Since 9/11. The post offices don't even know, at least the little local ones. I told this to my post lady and she looked at me like I was nuts. I said why do you think it all has to go to Milwaukee first now and then come back, even if you're sending it a block away? Then it dawned on her that I was right.

I remember when you could send a letter to a friend cross country with sealing wax and an imprinted emblem of your choice, generally an initial, on the back and it would arrive unscathed.

Americans said that they hated freedom 100 years ago because the environment was dirty, there were murders, and medicine was dangerous, but the US is now a police state and the environment is still dirty, there are still murders, and medicine is still dangerous.

Wrong. They all know because normal people can also sign up to see the images of their mail on a daily basis. The service is called "Informed Delivery" and is very convenient.

Libertarians think that they should give up defending freedom because Americans hate liberty, but Libertarians should keep resisting tyranny for selfish reasons.

While the elites control the money, government, and media, the 99% have the numbers.

One Libertarian may not be able to resist being sent to the concentration camps, but one million people might.

What use is an image of a package? It's something in an envelope or box. Why is a picture of an envelope or box interesting to them?

I agree that it's highly suspicious that all the mail routes to one central location that can be miles away from you, even if you mail something across the street, which is just crazy to me.

Tyranny leads to unintended consequences.

Checkpoints were started to stop drunk-drivers, but then DWI checkpoints lead to safety checkpoints, seatbelt checkpoints, driver license checkpoints, virus checkpoints, and checkpoints for any reason at all.

Nanny state laws against smoking lead to plastic bag bans and straw bans.

Tyranny leads to economic collapse because taxes rise to pay for prisons and no one wants to start a business when everything is illegal.

The police state leads to poor morals because churches are closed.

Tyranny and poor morals lead to corruption and more crime.

Americans think living in a socialist police state is normal, but freedom is not some textbook theory.

There are still some Americans alive today who will tell you that freedom is better.

You still can. They use essentially a MRI machine to read the print without doing damage to the envelope. Every letter. Every word. Ours goes 8 miles out to Tampa, through three post offices and back just to mail it a mile down the road.

Everything is illegal, you have no rights, you are under surveillance 24/7, and no one cares.

Living in a police state is just hopeless and you must constantly dread having your door kicked in by the Gestapo.

There was a time when you didn't need a driver license to drive. Later you needed a driver license and the police needed probable cause to stop you. You then needed to give your fingerprints to drive. Now no one can go outside because everyone is under house arrest.

The elites have covered all the bases and closed all the doors.

The globalists kill or blackmail constitution friendly judges. The ruling class uses FISA courts. The government just does whatever it wants- law or no law, constitution or not.

The 1% gives campaign donations and cushy job promises to politicians, hacks election machines, and forges ballots to install their candidates.

The elites control the media, Hollywood, Wall Street, and the government.

 Quoting: Florid Aman 77632979


It's just a scanner. It uses a Very bright light and it copies the entire front of the envelop and reads the writing. If the mail piece matches a file for a changed address, it prints the new address on the evelope.

it forms Metadata and analysts from various agencies enterpret what it means. ie. certain conclusions can be drawn about a person that gets various mail pieces. Sometimes more can be understood just because the mail went somewhere, without opening and reading the mail. ie. Who sent it, and who else did that person send mail to. Smart people analyse it.
I don't have the time or the crayons to explain this to you.

They've been photographing mail for at least 6 years now. I signed up to get an email with photos of the mail expected that day when I lived at a pervious residence. I liked that. If it was just junk, I wouldn't go get the mail that day. A couple weeks could go by before a legitimate piece of mail would arrive.
