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.

United States Sovereignty Requires Safety from Taxation

 OIG Hotline, it seems appropriate to address the fact that criminal and civil liability judgements are not subject to federal or state taxes within the United States.

Accordingly, I do not expect that any awards extended in this case will be taxed by the IRS or state tax authorities under any lawful or established standard of jurisprudence or tax law.

The District of Columbia has a long history of legal tax precedent which has not included taxation of monetary judgements related to criminal or civil liability, and this well-established standard should not change when it pertains to my case or parallel cases.

Any departure from this standard practice would constitute ill-concealed graft that would be unacceptable in our efforts to defend the sovereignty of the United States.

To be clear, taxation of awards extended in my case, or parallel cases, could be utilized by the adversaries of American sovereignty to effectively co-opt the National Treasury of the United States to the detriment of our national security interests.

Therefore, it cannot be allowed to manifest.

Thank you for allowing me to express this serious concern.

Most sincerely,

Lane MacWilliams
