Castrated, by Robert Gore
The proper US response to the Saudi’s threat would have been the middle finger. Ever-happy-to-monetize central banks and the world’s capital markets can handle a $750 billion sale of US debt. There would be a price concession as markets soaked the Saudis, but after the sale prices would rally and there would be no permanent damage. That the US would allow itself to be threatened illustrates what happens when a confederated empire runs on borrowed money. How long can an empire last that succumbs to its creditors’ threats? (China has a lot more US government debt than Saudi Arabia.)

The feds have been feeding it to us since 1963 and they don't deserve to remain in the gene pool.
How could our Eunuch-In-Chief ever bring himself to give the Saudis the middle finger?
He has already bowed to their king!

I think I like this one of the above bunch best. It possesses a certain pseudo-science or something~

Objectivist truther?
No.
Geopolitics is an ugly game. As soon as we entered WW1 (then divvied up the Ottoman), and especially WW2, then took on the role of defending against communism, we lost our innocence. Now it is enemies of enemies and stability/overthrows. Such a sad poltical symbiosis , complete with a history that we don't want exposed. My beautiful American experiment - a Republic dedicated to liberty - too bad we couldn't keep it.
Building 7...same story but the Money...ah the money...was taken before they blew that building which had already been targeted for destruction...the owner should have been charged with insurance fraud...he was a political zionist or what we call a Fake Jew or Jew in name only.
So now you know Why each building came down the way they did.
All of this other stuff, though, about faking the nature of the attack does not make sense to me. The goal of the conspiracy would be to cause deaths that appear to be caused by extremists in order to get the US to respond. If they have the ability to make planes appear to crash into buildings, they don't need the high-tech bombs. Using high-tech bombs and planes makes the plan harder to execute and more likely to be found out.
DoD announcement on 9/10 that they couldn't account for $2.3 trillion
Micro Nukes
Nano-thermite
Free falling collapse
Bldg 7 collapse from office material fires
Thousands of tons of concrete that magically turns to dust
Pyroclastic flows singing parts of autos hundreds of feet from the buildings and others burned to the bare metal
Aircraft maneuvers and speeds that far exceeded aeronautics and not repeatable by professional pilots
No plane residue at Pentagon or Pennsylvania
On and on, that we'll never know the truth of or will never accept. All in order to continue a belief in a country and government that we all know doesn't exist as we are raised to believe, maybe never did.
I agree completely, regardless of the merits of what they're trying to push us to do.
This case of distant people born to wealth pushing us around reminds me of the American Revolution. The colonies weren't rich and powerful. I would rather not be rich and powerful and do our own thing than be pushed around. As you suggest, not borrowing large amounts of money would make us richer and less susceptible to foreign economic pressure.
But we'll pull up with these annoyances. Once it becomes a crisis we'll cry "hoocoodanode" and then fix it.
