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.

In Defense of the Defenseless

 1.  The FBI is demanding your puppies for what reason exactly?

Answer:  The FBI is afraid that the puppies represent certain verifiable facts regarding the agency's atrocities.

2.  Do they?

Answer:  Generally speaking, the FBI's fears of being caught are well-founded in fact.  So, I'm sure the agency is worried for genuine reasons, and I'm also sure they have no right to my dogs.

3.  Can't the FBI heal your dogs of all the problems the agency has caused?

Answer:  Of course it can.  There is simply an obstinacy and obstruction that are part of the culture of the FBI.  The agency doesn't like to admit being wrong.  And to reverse the harm to my dogs is to admit that the agency was wrong.

4.  The FBI has threatened to kill both you and your dogs if you insist that the dogs be rendered well.  Isn't that the case?

Answer:  Yes, it is.

5.  Do you believe the FBI has the capability to kill the dogs and to kill you yourself if you insist that your animals be restored?

Answer:  Oh, yes.  The FBI has the capability.

6.  So why won't you relent?

Answer:  To be clear, the FBI wants to kill and dissect my dogs.  It's not that the agency wants to run innocuous tests to see how they're functioning.  Further, the FBI has no specific need of my dogs in particular.  It is simply that the dogs are protective of me, and it is clear that I cherish them in turn.  These are the real reasons the FBI wants to claim my dogs for "scientific experimentation" to which I never consented.

The FBI would like to drag us all to the Island of Dr. Moreau, and I am declining.

My dogs have a right to their restored health, just as I have a right to my restored health, just as my family members have a right to their restored health.  And the FBI needs to comply with regard to all of these concerns.

7.  You are not willing to relinquish your dogs to euthanization and dissection by the FBI.

Answer:  I am not.

8.  Are the actions of the FBI in demanding your dogs reminiscent of some of the worst crimes of the Nazis toward animals?

Answer:  They are, without question.  The Nazis disallowed pet ownership among Jews simply because animals are such a source of love, sustenance, and joy within one's personal life, and there was a decided priority to steal from the Jews and other targeted populations everything good, virtuous, supportive, hopeful, meaningful, and renewing.

Of course, the Nazis were committing human atrocities that paralleled their atrocities against animals.

The experimentation on animals, children, and twins as a particular focus, was appalling from its inception and unconscionable at every stage of its implementation.

Overall, there was an attempt to dehumanize, impoverish and annihilate our most meaningful and loving bonds with others.

And this is exactly what we're seeing the FBI perpetrate at this time.

9.  You stand by your animals, and you will not abandon them.  Is that correct?

Answer:  Yes, it is.  The FBI's atrocities against my puppies and my two cats, one of whom died as a result of FBI crimes, are not their fault.  My dogs are extremely important to me as loving and protective companions, and I will not relinquish them to the horrors of FBI experimentation.

10.  And you feel this way even at the risk of your own life?

Answer:  Perhaps it's worth considering how many times my animals have risked their lives in order to protect mine.  I can only advocate for the long term sovereignty of the United States and the long term freedom of mankind if I am alive.  Without my beloved pets, I would not be here to say that our most loving bonds must not be relinquished at this most difficult juncture in the history of our nation.

My pets matter not only to me in this regard.  They also matter to many.

11.  Please keep us updated with regard to your pets' wellbeing, your family members' wellbeing, and your own.

Answer:  I most certainly will.
