1. Your computers are demonstrating such significant hacking by third parties that you are often forced to switch between in them in a single online session. Is that correct?
Answer: Yes. If one laptop will not allow me to post photos or screenshots on my blog, for example, I will try the other one. There are differences in each computer's particular problems from one day to the next.
2. Are you concerned that your computer use may be utilized by far right factions of the FBI and their affiliates to misreport your online activities at this time?
Answer: Yes. It appears as though online impersonation of both my husband and myself may be occurring through "Wifi piggybacking" conducted from the residence of a near neighbor. The co-opting of our IP addresses, which I understand the FBI knows how to do, means that corrupt members of the far right can engage in discrediting or unlawful activities online utilizing our identities.
3. Are there other signs of active interference with your communications?
Answer: Yes. I often fill out online surveys for the Democratic Party in the process of contributing on a daily basis. It now appears that some of those survey responses are being altered by third parties.
4. How can you ascertain this?
Answer: I can see the answers actively being altered when my hands are not touching the keyboard.
5. What is the intent of far right members of the FBI in this case?
Answer: Likely, they desire to disrupt alliances that are uncovering the details of FBI Counterintelligence's perpetration of falsified law enforcement reporting for anti-democratic objectives.
6. In other words, far right factions of the FBI would like to mischaracterize your opinions in the hope that those in Washington, D.C. might grow concerned about your views.
Answer: I believe that to be the case, yes.
7. What is the remedy?
Answer: The truth is always the remedy to those on the far right who are attempting to deceive the American public as a route to unearned power.
Would George Santos have been elected if his compulsive lying had been publicly recognized prior to his election? Almost certainly not.
So, too, it's important for us to recognize that those far right infiltrators within the FBI have not been duly elected by the American public. They are attempting to wrest control away from the American electorate and to do so in a manner that is clandestine and unrecognized.
8. And your point is that falsified law enforcement reporting is a powerful tool being wielded by the far right in their effort to exert totalitarian control.
Answer: Far right factions within the FBI want to know that any American's fate -- professionally, within the medical sphere, within a court of law, within their neighborhood, within their circle of family and friends -- can be controlled by autocratic governance. Someone's reputation contributes powerfully to the public perception of whether a given individual is trustworthy or malign. So, if the far right can control Americans' reputations through the threat of falsified law enforcement reporting, they can control broad-ranging aspects of their lives.
9. Can any American's fate be controlled in this manner? You've said that you've received myriad threats that your novel manuscript has been appropriated from your computer, for example.
Answer: I have received those threats, and I have no doubt that an attempt is being made.
However, the soul of our nation is defined primarily by what is just and honest and benevolent. And as long as we have virtuous people who are willing to stand by their principles in defending the civil liberties and human rights of others, we haven't relinquished our claim to that soul.
10. You're not discouraged by the corruption you've witnessed among those co-opted by far right factions of the FBI?
Answer: People benefit from being led toward the angels of their better nature. That's the reason why President Biden is so critical for our democracy at this moment in our nation's history. His character, integrity, compassion and engagement demonstrate to Americans a form of democratic governance which is based on an ideal of leadership, in which our Commander-in-Chief -- as elevated and powerful as he is -- still chooses to advocate for concerns of the common man and woman.
President Biden leads the American public in the model of the highest form of public service. Being given the keys to power, he endeavors to return them to the people.
The fact that he is our Commander-in-Chief at this moment, when the far right is making its bid for autocratic rule in our own country and elsewhere around the world, represents a great gift.
11. You have said before that you loved the moment when a man was shouting to be heard at a White House ceremony, and President Biden's response was "Let him speak. Let him speak."
Answer: I want to make clear that the public deserves the opportunity to hear our duly elected President speak without his being interrupted.
Having said that, I believe that President Biden's response in that moment was in some ways emblematic of his greatest gifts of leadership.
He perceives the outsider, the whistleblower, the "vox clamantis in deserto" calling from the sidelines to be heard -- and his response is, "Let her speak. Let her speak."
That rare quality means that he insists on hearing the concerns of the American public and he refuses to silence those voices.
It is this generosity of spirit that forms the foundation of democracy -- this simple, but rare, act of saying, "I want to hear your voice."
12. And President Biden has, in many ways, said "Let her speak. Let her speak," when it comes to you yourself.
Answer: Yes, he has.
13. You want Americans to understand that he represents a fierce defender of their civil liberties and human rights in ways that have not yet been illuminated for them.
Answer: Yes, I do. And I would like to articulate the reasons why he is irreplaceable in the face of the far right's assault on our democracy. Some people possess heroic character -- a few -- a handful. But President Biden is one of them, and his potential to reclaim democracy's foundation for our own country -- and to support its flourishing in many other nations -- is transformational.

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.
