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.
Humming, bad news too much Alfalfa is GM and USA desperately needs Organic Alfalfa for safe feed for milk and butter to avoid GM crops. Bad situation.
Never, ever sell the land. Stop urban sprawl, corporate farms, and chemical poisoning of the farm land. Protect the family farm at all costs.
Dumb American government in allowing it.
Tell them sorry for buying but you don’t own it, like AMERICANS if you die they tax and get it back
Don’t let the ENEMY breech our borders.
Saudi’s can lose that .. If they are found to be supporting any terrorist groups even if said land is not involved financially.. Then that farmland will be released for sale to the American Farmers to grow wheat, alfalfa, corn, etc that the land can support.. In this pic I can see a lot of wasted land area by the acres..
Noooo! why do we let this happen! They’d never sell their land to anyone else!! WTF!
Very true. In wisconsin, if a farmer can’t get a loan from USA banks they go to China to get the loan, if they are default , China gets their plans. . Hmmm
American land should NEVER be allowed to be sold to foreigners.
Thus$#%&!@*needs to stop and stop now.
