The Risk of a Law-enforcement Raid Justified by Falsified Reporting from the Woodside Fire Protection District Station 8

1.  What are the current risks connected to a fireman from your local Woodside Fire Protection District visiting your property unannounced?

Answer:  The Woodside Fire Protection District is signatory to Infragard.  Under sufficient pressure or financial incentive, this individual could misreport anything the FBI demands him to.  Anything at all.

2.  You have said the FBI has appeared to create entirely false narratives about your family involving "espionage" and/or "terrorism."

Answer:  So I have been told.  

3.  So, if the FBI leadership believes it is going to be caught in its falsified law enforcement reporting regarding you, it could send someone to your property with the intention to have him file a false witness statement?

Answer:  Absolutely.

4.  Which fire station was this particular individual from, according to the gentleman with whom your husband spoke over the phone this afternoon?

Answer:  My husband was told that he was from Fire Station 8.  But he was also told that this fireman never left his fire truck, which is a complete falsehood.

5.  So, you are concerned because it appears the Woodside Fire Protection District is already lying to your husband about their actions today.

Answer:  Yes.  Extremely concerned.

6.  You believe that misreporting from a fireman could be utilized by the FBI to justify a violent law enforcement raid against your family.

Answer:  I do.  Without question, this would represent the FBI leadership's most predatory intent.

7.  What does the FBI appear to want from you?

Answer:  My stalker has repeatedly conveyed to me that the FBI would like "to kill a mockingbird."

 

8. And by that, he means that the FBI would like to kill you as an FBI whistleblower?

 

Answer:  I believe so.

9.  What should happen in this situation in order to safeguard you and your family from the potential of further harm?

Answer:  It seems to me that an investigator could attempt to speak to the Woodside Fire Protection District fireman who was on my property today and ask him who directed him to come here specifically, and, beyond this, if the FBI was involved in any aspect of that visit or its followup reporting, request to see the full set of communications that transpired between the FBI and the Woodside Fire Protection District regarding these actions.

If the facts bear this out this type of planning between corrupt agencies, it's worth mentioning that the average U.S. citizen can do absolutely nothing to protect herself from this kind of coordinated predation.  The FBI wields so much power over others regarding falsified reporting, and because the agency is both threatening and compensating witness informants, it can dictate any reporting it so desires.  When the FBI also wields fake photos or AI-generated video in the service of this false reporting, the effects are devastating.

10.  Without the Office of the the Inspector General Hotline, you might be ...

Answer:  Without the Office of the Inspector General Hotline, I would not have survived until this time, nor would my family, very likely.  The investigators involved in this matter have saved my life repeatedly.

11.  Can they do it this time, despite the FBI's apparent attempt to coerce falsified law enforcement reporting from the Woodside Fire Protection District?

Answer:  It is necessary to keep faith that their intervention in this matter will be possible.

12.  And you maintain that faith.

Answer:  I do.

************************************************************************************

At the end of my posts regarding the unlawful actions of far-right personnel within the FBI, I will be adding the following statement.  The FBI is a deeply divided agency.  There are many FBI employees who view their vows to the Constitution with the utmost seriousness and honor, and who strive to defend the fundamentals of our democracy with courage, fortitude and commitment.  The fact that some segments of the FBI appear to have embraced a lawless course is not a justification to assail the FBI in general.  The safety of FBI agents should be protected, just as the safety of the American citizenry should be protected.  As President Joseph R. Biden has so rightly expressed, violence is never justified in any circumstance.  The rule of law must always be honored and upheld.  It is our shared determination to preserve the civil liberties and human rights of ALL AMERICANS that renders the United States a democracy.  We must never abandon this promise.  All of our most cherished freedoms depend upon it.

Documentation of Unscheduled Visit by Woodside Fire Protection District to Lane MacWilliams' Home

This is to document with the OIG Hotline Investigations Division that, while I was alone in the house this afternoon and in the bath, a man apparently affiliated with the Woodside Fire Protection District spent approximately five minutes walking around the deck closest to my location within my residence.

He did not knock.  He did not announce himself.  He did not go to the front door and ring the bell.

So far, I have not located any notice of his visit left at my residence.

He simply walked fifty feet from the public road at Vista Verde Way to stand ten feet away from the location of my bath for five minutes, after which he proceeded to examine the rest of my property.

Given that my emails to Fire Captain Sean Devlin of the Woodside Fire Protection District went unanswered, and given that this fire department is signatory to Infragard, I am concerned.

I continue to receive ongoing threats of arson at my property.  Yesterday, the following messages were sent to my iPhone:

This "Show Me Your Firetruck," "Little Fires Everywhere," "Home Fires/Careful" sequence appears significant given the unprompted appearance of a fireman on my property this afternoon.

When my husband called the Woodside Fire Protection District, he was told that there had been a reported smell of smoke approximately two miles away on a Los Trancos cul de sac and that firemen may have traveled to Vista Verde Way "without ever leaving their fire truck."

This is not what occurred in fact.

Thank you for allowing me to document these events.

I hereby certify that the foregoing is true and correct.

Lane MacWilliams

Supporting Material for the OIG Hotline's Followup with Mr. Viktor Goldmakher

October 30, 2022 

To the Office of the Inspector General Hotline, Investigations Division:

It would appear that my current email communications with Mr. Viktor Goldmakher are being disrupted by a third party, almost certainly the FBI or an FBI affiliate.  My email to Mr. Goldmakher on Saturday evening, October 29, 2022 from lanemacwilliams@gmail.com at 6:31 PM (please see the screenshot below) appears not to have been received.  (Its duplicate, from lmacwilliams77419@gmail.com does appear to have been transmitted.) Further, Mr. Goldmakher's intended followup email, which he states would be sent on October 30, 2022, never appeared in my inbox.

I would ask for the followup of your investigators if your attention to this matter is possible.

I believe that Mr. Goldmakher likely perjured himself in a statement he signed on October 28, 2022, included here below, and I believe that, if OIG Hotline investigators have been in recent contact with him, he likely perjured himself in those discussions as well.

Previously, Mr. Goldmakher, who is exceptionally intelligent, denied allowing the FBI any access to "40 Gansett Street" (40 Gansett Rd. is the address of my property) and stated that he had supplied no statements to the FBI or affiliates concerning "the property," notably excluding any disclosures about statements pertaining to myself or my family members.  Here is Mr. Goldmakher's statement as he provided it to me:

The statement above is here transcribed for ease of reading:

October 17, 2022

To:

Lane MacWilliams

45 Vista Verde Way

Portola Valley, CA. 94028

Dear Ms. MacWilliams,

As I informed you previously, I have never granted access to 40 Gansett St. Woods Hole, MA to the FBI or its affiliates during the prior rental periods.  I have never made any statements to the above agencies concerning the property.

Viktor S. Goldmakher

74 Pelham Street, Newton, MA. 02459

Why do I think this is important?

In evaluating recent events with Mr. Goldmakher, in conjunction with communications from my stalker, who remains a paid FBI affiliate, it seems to me that the FBI has invented a crime or crimes ("espionage?" "terrorism?") for which Mr. Goldmakher's rental payment to me was intended to be alleged as "payment."

It must be said that Mr. Goldmakher has rented my home on Cape Cod for many consecutive summers.  In my capacity as fiduciary of this property, it is necessary for me to maintain and maximize the property's income on behalf of its Trust beneficiaries.  I am not at liberty to turn away renters for capricious or unfounded reasons.

This year, I instituted an increase in rent to reflect increased rental prices on Cape Cod over the last several years.  Again, in my capacity as fiduciary, these occasional adjustments are part of my fiscal responsibility to beneficiaries of the property's Trust.  

However, this year, I received a spate of threats pertaining to Mr. Goldmakher's alleged falsified witness statements and his initial rental payment. Among them were the following:  "Viktor's Story,"  "Betrayal," "Their Side of the Story," "As It (Perhaps) Was," "My Spy,"  and "Tainted Money."

It seems that my stalker was suggesting that my acceptance of Mr. Goldmakher's initial rental payment would be used to implicate me of some form of wrongdoing about which I remain entirely ignorant.  As a result, I have sought to delay Mr. Goldmakher's initial rental payment for the summer of 2023.

Mr. Goldmakher's recent email communications to me have been quite focused on pressuring me to accept payment from him in the near term: "You need to go to the post office and retrieve the letter."  "Don't delay."  "Retrieve it."

I was sufficiently concerned about the threats I was receiving concerning falsified witness statements by Mr. Goldmakher that I asked him to sign, under penalty of perjury, a series of statements confirming his previous assurances to me that he had had no contact whatsoever with the FBI.  (Please see the document below.) To my surprise, he did so immediately, with the expectation that I was about to give him instructions to wire his initial rental payment to my bank.

I requested a delay in the transfer of his initial rental payment, though I assured Mr. Goldmakher that I would reserve my property for his rental as long as his statements to me were true and correct.

Immediately following that, Mr. Goldmakher appeared to attempt to extricate himself from renting my property in the summer of 2023.  I take this as an enormous red flag, which supports my suspicion that Mr. Goldmakher's statements to me contain knowing falsehoods, and that he likely signed his attestation under pressure from his FBI handler, given the expectation that my wiring instructions to my bank were to promptly follow.

My initial email (from lanemacwilliams@gmail.com at 6:31 PM on October 29, 2022) suggesting to Mr. Goldmakher that he should follow through with the rental as agreed appears to have been deleted from Mr. Goldmakher's inbox. 

Mr. Goldmakher's reply, which was to have been, according to him, sent October 30, 2022, did not appear in my inbox.

As a result of these apparently disrupted communications, it appears to me as though the FBI is attempting to prevent Mr. Goldmakher's continued rental of my property through active tampering with my gmail account.

If Mr. Goldmakher has indeed perjured himself in his October 28, 2022 statement to me, included below, he may feel that he is legally safer with greater distance from me as his landlord.

From my perspective, I believe that Mr. Goldmakher should be held to a full accounting of the truth of this matter.

It has been alleged to me that FBI personnel entered my home at 40 Gansett Rd., Woods Hole, MA with Mr. Goldmakher's knowledge and consent during the first two weeks of August 2022 for the purposes of placing surveillance devices and DEWs within the residence.  Given that my family and I are entirely law-abiding, I would like to know if this event occurred.

Further, Mr. Goldmakher's falsified witness statements and/or falsified communications concerning my family members or myself should be thoroughly illuminated.

If investigators have the freedom to acquire Mr. Goldmakher's text records from his wireless carrier, I believe they should exercise that prerogative.

Beyond this, I believe that Mr. Jay Gans (jaygans@juno.com; (508) 563-6419; (508) 564-1403) knows the truth of Mr. Viktor Goldmakher's cooperation with the FBI.  If investigators can speak to Mr. Gans under oath and prior to intimidation from his FBI handler, I believe he is likely to tell the truth about the FBI's engagement both with him and with Mr. Goldmakher, Mr. Tim Duffany, and others.

My stalker has suggested that my acceptance of Mr. Goldmakher's initial rental payment this year was slated to spark a violent law enforcement raid.  So, I believe this sequence of events matters in illuminating the means by which the FBI's falsified law enforcement reporting can be utilized to silence whistleblowers of its malfeasance.

Thank you very much for your support in this matter.

Most sincerely,

Lane MacWilliams

Slander and Defamation as an Integral Part of the FBI's Crimes of Falsified Law Enforcement Reporting

1.  Your stalker has sent you many messages about the FBI's program of slander and defamation toward you as a "target of interest."

Answer:  That's true.  He has.

2.  Will you relate some of those messages to us, please?

Answer:  Yes, one example is the following:  "If you know yourself, you'll not be hurt by what is said about you."  Another is, "Some people hate you because someone else lied to them about you."  Yet one more:  "When the battle is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser."

3.  A couple of these comments seem to convey that you need to accept the FBI's commission of this particular crime.

Answer:  They do imply that.  But I will observe that there can and should be no normalizing of the slander and defamation in which far right segments of the FBI are engaged against law-abiding American citizens.

4.  Why not?

Answer:  Slander and defamation, when wielded for political objectives, are not standalone crimes.  Rather, they constitute a prelude, an accompaniment and a postlude to violent intent on the part of compromised law enforcement.  When corrupt members of the FBI are perpetrating slander and defamation against law-abiding Democrats and journalists, they are seeking to wrest power away from the American electorate.  Historically, the  scapegoating of innocent people for the political objectives of the far right has been accompanied by violence.

5.  Do you believe that the FBI is falsely accusing law-abiding Americans of crimes such as "espionage" and "terrorism" in order to justify violence against them in any context?

Answer:  I do.  And I need to state that it has taken me a long time to come to this conclusion, which I consider to constitute shameful, appalling, criminal behavior on the part of far right segments within the FBI.

6.  Why has it taken such a long time?

Answer:  Most of us have certain expectations of the FBI as an honorable federal law enforcement organization.  I know I did.  And my sense of safety and a just society were partly tied to my trust in both local and federal law enforcement as being benevolent, honest entities.  Particularly as a woman, there's a heartfelt desire to see law enforcement as protective and not predatory.  

7.  What ultimately changed your view?

Answer:  Well, again, I need to state that I believe there are many excellent people who work for the FBI -- men and women who are committed to the Constitution and the rule of law.  Unfortunately, no organization is particularly competent when it comes to policing itself.  And the FBI is no exception in this regard.  

What changed my view of the FBI ultimately was my realization the agency leadership was more committed to covering up its crimes of falsified law enforcement reporting against law-abiding Americans than it was to rectifying its malfeasance.  The Nationwide Suspicious Activity Reporting Initiative and the FBI's affiliated "target of interest" program draw billions of dollars in Congressional budget appropriations yearly.  The FBI leadership simply does not want to see those dollar flows cease.

8.  Do you believe the FBI has coerced and/or paid for falsified witness statements from people within your acquaintance or your husband's acquaintance regarding serious crimes such as "espionage" or "terrorism"?

Answer:  I do believe the FBI has committed these crimes against us, yes.  The agency's response to my FOIA request is unlawful in its redactions and omissions.  And the scant material that is present within these pages is falsified.  So, the FBI and its affiliates are clearly lying, and they're doing so to extremely damaging effect.

9.  Why do these lies matter?

Answer:  Why does the truth matter? Why does justice matter?  Why does the rule of law matter?  Why does democracy matter?  Why do free and fair elections matter?  Why does the Constitution matter?

10.  You believe the FBI's engagement in knowingly falsified law enforcement reporting places all of these at risk for everyone in the United States.

Answer:  Without question.  The "insider threat" that far right segments within the FBI have come to pose toward our civil liberties and human rights as American citizens is extremely serious.  FBI corruption affects us all currently, and if we don't publicly address it, it will overtake our democracy altogether.

11.  What should happen when FBI "informants" accept pay to lie at the instruction of their FBI handlers -- or lie because they are under active threat by their FBI handlers -- or some combination of both?

Answer:  Well, I can say that in my own case, I believe investigators have the talent and the ability to uncover the truth in these instances.  And that process is necessary for our understanding of what motivates people to engage in these crimes over both the short term and the longterm, despite the fact that they are so clearly damaging to every aspect of our society.

12.  The FBI has 36,000 employees and countless contractors and informants.  If the agency's corruption is fully exposed, what should happen to those who have preyed upon the law-abiding American public in the manner you are describing?

Answer:  That is a question for the American electorate and the American judicial system.  Crimes of falsified law enforcement reporting committed by FBI personnel must be evaluated on a case by case basis.  In the long term I think there is a potential model of utilizing the knowledge of FBI personnel in a defensive capacity to protect against autocratic breaches of Americans' right to privacy, free speech, free assembly, freedom of the press, etc.

13.  You are suggesting that those within the FBI who have violated Americans' Constitutional liberties may be redirected in the cause of their defense from foreign and/or domestic threats.

Answer:  I am.  These are complex questions, but this is an analysis that should be undertaken and evaluated with great care.  With the right leadership, certain transformations of the agency are possible. For our democracy to be upheld, these transformations are necessary, not optional.  So, they merit wise contemplation from the best minds we have among us.

***********************************************************************************

At the end of my posts regarding the unlawful actions of far-right personnel within the FBI, I will be adding the following statement.  The FBI is a deeply divided agency.  There are many FBI employees who view their vows to the Constitution with the utmost seriousness and honor, and who strive to defend the fundamentals of our democracy with courage, fortitude and commitment.  The fact that some segments of the FBI appear to have embraced a lawless course is not a justification to assail the FBI in general.  The safety of FBI agents should be protected, just as the safety of the American citizenry should be protected.  As President Joseph R. Biden has so rightly expressed, violence is never justified in any circumstance.  The rule of law must always be honored and upheld.  It is our shared determination to preserve the civil liberties and human rights of ALL AMERICANS that renders the United States a democracy.  We must never abandon this promise.  All of our most cherished freedoms depend upon it.

Re:  Thank you for the signed/witnessed statement.

Viktor, thank you for providing your signed and witnessed statement regarding interactions with FBI personnel and affiliates.  I do appreciate it.

I would prefer to delay the first installment of your rental payment at this time.  Please allow me to explain the reason why.

It is my understanding that the FBI has advanced a knowingly false narrative, through falsified coerced witness statements, and other falsified evidence, that either I or a family member has been involved in malfeasance of some kind allowing its personnel to wrongfully invoke the Espionage Act or the Patriot Act.

As I have expressed to you in the past, I stand as a whistleblower of FBI law-breaking with regard to the agency's knowing engagement in falsified law enforcement reporting for anti-democratic objectives.

Unfortunately, the agency has a history of aggressively targeting whistleblowers.

One means the FBI utilizes in its retaliatory efforts is that of alleging that a "target's" usual income has somehow been transformed into compensation for wrongful acts.

As a result, I would prefer to delay your November 1, 2022 rental payment installment for the six week rental at 40 Gansett in the summer of 2023.  Perhaps you would be willing to hold this installment until the OIG Hotline Investigations Division of the DOJ has made a little more progress regarding this matter.

Viktor, you have been renting my home at 40 Gansett Rd. for many years, and you and I both know that my own conduct and that of my family has been at all times forthright and honorable in all of our interactions with you.

I appreciate your understanding of the necessity of this pause.

I am happy to provide you with a revised lease scheduling your initial payment for February 1, 2023.  If we need more time, we can always extend it from there.

Thank you very much,

Lane MacWilliams

Dear Lane, 

Nina and I discussed the delay in signing the contract that you proposed.  Since our granddaughter wants to go to Children Science School in Woods Hole this summer, we are afraid to postpone renting a house until the winter.  The main reason we always signed the lease for your house in September was that renting a decent house in Woods Hole for summer weeks is not easy, especially at the last moment.  Therefore, if you cannot commit to renting your house now, we will have to look for an alternative rental right away.  There are some houses that are available but they will be gone soon.  Unfortunately, when we find a suitable house, we will have to commit to it in order not to lose it.  I hope you will reconsider.  Thank you,

Viktor

Viktor, I am committing to rent you the house for six weeks in the summer of 2023 under the terms of the lease here attached.  I will not rent it to another person for the time period in which you are interested, providing all of your testaments to me are true and correct.  You and Nina have signed a document under penalty of perjury stating that you have had no interaction whatsoever with the FBI or its affiliates regarding my family or me.  I take you at your word.  You have always presented yourselves to me as honest and ethical people.

Do you have any second thoughts about the statement you signed?  Have you recalled something that would render your testament untrue?

If you stand by your word, we should proceed as planned.

I have simply proposed a delay in the date of your first deposit, and you have agreed to this delay.  This is a small detail that should present no obstacle to your renting the property as usual.  As I have mentioned before, these are small matters when there is openness, transparency, integrity, and truthful communication  between parties.

I have enclosed herewith a copy of the new lease agreement, with the new deadline, and I am happy to send you the countersigned document.

I think we have an excellent plan, Viktor.  Let's hold to the course upon which we have agreed.

All best,

Lane

I am posting today simply to say thank you to the Investigations Division of the Office of the Inspector General Hotline.  I appreciate their belief in me, their confidence that I am endeavoring to illuminate a genuine concern for all of us as Americans, and their consistent efforts to fact-find regarding this case, despite myriad obstacles.  I appreciate their courage, their integrity, their responsiveness, and their determination.  I view their efforts as nothing less than heroic, given the challenges at hand. These people make me proud to be an American standing in defense of our democracy and the principles which define it.  They have earned my abiding gratitude.

Re: Statement for your signature

Hi Viktor,

I have attached here a statement that covers the subjects of concern with regard to your previous tenancies at 40 Gansett Rd., Woods Hole, MA. 02543.

As a law-abiding American citizen and a conscientious landlord, I am responsible for ensuring that the premises are free from surveillance of and potential hazards to any future residents of the property, whether short-term or long-term.

You have already assured me on multiple occasions in writing that you have had no communication with the FBI or its affiliates whatsoever, Viktor.  Accordingly, I'm certain the attached document will present no concerns for you whatsoever.

As I have recently expressed to you, trust and open communication between landlords and tenants is foundational important from my perspective.

It would appear that you agree, Viktor.

As soon as you return this signed, witnessed document, we can communicate about the details of your initial payment for Gansett summer 2023.

Thank you for your cooperation in providing this testament, Viktor.

Sincerely,

Lane MacWilliams

Re:  Thank you for the signed/witnessed statement.

Viktor, thank you for providing your signed and witnessed statement regarding interactions with FBI personnel and affiliates.  I do appreciate it.

I would prefer to delay the first installment of your rental payment at this time.  Please allow me to explain the reason why.

It is my understanding that the FBI has advanced a knowingly false narrative, through falsified coerced witness statements, and other falsified evidence, that either I or a family member has been involved in malfeasance of some kind allowing its personnel to wrongfully invoke the Espionage Act or the Patriot Act.

As I have expressed to you in the past, I stand as a whistleblower of FBI law-breaking with regard to the agency's knowing engagement in falsified law enforcement reporting for anti-democratic objectives.

Unfortunately, the agency has a history of aggressively targeting whistleblowers.

One means the FBI utilizes in its retaliatory efforts is that of alleging that a "target's" usual income has somehow been transformed into compensation for wrongful acts.

As a result, I would prefer to delay your November 1, 2022 rental payment installment for the six week rental at 40 Gansett in the summer of 2023.  Perhaps you would be willing to hold this installment until the OIG Hotline Investigations Division of the DOJ has made a little more progress regarding this matter.

Viktor, you have been renting my home at 40 Gansett Rd. for many years, and you and I both know that my own conduct and that of my family has been at all times forthright and honorable in all of our interactions with you.

I appreciate your understanding of the necessity of this pause.

I am happy to provide you with a revised lease scheduling your initial payment for February 1, 2023.  If we need more time, we can always extend it from there.

Thank you very much,

Lane MacWilliams

Re:  Next steps for Gansett summer 2023

Viktor, I think it would be best if you canceled the check you sent via certified mail.

I regret that inconvenience, but I think it represents the wisest course of action at this time.

Rather than having you send me anything further through the mail, I would suggest that you wire the rental payment to my bank, Wells Fargo.  That way, it can be directly deposited into the Trust account.  If you agree to this approach, I will call the bank and obtain the specifics you require.

After that, we can correspond about any remaining concerns.

Viktor, I know that you and your family have enjoyed the rental of my home at 40 Gansett Rd. for many years.  You have expressed to me that you love the private locale, the proximity to the Woods Hole Science School, and the private beach for your grandchildren.

Jay Gans consistently tells me that you have a lovely family.

I always believe that honest and ethical people can overcome the vast majority of obstacles that arise.

You have always communicated to me that you view me as an honest and ethical person, and, in turn, you have always presented yourself to me as an honest and ethical tenant.

So, in this spirit of open communication and trust, I look forward to next steps in arranging for the summer of 2023 at 40 Gansett.

Many thanks,

Lane MacWilliams

Viktor, hi,

I will go into further detail.  But first, could you please confirm for me the exact and complete contents of your mailing? 

I am assuming that you sent the signed rental agreement and your signed statement, both of which you have now provided to me via email, along with the rental check due November 1, 2022 for  $11,340.

I am further assuming that you sent nothing else whatsoever in this mailing.

Is this correct? 

Thank you for clarifying,

Hi Lane,

Yes, this is exactly what I sent you, nothing else.  Do you really believe that I am trying to do something sneaky?  Not at all.  Everything is fine.  You just need to go to the post office and retrieve the letter or they will make a couple of more attempts to deliver it and if you are not in they may send it back to me.  USPS became much worse than it used to be.

Best,

Viktor

Lane, do not worry, the letter most likely is at the post office, and you will retrieve it from there, just don't delay, or they could send it back to me.  Worst comes to worst, this is what will happen.  In this case I can resend you everything including a duplicate check by a regular first-class letter, and then there will be no problem with delivery and it will be cheaper.  I can do it soon.

The FBI Attempts to Impoverish a Whistleblower Through Obstruction of Legal Representation

October 27, 2022

OIG Hotline, if you are able, please assist me in contacting Attorney Lisa Sherman of LaTanzi, Spalding and Landreth (contact information below) to ascertain the nature of the FBI's recent communications with her.  In accordance with professional guidelines, Attorney Sherman should assist me with the administrative legal matter described below, or she should refer me right away to an attorney who can.

I realize that the current efforts of the Investigations Division of the OIG Hotline are wide-ranging.  I ask for this support due to the fact that I have received ongoing and recent threats of property divestment by the FBI if I do not relinquish my role as a whistleblower of FBI malfeasance.

I very much appreciate any support your Office is able to extend.

Most sincerely,

Lane MacWilliams

Contact information for Attorney Lisa Sherman is as follows:

Lisa F. Sherman, Esq., La Tanzi, Spaulding & Landreth, 8 Cardinal Lane; P.O. Box 2300, Orleans, MA. 02653, (508) 255-2133; Fax: (508) 255-3786. Email:  lsherman@latanzi.com

**********************************************************************************

1.  You need to amend the Trust title of your family home on Cape Cod, but FBI personnel are preventing you from doing this.  Is this correct?

Answer:  It would appear so, yes.  The amendment is a relatively trivial legal matter, but it is important for the protection of the property long-term.

2.  You feel that, if the amendment is obstructed, the FBI could attempt to divest you of the property through various stratagems.

Answer:  Yes, I do.

3.  And this divestment could be utilized to impoverish your family.

Answer:  Yes, it could.

4.  It seems as though the FBI wields effective totalitarian control over many attorneys within the United States.  How has this happened?

Answer:  It appears that most if not all state bar associations are signatory to Infragard.  So, when a "target of interest" appeals to an attorney for any kind of representation, the FBI immediately steps in with a false invocations of the Espionage Act or the the Patriot Act in demanding that the "target" be deprived of legal assistance.

5.  This is clearly unconstitutional.

Answer:  It absolutely is unconstitutional.  We need to understand that the FBI has apparently filled its "target of interest" list with an overwhelming number of law-abiding American citizens.  It has further been alleged that the "target of interest" list is over-represented by Democrats and journalists, women and minorities.

6.  So, law-abiding American citizens are being selectively deprived of adequate legal representation, according to the preferences of the FBI.

Answer:  That appears to the be the case, yes.

7.  Are you willing to include your recent communications with Attorney Lisa Sherman of LaTanzi Spaulding and Landreth below, so that we can see an instance of the FBI's obstruction first-hand?

Answer:  Of course.  No problem.

8.  What is wrong with this communication as it stands?

Answer:  Attorney Sherman, under apparent instruction from the FBI, declines to help me with a relatively trivial legal matter.  And she further fails to refer me to an attorney who can assist.  This failure is unheard of with regard to attorney professional etiquette and ethical protocol.  It's just not the way things are done within the profession.  If an attorney cannot help someone, he or she makes immediate referrals.

9.  When you explicitly asked Attorney Sherman for referrals, how did she answer you?

Answer:  She didn't answer me at all.  Again, this is highly improper behavior from an attorney.  This type of stonewalling is just not seen within the profession when ethical and professional guidelines are being followed.

10.  Your stalker, who is reported to be a leading member of Russian-affiliated organized crime within the United States, has claimed that he wields "absolute power" over this situation.

Answer:  Yes, he has.  

11.  What is your response to that claim?

Answer:  I guess I just need to state my belief that most Americans would find it unacceptable that Vladimir Putin and his Russian affiliates are apparently wielding sufficient control over far right segments of the FBI that they are determining which law-abiding Americans are able to access legal representation within the United States.

The equal and unobstructed access to legal representation is a foundational part of our Constitution.

Should Russian interests be able to deconstruct our Constitution in this manner through wielding control over corrupt segments of the FBI?

Somehow, I don't think so.

12.  What if your stalker does, in fact, wield totalitarian control over this situation?

Answer:  If he does, then I believe he should step forward into the public square and introduce himself to the American people as their unelected leader.  He should explain to every American citizen why he believes the deprivation of law-abiding Americans' civil liberties and human rights is in their best interests.  Afterwards, there should be a public discussion on the matter in order to see whether the American people agree with him.

13.  But you don't believe the American people would agree.

Answer:  The American people elected President Joseph Robinette Biden to the highest office in the land on November    , 2020.  They did so thoughtfully, lawfully, and in accordance with the Constitution of the United States of America.

In my opinion, they made an inspired choice in electing a remarkable leader who is striving in ways seen and unseen to protect and defend all aspects of our democracy.

President Biden was my personal choice on Election Day, but he is also democracy's best hope at this critical juncture in our nation's history.  His authority stands.  His integrity stands.  His leadership stands.

If Vladimir Putin and his cohort intend to challenge the legitimacy of the American peoples' choice, it is my opinion that they should be publicly, determinedly, lawfully opposed.

Re:  Amending Trust Title

Lisa, hi, I hope this email finds you well.

I have a quick question for you.  My brother Brian never accepted the Trustee position on the Janice E. Von Herzen 2010 Realty Trust, as you know.  However, he is listed as Trustee on the real estate title.

What would we need to do to correct the property title?

This is important for insurance purposes.

I appreciate your help,

Re:  Amending Trust Title

Hello Lane,

We do not have an active engagement on this matter and, regrettably, we do not have the capacity at this moment to take this on; we are down two associates in our department at the moment, and, as such, are at full capacity between now and year end.

If you have not been able to make other arrangements for assistance by year end, we could probably re-open the file to assist after the New Year.

I'm sorry we cannot accommodate your request at this time.

Regards,

Lisa Sherman

Deprivation of Freedom: the Effect of the FBI's Crimes Toward the Law-abiding American Public

  

   1. Your stalker appeared to allege yesterday that an FBI affiliate was paid to lie

     about your husband at the ASCEND conference in Las Vegas?

 

Answer:  He did.

 

2. And how does this make you feel?

 

Answer:  Absolutely helpless.  What control do I have over the threats and payoffs the FBI is extending to participants in a conference hundreds of miles away about which I know nothing whatsoever.  The FBI’s actions in lying about my husband, who is the best man I have had the pleasure to know in my sixty years on this planet, are monstrous, frankly. I can’t view them as anything less.

 

3. You asked your husband to record his interactions with participants at the conference.  Did that happen?

 

Answer:  It didn't happen across the board.

 

4.  Why not?

 

Answer:  My husband really doesn’t perceive the manner in which the FBI is lying about law-abiding American citizens in a systematized and intentional predation.  If I’m right about this, and I am, the FBI has dismantled the Constitution before our very eyes.  And the agency has dismantled the Freedom of Information Act alongside it.

 

5.  How has this impacted your life?

 

Answer:  I haven’t left my house in months due to the specificity and the volume of the death threats I receive, all of them apparently extended by FBI personnel and affiliates through my Pegasus-hacked iPhone. My friends and acquaintances appear to have come under so much pressure from FBI personnel to sign falsified witness statements that I’m unable to see or speak to them.  Some of my family members have also experienced the horrors of the FBI’s criminal coercive techniques, so I cannot speak with these individuals either.  Safe and private medical care has been denied to me in a manner that represents fundamental human rights violations, in my view.  There are two million-dollar drones flying over my residence day and night, apparently, because the truth I am telling about the FBI’s crimes is so frightening to Christopher Wray that he has responded by attempting to criminalize my every move. My stalker has threatened that I will be killed if I so much as engage in gardening in my back yard, so, that’s not possible for me either.

 

6.  You’re living in a functional prison within the United States, even though you and your family members are entirely law abiding.

 

Answer:  I am.  That is correct.  I am extremely fortunate to have a lovely home.  But I cannot safely leave it.  I have been effectively deprived of my rights as an American citizen.  I cannot contact my Congresswoman for help.  I cannot turn to the courts.  I cannot turn to the press.

 

7.  Yet, your stalker, who is a leading member of Russian-affiliated organized crime within the United States, is free.

 

Answer:  I have no idea about my stalker’s whereabouts and I don’t want to know them.

 

8.  Why not?

 

Answer:  Because my stalker has falsely accused me of stalking him, in a rather egregious example of projected guilt on his part.  I can perceive that he has deprived me of all of my most meaningful civil and human liberties as a law-abiding American citizen, but I don’t know any specifics about him.  If he is free, I will simply say that, given the manner in which he and far right segments of the FBI have preyed upon my family for the last five years, our country has apparently embraced a dystopian paradigm.  No one should be comfortable about an FBI that is committing these kinds of human rights violations toward the law-abiding American public.

 

9.  What role does the Freedom of Information Act play in all of this?

 

Answer:  The Freedom of Information Act is central to our hopes of maintaining any semblance of a democracy within the United States. FOIA, if it is honored and upheld, affords American citizens the right to know what information about them certain agencies are aggregating  and disseminating.  If FOIA had been appropriately enforced over the last twenty years, the FBI would not have been able to lie about law-abiding “targets of interest” with impunity.  It would not have been able to begin committing human rights violations with no accountability for its actions.  It would not have become so closely tied to Russian-affiliated organized crime that my stalker exerts more apparent control over the agency than FBI Director Christopher Wray.

 

10.  You read a book not too long ago by former FBI agent Michael German entitled Disrupt, Discredit, and Divide:  How the New FBI Damages Democracy.  

 

Answer:  I did.

 

11.  Did you find it accurate?

 

Answer:  Mr. German knows the truth of the FBI’s crimes from the inside, and so, he represents a valuable voice for Americans with regard to the realities of the agency.  I differ from Mr. German in that I don’t believe the current FBI “damages” democracy.  I think it decimates democracy.  The book makes no mention of the FBI’s unlawful use of DEWs, so that omission is problematic. It makes no mention of the FBI’s engagement in knowingly falsified law enforcement reporting as a broad institutional priority.  It makes no mention of the manner in which paid witness “informants” are threatened and bribed to lie about law-abiding American citizens.  The book represents an important contribution to Americans’ understanding of the FBI.  But I hope Mr. German finds a way to tell the American public more about the “insider threat” the FBI has come to represent to our expectations of a free and fair democracy with honest and accountable federal law enforcement.

 

12.  What concerns are foremost in your mind today?

 

Answer:  My husband is scheduled to fly home from Las Vegas today, where he has attended the ASCEND conference, at which at least one person was paid by the FBI to lie about conversing with him.  So, I remain concerned for his safety and my own.

 

13.  What are the most damaging lies a dishonest informant could tell?

 

Answer:  I have no idea.  I’m sure there is no limit to the disinformation the FBI can create at will.  But again, this leaves us in an entirely dystopian and totalitarian system, with no checks and balances on the lying in which the FBI and its affiliates are so diligently engaging.  What about the Constitutional right to face one’s accusers in a court of law?  Have we forgotten about this as requisite to our democracy?

 

14.  Will anyone be able to hold a lying FBI to account?

 

Answer:  I don’t know.  President Biden has the courage and the will, so there’s a chance.  But the FBI is committing civil and human rights violations in such a manner that everyone is now at risk of having their rights summarily removed by lawless members of this agency or their affiliates.  So, our democracy is on life-support.  Our situation is quite serious.

 

15.   Do you have a hope that your Freedom of Information Act request of the ODNI will be fulfilled?

 

Answer:  I do.  And I will just say this.  There should be a tremendous bias toward fulfilling FOIA requests without exemption or redaction -- an overwhelming commitment to disallowing the FBI from disseminating disinformation through federal Fusion Centers while withholding the same material from those law-abiding American citizens who are being victimized by the FBI’s lies.  There should not be long delays in which the FBI can formulate yet more detailed disinformation about its “targets of interest.” Those kind of intervals invite institutional abuse of the kind the FBI just perpetrated at the ASCEND conference toward my husband.  At some point, the FBI’s falsified law enforcement reporting must be revealed to its victims.  This is not a “close call,” a “difficult assessment,” or a “complex calculation.”  This is a necessity without which our democracy cannot be upheld.

 

16.  What should happen regarding whatever lies the FBI coerced about your husband at the ASCEND conference?

 

Answer:  Whatever their content, they should be immediately disallowed.  The agency’s predation has gone far enough.  The FBI’s civil and human rights abuses are not to be borne indefinitely by long-suffering “targets of interest.”  The FBI, as difficult as this process is, must engage in the transparency and accountability that is required of all worthy law enforcement agencies. Our democracy’s life depends upon this accountability, and my family members’ lives depend upon it, too.

******************************************************************

At the end of my posts regarding the unlawful actions of far-right personnel within the FBI, I will be adding the following statement.  The FBI is a deeply divided agency.  There are many FBI employees who view their vows to the Constitution with the utmost seriousness and honor, and who strive to defend the fundamentals of our democracy with courage, fortitude and commitment.  The fact that some segments of the FBI appear to have embraced a lawless course is not a justification to assail the FBI in general.  The safety of FBI agents should be protected, just as the safety of the American citizenry should be protected.  As President Joseph R. Biden has so rightly expressed, violence is never justified in any circumstance.  The rule of law must always be honored and upheld.  It is our shared determination to preserve the civil liberties and human rights of ALL AMERICANS that renders the United States a democracy.  We must never abandon this promise.  All of our most cherished freedoms depend upon it.
