Lane von Herzen: The Just Response to the FBI's Predation Toward America's Children

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.

The Just Response to the FBI's Predation Toward America's Children

Sent to the attention of the OIG Hotline within lanemacwilliams@gmail.com, lanevonherzen@gmail.com and lanevonherzen1@gmail.com at 4:15 PM Pacific time:

OIG Hotline, please download the attached file if you are able to do so close to the time of sending, at 4:00 PM Pacific time today, February 18, 2026. The FBI only needs 2-3 hours to create credible AI-generated video, so the chances of falsification of this material increase with longer time duration prior to your access.

This documentation should immediately refute any false claims of lack of cogency or stability being put forward by the FBI.

For the record, I have never threatened anyone, nor will I. I do think it is permissible for me to disapprove of the men within the FBI who are responsible for trafficking my sons and daughter-in-law repeatedly. Indeed, my older son is being forced to attend "David's BBQ" by his handler today, entirely against his will. Expressions of disbelief, frustration, anger and outrage over the ongoing harm of my children is not only understandable, it is necessary. I do express my feelings regarding these predators when I am alone in my own home, refusing to burden others with my indignance over these appalling choices by others. This is my right, and I refuse to relinquish it.

The FBI should never ask the victims of its torture for silence, nor should it dare to ask the parents of FBI torture victims for silence.

Silence is acquiescence in this unacceptable hostage-taking, and I do not acquiesce.

Unlike the FBI, I believe in the rule of law, in due process, in restorative justice, and in peaceable dialogue.

Until I have access to those luxuries, I am free to raise my voice in my own home, and I will not be apologizing for my access to that freedom.

Is it right to feel outrage about the FBI's repeated rape, trafficking, torture, and sovereignty violations of America's children? It is.

Would we be worthy human beings if we didn't? No.

Could we possibly restore our worthy nation without outrage over these crimes by the FBI? Absolutely not.

So, we must be exceptionally careful that the torturers are not authorized to silence those they have so egregiously wronged.

Torturers do apparently feel shame when publicly exposed for their crimes. That's good! We can wield the FBI's shame over this issue to the great benefit of the nation; and if we fail to do so, we are remiss.

OIG Hotline, I am a peaceable person. But no one should view the repeated rape of her children as a peaceable act.

And none of us should ask Americans to be impassive, silent, disinterested, acquiescent, or neutral about this matter.

Americans should shout about it. Americans should rage about it. Americans should seek legal redress regarding it. And Americans should make sure it doesn't ruin the nation, as our adversaries would prefer.

Thank you for allowing me to express these most serious concerns.

Most sincerely,
