Re: Breaking the Bonds of Commerce & State

Thomas,You can't accept some deliveries and refuse others that are “addressed” the same way, whether you mark them with "Not Deliverable As Addressed”, “No Such Person At This Address”, or any other stamp. That would create a double standard and put you in the position of being a liar. Whether the State, courts, or other unwanted commercial entities actually send postal matter the box is irrelevant. You'd still be breaking the Spirit of the Law.
Would it be lying if you receive post at a postal location if you received a letter addressed to an all caps NAME? If i use the name John Henry, and that is what everyone else calls me, am I lying when I return a letter addressed to John Henry Doe, Doe being the family name, because that is not my name? BTW, I don't know about the rest of you, but I sign nothing without a restricted signature. I also do not claim any name as being mine. That's another teaching that I will save for another thread.
Under the so-called PTB own "law" it is a felony to wilfully misdirect or intentionally deliver "mail" to the wrong "person" or to the wrong "address".
Hope this helps.18 U.S.C. Section 1341—Elements of Mail Fraud
