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.

Updated: Why the U.S. Military Should Not Be Building Military Installations for Others

 1.  You have stated that the planned air force base at Mountain Home, Idaho, to be funded by the Qatari government, may have numerous underground and in-mountain installations that are associated with this initiative.

Answer:  That's correct, and further, there are other military base "expansions" planned within the United States and elsewhere that fit the same description.

2.  What is the risk with underground and in-mountain military installations within the United States that are funded by other nations and other interests?

Answer:  The risk is that they are hidden from the American public altogether, so the public is completely unable to assess risks to national sovereignty.

Whose primary interests are being served by the installations?  If the public does not have clarity regarding the reason behind this concealed construction, then we have no way of assessing whether our national interests are being fundamentally undermined.

3.  What are the risks inherent in going forward without full disclosure to the public?

Answer:  The risks are a de facto coup from above, frankly.

Underground and in-mountain military installations may not be intended for the use of our domestic military forces at all, but rather by others.

We need to pay close attention to the architecture that is being built surrounding new military installations at this time, expecially underground and in-mountain installations.

4.  Why?

Answer:  Because the possibility exists that the territorial integrity of the United States can be lost if we fail in this task.

Vast tracts of in-mountain installations can include not only military facilities, but also other kinds of development.

5.  What kind are you referring to in particular?

Answer:  Residential.  Large numbers of individuals can be housed and maintained within these type of facilities.  Veritable cities can be built underground or within mountain topology.  And the U.S. military is well aware of the risks inherent in building these vast facilities for others to exploit.

6.  Are there circumstances under which our military could be forced to build these facilities for others?

Answer:  Clearly, there are.  But that construction is dependent upon an ignorant public.  And that's why I am writing about this concern.

7.  Have underground facilities used by others already been built by the United States military?

Answer:  You are asking the right question.  The public has the obligation to ask about this, and our military leadership has the obligation to answer truthfully and completely.  Are there twelve such facilities planned to commence worldwide, ultimately increasing to fifty?  We need to know.

8.  What can halt the unwanted progression of these projects?

Answer:  Domestically, the Congress has the ability to halt them.  The DOJ has the ability to halt them. The Supreme Court has the ability to halt them.  The American people, once educated fully, have the ability to stop them.

Internationally, the United Nations and NATO have a critical role to play in halting them.

9.  Not the Executive Branch?

Answer:  The Executive Branch needs an assist, because of the unique pressures being brought to bear on them at this historical moment.

I believe that President Trump and Vice President Vance are well aware of the risks to the sovereignty of the United States if more of these facilities are allowed to go forward.

But they need other branches of government, and indeed, the American people, to raise their voices in objecting to these projects, and, in fact, preventing them altogether.  Our military should not be permitted to construct any facilities on U.S. territory that are to be inhabited by other nations or wielded by other interests.  And we should ask for an absolute legal barrier to that possibility.

Further, as I said, the public needs to be apprised of prior projects that have been completed, here and elsewhere around the world.

10.  Can you speak a little further about this concept of a coup from above?

Answer:  A "coup from above" can best be described as a "usurpation of the people's sovereignty." *1 Someone comes along with greater capabilities than our own and effectively holds our government hostage to their demands, even while the public is unaware of this process.  When finally the shift away from sovereign power is revealed, it's too late for the public to do anything meaningful to counter it.

11.  In what ways should we be paying close attention to the "architecture" which could allow such a disaster for humanity worldwide?

Answer:  Well, as I said, we need to be asking our military to answer some extensive questions about underground and in-mountain facilities that are planned, as well as those that have been completed, both domestically and elsewhere.

Beyond this, we need some assurances that data centers now being built all around the world will not be permanent fixtures for human society.

12.  Why?

Answer:  Because if these data centers are hosting information pertaining to knowingly falsified law enforcement reporting, then we are constructing the architecture of the demise of all future human rights in perpetuity.

We cannot allow false dossiers to be aggregated about everyone within these data centers, and, beyond them, the Cloud.

13.  May I ask why not?

Answer:  Because people can be summarily executed based on knowingly falsified law enforcement reporting, and in the long term, that will lead to an irretrievable dystopia for human societies the world over.

14.  Is this a hypothetical concern?

Answer:  I can only answer by saying that I have not spent the last eight years of my life laboring for the long term preservation of human rights based on a hypothetical concern.

15.  If President Trump knew that you were identifying these risks now, before they fully manifested, do you believe that he would halt their progression?

Answer:  I do, because President Trump has ambitions to lead in a manner that represents a historic defense of the best of America's potential.

President Trump does not wish to be later known to be the President who oversaw the loss of the sovereignty of the United States.

I believe he desires to be known as a President who ensured that the United States would rise to the position of global leadership regarding our most enduring worldwide concerns.

16.  And you have said that our military leadership does not want to be constructing underground and in-mountain facilities to be used by others.

Answer:  They most assuredly do not.

17.  Why do you think you have a say regarding some of these pressing concerns for our nation?

Answer:  I have a say because funds from my case have been wrongfully earmarked for a portion of this construction worldwide.  And I object to those appropriations.

18.  What would allow those appropriations, which are presumably being commandeered by Russia and other foreign adversaries, to stop?

Answer:  The appointment of an intermediary to resolve my concerns regarding my case to date would allow the misdirection of these funds from the National Treasury to be halted.  That may not be a public process, but it is critical for our national security going forward, and it is central to the security of our allies as well.

19.  Your sons and daughter in law are allegedly coming under horrific pressure at this time due to the wrongful efforts of Tom Lyons and his Russian cohort to cause them harm, to mischaracterize them as criminals, etc.  In fact, the FBI alleged that Tom Lyons just recently caused your younger son an extremely serious brain injury.  Your response?

Answer:  I do not have confirmation of these allegations, but I find them extremely troubling, to be sure.  I am endeavoring to reach my younger son to ascertain his condition, and I will be reporting back here with regard to my findings.  Certainly, if Tom Lyons has harmed my sons and daughter-in-law further, he will be effectively requesting legal accountability for his crimes.

20.  Please keep us updated with regard to your family's well-being and your own.

Answer:  Thank you very much for your concern.  I will make every effort to do so.

Professor Zuboff's book importantly discusses the manner in which large scale surveillance of the public has become a profitable government activity.  Professor Zuboff demonstrates both subtlety of mind and rich insights regarding the manner in which surveillance capitalism has arisen within Western societies and others.  That said, Professor Zuboff misunderstands the fundamental purpose of surveillance capitalism and fails to link it to larger and more momentous sociopolitical shifts.  Beyond this, she does not possess sufficient information about the attendant sequelae of surveillance capitalism, nor its transformative and perilous origins.  If Professor Zuboff characterizes the tail of the tiger with magnificent perceptive skill, she misses the beast to which it is attached.  The Age of Surveillance Capitalism is well worth reading with these critical caveats in mind.
