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.

Formal Claim to Address Awards from August 24, 2026 Until the Current Time

 OIG Hotline, the following serves as my claim of awards involving knowingly falsified law enforcement reporting since my formal claim of August 24, 2026:


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 between my most recent claim on August 24, 2026 and the current 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

Formal Claims to Address Awards from August 15, 2026 Until the Current Time

 OIG Hotline, for reasons unknown to me, it seems that I am being prompted to claim awards involving knowingly falsified law enforcement reporting since my formal claim of last week.


Accordingly, please see the following:

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 between my most recent claim on Saturday, August 15, 2026 and the current 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.

Email to the Public Access Counselor of the Illinois Attorney General's Office

Sent to the Public Access Counselor of the Illinois Attorney General's Office on August 21, 2026 at 10:12 AM Central Time, with a copy sent to the OIG Hotline at 10:15 AM Central Time:



 Dear Public Access Counselor:


I received no communication from your Office pursuant to my August 9, 2026 Request for Review of an improper denial of my FOIA request of the Illinois Secretary of State Police.  Can you please assist me by conveying to me via return email whether followup correspondence was sent regarding this matter?  If so, might your Office provide me with a copy of that correspondence via return email?

Please be aware that U.S. Postal Service mail has been often obstructed regarding my search for records relating to this case, and is unlikely to be reliable if used as the only form of communication.

Redundant efforts to communicate appear to be the most effective, with email being desirable as a traceable means of follow up.

Having said that, I anticipate that files held by the Illinois Secretary of State Police are likely to be false and defamatory.  So with regard to communication of files from that Office, secure, sealed documentation sent to my address, 4200 Conestoga Drive, Suite 102, #212, Springfield, Illinois 62711, is requested, as previously described.

Please be informed that I do need to travel out of the state of Illinois briefly, though I am maintaining a physical residence within Illinois during that time period.  It is my hope and expectation that my FOIA request and Request for Review will remain in full force and effect in an ongoing way.

Thank you very much for your support regarding this matter.

Respectfully,

Lane MacWilliams
