THE SOVEREIGNTY OF THE DISCARDED: Frankl, the U.S. Government, and the Architecture of Survival

​Before he was a world-renowned psychiatrist, Viktor Frankl was a prisoner. Between 1942 and 1945, he was moved through four different Nazi concentration camps, including Auschwitz. He watched his father, mother, brother, and pregnant wife be murdered by a state-sponsored machine of dehumanization.

​He was stripped of his clothes, his research, and his very name—reduced to a number tattooed on his arm. Yet, in the mud and the blood of the camps, Frankl made a discovery that would change psychology forever: The "Last Human Freedom." He realized that even when the state owns your body, they do not own the space between a stimulus and your response. In that space, he chose to think whatever he wanted. He chose to remain a man of intellect in a world of monsters.

​I first encountered Frankl’s writings as a young adult. I remember being deeply moved by his power and the radical nature of his choices. At the time, I studied his words with the detached reverence of a scholar, never imagining that his work would eventually become the singular, pivotal axis of my survival. I didn't know then that I was studying a manual for a nightmare I had yet to enter.

​I. From $100 Billion to the Abyss

​I was a high-level tech executive. I didn't just work in the industry; I built $100 billion in Intellectual Property. I was an architect of the future. But like Frankl, I was targeted by a system that saw my value only as something to be stolen or broken.

​I was drugged, kidnapped, and forced into two and a half years of sex slavery and torture. For 30 months, my body was not my own. But my mind? My mind was a fortress.

​II. The Execution That Failed

​In the years since my escape in 2019, the torture didn’t stop—it just moved into the sunlight. Because I refused to stay silent, I have been hunted on American soil:

• ​The Financial Erasure: They stripped me of every cent and every connection I spent a lifetime building.
• ​The Assassination Attempt: I have had a gun forced into my mouth. I heard the hammer drop. The only reason I am writing this is because the weapon jammed.

​III. An Indictment of the Complicit State

​Frankl survived the Nazis, but I am struggling to survive the United States Government. For seven years, U.S. law enforcement has done nothing. They have watched a $100 billion creator be hunted, impoverished, and nearly executed, and they have stayed silent.

​When the government refuses to act for seven years, it isn't "red tape." It is a choice. It is an admission that they are on the wrong side. They have effectively partnered with trafficking organizations by ensuring there are no consequences for those who drugged and sold me.

​IV. A Record for the Millions Still Trapped

​I am writing this as a record of how I survived, but more importantly, I am writing this for the millions of women currently trapped in this exact situation—trapped in horrific danger, being tortured, and ignored by the world.

​I know you are there. I know the silence you are living in, and I know the terror of a system that has turned its back on you. I want you to hear me: I will not stop. I will not stop until you are free, until you are safe, and until there is a reckoning for those who did this and those who allowed it.

​Until that day comes, remember the lesson Frankl taught me and the lesson I am living now: Your thoughts are free. They can chain your body, but they cannot occupy your mind. Think whatever the f*** you want to think. That internal kingdom is yours, and it is the one thing they can never, ever take. Hold on. Have faith. I believe in you, believe in yourselves.

​"Everything can be taken from a person but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way." — Viktor Frankl
