The Post Office is spying on Americans

Original Article

Posted By: Magnante, 4/22/2021 4:24:57 AM

Yahoo News, which is a hard left partisan outfit, committed an act of journalism this week: It discovered that the United States Post Office has been running a “covert operations program” to monitor Americans’ social media posts for inflammatory information. That sounds like a bipartisan sin of officiousness that, despite the public nature of many posts, can leak into being a Fifth Amendment violation. However, when you dig more deeply into the article, you discover that the Post Office is concerned only with “right-wing” inflammatory information.

Maybe this is an answer as to why we can't get our mail delivered as fast as usual. I don't know about the rest of you but I'm receiving some bills after the bills are due. The old Post Office slogan about delivering the mail come rain or snow, hell or high water has gone down the drain. Can we bill them for the "late payment" costs ?

Don't participate in any social media platforms. Cancel your accounts, delete the apps. They are using you and you are allowing it.

Gosh, maybe THAT is why my packages take weeks to get to me, why it took 3 1/2 months for Christmas cards to travel 700 miles, why there is a 50:50 chance that my Epoch Times will be delivered this week, and the counter staff at my local branch act like local representatives of Hades Inc. What I was attributing to affirmative action hiring and poor work ethic with abysmal customer service skills is actually a planned operation. The ability to ignore 1/5 ratings by customers on-line is actually an identification system for their victims - it is all clear now.

This from an organization that can’t balance a budget or do their only job of delivering mail well. No more federal bailouts for them.

Soon, (probably already), You will be put on an USPS/FBI/CIA/DOJ/DHS/FDA etc. watch list if you send to or receive mail from any Trump, Desantis, Abbot etc. campaign, send a check to a Right to Life organization or A Kyle Rittenhouse Defense fund, if you order dietary supplements or seeds from infowars, receive a catalog from anyone who sells shooting supplies etc. etc.etc., Of course if you post comments here at Lucianne, or FR, Or Conservative Treehouse etc, you are already on a terrorist watch list, so I guess getting on the USPS list is no big additional deal.

Have had the impression that USPS has been monitoring our mail since 9/11. Its not unusual to get a piece of mail torn open at a corner. Maybe the damage occurred naturally or maybe the envelope was torn open so they could check the contents inside. As for the USPS monitoring social media, what business is that of there's? I don't see how they can even justify what they are doing. Monitoring mail is one thing, but they have no right to monitor anything else. Yet another example of government over reach. They will take your freedoms. In this case, your right to free speech.

For over the past two years we have noticed the Post Office has changed. Our Amish friends mailed a food package from Indiana but never it never arrived via the mail to us in California. Apparently someone in the Post Office likes Amish food. Even within the Bay Area, we've had mail never delivered to our friends. Even though the address was correct. Sent a letter to the Post Mistress in Los Gatos, CA asking for help to find an important letter that was missing. Crickets!!! They are arrogant and don't care about us the taxpayers!

The Post Office has always been an instrument of spying. The mail goes to the post office, and the government opens it, reads, reseals, and forwards it to you. This has been done by Kings and Queens for centuries. I would not place any trust in the government.

They did this because the laws and regulations governing the postal inspectors is different than other police. So they have free reign. It’s also reliably Democrat top to bottom. Same reason they used a game warden to cut my lock and snoop around my property for non-existent poaching — they were looking for anything to get a political enemy. So break no laws. Keep stuff clean. And stay off social media. Because they are coming for you and will selectively enforce laws.

Americans are proud of their right to property, not enjoyed by people in many democracies. As the Cato Institute puts it, our founding fathers understood that private property is the foundation of prosperity and freedom. But California's 46-year-old Agricultural Labor Relations Act (ALRA) violates that constitutional principle, and it even fails to protect farm workers. It allows union officials and pickets to invade farms — for three hours every day, for 120 days a year — and harangue, coerce, and arm-twist farm workers into joining the union and engaging in collective bargaining with growers even when they're happy with their working conditions and pay.

Rarely do the generation experiencing the actual events and decisions that lead to their nation's demise fully appreciate the enormity of their oversight until sometime after their culture's destruction has been rendered incurable. Largely, it is not due so much to their negligence as it is to most of them being too preoccupied with simply living and making a living. Perhaps that would explain why, in just the first four months of 2021, the Supreme Court issued four decisions — or, perhaps better viewed as non-decisions — that should have caused all legitimately patriotic Americans to be alarmed and called to action...but did not seem to.

In some ways, she did. (snip) Had Maxine kept her mouth shut, a simple conviction without a strong basis for a mistrial on appeal would cut short the mayhem in the streets. A pause in the bedlam is not good for the left, whose entire existence and justification is predicated on being the party of racializing everything — especially relationships between black communities and white cops.

It is designed to allow the Biden administration to deprive American citizens and organizations of their rights and property by arbitrarily linking those persons to real, imagined, or vaguely defined activities of the Russian government. The Biden administration unilaterally makes the determination and requires neither criminal acts nor intent.

The Biden Department of Education has quietly proposed a new rule prioritizing the use of federal tax dollars for K-12 schools that replace traditional education with “culturally responsive teaching and learning” – more commonly referred to as critical race theory. This is the most significant move by the federal government to redefine the nature of state-funded public schools in U.S. history. Although the current effort to push public schools receiving federal funding to adopt a detailed indoctrination agenda may feel new and overwhelming for parents, the truth is that the Biden attempt is simply the last phase in a decades-
