David Eden Lane (November 2, 1938 – May 28, 2007) was an American domestic terrorist, white separatist,[1] neo-Nazi,[2] and convicted felon.[3][4][5] A member of the terror organization The Order, he was convicted and sentenced to 190 years in prison for racketeering, conspiracy, and violation of the civil rights of Alan Berg, a Jewish radio talk show host, who prosecutors claimed was murdered by a member of the group through drive-by shooting with Lane acting as driver, though they were unsuccessful in getting murder convictions.[6][7] He died while incarcerated at the Federal Correctional Complex in Terre Haute, Indiana.[8]

Lane coined the "Fourteen Words", a well known white supremacist slogan in North America. He has been described by the Southern Poverty Law Center as "one of the most important ideologues of contemporary white supremacy".[3]

Background

Lane was born as the third of four siblings in Woden, Iowa; he had a brother and two sisters. His father was an alcoholic migrant worker who was physically abusive toward his wife and children. Lane would later claim that his father forced his mother to engage in prostitution so he could obtain "booze money", and that his older brother was rendered permanently deaf as a result of a "beating gone awry".[9] When Lane was four years old, his father abandoned his family. In 1944, his older brother was arrested after searching for food in a neighbor's trash bins, and he and his sisters were placed in foster care. Lane was soon adopted by a traveling Lutheran minister, which resulted in Lane being separated from his two sisters. Lane described his adoptive father as a "doctrinaire fundamentalist from the old school".[10]

Lane rejected Christianity, which he found boring. Inspired by Nazi religious beliefs, Lane later favored pagan beliefs as a more authentic ancestral "white" religion, as opposed to what he viewed as Jewish influenced Christianity.[10][11] Travelling across the Midwestern United States with his adoptive family, Lane finally settled in Aurora, Colorado, where he attended Aurora Central High School. Originally aspiring to become a golf professional,[12] Lane worked as a real estate broker until his license was revoked because he "wouldn't sell homes to coloreds in white neighborhoods".[13]

Lane claimed that he first became attracted to women of the "Caucasian race" after befriending a blonde-haired girl in first grade.[9] Lane stated that while he reenacted battles with his foster brother as a child, he portrayed a Nazi stormtrooper while his brother portrayed an American soldier.[9] Lane was briefly a member of the John Birch Society before joining the Ku Klux Klan, becoming the organizer of the Denver unit of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan in 1979. In late 1981, Lane became Colorado State Organizer of Aryan Nations.[13]

Lane met Robert Jay Mathews in July 1983 at the Aryan Nations world congress.[14] On September 22, 1983, Lane was among the nine founding members to be sworn into The Order, a white supremacist group whose mission was to "deliver our people from the Jew and bring total victory to the Aryan race."[15] The Order was accused of stealing over $4.1 million in armored car hijackings, killing three people (one of whom was Order member Walter E. West), detonating bombs, counterfeiting money, organizing militaristic training camps and carrying out numerous other crimes with the ultimate goal of overthrowing the "Zionist occupational government" they deemed in control of the United States and to "liberate the Pacific Northwest as a homeland for whites" in the process (see Northwest Territorial Imperative).[16]

Convictions and incarceration

For his role in The Order's crimes, Lane was sentenced to consecutive sentences totaling 190 years, including 20 years for racketeering, 20 years for conspiracy, both under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), and 150 years for violating the civil rights of Alan Berg, a Jewish radio talk show host who was murdered on June 18, 1984.[6][7][8][17] Berg was shot and killed in the driveway of his Denver home by three members of The Order.[18] Lane was arrested on the evening of March 30, 1985, in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.[19] While he did not pull the trigger, prosecutors said Lane drove the getaway car and played a large role in the planning of Berg's assassination.[20][21]

Lane was also among 14 men prosecuted for seditious conspiracy in Fort Smith, Arkansas, but he was acquitted. Lane was considered extremely dangerous by the American justice system and was incarcerated at various times after his conviction in the United States Penitentiary, Marion, the United States Penitentiary Administrative Maximum Facility in Florence, Colorado, and the Federal Correctional Complex, Terre Haute.[citation needed]

While incarcerated, he had the Federal Bureau of Prisons ID # 12873–057.[22] Lane wrote books and articles about gematria and the demographic and sociopolitical status of the white race for white nationalist periodicals and websites. With his wife and Ron McVan, he ran a publishing company called 14 Word Press in Idaho to disseminate his writings.[23]

He was featured in Nazi Pop Twins, a documentary aired on July 19, 2007, on Channel 4 in the UK.[24] In it he was shown speaking by phone with Prussian Blue (the music act from the documentary) and termed them "fantasy sweethearts" and that he viewed them like daughters.[25]

Lane's earliest possible release date from prison would have been on March 29, 2035 (at age 96). He died on May 28, 2007, in FCC Terre Haute due to an epileptic seizure.[5] On June 30, 2007, white supremacists held memorial demonstrations for Lane in cities across the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Russia, and Ukraine.[26]

Beliefs

Racial beliefs

Lane stated that his beliefs can be best summarized by a slogan he called the "Fourteen Words": "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for White children." He also coined a second 14-word slogan: "because the beauty of the White Aryan woman must not perish from the earth."[9]

88 Precepts

While he was in prison, Lane wrote the 88 Precepts as a treatise on his views on race, politics, and philosophy. Lane viewed these as the principles behind the two "Fourteen Words" slogans. The 88 Precepts are critical of democracy and oppose government under the claim of taxation as theft. They also promoted servant leadership, a Deistic theological view, and rejected racial integration, calling it a "euphemism" for "White genocide". Lane's writing also sought to establish a white ethnostate in North America and in Eastern Europe.

"88 Precepts" is one of several key texts, printed and distributed through 14 Word Press, including the "White Genocide Manifesto" (which contained 14 key points).[27]

As in his other writings, Lane repeats the claim that white people are threatened by a lack of exclusive territorial hegemony and "forced racial mixing".[28] Lane viewed the United States government as part of a Zionist conspiracy.[29][30]

Consistent with the restrictive gender roles which were practiced within Aryan Nations, precept 35 of "88 Precepts" regards homosexuality as unnatural and it also views sex as an act of reproduction which should be performed for the sole purpose of increasing the size of the white population. Lane views sex as a motivation for male subjugation of women, who are expected to be subservient. Lane advises men to subjugate women via power and control of territory, and he also advises white men to take arms for this purpose.[31]

According to its web site, the United Klans of America viewed the 88 Precepts as "a source for which we can ascertain lasting truths".[32]

Wotansvolk

Lane was one of the founders of the Wotansvolk movement, a racist, neo-völkisch[33] form of Odinism (or Heathenry) which he formed with his wife Katja in 1995 in order to promote his ideology[3] which pursued a program of concerted outreach to prisoners.[34] Wotansvolk combines an "Aryan call to arms" with an esoteric teaching, partially based on Jungian psychology, völkish philosophy, and National Socialism.[35] Lane distanced himself from universalist Odinists (including "folkish Asatru") who did not embrace "survival of the Aryan race" as a core part of the movement.[36] Lane argued with Stephen McNallen, then leader of the Asatru Folk Assembly when Lane was alive.[37] By 2017, McNallen came out with support for Lane's 14 Words, quoting them verbatim.[33]

Aiming to foment a white revolution, Wotansvolk endorsed "leaderless resistance," a strategy which was popularized by Louis Beam, a Klan veteran and a longtime friend of the Lane family.[35] However, 14 Word Press and Temple of Wotan are defunct organizations and as a result no longer have mailing addresses or websites, although Wotanism is still practiced by independent kindreds.

Portraying Sir Francis Bacon and Shakespeare as being "adept in ancient divine wisdom" and believing that the pyramids were built by "Aryan architects", Lane taught a belief called the "Pyramid Prophecy 666",[34] which included the concept that a Bible code was inserted by "Aryan adepts" within the King James Version of the Christian Bible. Lane's alleged deciphered code described him as being the "man" who is described in the Book of Revelation, with America being the Beast, but that belief was censored by Ron McVan and other strategists who believed that Lane's Messianic / Anti-Christ claims would be counterproductive by "turning off potential converts".[38] Lane also issued a declaration called "Moral Authority", which calls the United States a "Red, White, and Blue travelling mass murder machine" intent on committing genocide against white people. According to the declaration, "true moral authority belongs to those who resist" this purported genocide.[9] Lane claimed that was the "666 Sun Man" and that America was the "Beast", and that "14-88" was an integral part of coding in his "Pyramid Prophecy"[30] and was fundamental Wotanism (with "88 Lines and 14 Words" being a supplement to 88 Precepts). 1488 is a combination of 14 as in Lane's Fourteen Words and 88, a white nationalist/supremacist abbreviation for "Heil Hitler."[39]
