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.
I worked in Arabia and you had no rights,they take your passport and you can’t leave the country without it,And you sure as hell cant buy land.Not that you would want to.
They have been allowed to steal every business and land possible under Obama and it must be reversed.

Why would Americans sell land to any foreigner.
Take it away from them
Stop this and take the land back.
The Saudis nationalized all the oil fields back (I think) in the 20’s. We could do the same.
Shut them off!
Its really sad that we are selling America.
Muslims should not be allowed to purchase anything in America. They are terrorists. No such thing as a moderate muslim.
This was true in colo in 1978 i was there. They buy under american names.
