American Stasi: Even the US Postal Service is monitoring the mail of some American citizens
PJ Media ^ | 09/26/2022 | Lincoln Brown

Do you get mail? Of course, you do. You have a mailbox for your house, apartment, or condo, or you have a post office box. Everybody gets mail. But does everybody get their mail monitored? Well, if you’re a Second Amendment supporter or you don’t like Joe Biden, you may have somebody watching your mailbox.

The Washington Times noted that Patrick Eddington of the Cato Institute obtained redacted documents showing that U.S. Postal Service inspectors monitored the mail of some American citizens. The impetus for the move? These people were gun rights activists and had issues with the election of Joe Biden. The office spied on gun activists who attended a gathering in Richmond, Va., what the Times calls “far-right” groups who went to D.C. after Biden’s election, and even those who gathered to protest the shooting of Breonna Taylor. This particular operation also included digital surveillance through the Internet Covert Operations Program. The documents Eddington obtained showed that the operation in question ran from September 2020 to April 2021. There were disclaimers on the reports that stated that the surveillance was not intended to infringe on anyone’s rights but to give law enforcement intel about potential violent or criminal activity. The post office inspector general said that the moves were outside the scope of law enforcement and may not have had legal approval. The inspectors disagreed. In the interim, the Postal Service has agreed to a full review and to make sure that future surveillance is properly authorized.

We need postal inspectors. Back in the wild west days of the internet, I covered cases in which postal inspectors played key roles in intercepting child pornography and working with local law enforcement to lock up offenders.

Local carrier was doing that. And stealing birthday cards.

She was fired.

The USPS takes a video scan of every single piece of mail they handle and this gets uploaded to the NSA every single day.

This is not news.

I know about the scanning, but I haven’t seen this claim before.

I don’t doubt it much, but can you point to evidence?

Thanks.

One of my husband’s friends sends this upload every day. I have no reason to doubt him.

Almost all of US Government has been weaponized ... not by Biden who isn’t capable of all this but his handlers who want to kill this Republic in favor of a global government.
I believe sooner or later they will unmask and complete their power grab ... maybe right after the 2022 election if it really is a red wave.

”In your face” is our communist masters' favorite tool to rattle the chains of tyranny that they have wrapped around our necks...

No Big Deal!
Our communist masters know that the pathetically servile and indolent Aamerican people will just continue to roll over and spread their collective cheeks...
