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.

On the Subject of American-Led Initiatives in Fusion Energy Development

The following represents a communication sent to the OIG Hotline of the U.S. DOJ on January 24, 2026 at 7:33 PM Pacific time.  This was originally sent as a confidential email, but apparent threats to my health and safety, and that of my loved ones, have required that I render these details fully public at this juncture.

Redacted segments below originally addressed confidentiality concerns in detail, considerations which are now moot.

*******************************************************************

OIG Hotline, this stands as a sensitive communication.  

The details about fusion as a clean energy source were allegedly given to an American scientist who worked for the U.S. military in 1992.

That information was reportedly suppressed.

President George H.W. Bush was allegedly briefed on the development, but is reported to have chosen not to go public with it at that time.

The scientist involved was allegedly cautioned to tell no one, and he held to that obligation.

The information was allegedly shared with a number of subsequent administrations, but there were apparently pressures in each case to hold it outside of the public view.

Now, at this critical juncture in our climate crisis, we need to ask to whom this information belongs.

Who "owns" it?  And toward what purpose?

Domestic investment in fusion research is now increasing in the private sphere, but U.S. capabilities are lagging behind China as of this writing.

In the meantime, China wields profound influence over U.S. policy, including energy policy, due to its holdings of U.S. treasuries.

The current administration has strong ties to Saudi Arabian oil interests, and this conflict of interest is unlikely to change in the near term.

As it stands, without intervention, the U.S. will cede control of fusion energy to China, and thus relinquish a leadership role of many pressing concerns that are global in scope.

The best course of action is behind us, in 1992, when the gift of the specifics of fusion as a viable energy source should have led to a broad-scale shift to clean energy worldwide.

My impression is that every possible inflection point must be engaged with -- which is to say, we need to try to made the difference in every possible time frame.

The stakes are staggeringly high.  And if we are hesitant in this necessity, the whole planet may be diminished in terms of the integrity of the environment.  So, too, if we fail to take the appropriate action, the sovereignty of the United States and the individual human rights which rely on that sovereignty may be abandoned.

This immense risk has been caused by undue secrecy and abundant conflict of interest, both.

Accordingly, I ask that 100 billion dollars from funds awarded in my name, a variation of my name, or associated with my identity be placed in a non-profit foundation dedicated to the prompt development of a viable fusion energy technology and its applications for the American public.'

The foundation should be overseen by an individual whose colleagues regard him or her as possessing the highest possible character and integrity.

Funds awarded to me have been designated as those with a focus on the preservation of the long term human rights of the American public, and it can be reasonably argued that there will be no viable human rights for the American public without successful resolution of our current climate crisis.

Priorities for these funds should be established with the assistance of lead fusion research personnel at Princeton University, MIT, University of Wisconsin-Madison, University of Texas at Austin, UC San Diego, University of Rochester, and the University of Michigan.

Infrastructure Tokamak projects which leapfrog designs of recent Chinese construction focused on fusion research should be viewed as a necessity.

It would be best for the U.S. military to assign a high-ranking, recently retired (though still in his/her prime) operations manager to oversee the necessary breakthroughs and development.  This needs to be someone who has ongoing close ties to the military leadership, and someone with stellar character and credentials, along with flawless loyalty to the United States.

This endeavor should be viewed as a "Manhattan Project" regarding fusion energy.  There should be ambitious goal-setting on a tight timeline of two to three years.  There should be plenty of brilliant academics, and an operations person on the military side, as stated -- all of whom will be key.  And there must be one individual, referenced above, who possesses unique information to assist.

Financial support is to be rendered public, (redacted content).  Having said that, the amount of the investment must be disclosed and the effort must be broadly publicized as a non-governmental initiative.  This allocation is dependent upon broad public disclosure of the investment, given that it cannot succeed without public awareness.

There must be recognition of the interests of oil companies and certain foreign nations in attempting to undermine the United States' efforts in the realm of fusion energy.  Protection for key personnel will be required.

If this investment on behalf of the American people bears fruit in the development of viable fusion energy technologies, I would ask that an effort be made to gradually refund the foundation from others' commercialization of those technologies so that further efforts toward the adoption of fusion technologies can be subsequently funded in a virtuous cycle from the original non-profit commitment to the wellbeing of the American people.

Environmental preservation is inextricably tied to our rescue of Americans' long term human rights.

The dedication of these funds to this effort is to be matched with careful accounting and protection from graft.  Any extortion attempts must be reported within records kept by the foundation, with transfer of those records to the Smithsonian Institution on a yearly basis for longer term inclusion in an exhibit regarding this case.  (Redacted content.)

Dr. Luis R. Carney should be included in the personnel recruited for this effort.

I will provide your Office with further documentation regarding this critical concern.

Most sincerely,

Lane MacWilliams
