'''David Eden Lane''' (November 2, 1938&nbsp;– May 28, 2007) was an American [[Neo-Nazism|neo-Nazi]] and a co-founder of the white supremacist organization [[The Order (white supremacist group)|The Order]]. For his actions as part of The Order, Lane was convicted and sentenced to 190 years in prison for [[racketeering]], [[Conspiracy (crime)|conspiracy]], and the 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 via a [[drive-by shooting]] with Lane acting as driver, though they were unsuccessful in getting [[murder]] convictions.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |date=June 17, 2009 |title=The murder of Alan Berg in Denver: 25 years later |url=https://www.denverpost.com/2009/06/17/the-murder-of-alan-berg-in-denver-25-years-later/ |access-date=November 18, 2019 |website=[[The Denver Post]] |language=en-US}}</ref><ref name=":1">{{Cite web |title=David Lane |url=https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/individual/david-lane |access-date=November 18, 2019 |website=Southern Poverty Law Center |language=en}}</ref> He died while incarcerated at the [[FCI Terre Haute]] in [[Terre Haute, Indiana]].<ref name="9news">{{Cite news |last1=Boniface |first1=Dan |last2=Herdy |first2=Amy |date=May 29, 2007 |title=Getaway driver in radio talk show host murder dies in prison |url=http://www.9news.com/rss/story.aspx?storyid=70991 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120703014854/http://www.9news.com/rss/story.aspx?storyid=70991 |archive-date=July 3, 2012 |access-date=April 18, 2018 |website=[[KUSA (TV)|KUSA]] |location=Terre Haute |language=en-US}}</ref>

While in prison, Lane wrote many white supremacist materials and 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".<ref name=":1" />

==Early life==
David Lane was born November 2, 1938 in [[Woden, Iowa]].{{sfn|Atkins|2011|p=174}}{{sfn|Nic Dháibhéid|2017|p=173}} At the time of his birth, the town was largely populated by Germanic immigrants.{{sfn|Nic Dháibhéid|2017|pp=173–176}} Lane was the third of four siblings, with a brother and two sisters.{{sfn|Atkins|2011|pp=174–175}}<ref name="adl" /> His father was an alcoholic itinerant worker who was physically abusive toward his wife and children;<ref name="adl" />{{sfn|Atkins|2011|p=174}} Lane described his father as "a truly despicable creature", and described his mother as an "uneducated [...] farm girl".{{sfn|Nic Dháibhéid|2017|pp=173–176}} In one instance, his father beat Lane's older brother Roger so severely that he was rendered permanently deaf.<ref name="adl">{{Cite web |url=http://www.adl.org/learn/ext_us/lane.asp?xpicked=2&item=lane |title=David Lane |website=[[Anti-Defamation League]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081103094309/http://www.adl.org/learn/ext_us/lane.asp?xpicked=2&item=lane |archive-date=November 3, 2008}}</ref> When Lane was four years old, his father abandoned his family.{{sfn|Atkins|2011|pp=174–175}} In 1944, Roger was found searching for food in a neighbor's trash bins, and Lane and his sisters were placed in an [[orphanage]].{{sfn|Nic Dháibhéid|2017|pp=173–176}}

After being placed in state care Lane was separated from and lost contact with his biological family.{{sfn|Nic Dháibhéid|2017|pp=173–176}} He was soon adopted by a traveling [[Lutheran]] minister.{{sfn|Gardell|2000|p=167}}{{sfn|Nic Dháibhéid|2017|pp=173–176}} With his new family he moved frequently.{{sfn|Nic Dháibhéid|2017|pp=173–176}} Traveling across the [[Midwestern United States]] with his adoptive family, Lane finally settled in [[Aurora, Colorado]], where he attended [[Hinkley High School]].{{sfn|Flynn|Gerhardt|1989|p=215}}{{sfn|Atkins|2011|p=175}} His adoptive family was strictly Christian, which contributed to Lane's distaste for Christianity.{{sfn|Gardell|2000|p=167}} As an adult, he changed his last name back to his biological father's surname, rather than that of his adopted family.{{sfn|Flynn|Gerhardt|1989|p=215}} He attended a community college, which he left after one semester despite obtaining good grades.{{sfn|Atkins|2011|p=175}}

== White supremacy ==
Lane claims that he rejected [[Christianity]] early in life, finding the faith boring.{{sfn|Nic Dháibhéid|2017|pp=173–176}} Lane later favored pagan beliefs as a more authentic ancestral "white" religion, as opposed to what he viewed as Jewish influenced Christianity.<ref name=":1" />{{sfn|Gardell|2000|p=167}} Lane claimed that he first became attracted to women of the  "[[Caucasian race]]" after befriending a blonde-haired girl in first grade.<ref name="adl" />{{sfn|Nic Dháibhéid|2017|pp=173–176}} 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.<ref name="adl" /> It is uncertain how true some of these claims are.{{sfn|Nic Dháibhéid|2017|pp=173–176}}

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.{{sfn|Schwartz|1996|p=64}}  Originally aspiring to become a golf professional, Lane worked as a [[real estate broker]] starting in 1973, but his license was revoked because he "wouldn't sell homes to [[coloreds]] in white neighborhoods".{{sfn|Schwartz|1996|p=64}}{{sfn|Nic Dháibhéid|2017|pp=174–178}} In 1979, his biological sister Jane tracked him down, and Lane regained contact with his biological family for the first time in several decades.{{sfn|Nic Dháibhéid|2017|pp=174–178}} He became close again with his brother; he died during Lane's trial, which Lane blamed on federal agents targeting him. His other sister did not share his views, but Jane had also become a white supremacist and was married to the leader of the Pennsylvania branch of [[Aryan Nations]], Carl Franklin.{{sfn|Nic Dháibhéid|2017|pp=174–178}} This contact with Jane and her husband led to Lane making contact with Aryan Nations.{{sfn|Nic Dháibhéid|2017|pp=174–178}} In late 1981, Lane became Colorado State Organizer of Aryan Nations.{{sfn|Schwartz|1996|p=64}} He distributed his first pamphlet, "The Death of the White Race", in the Denver area, leading to publicity and attention from the [[Anti-Defamation League]]; he claimed that the Denver police attempted to assassinate him by helicopter after this.{{sfn|Nic Dháibhéid|2017|pp=174–178}}

Lane met [[Robert Jay Mathews]] in July 1983 at the Aryan Nations world congress.{{sfn|Goodrick-Clarke|2003|p=270}} On September 22, 1983, Lane was among the nine founding members to be sworn into [[The Order (white supremacist group)|The Order]], a white supremacist group led by Mathews whose mission was to "deliver our people from the [[Jew]] and bring total victory to the [[Aryan race]]."{{sfn|Gardell|2003|p=193}} The Order was accused of stealing over $4.1 million during 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 "[[The Zionist Occupation Government conspiracy theory|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]]).<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1987/11/08/us/jury-told-of-plan-to-kill-radio-host.html |title=Jury Told of Plan to Kill Radio Host |newspaper=[[The New York Times]] |date=November 8, 1987 |access-date=August 25, 2007}}</ref>

==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 (crime)|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.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" /><ref name="9news" /><ref>{{Cite news | url=https://www.nytimes.com/1986/02/07/us/5-neo-nazis-get-stiff-sentences-for-crime-spree.html |title=5 Neo-Nazis Get Stiff Sentences For Crime Spree | newspaper=[[The New York Times]] |date=February 7, 1986 |first=Wallace |last=Turner |access-date=August 25, 2007}}</ref> Berg was shot and killed in the driveway of his [[Denver]] home by three members of The Order.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1985/09/21/us/witness-in-racist-trial-identifies-gunman-in-slaying-of-radio-host.html |title=Witness in Racist Trial Identifies Gunman in Slaying of Radio Host |newspaper=The New York Times |date=September 21, 1985 |access-date=August 25, 2007}}</ref> Lane was arrested on the evening of March 30, 1985, in [[Winston-Salem, North Carolina]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1985/04/01/us/around-the-nation-another-suspect-held-in-radio-host-s-death.html|title=Another Suspect Held In Radio Host's Death|date=April 1, 1985|newspaper=The New York Times|access-date=August 25, 2007}}</ref> 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.<ref name=":1" /><ref>{{Cite news |url= http://www.denverpost.com/2009/06/17/the-murder-of-alan-berg-in-denver-25-years-later/ |title=The murder of Alan Berg in Denver: 25 years later |newspaper=[[The Denver Post]] |last1=Simpson |first1=Kevin |last2=Blevins |first2=Jason |last3=Auge |first3=Karen |date=June 17, 2009 |access-date=October 11, 2017}}</ref>

Lane was also among 14 men prosecuted for [[seditious conspiracy]] in [[Fort Smith, Arkansas]], but he was [[acquittal|acquitted]]. Lane was considered extremely dangerous and thus held in high-security facilities such [[United States Penitentiary, Marion]], the [[ADX Florence|United States Penitentiary Administrative Maximum Facility]] in [[Florence, Colorado]], and the [[FCI Terre Haute]].{{Citation needed|date=November 2019}}

While incarcerated, he had the [[Federal Bureau of Prisons]] ID # 12873–057.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.bop.gov/iloc2/InmateFinderServlet?Transaction=NameSearch&needingMoreList=false&FirstName=david&Middle=eden&LastName=lane&Race=U&Sex=U&Age=&x=0&y=0 |title=David Eden Lane |website=[[Federal Bureau of Prisons]] |access-date=May 25, 2010 |archive-date=June 29, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110629165804/http://www.bop.gov/iloc2/InmateFinderServlet?Transaction=NameSearch&needingMoreList=false&FirstName=david&Middle=eden&LastName=lane&Race=U&Sex=U&Age=&x=0&y=0 |url-status=dead }}</ref> 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.{{sfn|Gardell|2004|pp=205–206}}

He was featured in ''[[Nazi Pop Twins]]'', a documentary aired on July 19, 2007, on [[Channel 4]] in the UK.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.channel4.com/culture/microsites/N/nazi_pop/ |title=Nazi Pop Twins |website=[[Channel 4]] |year=2007 |access-date=August 17, 2007 |archive-date=October 13, 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071013204446/http://www.channel4.com/culture/microsites/N/nazi_pop/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> In it, he was shown speaking by phone with [[Prussian Blue (duo)|Prussian Blue]] (the music act from the documentary) and termed them "fantasy sweethearts" and that he viewed them like daughters.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.splcenter.org/blog/2007/08/08/the-gaede-bunch-%e2%80%98a-is-for-aryan%e2%80%99/ |title=The Gaede Bunch: 'A is for Aryan' |website=Hatewatch |publisher=[[Southern Poverty Law Center]] |date=August 8, 2007 |access-date=August 17, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070930185750/http://www.splcenter.org/blog/2007/08/08/the-gaede-bunch-%E2%80%98a-is-for-aryan%E2%80%99/ |archive-date=September 30, 2007 }}</ref>

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 [[FCI Terre Haute]] due to an [[epilepsy|epileptic seizure]].<ref name="RMN">{{Cite news |last=Flynn |first=Kevin |date=May 29, 2007 |title=White supremacist, talk show host killer dies in prison |url=http://www.rockymountainnews.com/drmn/local/article/0,1299,DRMN_15_5561093,00.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070703182105/http://www.rockymountainnews.com/drmn/local/article/0%2C1299%2CDRMN_15_5561093%2C00.html |archive-date=July 3, 2007 |access-date=August 17, 2007 |newspaper=[[Rocky Mountain News]]}}</ref>{{sfn|Atkins|2011|p=176}} On June 30, 2007, white supremacists held memorial demonstrations for Lane in cities across the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Russia, and Ukraine.<ref>{{Cite journal |url=https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/intelligence-report/2007/terrorist-14-words-author-dies-prison |title=Terrorist, '14 Words' Author, Dies in Prison |journal=Intelligence Report |publisher=Southern Poverty Law Center |issue=Fall 2007 |date=October 1, 2007 |access-date=December 16, 2016}}</ref>

==Beliefs==
{{Neo-Nazism sidebar|people}}
===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."<ref name="adl"/>

====88 Precepts====
While he was in prison, Lane wrote the '''88 Precepts''' as a treatise on his views on [[Race (human categorization)|race]], politics, and philosophy (88 is a common [[Dog whistle (politics)|dog-whistle]] to praise Adolf Hitler, as "Heil Hitler" uses the eighth letter of the English alphabet, H, for the start of both words). Lane viewed these as the principles behind the two "Fourteen Words" slogans. The ''88 Precepts'' are [[Criticism of democracy|critical of democracy]] and oppose government under the claim of [[taxation as theft]]. They also promoted [[servant leadership]], a [[Deism|Deistic]] theological view, and rejected [[racial integration]], calling it a "euphemism" for "[[White genocide conspiracy theory|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).<ref>{{Citation | last = Rider | first = Sarah | title = Tolerating Intolerance: Resisting the Urge to Silence Student Opinion in the Writing Classroom | url=http://www.nwp.org/cs/public/print/resource/531 | access-date = 2007-09-29}}</ref> 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".<ref>{{Citation | last = Anti-Defamation League | title = David Lane | url=http://www.adl.org/learn/ext_us/lane.asp |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110517113847/http://www.adl.org/learn/Ext_US/lane.asp|archive-date=May 17, 2011 | access-date = November 18, 2019}}</ref> Lane viewed the United States government as part of a [[Zionist]] conspiracy.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Swedish Academic Mattias Gardell Discusses the Rise of Neo-Paganism in America |url=https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/intelligence-report/2001/swedish-academic-mattias-gardell-discusses-rise-neo-paganism-america |access-date=11 April 2023 |work=Intelligence Report |publisher=Southern Poverty Law Center |date=Spring 2001 |language=en}}</ref>{{sfn|Gardell|2003|p=192}}

Consistent with the restrictive [[gender role]]s which were practiced within [[Aryan Nations]], precept 35 of "88 Precepts" regards [[homosexuality]] as unnatural and also views [[Sexual intercourse|sex]] as an act of reproduction which should be performed for the sole purpose of increasing the size of the white population. Lane also considers 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 up arms for this purpose.{{sfn|Lazebnik|2013|pp=210–211}} According to its web site, the [[United Klans of America]] viewed the 88 Precepts as "a source for which we can ascertain lasting truths".{{sfn|Balleck|2019|pp=336–337}}

===Wotansvolk===
{{main|Wotansvolk}}
Lane was one of the founders of the [[Wotansvolk]] movement, a [[Racism|racist]], neo-''[[Völkisch movement|völkisch]]''<ref name=neo-volkisch>{{Cite web |title=Neo-Volkisch |url=https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/ideology/neo-volkisch |website=Southern Poverty Law Center |access-date=August 8, 2018 |language=en}}</ref> form of [[Heathenry (new religious movement)|Odinism]] (or [[Heathenry (new religious movement)|Heathenry]]) which he formed with his wife Katja in 1995 in order to promote his ideology<ref name=":1" /> which pursued a program of concerted outreach to prisoners.{{sfn|Gardell|2003|p=381}} Wotansvolk combines an "Aryan call to arms" with an [[Western esotericism|esoteric]] teaching, partially based on [[Analytical psychology|Jungian psychology]], völkish philosophy, and [[Nazism|National Socialism]].{{sfn|Gardell|2014|p=389}} Lane distanced himself from [[Heathenry (new religious movement)#Racial issues|universalist Odinists]] (including "folkish Asatru") who did not embrace "survival of the Aryan race" as a core part of the movement.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.haaretz.com/us-news/what-are-the-14-words-everyones-been-freaking-out-about-1.5482606 |title=What Are the '14 Words' Everyone's Been Freaking Out About? |date=August 12, 2018 |newspaper=[[Haaretz]] |access-date=August 12, 2018}}</ref> Lane argued with [[Stephen McNallen]], then leader of the [[Asatru Folk Assembly]] when Lane was alive.{{sfn|Gardell|2003|p=280}} By 2017, McNallen came out with support for Lane's 14 Words, quoting them verbatim.<ref name=neo-volkisch/>

Aiming to foment a white revolution, Wotansvolk endorsed "[[leaderless resistance]]," a strategy which was popularized by [[Louis Beam]], a [[Ku Klux Klan|Klan]] veteran and a longtime friend of the Lane family.{{sfn|Gardell|2014|p=389}} 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 [[Kindred (Heathenism)|kindreds]].

Portraying [[Sir Francis Bacon]] and [[Shakespeare]] as being "adept in ancient divine wisdom" and believing that the [[Egyptian pyramids|pyramids]] were built by "Aryan architects", Lane taught a belief called the "Pyramid Prophecy 666",{{sfn|Gardell|2003|p=381}} 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 (Revelation)|the Beast]], but that belief was censored by Ron McVan and other strategists who believed that Lane's [[Messiah|Messianic]] / [[Anti-Christ]] claims would be counterproductive by "turning off potential converts".{{sfn|Gardell|2003|p=382}} Lane also issued a declaration called "Moral Authority", which calls the United States a "[[Flag of the United States|Red, White, and Blue]] travelling mass murder machine" intent on committing [[White genocide conspiracy theory|genocide against white people]]. According to the declaration, "true moral authority belongs to those who resist" this purported genocide.<ref name="adl"/> 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"{{sfn|Gardell|2003|pp=381–382}} 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 (number)#In white nationalism|88]], a white nationalist/supremacist abbreviation for "[[Nazi salute|Heil Hitler]]."<ref>{{Cite news |date=May 30, 2007 |title=David Lane, White Supremacist Terrorist and Ideologue, Dies in Prison |url=https://www.adl.org/news/article/david-lane-white-supremacist-terrorist-and-ideologue-dies-in-prison |access-date=November 18, 2019 |work=[[Anti-Defamation League]] |language=en-US}}</ref>
