The best proof that there is a parallel government is the post office. There is a difference between the Post Office and the United States Postal Service (USPS). The USPS is a private corporation, which is why ZIP codes are a copyrighted trademark. Go to any USPS webpage that mentions the term "ZIP code" and you will see a "tm" symbol beside it. Yet more evidence that the USPS is a private corporation can be found in their website address, which is usps.com NOT .gov.

The USPS' status as a private corporation is why they are able to force you to pay a higher rate for post than is allowed by the US constitution, which is set at a fixed rate of $0.02 per half-ounce.

The question then becomes, does the original post office still exist or was it completely usurped and eliminated when the USPS was formed and the department of the Post Office was abolished? If you talk to any lawyer, they will tell you that the USPS replaced the original post office and that the original office no longer exists.

...But that is provably untrue, and you can prove it by sending yourself a letter without using a copyrighted ZIP code, at the fixed postage rate of $0.02 per half ounce. Read this Microsoft Word document for a walk-through on how to do this.

Zip codes are a copyright trademark of the UNITED STATES POSTAL SYSTEM, and in being such, there is a "royalty fee," that is charged for the usage thereof. This is why the rate for a first class mail stamp for the US POSTAL SERVICE is, I believe now 44-cents (I haven't used one in quite some time). The charge over and above the rate of Post is a, "royalty fee," for the usage of THEIR zip codes. The rate for first class Post is still and has always been .02-cents per one half ounce (.5 or 1/2). Again, this rate has never changed! There is no royalty fee when sending via the Post Office. Moreover, your Post is considered International and this is very significant!

Furthermore, the royalty fee also applies to the usage of the two-letter symbol that they use in place of spelling out the name of a State/Republic. This is a RE-presentation of the states united into TERRITORIES of the UNITED STATES. This is no different from when living beings are RE-presented by an Attorney.

Now, below are the procedures that I use when sending Post via the Post Office. Always, always, always, use the Drop Box , and never put Post into anything that is labeled, "UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE." You know the UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE MAILBOX very well. It is any MAILBOX that blue in color. However, the "Post Office Drop Box" is always inside the Post Office, and it is always in the wall. Some Post Office's still have it labeled, "DROP BOX," right above it. A great many do not, for they have removed it since nobody was using it anymore. However, this does not mean that the Drop Box has been removed. Remember, the "Post Office Drop Box" is not a U.S. POSTAL SERVICE MAILBOX, or any blue box in the lobby of the Post Office marked with the UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE logo on it. Look for the Mail Slot that is in the wall. The color is usually a very bland gold color, or beige. If you are not sure, ask the Post Master. Most POSTAL SERVICE employees are not aware of this. Although you may find one or two that are aware of it; I have!

Nevertheless, if you put your Post into a UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE MAILBOX, it will not be treated as if you were putting it into the "Post Office Drop Box." It will be returned to you with a postage due message. That is it; No harm, no damage, no foul; Just a postage due request. So make sure to use the "Post Office Drop Box" when sending Post only and do not drop your post into any of the UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE MAILBOX'S (always blue) which are for sending MAIL through the POSTAL SERVICE only.

Caveat: Some of the US POSTAL SERVICE locations have downsized and as a result, you may not find a "Post Office Drop Box," at that location. In this case, all you need to do is go to a bigger branch office nearby.

Now, for the return address which is more accurately called, "Return Mail Location," and the addressee, again accurately referred to as, "Mail Location." However, for the sake of this explanation, and to limit confusion, I will use "address" and "addressee"... Below both the return address and the addressee's address, at the very bottom of the address and addressee, I reference their Domestic Mail Manuel's zip code exempt clause, in place of where the zip code would go for the POSTAL SERVICE, as follows: [zip code exempt DMM 602 1.3 e. (2)]
