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.

Which of the FBI's Clandestine Programs Must Be Brought into the Light for a Full Public Accounting?

OIG Hotline investigators, the information that follows herewith represents a portion of the most sensitive information I attempted to send to you via FedEx on Monday, February 13, 2023.

Necessarily, there are redactions in this post.

But this presents some of the larger puzzle pieces involved in the far right's attempt to undermine our democracy through the advancement of secret programs discussed with the legislative, judicial and executive branches of our government, including the American electorate at large, as "necessary for national security."

In evaluating these structural problems that have been conceived and extended by far right factions of the three-letter agencies, as well as certain compromised members of DoD, it's necessary to reflect that totalitarian programs are always concealed for as long as possible.  History is clear on this point.  The architects of predations that would be considered by the public to constitute human atrocities become yet more aggressive at the prospect of exposure.

And, in this case, there seem to be concerted attempts to implicate my husband and myself of wrongdoing of which we are completely and entirely uninformed and unaware.

Unfortunately, the truth is rather more challenging, and it is this:  a certain segment of those in whom we have placed our trust to defend the Constitution and the civil liberties and human rights it confers have instead betrayed that commitment.

Having said that, I believe that many people within the FBI, the CIA, the NSA, and the DoD who have a view into portions of these agencies'  departure from the Constitution are mightily unhappy about that choice.

As I have said elsewhere, there are many, many virtuous men and women within these organizations who strive to defend the civil liberties and human rights of all Americans, and further, of those who are laboring for democracy all over the world.  I know that to be the case, because I've been helped by some of them.

But our ability to defend our democracy from those who would prefer unseen autocratic means of controlling the social and economic progress of our nation depends upon our ability to expose the truth of this matter.

So, this is important, in the way that the human rights of all of mankind are important.

That's not hyperbole.

Our ability to fairly rapidly assess what has gone wrong within these programs, and to bring those wrongs into the public sphere for a public accounting, is our one hope of regaining the egalitarian, just, honorable society the founders of our nation hoped to create.

We have the most honorable, courageous, capable Commander-in-Chief possible in President Joseph R. Biden, and that great gift renders this public accounting possible.

I hope the following information, albeit necessarily redacted, may assist in that cause:

The Phoenix Program appears to be implemented within the United States under cover of the Signature Reduction Program, which is described well in a 2021 Newsweek article, which can be found online here: https://newsweek.com/exclusive-inside-militarys-secret-undercover-army-1591881

My stalker works as a hired xxxxxxxx within this context, based on the information he has provided to me over time.

It is difficult to convey to you the greatest contributor to my certainty of this fact. My stalker was my xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx in the summer of 2017, following a shoulder surgery that I had had several months prior.  I will simply say that there were several occasions during my appointments when I perceived that my xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx possessed a central characteristic which I think of as "cold fury" or "cold rage." That is to say, there is no logic or reason that fuels such hatred within a person.  It remains as a hidden constant which the individual endeavors mightily to conceal.

I consider myself to be a fairly perceptive individual.

I have never encountered this type of "cold fury" in anyone before or since encountering my stalker.

There is instinct involved in this assessment, and there are many ways of "knowing" the truth about a person.

I have no doubt in my mind that xxxxxxx xxxx serves as a paid xxxxxxxx for the FBI, focusing on those within the FBI's "disposition matrix."

In my case, Mr. xxxx, over time, ensured that I was wrongfully placed on this list in order to fulfill an apparently obsessive fantasy on his part of causing me egregious harm.

Clearly, there are inherent financial incentives for those who participate in clandestine programs which prey upon law-abiding members of the American public for anti-democratic objectives.

Contractors are paid.  Informants who bear false witness are paid.  Those who perpetrate unwarranted violence against "targets of interest" are paid.

Yet, dystopias are constructed around precisely this sort of structural predation toward imaginary "enemies of the state."

How disheartening it has been to realize that my stalker's predations over the last five years have been compensated by ongoing payments from funds originating with our national treasury.

The May 17, 2021 Newsweek article on the Signature Reduction Program, referenced earlier, concludes with the observation that "The military services should be asking more questions about the ethics, propriety, and even the legality of soldiers being turned into spies and assassins, and what this means for the future."

Indeed.

My stalker has referenced a "thirty-person xxxx xxxxxx" for the Phoenix Program, in which his markedly violent psychological profile is weaponized as an expression of "national security" by a Pentagon which has vastly expanded its capacity for "secret operations" carried out against the American public.

But I think most Americans would recoil in horror at the thought that certain segments of our military might be perpetrating xxxxxx against law-abiding American citizens for anti-democratic objectives.

The FBI's unconstitutional "target of interest" program, which relies heavily on falsified law enforcement reporting for anti-democratic objectives, plays a central role in justifying these harms against the American electorate.

A law-abiding American citizen who can be falsely labeled as a "spy," a "terrorist," a "child abuser," a "drug manufacturer," "mentally ill," a "human trafficker," or a "danger to society," can be harmed with impunity by those contractors who have been designated to enforce political, economic, and social control over the American public.

Hence, the lies of far right FBI personnel, as well as local law enforcement officers whom the FBI directs and influences.

The FBI's deconstruction of the Freedom of Information Act for law-abiding "targets of interest" has allowed the agency's perpetration of falsified law enforcement reporting to expand without challenge from those Americans who are being directly harmed by these programs.

Ultimately, as John F. Kennedy observed, secrecy is antithetical to a sustainable democracy.  The transparency and accountability required of the national security agencies in order for members of the public to retain their civil liberties and human rights take precedence over any argument that societal "safety" can be supported through programmatic objectives of deceit and predation.

My stalker has asserted recently that the Phoenix Program is "too big to fail."

I would counter that the democracy of the United States is too valuable to betray.

The founders of our nation provided for civilian control of the military, because they knew that those who advance conflict should never hold more power than those who defend the peace.  

Clandestine programs such as "Signature Reduction," "Target of Interest," "Phoenix," and "Non-investigative Subjects" effectively upend the Constitution in this regard.

President Biden inherited this problem from his predecessor, but he demonstrates a courageous unwillingness to tolerate it.  His courage gives the rest of us an opportunity to demonstrate our own commitment to one another's human rights as American citizens.

In order to reclaim the Constitution's brilliant and balanced blueprint for our democratic form of self-governance, all of us as Americans must demonstrate a singular commitment to the truth.

It may be difficult.  It may be revelatory. It may be disappointing.  It may be freeing.

But the truth is necessary for the life of our democracy, and we must insist on it.

Most sincerely,




Lane MacWilliams

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.
