Why Is Saudi Arabia Scooping Up Land in Northern Virginia?

Geller Report: There is no telling what the Saudis are up to in buying all this land, but there is no doubt that it won’t be anything good. The much-touted “reforms” of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman are more show than substance. The Islamic Kingdom has been cracking down on dissent, arresting women’s rights campaigners and setting new stiff penalties for “blasphemy.” There needs to be a national discussion about Saudi activities in the U.S., and their intentions.

  1. Honestly, its not like thousands of acres. The Chinese are way ahead on real estate acquisitions and the South Americans are closing in. My guess is they are looking for a safe place to go when their power structure starts to collapse.

  4. @TRF – two words — John Kerry. He is the proto-typical paid off lobbyist the Saudis use in DC. How much Saudi money in the Clinton Foundation?

    The Saudis started buying schools in the 60″s.

    If Americans can’t own land in a country, that country’s people should not be able to buy land in the United States.

    And, as it has been discovered hidden in the secret signs and portents of The Constitution that local governments can seize land for no more than feelz, it requires no more than the nearby municipalities to eminent domain them away.
