Let them sell. Justice is more important. No accident that 80% of the 9/11 terrorists were Saudi.
What will happen? Absolutely nothing.
Just received this comment from a friend:
If Trump wins the election it’ll be the first time in history that a billionaire moved into public housing vacated by a black family!
Sorry.. my eyes slid off the screen when I searched it.
Or Congress could pass a bill confiscating the US assets held by the Saudi government and use that to pay the 9//1 victims. Similar to tobacco and asbestos settlements in which companies assets were confiscated (”set aside in a fund”) to pay the “victims”
Or we could simply confiscate their sovereign gold stored in the vault of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
Seize their assets now and make it illegal to do business with anyone connected to the terrorist Saudi regime. Arrest all Saudi nationals currently in the US.
May as well get it over with.
The murderous family doth protest too much.
So they will resort to extortion to prevent lawsuits.
Makes perfect sense.
Bye.
They won’t sell , they are too busy buying up our farmland ...this is why Trump has to be elected , he is the only one who can and will stop this ...
There’s no downside to repatriating assets.
Good. Let’s get that cash flowing, you scumbags.
You’re lucky you didn’t get bombed into oblivion; should have sent in the AF for a little payback.
When the James Bond movie Goldfinger was made, it was Ian Fleming's way of trying to tell us all what had already happened... by 1964.
It's why Nixon closed the gold window in 1971 when the French wanted their gold back. We didn't have it. It was already stolen by that time.
It's why when Germany asked for a portion of their gold back recently, they were told it would take SEVEN YEARS to deliver a mere 10% of their holdings here. And it's why the delivery isn't even on schedule.
It's why we invaded Libya - the real reason. Qadafi was about to launch a gold-backed dinar. Hillary's emails reveal that this was the true motive for the invasion.
And now it's why, if the Chinese pull off a gold-backed yuan, it's Game Over Insert Gold Coin for US dollar hegemony. It will dispel what remains of the illusion of prosperity, and it will be laid bare that the US is a nation stripped of assets, one that doesn't produce wealth anymore.
Welcome to third-world America. Get ready for the riots as the entitlement class will have no nonviolent way to deal with what is coming.
The Saudis may need the cash, with the oil glut and selling at less than $40 a barrel.
I say let them follow thru on their threat and then we withdraw all military aid and technology to the Saudis. The Iranians, Chinese or Russians will wipe them off the map.
