Lane von Herzen: Twenty More Questions for FBI Director Christopher Wray

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.

Twenty More Questions for FBI Director Christopher Wray

1. When my stalker, who is a leading member of the far right, says that the FBI and its contractors intend to harm me “the first time” I venture outside my home, is he talking about an assassination attempt perpetrated by federal law enforcement and its affiliates?

2. Is this how the FBI’s “disposition matrix” works? Whistleblowers, journalists, Democrats, anyone seen to be opposing the agenda of the far right in general and the FBI in particular is treated as an enemy the agency seeks to “neutrailize”?

3. Why does the FBI work so hard to falsely portray whistleblowers of FBI corruption as criminals engaged in serious crimes such as “espionage” and “terrorism”?

4. Are these false accusations the surest way the agency has of violating the civil rights of law-abiding American citizens under color of law?

5. How long has the FBI been violating the human rights of law-abiding American citizens by slandering and defaming them under the false pretext of “national security”?

6. To what extent does the FBI utilize Infragard partnerships with both public and private entities (Amazon, Google, Apple, PG&E, AT&T) to collaborate on the harassment and harm of “targets of interest” for far right political objectives?

7. Why did the FBI coerce the recent actions of PG&E and AT&T representatives relating to my family’s PG&E account?

8. Did the FBI direct AT&T Splicing Technician Edward V. to come to my home on Wednesday, June 8, 2022 without an appointment with the express goal of coercing his falsified reporting of our conversation?

9. When AT&T Splicing Technician Edward V. told me that I should be cognizant of the risk of four or five men with violent intent gaining access to my home by entering my garage, was that a specific threat he had been told by the FBI to convey to me in person?

10 How long has the FBI been violating the human rights of law-abiding American citizens by assailing them with HAARP and DEWs when they fail to comply with the agency’s totalitarian demands for “compliance”?

11 When former President Donald Trump considered replacing you as FBI Director with William Evanina, Attorney General Barr threatened to resign. Is that because Attorney General Barr understood that Evanina, with his history in FBI counterintelligence, would immediately transform the United States into a functional dictatorship, without the knowledge or consent of the American people?

12 In the past, have you coerced FBI employees into signing a “vote of confidence” which supported your continued leadership of the agency? Have you let it be known that FBI personnel would suffer “repercussions” if they failed to voice their support for you?

13 Does real leadership need to coerce employee support in this manner?

14 Has the FBI been involved in exacerbating a “border crisis” for the United States? Was the agency involved, along with other agencies, in the destabilization of Haiti and the transport of large numbers of Haitian immigrants to the southern U.S. border that ensued?

15 Were these crimes committed with the express intent of manufacturing a political crisis for the Biden administration?

16 What is the extent of internal FBI discussions regarding the manipulation of inflationary pressures within the United States and worldwide?

17 Is the FBI engaged in instructing its business “partners” through Infragard to artificially manipulate consumer pricing? Are these acts being undertaken with the express intent of manufacturing an economic crisis for political objectives?

18 Is it true that you, in your role as Director of the FBI, oppose President Biden because he represents moderate, sustainable, judicious leadership for the United States, when the FBI benefits from polarization in politics and a sharply divided electorate?

19 Have both the New York Times and the Washington Post have, at various times, been persuaded by the FBI to sideline articles relating to malfeasance on the part of the FBI, the NSA, the DHS, and others? For how long has the FBI cultivated strict control of the major news outlets by invoking “national security concerns”?

20. Is it true that there are many virtuous men and women within the FBI who oppose this agency’s violations of the Constitution, and, along with President Biden, are striving to protect our democracy from the overthrow of the people’s sovereignty that you are attempting to perpetrate through wide-scale falsified law enforcement reporting?
