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.

American Sovereignty Under Threat: An Update from the Front Lines

1.  What is your current assessment of the conduct of the FBI toward your case?

Answer:  It's worsening, as far as I can ascertain.  The agency appears to be requiring that I sign power of attorney documents supporting an allegation of incapacity in order to sell one or both of my houses.  And this would be a fraudulent assertion, which is simply not going to occur.

Beyond this, they appear to be in complete control of Aura Apartments staff, who have previously profited by perpetrating housing harassment at FBI directive, including participating in signing knowingly false witness statements and allowing unauthorized access to my apartment, with all the attendant risks of the placement of false evidence and false reporting.

The governmental structures that should be preventing these abuses appear to be falling away.  So, our hold on the rule of law within the United States is weakening, and fairly rapidly.

2.  Ordinarily, would the DOJ be preventing these harms?

Answer:  Yes, the U.S. DOJ has the responsibility of setting limits on the FBI's conduct.  At the current time, that's not happening.

3.  Are you continuing to experience harassment within the hotels at which you are staying?

Answer:  Yes, the Dxx deployments are ongoing, alongside other harms.  And I must say, this is truly shameful conduct on the part of the government.  The United States has a responsibility to halt this nonsense with regard to Dxx deployments.  In the future, these will be regarded with horror as the egregious human rights abuses they represent.  And I think that everyone involved in their deployments will have their reputations tarnished permanently by those acts.

4.  Are they technically atrocities?

Answer:  They fall under the heading of torture, so they are atrocities, yes.

5.  What is their origin?  Where are these devices being manufactured?

Answer:  Russia is definitely directing their deployments in certain numbers within the United States, but we are manufacturing them through defense contractors within our own borders.  So, this is really a shameful chapter in American history, and I think it should be exposed as soon as possible.

6.  What are the chances that it can be addressed through investigative journalism?

Answer:  They're quite low, because of the fact that the FBI has liaisons at all the major newspapers.  As a result, any questions about U.S. conduct in this realm are easily suppressed.

7.  So, we've lost a free press.

Answer:  We have, and it's difficult to identify when that line was actually crossed.  But the press at this time is busy encouraging the public to focus on the wrong subjects and reporters are generally asking the wrong questions about current events.  We're just not seeing the competent investigative reporting that in the past held the government to a much higher standard of conduct.

8.  Is the press serving a propaganda function primarily?

Answer:  We're moving in that direction.  The FBI has whole divisions dedicated to propaganda, so we're going to see much more disinformation making its way onto the front page.

9.  What is the FBI's control of Congress at this point?

Answer:  From my perspective, it appears fairly complete.  The FBI appears to be controlling Congressional communications with the public, with a couple of notable exceptions.  Then we see Congressional initiatives that are ostensibly intended to protect public privacy rights that are being co-opted to disqualify votes, presumably with the full knowledge of Congress.  Meanwhile, there are assertions that there are "limits" of some kind on the disqualification of votes, which is a ludicrous idea.

Fundamentally, we're seeing the rise of a political class, which is closely controlled on the whole by security agencies and the military.

Bribery appears to be rampant and accountability at an all-time low.

10.  Is this the fall of the United States as a viable, sovereign nation?

Answer:  This is the pressing question, isn't it?  No one wants to see our nation fall from grace, which is to say, no one wants the United States to come to represent injustice, deceit, bribery, predation, defamation, misogyny, threats, profiteering, and gratuitous murder.

But we need to acknowledge that these are the FBI's priorities, and increasingly, these are becoming manifest in our daily lives.

11.  How can Tom Lyons be defeated in his lies about you?

Answer:  By your asking the question.  Truly.  Tom Lyons becomes very weak when we shine a bright light on his misconduct and his crimes.  So, we need to be doing that all the time.  We need to ask why Tom Lyons is so afraid of acknowledging what he has done to my family members and myself, why he would seek to place false evidence in my residences and on my properties, why he would initiate wrongful prosecutions of the innocent in this case, why he would seek wrongful convictions, why he would ask for unjustified death sentences regarding this case and more.

12.  Why would he have done all of these things?

Answer:  Malignant narcissists are continuously trying to project their own guilt onto the innocent.  So, in general, with people who demonstrate this psychopathology, we're going to see these egregious abuses of power in an escalating way.

13. Where does it lead?

Answer:  We need to understand our history with insight into totalitarianism and its intents in order to answer that question properly.

14.  What will happen to Tom Lyons?

Answer:  I can say with certainty that history will revile him.  But what will happen to him in the current time?

This case represents a contest between truth and lies, honor and dishonor, innocence and guilt, justice and injustice, and Tom Lyons and his associates are on the wrong side of all of these conflicts.

So, I think we need to continue to express our condemnation of his conduct, together with a demand that he meet my standards for apology, remorse, and compensation to the nation as a whole.

15.  Should Tom Lyons be enabled to profiteer from his lies about your family members and yourself?

Answer:  No.  All of those ill-gotten gains need to come back to the Foundation.  Tom Lyons himself should have lawsuits against him from here to the horizon, taking up all of his time in his own defense.  There is no limit to his civil liability regarding the wrongs he has perpetrated against me.  The man should be feeling it.  Daily.

16.  What are the odds that you are going to be provided with reports regarding the FBI's perpetration of knowingly falsified law enforcement reporting?

Answer:  Let's find out.

Is the FBI able to currently withhold all information about its crimes against me by saying that I am too dangerous to know that I am dangerous? (For the record, I'm not dangerous.)

Or is the FBI able to conceal all of its lies by asserting I am too insane to know that I'm insane?  (For the record, I'm not insane.)

We can readily see the tautological flaws in such reasoning.

I think the agency is both ashamed and fearful of exposure regarding the crimes it has committed regarding this case, and I think that sense of disgrace on the part of the FBI is entirely appropriate.

But let's be sure that the FBI is more than ashamed.  Let's be sure that we require it to abandon certain standard operating procedures that are destroying the sovereignty of the nation.

That can only happen if I am provided with reports in a meaningful way.

17.  You need to return to Arizona soon in order to close out an apartment there.  But what are the odds that Tom Lyons has directed that false evidence be placed within that apartment?

Answer:  They're not low.

18.  And what are the odds that any false evidence has been utilized in concealed adjudication within the state of Arizona or federal courts to bring charges against you about which you know nothing?

Answer:  Again, they're not low.

19.  When you return to Arizona, are you returning to a trap laid by Tom Lyons?

Answer:  While I don't know the answer to that question with certainty, I would expect that Tom Lyons has in fact tried to lie his way into setting a trap of this kind.  

We can see for example that the staff of Aura Apartments is behaving strangely in their communications to me, insisting that I return by a certain date, refusing to be reasonable in this discussion.  

And in general, the staff does not strike me as inflexible or unreasonable.

So, I would suspect that Tom Lyons has set some kind of trap, yes.

20.   What might that consist of?

Answer:  The FBI appears to allege that false evidence of some kind has been placed on my furniture, presumably to support wrongful prosecutions of which I know nothing.

21.  Could your life be placed at risk in Arizona as a result of Tom Lyons' lies in this regard?

Answer:  I think my life has already been placed at risk because of Tom Lyons' lies in this regard.  The night before last, I faced down an assassin in the parking lot of the Residence Inn in East Peoria, Illinois for half an hour.  This man had a court order telling him that it was perfectly legal for him to commit first-degree murder, and the FBI had the temerity to convey through my cell phone that he was in need of the payday to commence "a better life."

The entire situation was a shame and a disgrace.

22.  To what extent do the FBI's bribes exacerbate your circumstances?

Answer:  There is a direct association between the FBI's bribery and the risks to my life.  When the FBI pays people off, the agency knows that it cannot be held to account for its intended crimes.  So, immediately following a round of bribery, the FBI's aggression becomes much worse.

23.  Can Tom Lyons be charged criminally?

Answer:  He likely has immunity, and inappropriately so.  But he can be charged civilly, and this kind of prosecution regarding his wrongful conduct needs to be ongoing.

24.  What should be the result of those civil prosecutions?

Answer:  They should impoverish him at the very least.  He should be made an example of so that others within the FBI and among its affiliates will understand that gratuitous abuses of power will lead to individual downfall.

25.  What is your freedom to name Tom Lyons publicly?

Answer:  I don't have any secrecy agreements with the government.  And more than this, I am not obligated to serve as Tom Lyons' willing victim.  

I can take out billboards describing the crimes of Tom Lyons if I so choose, and I well may.

26.  Do you have any sympathy for Tom Lyons' plight, given that he is at risk of being caught for his predatory acts?

Answer:  You cannot have sympathy for psychopaths.  They will kill you over that mistake.

To be clear, I uphold the rule of law for everyone.  Tom Lyons should have the right to an attorney, as should I.  

But it's important to reserve our sympathy for those who have been victimized by the FBI's systems of knowingly falsified law enforcement reporting.

27.  What needs to happen next in order to re-establish your safety and security?

Answer:  Recently misappropriated funds need to be returned to the Foundation, and appeals and requests for injunctive relief need to be filed on my behalf.

And I don't want to be hearing "we lost" regarding anyone who purports to be representing me in court.  It's not possible to lose when you have a defendant as virtuous as I am.  If court initiatives are being lost regarding this case, there is money changing hands.  Let's be honest about that.

28.   Do people need to accept more responsibility for their conduct regarding this case?

Answer:  They do, without question.  There is a problem of "diffuse responsibility," in which a group of people all drop the ball because they assume that others in their sphere are more directly responsible for the outcome.  People need to begin to understand that every individual is 100% accountable for the outcome of this case.  Then, we will begin to see necessary progress.

If fifty adults are standing on the edge of a pool watching a child drown in the deep end, they are not legally required to intervene.  Some among them may be saying "I'm wearing my office clothes, whereas George is wearing a bathing suit.  George should do something." Or, "I know how to swim, but Louise has been a lifeguard previously.  Louise should do something." Or "I have enough money to retire at this point, so I really cannot get involved in other people's problems.  James is still striving in his community.  James should do something."

But the truth is that each of the fifty people standing on the side of the pool is 100% responsible for what happens to that child.

This case is that child, and the life of that child is the life of our nation's sovereignty.

So, people need to view their conduct differently, and start to give this effort the priority it requires.

29.  Will you please keep in close communication with us, given that Tom Lyons' defamation and false allegations against you appear to be ongoing?

Answer:  Of course I will.

30.  Thank you for speaking with us this morning.

Answer:  You are quite welcome.

Love or Money: Pick Only One

 1.  You were confronted by an apparent assassin in the parking lot of the Residence Inn in East Peoria, Illinois yesterday evening.  Would you care to comment on what that experience was like?

Answer:  You know, it was genuinely a half-hour showdown with a man who had a court order to back him up in his violent intent.  As one would expect, it was extremely upsetting and wrong.

2.  How could that circumstance possibly have occurred?

Answer:  Corruption across the board.  You don't lose court cases involving someone as virtuous as I am unless many, many people are taking a payoff.  This is the reality.

3.  Taking a payoff from your case?  

Answer:  Absolutely.  Tom Lyons' friends in organized crime allegedly work for long hours on a "profit-sharing list" of names that allegedly includes how everyone will divide the spoils after committing first-degree murder in this situation.

4.  So Tom Lyons has not retracted his lies about you in a court setting?

Answer:  Clearly not.

5.  You recently provided a financial statement to the OIG Hotline so that documentation could be provided to the IRS proving that you do not possess any conflict of interest regarding your case.  Is that correct?

Answer:  Yes, I did.

6.  Do you have anything to add to that statement for the IRS' consideration?

Answer:  Of course I would always provide any updates necessary at any point in time.

At this point, I would simply say that no one should be withdrawing funds from the Foundation I have specified for the preservation of American sovereignty, nor from accounts bearing my name or parallel cases regarding knowingly falsified law enforcement reporting.  If that has happened, people need to return the funds immediately.  I simply will not be tolerating that kind of malfeasance based on further lies and defamation from the FBI or anyone else.

7.  Would you support the indictment and prosecution of those accepting bribes connected to this case?

Answer:  People need to return the funds.  If they cannot find the conscience necessary to do so, they may find themselves prosecuted with the assistance of the very FBI who compromised them in the first place.  

8.  Isn't that entrapment?

Answer:  The FBI will be able to successfully convict anyone who is taking bribes to do the wrong thing regarding this matter.  And I assure you they have planned to do so.

9.  And your stance on this matter?

Answer:  You know, I have watched the FBI at work for nine years.  I know the agency's tactics quite well.  I always advise people to hold to the highest ethical standards in every situation, and especially when dealing with the FBI.  The agency is only too delighted to threaten indictment and arrest of those who do the wrong thing under duress.  It's unrealistic to think that that follow up will not be forthcoming.

People need to return misappropriated funds at this time, and they need to go back to court and correct the records.

10.  Without this, you will be facing further wrongful assaults on your safety and security.  Is that fair to say?

Answer:  Yes.  The result of our leaders' lying for pay is that good people are wrongfully attacked.  They need to understand that that is the outcome of their compromise and they need to accept their full culpability in plans of first-degree murder for profit, to the great detriment of the nation as a whole.

11.  You will not be tolerating wrongful convictions and misappropriations regarding your case?

Answer:  No, I will not.  I will have a full accounting of the awards in this case, and that full accounting had better match my knowledge of the amounts involved.

Without this full accounting, American sovereignty is rendered forfeit.

So the stakes could not be higher or more consequential.

12.  If you do not receive the appropriate follow up regarding a withdrawal of this malfeasance at this time, what will you do?

Answer:  I will be making changes that I will not be announcing ahead of time.  Lawful, peaceable, and far-reaching changes.

13.  What are your thoughts about having been wrongfully confronted by an assassin last night, in light of the larger concerns involved in this case?

Answer:  I have a few observations that I think are meaningful in a larger context.

First, these men have received extensive defamation about me.  They have viewed AI-generated film and listened to AI-generated audio provided by the FBI, sufficient to convince them, apparently, that their task is justified.  They are filled with hatred, latent violence, and avarice for the payoff.

Second.  They have killed before, and many times, and always at the behest of a three-letter agency, at a terrible cost to their own spiritual status, which is forever sacrificed.

Third, they themselves would be killed if they ever spoke the truth about the manner in which the government has tasked them.  They truly represent an "underworld" of agency affiliates, a desperate, wrongful, hateful, and dishonest denizen of those transacting for first-degree murder of the innocent.

Fourth, some mistaken judge somewhere has signed an order saying "Go ahead."

Fifth, the mere presence of these men represents a grievous offense to someone like me, whose sphere should never be invaded by this type of individual.  Never once.

14.  Was harm caused to your hotel room while this assailant was confronting you in the parking lot?

Answer:  Yes, there was major damage perpetrated to the refrigerator door in my suite, and there were no doubt other environmental harms across the board.  Later, the hotel staff are typically paid by the FBI to file a claim of damages to the room, about which I am never informed, thus allowing an appalling form of graft and corruption in an ongoing way.

15. How many of your hotel rooms have had damaged refrigerator doors?

Answer:  Almost all of them.  It looks as though someone has taken a hammer to the finish.  It's clearly vandalism, not normal wear and tear.

Last night, I happened to be on the phone with my husband the first time I was entering the room, so I actually have proof that the damage was present before my arrival.  

But the FBI perpetrates this kind of vandalism wherever I go.

16.  Are your reports now due to you under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act?

Answer:  Yes, they are.  In their entirety.  No omissions.  No redactions.

17.  Will you be insisting on the provision of those reports?

Answer:  Yes, I will.

18.  Will that provision need to meet your standards for ethics, integrity and completeness?

Answer:  Yes, it will.

19.  What would you say to those who have taken your commitment to American sovereignty for granted?

Answer:  Return the money you misappropriated, and go back to court to set the record straight.

If people wish to communicate after that, they can do so lawfully through an independent intermediary.

For the formal record, an assassin is not an independent intermediary.

20.  Do you feel that the FBI's conduct in this matter continues to represent a shame and a disgrace?

Answer:  Obviously, it does.  The agency will not be viewed kindly by history, nor by Americans who come to learn of the gratuitous harm the agency has sought to cause.

21.  In some senses, the FBI believes the whole country can be corrupted on the basis of bribery, doesn't it?

Answer:  Absolutely, the FBI has this fundamental belief.  

My point is that you can either choose the love of your neighbor, your community, your state and your nation -- or you can choose money.  Pick one, because you cannot have both.

21.  Will you please keep in close communication with us given these circumstances?

Answer:  I will.

22.  Thank you for speaking with us this afternoon.

Answer:  You are most welcome.

Freedom's Foundation: Why United States Capital Must Be Invested in National Sovereignty

 OIG Hotline, as I have stated previously, any diversion of funds from awards extended under the heading of my case or related cases of knowingly falsified law enforcement reporting may be sequestered by the enemies of American sovereignty, by which I mean Vladimir Putin and his affiliates, Xi Xinping and his affiliates, and others previously referenced.

My case cannot be subverted to serve the objective of freedom's failure, when its true intent is the preservation of American sovereignty.

The Foundation I have specified for the long term preservation of the sovereignty of Americans has the potential to transform the future of American potential, to reclaim our ability to serve as leaders on the global stage regarding environmental concerns that are necessary for our ongoing self-determination, to protect and steward our sovereign territorial integrity, to ensure that our nation commits to speaking the truth about our honorable neighbors, and more.

If we value our ability to choose our own educational pursuits, to determine our own friendships, to guide our own careers, to marry whom we wish, to vote with confidence that our vote matters, to travel in safety, to serve our own communities, to engage with the future of our own nation, and to steward the health of the environment on which we all depend, then we should prioritize the Foundation which will insist that Americans retain these inalienable rights.

Any attempt to sequester funds from my case, or from other cases of knowingly falsified law enforcement reporting, cannot be allowed to prevail in light of all that is at stake for the future of American freedom.

Please assist me in asking that the Honorable Justices of the Supreme Court stand with me in the insistence that American sovereignty be preserved through the protection of the Foundation and awards extended in recognition of the scourge of knowingly falsified law enforcement reporting.

While many argue that a global oligarchy already controls much of worldwide development, we don't want to relinquish America's clear potential by diverting our own capital resources to the adversaries of a thriving United States.

The disposition of American capital matters in this contest, and it matters very greatly.

While our freedoms, our self-determination, our trusted communities, our professional labors, our irreplaceable bonds to one another, and the environment on which we rely all represent invaluable gifts, they can only be safeguarded when we invest in their preservation, their development, and their future.

Thank you for allowing me to express these ongoing concerns on behalf of Americans as a whole.

Most sincerely,

Lane MacWilliams

Abraham Lincoln's Territory

 1.  What threats are you facing currently within your hotel room at Day's Inn in Lincoln, Illinois?

Answer:  There appears to be an allegation of room entry during our absence this evening while my dogs and I were out purchasing dinner, with a specific suggestion of a sxxxxx vector deployed in the room during that time period.

2.  Can sxxxxx vectors be deadly to the victims?

Answer:  Quite so.  They can convey any number of diseases, and, in the case of a zoonotic illness, my dogs could become ill a short time prior to any signs in myself.

3.  Who is actually responsible for sxxxxx vector deployments?  The FBI?  Robert F. Kennedy?  The President?  Who is authorizing these deployments?

Answer:  You know, once again, these are Executive directives, so, in general, staff members feel that they are compelled to comply.

4.  Has the vector affected one or both of your dogs as of yet?

Answer:  I think they're still alright as of this moment.  But their continued health and my own will depend upon the cancellation of all plans to deploy any sxxxxx vector within my hotel room or elsewhere.

5.  Did you consider moving hotel rooms?

Answer:  I'm already in a different hotel room every night.  What needs to change now is the impunity with which the FBI is stalking, harassing, and harming a profound advocate for American sovereignty.  

6.  What would the symptoms be if you were affected by this deployment?

Answer:  Generalized arthritis, rapid aging, tick-borne diseases, mosquito-borne diseases, heart attack, aortic dissection, HIV, hepatitis B or C, stroke, dementia, aneurysm, anemia, kidney disease, liver disease -- this list goes on.

7.  So any decline in your health whatsoever would likely be connected to this wrongful deployment.

Answer:  Yes, it would.

8.  How did the FBI gain access to your hotel room in the first place, if I might ask?  This is Day's Inn, which is a Wyndham hotel.  Did they hand over the key to your room?  

Answer:  Allegedly, they did, yes.  The FBI comes along and calls the situation a "national security matter."  Then they appropriate a hotel room key.

9.  Did you have any signs that this trespass could occur?

Answer:  When I left in search of dinner, a police department vehicle was parked at the entrance to the street, as if waiting for my departure.  And previously, in the parking lot, there had been two spotters, so this was a concerning red flag as well.

10.  What are spotters?

Answer:  Surveillance personnel, normally on their phones or with a headset, actively reporting on your location and activities.  

11.  Do they stand out?

Answer:  Immediately.  These are people who are very busy doing nothing and going nowhere.

12.  Is all of this intended to prevent you from obtaining reports that you have requested from the state of Illinois?

Answer:  Apparently so, yes.

13.  And those are due imminently?

Answer:  Yes.

14.  May I ask your perspective on allegations that there is a new attempt to wrongfully challenge your California residency, and, correspondingly, your right to vote in the June 2, 2026 election?

Answer:  I have been prevented from returning to California due to the allegation that there is a wrongful "death squad sentence" against me, allegedly due to Txx Lxxxx' crimes against my family involving my properties.  I should not have to die to prove that I am a California resident.

15.  Is there an intention to sell your home in California?

Answer:  The home is not on the market, and I don't think Txx Lxxxx has any intention of allowing the home to be placed on the market.  The fact that my husband would like to sell the home seems entirely immaterial.  My husband's hxxxxxr appears to have done everything possible to obstruct my husband's moving forward in selling the home.  The agency cannot have it both ways.  If the FBI cannot stand up to the public scrutiny of whatever Txx Lxxxx did regarding my properties, the agency should confess that much.  But when the FBI drives a human rights advocate from her home through harassment and predatory abuse, the agency has no right to claim that she willingly left her address.

I was born in California, my primary residence is in California, my sons were born in California, my family's primary residences are in California, and I would be in California right now if the FBI had allowed me to travel back to my home state in a safe and timely way.

Further, I had a short term rental in Arizona that would also be closed out if it were not for the FBI's predatory conduct.

So, again, we have an agency which is obstructing the free and safe movement of a human rights advocate within the United States while simultaneously accusing her of failing to demonstrate a return to her home state through free and safe movement.

16.  If the agency had allowed you to sell your homes, would you have been able to search for another place to live within California?

Answer:  Obviously, if the FBI had allowed one or both of my homes to be sold, then I would be able to search for another home in California.  Without this, the agency has deprived me of all of my property rights, and then proceeded to complain that I am dispossessed.

Despite all of the agency's criminal conduct against my family, my legal address is still in Portola Valley, where I own my primary residence together with my husband.  I have no other permanent home whatsoever.

And if the agency burned my house to the ground, my current and legal home would still be in California.

17.  You have been traveling for a few months in an attempt to obtain information regarding your case through requests to State Atttorneys General.  Is that correct?

Answer:  Yes, it is.

18.  Do you feel that you may now be close to obtaining material relating to your case?

Answer:  I hope that I am, because that progress would allow me to reclaim my safety in a much more substantive and lasting way.

Obviously, when the FBI is breaking into my hotel room in order to carry out a "sentence" related to its own crimes, utterly unknown to me, things have reached a dystopian stage.

19.  The FBI has asserted that FOIA material related to property may be withheld in the state of Illinois.

Answer:  That provision is not intended to support knowingly falsified law enforcement reporting.  It is intended to relieve the Attorney General's Office from the burden of releasing information on property tax, which should be requested from the County assessor.  In this case, I am asking for any and all information relating to the FBI's allegations about me.  So, if the FBI says that I committed any crimes connected to my property(ies), then that information is still due to me under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act.

20.  So, in this case, the FBI appears to have driven you from your home due to false reporting, prevented you from selling your home due to false reporting, prevented you from returning to your home due to false reporting, prevented you from buying a replacement home in your home state due to false reporting, and now, through false reporting, is claiming that you have no home as a basis on which to cast a lawful ballot.

Answer:  That is correct.

21.  How would you describe the burden that the FBI has placed on you and your family members through this process?

Answer:  It has been intended to be overwhelming, certainly.

22.  How have you coped with that harassment?

Answer:  On one level, it has been necessary to separate myself from all Earthly belongings.  The FBI seeks to ruin everything: houses, cars, boats, proprietary work, intellectual property, and more.  So, I have tried to demand material recognition on behalf of the nation and to make contributions on behalf of the nation.  It serves as a great pleasure to me to be able to assist the country as a whole, in clear defiance of the FBI's attempts to defame, discredit, disrupt, and divide our country.

That doesn't mean that the agency gets to claim I'm not a California resident.

It means that I'm going to contribute as much as I can to the nation no matter what form the lies are taking at any given moment.

23.  Do you feel there are other leaders who feel as strongly as you do regarding the FBI's conduct in this case?

Answer:  I do.  Anyone who has hopes for the nation's freedom is going to have strong feelings about the FBI's conduct when it comes to knowingly falsified law enforcement reporting.

24.  And how are we to view the agency's attempts to disqualify Americans' votes based on knowingly false accusations?

Answer:  This is an attempt to erase part of the American electorate from the voting rolls, and we need to carefully consider all the implications of that erasure.  Most immediately, they represent totalitarian overthrow of representative government.

When the government tells any American voter "You don't count.  Your beliefs don't count.  Your hopes don't count.  Your future doesn't count.  Your vote doesn't count," then we have reached an inflection point regarding our form of governance.

25. Can we as Americans insist that we count?

Answer: 1776 was all about that insistence. The Emancipation Proclamation was all about that insistence.  Women's suffrage was all about that insistence.  The Civil Rights Movement was all about that insistence.

So, yes, we the American people are capable of insisting that we count.

And I say that while standing in Abraham Lincoln's territory.

26.  Will you please keep us updated with regard to your wellbeing at this critical time?

Answer:  Yes, I will.

27.  Thank you for speaking with us this morning.

Answer:  You are most welcome.

Truman Upheld

 1.  You are being threatened with a car bombing, shooting, drone assault, staged car accident, harm to your family members, and more if you insist on full disclosure to you within reports now due to you through the Illinois Freedom of Information Act.  Is that correct?

Answer:  I have received these apparent threats, yes.

2.  Who would possibly have approved of harms like these?  Don't these threats fall under the heading of extortion?

Answer:  You know, the threats certainly have a military component, given the repeated mention of drone assault.  So I would consider the possibility that Pete Hegseth is offering "alternatives" in this circumstance.

The problem here is that concealed misappropriations may well be sequestered by the enemies of United States' sovereignty, such as Vladimir Putin, Xi Xinping, and others.  And we need to assume that they will be if these misappropriated funds are not returned.  

We don't want this case, which is intended to ensure Americans' sovereignty, to result in the foreclosure of their freedoms.  

So, we need to ask that full disclosure be included in the reports, and we need to guarantee that this occurs.

3.  That means that tremendous pressure is being exerted on a handful of people at this time, you and your family foremost among them, doesn't it?

Answer:  It does, and I would also include key investigative personnel in the OIG Hotline, central accounting personnel, and others who know what the judgments have been over the course of this case.  I'm not suggesting that all information is public information, but I am suggesting that, given my advocacy for the sovereignty of the nation as a whole, the disclosures to me should be complete, without redactions or omissions.

4.  What about the suggestion that Pete Hegseth could order inappropriate aggression against you or your family and then simply lose his job at a later time?

Answer:  It's a substantive risk, this kind of planned disavowal of responsibility.  With ongoing turnover in the cabinet, those risks rise, certainly.  

I think the best defense against that stratagem is to talk about it, as we're doing now.

5.  Where does the ultimate responsibility rest with regard to planned aggression against an American human rights advocate?

Answer:  Truman said it best with "The buck stops here."  This is an Executive Branch responsibility.

6.  Is President Trump now responsible for your health and safety, along with the health and safety of your loved ones?

Answer:  Absolutely.  This timing is critical, because of the fact that reports are now due to me. So, we all should be hale and hearty, including our pets, while that provision of information is extended to me in its entirety.

7.  What about threats that a bomb has been placed in your vehicle?  Don't those concerns inhibit your freedom to travel?

Answer:  I'll be checking out of my hotel at 11:00 AM.  That means that anyone involved in this alleged aggression has one hour to remove any and all harmful devices before I drive away.  Fifty-five minutes, to be precise.

8.  You are insisting on the American people's right to sovereignty in the long term by requiring the provision of reports in their entirety?

Answer:  Yes, I am.

A tremendous number of our freedoms depend on this kind of benevolent but unyielding insistence.

This is the time for us to express it.

9.  Will you please keep in close contact with us, given these circumstances?

Answer:  Of course, yes.

10.  Thank you for speaking with us this morning.

Answer:  You are most welcome.

Formal Claim of All Awards Pertaining to Knowingly Falsified Law Enforcement Reporting

 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 and its affiliates at this time.

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 and its affiliates, if the Supreme Court 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 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
