Privacy Rights and Confidentiality Rights

A Clarification of My Privacy Rights

August 3, 2022

To the Office of the Inspector General Hotline, U.S. DOJ and the Honorable Avril Haines, ODNI:

This is to clarify my retention of my privacy rights and confidentiality rights.

1.  No one has the right to distribute fake or defamatory material concerning me, no matter its origin, to anyone other than OIG Hotline investigators.

2.  No one has the right to distribute private and confidential material concerning me, no matter its origin, to anyone other than OIG Hotline investigators.

I maintain all rights to my voice, my image and/or likeness, my name, my medical records, and my reputation.  

Those who have defamed me through the dissemination of such records are separately and wholly liable to me under the law.

The collection and dissemination of falsified information regarding me by FBI employees and affiliates, as well as my private information by FBI employees and affiliates, stands in clear and ongoing violation of my constitutional rights.

I have granted certain access to the OIG Hotline to collect, not disseminate, information from my medical providers and legal advocates to assist in this Office's investigation of falsified law enforcement reporting for anti-democratic objectives.  And I have granted permission to certain physicians and attorneys to share information with OIG Hotline investigators only.  These select permissions stand in full force and effect.

I hope this is clear for those within the FBI, DOJ, or ODNI who are confused regarding these points.

Please convey to all concerned that violations of my privacy rights will be prosecuted fully.

A July 31, 2022 document entitled "Privacy Rights and Confidentiality Rights," is replaced by this document and rendered null and void by it.

Thank you very much for your support in this matter,

When Fire Departments Are Signatory to Infragard and An FBI Whistleblower Is Facing Threats of Arson

.

ADDENDUM:  This post has been updated as of August 2, 2022.  The following documentation has been forwarded to the OIG Hotline of the U.S. DOJ.

I am informed that Woodside Fire Protection District Captain Sean Devlin and the Fire Marshal are in ongoing communication with the FBI/Infragard concerning their participation in an arson crime at 45 Vista Verde Way. 

Apparently, there is an intent to set fire to our field, to have a fire department “response,” and to insist on a “medical evaluation” for me at a hospital. The resultant ambulance ride, according to my stalker, is planned to involve a morphine overdose. 

This threat is alleged to be in retaliation for my standing as a whistleblower of corruption of the Nationwide Suspicious Activity Reporting Initiative and the FBI’s affiliated “target of interest” program.

I hereby certify that the foregoing is true and correct. 

Lane MacWilliams 

The first two of the letters below were sent to Captain Sean Devlin of the Woodside Fire Protection District on July 8, 2022 and July 11, 2022, following Captain Devlin's unexpected visit to my front door, alongside three of his Fire District colleagues.

The second two letters were sent to Fire Chief Timothy Smith, Scott Thrasher and Chad Absten of the Falmouth, MA Fire Department on July 20 2022 and July 25, 2022.

I will transcribe the text of these emails, for ease of reading, tomorrow.

For now, hopefully, this record will allow my family to sleep safely in our beds despite the myriad arson threats of which I am in receipt this evening.

Sean, thank you very much for stopping by the house today, together with your colleagues from the Woodside Fire Protection District.

As I mentioned, I have received threats from FBI affiliates for several years. But, as I have gotten closer to the fulfillment of my Freedom of Information Act request from the FBI -- which I am told reveals corruption of the Nationwide Suspicious Activity Reporting Initiative and the FBI's related "target of interest" program, the threats have escalated.

Obviously, we wish to do all we can to avoid a fire on our property.

That said, I was informed this afternoon that the Woodside Fire Protection District is signatory to Infragard, and, beyond this, that you yourself have an arrangement allowing you to accept individual compensation from Infragard.  I was further informed that the Fire Marshall has a remunerative relationship with Infragard, which is of additional concern to us.  These relationships present clear conflicts of interest given my role as an FBI whistleblower.

Please be apprised that any false denial of dialogue with the FBI and/or Infragard concerning this matter opens up the County, as well as County employees, to criminal and civil liability.  The FBI handlers, clearly, are implicated in this matter as well. 

It's worth noting that FBI personnel will advise you to destroy all evidence of your communications with the agency, but you should preserve these records for your own documentation.  

As I explained to you today, the NSARI and affiliated programs are worth billions in congressional budget appropriations every year, and the FBI  is keenly interested in having those dollar flows continue.

The problem is that these programs are extensively corrupted by falsified law enforcement reporting for anti-democratic objectives.  This issue is currently under investigation by the Office of the Inspector General Hotline of the U.S. Department of Justice.  And the White House is involved as well -- and all praise to President Biden, as well as the heroes within the DOJ on that front.

Obviously, this matter carries with it extremely serious implications  for the future of our democracy.

Sean, the FBI appears to have been involved in some fairly elaborate schemes to keep their programs involving falsified law enforcement reporting intact.  These men are practiced in their techniques and they do not want to be held accountable for their crimes.  Given this reality, we cannot have anyone on the property who is signatory to Infragard at this time.

It's a question of our family's safety and the safety of our property, and I'm sure you can appreciate these very real concerns.

Perhaps my husband and I can find an independent fire safety expert with no ties to predatory federal law enforcement.  This might be our best option in view of the current conflicts of interest.

Thank you for your understanding.

Sincerely,

Lane MacWilliams

Sean, your silence in response to my email of July 9, 2022 confirms for me the likelihood that the Woodside Fire Protection District and the Fire Marshal, and you yourself are signatory to Infragard, as has been alleged to me.

Given the extensive arson threats I have received from FBI affiliates, I find these relationships with the FBI and Infragard to be deeply concerning.

Should there be any fire at my home or on my property, the Woodside Fire Protection District and its personnel would come under immediate scrutiny from investigators at the federal level, and it's important that you understand this.

All of us should be supporting an outcome in which fire is prevented, and lives and property are protected.

I would appreciate your ongoing cooperation in these aims.

Sean, our democracy is important -- not only in the preservation of our own civil liberties and human rights, but also in defense of the rights of others.

Your honesty and integrity on an individual level matter in that defense.

I encourage you and your department to hold to your highest principles, even, and especially, when others may be attempting to separate you from that fortitude.

The truth is that our whole community depends on your ability to turn down offers of personal rewards in favor of our protection.

Those within the FBI who are highly skilled in the preparation and dissemination of disinformation would have you believe that there are "bad Americans" whom you should prey upon through their "target of interest' program.  Fake film, fake photos, edited and misattributed audio, fake messaging, false claims about DNA evidence -- all of these tools are deployed by the FBI in their foray into totalitarian territory.  Deceit is the centerpiece of their efforts.

Yet, these attempts are morally, ethically and legally wrong, and they betray the very fundamentals of our democracy, which insist that we defend the rights of other Americans just as courageously as we defend our own.

Sean, stand strong.  You're important to our country not because of your bank account.  You're important to our country because of your strength of character.  Sometimes that heroism is celebrated, and sometimes it is silent.

But I have to believe it's still there.

Sincerely yours,

Lane MacWilliams

Gentlemen, I appreciate your allowing me to introduce myself via email. I may have emailed you once last year with regard to arson threats I was receiving at that time, but I feel it is important for me to renew our written dialogue on a current basis.

I stand as an FBI whistleblower regarding corruption of the Nationwide Suspicious Activity Reporting Initiative and the FBI's affiliated "target of interest" program.  These are major federal programs which, you may be aware, draw billions of dollars in congressional budget appropriations each and every year.  Unfortunately for all of us, it appears that the FBI has based these programs on rather extensive falsified law enforcement reporting against law-abiding American citizens.  These crimes appear to be widespread enough that they are currently being investigated an an "insider threat" to our democracy within the U.S. Department of Justice and the ODNI.

As I have approached a critical fulfillment of a Freedom of Information Act request which will demonstrate this falsified law enforcement reporting, the threats extended to my family members and myself have escalated.  Among them are extensive threats of both arson and water damage at our family home, where I grew up, in Woods Hole, at 40 Gansett Rd.

There is strong suspicion that FBI affiliates gained recent entry to our home, and I do not currently have information about their actions while in the interior of the house.

Because a major lever of corruption for the FBI is located within payments tendered by Infragard, I wonder if you can tell me whether the Falmouth Fire Department is signatory to Infragard.

Beyond this, have any FBI affiliates and/or employees engaged in communication with Falmouth Fire Department concerning our property?

This is important information for federal investigators with oversight over FBI conduct.

Please be aware that your truthfulness and full disclosure are important.  Any false denial would open up the Department to unwanted liability.

Here in California, we were alarmed to recently discover that the Chief of our local fire district, in addition to the Fire Marshal, had accepted pay as individual Infragard "informants" in return for "cooperation" concerning their actions -- and the actions of their employees -- toward our property.

Obviously, everyone should be attempting to protect life and property at this time.

My needs are no less urgent in this regard than others', and in truth, they are substantively more pressing.

So, with that in mind, I would appreciate your answering the query above.

Thank you very much for your support for our safety and that of our property,

Lane MacWilliams

OIG Hotline: Please Ensure That FBI Informants Attorney Tom Still and Dr. Ben Erickson Uphold the Spirit and Letter of the Law in Maintaining Confidentiality

 OIG Hotline, I am informed that the FBI has intended to allege that Dr. Ben Erickson never received my updated permission letter from Attorney Tom Still -- this, with the intention of disseminating defamatory material through a contact within ODNI.  

Please assist in conveying this threat to the Honorable Avril Haines.  I believe that, in their understanding of their liability, these men can be persuaded to follow an ethical and lawful course.

Tom, with all due respect, I am informed that you have engaged in recent online communications with Dr. Ben Erickson regarding the subject of these permissions, as well as with your FBI handler.

Given these events, I heartily suggest that you forward to Dr. Ben Erickson the replacement documentation I have shared with you.

In the event that a null and void permission is misused to disseminate defamatory information concerning me in the future, both you and your FBI handler, as well as Dr. Ben Erickson and his FBI handler, bear whole and separate liability to me.

Consider this your formal notification that, in the event of such a crime being perpetrated, I will hold you to account, and I will ensure that the California Bar is notified of your deceitful actions as well.

Tom, character and integrity are rather central when it comes to the matter of the FBI's utilization of falsified law enforcement reporting in the corruption of the Nationwide Suspicious Activity Reporting Initiative and the FBI's affiliated "target of interest" program.  It is extremely telling to evaluate an attorney's actions in the context of serving as an FBI informant, as you have done in this matter.  How should society respond when an individual who has committed his life to upholding the law choose to violate the rights of another while being compensated by Infragard?  There are some within the U.S. Department of Justice who are attempting to answer this question, a development for which we should all be grateful.  This communication will be copied to those investigators, you should be aware.

I will observe that Attorney Jennifer Still seems to me to be an individual who has conducted herself in a manner that upholds the ethical standards of her profession, and I have appreciated that choice.

Sincerely,

Lane MacWilliams

Dear Attorney Pryor:

Due to an issue which has arisen in Attorney Tom Still's communication with a physician regarding updated permissions, I felt it was incumbent upon me to bring his conduct to the attention of investigators within the DOJ.

Under the circumstances, it would be a good idea for you to verify to me via return email that you have conveyed updated permissions to both Dr. Ando and Dr. Nevitt at this time.

The FBI appears to be extremely anxious regarding exposure of its malfeasance in engaging in falsified law enforcement reporting within the Nationwide Suspicious Activity Reporting Initiative and the affiliated "target of interest" program.  As a result, the agency is seeking ways to discredit me as a whistlblower.

Obviously, there is liability in the efforts of FBI handlers and informants who accede to such unlawful schemes.  It would be best for everyone if honesty and integrity were maintained through open, transparent, and prompt communication regarding this issue.

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter,

Safety Concern -- Neighbor xxx xxxxxx; PG&E

 July 28, 2022

To the Office of the Inspector General Hotline, U.S. DOJ:

I regret that I seem to be calling on your heroic selves for rescue quite regularly.

It would seem that the FBI and its affiliates are determinedly unhappy with my whistleblower role in pointing out corruption of the Nationwide Suspicious Activity Reporting Initiative and the FBI's affiliated "target of interest" program through falsified law enforcement reporting.

It appears that there are two sources of extremely high RF radiation emissions that are effectively bombarding our residence at night.

The first source is that of the unusual PG&E "transformer box" that is dangling from our power pole, as previously described.  PG&E's "EMF Department" never contacted me, as Customer Service promised they would -- so I'm left to assume the exposures are intentional.  I am under the impression that PG&E's role as signatory to Infragard may have direct significance vis a vis the activities of the "EMF Department."

If it is possible for the OIG Hotline to argue for an immediate mitigation of these PG&E-caused exposures, I would be most grateful.

Having said that, the highest levels of RF radiation are currently being emitted from our neighbor xxx xxxxxx's property at xx Vista Verde Way, Portola Valley, CA. 94028.  They are elevated during the day, but they are off-the-gauge high at night.

My stalker has recently repeatedly conveyed that xxx xxxxxx has been conscripted into service with regard to DEW deployment at the direction of his FBI handler, suggesting that there is a device of some kind that is "below ground level" from xxx's perspective, but located at the point at which xxx's property "overlooks" our own.

It is obviously distressing when neighbors feel compelled to assail one another through these secretive and damaging means.  One would hope that strong ethics and integrity would prevent such assaults from ever occurring.

It does seem as though we need some assistance in persuading xxx xxxxxx to stop cooperating with the demands of his FBI handler in this regard.

My family's health is invaluable, obviously, and I don't feel we should have to die over my principled stance as an FBI whistleblower and a FOIA requester.  It would be helpful if xxx and his handler could recognize that I'm fighting for his democracy, too.  This is hardly a self-serving endeavor.  I can't help but wish the neighbors could shield us from gratuitous assaults.

Thank you for any and all protective efforts in which you are able to engage at this time.

With appreciation,

Lane MacWilliams

Safety Concern -- Cal Water and PG&E

July 27, 2022

Re: Cal Water; PG&E

To the Office of the Inspector General Hotline, U.S. DOJ and the ODNI:

This is to document that my stalker seems to be advising me, through the Pegasus hack of my cell phone, to leave my home today due to plans of hazardous magnetic ELF exposure from Cal Water's recent underground installation on Vista Verde Way.  Obviously, I am not in a position to leave my home at this time, due to safety concerns.

That said, I will be measuring magnetic ELF regularly, and communicating with the OIG Hotline and the ODNI about any changes to baseline measurements.

I feel it necessary to mention that I have noted out-of-range high measures of RF radiation being emitted from the PG&E power pole on our property, leading to hazardous exposures at night, when we are sleeping in our residence.

PG&E certainly needs to be held accountable for these exposures, and I likely need assistance from the OIG Hotline in communication with PF&E's EMF Department to require that their personnel cease and desist in following unlawful directives extended to them by the FBI in this circumstance.

As an FBI whistleblower, I find my own safety and that of my family to be under active threat, clearly.

I need the prompt fulfillment of all materials responsive to my Freedom of Information Act request.

This delay is placing us in unnecessary peril.  The FBI should not be given any more time in which to disseminate disinformation while assailing us physically.

I hereby certify that the foregoing is true and correct.

Most sincerely,

Lane MacWilliams

The above material was sent to the Office of the Inspector General Hotline of the U.S. Department of Justice in care of the OIP as part of a communication regarding the following: Safety Concern Regarding Cal Water and PG&E; My Conversation Today With a "Target of Interest" in Georgia;  Moral Courage in Medical Care; An Overthrow of the People's Sovereignty; Why Hasn't San Mateo County Sheriff's Deputy Rick Chaput Yet Been Prosecuted for His Crimes of Falsified Law Enforcement Reporting? This communication, with a twelve-page attachment, was sent to the OIG Hotline from lanemacwilliams@gmail.com at 5:22 pm Pacific time, and to selected recipients within the OIP at 5:24 pm Pacific time, with copies forwarded to lanemacwilliams@gmail.com and lmacwilliams77419@gmail.com.

My Conversation Today With A "Target of Interest" in Georgia

This is to publicly document a conversation I had today with a Ms. Patricia Jefferson, whose number I obtained from the "Targeted Justice" website for targeted individuals online.  This was my first conversation with Ms. Jefferson, and she expressed a number of opinions that do not reflect my own.  Because the FBI has demonstrated a willingness to edit and alter recorded dialogue in order to engage in falsified law enforcement reporting, I recorded my side of my conversation with Ms. Jefferson.  I will be delighted to make this recording available to the OIG Hotline or the ODNI upon request.

I initiated the call to Ms. Jefferson, because I have decided to reach out to as many people as possible with the information that the FBI's Nationwide Suspicious Activity Reporting Initiative and its affiliated "target of interest" program seem to be based on local falsified law enforcement reporting that is compensated by the FBI/Infragard.

Ms. Jefferson sounds as though she has suffered a great deal at the hands of the FBI, including, in her view, a cancer misdiagnosis that led her to receive three months of unnecessary chemotherapy.  Certainly, for the FBI to intervene in the objective medical care of "targets of interest" represents an indefensible act.  (For more information on this subject, see my following post, "Moral Courage in Medical Care.")  It is not possible for me to ascertain whether this intervention occurred in Ms. Jefferson's case, though it sounds possible.

I encouraged Ms. Jefferson always to commit to peaceable solutions, even when she felt at her limit.  Because she mentioned having received a concealed carry permit and feeling at her wits end following her final chemotherapy treatment, I emphasized the importance of maintaining non-violence at all times and in all situations.  

If it seemed to me that Ms. Jefferson was at any risk of harming herself or others, I would reach out to the authorities.  Instead, it sounds as though Ms. Jefferson went through a psychological crisis at the point of her final chemotherapy treatment.  It sounds as if this coincided with her discovery that her original pathologist's report had been false -- and that she had never, in fact, suffered from lymphoma.

She sounds currently to be disinclined to consider anything other than peaceful approaches in response to her situation.

I encouraged Ms. Jefferson to always keep faith in the good people within our country and the virtuous people within our government -- and I specifically mentioned President Biden as attempting to illuminate for the American public the current struggle between autocracy and democracy as it is currently being waged within the United States.

Ms. Jefferson spoke positively of President Biden and of Stacey Abrams as well, leading me to believe she may be a Democrat in a predominantly Republican area of Georgia, just north of Atlanta.

I explained to Ms. Jefferson that I felt President Biden had intervened on my behalf to ensure my safety and protect my life, and that I gave him, as well as others within the federal government, tremendous credit for standing in defense of democracy and the Constitution in the face of those within the FBI who would violate the civil liberties and human rights of other Americans.

I expressed to Ms. Jefferson that my own solutions are determinedly peaceful.  I told her that I believed this approach was necessary for all "targets of interest."  The principles we must hold to as those who have been unconstitutionally targeted through wrongful inclusion in the Nationwide Suspicious Activity Reporting Initiative must be much higher than those of the individuals who have assailed us.

It is only in committing to peaceable response to this predation that we will be able to illuminate the truth of the malfeasance of wayward segments of the FBI.

Again, I hold unequivocally to peaceful, non-violent action in illuminating the wrongs currently being committed by portions of the FBI in engaging in falsified law enforcement reporting for anti-democratic objectives.

I believe Ms. Jefferson to be in a relatively stable and calm frame of mind at the current time.  Therefore, I do not believe it is appropriate for me to inform the authorities of any imminent risk to her own safety or that of others in her community.

Ms. Jefferson is lonely, as are many "targets of interest," having experienced a type of predation which appears to be intended to sever their social supports and structures within the community.

Certainly, "targets of interest" need to attempt to support one another in establishing the means of bringing the peril of falsified law enforcement reporting to public awareness.

Democracy requires that we reach out to one another in good faith and attempt to build communities based on a fundamental commitment to the truth.

Certainly, part of this is letting "targets of interest" know that they are not alone -- that others care about them -- that they are important to their families, their communities, and our country.

Compassion is called for, in my opinion, along with expressions of peaceable support.

I hereby certify that the foregoing is true and correct,

Lane MacWilliams

ADDENDUM

Please see an important ADDENDUM included at the end of the post entitled "Why Hasn't San Mateo County Sheriff's Deputy Rick Chaput Yet Been Prosecuted for His Crimes of Falsified Law Enforcement Reporting.

Permission to the Office of the Inspector General Hotline, U.S. DOJ

This letter, originally sent to the OIG Hotline twelve days ago, grants an important permission for this Office to share information with the ODNI.

I am reprinting its content for ease of reading, below.

July 13, 2022

To the Office of the Inspector General Hotline, U.S. DOJ:

This is to grant express permission to the Office of the Inspector General Hotline to share any and/or all information I have directly provided to your Office and/or the Office of Information Policy, U.S. DOJ with Director Avril Haines or her designee within the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

My intention is to facilitate the sharing of information pertinent to both Offices' investigations of falsified law enforcement reporting for anti-democratic objectives, and this permission is extended in direct support of those investigations.

My requests for confidential handling of certain materials I have provided to the OIG Hotline otherwise remain in place, and I would request that the ODNI, in turn, uphold those requests for confidentiality concerning sensitive information.

The OIG Hotline will continue to be the primary recipient of information I provide regarding the insider threat posed by the FBI's engagement in falsified law enforcement reporting about law-abiding American citizens.

I deeply appreciate your ongoing efforts in this investigation.

Most sincerely,

Why Hasn't San Mateo County Sheriff's Deputy Rick Chaput Yet Been Prosecuted for His Crimes of Falsified Law Enforcement Reporting?

I filed a stalking report with San Mateo County Sheriff's Deputy Rick Chaput a couple of years ago -- a report which, so I have been informed, Deputy Chaput falsified for compensation from the FBI.

The FBI has a program entitled the Nationwide Suspicious Activity Reporting Initiative, it turns out, and an affiliated "target of interest" program, and it compensates local law enforcement officers who assist it in keeping the program growing year over year at a rate of at least ten percent.

The FBI needs names of real people to keep these programs expanding, and the agency apparently utilizes the names of those who turn to law enforcement for help in stalking situations to fill out its rosters.

Unfortunately, the FBI -- and local law enforcement by extension -- has engaged in knowingly falsified law enforcement reporting for anti-democratic objectives in an indefensible corruption of these programs for overtly anti-democratic objectives.

The San Mateo County Sheriff's Office has violated the California Public Records Act and the Freedom of Information Act, both, in refusing to provide me with a copy of Case Report #19-11840, to which I am entitled under both state and federal law.

SMC Sheriff's Deputy Chaput did call my husband at one point to tell him that he should request a "replacement case report" with a different number, which was much more accurate than Case Report #19-11840.  Ask for Case Report #20-02355 instead, he said.

This struck both my husband and me as odd at the time.  Why would Deputy Chaput be rewriting the report?

We requested both reports from the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office.  We received neither.

Since that time, I have been told that the FBI has engaged in yet much more extensive crimes of falsified law enforcement reporting against both my husband and myself, all of which it has failed to report in our Freedom of Information Act requests submitted to this agency.

Yet the withholding of this falsified information on the part of both local and federal law enforcement agencies is clearly a violation of our civil rights as members of the law-abiding American public.

I have asked for help from several federal agencies in providing me with these reports as part of the fulfillment of my Freedom of Information Act request, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence chief among them.

How many times over recent years have I hoped that someone in the federal government would call out the cavalry over this issue?

Our democracy cannot survive the assault on the Constitution currently being perpetrated by the FBI through falsified law enforcement reporting for far right political objectives.

The truth is the only antidote.

In defense of the truth, I ask the ODNI to please fulfill my FOIA request urgently.

Not in the four and a half years the FBI has estimated it will take for its compromised leadership to locate responsive materials.

But now.

I regret to report that the above post has prompted an immediate onslaught of death threats sent to my cell phone.  This likely constitutes the most violent response any of my communications have ever received.  While there are many mentions of alternative means of attack, including arson, DEWs, and HAARP,  most of the threats involve overt mentions of assassination.  

It is difficult for me to convey how strongly I oppose the crime of falsified law enforcement reporting, currently being engaged in by the FBI and the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office.

I do not believe that silence is the answer to this "insider threat" to our democracy.

I believe speaking out openly and honestly concerning these crimes represents the only possible path forward for our nation.

Our Constitution must be defended by citizens who are willing to express the truth about these violations of law-abiding Americans' civil rights.

I possess the courage necessary to do so.

And so I am speaking.  

Despite those who would silence me, I am speaking.

Most sincerely,

Lane MacWilliams

The Hour at Hand

At four a.m. last night, I witnessed five men outside of my home.  (My stalker has alleged there were seven on the property, and, if so, I stand corrected.)  Dressed in black and exchanging hand signals and whispers, it is fair to say that these men did not seem to wish me well.

Were they FBI affiliates who had been contracted to harm me, as my stalker alleges?

I reside in one of the safest neighborhoods on the planet, so it seems my status as an FBI whistleblower may have drawn unique risks to my family.

Materials responsive to my Freedom of Information Act request are reported to be en route to me at this time -- the same materials that will almost certainly provide proof of corruption of the the FBI's Nationwide Suspicious Activity Reporting Initiative and the FBI's affiliated "target of interest" program.

Is it true, as my stalker, alleges, that the FBI would prefer me to suffer grievous harm in advance of this mailing's arrival?

What I can tell you is that -- listening to the whispers of predatory FBI affiliates at 4:00 a.m. -- one marvels at the perfidy of men.

Because, even though the Nationwide Suspicious Activity Reporting Initiative and the FBI's affiliated "target of interest " program draw billions of dollars in Congressional budget appropriations yearly, there is no amount of money that is worth the victimization of innocents.

None.

Do paid killers know the worth of human soul?

Probably not.

But I believe that this struggle for the truth of the FBI's crimes of falsified law enforcement reporting against law-abiding American citizens represents the source of our struggle for, as President Biden has so insightfully expressed it, the soul of our country.

I don't have para-military training or a badge or a kevlar vest.

But I have a steadfast faith in God.  I have an unwavering belief in my President, a grateful confidence in Director Haines of the the ODNI, and a heartfelt trust in the courageous investigators of the Office of the Inspector General Hotline.

I have a belief in the power of the Truth over disinformation, principles over personal profit, integrity over convenience, loyalty over self-interest, compassion over cruelty.

And I must hope these gifts are sufficient to the hour at hand.

My Intention to Formally Verify All Documentation

July 25, 2022

To the OIG Hotline and the ODNI:

My stalker has conveyed to me that the written materials responsive to my FOIA request have been altered by those within the FBI who have allegedly intercepted materials originating from the ODNI.

Apparently, many of those "informants" providing knowingly falsified witness statements to the FBI for pay have been deleted from responsive pages.  Remaining material, so I am told, has been reshaped and re-edited in an attempt to discredit me as a FOIA requester and an honorable, law-abiding American citizen.

I am not predisposed to accept shame that is not my own.

I am not reluctant to disclose, as I have done before, that I have had one lifetime intimate partner, my beloved husband of 32 years.  I have never taken recreational drugs.  Nor have I ever knowingly engaged in unlawful activity of any kind.

The FBI has attempted to replace materials responsive to my FOIA request in the past.  I am told that this agency asked Attorney John Bradley to suggest that I sign a special release allowing him to accept materials from the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office on my behalf, with the express intention of replacing information implicating the FBI and its affiliates of malfeasance.  I did not sign any such permission, needless to say.

Beyond this, it is my understanding that Private Investigator Ted Piggins was instructed by the FBI to gain my permission to accept San Mateo County Sheriff's Office materials on my behalf with the same intention of replacing implicating falsifications.  Again, I did not grant permission to Mr. Piggins to accept material on my behalf in any context.

So, for the FBI to now appear to be breaking the law in an attempt to replace materials responsive to my FOIA request with those that absolve many criminal agents and their paid informants of culpability -- is consistent.

Nonetheless, I do not believe such attempts can be ignored or excused.  Nor do I believe that the FBI personnel and FBI affiliates who have knowingly engaged in falsified law enforcement reporting for pay should be able to avoid responsibility for their actions in this matter.

All within the FBI need to understand that, as soon as I receive materials responsive to my FOIA request from the ODNI, I will be seeking to verify that any and all pages, photos, and video are aligned with ODNI and OIG Hotline records, and complete in their conveyance to me.

Thank you for allowing me to register this concern.

Most sincerely,

Lane MacWilliams

Newly Coerced False Witness Statements

OIG Hotline, my stalker suggests that newly falsified witness statements have been coerced from Duncan MacWilliams and Mary Grinnell under DEW assault from FBI affiliates.  My stalker claims that it was on this basis that the FBI intended to attempt a direct dialogue with either my husband or myself today.

In my stalker's assessment, the falsified law enforcement reporting connected to these newly coerced false testaments "turn the world upside down."  I do not know what falsehoods they allege.

I have no way of verifying the information extended to me by my stalker, unfortunately.

The FBI's crimes toward my son and his girlfriend have rendered my communications with them limited.  Any direct information from them concerning their well-being could serve as an invitation for the FBI to harm them further.  As a result, I maintain silence as much as possible for their protection.

I would simply observe that there is only one way to resolve this situation.

And that is with the immediate provision to me of all materials responsive to my FOIA request to the ODNI.

Segments of the FBI are acting in ways that appear to be indistinguishable from organized crime, alarmingly.  The only difference is that this agency is wielding advanced surveillance and harassment technology and highly developed techniques regarding the dissemination of disinformation.

Our democracy cannot survive the sort of "secret police force" which segments of the FBI have come to embody under FBI director Christopher Wray.  Authoritarianism and democracy do not mix.  The lawlessness of the far-right infiltrators within the FBI must be exposed if our Constitution is to be defended, clearly. And criminals with badges who torture law-abiding American citizens with false accusations, intentional defamation, and myriad forms of economic, social and physical predation must be held to account in a court of law.  

When?

Immediately.

It's that urgent.

My husband and I have offered to have any OIG Hotline investigator come to our home or office for any investigation they desire to undertake.  We would welcome them with roses and smiles and alleluias, truly.

We simply ask that the FBI's torture of our family be forcibly halted in the interim.

We simply ask that this agency's lies should cease as the Freedom of Information Act is upheld in this matter.

And we ask that the truth of the FBI's engagement in falsified law enforcement reporting be illuminated, as FOIA requires.

I am deeply appreciative of all of your efforts on our behalf.

Most sincerely,

Lane MacWilliams

The Safety of Whistleblowers

My stalker is threatening to send an FBI agent or a member of local law enforcement to my door in order to "talk things over" with my husband and/or me.

I risk stating the obvious when I say that this is a wildly misbegotten idea.

To review the facts, it appears that members of the FBI have engaged in egregious abuses of power by falsifying law enforcement reporting concerning my family.  Further, it appears that FBI personnel did so at the direct instruction of my stalker, who is a leading member of the far right, a human trafficker, a ranking leader of Russian-affiliated organized crime within the United States, and the head of an alt right militia, according to those who know him well.

It seems that the FBI paid one or more San Mateo County Sheriff's deputies to knowingly falsify SMC Sheriff's Office Case Report #19-11840, which a deputy later attempted to "replace" with rewritten report #20-02355.

Of concern to our democracy, it would appear that the FBI and local law enforcement have knowingly broken myriad laws toward us as part of broad-scale corruption of the Nationwide Suspicious Activity Reporting Initiative and the FBI's affiliated "target of interest" program.

My husband and I stand as unintended whistleblowers of this corruption.

Now, in defense of the rule of law, the President, the ODNI's Director Avril Haines, and the Office of the Inspector General Hotline of the U.S. DOJ are insisting that my FOIA request be fulfilled.

This is decidedly not the time for the FBI or local law enforcement personnel to be seeking to speak directly with my husband or myself.

I have expressed many times that my husband and I will welcome into our home or office any investigator from the Office of the Inspector General Hotline of the U.S. Department of Justice at any time.  That offer remains in place and will remain in place indefinitely.  It is our belief that the OIG Hotline is committed to integrity, truthfulness, and the rule of law in its investigative initiatives.  My husband and I fully support this Office's approach to its critical efforts in defense of our democracy.

Unfortunately, we cannot extend the same trust to anyone from the FBI or local law enforcement at this time, were they to attempt to contact us over the phone or in person.

Criminal members of law enforcement do not want to get caught.  They are loathe to have their crimes against the law-abiding public revealed.  Attempts on the part of law enforcement members to cover up their own malfeasance are common in such circumstances.

Having said that, the FBI's lies will not rescue the FBI from the FBI's lies.

Law enforcement should hold a respectful distance from my entire family at this time, with the operative words here being respectful and distance.

I OBJECT

There is evidence that my stalker, together with direct assistance from his affiliates within the FBI, has hacked my phone with Pegasus software, giving him effective control of all of my cell phone's functions.  Through this control, he continues to extend to me daily threats toward my family members and myself.

Recently, since the ODNI has received my Freedom of Information Act request, my stalker has utilized his hack of my cell phone to suggest that he and his allies will unlawfully attempt to withhold an AI-generated film co-opting my likeness from materials responsive to that FOIA request fulfillment.  This film, it bears repeating, has been utilized liberally by the FBI to defame me in myriad settings.  

The viciousness and malice with which this defamation scheme have been undertaken are truly stunning, in my opinion.  And I'm not quite sure how the FBI Director Christopher Wray could recover any modicum of public trust after systematically attacking honorable American citizens in this manner.

Here is a portion of my stalker's suggestion that this tape should be "erased" through "tape cleaning."

After asking repeatedly for my "silence," presumably about the FBI's original crimes of falsified law enforcement reporting, followed by the agency's crimes of defamation, my stalker then goes on to suggest that I should "tell no one" about the "blank tape" he intends me to receive as fulfillment of my FOIA request.

My stalker then proceeds to explain to me that he would like to give me "cash back" and make me a "kajillionaire" in return for my silence.

 

If I refuse, he suggests my family members and I will face "annihilation" through DEW assault perpetrated through the FBI's wielding of a DEW apparently known as "the thrower."

Where do I begin in conveying how offensive all of this is to me?  All of it.

First, if it is true that the FBI has been weaponizing AI-generated films bearing the likeness of "targets of interest" with the express intention of ruining their good names and all they hold dear, it is fair to say that

I OBJECT.

Second, if it is true that the FBI has been assailing the reputations, livelihoods and lives of millions of law-abiding Americans in this manner, with an over-representation of Democrats and journalists, for anti-democratic objectives, it is fair to say that

I OBJECT.

Third, if it is true that the FBI has knowingly manipulated forty-one million otherwise sane Americans into believing in far-right conspiracy theory with the express intention of unmaking Constitutional protections of Americans' civil liberties and human rights through knowingly false accusations, it is fair to say that

I OBJECT.

Fourth, if it is true that my stalker, his affiliates within the FBI, FBI contractors, or anyone associated with this scheme believes that I can be "bought off" for any form of remuneration on God's green earth, it is fair to say that

I OBJECT.

Fifth, if it is true that anyone involved in these crimes believes that I would leave millions of virtuous Americans to suffer the ongoing crimes perpetrated against them by apparently lawless segments of the FBI, it is fair to say that

I OBJECT.

Sixth, if anyone involved in perpetrating these crimes against the law-abiding American public believes that I can be threatened into silence, it is fair to say that

I OBJECT.

Seventh, if anyone doubts my commitment to President Biden, the Honorable Avril Haines of the ODNI, or the investigators of the Office of the Inspector General Hotline of the U.S. Department of Justice, the good people within the United States Congress and the American people as a whole, it is fair to say that 

I OBJECT.

Democracy only works when our determination to defend the civil liberties and human rights of one another equals our determination to defend the civil liberties and human rights of ourselves.

I INTEND TO DEMONSTRATE WHAT THAT DETERMINATION LOOKS LIKE.

And I hope I make myself clear.

My emphatic and unequivocal message to my stalker and his cohort within the FBI and elsewhere follows:  

I will have all materials responsive to my FOIA request.  

And I do mean all.

Those Who Are Honorable, Just, and Worthy of the Public Trust

 Last night, at 12:58 a.m., a large white GMC-type van pulled over at the top of my driveway at 45 Vista Verde Way, Portola Valley, CA and parked.

What was unusual about this?

The amount of traffic on Vista Verde Way at this hour was ... exactly zero.

What else?

This particular van has shown up at my property before, bearing Florida plates LLIJ12, at times that coincide with my stalker's threats pertaining to the use of some type of device known as "the thrower," a DEW of some type, according to him, which requires approximately a day and a half to "charge," and which can cause acute and lasting injury of the type sustained by Ms. Olivia Troye, a former homeland security adviser to the White House, along with a senior member of the National Security Council, as described in a 60 Minutes interview, here:  https://www.cbsnews.com/news/havana-syndrome-white-house-cabinet-60-minutes-2022-02-20/.

What else?

The van rapidly drove away with its lights off as soon as my husband went outside to investigate its presence.

My stalker has alleged that the DEW purportedly carried within this vehicle is capable of "annihilating" those it targets.

I'm inclined to believe him.

But does "annihilating" those American citizens with courage, insight, and a profound commitment to democracy sound like the right thing to do for our country?

Does "targeting" law-abiding Democrats and journalists sound lawful or honorable or defensible to those men who are tasked with perpetrating such atrocities?

Does "neutralizing" honorable Americans, in defiance of the rule of law, sound like an act of which our intrepid and principled Commander-in-Chief, President Biden, would approve?

Does Christopher Wray really believe that his attempted silencing of an FBI whistleblower can remain concealed from the public view?

I'm a FOIA requester, not an outlaw.

If the FBI has been engaged in falsified law enforcement reporting concerning my husband and me as part of its corruption of the Nationwide Suspicious Activity Reporting Initiative and the FBI's affiliated "target of interest" program, I think we have a right to learn the extent of this agency's crimes.

So, I would simply say to FBI Director Christopher Wray, the unconstitutional predation you are attempting to perpetrate against us does not render you honorable.

Your concealed ties to far-right interests within the United States, as exemplified by your reputed acquaintance with my stalker, who is known as a leading member of the far right, do not make you just.

In the absence of your personal commitment to uphold the civil liberties and human rights of all Americans, your public vow to honor the Constitution does not make you worthy.

If the NSARI and the "target of interest" program are lawful and truthful initiatives, Mr. Wray, show them to me, please.

But don't send unmarked vans to my property in the middle of the night, sir.

My family and I are kind, brave, articulate, loyal, compassionate, law-abiding, inquisitive, engaged, principled American citizens.

Those who are honorable, just, and worthy of the public trust among FBI employees, contractors and affiliates alike will strive to protect us from harm.

Lux in Tenebris: The Light Shines in Darkness

Given the FBI's interest in suppressing evidence of its engagement in falsified law enforcement reporting for anti-democratic objectives, I cannot help but wonder whether the fulfillment of my FOIA request has been intercepted from its progress in the U.S. mail. 

My stalker has admonished me to "keep silent" about the as-yet absent reports if I value my life and the lives of my family members.

He has threatened to assail may family and me through a staged car accident, through kidnapping, through a DEW assault with a device purportedly known as "the thrower," through a violent home invasion, through a staged law enforcement raid, through transmitting a serious pathogen to me in a health care setting, through job loss on the part of my husband and son, through HAARP, through sniper assault, through DEWs deployed from neighbors' houses, through killing my pets -- the list is endless, with warnings arriving daily.

Unfortunately, it appears as though the threats are not idle talk, but instead that some or all of them have involved detailed planning on the part of segments of the FBI and its affiliates.

My stalker has conveyed that he is holding regular "war room" meetings over this issue -- and that the far right is fully engaged with their weapons and their plans of harm.  He has communicated to me that a common refrain within these meetings is "We can't let them win."  And I suppose "them" means Americans who support democracy.

So, I feel I need to respond.

I am not yet in possession of materials responsive to my Freedom of Information Act request.

But, as I have explained, I hold abiding faith in President Biden, the Honorable Avril Haines of the ODNI, and the courageous investigators within the Office of the Inspector General Hotline of the U.S. DOJ.

I'm trusting that these virtuous and determined defenders of the Constitution will find a way to safely convey to me all materials responsive to my FOIA request.

And I'm waiting at my home until they do.

When materials responsive to my FOIA request reach my hands, I will post on this blog that I am in receipt of them.

In the meantime, the words I wish most to convey here and now are from James Whitbourn's choral work Lux in Tenebris.  

The Latin text reads:

Lux in tenebrious lucet et tenebrae eam non comprehenderunt,

which translates to mean 

The light shines in darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

This describes me with a view all the way to my soul.  

The light remains.  Hope is still illuminating all I do.  My faith holds.

There's a resonant performance of this composition here:
