Lane von Herzen: FBI Threatens Online Impersonation in Extending Threats to Unknown Recipients

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.

FBI Threatens Online Impersonation in Extending Threats to Unknown Recipients

OIG Hotline, the FBI appears to be threatening recent impersonation of me online in order to send hatemail to unknown recipients.

My daily signed statement delineates that I have never sent hatemail to anyone, nor have I threatened anyone.

If in fact the FBI has once again defamed me through online impersonation, please direct my representatives' attention to my daily statement.

Thank you for your support in this important regard.

Most sincerely,

Lane MacWilliams

P.S. -- Please allow me to once again extend the disclaimer that some threats received by me and extended by the FBI are unsubstantiated by me at this time. I regret that I am unable to assess the credibility of every threat extended by this agency or its affiliates, and also that I am not in a position to judge the likelihood of manifestation. Having said that, many of the FBI's threats toward my family in the past have manifested in real-world harms. As a result, I believe that FBI threats extended to me must be viewed as potentially substantive.
