Saudi's Threaten USA Over 9/11 Info Being Released

[tay]

I'm going to guess that this info doesn't say that Saddam had anything to do with 9/11........


Saudi Arabia has told the Obama administration and members of Congress that it will sell off hundreds of billions of dollars’ worth of American assets held by the kingdom if Congress passes a bill that would allow the Saudi government to be held responsible in American courts for any role in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

The Obama administration has lobbied Congress to block the bill’s passage, according to administration officials and congressional aides from both parties, and the Saudi threats have been the subject of intense discussions in recent weeks between lawmakers and officials from the State Department and the Pentagon. The officials have warned senators of diplomatic and economic fallout from the legislation.

Adel al-Jubeir, the Saudi foreign minister, delivered the kingdom’s message personally last month during a trip to Washington, telling lawmakers that Saudi Arabia would be forced to sell up to $750 billion in treasury securities and other assets in the United States before they could be in danger of being frozen by American courts.

The administration, which argues that the legislation would put Americans at legal risk overseas, has been lobbying so intently against the bill that some lawmakers and families of Sept. 11 victims are infuriated. In their view, the Obama administration has consistently sided with the kingdom and has thwarted their efforts to learn what they believe to be the truth about the role some Saudi officials played in the terrorist plot.

“It’s stunning to think that our government would back the Saudis over its own citizens,” said Mindy Kleinberg, whose husband died in the World Trade Center on Sept. 11 and who is part of a group of victims’ family members pushing for the legislation.

Let's imagine that selling treasury to other country's is not unlike them actually owning us and having a huge financial leverage in controlling what we do.

Almost one Trillon worth of treasuries held by a enemy state who wishes to harm you. Imagine that.

Imagine the drop in value the American currency would take?

Flood the treasury market with one trillion dollars worth of American treasury bonds. Let's find out.

If Saudi is balking at following through on a deal with Lebanon for some $3b in military aid we could always send the 'trucks' to them instead. We should be turning ourselves in to the ICC and rat Saudi out for war crimes against their own people and then Yemen can add to the charges. That will keep 1/5 Arab warring nations busy and they will be the next ones to face a war crimes court and that is just for domestic issues, the Arab spring campaign would bring the most charges when it is all said and done.

You mean 'another trillion' don't you?

What we need is to stop buying their oil

Even if they are giving it.

Harper was right about that.

Most countries hold lots of value in bonds and currency of other foreign nations, it's not just the USD that is held outside America

Do the opposite... If they are willing to give it away, buy it up on the cheap and hold your own reserves for later when the freebies are done and the price rises.

Somehow I don't think Easterners freezing to death is going to sway Saudi much if this is a blackmail/extortion attempt.
We could switch to Iranian/ South American oil if they have any surplus until we install the needed lines. Do that right and we maybe able to sell the blueprints for construction guidelines include 3D printing for the inner core and a mesh steel outer covering that would expand a lot before bursting and it would be more flexible than the lines in place. If the Mid-east is about to be networked with oil lines and hydro lines and roads then our experiences would be valuable to them in the 'safety' aspect and reliability, etc. (rather than go back to 1960 guidelines because they don't know any better and it is $2/km cheaper)
Do a tight wrap of hemp, raw fabric or resin reinforced so it is blast resistant and moisture proof and now you have some material that might also have a market that is not just local.

Canada should publish the projected gold recovery in all the kms of tailing piles from the dredges as a recoverable resource that is almost as valuable as refined gold with minimal recovery effort required. The Gov has the titles as the companies that did have the claims failed to do the proper restoration so they get a share based on material moved rather than riches recovered. That being said the value of the land when reclamation is complete is taken into consideration as some areas could be turned into a tourist attraction geared towards wilderness camping based on the visitors experience as the wildlife is bigger than the visitor.

If this goes though think of all the lawsuits America would get from the world for their failed attempts to be the world police.

 

[damngrumpy]

The time has come to put the Saudi's in their place here is a case where we
should help democracy groups and topple the government there period

 

[Sparrow]

There is only one reason the Saudis are reacting so severely, because they have something kept hidden.

The Saudis are not our friends. No doubt, everyone will know that soon enough, anyway.

Considering they won't be getting any of it I'd be a bit miffed myself.

Freeze their bank accounts. What's that, the bomb makers are already doing that, oh I see, who gets the rest of their oil then?? Africa. Like where the buffalo roam Africa? Where will the homeless Americans come from??? So many questions.

The Islands gifted to them by Egypt will end up being NG, and the like, terminals for tanker products. No use blowing up the mainland and an island is easier to make secure. The NG will serve norther Africa and make it's way south from Ethiopia as lines are built. That will be the Saudi market. The EU will be Iran/Iraq/Syria and Russian NG will go to India and China.

North and South America will have to do the same if they want to keep up with the advancements that comes with having a smarter general population. The first thing they all agree on is 'war is a waste of time and money and should be the last resort rather than the first one'. That movement is crushed rather than being accepted as 'good advice'. At some point it will prevail as it seems to keep making a comeback in some form.

Of course the Bushy gang doesn't want any of this revealed. Remember when only Bin Laden family members were allowed to leave the USA when all other flights were banned?

I'm sure the 28 pages will have lots to say if we ever see them.....


Congressman Thomas Massie described the 28 pages as “shocking” and said, “I had to stop every couple pages and…try to rearrange my understanding of history. It challenges you to rethink everything.”
