Lane von Herzen: Request for Intervention on Behalf of the National Interest

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.

Request for Intervention on Behalf of the National Interest

OIG Hotline, I have expressed previously that no invasion of my accounts should be permitted due to the fact that misappropriation of those funds only serves to weaken the sovereignty of the United States and the long term freedom of our people.

Despite this, the FBI appears to allege that misappropriation is still occurring.

Transparency and accountability must be added to this case so that these abuses cannot continue.

The DOJ, the Executive Branch, the Congress, and the Supreme Court are not able to halt these abuses without the awareness of the American public of the siphoning of these funds, which have such import for the future of the nation, and, indeed, the global issues of sustainability and human rights that accompany that shared future.

Outreach to me is vastly overdue.

Meanwhile, the FBI appears to be suggesting that they should be allowed to steal from these accounts in the name of "protection money" which will keep my children alive.

Good people of the OIG Hotline, my children have already been raped, trafficked and tortured because of unjustifiable FBI predation.

Do we really need to witness the agency's theft of funds awarded to us because of these crimes within the FBI's long indictment of own acts?

This is wrong on every level, and I expect others to reject the suggestion by the FBI and its affiliate agencies that any peace can be achieved through these means.

The FBI and its affiliates cannot be allowed to profiteer from torture its personnel have perpetrated.

And that means that false accusations against my family members and myself must be halted decisively and permanently by leaders who are determined to demonstrate their worth -- not in misappropriated funds, but in character.

I ask for wisdom, courage, temperance and a love of justice because these are the qualities of leadership which I myself possess.

I do not demand of others the standards I myself do not exemplify.

This situation requires that all marshal the highest ethics and integrity. I cannot be demonstrating those qualities alone.

I ask that misappropriated funds be returned to the accounts from which they were taken -- those bearing my name, variations of my name, or affiliated with my identity.

Further, I ask that outreach be extended to me on an urgent basis.

I do not want to be receiving suggestions from the FBI that I should start a consulting business. Due to potential conflicts of interest, that cannot and will not happen.

Rather, I am seeking non-profit Board positions, non-compensated, that reflect my values and passionate interests in the wellbeing of the nation.

I will appreciate your determined intervention regarding this matter.

Most sincerely,
