In the 1980’s hysteria over Japanese investment and automobile imports was at an all-time high. Vitriol from laid off union auto workers was directed at the imported automobiles and the financial papers painted a picture of a Japanese buyout of America.
There was land speculation, commercial building acquisitions, farms purchased and even on Saturday morning cartoons… there were shows like Speed Racer and host of hyper-flashy “japanimation” programs.
The United States was bracing for a hostile takeover… and then nothing much happened. Japan lurched into their “lost decade” in the 1990’s and a monster depression wiped out much of their net worth.
America was saved, until now.
Now, the Saudi Arabians savvy land speculators have mastered a scheme so lucrative they can barely disguise their glee.
Union workers are worried, farmers feel cheated and the press is declaring that Saudi Arabia is buying up the American south-west
Please see the next page for Saudi Arabia’s reach into the continental United States.
Amen!
They said the same thing about Arabs grabbing up farmland in Michigan in the 60’s and 70’s. I believe that if you will check, you will find that no farmland is missing there today, having been moved to Saudi Arabia.
They got Kuala Lumpur too!
Rewrite that headline as Americans selling Saudis valuable stuff. Defiantly sound less threatening and less racist
the only way to stop this is to start killing these people or we dont survive
What is wrong with Congress that they don’t pass that only American citizens can own America’s land like most of he world already has going? Do you think you could buy land in Iran, Arabia or most other Arab countries?
Obambi selling us out…literally! TRAITOR!
Because our own government is killing our farming industry to by our product over seas! I thought it was against the law for foreign entities to purchase lands in America
They own America lock stock and barrel bought by a bailout and their man Barack Obama running the show/liquidation so to speak.
Steven Carista They live off federal funds, think giant welfare land, inner city poverty spread out over big pieces of land. Many, many people live on the reservation with no running water, electric, trash services or anything that resembles modern life. Broke down cars, substance abuse, gang violence and domestic abuse are all a reality.
