UNBROKEN IRWIN SCHIFF DIES IN PRISON

By Lysander on 19 October 2015

It wasn’t the first time Irwin Schiff had been thrown in the slammer by Uncle
Sam. But when he reported to start serving a 14 year sentence for “tax crimes”
at age 77 he was fairly certain it would be the last.  He was right.

Irwin was a political prisoner locked up as an example to those who might be
inclined to ask the wrong questions about the modern application of the income
tax. His trial was a model for federal “show trials,” devoid of fact evidence
and laden with presumption, with a cooperative judge working with the DOJ to
keep the defendant from presenting his case.

Irwin was not punished for crimes he committed. He was punished for government
crimes he discovered and exposed.

After enduring a period of sadistic abuse that featured “diesel therapy” as
chief among every day abuses of prison life, Mr. Schiff was placed in a prison
close to his home and family. Later he was moved “for medical reasons” to a far
more distant facility where visits were much less frequent because they were so
much more difficult and expensive.

As irony would have it, he died of a neglected skin cancer for which he received
no treatment at the special medical facility.

Two armed guards oversaw Irwin’s passing shackled to his death bed, unconcerned
and unembarrassed by the absurd uselessness of their duty.

I hope there will always be a few among us who when they trip over the truth
can’t just jump up and keep going as if they had never seen it, no matter the
price of knowing the truth and saying what you know. Irwin was one of those
people.

Irwin’s materials are still available. You can download his “Federal Mafia,” one
of only two books ever banned by the federal government from his website,
paynoincometax.com  The other banned book, by the way, according to Irwin’s son,
Peter Schiff, was “Fanny Hill; Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure,” banned for
obscenity in 1821 and 1963.

His son, investment adviser, Peter Schiff, wrote an obituary that I recommend.

Judge to rule on the effect of his own errors at my trial:
My habeas corpus will be ruled upon by Los Vegas District Court Judge, Kent J.

trial (as described in the Memorandum) contributed to the jury finding me
guilty.  Consequently, my conviction should be reversed on this basis!

version.

Findings of Fact. Based on the evidence and the parties’ arguments, the Court
finds as follows:

(1) Defendants Irwin Schiff and Cynthia Neun promote abusive tax schemes
including Schiff’s “zero income” tax return scam, which incites and assists
customers to file false federal income tax returns claiming they received zero
income and owe zero taxes. The defendants promote their schemes through
seminars, radio shows, and advertisements, and charge customers for products and
services related to their abusive tax schemes;

(2) Schiff and Neun also have interfered with the administration of the internal
revenue laws by appearing with customers at IRS appeals hearings and encouraging
their customers to raise frivolous arguments, by inciting and assisting
customers to file frivolous lawsuits and Tax Court petitions and by inciting and
assisting customers to send frivolous correspondence and other documents to the
IRS;

(3) Schiff and Neun and their Freedom Books associates and employees have
continually and repeatedly prepared and filed federal income tax returns (IRS
Forms 1040), falsely claiming that their customers have no taxable income based
on Schiff’s frivolous theories and arguments;

(4) The returns that Schiff and Neun and their associated entities have
continually and repeatedly prepared are based on unrealistic positions, namely
Schiff’s claims that paying taxes is voluntary and that wages and other income
are not subject to taxation, and result in a gross understatement of their
customers’ tax liability;

(5) Schiff and Neun knew or should have known that their representations
regarding the “zero income” tax return scheme and the tax benefits to be derived
from participation in their scheme are false because (1) the “zero income” tax
return scheme is frivolous on its face, (2) there are numerous judicial
decisions rejecting this and similar “zero income” schemes, (3) Schiff has been
convicted twice of tax crimes for asserting these and similar arguments, (4) at
least four people who followed Schiff’s program have been convicted of tax
crimes, and (5) Schiff, individually and through Neun, and Freedom Books
advertisements, holds himself out as an expert in tax law;
 
(6) Absent this permanent injunction, Schiff and Neun will continue to promote
the abusive tax schemes;

(7) Schiff’s “zero income” tax return scheme and the “payment of income taxes is
voluntary,” “there is no law requiring Americans to file tax returns or pay
income taxes,” and “the income tax only applies to corporate profits” arguments
on which the “zero income” tax return scheme is based, are frivolous and without
merit; and

(8) The public is served by granting this injunction. This permanent injunction
will help stem the spread of and protect the public from defendants’ fraudulent
tax schemes. To the extent that any of the factual findings above can also be
construed as legal
conclusions, the factual findings shall also serve as conclusions of law.

Conclusions of Law
The Court has jurisdiction over this action pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1340 and
1345, and 26 U.S.C. §§ 7402(a), 7407, and 7408. Based on the evidence presented
by the United States and the defendants, the Court finds that Irwin Schiff and
Cynthia Neun, individually and doing business as Freedom Books,
www.paynoincometax.com, and www.ischiff.com, are engaging in conduct subject to
penalty under 26 U.S.C. §§ 6694, 6695, 6700, and 6701. Accordingly, the court
finds that Schiff and Neun, and their associated entities and websites should be
permanently enjoined under 26 U.S.C. §§ 7407, and 7408. The Court finds that the
United States and the public will suffer irreparable harm in the absence of this
permanent injunction and that Schiff and Neun will suffer little, if any, harm
if the permanent injunction is granted. The United States has shown that
Schiff’s and Neun’s tax positions are frivolous. Further, the United States has
shown the public interest will be served through granting this permanent
injunction.

Finally, the evidence presented by the United States and the defendants show
that absent this permanent injunction, Schiff and Neun will continue to violate
26 U.S.C. §§ 6694, 6695, 6700, and 6701 and interfere with the enforcement of
the internal revenue laws. Accordingly, the Court finds that a permanent
injunction under 26 U.S.C.  § 7402 is necessary and appropriate for the
enforcement of the internal revenue laws. Order Based on the foregoing factual
findings and for good cause shown, the Court ORDERS that defendants Irwin Schiff
and Cynthia Neun, individually and doing business as Freedom Books,
www.paynoincometax.com, and www.ischiff.com, and their agents, servants,
employees, attorneys, and those persons in active concert or participation with
them who receive actual notice of this Order are permanently enjoined from:

(1) Engaging in activity subject to penalty under 26 U.S.C. § 6700, including
organizing or selling a plan or arrangement and making a statement regarding the
excludibility of income that they know or have reason to know is false or
fraudulent as to any material matter;

(2) Engaging in activity subject to penalty under 26 U.S.C. § 6701, including
preparing and/or assisting in the preparation of a document related to a matter
material to the internal revenue laws that includes a position that they know
will result in an understatement of tax liability;

(3) Making false or misleading statements when marketing or advertising any
tax-related products or services, including books, videotapes, audiotapes,
seminars, packages, and consultation sessions;

(4) Making any statements, whether written or oral, that, in light of the
situation, are likely to incite others to imminently violate the law, including
to evade the assessment, payment, and collection of taxes;

(5) Assisting or aiding others to violate the law, including to evade the
assessment and payment of taxes, through any means, including through giving
in-person advice, posting information on the Internet, or selling books, tapes,
CDs, that instruct or explain how to fill out fraudulent or false tax returns or
other documents to be filed with the IRS;

(6) Providing any tax advice or services for compensation, including providing
consultative services, “witness” services, or other tax advice to, or purported
representation of, customers;

(7) Engaging in other activity that hinders the enforcement of internal revenue
laws, including instructing and assisting others to file frivolous lawsuits or
to disrupt and impede IRS audits and IRS or judicial Collection Due Process
Hearings;

(8) Preparing or assisting in the preparation of any federal income tax returns
for any other person;

(9) Engaging in any conduct subject to penalty under 26 U.S.C. § 6694, i.e.,
preparing any part of a return or claim for refund that includes an unrealistic
position;

(10) Engaging in any conduct subject to penalty under 26 U.S.C. § 6695, i.e.,
failing to sign and furnish the correct identifying number on tax returns that
they prepare; and

(11) Engaging in any other activity subject to injunction or penalty under 26
U.S.C. §§ 7407, 6694 or 6695, including fraudulent or deceptive conduct that
substantially interferes with the proper administration of the internal revenue
laws; Further, pursuant to 26 U.S.C. § 7402, the Court ORDERS that, within ten
days of the date of this order, Schiff and Neun must place this order, in its
entirety, on the www.paynoincometax.com, and www.ischiff.com “Home” pages (i.e.,
the first page seen when accessing the websites at the listed addresses),
prominently featured at the top so that it is easily visible and readable
without further action. The defendants must also remove from their websites and
others signs and advertising all information that violates this order, including
false commercial speech, speech that violates 26 U.S.C. §§ 6700, and speech that
assists or is likely to incite others to violate the law.

Further, that the United States be permitted to engage in post-injunction
discovery to monitor Schiff’s and Neun’s compliance with this and any other
order entered by this Court.

SO ORDERED this _______ day of _____________, 2008.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is a five line quote on page 12 of my motion, that I say appears on page 2
of the Court's Order.  Actually it was in the Government's "Reply To My
Objection To Its Motion For Summary Judgment." However in paragraphs (3) & (4)
of page 2 of the Court's Order, Judge George says about the same thing.

Notice (page 5, last line) where Judge George talks about speech that is likely
to "incite" others to violate the law. This is his attempt to  fraudulently
bring material on my website into the following quote of Justice Brandies as
contained in, Whitney v. Cal., 274 U.S. 357, 376.

Even advocacy of [law] violation, however reprehensible morally, is not a
justification for denying free speech where the advocacy falls short of
incitement and there is nothing to indicate that the advocacy would be
immediately acted on.

So Brandies points out that even advocating violations of law is protected
speech. Only when the speech might incite others to immediately break the law -
like inciting a mob to storm a jail and drag the prisoner out for a lunching -
is such speech not protected. Does anyone believe that someone who has paid
taxes all his life (and overlooking all my warnings and disclaimers) is going to
read something on my web site an immediately run out and break the law? So how
can Judge George believe he can legally censor anything on my website?

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.

The following is my motion to stay the permanent injunction:

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEVADA UNITED STATES, 
v. IRWIN SCHIFF & CYNTHIA Plaintiff, NEUN,
) Defendants

Civil No. Motion for Permanent CV-S-03-0281-LDG-RJJ Motion for stay of the
Permanent Injunction

Pursuant to Rule 18 (0) (1) of the Fed. Rules of Appellate Procedure permanent
injunction issued defendant Schiff moves for a stay of the by this Court on
October 14, 2008 pending review of its Order by the Ninth Circuit, for the
following reasons.

The Court Gave No Reason Why the Government Was Entitled to a Summary Judgment
and Indeed the Government Was Not Entitled To One Because the practical result
of applying the summary judgment is to deprive the party against whom judgment
is granted of a trial in the usual course, the remedy is a drastic one that
should be used with great caution. Schuck v. Motefiore, 2001 ND 93, 626 N.W.2d
698. Although summary judgment saves time, effort, and expense by avoiding a
full trial I under certain circumstances, those savings may not be gained at the
expense of denying a litigant the right of trial if there is a genuine issue of
material fact to be litigated. Iannelli v. Burger King Corp. , 761 A.2d 417
(N.H. 2000).

Because a summary judgment proceeding is a drastic remedy, strict compliance
with the applicable rule is required (U.S. v. Bosurgi, 530 F.2d 1105;
Parmedmelee v. Chicago Eye Shiel Co., 157 F.2d 582, 168 A.L.R. 1130 (C.C.A. 8th
Cir. 1946), and this is so whether or not the opposing affidavits are
sufficient. Manchester Memorial Hospital v. Whitney, 6 Conn. Cit. Ct. Ct. 212,
269 A.2d 300

(App Div 1969).  Rule 56 provides that summary judgment "should be rendered if
the pleadings, the discovery and disclosure materials on file, and any
affidavits show that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that
the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law."

Rule 56 of the Fed. R. Civ. P also provides that supporting and opposing
affidavits in a summary judgment proceeding shall be made on personal knowledge.
In this case the Government in seeking summary judgment submitted no affidavits
while the defendant submitted a 66 page sworn statement (plus 31 pages of the
Government's answers to Admissions and Interrogatories plus 9 other relevant
Exhibits) opposing the Government's request for summary judgment. In addition,
on the basis of the Government's answers and non-answers to discovery requests,
defendant Schiff filed a sworn statement of "Uncontested Issues of Fact" which
the Government did not contest and which the Court in its Order did not contest,
let alone refute.

Defendant's sworn "Uncontested Issues of fact" (which the Court could verify
based on the Government's discovery answers which were attached to Schiff's 66
page Objection to the Government's Motion for summary judgment) stated, the
following as being "Uncontested Issues of Fact" in this litigation:

1) There is no statute in the Internal Revenue Code that specifically makes
persons "liable" for an "income" tax.

2) When the United States uses the term "income" in this litigation, it uses the
term in its ordinary, every day sense, and does not use the term in its
"constitutional" sense.
 
3) When the United States uses the term "income" in this litigation, it does not
separate such income from its sources, but alleges that the sources themselves
are subject to an "income" tax.
 
4) The United States cannot identify how and in what manner "The Federal Mafia"
advises people to file "false and fraudulent" W-4's.

5) The United States cannot quote (giving the page number) any statement in "The
Federal Mafia" that is "false and Fraudulent."

6) The United States cannot quote any statement as contained in a 'zero" return
that is "false and fraudulent."

7) The United States cannot cite any statute in the the Internal Revenue Code
which authorizes the IRS Commissioner (or the-IRS) to enforce and administer a
federal "income" tax.
 
8) The United States cannot produce a delegation order from the Secretary of the
Treasury to the Commissioner of the IRS delegating him with the authority to
enforce and administer an "income" tax which was published in the Federal
Register.

All of the above, sworn to facts, supported by the government's answers, and non
answers to discovery questions, had to be held as true by this 
Court. Instead, the Court simply ignored these uncontested facts when it
unlawfully granted the Government a summary judgment.

-A-
Legal Issues

Facts asserted by a party opposing a summary judgment motion, and supported by
affidavits or other evidentiary material must be regarded as true. Anderson p.
Liberty Lobby, Inc.,477 US 242, 106 S. Ct. 2505, 91 L. Ed. 2d 202, 4 Fed. R.
Servo 3rd 1041 (1986); Van Houten Svc.v Shell Oil, 417 F. Supp. 523 (D.N.J.
1975), aff'd 546 F.2d 421 (3rd Cir 1976); Dobson v. Harrise, 352 N.C. 77, 530
S.E. 2d 829 (2000). In deciding on motion for summary judgment, all factual
disputes (Gen. Elec. V. Joiner,522 US 136, 118 S. Ct. 512, 139 L. Ed. 2nd 508,
48 Fed. R. Evidence. Service 1 (1997).) and justifiable or reasonable inferences
are to be resolved favorably for the non moving party and against the moving
party. Hunt v. Cromartie, 526 US 541, 119 S Ct. 1545, 143 L. Ep. 2d 731 (1999);
Grayson v. McGowan , 1543 F.2d 79 (9th Cir. 1976; Quinn, V. Syracuse Model Corp.
, 613 F. 2d 438 II (2d Cir. 1980).

Affidavits of the moving party for summary judgment (not submitted /in this
case) should be strictly construed, while those of the opponent .should be
liberally construed. Hatch v. Bush, 215 Cal.. App. 2d 692, 30 Cal. Rptr. 397 13
A.L.R. 3rd 503 (1st Dist. 1963).

Also a court hearing a motion for summary judgment must construe all the
pleadings, liberally in favor of the party against whom the motion is made.
First Bank of Chicago v. Pendell, 651 F. 2d 419 (5th Cir. 1981), In addition,
all doubt and all favorable inferences that may be reasonably drawn .from the
evidence will be resolved against a party moving for a summary judgment,
(Deshazer v. Tompkins, 89 Idaho 347, 404 P.2d 604 (1965); Breen v. Peck, 28 N.J.
351, 146 A.2d 665, 73 A.L.R. 2d 390 (1958), ruling that in determining the right
to a summary judgment, all doubts must be resolved against the moving party.),
and the evidence and inferences will be viewed in the light most favorable to
the party opposing the motion. Aka v. Jefferson Hosp, 344 Ark. 627, 42 S.W. 3d
508(2001); Appleton v. Board of Educ. Town of Stonington , 254 Conn. 205,757
A.2d 1059, 146 Ed. Law Rep. 1097 (2000).

The appellate court, as well as the trial court, must view the record on summary
judgment in the light most favorable to the party against whom the judgment is
rendered. Stanturf v. Sipes, 447 S.W.2d 558, 35 A.L.R. 3rd 834 (Mo 1969)

In addition, the mere fact that this Court awarded the Government a preliminary
injunction does not constitute final adjudication of the ultimate rights in
controversy. Shoemaker v. County of Los Angeles, 37 Cal. App. 4th 618, 43 Cal.
rptr. 2d 774, 102 Ed. Law Rep. 259 (2d. Dist. 1995).

Whether a preliminary injunction is granted or denied has no effect on whether a
final, permanent injunction will ultimately be issued. Berger By and Through
Berger West Jefferson Hill School Dist., 669 A. 2d 1084, that issue must be
resolved at trial; Gambar Enterprises, Inc. v. Kelly Services, 69 A.S 2d 297,
418 N.Y.S. 2d 818 (4th Dep't 1979).

The findings of fact and conclusions of law made in a preliminary injunction do
not preclude the reexamination of the merits at a subsequent trial; the parties
are free to offer additional evidence, and the court can come to opposite
conclusions. Irish Lesbian & Gay Organization v. Giuliani, 143 F. 3d 638(2d Cir.
1998);  Electronic Design & Mfg. v. Konopka, 272 Ill. App. 3d 410 208 Jll.  Dec.
563, 649 N.E.2d 619 (1st Dist 1995; Toho Co. Ltd v. William Morrow & Co., Inc,
33 F. Supp 2d 1206 46 U.S.P.Q. 2d (BNA) 1801 (C.O. Cal. 1998).

A final and permanent injunction can be granted only following a final hearing
on the merits. U.S. v. Baltimore & ' O.R. Co 225 u.s. 306, 32 S. Ct. 817, 56L.
Ed 1100 (Comm. Ct. 1912); Plummer v. Am. Inst. of C.P.A.'s, 97 F. 3rd 220 (7th
Cit. 1996)
 
In addition the Court failed to mention in its decision that the injunction is
being awarded to the Government on the basis of a summary judgment; nor does the
Court explain why the Government was entitled to a summary judgment, and why the
defendants -whose First Amendment rights were being abridged -were not entitled
to a trial on the merits. In addition, unlike the litigation that led to the
preliminary injunction, in connection with the permanent injunction, the
defendants got discovery, which led to the following factual revelations.

1) The Government could not identify any law that specifically made persons
"liable" for income taxes. (As fully covered in pages 8-12 in Schiff's Response
to the Government's Motion for Summary Judgment, here and after referred to as
SR)
 
2) The Government could not identify any law that fell into Subtitle A (the
Subtitle dealing with income taxes) that required persons "to pay" income taxes.
(Pages 12-13 of SR)

3) The Government admitted to not knowing the legal meaning of "income." (pages
13-17 of SR)

4) The Government could not explain in what way "The Federal Mafia" advises
people to file false W-4's. (Pages 17-23 of SR)

5) The Government could not identify any statement in "The Federal Mafia" that
was either "false or fraudulent." (See pages 23-27 of SR)

6) The Government admitted (by default) that compliance with income tax statutes
is voluntary. In order to avoid admitting that the income tax is based on
voluntary compliance and not on twice compulsory compliance, the Government
claimed, among other things, that it did not know the difference between
"voluntary compliance" and "compulsory compliance." (See pages 27-34 of SR)

7) By failing to deny two relevant Admissions, the Government in fact admitted
that the IRS has no statutory authority to enforce the Federal income tax. (See
pages 35-36 of SR)

8) The Government could not identify one statement in "The Federal Mafia" that
is false. (See pages 36-42 of SR) Therefore, not only did the Court disregard
all of the material and significant revelations revealed in the Government's
answers to discovery requests (which should have resulted in the Court's giving
summary judgment to defendants, and not the other way around (l), but the Court
also disregarded all the provisions of Rule 56 and all of the case law cited
above, as well as all the factual claims established by defendants (which went
un-refuted by the United States), illegally resolved every factual issue which
it either ignored or mis­represented -in favor of the Government. In addition as
shown below, the Court based its injunction on facts that it had to know were
false.

1. "Under Fed. R. Civ. P. 56, a court may grant summary judgment in favor of a
party that did not request it, but only upon proper notice to the adverse
party." ; citing, Daniels v. McKay Machine, 607 F.2d 771 (7th Cir 1979); and
Snelwar v. Snelwar, 27 Misc. 2d 933, 212 N.Y.S.2d 882 (Sup 1961).As quoted in
Am. Jur. Vol 73 " 61. Defendants did not seek a summary judgment, since they
believed a trial on the merits was in the public's interest.

It is clear from all of the above, and the First Amendment issue involved,
defendants were entitled to a trial in which to cross-examine Government
witnesses. This is further clearly established in "American Jurisprudence 2d",
Vol. 42 t1 264 which states:
An application for a permanent injunction is determined on the merits only after
a full evidentiary trial, (70 ) even though the hearing on the proceedings to
obtain a preliminary injunction may touch upon or tentatively decide
merit-issues. (71)
 
Caution: The court may grant a permanent injunction without a trial on merits if
there are no material issues of fact and the issues of law have been correctly
resolved. (72)

Whether a preliminary injunction is granted or denied has no effect on whether a
final, permanent injunction will ultimately be issued; that issue must he
resolved at the trial, at which parties are free to offer additional evidence
and the court .may come to different conclusions. (73)
Emphasis added and numerous citings omitted

Since numerous material issues of fact needed to be resolved (if the Court ?
didn't believe they had already been resolved against the Government), they were
required to be resolved at trial. Since they were not resolved at trial, the
Court's Order of October 14, 2008 is actually a nullity.

 -II­
The Preliminary v. the Permanent Injunction

Undoubtedly the Government's inability (as revealed through its answers to
discovery questions) to identify in what way "The Federal Mafia" advises people
to file "false and fraudulent" W-4's and false income tax returns did have an
impact on the claims contained in the permanent injunction in contrast to those
contained in the preliminary injunction. For example: On page 5 of the
preliminary injunction the court claimed. that:

Schiff identifies The Federal Mafia as the starting point of his program  "It
shows you how to file the zero return stop wage withholding, and explains the
basics."...Schiff also advertises his program (2), and states that services on
the internet through testimonials, some of which identify only The Federal Mafia
as the resource for avoiding paying taxes. The Federal Mafia is priced at $38.00
I
Indeed, The Federal Mafia was considered so fundamental to Schiff's "fraudulent
tax: schemes" that the book was mentioned 47 times in the Court's preliminary
injunction; while the preliminary injunction also accused Schiff of advising
people to file false W-4's, so as to wrongfully stop having taxes taken from
their pay. This accusation  appears approximately 12 times in the preliminary
injunction. However, there is no mention of The Federal Mafia in the permanent
injunction, and no accusation that Schiff advises anyone to file false W-4's.
So~ obviously, such references and such charges were erroneously contained in
the preliminary injunction.

-III ­
The Permanent Injunction Contains Patently False Claims

-A-
Contrary To the Court's Claim

It's Permanent Injunction Was Not Based On Any "Evidence"

On page 3 of its Injunction Order the Court writes, under the caption,
"Conclusions of Law" the following.• Based on the evidence presented by the
United States and te defendants, the Court finds that Irwin Schiff and Cynthla
Neun, individually and doing business as Freedom Books, www.paynoincometax.com,
and www.ischiff.com, are engaging in conduct subject to penalty under 26 U.S.C.
§§6694, 6695,6700 and 6700. Accordingly, the court finds that Schiff and Cynthia
Neun and their associated entities and websites should be permanently enjoined
under 26 U.S.C. §§ 7407, 7408.

The Court finds that the United States and the public will suffer irreparable
harm in the absence of this permanent. injunction and that Schiff and Neun will
suffer little, if any harm, lf the permanent injunction is granted. The United
States has shown the public interest will be served through granting this
permanent injunction. Finally the evidence presented by the United States and
the defendants show that absent this permanent injunction, Schiff and Neun will
continue to violate 26 U.S.C. §§ 6694, 6695, 6700, and 6701 and interfere with
the enforcement of the internal revenue laws. Accordingly, the Court finds that
a permanent injunction under 26 U.S.C. § 7402 is necessary and appropriate for
the enforcement of the internal revenue laws.

First of all, though the Court twice states that it is basing its Order on
"evidence presented by the United States,". The United States presented no
evidence' whatsoever in this litigation. "American Jurisprudence 2nd" defines
evidence in Vol. 29 ¶1 as follows:

1. Nature and definition of evidence

> Evidence is matter that makes clear the truth of fact, persuades a court of
> the existence of fact, or produces a just conviction of truth. It is further
> defined as any species of proof legally presented at trial through the medium
> of witnesses, records, documents, exhibits, and concrete objects for the
> purpose of inducing belief in the minds of the court or jury. The word
> "evidence" thus includes all the means by which any fact in dispute at a
> judicial trial is established or disproved. Any circumstance which affords an
> inference as to whether the matter alleged is true or false is therefore
> evidence, and is commonly understood to be within the meaning of that term.
> 
> Further on "Am Jur." states, in relevant part.
> 
> 3. Requirement that matter be received· in court
> 
> Matter which was not introduced or presented as evidence at trial does not
> come within the commonly accepted definition of "evidence."  In this regard,
> neither testimony nor physical objects are evidence unless they are produced,
> introduced, and received in a trial.
> Because evidence is matter, Which has actually been presented at trial, facts
> obtained through the use of discovery devices, such as written
> interrogatories, are not themselves evidence. They may, however, become
> evidence by introduction as such at the trial of the matter. (Footnotes and
> supporting court decisions omitted)
> ,
> From the above, it is pretty clear that the Court I s Order was not based on
> any "evidence presented by the United States and the defendants." Its Order
> was obviously based on the Court I s partisanship in favor of the Government,
> and by its own preconceived, erroneously held, understanding of our revenue
> laws and by refusal to be bound by relevant Supreme Court decisions and House

Read Irwin's appeal documents:  Appeal 1   Appeal 2

Newly added the following as of August 20, 2007

I have petitioned the Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari in connection with
the 9th Circuit’s sustaining the $2.6 million summary judgment Judge Pro awarded
to the Federal government.

If the Supreme Court can allow that appellate decision to stand in the face of 
all the laws and Constitutional provisions that decision violated, then the
Supreme Court will have conceded that the U.S. is nothing more than a big banana
republic where laws and constitutional rights mean nothing to our courts,
including the Supreme Court.

QUESTIONS PRESENTED

            1.         Can district and appellate courts attribute taxable
income to individuals even when they have been provided with proof that they
have received no taxable income as a matter of law?

            2.         Are federal courts free to attribute tax liabilities to
individuals even when no statute exists that establishes the tax liability in
question?

            3.         Can federal courts require the public to pay a tax which
is not authorized by any of the Constitution’s three taxing clauses?

            4.         Can federal courts subject the public to the authority of
federal employees even when such employees have no statutory or delegated
authority to act in that manner?

            5.         Are federal courts free to entertain appeals, but then
refuse to address any of the non— frivolous issues raised in them?

            6.         Are appellate courts free to impose sanctions upon
individuals simply because those individuals raise issues that the appeals court
would rather not deal with?

Comment: Petitioner suggests that every American has a substantial, personal
interest in each of these issues; since, if federal courts can do any of these
things, then constitutional rights and the rule of law in America is a fiction.
However, as the record will show, it was based on just such court actions that
the final orders of both lower courts involved in this action were based.

[l] Senate Report 1622 (p.J68) and House Report 1337 (P. A 18), 83d Congress, 2d
Session (Exhibit J herein) in which Congress specifically declared that “income”
as used in section 6l of the 1954 Code was used in its “constitutional sense”
and was not used in its ordinary sense, as was used by all of the lower courts
involved in this litigation.

CONCLUSION

The questions are: Is the United States a Nation of law? Is it the duty of the
Supreme Court to uphold and enforce the Constitution of the United States and
those laws enacted pursuant to it, or not? If the Supreme Court can allow this
Ninth Circuit Ruling to stand, then the Supreme Court will have definitively
answered both questions in the negative.

Both the trial and appeals court claim the Petitioner owes the United States
approximately 2.5 million dollars in taxes, penalties, and interest for the
years 1979-1985. Thus both courts would allow U.S. marshals to seize all of
Petitioner’s property to satisfy this horrific debt - when all the legal
evidence shows the Petitioner owes the United States Government absolutely
nothing for any of the years at issue. Indeed, the legal evidence is
overwhelming that the trial court did not have jurisdiction

to even entertain the Government’s lawsuit - evidence that the appeals Court did
not challenge. Therefore, if the Supreme Court can stand by and allow U.S.
Marshals to confiscate citizens’ property - reducing them to abject poverty -
even when the law clearly shows that the citizen owes the Government nothing,
then Americans, in reality, now have no more rights than those who live under
fascism, making all those slogans and aphorisms that adorn all of America’s
courthouses… so much hypocritical prattle.

 — 36 —

If the Ninth Circuit’s decision is allowed to stand, no one can seriously
contend that America is a Nation of law where citizens have inalienable rights
secured to them by a Constitution.

The petition for a writ of certiorari should he granted.

Respectfully submitted,

June 30, 2007

Hello Boys and Girls.

Here is something that I believe can stop the government from getting
convictions in income tax prosecutions. However, nothing is certain in
connection with such prosecutions, since, as we all know tax trials are
orchestrated by individuals who have no regard for either truth or law.

One of the reasons I was willing to defend myself at my trial is that I believed
I had the knowledge and legal proof to show that none of the government’s IRS
witnesses were legally authorized to testify; and without their testimony the
government had no case. (Government had no case anyway, on other grounds, but
let’s forget about that.) However, the government’s three prosecutors (two from
the Justice Department and one who pretended to be a judge), conspired to
prevent me from introducing such proof. Therefore I suggest that all those
facing a contrived criminal prosecution for allegedly violating some income tax
law, proceed as follows.

 First familiarize yourself with code §7608. It alone proves that the IRS has no
authority to enforce the payment of income taxes. §7608 is broken down into
subsections (a) and (b), and all the IRS personnel who enforce a federal tax
must fall into one subsection or the other. Now, all Agents who fall under
subsection (a) are only authorized to enforce Subtitle E Taxes, such as liquor,
tobacco and firearms; while only those Agents who fall under subsection (b)
might be authorized to enforce income taxes. However, the statute only
identifies “Criminal Investigations of the Intelligence Division of the IRS” as
falling within subsection (b). All other IRS Agents “by whatever term
designated” are plainly excluded from subsection (b) and are specifically
assigned to subsection (a), the subsection dealing with Subtitle E Taxes.
Therefore, the only IRS Agents who can have any authority to enforce the income
tax are criminal investigators of the Intelligence Division of the IRS. All
other IRS personal “by whatever term designated” can only be involved in
enforcing Subtitle E Taxes. I don’t see how this statute can be read any other
way. [FN1]

Now Judge Dawson would not allow me to raise §7608 in order to impeach
government IRS witnesses. For example, §7608(a)(1) specifically authorizes those
falling within this subsection to “carry firearms.” However, no such
authorization is given to those who fall into subsection (b). Therefore it is
clear that it is against the law for any IRS Agent to carry a firearm in
connection with the enforcement of income taxes. So when the government called
former special agent Ted Wethje as a witness, I immediately asked him on cross
examination, “Did you carry a firearm in connection with your IRS duties?” He
would have had to answer yes, since all Special Agents carry guns. This would
mean he could only have been authorized to enforce liquor, tobacco and firearms
taxes while all his enforcement activities involving income taxes, including
testifying at my trial, were unauthorized and illegal. But Judge Dawson knew
where I was going with this (since I covered it in my Motion to Suppress, [FN2]
(since armed Special Agents concluded the raid on Freedom books). So he wouldn’t
let Wethjie answer the question and stated that my question was “irrelevant,”
and ordered me to “move on.”

For this reason I didn’t bother to raise the issue, when the government called
another Special Agent as a witness, Sam Holland. Mr. Holland testified at length
before the Grand Jury, and it was he who led the raid on Freedom books when his
Gestapo Squad of 15 armed Special Agents carted off  some 14,000 of my personal
papers from Freedom Books.  §7608(b)(1) proves that Holland’s testimony before
the Grand Jury was unauthorized and illegal, as well as the seizure of those
documents from Freedom Books. (So what else is new?)

The question is what can we do to stop these illegal IRS witnesses from
testifying? I think I have the solution. If you are being subjected to a
criminal prosecution involving income taxes, prior to going to trial (and after
filing my motions to dismiss as posted on my web site) file a motion in limine
in which you move that only those IRS employees attached to the Intelligence
Division of the IRS be allowed to testify. On what basis can the government
oppose such a motion, since these are the only IRS personnel that §7608(b)
authorizes to enforce the income tax?

In my view, all IRS personnel, other than those connected to the Intelligent
Division of the IRS, must fall into subsection (a)—otherwise the statute is
inconsistent. Certainly §7608 makes a distinction between those IRS Agents
authorized to enforce Subtitle E taxes, and those supposedly authorized to
enforce income taxes, a Subtitle A tax.

Therefore, how can any IRS employee who does not fall into subsection 7608(b) be
authorized to testify at a trial designed to enforce the payment of income
taxes?

But by raising this issue, pre trial, in the form of a motion in limine you have
an opportunity to argue the issue; while at trial, the judge can arbitrarily,
cut off all argument on the issue as happened to me. In my case, a motion in
limine would certainly make it more difficult for the government to get special
Agents and Revenue Officers to testify since, for a variety of reasons, they
clearly fall into §7608(a) and thus can have no authority to enforce the income
tax and this would be a very easy argument to make. And those are the IRS
Agents, who at trial provide the most damaging (though totally fraudulent)
testimony.

So get those motion in limine filed and let’s see how the Justice Department and
the courts try to weasel out of §7608!


FN #1  Of course no IRS Agent is authorized to enforce the income tax for the
reason contained in my supplemental appeal as posted on my web site. In
addition, the the “Parallel Table of Authorities” shows that the implementing
regulations for §7608 is in 27 CFR. There is no reference to their being in 26
CFR. Obviously all those convicted of an income tax crime have been framed on a
variety of grounds. Hopefully these motions in limine will make it more
difficult for the government to do so in the future.

FN #2  My Motion to suppress (which is posted on my web site) contains a variety
of reasons why the IRS raid on Freedom Books was illegal. Numerous personal
documents, illegally taken in that raid, were misrepresented and used against me
at trial. Judge Dawson summarily denied my motion to suppress (after holding it
for over a year) without comment, thus making a mockery at the 4th and 5th
Amendments which, in effect, the federal judiciary has all but abolished, as
shown here.

>       Arron Russo On Coast-To-Coast AM          Aaron Russo on Lou Epton

Very Important:  On July 5th 2005 I filed a motion calling for dismissal of my
current criminal prosecution, because there are no laws establishing income tax
"crimes".  To be thoroughly convinced of that, and also thoroughly convinced
that if there are criminals involved in income tax prosecutions, it can only be
the federal judges and the justice department lawyers conducting such trials -
  Read these 12 pages.

My motion also provides the legal basis for filing criminal charges (either
pursuant to a criminal complaint or trying to get before a grand jury and
seeking indictments) against judges and US attorneys who participate in such
prosecutions, since in doing so they are actually engaged in criminal activity
punishable by law.

The information in here is simple and irrefutable and reveals that the
government extraction of income taxes which has not only destroyed practically
the Nation's entire industrial base, (3rd world status, here we come!), but it
was done pursuant to a tax that has been extracted illegally and criminally -
without practically anyone realizing it.

These 12 pages explain it all.  Disseminate the information to as many people as
possible, and try and get it before you local newspaper.

Be sure to read the government's response.  Note that the government's response
to all these issues is "frivolous" however  the government's response is
criminal for the reasons given in my motion. Notice the government makes no
attempt to address the fact that they can't produce any delegation of authority
from the secretary of the treasury delegating to the IRS the authority to
collect income taxes or it's publication in the federal register.  This of
course demonstrates that the motto of the justice department which is "not to
gain a conviction, but to see justice done" is so much BS.  In reality they
represent a greater collection of criminals than the people they prosecute.

Here are the Exhibits from that go with my latest motion above, "Motion to
Dismiss since this court cannot have jurisdiction since the indictment fails to
charge an offense" filed July 5, 2005.

The following will provide extensive and irrefutable proof of how federal judges
and the Dept. Of "Justice" lawyers knowingly violate the law in order to convict
defendants (Illegally) charged with income tax crimes,  And why only
misstatements of law ever "comes from the bench" at such trials.

 Since the income tax was repealed in 1954 when Congress adopted the 1954 Code,
it is clear that for 50 years federal judges in conspiracy with U. S. Department
of Injustice prosecutors have been illegally and criminally prosecuting people
for crimes that do not exist in connection with a tax that nobody owes.

Therefore, the fact that Judge Dawson along with all of the Government’s
prosecutors in this case have been engaged in  the same criminal conduct should
surprise no one – except  in this case, their criminal conduct was so blatant
and Judge Dawson’s charge to the jury was so outrageously false in so many
areas, that changes in the way criminal trials are conducted in the U.S. of A.
must inevitably follow from these disclosures.

Pursuant to the Supreme Court’s  definitive Cheek decision, 498 US at page 201, 
the government in a tax prosecution has a three- fold  burden,  it must prove:

(1) The law imposed a duty upon the defendant;

(2) The defendant knew of that duty; and (3) he deliberately and intentionally
(willfully) violated that duty.  Notice that the issue of “willfulness” only
enters the picture in connection with the Government’s third burden.  
Obviously, a defendant has a right during the government’s presentation of its
case, to establish that no law imposed any such “duty” upon him.  However to do
that, the defendant must be able to raise the law itself and show that no law
imposed any such “duty’ upon him, and that the IRS employees who testified for
the Government, had no legal authority to do what they testified they did.

If the defendant can establish these claims during the Government’s presentation
of its case, and knock out all of the Government’s IRS witnesses (which can
easily be done by introducing into evidence their job descriptions, the
significance of section 7608, and the nature of their “pocket commissions”) the
defendant would be entitled to a direct verdict of acquittal at the close of the
Government’s presentation of its case, without the defendant even having to put
on a defense, largely based on the issue of “willfulness. ”Therefore, how did
Judge Dawson prevent me from proving that no income tax law imposed a “duty”
upon me, and that I knew of such a “duty” – thereby sparing the government the
need of having to prove these first two elements of its burden, while preventing
me from proving that none of the Government’s IRS witnesses had any legal
authority to do what they testified they did. Judge Dawson sought to
accomplished these tasks in a variety of ways.

The first way was to prevent me from bringing up the law itself, by continually
claiming that “the law will come from the bench. How could I prove that no “law”
imposed any “duty” upon me (and therefore I “knew” of  such a “duty”) if I could
not bring up the law itself?    In fact when I asked Judge Dawson, if the
Government intended to put on a witness who would testify that the law imposed a
“duty” upon me to pay income taxes,  David Ignall, the Government’s lead
prosecutor, specifically stated that the Government had no such intention of
doing so, but would rely on the Judge Dawson’s jury instructions to establish
these elements for the Government.   However, since I would never be able to
cross-examine Judge Dawson concerning his jury instructions, he would be free to
misstate the law (he literally threw all law out the window as he misstated it
at least two dozen times – and such examples will follow) as he fabricated a
“duty” that did not exist.

Later, at a hearing (conducted outside the presence of the jury) involving his
proposed jury instructions,   I specifically pointed out to him how numerous of
his proposed jury instruction misstated the law - but he gave those instructions
anyway, although he did change a few, while he refused to give jury instructions
that correctly stated the law.   Since my objections and corrections were
recorded at that time, they will prove that Judge Dawson knew he was misstating
the law to the jury, if my objections are not edited out of the transcript.
      

Apart from already explaining why the actions of Judge Dawson and the
prosecutors constituted criminal violations of 18 U.S.C. 241 in the 12 page
motion I filed on July 5, 2005 (and which is posted immediately above this
document) their criminal culpability was substantially extended at trial and
would now include the crime of obstruction of justice – as the following will
demonstrate.  

1) Judge Dawson would not allow me to bring up the law, especially when it would
impeach the testimony of government witnesses. For example:

     a)  A government witness, with a very impressive title, was introduced as
being in charge of the frivolous penalty program in the 9th Circuit area.   She
testified that the IRS imposed the $500 frivolous penalty based upon guidelines
established by the legal counsel for the IRS, and when the IRS received a tax
return that fell within those guidelines, they imposed the $500 frivolous
penalty.  I objected to her testimony as hearsay, since she was not the one who
determined whether a return was frivolous or not, and what she was told by the
IRS District Counsel constituted hearsay.

I stated that it was the IRS District Counsel who should be testifying
concerning what constituted a “frivolous” return, since he was apparently the
one who made that determination and not the witness who was now testifying.  But
my objection was overruled.   When I cross-examined her, I specifically asked
her whether or not any IRS agent took specific responsibility for imposing the
frivolous penalty.   And she again elaborated on how the penalty was imposed
pursuant to guidelines set up by the IRS District Counsel.  Therefore, I again
asked her if she was sure that the frivolous penalty was not imposed by IRS
employees taking specific responsibility for imposing the penalty. She said
“No,” that was not how it was done.  I then asked her if she was familiar with
Code section 6751 I forgot whether she said “Yes” or “No.” In any case I asked
her, “If you saw a copy of IR Code Section 6751, would that refresh your
recollection?” She must have said, “Yes,” since I now moved to admit Section
6751 into evidence.

I handed a copy of section 6751 to the U.S. attorney who was sitting right in
back of me. He read it, but appeared to have a puzzled look on his face, when he
said, “No objection.” I then handed the document to the clerk, so it could be
marked as an Exhibit, and she handed it up to Judge Dawson, who proceeded to
read it.   He read:  “No penalty under this title shall be assessed unless the
initial determination of such assessment is personally approved (in writing) by
the immediate supervisor of the individual making such determination or such
higher level official as the Secretary may designate.”   Judge Dawson, of
course, realized that section 6751 (which provided that a document containing at
least two signatures was required in order for the frivolous penalty to be
imposed) totally impeached the testimony of the Government’s witness then
sitting before him.  Therefore, he sought to save the government’s witness from
being totally discredited by saying:   “Well, courts have held (of course, he
never named what courts) that this provision is not really binding on the IRS 
(or words to that effect),   so this document is irrelevant and will not be
admitted.”

So, Judge Dawson would not allow the law, section 6751,  to be admitted, since
it would allow me to use it to discredit the entire testimony of this
impressively titled,  government witness.  Since she also stated (in order to
establish her alleged credentials, even though the government would not qualify
her as an “expert”)  that she had testified extensively at both civil and
criminal trials. It is, therefore, apparent that at all such trials her
testimony was in direct conflict with the law – unfortunately defendants at such
trials would probably be unaware of that fact.             

 b)  One of the Government's first witnesses was retired Special Agent Ted
Wethje.  He is mentioned in the Federal Mafia on pages 221, 222, and 224 . The
Government largely relied on his perjured testimony to gain my indictment and
conviction in 1985 and therefore sought to use this experienced and
unconscionable liar at this trial.  He had absolutely no legal authority to
testify at either my 1985 trial or at this trial, since he has no more authority
to enforce the payment of income taxes than the man in the moon.  He is
precluded from doing so by his own job description (Exhibit A) and because he
falls into subsection (a) of provision 7608 (Exhibit C).   Any IRS agent who
claims he is legally authorized to carry a firearm must fall into subsection (a)
of section 7608, since agents who fall into subsection (b) are not authorized to
“carry firearms.”   So, if Special Agent Wethje was authorized to “carry
firearms” during his employment with the IRS, he could only have been authorized
to enforce the payment of liquor, tobacco, and firearms taxes and such other
taxes as fall within the provisions of subtitle E of the IR Code – and not
income taxes, which fall within subtitle A of the IR Code.  

So when I cross-examined him, the first thing I said to him was, “Isn’t it a
fact Mr. Wethje, that when you worked at the IRS you carried a firearm?”   The
government immediately objected to the question (probably citing “relevance”)
and its objection was immediately sustained by Judge Dawson in the following
manner, “Sustained - move on.”  However, I tried to argue that weather or not
Wethje carried a firearm was relevant as to whether or not he was authorized to
give testimony at this trial since it involved income taxes.  However, Judge
Dawson would hear none of it.  He supposedly had warned me that when he
sustained an objection, I was not to argue any further but had to “Move on.” 
However, I was also under the impression, that one had a right to argue the
validity and necessity of the question you asked, before it was ruled upon,  and
in this case (as  well as in numerous other cases) Judge Dawson ruled upon the
Government’s objection without giving me an opportunity to argue why the
question was  relevant to my defense.

Also I am hard of hearing, and so I might not have heard him say “Sustained,”
but believed I still had a right to argue the validity of my question – and so
might have raised arguments after he had stated “Sustained.”   At such times
Judge Dawson would bark,   “Sanction,” which meant I had just been held in
contempt of court, which carried a jail sentence that was double to that meted
out by the previous sanction.  Judge Dawson started the sanctions at one day in
jail, which were then doubled for each succeeding sanction.  I must have
received at least a dozen sanctions.  In any case, he also would not allow me to
me bring up Wethje’s job description, which also showed that Wethje had no
authority to investigate anybody living within the continental U.S.A. in
connection with income taxes, and so he had no authority to be testifying at
this trial.  In this manner Judge Dawson knowingly allowed the Government to use
witnesses against me who he knew had absolutely no authority to testify at my
trial.    

C.  Another Government witness, Revenue  Officer Luddie Talley testified that he
was involved (at various times) in seizing numerous items from me  including: an
automobile, monies taken from me which were being held for me at the Clark
County Jail, and 100% of my monthly Social Security benefit.  He had sent the
Social Security Administration a fraudulent, IRS notice-of- levy  (which he had
no authority to send out, and which is totally benign and can be immediately
thrown into the nearest trash can) on which he had added, in his own
handwriting, “full levy”;  a term that appears no place in  the law governing
“notices-of-levy.”  

       When I asked Talley, “Are you aware of IRS pocket commissions?,”  the
Government cried out, “Objection,” which Judge Dawson “Sustained” as usual.  
However, had I been permitted to proceed with this line of questioning, it would
have proceeded as follows.  Talley would have had to answer, “Yes” to my initial
question. Based on that answer,  I  would then have said, “And they consist of
enforcement and non-enforcement commissions, do they not?”  And he would have
had to say, “Yes.”  And then I would have said, “And what kind of a pocket
commission do you have?”   And he would have had to say, “A non-enforcement
pocket commission.”   And then I would have said, “Therefore, you have no
enforcement authority with respect to income taxes, isn’t that correct?”  In
order not to commit perjury, he would have had to answer, “Correct.” 
“Therefore,” I would have said, “you had no lawful authority to seize my
automobile, the money being held for me at the Clark County Jail, or my monthly
Social Security check, isn’t that correct?”   And he would have had to answer,
“Correct.”  And then I would have said, “So you are no better than an ordinary
thief, except you operate under color of law, isn’t that correct?” And he would
have had to answer, “Correct.”  Except I would have corrected him, by saying. 
“No, you are worse than an ordinary thief. Ordinary thieves at least don’t have
the gall to pretend that their stealing is legal, and they, at least, take some
risk.  They don’t have federal judges and U.S. attorneys protecting them. 
Because of the hypocrisy in your brand of thievery,  and because it receives the
protection of the courts and the DOJ,  it must be regarded as a lower form of
thievery then that committed by ordinary criminals.”   However, I never got the
chance to proceed along those lines, since I was prevented from doing so by
Judge Dawson.      

     In addition, when I asked Talley, “When you seize property do you do it
legally or illegally?” he responded by saying, “I do it legally.”  This laid the
foundation for my next question, which was, “Did you ever see a statute that
allowed the IRS to seize property?” However, before he could answer, the
Government objected and Judge Dawson gave his usual “Sustained.”   If Talley had
said “Yes,” to that question, I would have handed him the Code and asked him to
show me the statute that allowed him to seize property legally, and he would not
have been able to find such a statute,  because it doesn’t exist.  If he said
“No,” I would have asked, “Then how do you know you seize property legally?”  So
no matter how Talley  answered,  I would have been able to expose the fact that
IRS agents have no authority to seize property.  But, again, the Government’s
prosecutors and Judge Dawson interceded in order to prevent me from proving that
all IRS seizures are illegal, and not provided for by law.

    Further I produced a document sent out by the Social Security Administration
that showed that the seizure of Social Security benefits by the IRS is  limited
to 15% (assuming they have any seizure authority at all, which they do not
have.)  However based upon erroneous representations made by the Government,
Judge Dawson instructed the jury that the law allowed the IRS to seize 100% of
my monthly benefit.   That was dead wrong, but explaining it to the jury would
have been too complicated, besides I had a better way to do it.  I was calling
as a witness Dr. Raymond Hartman of Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania.

    His involvement in the movement even predates mine (See page 59 of “The
Federal Mafia.”).  When he told me the IRS was taking 100% of his Social
Security, I provided him with information which he sent to the Social Security
Administration.   Shortly thereafter they sent him a refund of approximately
$9,000  and restored 100% of his monthly benefit.   Since I had to supply Judge
Dawson with an outline of what my witnesses were going to testify about, he
informed me that he would not permit Dr. Hartman to testify about getting his
Social Security benefits restored.  When I asked him why, he said that such
testimony had nothing to do with income taxes.   I am sure that the fact that
Dr.  Hartman’s  testimony would also refute what Judge Dawson had told the jury
concerning the IRS’s legal authority to seize 100% of my Social Security
benefits had nothing to do with his decision..  

            (d) Along the same lines, the Government’s summary “expert,” IRS
Agent Clinton Lowder testified extensively concerning deposits to my bank
accounts which he claimed revealed that substantial amounts of money had been
deposited to my “eight bank accounts”  in connection with the years at issue.
When I had previously inquired about the relevance of all his testimony
regarding  these bank deposits, the Government claimed that it was related to
how much “income” I had received during this period.  I said, no it didn’t.   I
pointed out that it merely indicated how much money I had deposited to my bank
accounts and nothing more,  and depositing money to ones bank account is not a
crime – nor had I been charged with any such crime.  Such deposits might be
related to a crime if I had been charged with money laundering, or selling
products that were illegal.  I further pointed out that such  bank deposits
could  not be considered as being indicative of the receipt of  “income” unless
the Government put on an “expert” in the law, who would testify (and be subject
to cross-examination) that deposits to ones bank accounts constituted the
receipt of “income” within the meaning of Code Section 61. Since the Government
had not put on any such “expert” witness (since they knew I would have eaten
them up alive) they could not legally claim that mere bank deposits constituted
– to any degree-   the receipt of “income” within the meaning of Code section
61.   But Judge Dawson (illegally) did so anyway.   



            In addition, when I cross-examined Mr. Lowder  I asked him, “Isn’t
the purpose of your analysis of my bank deposits an attempt on your part to
estimate the amount of income taxes you believe I  omitted from the tax returns
I filed for the years at issue?”  I actually had to repeat that question three
or four times before I got a straight answer from him.   When he finally
admitted that was the purpose of his activity,  I asked:  “Isn’t it a fact that
section 6201(2) (A) gives the Secretary the authority to estimate the amount of
taxes that have been omitted to be paid by stamp, but no law authorizes the
Secretary (or the IRS) to estimate the amount of taxes that has been omitted
from an income tax return?”  “Objection! He is raising the law, your Honor.”
   “Sustained. Move on.”    “But your Honor, I asked that question merely to
show that the law does not allow Mr. Lowder to do what he claims he was doing.”
“Mr. Schiff: you have deliberately violated my order that you are not to raise
issues of law, nor argue with me when I sustain a Government objection;
therefore, you will be sanctioned for doing so.”     

            Of  course, no law authorizes the IRS (nor the Government at
criminal tax trials) to attribute to anyone more in income taxes than what they
reported on their tax returns.  Therefore, seeking to pursue another tack, I
said, “Mr. Lowder, when you attempt to analyze a persons various sources of
income and possible deductions and seek to calculate a tax that is different
from what that taxpayer reported on his return, do you do that legally or
illegally?”  “I do it legally” he immediately replied.   I was therefore poised
for my follow up question. “Mr. Lawder, have you ever seen a statute that
authorized you to calculate a tax that is different from what a taxpayer
reported on his return?”   “Objection”  “Sustained” “ But your Honor, I was
only…..” Sanction. You are deliberately doing it again.”   

In this way, Judge Dawson in criminal collusion with the Government,  sought to
prevent me from proving that no law authorized either the IRS,  Secretary of the
Treasury (or his delegate), or the Justice Department in this prosecution,  to
claim that I owed  more in income taxes than what I had reported on my “zero”
returns for all of the years at issue.    

(f)  Therefore,  during the presentation of its case the Government did not put
on one witness who would testify that I had any “income” or income tax
“liability” for any of the years at issue, or that anything (not one word,
sentence, or phrase)  in any of my books and tapes (including my “zero” return)
violated any law or encouraged anyone to violate any law – though such
allegations were contained throughout the indictment.  And though they had
undercover agents at both of my last seminars (a two day seminar held in Las
Vegas and a one day Seminar held in New York City) they played no excerpts from
either seminar as showing I had advocated violations of law at either seminar –
though such allegations were contained in indictment.[6]   And no less than  six
 government witnesses testified that they could find no law  that made them
“liable” for income taxes,  or required them “to pay” income taxes, and at least
four of them testified that they believed “income,” within  the meaning of the
IR Code,  meant  “corporate profit.”  In addition,  all three of my former
employees who were witnesses for the prosecution testified that at no time did
they, nor any of my other employees, ever believe that any of the material sold
and sent out by Freedom Books  encouraged anyone to violate any law,  nor did I
ever give them any reason to believe that I did  not hold my beliefs on taxes
other than  sincerely and honestly.   In  short,  the Government did not present
a scintilla of evidence to support any of allegations contained in its
indictment and we  should have gotten a direct verdict of acquittal at the close
of the government’s case. 

HOW JUDGE DAWSON SOUGHT TO OBSTRUCT JUSTICE BY PREVENTING  ME FROM PUTTING ON A
DEFENSE

            Judge Dawson sought to prevent me from putting on an effective
defense, by:

(1)   preventing me from calling witnesses whose testimony was crucial to my
defense;

(2)   preventing me from testifying in the most effective manner;

(3)   by blatantly misstating the law in his jury instructions, and

(4)   by refusing to give a proper jury instruction on the meaning of “income”
and by refusing to give a jury instruction that was favorable to my defense.   

 The fact that Judge Dawson would actually prevent me from calling witnesses
whose testimony was material to my defense was totally shocking to many of those
who attended my trial, as well as the witnesses who would not be allowed to
testify in the manner we had intended.   For example, a key  theme that was
repeated throughout the indictment was that I had prepared “false and fraudulent
documents” and gave tax advice to people which I “well knew and believed” was
false.   Such claims made to the grand jury D.O.J. prosecutors knew were false,
but they wanted to get an in indictment and didn’t care how many lies they had
to tell to the grand jury to get it.   Proof of this is that at trial, no
government witness testified that anything I said or wrote about was untrue –
let alone that I believed it was untrue   

At trial, I called as an adverse witness Special Agent  Sam Holland, who was the
man most responsible for generating the indictment.  He was the one who
illegally got the search warrant which was supported by his sealed affidavit
that accused me of everything but kidnapping the Lindberg baby.  In his sealed
affidavit Mr. Holland accused me of filing “false and fraudulent income tax
returns,” and of “encouraging” others to do the same, and  “instructing” and
“assisting” others to file…fraudulent Forms W-4.”  In The Federal Mafia I
explain how to do both.  So, if my instruction were false, that  could easily be
established by turning to where such documents are discussed in The Federal
Mafia.    However, when I called Sam Holland to the stand as an adverse witness
and   I asked him if he had read The Federal Mafia,  he said “No.” I had to ask
him that question before I could ask him any question about that book.  If he
had answered “yes,” my next question would have been, “Can you turn to any
statement in that book that misstates the law or encourages anyone to violate
the law?”  However, I couldn’t ask him that question, because he now claimed  he
had never read that book!    Here is the Government’s lead investigator
supposedly gathering evidence to support all of the charges in the indictment, 
and he claims not to have read a book of mine that the Government enjoined me
from selling because it promoted violations of our tax laws – and he claims not
to have that book??!!!  He undoubtedly poured over it, but  couldn’t find
anything in it that was untrue or encouraged people to violate the law. 
Therefore, he had to give that absurd and unbelievable answer in order to avoid
his total embarrassment if he were forced to answer what he knew was going to be
my follow up question.   

In addition while he was on the witness stand I place a “zero” return in front
of him and asked him to identify one statement on it that was false, and he was
unable to do so.  I believe the Government objected to my even asking him to
so. 

The point is, a claim that is fundamental to the government’s entire case was
its claim that I am essentially a liar and a charlatan and simply do not believe
what I say, write and teach in connection with income taxes.   To refute such a
claim, I was prepared to call no less than five attorneys who have known me over
the years and most of whom had represented me in various matters in connection
with my stand on income taxes.   All of them were prepared to testify that
overlooking the legal validity of my beliefs on the income tax,  they all
believed beyond any question that I held those beliefs honestly and sincerely. 
Their testimony alone would have knocked the Governments case into a cocked
hat.  But Judge Dawson would not let them testify.  Since California attorney
Noel Spaid had already flown in, I put her on as a character witness, but told
the other lawyers they need not show up, since they would not be allowed to
testify.

Also Judge Dawson would not allow the following persons to testify concerning
how they relied on my material and how I relied on research and in formation
they supplied to me:

1)     Former IRS Special Agent Joe Bannister

2)     Former  IRS Revenue Officer  John Turner

3)     Bob Schultz , Chairman of “We the People”

4)     The Government’s own clinical psychologist, Danial S. Hayes, Ph.D. L.L.C.
                whose analysis of me included the following:

… the research and documentation he believes to be in support of his beliefs,
and the commitment and passion with which he holds his beliefs to be true.  He
appears to have extremely rigid, fixed, inflexible, doggedly, determined
opinions and beliefs that cannot be changed by others’ reasoning. And, in this
case, even punishment has not had a corrective impact in his thinking or
behaviors. He appears impervious to any suggestion that he reconsider his
conclusions or his actions, in part because of the thorough research he has
conducted which has yielded evidence and facts to support his conclusions,
coupled with the fact that he considers himself to be an “expert” with knowledge
that supersedes that of any other individual claiming to have expertise in this
subject area.

Most people have beliefs that have a greater degree of flexibility and openness
to change than does Mr. Schiff.  Although some may have beliefs that parallel
Mr. Schiff’s, they differ from him in that they are unwilling to jeopardize
their freedom and suffer the consequences of their beliefs to the degree that
Mr. Schiff has.

As a result, it would be almost impossible at this point in his life to persuade
him that he is wrong, particularly since he feels that there are few if any
individuals who could match the breath and depth of knowledge he appears to have
as a result of the time, effort, focus, and intellect he has devoted to the
subject.

Any arguments against him are likely to be seen by him as naïve and sophomoric,
and he is likely to dismantle any such arguments quickly and handily by quick
reference to materials his opponent is unlikely to have at the ready for
consideration and rebuttal.

He holds these beliefs with such conviction that even the severe consequences of
incarceration for the rest of his natural life fails to shake his resolve.  This
does tend to set him apart from the average individual…He adamantly feels that
he has discovered something that is very important to the American people
regarding this nation’s economic and taxation practices, and whereas others who
are not driven by a Mood Disorder might be more open minded to arguments, weigh
personal consequences and elect not to pursue their campaign, Irwin Schiff has
chosen a route fraught with significant and possible disastrous consequences.”

            His analysis alone eliminated any claim of “willfulness” or that my
past convictions were “notice to me” that wiped out “willfulness” which is what 
the Government continually repeated in its final argument to the jury.  Both the
prosecutors and Judge Dawson knew that Judge Hayes’s report made such a claim
totally spurious.  

MORE TO FOLLOW:

[1] The job description of Special Agents (Exhibit A) clearly reveals that they
have no authority to investigate the alleged income tax liabilities of persons
residing within the continental USA;  Section 7608 (Exhibit B) reveals that the
only IRS agents (subsection (b)) who might have authority to enforce the payment
of income taxes [which falls into subtitle A] are those agents from the
“Intelligence  Division of the IRS whom the Secretary charges etc. etc. etc”;
however, the public never comes in contact with such agents;  while those agents
whom the public deals with, Special Agents and Revenue  Officers,  must fall
into section (a) and, therefore,  can  only have authority to enforce the
payment of  subtitle E  taxes, such as liquor, tobacco and firearms.

With respect to “pocket commissions” (Exhibit C): the IRS issues two types,
“enforcement” and “non-enforcement”  commissions.  All IRS seizures are done by
Revenue Officers who are only issued  “non-enforcement” pocket commissions,
which again  proves that they have no legal authority to seize anything, such
as:  bank accounts, wages, automobiles, stock portfolios, etc. etc. etc., which
they seize every day.   Thus all IRS Revenue Officers are essentially thieves
operating  under color of law  whose thievery is protected by their partners in
crime, the federal judiciary and  DOJ lawyers. 

[2] However, as the following will show, only misstatements of law come from the
bench. 

[3] Since I could not get expedited transcripts of  the actual testimony (even
though I was willing to pay extra for them) , these statements represent my best
recollection of what was actually testified to, since I do not, as yet,  have
actual transcripts.   

[4]  The Government never qualifies any of its witnesses as “experts” in tax
law.   The Government does this deliberately, so that none of its witnesses can
be cross-examined on the law itself.   However, their witnesses  continually
testify about the law without appearing to do so and without their being subject
to cross-examination on the “laws” they testify about.   The government
accomplishes this in the following manner.   Government witnesses continually
refer to such things as:   “income,”  “liability,” “deficiencies,” “levies,”
“seizures” as well as “CDP hearings” “ books and records,”  “concealment”  and
even the failure of the defendant  “to cooperate with the IRS, ” as if the IRS
did all of these things  legally  and the defendant was legally obligated  and
subject to what these terms imply.

However, all such terms involve a basis in law,  such as:  a statute (or the
lack of a statute) or, as in the case of “income,” a legal conclusion.  However,
defendants are prevented from cross-examining Government witnesses  concerning: 
(1) their use of these terms; (2) the  legal basis of such  terms ;  and  (3)
the substance of the  statutes in which these terms appear  – because both the
court and the Government will contend that since such witnesses  “have not been
qualified as  ‘experts’ in tax law, they cannot be cross-examined on the law.”

    In this manner, the Government deliberately and disingenuously has created a
situation where it is able to use Government witnesses to casually (but
effectively) testify about the “law,” but make it impossible for defendants to
impeach their  testimony by cross-examining them on the “laws” they raise and
refer to.   This diabolic scheme allows Government  witnesses to infer  that:

(1) the actions and activities of the defendant are illegal (when they generally
are not);

(2) that the actions and activities of the IRS are legal (when they generally
are not);  and

(3) allows Government witnesses (as well as the prosecutor and the court itself)
to use such terms as  “income” and  “liability” against defendants, when such
terms cannot apply to defendants  on any basis.     

  It should be noted that even in this case, the Government’s summary witness
was  not offered as an “expert” in tax law.  He was offered only as an “expert
in tax calculations, ” (whatever that means).  However, the Government
subsequently sought to sneak in his testimony as coming from an expert in
“income tax law.”  However, I prevented this from happening.  I am sure the
Government gets away with this at other tax trials.                 

[5] The Government sought  to mislead the jury concerning the purpose and nature
of my bank accounts – seeking to create the impression that I used eight bank
accounts to make my receipts less traceable.

    Mr. Lowder continually referred to “transfers” between  my “eight bank
accounts.”  Actually I only had four accounts (plus my PILL account) at any one
time.  When  the IRS illegally seized my bank accounts with Bank of America (and
ATM withdrawals from my PILL account saved the day, because it allowed me to pay
my employees and other creditors)   I opened up accounts with the Nevada  State
Bank because their Deposit Agreement said they would only turn over depositor
funds “pursuant to legal process” which eliminated IRS notices-of-levy (if their
differences were pointed out to them.)

   However,  they have since changed their Deposit Agreement to  make it more
compatible for them to illegally honor IRS notices -of -levy, which doing so, is
still a violation of Nevada State law.  In any case, two of the four accounts
were for the Freedom Foundation.  One account was interest bearing, the other
was not.   I kept funds not immediately needed in the interest bearing account,
and transferred funds to the non interest bearing checking account as needed. 
The two accounts I had for Freedom Books consisted of a merchant account and my
general checking account.  The merchant account is where credit card receipts
are automatically deposited by the company handling those funds, while checks
and other receipts are deposited directly into the checking account.

  So there was nothing devious or shady about having these four accounts (or the
eight the Government kept referring to) as the Government sought to
depict.       

[6] In addition, throughout the indictment I am accused of “knowing and
believing” that practically everything I teach and write about the income tax I
know to be false.  Can you believe it?

 



On April 26, 2005 Schiff filed a Motion to Dismiss, which the government Opposed
on May 24, 2005 to which Schiff Replied on May 27, 2005.

ALSO!   Read Irwin's Appeal to the 9th Circuit of Judge Philip Pro's totally
lawless granting of a Summary Judgment to the government in connection with its
$2.6 million civil lawsuit - more proof of the corruption of federal courts (and
the criminal character of the DOJ) in civil as well as criminal matters. 


For an excellent condensation see this Las Vegas Tribune article.

I am immediately appealing this Injunction to the Supreme Court to find out for
sure if the 1st Amendment no longer exists in America.



 



And to be on the safe side and not risk incarceration for contempt, for
allegedly violating the Court’s Order, I am not selling any of my other
informational packets and tapes until I can get clarification from Judge George
as to what information I can, and can not sell.    The Order itself is not
clear.  (Can you believe that an American citizen now has to worry about things
like this? But more on the Injunction further on, let me get to my pending
criminal trial and civil litigation) 



 

I believe that the pleadings and other documents now posted to this web site
make it pretty clear that the government has for over 50 years been illegally
prosecuting people in connection with income taxes in violation of:  (1) its
taxing powers as contained in the Constitution; and (2) the actual laws as
contained in the Internal Revenue Code itself.  It has been able to do this, I
suggest, because of the duplicity and lawlessness of the federal judiciary and
the Department of Justice   In short, I believe that if the American public knew
what has been going on, practically the entire federal judiciary would be behind
bars, along with practically every tax lawyer employed by the Justice
Department.  However, that is merely my opinion, you can read the following
pleadings and make up your own mind.    



 

Two weeks before my April 14, 2004 arraignment, I filed four motions to dismiss
all of the criminal charges filed against me.  The Memoranda of Law I filed to
support those motions explain why I concluded that federal district courts
lacked subject matter jurisdiction to prosecute me (or anyone else) for  alleged
income tax crimes,  because: 



(1) No law makes me “liable” for income taxes;

(2) The income tax is not “traceable” to any power given to Congress by the
Constitution to “lay and collect taxes”;

(3) The indictment were secured by fraud, because U.S. attorneys fraudulently
misled the grand jury concerning the legal meaning of “income” as that term is
used in our revenue laws;

(4) There is no provision in the Internal Revenue Code that gives federal courts
jurisdiction to prosecute anyone for alleged criminal violations of our income
tax laws.

Naturally, the government disagreed with all four of my conclusions.  On October
8, 2004 the Government filed it's answer opposing my four motions (click to read
its Response). On November 23, 2004 I filed my Reply to the Government’s
Response. By clicking here you can read my Reply.  

On December 3, 2004 U.S. Magistrate Judge Lawrence R. Leavitt filed his “Report”
recommending that U.S. District Court Judge Kent J. Dawson deny my four motions
to dismiss.  Please read U.S. Magistrate Judge Leavitt’s “Report” and my “Reply”

Read my Motion to Suppress all of the alleged evidence the Government
confiscated in its Feb. 11, 2003  raid on Freedom Books. My Memorandum of Law
argues that all such IRS searches and seizures  are illegal on a variety of
grounds, which (if my arguments are correct), means that untold numbers of
Americans have been prosecuted and convicted based upon illegally acquired
evidence. On December 21, 2004, U.S. Magistrate Judge Lawrence R. Leavitt filed
his “Report”, contesting my claim and recommending that U.S.D.C. Judge Kent J.
Dawson deny my "Motion to Suppress".  To read my reply to his report click here.

Apart from the federal government filing criminal charges against me, it also
filed a civil lawsuit against me seeking to reduce to judgment some $2.4 million
in income taxes, fraud and interest penalties it claimed I owed for the years
1979-1985. As I argue in my pleadings, I do not  owe the Government ONE DIME for
any of those years. The government sought to reduce to judgment assessments
(which I claimed were both fraudulent and time barred) it had made against me
for those years. The actual taxes I allegedly owed for those years amounted to
about $300,000.   The government now seeks to extract from me an amount in taxes
and penalties that would exceed IN MULTIPLES what I could have conceivably
grossed for those years.    

What medieval tyrant ever sought to extract from a conquered enemy far more in
tribute than the vanquished nation could conceivably possess?  But the pleadings
I filed in this case, reveal, I suggest, why federal courts do not have subject
matter jurisdiction to proceed against anyone either criminally or civilly in
connection with income taxes.    

The taxes I allegedly owe for 1980-1985 were based on coerced tax returns I
filed during a contrived probation violation hearing in the hopes that they
would save me from being sent back to jail for allegedly violating the terms of
my probation – which would be completed in only a week or so.  (See The Federal
Mafia pp 281-283 for a full explanation) The taxes I allegedly owe for the 1979
are based upon a sham Tax Court determination (See The Federal Mafia pp
260-263), but were, in any case, no longer collectable, as explained in my Rule
59 pleading.  In any case, for a variety of reasons, I was entitled to have an
impartial jury decide the entire matter. Instead, the government moved for a
summary judgment, so the controversy could be settled, not by an impartial jury,
but by a lone federal judge, who could be expected to be less impartial than a
jury of private citizens.  Time and again federal courts have ruled that when a
constitutional right collides with the government’s alleged  “need” for revenue,
it is the constitutional right that must yield.   

On June 13, 2004 U.S. Federal Judge, Philip M. Pro granted the government its
summary judgment. In moving for summary judgment the government literally buried
me in a variety of legal pleadings and documents, which had to be addressed if I
were to defeat its motion. Eventually, I discovered that: (1) the statute the
government used to impose the fraud penalties could not apply to me on any
basis, and (2) Judge Pro had based his ruling on a legal assumption that simply
could not apply in this case. Therefore, his summary judgment in my view is
clearly void as a matter of law just on these two grounds alone. Both issues are
fully set forth in the documents that I have now posted to this website.

Since I believe that Judge Pro’s ruling is erroneous on a variety of grounds, on
July 20, 2004 I moved that he “alter, amend, or vacate” his ruling pursuant to a
Rule 59 motion. On September 3, 2004, I filed another motion requesting that he
dismiss the government’s lawsuit altogether because I believe he lacked subject
matter jurisdiction to even hear this case

On August 13, 2004 the government answered my Rule 59 Motion.  I Replied on
September 3rd (click here for my Reply). On September 16, the Government
answered my motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction, which I answered on
September 3, 2004. (Click here for my answer) On January 18, 2005 U.S. District
Judge Philip M. Pro denied without comment, my rule 59 motions, and also denied
without comment my motion in connection with his alleged lack of jurisdiction. 
Since he gave no reasons to support these decisions, on Jan 27th, 2005 I filed a
motion requesting  “Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law.”  In any case, I
have already served notice that I am appealing both of his rulings to the 9th
Circuit Court of Appeals. Read my appeal.

All of this information can be accessed by clicking the items listed below. 

In addition I have filled numerous other pleadings in connection with the above
litigation.  I am in the process of posting these additional pleadings and the
government’s responses to this web site.  To get to these pleadings and to find
out how the government and the court may have responded click here.

ALSO! Read Irwin's 9th Circuit Appeal of Judge Philip Pro's totally
lawless granting of a Summary Judgment to the government in connection with its
$2.6 million civil lawsuit - more proof of the corruption of federal courts (and
the criminal character of the DOJ) in civil as well as criminal matters. 

 

 

Getting back to Judge Lloyd D. George’s Preliminary Injunction,  it appears from
his Order and other statements he made at the Preliminary hearing that if I cut
out certain pages from  “The Federal Mafia: How The Government Illegally Imposes
and Unlawfully Collects Income Taxes, I might be able to sell a sanitized
version.   Apparently by advertising other books and tapes in the back of  this
book I converted the book  to “commercial speech,” thus denying it 1st Amendment
protection. (Does this make sense to anybody?)

 

Therefore, for now, Freedom Books will only sell my other books and such related
books as: (1) the Internal Revenue Code (unless I am enjoined from selling that
too); (2) Title 28; (3) 26 C.F.R, a 5-volume set;  (4) Sen. William V. Roth’s
book, “The Power to Destroy” (Its dust jacket claims that the book contains
“Shocking revelations about the IRS…[such as] … How the IRS – with near absolute
authority granted by Congress – plays judge, jury, and executioner, depriving
countless taxpayers of basic rights.)”

 

It was Roth’s Senate Committee that investigated the IRS in 1997 and uncovered
wide scale IRS abuse of taxpayers); and (5) the book “Fundamentals of Litigation
For Paralegals.” (Incredibly, the government has passed a law that compels all
Americans to acquire the litigating skills of professional lawyers.  How else
can you fight the “deprivation” of your rights that Senator Roth speaks about?) 
I will also still sell (for $5.00) my color - coded Guide to the Constitution of
the United States and Declaration of Independence.  One cannot help but feel a
twinge of nostalgia upon reading the Constitution, since it poignantly reminds
us of days gone by.  All of these books were available on my Online Store.

 

It's also important to note that in my appeal to the 9th Circuit my lawyer did
not argue the merits of my beliefs.  He could only argue that regardless of what
my book said, it was protected by the 1st Amendment. If he argued the merits of
my beliefs he would have been sanctioned by the court, since my beliefs are not
in accord with what appellate courts have ruled our tax laws say, and lawyers
are apparently bound by what appellate courts say the law is  – and cannot argue
otherwise.

 

This is one of the reasons I am representing myself in my pending criminal trial
since no lawyer can argue the merits (if any) of my income tax beliefs in
federal courts or they will be sanctioned.

 

Along these lines, I cannot see how my beliefs on income taxes can mislead
anyone.  Apart from checking my beliefs against the law itself - would I sell
the Internal Revenue Code if it contradicted what I say in my books?  - all of
my books cite numerous court decisions:  over 100 such decisions are cited in
"The Federal Mafia" alone.

 

However, not only am I posting Judge Lloyd D. George’s entire 35 page
Preliminary Injunction to this website (as he ordered me to do), which contains
his analysis as to why Cindy Neun, Larry Cohen and myself prepared “false tax
returns and other tax-related documents …(because)… These returns and documents
falsely report that their customers have no taxable income and no tax
liability.” (Page 13)  In addition, I have also posted to this website numerous
Responses from different sets of Justice Department lawyers who also argue and
contest my views regarding the meaning of  “income” and whether or not there is
a law making anyone “liable” for income taxes.

 

In addition I have also posted  three “Reports and Recommendations” from U.S.
Magistrate Judge Lawrence R. Leavitt who also argues that  my views on these
issues are dead wrong.

 

Therefore, in view of all these official, legal voices all explaining – on this
website - why my views on income taxes are dead wrong, how can anyone be misled
by me?

 

I urge everyone to read all of the pleadings now posted to this website filed by
U.S. attorneys and the court all claiming that my understanding of our income
tax laws is dead wrong.  (More such  pleadings and documents  will be posted to
this web site as they become available)  I, therefore, urge everyone to: (1)
check out the Internal Revenue Code itself; (2) consult with your lawyer and/or
accountant concerning any and all material contained on this website and
anything I might have written and said about income taxes; and (3) ask the IRS
itself, before you rely on anything I might have said or written in connection
with income taxes.

 

Remember, all federal judges and U.S. attorneys maintain that much of what I say
about income taxes is dead wrong, and in many cases, might even constitute tax
evasion.  I, of course, do not agree with that, since I would never advocate
violations of law – which is why I sell the law and its implementing
regulations. However, I may even be “delusional,” so don’t take my word for
anything, without checking out all of the underlying facts and what the IRS, the
DOJ, and the courts  have to say about the matter.

 

On pages 33 – 35 of the Preliminary Injunction you will find all the things I
have been ordered to do by the Court.   Remember, I am appealing the
constitutionality of this Injunction to the Supreme Court and hopefully that
Court will accept certiorari.

 

For those of you who would like to help me make that voyage to the Supreme Court
so I can attempt to salvage that portion of the 1st Amendment that guarantees
“freedom of speech, and of the press,” contributions for that voyage  will be
gratefully accepted – since if I allow this Injunction to stand, the 1st
Amendment is effectively dead in America. The briefs we filed on this issue with
the 9th Circuit Appeal will shortly be posted to this web site.

 

Also Judge Lloyd D. George’s Preliminary Injunction order, was based on a
hearing in which the government did not put on one witness that I could
cross-examine.  I, on the other hand, demanded to be put under oath and
challenged the government to cross-examine me and identify any passage in any of
my books that encouraged people to break the law.  They refused to do so even
though I offered to (1) stop selling all of my books; and (2) not oppose their
Injunction if they did so.  You can listen to the 2-½ hour hearing by clicking
here.

The primary reason the government gave, for banning The Federal Mafia was that
it contains information on how to file a “zero” return. The government claimed
that my “zero” return promoted tax evasion and was somehow tied in to
“commercial speech,” therefore; The Federal Mafia was not protected by the 1st
Amendment.  However, I have now posted the “zero” return I personally filed for
the year 2003 on this website.  Therefore, anyone can have the information free
of charge. So, where is the “commercial speech”?  

I have also posted to this website a wage statement that shows how the IRS
(actually the U.S. Government) goes about confiscating 90% of a person’s wages
without hearings or court orders of any kind. Is this the action of a “great
nation”?

If you'd like to help rid America of this economically destructive and illegally
enforced “tax,” help disseminate these pleadings far and wide. The Government
and all of its minions obviously are trying to crush me in order to prevent me
from informing and educating the American public concerning how it illegally and
destructively collects income taxes – and what the public might do to protect
itself.

 

Besides having unlimited manpower to come at me, the Government also has a
printing press which allows it to (illegally) print as much fiat currency as it
needs to do the job. I, of course, have no such printing press. All I have to
fight with is truth, and whatever energy I can muster at age 76.


However, fighting the Government both civilly and criminally takes both time and
money. So if you would like to help me financially fight a Government whose
lawless enforcement of the income tax has literally bankrupted this Nation, and
converted it into being the world’s biggest debtor Nation, while destroying its
railroads, shipping lines, and most of its factories, you can mail contributions
to Freedom Books, 444 East Sahara, Las Vegas, Nevada 89104. Or buy copies of the
books and research from Freedom Books.

 
However, not only has the federal government been illegally collecting income
taxes, as is clearly shown in the documents now posted to this web site, but it
has been the lawless, irresponsible and destructive collection of this tax that
is responsible for the disappearance of practically America’s entire industrial
base and our total dependence on foreign capital to fund federal deficits. Where
50 years ago practically all the products American’s used and wore were made in
America, almost nothing we use or ware is made in America today.  And it is not
cheap foreign labor that has driven American jobs overseas, but the Government’s
destructive economic and fiscal policies (pushed by both Democrat and Republican
administrations) that have done it.


I saw this happening 30 years ago, which is why I wrote The Biggest Con: How the
Government is Fleecing You. The last two chapters of that book are entitled,
“The Decline of U.S. Economic Power – How the Government and the Federal Reserve
Arranged It” and “The Solution to America’s Economic and Social Problems.” A
more simplified version is covered in How An Economy Grows and Why It Doesn’t,
published in 1985.


The solution to the problem of job loss in America and “outsourcing” is the same
today as it was when I focused on the problem some 30 years ago. Lou Dobbs of
CNN has been talking about this problem for months. So I sent him an e-mail on
the subject, since none of his guests appeared to have a clue as to why this is
happening and what we should do about it. Read my economic commentary to Lou
Dobbs.  "When will Lou Dobbs get it right?".

 

Why not write or e-mail Lou Dobbs and ask him to have me on his show, since its
about time the American public heard someone on network TV who knows something
about the problem; why it developed, and what steps the Nation must take if the
problem is to be solved, if it is not already too late.


Purchase my books, research and other information now for there is no guarantee
that the 9th Circuit will reverse its Opinion sustaining the First Amendment
injunction. Get all of the truth while you still can.


Welcome to Amerika.
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


[1] For all practical purposes, the income tax started in 1943 when the
Government instituted the “withholding tax” as a temporary, wartime measure and
called it a “Victory Tax.” Congressmen would have risked being lynched had they
attempted to pass a law, during peacetime that took taxes out of the paychecks
of working Americans. However, with 10 million Americans under arms and numerous
servicemen dying everyday, how could those on the home front object to a
“Victory Tax”? In this manner, Congress was able to pass a tax that was
unconstitutional on a variety of grounds, (for one such surprising ground See
the Federal Mafia - PP159-161), and the federal government has been growing like
a cancer ever since.
 

50 years ago Americans generated the savings needed to fund federal deficits.
But for a number of years, the government has been  encouraging Americans  to
spend (and not save), since this is how  government statisticians and economists
(idiotically) measure American “prosperity,” not by how much Americans produce
and save, but how much Americans  spend and consume.  However, when Americans
spend, practically all the products they now buy are manufactured in foreign
countries.  Therefore, American consumer spending does not enrich Americans, it
enriches those foreign workers who produce the products that Americans now buy.

 

Therefore, when our government needs money to fund its deficits, it can’t look
to Americans, since Americans are hard at work “spending” not “saving.”
Therefore, our government now has to rely on foreigners to fund its deficits.  
So, where once American factories produced the consumer goods that gave America
the world’s highest standard of living, and where its economy  generated the
savings needed to finance federal deficits, today the American economy produces
neither. 

 

America, thanks to federal programs designed to promote: “The New Deal,” “The
Fair Deal,” “The Great Society,” The New Frontier,” and the “Welfare State,”
(all variations of socialism) have resulted in America now becoming totally
dependant on: (1) the consumer goods produced by foreigners (and their
willingness to ship them to us on credit), and (2) the willingness of foreigners
to lend us their money, so our federal government can pay its bills.  What
 happens to the American standard of living (to say nothing of America’s ability
to wage war) when foreign nations no longer want to do either?  So, America’s
once great, economy, which took past generations of productive Americans
approximately 300 years to build (under a free enterprise system which no longer
exists here),  Washington D.C. politicians  managed to destroy in approximately
50 years of meddling.  Tragically,  the day must inevitably arrive when somebody
will write a book entitled, “The Rise and Fall of America.”
