> Washington, DC -- BOOK BANNED IN AMERICA WHILE TROOPS DIE FOR FREEDOM
> 
> April 4, 2003 -- 1:05 am PST www.NewsWithViews.com
> 
> Irwin Schiff is a well known author with over 500,000 books 
> in print about the economy and the income tax. He is also now 
> amongst the few who have had a book banned by the U.S. 
> Government. On March 19, 2003, Federal Judge Lloyd George 
> ordered Schiff to stop selling his book "The Federal Mafia" 
> which has been in print for over 13 years. According to 
> Schiff the Federal Government is using the American people's 
> preoccupation with the war in Iraq as an opportunity to 
> squelch freedom here at home.
> 
> Mr Schiff says, "The 1st Amendment is designed so people can 
> have opinions different from the government and there is no 
> legal basis whatsoever for banning my book. Its all 
> contrived, it's bull***t. The government is banning the book 
> because the information is accurate and correct."
> 
> With the exception of the Las Vegas Review Journal, there has 
> been very limited press about this book banning. Mr. Schiff 
> attributes this to the timing of the government's actions. He said,
> 
> "The reason there haven't been more articles is that the 
> government banned the book the day the war broke out. A 
> number of people have already told me they wanted to do 
> material but because of the war they couldn't. For example, 
> Alan Combs, of Hannity and Combs, said he couldn't believe 
> they banned my book and that he would love to do something, 
> but they were really pressed because of the war. I really 
> believe the reason they issued their restraining order on the 
> day they did was so the war would cover it up . If there was 
> no war going on, this would be a major story throughout the 
> country. Also, it's fear of an IRS audit that keeps the media 
> in line to a large extent."
> 
> Mr. Schiff was asked to explain why a book that had been in 
> print and circulating freely for over 13 years was suddenly 
> banned. He replied,
> 
> "The answer is easy. Within the last 2 months I started 
> advertising nationally. My ads were on major stations. For 
> instance, in L.A. I was on station 97.1 with Howard Stern and 
> Tom Leicus . I was also on the Michael Savage show two times 
> a day. Until this year I didn't advertise nationally, and my 
> business really picked up. Businessmen were hearing my 
> commercial, calling me, and buying my book. The book is very 
> persuasive; it was becoming increasingly more popular."
> 
> According to Schiff's website (www.paynoincometax.com), Judge 
> George's order also bars Schiff from lecturing on the Income 
> Tax. Mr. Schiff was asked if his free speech rights were 
> being violated.
> 
> "Absolutely" said Irwin. "This is a pure violation of my 1st. 
> Amendment rights. I have been doing a radio show on KLAV for 
> the last seven years. They got a call from the FCC lawyer 
> telling them not to let me on. I told KLAV that I wouldn't 
> advertise my book, I just wanted to explain to my audience 
> how my book was banned, and wanted the audience to know they 
> didn't even take any testimony. The Judge didn't even look at 
> the book. But apparently KLAV is so intimidated by the IRS, 
> they wouldn't honor my contract with them."
> 
> Irwin Schiff's books also include The Great Income Tax Hoax 
> and How Anyone Can Stop Paying Income Tax. Mr. Schiff was 
> asked why only The Federal Mafia was banned but not his other 
> books. He replied,
> 
> "The reason they don't like The Federal Mafia is because it 
> provides a method whereby the public can avoid paying income 
> tax without running the risk of being charged criminally. The 
> other books expose the illegal collection of income taxes but 
> don't provide the method to stop paying."
> 
> According to Schiff the banning of his book may be a first in 
> American History. He stated,
> 
> "This has never happened before," said Schiff. "This is prior 
> restraint. Never to my knowledge has a book on economics and 
> taxes been banned. The only books that have been banned were 
> primarily pornographic, like Tropic of Cancer. Never before 
> has a book been banned primarily because the government 
> didn't agree with what was written. Americans should be 
> shouting from the rooftops. If the government can do this, 
> the Constitution is really dead. People should go to my 
> website and download a letter to the editor and send it off. 
> They shut me down because they don't like what I say. The 
> minute the government can shut you down because they don't 
> like what you say, it's all
> over: that's the mark of a police state. People should write 
> their Congressmen."
> 
> Schiff's final statement was, "As U.S. forces seek to bring 
> democracy and freedom to Iraq, the U.S. government is seeking 
> to eliminate it here."
