WHAT�S WRONG WITH THE POSTAL SERVICE? * - 1 of 2
�We labour first of all to draw into our Association all good and
learned writers. This we imagine will be the easier obtained, as they
must derive an evident advantage from it. Next to such men we seek to
gain the masters and secretaries of the Post-Offices, in order to
facilitate our correspondence.�
>From the papers of the German Union, which, with the Grand Orient Lodge
in Paris, comprised THE ILLUMINATI, a secret society founded by Adam
Weishaupt, in Bavaria, on 1 May 1776, and financed, in part by an
international banking cartel. Quotation published in the book, �Proofs
of a Conspiracy�, by John Robison, p. 169, (1798).
________________________________
In a series of carefully orchestrated moves the spiritual heirs of Adam
Weishaupt, author of the grand design for world government, have
succeeded in gaining control over the U.S. Postal Service to
�facilitate� their correspondence and, ultimately choke off dissenting
voices.
The unfolding plan began in Paris in 1947, when the United Nations
established a world mail scheme called, �The Universal Postal System�.
At this juncture, the U.S. Postal System was still under the supervision
of Congress. On 4 April 1967, however, the first serious assault, which
was to transfer control of U.S. mails to a private corporation, was made
against the American people. On this date The Wall Street Journal ran a
propaganda feature, �Converting Post Office to Nonprofit Firm Run by
Government Is Proposed by O�Brian�.
Mr. Lawrence O�Brian, then Postmaster General, said that turning the
Post Office into a corporation �is the only way to achieve the
superlative service President Johnson has mandated, postal service
worthy of the American Standard�.
O�Brian was not merely the Postmaster General. He was an influential
Wall Street executive with offices at 120 Broadway, New York City. Close
contact with international banking interests made O�Brian the perfect
tool for effecting transfer of authority over U.S. mails into private
hands. Next to command of money and military (achieved by the Federal
Reserve Act of 1913 and the United Nations Treaty of 1945) the mails was
third in Association priority to achieving mastery over the American
society.
CITIZENS� COMMITTEE FOR POSTAL REFORM
Five days following O�Brian�s improbable declaration, President Lyndon
Johnson appointed a �blue ribbon� panel to �examine the structure of the
postal system�. The New York Times, in an article dated 9 April 1967,
�Johnson Asks Mail Study; Names Survey Panel of 10� revealed the men on
the panel. It then became apparent that only one result could be
expected - a postal system under the control of multi-national
financiers and industrialists!
THE PRESIDENT'S PANEL ON U.S. POSTAL SYSTEM SURVEY
FREDERICK R. KAPPEL, Member, Council on Foreign Relations, Chairman.
Former board member, American Telephone & Telegraph Company.
GEORGE BAKER, Member, Council of Foreign Relations, Dean of Harvard
Graduate School of Business Administration.
DAVID BELL, Member, Council on Foreign Relations; President, Ford
Foundation.
FRED BORCH, President, General Electric Company.
DAVID GINSBURG, Attorney, Washington, D.C.
RALPH LAZARUS, Grand Operator, international finance. Featured in
announcements of the Business Advisory Council, a CFR affiliate. BAC was
established by Sidney Weinberg of Goldman Sach�s & Co., one of eight
interlocking financial groups which control U.S. economy.
GEORGE MEANEY, President, American Federation of Labor & Congress of
Industrial Organization.
WILLIAM BEVERLY MURPHY, Member, Business Advisory Council, inner circle
of the Council on Foreign Relations; President, Campbell Soup Company.
J. IRWIN MILLER, Member, Council on Foreign Relations; Board member,
Cummins Engine Company.
RUDOLPH A. PETERSON, Associate of Fred Lazarus in Committee for Economic
Development; President, Bank of America.
Upon announcement of the �Citizens� Committee for Postal Reform,�
O�Brian proposed the establishment of �� a Government corporation to
handle the mails,� and called for a non-profit organization operated by
a board of directors appointed by the President and confirmed by the
Congress. This window dressing lulled the people into a belief that
Washington would act in their best interest.
INDEPENDENT POST OFFICE
A year and a half went by. Then, on 16 July 1968, the �President�s
Panel,� announced their proposal for an �Independent Post Office� (New
York Post, 16 July 1968).
�A commission named by President Johnson urged today the creation of a
special corporation to operate the nations� postal service,� said the
Post, �and the elimination of all political jobs in the mail service�.
The Kappel Commission also recommended that the postal corporation
itself establish mail rates - subject only to veto by Congress.
In a statement issued with the 212-page commission report, President
Johnson, while not specifically endorsing the group�s finding for
revolutionary changes in the Post Office Department, did say, �The
report� renders a sobering judgement on what is required to provide for
excellent postal service in the years ahead�.
Kappel declared, �The benefits which would flow from the introduction of
modern management practices (in a corporate form of postal service)
include not only greatly improved mail service but early elimination of
the postal deficit and far better carrier opportunities and working
conditions for the individual postal employee�. (New York Post, 16 July
1968).
None of these alleged �benefits� have materialized.
Failing in their effort to prove the Postal Service incompetent, charges
which would justify in the public mind their �revolutionary� changes,
the commission confined themselves to specious claims. The real but
concealed Commission objective: Additional special privilege and special
rates for the �in� crowd of foundations, politicians, and multi-national
corporations, and to establish yet another method for milking the
taxpayer.
CONTROL BY LICENSE
Those not having privileged status would soon find that, under the
postal corporation, permits and licenses are to be ordered. This will
block from the mails all �undesirable� (i.e; patriotic, nationalistic,
Christian) individuals and organizations. Provision for seizure of mail
is in the new postal bill.
�Control by License� has proven very effective in the area of gun
legislation, for example. In New York City, the Sullivan Law does not
prohibit the possession of a pistol - it merely requires a license to
own one. Of course, only the privileged can get a license!
The same control mechanism is existent in the new postal corporation,
giving the board of directors powers which can result in preferential
issuance of licenses and permits to protected individuals and
organizations. The conclusion is obvious from the affiliations of the
men placed on the panel.
Preferential rates, and higher domestic postage for the average citizen,
are the order of the day. The board of directors of the postal
corporation have the power to initiate rate changes, while keeping the
public mollified by constant press releases and propaganda about
�improved service�.
Less than a year following publication of the Kappel report, President
Richard M. Nixon announced his proposal for a postal corporation (New
York Times, 28 May 1969).
ENTER AUGUST BELMONT
On 20 October 1969, August Belmont, 4th, of Dillon, Read & Company, one
of the oldest behind-the-scenes operatives in American affairs, and
representative of Rothschild banking interests, testified before
Congress on behalf of the postal corporation.
�The Postal Corporation bonds,� he said, �will sell if stamp revenues
are pledged to back them.�
The postal bill authorized the corporation to sell up to ten-billion
dollars worth of bonds to finance capital improvements. Belmont (real
name Schoenberg) said that without such guarantees through pledge of
stamp revenues, buyers in the bond market (e.g.; international bankers)
would have to have some other assurance that the postal corporation
would pay off the bonds.
�Our opinion that the bonds of the proposed postal corporation would be
salable to the public at reasonable rates is based on� the pledge of
revenues and the creation of preferential liens on receipts,� Belmont
said. (New York Times, 21 October, 1969).
By demanding pledge of revenues and preferential liens on receipts of
the postal corporation Belmont, spokesman for the bankers, assured his
principals that the postal corporation would be a creature mortgaged to,
owned by, and the property of, international money manipulators.
TRANSFER OF POLITICAL POWER
The Washington Post, on 15 June, 1969, charged: �Most reforms that set
out to make things nonpolitical are actually engaged in transferring the
political power from elected politicians to the nonelective, silent and
secret politicians with much smaller constituencies, often referred to
as lobbyists, bagmen, etc. In that light, let�s see who put up the money
to lobby and propagandize this (postal) reform through the Congress. Who
was it,� asked the Post, �that backed the citizens� Committee for Postal
Reform?�
�The Congressional Record for October 9, 1969 (pages HR 6328-9) tells us
that the names of some of these citizens who contributed $5,000 apiece
were: The Bank of America, Scott Paper Company, Standard Oil of New
Jersey, Time, Inc., The Minneapolis Star and Tribune, Pan American World
Airways, Montgomery Ward, J.C. Penney Co., Boys Town of the Desert, I.E.
duPont de Meours & Co., Kimberly-Clark Corp., Sears Roebuck & Company,
General Electric, American Express, Goodyear Tire & Rubber, Ford, and
the Bechtel Corp."
"Weighing in for contributions of less than $5,000,� the Post declared,
�were among others, the following citizens: Litton Publications, Inc.,
the Conde Nast Publications, Cowles Communications, Inc., Newsweek, B.F.
Goodrich, and the Hon. C. Douglas Dillon, (real name Lapowski) of Dillon
Read & Company, New York."
�There are other putative beneficiaries of reform,� the Post continued,
�one of them is Mr. George Meany and his AFL-CIO. The deal Mr. Meany and
his agent worked with the administration is that in return for his
embracing (postal) reform, only seven AFL-CIO unions would be recognized
as bargaining agents for the Post Office employees. A reactionary,
Republican administration not only traded away its cherished
right-to-work principle, but the right of the employees to choose their
collective-bargaining representatives through elections conducted by the
National Labor Relations Board."
�This,� the Post concluded, �in labor-union parlance, comes close to
being a yellow-dog contract. Mr. Meany, however, says it�s historic, and
he�s certainly right.�
