Moderators Gregory Matthews Posted October 28, 2014 Moderators Share Posted October 28, 2014 Ron Nixon of the New York Times reports that the U. S. Postal Service has a program called Mail Imaging. In this program, the external surface of every piece of mail, sent in the U.S., is copied by computers and that those copies may be used in law enforcement.

Members rudywoofs (Pam) Posted October 28, 2014 Members Share Posted October 28, 2014 good enough! I'll refer Comcast to the US Department of Justice when I get the next harassment call wrongfully claiming I didn't send back their cable equipment...

LifeHiscost Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I have a satellite system of which I shut down in the evening upon retiring. Often when I arise the next day it has been turned on to a channel that has no programing other than a window identifying the system. Tell me if that's a conspiracy similar to the smart meters being used to keep track of your propane use. In this day and age safety lies in Who you trust, not in circumstances or innovative technology. God is Love! Jesus saves! Quote Lift Jesus up!!

I am assuming you are referring to satellite dish programming into your T.V. right? Was your system on 'standby' the whole night even though you thought you shut it off? When going into system settings in the set-up something can be changed so it remains a blank picture until you activate the signals from the Satellite node.

joeb Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 And you, Gregory, are for big government. You also seem to have a great disdain for conservatives who say government should be limited in power and scope. You're just getting what you ask and vote for.

Administrators Tom Wetmore Posted October 29, 2014 Administrators Share Posted October 29, 2014 You know, that is really a pervasive political fallacy that Conservative don't want " big government and only so-called liberals do. History has demonstrated rather clearly that whoever is not in power and control seems to forget that very mantra that got them in and proceed to fashion a government to their liking serving their interests as big as they need it to be. Actual government growth in terms of spending increases just as much or more under conservatives as it does under liberals. The only real difference is what the respective political powers want to spends it on. phkrause 1 Quote "Absurdity reigns and confusion makes it look good."

LifeHiscost Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Now, how does that work? I am assuming you are referring to satellite dish programming into your T.V. right? Was your system on 'standby' the whole night even though you thought you shut it off? When going into system settings in the set-up something can be changed so it remains a blank picture until you activate the signals from the Satellite node. 1st question. Yes that's right. 2nd question. Since I find it necessary to shut the TV off manually at the receiver of the TV as a result of a defective off TV button on the remote, and also follow that procedure most evenings, more often using the remote for the satellite receiver but sometimes the manual on/off button on the satellite receiver which has a light right on the button that indicates off/on, I've eliminated the possibility of inadvertent standby as a normal oversight. Also when I turn it on the next day, it has changed from an active program of the night before at shut off time, to a static motionless design channel. It is my understanding that any electronic communicable piece of equipment, with present means of compressing information into an unimaginable small space, knowing man's propensity towards believing control of others is a means to solve our problems, that equipment may be developed with good in mind but someone will eventually, nowadays sooner than later, find out how to use it for evil, if for nothing else than personal gain although in this present age, just to satisfy the lust of the flesh. How else can you explain a serial killer, or even the dropping of a bomb for supposed good reasons, that will extinguish the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, irregardless of the innocence or guilt of the majority who perish. But then I digress. It's almost time for the Lord to come. God is love! Jesus saves! bkopplin 1 Quote Lift Jesus up!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly Quote phkrause By the decree enforcing the institution of the papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness. When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near. {5T 451.1} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Gregory Matthews Posted October 30, 2014 Author Moderators Share Posted October 30, 2014 Joeb: Here are my thoughts on government: 1) The people should decided on the services that they want government to provide. 2) The people should decide on the level of government that provides those services--lopcal State, Federal. 3) Once those services are decided, they should be fully funded. 4) The people should decide how those services are funded--taxes, fees, other means.

In this program, the external surface of every piece of mail, sent in the U.S., is copied by computers and that those copies may be used in law enforcement." When sending a written/typed letter we fold it into three sections so it fits the envelope. The words are then all jumbled up. I don't believe they can have a computer program to read letters sent. What is the "external surface" referred to here actually mean? Packages can and do get scanned for its content. I'll accept that. But... ...what with the cut-down in all businesses, commercial endeavors, and well know shops of their employees, where is the money coming from to pay for more employees over at the Postal level?

aka Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 LHC, There is a solution for your T.V. problem Take your tv to the Salvation Army. They'll exorcise it from bad spirits. Leave it with them and go to your electronic shop. Buy a good flat-screen modern digital receiver tv. Sit back and enjoy!
