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.

The Path to Overcome Obstacles to Americans' Long Term Sovereignty

1.  You are not making political donations since you designated funds for a foundation which will support the sovereignty of Americans and our nation as a whole.  Is that correct?

Answer:  Yes, it is.

2.  Have you been asked recently to change political parties?

Answer:  There are those who are asking me to register as an independent, because guiding the foundation will require impartiality.

However, I feel that my advocacy for Americans' voting rights, freedom of speech, freedom of the press insofar as possible, right to privacy, right to private property, and more apply to all Americans, not merely a few.

In other words, I don't invest my work with bias.  I have made a promise to advocate for the long term human rights of all Americans, and I take that commitment with the utmost seriousness.

3.  So, you are not inclined to change political parties at this time?

Answer:  I think my commitment to serve all Americans is foremost in guiding my decision-making.  So, I don't think superficial changes in my affiliations are necessary.  I have very dear friends from across the political spectrum, and I view the full breadth of Americans' views with the same respect and interest.

4.  How do you respond to the FBI's allegations that there is a renewed investigation into ActBlue in the context of your case?

Answer:  I have not donated through ActBlue in a long while.  So, I do not believe any investigative review of ActBlue has merit with regard to my case.

A better question is whether we want to support the FBI in directing the decision-making pertaining to political fundraising activities in the United States, and I think the answer there is a resounding no.

5.  Who is supporting your efforts at this time?

Answer:  I think there are many on both sides of the aisle who are supporting my decision to establish a foundation to defend American sovereignty.  This is not a partisan issue.  

We as a nation are faced with some astonishingly complex challenges at this moment in our history, and many of those difficulties are going to require innovative and adaptive problem solving on a higher level of human capabilities.

That means we need to be able to address our most serious risks with great wisdom, courage, creativity, adaptability, community-building, leadership, insight and engagement.

6.  Should the foundation facilitate that engagement?

Answer:  In every way.  Yes.

7.  Will efforts to obstruct the foundation be overcome?

Answer:  There is such recognition of the need for the foundation from all parts of the political spectrum, I believe any and all objections to the foundation will be surmounted, yes.

8.  Does the matter of the FBI's knowingly falsified law enforcement reporting need to be addressed by the foundation at some point?

Answer:  Falsified law enforcement reporting represents a threat to Americans' long term sovereignty, so, yes, this is going to be a critical issue for our shared future.

9.  You have mentioned adaptability several times recently.  How can Americans view adaptability in the context of their own individual lives in a way that might assist them in the near term?

Answer:  The U.S. Marine Corps guides its troops with the recommendation to "Improvise. Adapt. Overcome"

Changing circumstances are never met with perfect preparation, so we need to ensure that our perspective allows us to be ready for unexpected challenges.

This is a mindset that we will all benefit from.

10. What is at stake for us with regard to Americans' sovereignty?

Answer:  Every word that ever changed us, every song that ever moved us, every class that ever grew us, every thought that ever advanced us, every epiphany that ever enlightened us, every discovery that ever broadened us, every expression of faith that ever elevated us, every vote that ever empowered us, every gift that ever uplifted us, and every love for another person that helped us to transcend ourselves.

If we want to ensure that our self-determination remains our own individual and dignified right, then we need to defend our sovereignty with our greatest insistence.

10.  Will you be extending further thoughts about the challenges ahead?

Answer: As much as possible, yes.

11.  Thank you for speaking with us this afternoon.

Answer:  You are most welcome.

Lane MacWilliams

A Foundation for the Ages

 1.  What are the potential impediments to conserving funds awarded to you to date in a foundation as you have specified earlier today?

Answer:  The biggest impediment that I can perceive is that the FBI appears to be directing falsifications of my name change application at the Coconino County Superior Court.  When I checked on Wednesday of this week to ensure that all was in order, the Court Clerk, Diana Morales, discovered that my middle name and my first name at birth had been transposed.  So, instead of Carol Elaine, it was Elaine Carol.

2.  Would your name change application have been approved with that inserted error?

Answer:  No, it would not.  

And now the FBI alleges that intentional misspellings have been inserted into the application at agency directive.

3.  Can you see the application online?

Answer:  I can see that it exists, but I am not being allowed to access the file as it currently stands.  So, I cannot check for errors and omissions, a problem which I'm sure is intentional.  And, interestingly, the file comes up under the correct spelling and name on my birth certificate, so it is clear that errors are being inserted after the fact within the Court Clerk's Office at the directive of an outside authority.

4.  Are there other errors and omissions?

Answer:  It seems that my passport documentation is intentionally being withheld from the case information by the Court Clerks, despite my repeated requests that it be included.  But there could be an infinite number of other errors.  My mailing address could have been falsified .  My social security number could have been falsified.  On and on.

5.  What is the greatest risk with the FBI's corrupting your application in this manner?

Answer: The greatest risk is that the FBI will wrongfully claim that my application is fraudulent on the basis of uncorrected errors for which the FBI itself is entirely responsible.  A knowingly fraudulent filing with any court is no doubt a felony, which would allow the FBI to achieve its goal of misappropriating all awards in my name or associated with my identity.

6.  So the whole purpose of the FBI's falsifying your name change application is the misappropriation of financial awards extended to you because of the FBI's prior crimes against you?

Answer:  This would appear to be the case, yes.

7.  Who is responsible for this malfeasance?  Who is authorizing it?

Answer:  An authorization such as this would need to come from the Executive Branch.

8.  Yet, if this scheme were to be successfully perpetrated, this would amount to criminal malfeasance, would it not?  And it would, in and of itself, represent fraudulent FBI conduct, would it not?

Answer:  Yes, and yes.

9. Will you be able to thwart this plan of misconduct by the agency and its close affiliates?

Answer:  I would hope that this conversation would effectively thwart any such approach, yes.  Obviously, my application to legally change my name to my married name should be approved without delay, misrepresentation, or defamation of any kind.

I have communicated all information at my disposal to the Superior Court, and this documentation should be immediately incorporated and the file updated accordingly.

10.  How long should it take for the Coconino Superior Court to approve your name change?

Answer:  Four to ten working days, and we're already five working days into that schedule.

11.  Have you offered to speak to the presiding judge regarding your case?

Answer:  Yes, of course.

12.  So, the real problem is obstruction by the FBI, not any obstacles that are being independently introduced by Court personnel without FBI guidance.

Answer:  That is correct.

13.  What made you decide to dedicate all funds awarded to you to date, aside from those you have already designated to certain causes, to a foundation?

Answer:  You know, I was waiting and hoping for outreach of an honorable kind, which would have been best.  The crimes against my family and myself have been so egregious that I have very much wanted a formal acknowledgment of those wrongs, and, along with that, an extensive apology.

Finally, I realized that that necessary and overdue apology was never going to come.

And, I must say, I have been in a situation like this once before in my life -- where an apology was due to me right at the moment that extraordinary new demands were being made of me.  And then, as now, I realized that I was never going to hear the words I needed to hear.  And this, for those who are curious, related to an issue of alcoholism -- which is not an issue from which I have ever suffered, thankfully.

14.  How did you respond when you realized the apology would not be forthcoming?

Answer:  There was deep and indelible disappointment, I must say.  And it's important to allow yourself to acknowledge how difficult that territory is.  It's important to grieve the conversation that was not rendered possible.

Then, after that, you have to decide what you're going to do about it.

15.  May I ask you to be more specific?

Answer:  You need to ask yourself what is the greatest good that can possibly come from the situation and then you need to assess whether you are strong enough to manifest that greatest good.

16.  To what extent does the greatest good depend on the strength of one's character?

Answer:  One hundred percent.  If you have the highest character possible, you are capable of manifesting the greatest good.  You just have to comprehend that unassailable path forward.

17.  Is your choice to place funds awarded to you in this case to date a manifestation of that greatest good?

Answer:  Yes, because without the defense offered by a foundation's legal shield, the funds will be stolen fairly promptly.  And this much has become all too clear.  

The funds are intended for the preservation of Americans' sovereignty and the independence of the nation on which that sovereignty depends. If they are misappropriated by those who oppose human sovereignty, then we will have placed the American public in a terrible position going forward -- one in which their freedoms cannot be realistically defended because the vast wealth of a few individuals has rendered profiteers considerably more powerful than the United States itself.

The future of American sovereignty must be assiduously defended, and that's what the structure of a foundation will provide.

18.  Are you depending on the DOJ's OIG Hotline to establish this foundation at your request?

Answer:  Yes, I am.  And I hope it will be a foundation for the ages.

19.  And are you depending on them to ensure that all legal requirements of the foundation will be upheld in the future?

Answer:  Yes, I will need that legal due diligence through time.

20.  Are you hoping that outreach will follow this decision of the funds' allocation?

Answer:  I always believe that the greatest good can be achieved with optimal communication, so yes, of course, I hope for outreach.

21.  Will the OIG Hotline be able to move forward rapidly with this request on your behalf?

Answer:  I have every confidence that they will, yes.

22.  Will you please keep in close communication with us, given the current threats to your safety and that of your loved ones?

Answer:  Yes, of course.

23.  Thank you for speaking with us this evening.

Answer:  You are most welcome.

Lane MacWilliams

Formal Claim of All Awards Extended to Me

 To the OIG Hotline of the U.S. DOJ, this letter is to formally claim all awards that have been 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.

Due to apparent repeated attempts to misappropriate these funds, please place them in a 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 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 this blog and elsewhere for public review.  And please disallow impersonation of my identity through genetic manipulation or other unapproved assumptions of my identity.

Please engage in direct outreach to me to ensure that I can be of the greatest support to the nation at this most critical time 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 our nation in its entirety.

Thank you for your support in this most critical effort.

Most sincerely,

Lane MacWilliams

An Open Letter to President Trump


Dear Mr. President:

My sons and daughter-in-law are currently suffering because of the manner in which their handlers are causing them targeted and unrelenting harm, the specifics of which I have previously described.

In the interests of forward progress, please insist that these agency assaults cease immediately, Sir.  Certainly, Tom Lyons and Brandan Pesa have a central role to play in insisting on this cessation alongside you.

I do recognize that A. is placing pressure on our government with regard to his desire to misappropriate funds that have been awarded to me as the result of FBI malfeasance pertaining to my case.

Yet A. needs to wait.

Funds awarded to me must be returned to my account.  Their intent is the preservation of the sovereignty of the United States, not its irreversible undoing.

A., despite his remarkable abilities, is not God.

And this is clear to us all, because God does not take hostages as extortion for vast sums from the United States National Treasury.

If A. will answer to no one else, he will answer to me.

And I say, as the mother to two beloved sons, and to a cherished daughter-in-law, A. must now relent or face his exposure to the American public as a whole -- a step for which I daresay, he is not quite prepared.

President Trump, please assist me in holding the line on this requirement.

No nation can thrive when it takes its most promising and beloved youth hostage on behalf of an unjust external dictatorship.

Thank you for your support, Sir, regarding this most critical concern.

Sincerely yours,

Lane MacWilliams
