In a rare show of bipartisanship, President Obama and top Republicans in Congress have come together to shield Americans from knowing the truth about who was behind the 9/11 terror attacks, which took the lives of 2996 people in 2001. However strange it is for neoconservative members of Congress to agree with Obama on anything, there is no doubt the issue must be serious if it warrants this level of partnership.
The issue at hand is the classified, 28-page section of the 9/11 commission report, which many experts and politicians with knowledge of the documents have said point to Saudi Arabian government officials’ direct role in the terror attacks. This is why the Saudis put out a stern warning several days ago threatening to dump up to $750 billion in U.S. assets if Senate Bill 2040 becomes law; S.B. 2040 would make public the 28 pages and also allow for victims of 9/11 to sue foreign governments found responsible.
The Saudis’ warning seems to have worked, with Obama now in the nation to “mend ties” with the monarchy and top Republicans sounding the alarm about the 9/11 bill. In an interview with Charlie Rose, President Obama claimed:
“If we open up the possibility that individuals in the United States can routinely start suing other governments, then we are also opening up the United States to being continually sued by individuals in other countries,” apparently referencing the U.S.’ own attacks overseas that have taken the lives of countless civilians.
Currently, Saudi Arabia enjoys “sovereign immunity” with the U.S., meaning even if the 28 pages proved Saudi officials were indeed behind the 9/11 attacks, Americans would not be able to seek justice for their losses. The new 9/11 bill would change that, and the Saudi response to the legislation moving through Congress reinforces suspicions the kingdom is somehow behind the 9/11 attacks.
The video below further explains why both Saudi Arabia and members of the U.S. government don’t want the 9/11 bill to pass:

“…opening up the United States to being continually sued by individuals in other countries.” Right, Mr. President. You mean like foreign corporations would have the right to sue us if our laws and regulations negatively impact their expected profits, as described in the TPP? No, you didn’t mean that at all, did you!
No he means like the thousands we killed in Iraq and Afghanistan in the name of freedom. There even might be some families left over from Vietnam and Korea too that could a couple extra bucks in their wallets.
No he means the thousands we killed in Iraq and Afghanistan in the name of US freedom. I bet you there are still some families around from Vietnam and Korea that could use a few extra bucks too.
This bill is about more than individual Americans seeking redress from SA. If that part of the bill doesn’t work for you, then strike that language.
But the main purpose of the bill is to force a release of the infamous 28 pages to the public.
Don’t be so shallow and stupid as to believe we will be satisfied with the death of our right to know what happened on 9/11, simply because some one might sue.
To Hell with that.
Release those pages.
Open the 28 pages forget the suing we want names of those in the usa that help kill all the people.
Defenseless America, eh?
Capitalism didn’t work, obviously.
More than 7% of the US economy is owned by the Saudis….America…Better watch out…!! Big Brother’s warning you…!!
What happened to the video? Did our Zionist Jew government/Facebook take it down?
