Death of a Patriot
by Peter Schiff
My father Irwin A. Schiff was born Feb. 23rd 1928, the 8th child and only son of Jewish immigrants, who had crossed the Atlantic twenty years earlier in search of freedom. As a result of their hope and courage my father was fortunate to have been born into the freest nation in the history of the world. But when he passed away on Oct. 16th, 2015 at the age of 87, a political prisoner of that same nation, legally blind and shackled to a hospital bed in a guarded room in intensive care, the free nation he was born into had itself died years earlier.

My father had a life-long love affair with our nations founding principals and proudly served his country during the Korean War, for a while even having the less then honorable distinction of being the lowest ranking American soldier in Europe. While in college he became exposed to the principles of Austrian economics through the writings of Henry Hazlitt and Frederick Hayek. He first became active in politics during Barry Goldwaters failed 1964 p**********l bid. His activism intensified during the Vietnam Era when he led local grass root efforts to resist Yale Universitys plans to conduct aid shipments to North Vietnam at a time when that nation was actively fighting U.S. forces in the south. Later in life he staged an unsuccessful write in campaign for governor of Connecticut, then eventually lost the Libertarian Partys p**********l nomination to Harry Brown in 1996.

In 1976 his beliefs in free market economics, limited government, and strict interpretation of the Constitution led him to write his first book The Biggest Con: How the Government is Fleecing You, a blistering indictment of the post New Deal expansion of government in the United States. The book achieved accolades in the mainstream conservative world, receiving a stellar review in the Wall Street Journal, among other mainstream publications.

But my father was most known for his staunch opposition to the Federal Income Tax, for which the Federal Government labeled him a tax protester. But he had no objection to lawful, reasonable taxation. He was not an anarchist and believed that the state had an important, but limited role to play in market based economy. He opposed the Federal Governments illegal and unconstitutional enforcement and collection of the income tax. His first book on this topic (he authored six books in total) How Anyone Can Stop Paying Income Taxes, published in 1982 became a New York Times best seller. His last, The Federal Mafia; How the Government Illegally Imposes and Unlawfully collects Income Taxes, the first of three editions published in 1992, became the only non-fiction, and second and last book to be banned in America. The only other book being Fanny Hill; Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure, banned for obscenity in 1821 and 1963.

His crusade to force the government to obey the law earned him three prison sentences, the final one being a fourteen-year sentence that he began serving ten years ago, at the age of 77. That sentence turned into a life sentence, as my father failed to survive until his planned 2017 release date. However in actuality the life sentence amounted to a death sentence. My father died from skin cancer that went undiagnosed and untreated while he was in federal custody. The skin cancer then led to a virulent outbreak of lung cancer that took his life just more than two months after his initial diagnosis.

The unnecessarily cruel twist in his final years occurred seven years ago when he reached his 80th birthday. At that point the government moved him from an extremely low security federal prison camp in New York State where he was within easy driving distance from family and friends, to a federal correctional institute, first in Indiana and then in Texas. This was done specially to give him access to better medical care. The trade off was that my father was forced to live isolated from those who loved him. Given that visiting him required long flights, car rentals, and hotel stays, his visits were few and far between. Yet while at these supposed superior medical facilities, my father received virtually no medical care at all, not even for the cataracts that left him legally blind, until the skin cancer on his head had spread to just about every organ in his body.

At the time of his diagnosis in early August of this year, he was given four to six mouths to live. We tried to get him out of prison on compassionate release so that he could live out the final months of his life with his family, spending some precious moments with the grandchildren he had barely known. But he did not live long enough for the bureaucratic process to be completed. Two months after the process began, despite the combined help of a sitting Democratic U.S. congresswoman and a Republican U.S. senator, his petition was still sitting on someones desk waiting for yet another signature, even though everyone at the prison actually wanted him released. Even as my father lay dying in intensive care, a phone call came in from a lawyer and the Bureau of Prisons in Washington asking the prison medical representatives for more proof of the serious nature of my fathers condition.

As the cancer consumed him his voice changed, and the prison phone system no longer recognized it, so he could not even talk with family members on the phone during his finale month of life. When his condition deteriorated to the point where he needed to be hospitalized, government employees blindly following orders kept him shackled to his bed. This despite the fact that escape was impossible for an 87 year old terminally ill, legally blind patient who could barley breathe, let alone walk.

Whether or not you agree with my fathers views on the Federal Income Tax, or the manner by which it is collected, its hard to condone the way he was treated by our government. He held his convictions so sincerely and so passionately that he continued to espouse them until his dying breath. Like William Wallace in the final scene of Braveheart, an oppressive government may have succeeded in k*****g him, but they did not break his spirit. And that spirit will live on in his books, his videos, and in his children and grandchildren. Hopefully his legacy will one day help restore the lost freedoms he died trying to protect, finally allowing him to rest in peace.

Death of a Patriot br by Peter Schiff br My father... (show quote)

Irwin Schiff was only a patriot if you consider not paying taxes patriotic, which some do I guess. Our tax system is messed up and needs reforming, but I don't consider Schiff necessarily a patriot, a criminal yes, patriot, no. After all, he did die in prison. I don't like paying taxes either, but I am not stupid enough to stop paying and go to prison over it. Don't like the current system, change it at the b****t box...oh boy, I probably stepped in it here, here comes eagleye13's Bilderbergs, CFR, NWO, FUBAR, SNAFU, et al bulls**t reponse!

I loved his lectures. good sense of humor. I have many of his books.

A real patriot fighting for t***h and freedom, against the mis applied Income tax. Foisted on unwary Americans by a corrupt Federal Government, in partnership with the banking cabal.

Gutless worm? Want to try and say that in front of my face? Any time, pal.

Schiff is a moron, a tax dodging criminal. When I lived in Las Vegas, he was on the local news all the time, and was considered a kook.

eagleye, The Constitution says that the government can not stop you from publishing a book. It's called prior restraint. I have no idea why anybody would want to read anything you would write with the exception of Hamas and Islamic Jihad, but the government can't stop you!

Coming from a Political Z*****t, this is no surprise; "I have no idea why anybody would want to read anything you would write with the exception of Hamas and Islamic Jihad"
BTW Irwin Schiff was a Jewish patriot, who tried to wake Americans to the banking cabal's income tax s**m, used to fleece the working middle class. So who is being anti-Jew here.
Are Bilderberger Z*****ts and their dupes a bigger problem?
IMO- Here is the big problem.
Who has been doing the influencing to get our politicians elected? BIG money and the favorable MSM.
Who owns the MSM? I hope more people start figuring this out. Moslems do not own the MSM. Up until OB; there was very little Moslem influence.
Who got OB elected? More Americans better figure this out. Moslems do not get politicians elected.
This country has been getting screwed for many decades.
By Moslems?
*****Who funds "radical" Islam is the question to answer.
Who will pay attention to covert US foreign policy and share?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMjXbuj7BPI&feature=player_detailpage
The old Marxist divide and conquer ploy is being used again. Americans used to live together in relative peace.
I have sent this out many times; I hope everyone copies and shares it.
The Network Media claims that Muslims and their sharia law (which is terrible) is a BIG threat; BUT
MSM ignores who has infiltrated our government and bought our politicians with internationalist, Council on foreign Relations (CFR) vetting.
Who has any idea of who owns the MSM? (who's propaganda are we being fed daily?)
Who has any idea of who has control of public education? (NEA, common core, text book se*****rs and publishers. Etc.)
Who has any idea of who has control of US foreign policy? (CFR vetted politicians in both parties for decades)
Who has any idea of who has control of our economy? (The private Federal Reserve)
Who has any idea of who is financially enslaving the world, with their usury? Including the USAs ($18 trillion debt), via The FED, IMF, World Bank, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, and the rest.
How is it that MSM ignores that Z*****ts have been behind the Muslim and illegal emigrations for decades? (diversity is good has been the internationalists propaganda)
Decades of /NeoCON/NWO/ /Bilderbergers Foreign Policy has got America involved in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syria, Libya, Egypt, Yemen, Ukraine and ETC. The warmongers are still pushing for Ukraine, Syria and Iran. Our Allies have become enemies over and over and over! Most recent; the US armed the radical Sunnis (ISIS) in Syria to fight Assads Shiite government in Syria. Now the US is fighting the ISIS/Sunni/Al-Qaida slaughter going on in Iraq but arming and funding ISIS in Syria.. The NeoCONs (ie. FOX, John McCain, Lindsey Graham, John Bolton, Krauthammer, and other CFR pundits), continue to push for attack of the Shiite governments in Syria and Iran.
According to our Talking Heads on network TV, all Shiites are our enemies, but according to the MSM, it was Saudi Sunnis attacking on 911. Not Shiites.

I can only hope some here take the time to read, research and think.
The 911 attack (Google: 911, Building 7 and You Tube it also. The alleged perps on the planes were Saudi Sunnis; not Iraqi Shiites.

We are to Beware of the Boogie Man! The One that the NWO manipulators created, funded and armed.
The t***h is attainable for anyone who gives a damn, and who takes some time to get to the t***h. Americans are being set up for some really bad turmoil (martial law under Dept. of Homeland Security), and the Powers That Be will deliver their planned solutions (Google and You Tube FEMA camps, Agenda 21 for starters).
IMHO - These will be really bad solutions for those that care about liberty, freedom, our standard of living, and our Constitution.

Hey, Eagle,
Take the high road brother.
We're out here listening and appreciating your research and thoughts.

You must remember Eagle, there are those in society that fell off a beet truck and, no doubt, took three(3) years to get thru the 3rd grade.
Some just don't realize there are 28 pages in the famous 911 report that are restricted or classified reading.
You know what I'm referring to...
Keep up the good work(:

Salty; you can join AIPAC, They can use another t*****r to America. Yep; put Israel first, and show your colors.
Thanks for the honesty.
Others here will appreciate that.
"we have a saying, fogetaboutit!" you wish!

"Nobody but Muslims, people that don't like Jews."
There you go again. The only "Jews" I am against are those that put Israel first, and those subverting our constitution.
That includes all Americans that do that unwittingly.

As for the Bilderberg Group, the Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission, anyone can research these groups. It does take time, and a stomach.
