Lane von Herzen: Alleged FBI Extortion Demands Toward GTM and DSM, August 6, 2025

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.

Alleged FBI Extortion Demands Toward GTM and DSM, August 6, 2025

OIG Hotline, my communications to my sons regarding the honor and lawfulness of my husband are not confidential at this time, nor are my communications to your Office regarding this important subject.

For the FBI to have conveyed serious illnesses to both of my sons and to now be demanding false witness statements from them with an intent to take our lives is beyond reprehensible.

While I do understand that the FBI is desperately trying to avoid the lawful provision of all materials responsive to my Access to Information request of the Canadian Human Rights Commission, the agency must cease its appalling aggression toward my family at this time and allow that lawful conveyance of information to occur.

I appreciate your vigorous efforts in ensuring that the CHRC is supported in doing so.

Most sincerely,
