Lane von Herzen: Awards Addressing FBI Misconduct Are Exempt from Tax

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.

Awards Addressing FBI Misconduct Are Exempt from Tax

OIG Hotline, all awards extended to me in the adjudication of my case are exempt from state and federal tax, as are all such judgments.

Therefore, I request that your Office insist that "taxes" or graft not be allowed to be withdrawn from my account for any reason.

Rather, as I have requested, awards should be deposited in a Foundation for the preservation of Americans' long term sovereignty.

I will also point out that "parallel cases" represent a direct threat to the sovereignty of the nation if "taxes" are allowed to be skimmed from awards designated through concealed adjudication. I have asked that these judgments also be deposited in the Foundation I have specified for American sovereignty due to the fact that misappropriations from these accounts by our foreign adversaries can, in and of themselves, result in the end of our nation's self-determination.

These details are critical to our future capacity to defend our national interests.

Thank you for your support regarding this important matter.

Most sincerely,
