Is Saudi Arabia Going Broke?By Brandon Turbeville After years of decadence and willingness to lavishly fund terror and propaganda all across the world and after agreeing to work with the United States in a suicidal attempt to hurt Russia at the oil export pump, Saudi Arabia is finally starting to realize that there may actually be a bottom to their bank accounts. Even as major Saudi corporations begin going belly up (the Bin Laden group is essentially bankrupt), the Saudi government is now openly considering its massive contracting population in IOUs and tradable bonds. As Bloomberg reports, Saudi Arabia has told banks in the country that it is considering giving contractors IOUs to settle some outstanding bills, according to people with knowledge of the discussions. Saudi Arabia has slowed payments to contractors and suppliers, tapped foreign reserves and borrowed from local and international banks in response to the decline in crude oil, which accounts for the bulk of its revenue. Even Moodys the notorious lying agency that gave derivatives in the United States good credit ratings before the collapse, downgraded the Saudi long-term issuing rate from A1 to Aa3. Bloomberg reports, Saudi Arabias economic growth is slowing as revenue from oil exports declines. Gross domestic product will likely expand 1.5 percent this year, the slowest pace since the global financial crisis, according to a Bloomberg survey of economists. Until there is greater clarity on this situation some negativity and increased speculation from investors and other market participants should be expected, said Chavan Bhogaita, head of market insight and strategy at National Bank of Abu Dhabi. This news comes as Saudi Arabia is threatening to sell off hundreds of billions of dollars of U.S. assets if Congress passes a bill that would allow families of the victims of 9/11 to sue the KSA. Although President Obama has already threatened to veto the bill, such threats were most likely hollow to begin with. After the news of the Saudi financial condition, however, it is even less likely that the Saudis would go through with their threat. Of course, we still expect Obama to veto the bill.

He cant approve that bill as it would hurt his fellow mussiesno way!!!! Is Venezuela the new Saudi Arabia? Choice properties at real bargains. The1%ers can scoop up land deal all through the latin american countries. Especially deal that might end up as cash cows once everything starts turning around. It always turns around Fukushima is not contained. Oil has been decoupled from the market and the price plummet was the globalists manipulating production and price to counter the inflationary effects of helicopter money (debt spending and QE) in US, Europe, China, etc which eventually has big ripple effects. In the first round, the big bank bailout printing press $$$ was balanced by income deflation, squeezing the middle classes. In round two oil prices were the most efficient target. Arent all nations going broke by design? I just love the way Turbeville throws out words, if they sell off US bonds then After the news of the Saudi financial condition, however, it is even less likely that the Saudis would go through with their threat.. This is the reason the military,government,industrial perpetual oil war machine rolls on. Solar panels may be getting cheaper but you can bet when the maintenance cost start catching up with their users theres really going to bey out cries of misinformed rip-offs and hidden cost not reflected by the pushers of this green energy wonder. You will notice there is never any discussions or printed articles about the cost of storing this green energy to be used when the charging source is not available. Like where does the power come from when the wind isnt strong enough to spin the windmills fast enough or the solar panels arent putting out whats needed because the suns been behind the clouds for a week. You are right about the hidden costs. I have been off-grid for 5 years and my power costs are the same as if I was on the grid. The plus is that I dont have to deal with the power company or ever worry about getting behind on a bill. Off grid is definitely pay as you go. Maybe theyre following the path of Venezuela, and for very similar reasons! Venezuela is in real bad shape according to the news coming from latin american news sources. Why arent they collecting on the US dept they are holding? Maybe the reservoirs are slowly drying up?
