My Third Novel's Conclusion, My Heartbreak

My heart begins to break when I think about completing this particular book -- because this narrative has sustained me like no other story I've known. It's both more personal and more universal than my other works. But beyond memory and archetype, it's a cri-de-coeur about needing to become the person one is destined to be. And in the writing, I have met my own life's work, my own fated journey -- having the sense all the while that the pages are suffused with a resonance, an energy, an electrified field that defies explanation. Writers hope and pray to be overtaken by a work in this way -- to be conscripted into passionate service of a profound story. To experience it even once in a lifetime seems a great privilege. I still have several months before this novel is complete, and this constitutes my reprieve. Because I'm not ready for the beauty to end.

Update: Reflections on the Second Amendment by a "Target of Interest"

Update:  The response to questions #1 and #2 have been expanded.

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

1.  What is your feeling about the Second Amendment?

Answer:  Honestly, I am not in favor of firearms in private households without background checks and safeguards.  The vast majority of Americans support this reasoned, thoughtful approach to this matter.

2.  Why have you elected to lawfully possess a firearm within your own home?

Answer:  We have observed all lawful procedures, I need to emphasize.

My stalker has threatened to break into my home and cause violence to my family for a period of years in which we have appeared to be unprotected by law enforcement.  In fact, when we reached out to law enforcement for intervention in this situation, a corrupt sheriff's deputy engaged in falsified reporting concerning my complaint and made our situation immeasurably worse.

3.  Without going into all of the specifics, you felt that corrupt members of law enforcement were being compensated to write falsified reports connected to the Nationwide Suspicious Activity Reporting Initiative and the FBI's affiliated "target of interest" program.

Answer:  That is correct.

4.  Do you feel your lawful possession of a firearm within your own home has been protective under these extreme circumstances?

Answer:  I believe it has served as a disincentive to those who have wished us harm, yes.  But I also believe it has served as a means for far right segments of the FBI to discredit us as "dangerous" or a "security risk" or "deserving of surveillance," none of which is remotely true.

5.  Do you have evidence that people unknown to you have attempted to break into your home?

Answer:  I have heard the attempt of unknown trespassers to break into a first-floor window.  I have seen what appeared to be Special Forces personnel on the second-floor balcony of my home.  I have physical evidence of trespassers on the roof of my residence.  So, these signs are concerning, yes.

6.  Do you believe your lawful ownership of a firearm may have been used as justification for the deployment of Special Forces personnel to your residence in the past based on falsified law enforcement reporting about your family as perpetrated by far right segments of the FBI?

Answer:  I do.

7.  Would you ever take your firearm off of your property?

Answer:  Absolutely not.

8.  Why not?

Answer:  Because it is intended solely for the purpose of protecting our lives in a defensive manner within our own home and on our own property.  It has no other purpose whatsoever.

9.  Do you believe far right factions of the FBI have made false-flag accusations against your family, in falsely claiming that you are dangerous, therefore you need to be assailed by law enforcement personnel?

Answer:  Absolutely.  

And I will just gently remind everyone that Breonna Taylor was a victim of falsified law enforcement reporting before she was shot and killed within the boundaries of her own home.

Corrupt members of law enforcement had knowingly mischaracterized people at her residence as "dangerous," and as a result of that deceit, she lost her life.

It is necessary to understand that that loss of life was the intended result of the falsified law enforcement reporting perpetrated against her.  It was not an unanticipated or accidental outcome.

Falsified law enforcement reporting is designed to harm "targets of interest" within every aspect of its implementation.

The disinformation that is being wielded by the far right in the perpetration of falsified law enforcement reporting is not by happenstance.  It is by design.

10.  Your point is that totalitarianism depends upon its ability to wield disinformation to determine the fates of anyone and everyone.

Answer:  Yes.

11.  Are you a violent person?

Answer:  In no way, shape, or form.

12.  Yet, you feel your determination to defend yourself and your family has likely helped to protect your lives in this circumstance, in which you stand as a whistleblower of the FBI's corruption of the Nationwide Suspicious Activity Reporting Initiative and the agency's affiliated "target of interest" program.

Answer:  Our lives have primarily been protected by the intervention of those heroes within our federal government who support democracy.

But yes, I believe my determination to protect us within the bounds of our own home may have helped.

13.  What would serve as the greatest contribution to your safety and that of your family at this time?

Answer:  The fulfillment of my Freedom of Information Act request in its entirety.

14.  Do you hereby certify that the foregoing is true and correct?

Answer:  I certainly do.

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.
