My Third Novel's Conclusion, My Heartbreak

My heart begins to break when I think about completing this particular book -- because this narrative has sustained me like no other story I've known. It's both more personal and more universal than my other works. But beyond memory and archetype, it's a cri-de-coeur about needing to become the person one is destined to be. And in the writing, I have met my own life's work, my own fated journey -- having the sense all the while that the pages are suffused with a resonance, an energy, an electrified field that defies explanation. Writers hope and pray to be overtaken by a work in this way -- to be conscripted into passionate service of a profound story. To experience it even once in a lifetime seems a great privilege. I still have several months before this novel is complete, and this constitutes my reprieve. Because I'm not ready for the beauty to end.

Rule or Ruin: The Ethos of the Far Right

1.  The far right within the FBI has extended organized-crime-type of threats to both of your sons. 

Answer:  Yes, and beyond this, the FBI has caused active harm to both of my sons in a manner that is inexcusable for any civilized society.

2.  One of the threats extended to your sons  -- and to you yourself -- recently, is the threat of EMP directed by Vladimir Putin but exploding over American skies.

Answer:  It appears that the far right within the FBI is extending this threat actively at this time, yes.

3.  Is the far right alleging that it has the cooperation of some high-ranking individuals within the DoD in contemplating such a plan?

Answer:  Yes, it is.

4.  Is there the allegation that the far right wants to rush to perpetrate these crimes before Mark Milley leaves the job of Chairman of the Joint Chiefs at the end of September?

Answer:  That allegation has been made.

5.  What is your take on this threat?

Answer:  I have tremendous faith in President Joseph Robinette Biden as our Commander in Chief, and also in Lloyd Austin III as the man President Biden selected as our Secretary of Defense.

I'm sure these gentlemen will have a conversation with Mark Milley if necessary, to let him know that he remains in all ways responsible for preventing any such incident.

6.  You believe that Americans would benefit from a greater awareness of the ways in which Vladimir Putin violently opposes our democracy, and is working in every way possible to subvert it.

Answer:  I do.  The far right and Vladimir Putin are allied against those who support the freedom of mankind.  That's not hyperbole.  That's reality.

7.  So, to hear that Fox News and Donald Trump are offering praise to Vladimir Putin ...

Answer:  The man is our avowed adversary. 500,000 people have died in Ukraine, attempting to defend their own nation.  Putin is attempting a totalitarian takeover, not merely in Ukraine, but in far right movements around the world.  The United States is no exception, as the propaganda of Fox News demonstrates for all of us.

8.  And to Mark Milley, you would say?

Answer:  The world is watching you, sir, as you fulfill your vows to keep America's lights on during the final eleven days of your tenure.

9.  How would you characterize the far right in total?

Answer:  It's a criminal movement, funded by organized crime, expanded through "kompromat," dedicated to a parasitic relationship with the real, productive economy.  It is committed to the "rule or ruin" ethos which says that the far right will eat its lunch, but it will eat your lunch, too.  These people want to take everything of value from you, and if they meet resistance, they immediately resort to threats of escalation.

10.  Does the Counter-terrorism Division of the FBI consist of those who terrorize law-abiding American citizens?

Answer:  They have certainly terrorized my law-abiding American family.

11.  Are they keeping anyone safe?

Answer:  Safe from whom?  From themselves?  I haven't felt truly safe in years, yet the FBI has given me a tremendous amount of attention.  

12.  So, when the FBI threatens to burn your property to ashes, as they have threatened to do tonight, what do you think privately to yourself?

Answer:  I think privately to myself that the far right within the FBI consists of unrepentant terrrorists wearing badgers and wielding the public trust.

Should they be coddled?  Appeased?  Enabled?

My answer is a resounding no.

13.  Is the FBI controlling the HotShots deployment said to be connected to this particular plan of arson?

Answer: That's likely in the realm of JSOC Ghost teams.  But is Christopher Wray aware of what's transpiring?  Absolutely.

13.  You believe the far right within the FBI is making a concerted bid for control in advance of the next presidential election.

Answer:  I do.

14.  What needs to happen to ensure that the far right does not overtake our democracy?

Answer:  The public needs to awaken to the threat.  The FBI is attempting to perpetrate a coup from above, in essence, a usurpation of the people's sovereignty.  The American people need to understand how and why they are making the attempt.

15.  You believe President Biden is a heroic defender of democracy the world over in the face of the far right's bid for power.

Answer:  I know he is.  He is democracy's brightest hope, because of his insight, his wisdom, and his courage in combination.

16.  You're a tremendous admirer of our Commander in Chief.

Answer:  Oh, yes.  Yes, I am.  He is a man for our time, and a man for all time.  The American public needs to understand the reasons why.

17.  How can this be done?

Answer:  There's nothing more powerful than a compelling truth compellingly told.

18.  Your experience with the FBI's falsified law enforcement reporting, you mean.

Answer:  That's exactly what I mean.

19.  Do you hold onto hope that you will be able to articulate that truth?

Answer:  Fervently.  I do.

20.  Why does it matter so much to you?

Answer:  Why does the sovereignty of mankind matter?  Why does freedom of thought matter?  Why does the sanctity of the human spirit matter?

21.  You believe that all of this is at stake in this historical moment.

Answer:  All of this and more.
