by falsely arresting and vindictively prosecuting him on numerous occasions and how he successfully
took on the corrupt police—in many of the cases, representing himself and successfully arguing for dismissal of the bogus charges.
In Motion
for Justice: I Rest My Case, you will read how John Bolton, as assistant attorney general of the U.S. Department of Justice at the time,
and current national security adviser to President Trump, turned a blind eye to significant evidence of police-corruption activities against
Brian Vukadinovich.
Motion for Justice: I Rest My Case will show how numerous lawyers teamed up in efforts to have Brian Vukadinovich fired
from teaching jobs and how he fought the corrupt lawyers and won two federal lawsuits, including a five-day jury trial in March 2016 when he
represented himself and convinced a federal jury that the corporation violated his due process rights and awarded him damages of $203,840.39.
The case received substantial national attention.
In writing the powerful foreword to Motion for Justice: I Rest My Case, Richard A. Posner,
retired longtime distinguished judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, called Brian Vukadinovich "A wonderful
American success story" and "determined, indomitable, fearless, and daring."
"Brian is not only a terrific litigator; he is a terrific
writer, as the reader of this book will soon learn." Richard A. Posner Retired judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit
"Vukadinovich has plenty to say - a luxury many lawyers often don't have."—Indiana Lawyer, Vol. 27 No. 21, December 14-27, 2016
"Since 1981, Vukadinovich has been arrested by Valparaiso police seven times. Each time, he was found not guilty or charges were dismissed."—The Vidette
Messenger, January 4, 1992
"After one arrest, he left jail with a broken jaw; after another, he was handcuffed in a patrol car with a police dog."—The Indianapolis Star, May 8, 1988

An urgent, compact manifesto that will teach you how to protect your rights, your freedom, and your future when talking to police.
Law professor James J. Duane became a viral sensation thanks to a 2008 lecture outlining the reasons why you should never agree to answer questions from the police—especially
if you are innocent and wish to stay out of trouble with the law. In this timely, relevant, and pragmatic new book, he expounds on that presentation, offering a vigorous defense of every citizen's constitutionally protected right to avoid self-incrimination.
Getting a lawyer is not only the best policy, Professor Duane argues, it's also the advice law-enforcement professionals give their own kids.
Using actual case histories of innocent men and women exonerated after decades in prison because of information they voluntarily gave to police, Professor Duane demonstrates the critical importance of a constitutional right not well or widely understood by the average American.
Reflecting the most recent attitudes of the Supreme Court, Professor Duane argues that it is now even easier for police to use your own words against you. This lively and informative guide explains what everyone needs to know to protect themselves and those they love.

"I never ask for mercy and seek no one's sympathy. I would never, as was once needlessly feared in this court, be a fugitive from justice in this country, only a seeker of it."
– Conrad Black, in his statement to the court, June 24, 2011
In 1993, Conrad Black was the proprietor of London's Daily Telegraph and the head of one of the world's largest newspaper groups. He completed a memoir in 1992, A Life in Progress, and "great prospects beckoned."
In 2004, he was fired as chairman of Hollinger International after he and his associates were accused of fraud. Here, for the first time, Black describes his indictment, four-month trial in Chicago, partial conviction, imprisonment, and largely successful appeal.
In this unflinchingly revealing and superbly written memoir, Black writes without reserve about the prosecutors who mounted a campaign to destroy him and the journalists who presumed he was guilty. Fascinating people fill these pages, from prime ministers and presidents to the social, legal, and media elite, among them:
Margaret Thatcher, Tony Blair, George W. Bush, Jean Chrétien, Rupert Murdoch, Izzy Asper, Richard Perle, Norman Podhoretz, Eddie Greenspan, Alan Dershowitz, and Henry Kissinger.
Woven throughout are Black's views on big themes: politics, corporate governance, and the U.S. justice system. He is candid about highly personal subjects, including his friendships—with those who have supported and those who have betrayed him—his Roman Catholic faith, and his marriage to Barbara Amiel.
And he writes about his complex relations with Canada, Great Britain, and the United States, and in particular the blow he has suffered at the hands of that nation.
In this extraordinary book, Black maintains his innocence and recounts what he describes as "the fight of and for my life." A Matter of Principle is a riveting memoir and a scathing account of a flawed justice system.

Constitutional Sound Bites explains America's founding documents in a format that is familiar to 21st century readers. This is accomplished in a simple, unbiased, easy-to-read presentation that takes into account the "sound bite" nature of today's cyber-driven, fast-click culture.
Constitutional Sound Bites translates an 18th century message into a 21st century format. It is available on Amazon both in print and Kindle.
There are over 150 question-and-answer entries, and each conveys a stand-alone message about the philosophy, organization, and purpose of America's founding documents. The book brings home the fact that America's shared heritage is neither liberal nor conservative, neither republican nor democrat, but American.
The book also contains the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution and all of its amendments.
Constitutional Sound Bites brings the Constitution alive and explains the origins, purposes, and philosophy of the document. Understanding the Constitution's objectives for government, as expressed in the Declaration of Independence and Preamble, gives meaning and relevance.
Knowledge reveals the purpose of the detailed provisions. The provisions are not simply dry details of government structure, but protections for freedom and liberty. Perhaps the most important thing to consider about the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights is that the ideals and principles belong to all of us and are a gift from the 18th century to the 21st.

John's book, The Convenient Terrorist: Two Whistleblowers' Stories of Torture, Terror, Secret Wars, and CIA Lies, co-authored with Joseph Hickman, was published by Skyhorse Publishing in July 2017.
It's a first-person account of the hunt for Abu Zubaydah, formerly believed to be al-Qaeda's third-ranking leader, his capture, torture, incarceration, and transfer to Guantanamo by the two people who knew him best throughout the experience.
The book has had excellent reviews:
• Academy Award-winning director and writer Oliver Stone called it "a fascinating and important story well told."
• Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. said the book was, "The riveting story of the man in the center of a historic crisis that cost America her moral authority and her claims to exceptionalism." He added that it was, "A courageous spy's heartbreaking dissection of the milestone incident that marked the devolution of American idealism."
• Bestselling author Mark Crispin Miller described The Convenient Terrorist as a "disturbing book, which should enlighten anyone who thinks that 1984 did not arrive in the United States until the age of Trump."
• Michael Steven Smith, the cohost of Law and Disorder, said, "This book describes the horrific, prolonged, and illegal torture by the CIA and the Department of Defense of Abu Zubaydah at Guantanamo. Coauthor John Kiriakou was imprisoned for blowing the whistle on this.
Bush, Cheney, and their complicit underlings should have served time instead. They didn't, and now Trump wants to use torture again. Read this book. And stop him."

It is clear that there is frustration on the part of many Americans with the general direction of the nation. There has been an abandonment of the principles of free markets and limited government upon which America was founded. We didn't get to this point overnight and it's going to take more than one or two election cycles to reverse it.
In this book, Turning Point USA founder, Charlie Kirk, and co-author Brent Hamachek share their vision of a future America where we the people have once again embraced free markets and limited government. Unlike other books about the sad state of American liberty, they discuss what needs to be done and how it needs to be done to restore America's freedom.
In the book's early pages, the authors offer a glimpse into the futuristic world of a character they've named "Julio." Julio's world stands in stark contrast to that of "Julia," the fictional government-dependent lass from Barack Obama's 2012 re-election campaign. Julio lives an entire life surrounded by free markets and liberty and uses it to help himself and others along the way.
Once the story of Julio concludes, the authors spend the rest of the book giving the reader a playbook as to how make Julio's fictional world a reality.
In the final chapter, the authors share a unique and compelling account of how America has come to be so divided through a combination of historical events, corruption of language, and the formation of "teams." They create a brand new paradigm through which citizens can view issues and engage in useful and productive debate.

Bad Minds, High Places, America's Archipelago of Legal Failure is the first person, non-fiction story of an attorney who was pursued across the country by several sets of police and banned from all Ohio court review for publishing an editorial critical of a Cleveland, Ohio judge.
It exposes the sequestered and organized corruption of a politicized state judiciary that intentionally failed on an alarming scale from the local to the federal level. The failure not only represents a ruined structure, but the grass-roots deterioration of American character.
Bad Minds shows how elected judiciaries fail and how judges, police, prosecutors and even court clerical staff turned institutions charged with maintaining ethical standards into criminal, personal interest groups.

The driving force behind this book is the need to convince the populace that the danger is real and paramount: the system has decayed to the point that it would no longer be recognizable to the Framers if they were alive. If you think you are immune from attack because you follow the law, think again. You must take an active role—even simply by spreading the word—to stem the tide.
This publication is not intended to be a protective guide like Stack the Legal Odds in Your Favor. It is intended to be another reliable smaller news source. It is a recounting or an exposé of true events related to the author’s and others’ legal experiences—all supported by irrefutable facts and evidence. This work should be viewed as a lengthy news article or a reporter’s marathon dialogue at the scene of an unfolding catastrophic event.
People who have committed wrongdoing and crimes will be named in this book. Unlike protection associated with any form of immunity—qualified, judicial, absolute, or otherwise—nobody will evade culpability. Government lawyers, such as Kristin Tavia Mihelic, will be named. Her misconduct will be revealed. Her crimes will be exposed.
Judge Louise DeCarl Adler will similarly be thrust into the spotlight. Her misconduct and crimes will also not escape exposure. The list of miscreants is lengthy and is constantly growing, but everyone within my purview who is responsible for their iniquitous or criminal acts will be held accountable in this true report.
Most people who have not (yet) experienced our illustrious injustice system may think the events described herein would be part of the script for a Hollywood fantasy movie—or more appropriately, a Hollywood horror flick. This is not so. Everything put forth will be supported by rock-solid evidence. The intent of this eye-opener is to prove to the reader that any outrageous system-related stories they may have heard from friends, family members, or colleagues are likely true.
It is also intended to be the proverbial whack on the side of the head that some individuals need to make them understand that being struck with the syndicate is not an “other person’s disease.” Ordinary people in Amerika must wake up to the fact that chances are high they will someday encounter the toxic waste dump also known as the world’s largest crime syndicate. The information in this book is a clarion call; however, time is running out. Read it, but fasten your seatbelts first. It’s going to be one heck of a bumpy ride.....
