The Disney- Saudi connection - newly discovered facts
on Morning Sedition a researcher came up with the fact that a saudi prince (forgot the name) owns a substantial share in Dismney (invested in the 70's when they were down). So, we are a wholly owned subsidiary of OBL& pals (BFEE)

Disney seeks help from Saudi Prince
By Richard Verrier
Los Angeles Times
http://www.bupipedream.com/012704/wire/w2.htm

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia - Walt Disney Co. needs a real-life prince.

His name is Alwaleed bin Talal. His grandfather was Saudi Arabia's founding monarch. With huge stakes in companies ranging from Citigroup Inc. to the Four Seasons luxury hotel chain, he is one of the richest men on the planet.

That's why Disney needs him. The company's Paris resort is suffering severe losses. Alwaleed came to the rescue before and is being courted once again.

The relationship between Disney and the prince is one of the most unlikely in the corporate world. Disney is notoriously insular and fiercely protective of its brand and its image as America's premier family entertainment company. The prince is outspoken and ostentatious, and his nationality alone attracts controversy these days.

6. Alwaleed bin Talal and Rudi Guilianni
This is the guy who presented a check for $10 million for victims of 9-11 and then stated that America had brought 9-11 on itself. Rudi Guilianni refused to take the check.

And WE continue to enrich this guy so he can donate money to madrassas in Pakistan through our continued dependence on oil.

2. Did you see the posts on DU about all the ads for "Saudi Kingdom Holding
Co?" They were blasted all over CNBC, CNN and MSNBC. They are a large Saudia Arabian investment fund and they showed "Disney World" in the promotion advertising how large their investments were in America.

Many of us knew it was in response to the negative book and press about Saudi Arabian and Prince Bandar's influence on Bush. It was a massive PR Campaign as the ads were running constantly.

Your post ties this all together. Yes, the Saudi's own us, and the Japanese and Chinese own our national debt because they've bought all our bonds.

We are totally owned. Lets hope the Japanese and the Chinese are more benevolent than the Saudi's in that they won't get involved with censorship. But, remember all those lead painted items that were recalled that were made in China? Bet that won't happen any more.

Sick isn't it? Sad....whatever.
