What has been occurring over the past several years is not a recovery, rather, it’s a painful transition of the U.S. into a neo-feudal society. Earlier this week in the post, Welcome to the Recovery – U.S. Child Homelessness Hits Record as Poverty in Mass. is Highest Since 1960, I wrote:
While the general population is aware something is seriously wrong, people remain extremely confused about the root of the problem. This is because what’s happening all around us isn’t socialism and it isn’t free market capitalism. It is actually a return to something much more ancient and much more oppressive. It is a return to serfdom, neo-fedualism and oligarchy.
Well now we have definitive proof. It can’t get any more in your face than this.
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch)—Faced with an increasing number of White House intrusions that led to the resignation of a Secret Service director, a congressman on Wednesday suggested that maybe a moat should be erected around the president’s home.
The suggestion was made by Rep. Steve Cohen, a Tennessee Democrat, at a House Judiciary Committee hearing.
With hand gestures, Cohen suggested a moat roughly six-feet wide may be “attractive” and “effective.”
Joseph Clancy, the acting director of the Secret Service, didn’t dismiss the suggestion out of hand.
“Sir, it may be,” he said. Clancy said the Secret Service and the National Park Service were discussing ways to ensure security along with access to the White House for the American people.
In case you aren’t familiar with Steve Cohen, I covered his fascist tendencies in the past. Recall the post: Rep. Steve Cohen Calls Tea Party Republicans “Domestic Enemies” on MSNBC.
Here’s the moat clip:
Enjoy your serfdom.

Any way we could build a moat around America, to keep the politicians out?
The whole world has taken a giant leap to the left – into state collectivism – left as in the goats go to the left, while the sheep remain to the right hand of the Lord. Obama has yet to really “assert” himself, and is now being branded a lame-duck President…yeah, right..don’t fall for it for a minute..he is your nation’s last leader and it is this lurch to the left which will descend America into darkness.
What this diabolical death cult is planning, indeed now executing, will plunge the whole world into darkness – it is nothing other than utterly despicable treachery and I am assured that those who perpetrate such crimes will find that the end of what they inflict will be to reap a whirlwind of consequences, and to find out what weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth is all about…and outer darkness too…
But during this darkness, Light will break forth, from the East unto the West, as in the coming of the New Day. There will be two streams of consciousness evolving virtually side by side as the world literally splits down the middle into the sheep and the goats. Those whose hearts are bound in hatred and unforgiveness will be broken – it will be the best of times and it will be the worst of times…
And when the goons take all the loot, there will be Civil unrest on a huge scale, but always remember to rise above the rabble and rest in the Lord – and remember, pigs cannot look up…they can only look down on others…
Six foot moat?
That’ll stave off those pesky domestic cat attacks.
Haha, yep he’s a moron. It is telling though that the first thing that came to his mind was a “moat.”
Rather than spending tax dollars building an Imperial Moat around Obama’s palace, we could send him someplace that is already surrounded by water: Saint Helena.

In a zoo they use moats to keep the animals in. Is that the right image for a president?
People are burdened with debt just to survive, not because of a fault of their own. Government does not serve the people, it serves the 1%. Anyone with debt problems should look up Thomas McFreeman’s website “The Art of Debt Guerrilla Warfare – how to beat debt collectors when your back is against the wall” for guidance and solutions.
He forgot to suggest crocodiles to patrol the moat.
The US will be slit up into sections where survival of the fittest will be the norm, enter Mad Max!
