My Vow to Serve United States Sovereignty

1.  How are your circumstances in Tehachapi at the current time?

Answer:  I would describe them as siege-like.  There are threats that my car will be blindsided at a stop sign or traffic light if I attempt to travel anywhere.  

Further afield, it is reported that the OIG Hotline has been prevented from forwarding appropriate documentation to my legal representation today -- a deficit I hope I have now corrected.

Beyond this, I would like to have an assurance that the Foundation is intact and that its assets are currently safe from misappropriation -- and robustly supported against misappropriation in the future.

2.  What about the Supreme Court?  Is the Supreme Court answering primarily to the FBI at this time?

Answer:  I think the Supreme Court supports the sovereignty of the United States, and I think the Honorable Justices understand how critical their decision-making will be for Americans' freedoms in perpetuity.

Do I believe the FBI is wrongfully pressuring the Supreme Court?  I do.

3.  What about suggestions that certain political figures are trying to reach out to you at this time?

Answer:  I think political algorithms are reaching out to me at this time through texts to my phone and this sort of AI-generated "communication," which isn't communication at all.  Do I think there's some testing of my willingness to engage in dialogue?  Clearly, there is.

4.  What are your views about this?

Answer:  You cannot negotiate with someone who wants your life.  The FBI is really behind all of this so-called "outreach," and the FBI has made itself very clear that it has first-degree murder foremost in the agency's mind.  Insightful people cannot become confused on this point.

There are times when diplomacy is profoundly important.  But murderers and diplomats are fundamentally opposed in their aims.  War and peace are not comparable outcomes.

5.  You have recently spoken a vow to uphold the United States.

Answer:  I have, yes.

6.  May I ask the contents of that vow?

Answer:  Yes, certainly.  I am currently on leave from the Foundation I have specified for the support of United States sovereignty, it is important to state.  

These are the words I spoke:

I do solemnly swear that I will uphold the sovereignty and wellbeing of the United States with my every effort, initiative, and allocation pertaining to the Foundation and otherwise; that I will support the safety, self-determination and future of the American people, and the sustainability of the environment on which all our freedoms rely; that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge all duties associated with this promise.  So help me God.

7.  What does that vow mean to you, please?

Answer:  It means that I have dedicated myself to the sovereignty of our nation and the sustainability on which that sovereignty depends.

And it means that if everyone else is caving into the winds and weather and turbulence of these times, I will still stand faithful to my vow to serve and to lead in every capacity possible.

8.  Would you ever consider elected office?

Answer:  Only if it were determined that I possessed no conflict of interest in serving the nation to my utmost.

Beyond this, I would want people to know that my style of leadership would ultimately involve partnerships with those who could assist us in transitioning to clean energy in a time frame that would be most meaningful for our future.

I wouldn't care about being re-elected, and I would explain to my constituents that I cared about them more than personal political ambitions.

Then I would ask for their help, their teamwork, their support, and their engagement on every level so that we could accomplish the changes that are most crucial for our sustained sovereignty.

Given our climate crisis, we need to partner with the right messengers and we need to enlist the entire public in a unified effort to make transformative changes on a clear timeline.

The alternatives are Draconian, and they will not manifest in some indeterminate future we cannot grasp.  On the contrary, if we fail to re-approach this crisis, the horrific consequences of inaction will manifest quite rapidly.

9.  What about the allegation that the public would never consent to such changes?

Answer: Change is coming for us, whether we consent to it or not.

The critical thing in reproaching this crisis point is to respect the public enough to educate them about the most compelling truths we can convey about the environment, and also to provide the right messengers so that the public as a whole can gain understanding.  

No one spokesperson can be heard by everyone, and this simply relates to the fact that we all live within different social frameworks that allow certain communications and inhibit others.  So, we need a broad array of messengers, including those from the United States military, to disclose to the public the seriousness of our circumstances and to ask for their help in meeting a whole panoply of timely goals.  

The necessity of environmental sustainability needs to be de-politicized, and we can accomplish this effectively by making the right partnerships in this effort.

10.  Why is environmental sustainability so central to United States sovereignty?

Answer:  For those who have never studied Easter Island, the example is illuminating.

In that case, deforestation led to soil erosion, which led to a collapse of the food supply, which was accompanied by enslavement of part of the population, all of which led to decimation of the population as a whole.

The Earth is our island, and our expert stewardship of the environment is necessary for all of our most meaningful freedoms in the context of a worthy and thriving civilization.

11.  In other words, we cannot manifest our freedoms without also fulfilling our responsibilities.

Answer:  Exactly so.

12.  But is this paradigm shift possible for us in realistic terms?

Answer:  I wouldn't be here if it weren't possible for us.  Yes, we can achieve it.

13.  Will you please keep in close communication with us, given the current circumstances?

Answer:  Of course.

14.  Thank you for speaking with us this afternoon.

Answer:  You are most welcome.

A Letter to Tehachapi Police Department Chief Richard Standbridge

 Dear Tehachapi Police Department Chief Richard Standbridge:

I am informed that your police department has been wrongfully directed by the FBI regarding several corrupt initiatives.

One of them allegedly pertains to misconduct by at least two of your active duty police officers on Thursday, October 15, 2026, in which one of them performed a PTSD episode and another provided a false witness statement.  It is alleged that a retired officer from your department, together with his wife, also provided false witness statements related to this staged incident to correspond to an alleged AI-generated film, the contents of which I have not seen.  

While this event was allegedly directed by corrupt FBI officials, lying by police officers is still a crime in the state of California.  

Please note that I have requested all information relating to this misconduct on October 15, 2026,  yet I have received nothing as of this writing.

It is alleged that your department feels sufficiently under threat due to the possibility of public revelations of its misconduct that your staff members are now involved in subsequent plans to commit yet further crimes of wrongful public aggression, also based on knowingly falsified law enforcement information.

The FBI has allegedly tampered with one or more of my legitimate purchases from Amazon, replacing the shipment or shipments with contents unknown to me.  Not all of my purchases are currently opened, though I will do so as soon as possible.

Currently, I am maintaining books, dog supplies, and other extra belongings at a storage facility in Tehachapi, the manager of which has also been in direct communication with your department.

I need to be able to travel safely within Tehachapi, including to my hotel and/or my storage area, without fear of wrongful arrest or assault by your officers or their affiliates.

I believe you are aware that I stand as a human rights advocate in defense of the sovereignty of the United States as a whole.  The issues causing the greatest challenges to the United States in the context of national sovereignty are complex, and considered sensitive by federal authorities, for understandable reasons.  This is my way of expressing that there are many factors involving this case of which you remain unaware.  Your separation from the larger factors at play will persist, unfortunately.

Yet, it is important for you to understand that your department's interference in my safety and security threatens my ability to intervene on behalf of the long term freedoms of all Americans.

Accordingly, I ask that you communicate directly with the Office of the Inspector General Hotline of the U.S. Department of Justice in resolving this matter as soon as possible.

I am not a "foreign agent," a "human trafficker," a "drug smuggler," or a felon of any kind.

Instead, I am an honorable American who is expressing that our shared future matters to the health of our communities, to the wellbeing of our nation, to the fate of all those who look to us to set the standard for human rights, and to the sustainability of the global environment.

Please assist these worthy goals by addressing your department's misconduct in the wisest and most honorable manner in communication with the OIG Hotline at this time.

Thank you for your prompt and conscientious engagement with this matter.

Sincerely,

Lane MacWilliams

Requiring Accountability from the Tehachapi Police Department

OIG Hotline,  there is a suggestion that the police department in Tehachapi feels that it is cornered in the commission of serious crimes due to my discovery of the participation of at least two of its active duty personnel in an alleged incident of knowingly false reporting ten days ago.  

I have extended a CPRA/FOIA request to the police department, but have not received any information in response.

Is it possible that knowingly false information was placed in the mail only to be intentionally removed prior to my receipt?  Certainly, this represents a potential stratagem for a police department that may be directed by the FBI not to retract obvious falsehoods.

The problem, in addition to the fact that lying by law enforcement officers is a serious crime in the state of California, is that I am now receiving death threats within the confines of the city of Tehachapi.  If Tehachapi police are unwilling to disclose information to me through CPRA/FOIA, I would respectfully ask for your Office's further assistance in resolving my complaint against this office.

The law requires that I be provided with the information the police possess, even if it is AI-generated.

If the Tehachapi police are unwilling to provide this information, the withholding is tantamount to a confession of malfeasance on their part and on the part of the FBI, which allegedly directed their misconduct in substantive detail.

I cannot answer false assertions that I cannot examine.

Nor can I respond to false assertions in the event of further police malfeasance.

The FBI would clearly like to assert that I am disabled in some measure and therefore cannot claim awards that have been extended in my case, nor allocate them to the Foundation.

Yet, the FBI's problem is precisely that I do not exhibit incapacity in any way, shape or form.

Rather, my identification of two Tehachapi police officers, and one officer who is likely retired from the same department, involved in coordinated aggression on October 15, 2026, has surprised everyone involved for just how capable my discovery was.

The FBI's problem is that I am too able, not that I lack discernment.

I will be placing this information in the public sphere and will continue to write about the details of those offending officers involved until and unless your Office assures me that this matter has been successfully resolved with the withdrawal of all false accusations by the Tehachapi Police Department and, correspondingly, the FBI, together with appropriate penalties assessed.

Thank you for your support regarding this important matter.

Most sincerely, 

Lane MacWilliams, aka Carol Elaine Von Herzen

Formal Claim of All Awards Extended Through All Government Agencies and Affiliates Re: Knowingly Falsified Law Enforcement Reporting: October 23, 2026

 OIG Hotline, I am claiming the following awards as an individual, currently on leave of absence from the Foundation.

I am also electing of my own free will and accord to deposit these funds into the Foundation for the support of United States sovereignty.

Because I have legal accountability for the funds awarded to me, I respectfully request that all funds awarded to me and to other cases related to knowingly falsified law enforcement records over time be included in the documentation of this case, to be provided to me at the appropriate time.

I ask that misappropriated funds be returned to the Foundation on an immediate basis.

I realize that the full documentation of this case involves thousands of pages of documents, aggregated over a period of years of effort in supporting American sovereignty.

If I am asked to curate that documentation, I will of course engage with that endeavor.

The sovereignty of the United States can be lost through acts of both commission and omission, which is to say that we must not only advocate for the preservation of American sovereignty, but we must oppose the efforts of adversaries of American sovereignty to misappropriate funds relating to this case and parallel cases.

I will be writing further about this necessary approach later today.

Thank you for allowing me to extend this documentation to your Office.

Most sincerely,

Lane MacWilliams, aka Carol Elaine Von Herzen

To the OIG Hotline of the U.S. DOJ, this letter is to formally claim all awards that have been extended in adjudication of knowingly falsified law enforcement reporting by the FBI, by other governmental agencies in the United States and elsewhere, and by their affiliates over the entire course of my human rights advocacy and related case.

This is to include all awards extended in my name and/or associated with my identity and/or social security number as of this writing.  This is to include my maiden name, Carol Elaine Von Herzen, and misspellings of my maiden name, my author name, Lane von Herzen, and misspellings of my author name, and my married name, Lane MacWilliams, and misspellings of my married name.

This is also to include any and all funds extended through adjudication of other cases of knowingly falsified law enforcement reporting by the FBI, by other governmental agencies, in the United States and elsewhere, and by their affiliates, if the Supreme Court rules or has ruled that those funds may be legally and ethically claimed and deposited into the Foundation I have designated for the preservation of the sovereignty of the United States.

Due to apparent repeated attempts to misappropriate these funds, please place them in the Foundation at your earliest opportunity, thus protecting them from invasion by those who may seek to personally profiteer from this case.

If any government agencies or current or former government officials have facilitated the hacking or invasion of my accounts in order to misappropriate funds awarded to me, I ask that those funds be assertively re-appropriated and replaced.

Please allow me to make designations on behalf of specific causes for the support of Americans' long term sovereignty, and the sovereignty of the nation as a whole, from this umbrella Foundation.

I ask that any funds that have been wrongfully withdrawn and cannot be legally reclaimed be reimbursed to my account under the auspices of the Foundation at the earliest possible time.

Please ensure that my direct participation is required for designations of funds from the Foundation in every circumstance, unless I myself broaden that responsibility at a later time through notarized documentation which I would place on my blog and elsewhere for public review.  And please disallow impersonation of my identity through genetic manipulation, Wifi piracy, namesake or familial claims that are unknown to me and unconsented by me, and/or other unapproved assumptions of my identity.

At the appropriate time, please engage in direct outreach to me to ensure that I can be of the greatest support to the nation at this most critical point in the struggle for the human sovereignty of the American people, the territorial integrity of our national provenance over the United States and associated waters, and the future independence of our nation in its entirety.

Please accept all legal responsibility for the correct and complete filing of documents, paperwork, reporting, exact and comprehensive accounting, and follow up associated with the Foundation and the designations I have made and will make regarding the support for American sovereignty.

Thank you for your support in this most critical effort.

Most sincerely,

Lane MacWilliams, aka Carol Elaine Von Herzen

An Open Letter to President Trump

 President Trump, please cease and desist ordering my sons to lie about our family within false statements added to adjudication of my case pertaining to misconduct by the FBI.

Sir, such conduct, especially given the torture suffered by my sons and daughter-in-law at your authorization, will not excuse your attempts to misappropriate funds from the Foundation I have established for the preservation of United States sovereignty.

The freedom of the United States is not for sale, Sir.  Neither am I.

And your conduct toward my children cannot be excused in this instance.

The power of the Commander in Chief of the United States is considerable, but it can be withdrawn if the Congress loses faith in the ethical and moral compass by which our highest elected leader determines his choices for the nation. 

The wealth of the United States Treasury is not intended to serve as the personal bank of a President who seeks to privatize vast sums for his own sequestration of power and influence.

Rather, it is meant to serve the freedom of our people and the sovereignty of our nation as a whole.

Accordingly, I ask that you immediately relinquish your wrongful claim on funds that are not yours, Sir.

Further, I ask that you withdraw your wrongful orders to my sons and daughter-in-law, and instead allow them the freedom that is their birthright.

My sons were raised to tell the truth, not to find themselves enslaved to an allegedly corrupt leader whose sovereignty has itself may have been irretrievably compromised.  Let them tell it, Sir.

Mr. President, none of us can avoid a confrontation with the truth of our conduct when it reflects ongoing, intentional, and predatory harm with an intent to profiteer from the suffering of innocents.

An elected leader, despite a vaunted title, is no exception.

The people vest the Presidency with its power, and, sufficiently betrayed, the people can withdraw that gift.

Mr. President, free my sons and daughter-in-law by giving them immediate and honorable discharge from all government programs.

And relinquish your claim on all funds belonging to the Foundation and related accounts.

Thank you for your cooperation with this most important requirement.

Sincerely,

Lane MacWilliams
