Dead Constitution See other Dead Constitution Articles Title: Check Out Irwin Schiff's Extensive Website - While It's Still There Renown tax protester Irwin Schiff tragically died in an Indiana prison yesterday. The feisty 87-year-old left quite a legacy and a lot of writings behind. The Orange County Register, a libertarian-leaning mainstream newspaper in Southern California, snidely remarked "Income taxes are voluntary! (If you like prison food)" in a 2010 article about Schiff. They go over a long list of 'Schiff wanna-bees' who are also in prison. A 62 page document from the IRS titled THE TRUTH ABOUT FRIVOLOUS TAX ARGUMENTS was released in March 2014. The document refers to Irwin Schiff and his cases numerous times, to prove that his contentions are no-winners. Excerpts: Ironically, I just wrote an article about Schiff ten days before he died: Libertarians Asking 'Anti-IRS' GOP Candidates If They Would Give A Presidential Pardon To Imprisoned 87-Year-Old Tax Protester Irwin Schiff (10/6/15.) Irwin Schiff left behind a very extensive website which includes video interviews and conferences with him, radio podcasts, many links and documents, free copies of his books, multiple dozens- perhaps hundreds- of court filings, and many opinionated angry columns from the tax researcher who had basically contended that he did not have to pay income tax because he was an individual, not a corporation. I do not suggest anyone try Schiff's arguments or tactics because they are obviously a losing lot. Sherry Peel Jackson went to prison for not filing, too. Ed and Elaine Brown are in their 70's and are in prison for many years to come. The U.S. Dept. of Treasury is auctioning off their home next week! Irwin Schiff was featured in Aaron Russo's film AMERICA: FREEDOM TO FASCISM. My friend Pete Nosan headed up the California Chapter of Aaron Russo's group 'Restore the Republic.' Pete was active in what he called the 'tax honesty' movement, and he stopped filing his tax returns because he believed that he did not owe income taxes to the government. This week marks the seven year anniversary of Pete Nosan's suicide. The IRS had come after him, showed up at his job, and garnered his wages. You can read his story here. In 2008 I interview Joe Bannister and his lawyer Jeff Dickstein.: Joe Bannisters Lawyer Warns Non-Filers 'You Risk Going To Jail- Be Prepared To Lose Everything You Have'. Watch the video below. Believe it or not Pete Nosan was standing right there when I recorded this interview, in Newport Beach. Nevertheless. Here is Schiff's website. It's interesting from a historical perspective, especially if one likes to read legal stuff like I do. On the front page of his website PayNoIncomeTax.com, Schiff posts what he calls the "Transcript of Irwin Schiff Kangroo court "trial" and writes: Schiff continues and urges readers " But remember we are now dealing with the Federal Mafia and my website may be in danger, so download and save as much material as you can.": Referring to his book The Federal Mafia- How the government illegally imposes and unlawfully collects income taxes, Schiff writes: The Federal Mafia exposes every facet of the governments illegal enforcement of the income tax and will convince you that Organized Crime in America begins with The Federal Government which is why the federal government has enjoined me from selling the book, so now I'm posting it for FREE!

I remember speaking with Irwin on Peter Ford's (son of the late Glenn Ford) radio show in Los Angeles in 1995. Irwin was educating everybody on the truth about social security. So I called in and briefly spoke with Mr. Ford and Irwin. I wish I had met Irwin. He really knew his stuff. Just like Dan Meador. Gone just like that. R.I.P. Schiff. He was a true patriot. You might want to get his book, The Federal Mafia, before it gets banned.
My God, this is a rich thread indeed. Thanks for cluing us about Peter Ford -- don't think I've ever heard mention of him. I met Irwin several times -- longtime ally of my late friend and mentor Robert Clarkson. Very Jewish but a great hero. A golden age of tax truth heroism is crashing along with most everything else good.
Yes, I knew of Peter back in the days of his radio show in 1995. I later attended a christmas party of his in Dec of '97 in Beverly Hills, Ca. I got a chance to meet him, Congressman James Rogan, and finally David Horowitz, author of the book "Radical Son". Horowitz's book was an eye opener which talks about his family's involvement with the Commununist Party and later his associations with the Black Panthers days. Some of my teachers were members of the Black Panthers. But then, I was in an environment where the New Left were in bed with the Panther movement. True communists will tell you to your face what they are and not mince anything.

Pretty wild! You must share many MANY of your memories with us, especially from the blek powa scene. Horowitz is another person there are two of: the suave gentleman/scholar heard from in The Frankfurt School, and the neocon hatemonger popping up everywhere else.
