    Well, when it comes to Deaf, Dumb, and Blind, we pretty much know you are neither Deaf, nor Blind, so apparently you are just DUMB!

    Show me.. You must have proof.

    Saudi has a couple trillion in investments in the US at the time of 9-11... and I remember the speculation that they would pull out, but that it didn't happen.

    No, the stock market did not crash after 9/11, the Dow Jones Industrial did take a -7.13% dip in price, at the time of the event. Keep in mind that we were already in a slight recession. It is possible that the events of 9/11 had little to do with this. Investors were very cautious about the U.S. economy at that time previous to any terrorist attacks.

    Historically there is a flight to safety which produces a decline in financial markets. The decline in these markets is usually short-term, after a brief period of decline. This was the case with the 9/11 attack.

    Our present economic situation is not due to any terrorist attack, but due in large part to economic cycles. 81 years ago the 1929 stock market crash ushered in the great depression. It took WWII to bring that situation to a close. We are due for another stock market crash sometime in 2010. This will close out the cycle. ( this is more economic lore than fact so take this with a grain of salt, just give you something to think about, as well as a starting point to expand your mind and research,)

    Not only that, does anyone else remember how the Saudi's intentionally crashed the Stock Market in the days following 9/11- by selling trillions of dollars of stock?

    If you don't think that the Saudi's are back in that same position again, as they are certainly part of the recent Boon in the over-inflated stock market we see today, well then, let me sell you a condo I have on Mexico Beach, Florida- cheap!

    But, wouldn't it be nice if Donald would just be honest and tell the truth- the Saudi's apparently have us over a Barrel! Literally!

    Yeah.. letting women drive is dangerous. Some things shouldn't be rushed. I'd hate to see the Kingdom crash and burn over this. Cooler heads should prevail.

    Jamal Khashoggi: Turkey to search Saudi consulate in Istanbul

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-45863334
    They should let the UN search it. Everybody else has self-interests.

    Well yes, certainly! May we take it a little step further and plug renewable energy sources as well?

    I'm all for building giant solar collectors in space and beaming the Power back down to Earth, naturally it would be a National Defense project funded by the Military.

    It is alright if the Saudis killed him. They buy apartments from Trump. He makes money off them.

    I doubt a National Energy Source would be in Trump's Plans, it would be too 'socialistic', but if that is what he wants to call it, I would be all for it.

    I am unconvinced he is dead. I really don't care if he is dead or alive, but I suspect he staged this all as part of his activism and is now hiding out in Iran.
