Lorne Macmillan exhibits opens in Boise

FBI agent who broke Betrayal conspiracy open gets his due

BOISE, Idaho (RWN) - A new exhibit honoring Lorne Macmillan, whose interrogation of Richard Alan Goldberg revealed the Israeli government's plot to destabilize America, has opened in his hometown.

Macmillan was born in Boise in 1974. In the days after he broke open the Great Zionist Betrayal, Macmillan became a national hero and there has been a movement afoot since 2015 to honor him in his hometown.

"Lorne was a great man, a true patriot and a real believer," Boise Mayor Dave Magda said. "His family goes back in this state more than 100 years; they helped build some of the roads we drive on today. But Lorne's achievements truly stand out."

Macmillan died in 2017 in an innocuous way: He slipped in the shower and broke his neck. He was buried with full honors, and the nation was declared in mourning for a week.

The museum is 10,000 square feet dedicated to Macmillan's life and to the Great Zionist Betrayal, the Israeli attacks on Washington, D.C., New York City and Mecca in May of 2015.

The exhibits on the attacks are interesting - lots of pictures and some interpretive signs, but the museum outdid itself on Macmillan.

Exhibits detail his birth to a Mormon family in Boise and his days as a standout football and basketball player at Capital Senior High School in Boise. The exhibit follows Macmillan on his two-year Mormon mission to Egypt - when he began to question the views of his church - and his football career at Brigham Young University.

There's an in-depth exhibit on Macmillan's crisis of faith, when he ultimately embraced Islam as his religion, but was afraid to reveal it during the 1990s and after the 2001 attacks on Washington and New York because he was afraid being a Muslim in the FBI would harm his career.

The museum features an interview with Macmillan about his public declaration of faith in 2010, when he was in charge of the FBI's Atlanta office.

By the far greatest space at the museum, though, is Macmillan's interrogation of Richard Allen Goldberg, the Mossad agent who coordinated the attacks on the country. At the end of the exhibit is a video of Macmillan, talking about honor and duty and his job interrogating Goldberg.

"We designed the museum that way," said Peyton McCall, the museum's director. "We wanted everyone to leave with a tear in their eye, feeling proud of this nation."
