- Editor's Note: I've already had a first hand experience
with this latest dictum from Big Brother Bush and his Illuminati pals.
We have a post office distribution center in Santa Ana, California which
allows you to send out mail up to10PM in the evening. You can't get your
package weighed and stamped by a counter person, but they have stamp machines
there which vend stamps. I've been going there to send packages in the
evening for the past four years or so. About two months ago, I was told
by one particularly obedient postal worker that anyone attempting to send
packages with just stamps must first show ID before they will accept the
package. I asked who said that and he said that some inspector from the
FAA came there and laid this requirement on them (911 terrorists, don't
you know). I asked him since when did the FAA have the authority to dictate
policy to the US Postal Service-and more importantly, to US citizens. He
didn't have an answer other than to say that the FAA controls the planes
that fly the packages and they said that packages with stamps require an
ID from the sender. I told him I wasn't going to show him any ID or give
up any other constitutional liberty because some nameless federal bureaucrat
said I had to and I left.
-
- Since then, I've been content to send my packages during
normal daytime hours, but now I see they are pulling the net tighter-as
they always do. The process is always the same: a slow, steady erosion
of liberties, step-by-step, so no one gets too excited or angry enough
to organize themselves into an effective opposition. They start with the
commercial bulk senders first knowing they are the least likely group to
rebel. They gradually work their way towards the ordinary citizen, claiming
that it's been policy for blah blah months with all the commercial postal
mailers, etc. You're suppose to accept the logic that since commercial
people have been subjected to this fascist control scheme for a few months,
then it's OK (or it's expected) for you to knuckle under too. That's the
nature of passive acquiescence to tyranny. It's easier and far less stressful
to just cave in and show your ID than to take a stand and fight them-and
that's what they're depending on. They always come out of the box saying
that you 'must' comply with their fascist dictums, but when enough citizens
refuse to comply-as was

- the recent case with the smallpox vaccine dictum-they
back down. And they will back down from this dictum if enough people refuse
to comply. The heart of these tyrannical control manuevers lay in the 'authority'
granted for Fatherland Security by The Traitor's Act passed in October
2001 by our Congressional Cowards. The head of the dragon is the Traitor's
Act-

- Sending an anonymous love letter or an angry note to
your congressman? The U.S. Postal Service will soon know who you are. Beginning
with bulk or commercial mail, the Postal Service will require "enhanced
sender identification" for all discount-rate mailings, according to
the notice published in the Oct. 21 Federal Register. The purpose of identifying
senders is to provide a more efficient tracking system, but more importantly,
to "facilitate investigations into the origin of suspicious mail."
The Postal Service began to look into updating mailing procedures after
the anthrax scares in October 2001 when an unknown person or persons sent
several U.S. senators and news organizations envelopes filled with the
deadly toxin. Two post office workers died from handling envelopes laced
with anthrax.
-
- "This is a first step to make the mail more secure,"
said Joel Walker, customer service support analyst for the mailing-standards
office. But what has privacy advocates concerned is a report by a presidential
commission that recommends the post office develop technology to identify
all individual senders, which is directly referenced in the Federal Register
notice. The proposed regulations are open for public comment through Nov.
20 to the Postal Service. "The President's Commission on the United
States Postal Service recently recommended the use of sender identification
for every piece of mail," the Federal Register stated. "Requiring
sender-identification for discount-rate mail is an initial step on the
road to intelligent mail."
-
- Also cited in the notice are two congressional committee
recommendations urging the Postal Service to explore the concept of sender
identification, including the "feasibility of using unique, traceable
identifiers applied by the creator of the mailpiece." "We're
not ready to go there yet, but we are trying to make an initial step to
make all mail, including discount mail, easily identified as to who the
sender is," Mr. Walker said. "Smart stamps" or personalized
stamps with an embedded digital code would identify the sender, destination
and class. In October 2001, a letter was sent to then-Senate Majority Leader
Tom Daschle, South Dakota Democrat, from a bogus New Jersey address. In
theory, smart stamps would allow authorities to better identify would-be
assailants. "
-
- The postal notice itself says this is the first step
to identify all senders, so this is not a matter of paranoia, this is reality.
"The post office is moving towards identification requirements for
everyone," said Chris Hoofnagle, associate director of the Electronic
Privacy Information Center. Mr. Hoofnagle scoffed at the notion identification
could prevent crimes such as the anthrax attacks on members of Congress
and news media two years ago. "Anyone resourceful enough to obtain
anthrax can get a stamp" without going through the new channels, Mr.
Hoofnagle said. A Treasury Department report from the Mailing Industry
Task Force also recommended that "the industry promote development
of the 'intelligent' mail piece by collaborating with the Postal Service
to implement standards and systems to make every mail piece "including
packages" unique and trackable." "What happens if I buy
stamps and you need one, is it legal for me to give it to you?"
-
- Mr. Hoofnagle said. Ari Schwartz, associate director
for the Center for Democracy and Technology, said intelligent mail can
play an important role and improve the mail system. However, privacy issues
must be seriously addressed, and moving forward with the rules on bulk
mail could alleviate some concerns, he said. "There is a right to
anonymity in the mail. If you look back in the history of this country,
the mail has played an important role in free expression and political
speech and anonymous mail has provided that," Mr. Schwartz said. Capitol
Hill staffers dismissed the potential for abuse by politicians who might
use the system to track anonymous critics. "A petty staff member,
maybe, but I doubt a member of Congress would do that," said one Senate
aide. Added a senior House staffer: "A politician getting even with
someone? Nah, it just saves us the trouble of having to reply to the letter."
