Lane von Herzen: The U.S. Postal Service in Support of American Sovereignty

My Third Novel's Conclusion, My Heartbreak

My heart begins to break when I think about completing this particular book -- because this narrative has sustained me like no other story I've known. It's both more personal and more universal than my other works. But beyond memory and archetype, it's a cri-de-coeur about needing to become the person one is destined to be. And in the writing, I have met my own life's work, my own fated journey -- having the sense all the while that the pages are suffused with a resonance, an energy, an electrified field that defies explanation. Writers hope and pray to be overtaken by a work in this way -- to be conscripted into passionate service of a profound story. To experience it even once in a lifetime seems a great privilege. I still have several months before this novel is complete, and this constitutes my reprieve. Because I'm not ready for the beauty to end.

The U.S. Postal Service in Support of American Sovereignty

An addendum has been inserted in bold-face type below.

*****************************************************************************

OIG Hotline, it appears that I continue to be deprived of legal assistance as of this writing, so I cannot rely on legal guidance in addressing the U.S. Postal Service.

A robust and reliable mail service is critical for the sustenance of our democratic norms, including the maintenance of mail-in voting in both Democratic and Republican states. We cannot expect that mail-in voting will be preserved if the U.S. mail service is allowed to decline and fail as a public entity.

Therefore, I respectfully request that your Office allocate 109 billion dollars to clear the current debt of the USPS.

In addition, I ask that the OIG Hotline allocate a 300 billion dollar endowment, of which not more than five percent of total value is to be drawn in any given year for the purpose of ensuring that the U.S. Post Office does not incur any further indebtedness. The endowment should be invested in such a manner as to ensure retained underlying value over time, anticipating inflation, and should earn at least five percent interest income per year. The Post Office should have expert assistance in the management of this endowment.

The Post Office appears to have significant unfunded liabilities related to longstanding pension promises to its employees, and if those liabilities should exceed available funds on the basis of annual endowment interest (not to exceed five percent of total value of the endowment) and operating income, I would ask that the USPS receive assistance in addressing solvency concerns with its retirees.

The fiscal management of the U.S. Postal Service should be carefully guarded, as its failure to maintain reliable and honorable mail service, without interference or obstruction, is critical for our nation's sovereign future. A trustworthy mail service is essentially a natural extension of free speech, the right to vote, freedom of assembly, and many other liberties our Constitution clearly delineates as protected activities within the United States.

I must state that the FBI and its affiliates should be expressly excluded from co-opting the U.S. Postal Service for the purpose of knowingly falsified law enforcement reporting. Fake communications, false donations, forged letters as "evidence" of supposed wrongdoing by the honorable American public must be halted quite decisively.

The U.S. Postal Service should not constitute yet another way for the FBI to lie about the worthy American people.

Rather, we should ensure that the U.S. Postal Service separate itself from the FBI and its affiliates to the greatest extent possible. Mail carriers and USPS personnel at all levels should be bound by promises to uphold the Constitution, and together with that vow, they should be expressly prohibited from lying about those members of the public they serve.

This endowment is contingent upon the discontinuation of any financial connection between the USPS on the one hand and the FBI and its affiliates on the other. Individual postal workers should under no circumstances receive bribes or payoffs for false reporting for the FBI or any other law enforcement agency.

The U.S. Postal Service is intended to serve the American public, not participate in harmful conduct toward mail customers in any capacity whatsoever.

Further, it should be a federal crime for anyone to utilize the U.S. Postal Service in any capacity for the purpose of knowingly falsified law enforcement reporting.

The FBI and its affiliates should never be enabled to cause harm to the American public through co-opting U.S. mail service, and the agency's obstruction of the normal receipt and sending of honorable mail should never be permitted.

I hope the United States Congress and the Supreme Court will render this clear to all.

This allocation is predicated on these requirements, and I will appreciate their strict observance, as will the American people as a whole.

Thank you for allowing me to specify this allocation on behalf of the sovereignty of the American people, and on behalf of our national independence which derives from our individual freedoms.

I hope this gift will make a substantive difference to our shared future.

Most sincerely,
