Bush Family Buys Land In Northern Paraguay
Hmmmmm. . . . Getting ready to move on to the Last Sanctuary for other Old Party Members (Adolf Eichmann, Martin Bohrman and Klauss Barbie)?

Bush Buys Land in Northern Paraguay

Buenos Aires, Oct 13 (Prensa Latina) An Argentine official regarded the intention of the George W. Bush family to settle on the Acuifero Guarani (Paraguay) as surprising, besides being a bad signal for the governments of the region.

Luis D Elia, undersecretary for the Social Habitat in the Argentine Federal Planning Ministry, issued a memo partially reproduced by digital INFOBAE.com, in which he spoke of the purchase by Bush of a 98,842-acre farm in northern Paraguay, between Brazil and Bolivia.

The news circulated Thursday in non-official sources in Asuncion, Paraguay.

D Elia considered this Bush step counterproductive for the regional power expressed by Presidents Nestor Kirchner, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, Evo Morales, Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro.

He said that "it is a bad signal that the Bush family is doing business with natural resources linked to the future of MERCOSUR."

The official pointed out that this situation could cause a hypothetical conflict of all the armies in the region, and called attention to the Bush family habit of associating business and politics.

1. Can we get a group together and help them pack?
I think that would be a great service to the country.

4. Something smells here
I see that Navy ships are poised around Iran, ready to strike. Bush refuses to speak to NK. Indian Visa slots are pushed ahead before the first of the year with extra money to get them finished. Theres no money for anything else, but these visas are a must do. Then Bush buys land in Paraguay, and it is suspect by those officials in that government. Sounds like he knows it is all over come Jan. 1st. Does anyone else think like I do that Bush will not finish out his term after the GOP is out and he no longer gets congressional favors?

3. Does the U.S. have an extradition treaty with Paraguay?
I'm going to have to research that. It wouldn't surprise me if they didn't. The whole BFEE could hide out there after they've destroyed America and stolen it's riches.
They government and people of Paraguay should be worried.............very worried.

6. This sounds like a surreal but very simplistic kind of joke,
doesn't it?

I mean what are we going to read a few years after the Bush family have decamped/fled to Venezuela?

"At the instance of Government emissaries, recently returned from Paraguay, George W Bush has agreed to return to the US, to take up the reins of government as our President, once again. "This time", however, he insisted, "no more Mr Nice Guy"!

7. I think they're also buying a place to go fishing
in the Upper Mekong River.

We're hitching a ride on an ancient Russian helicopter to journey to Pailin. There we'll be meeting Adolf Eichmann, Martin Bohrman, Josef Goebbels, and a few other of Hitler's cronies. Or at least, that's what it feels like. If we'd tried to make this journey to Pailin and its ruby mines six months ago, our hosts wouldn't have hesitated to kill us. Now the fact that we can make this journey into what was and really still is Khmer Rouge territory is held up as a peace success story.

Late last year, the Cambodian government did an extraordinary deal with Pol Pot's one-time number two and former brother-in-law, Ieng Sary. When the Vietnamese held a show trial in 1979 of those responsible for the Khmer Rouge genocide, they called the regime the Pol Pot-Ieng Sary clique and sentenced them both to death in absentia. Pol Pot is bunkered down in Anlong Veng to the north-east, still fighting a bloody resistance against advancing government troops. But in return for his defection, Ieng Sary was officially pardoned for his crimes, including complicity in the murder of one and a half million Cambodians. He still rules Pailin very much as his own personal feifdom. In this interview with Sunday, he indulged in some revisionism of his own, saying he's an innocent, and claiming he privately questioned the barbaric policies of the Khmer Rouge as early as 1975.

I don't understand why, if you disagreed with those policies, did you still do what the Khmer Rouge wanted you to do.

SARY:
I was in charge of foreign affairs. I had to carry out the policies that they had already decided on.

COULTHART:
How do you feel about the fact that many people in the world perceive you and the Khmer Rouge as a bunch of mass murderers?

SARY:
Back then I did not know about the atrocities. I know about them now, but personally I did nothing wrong.

COULTHART:
Do you deny having any blood on your hands at all?

SARY:
I did not kill anybody at all.

8. As usual, it's all about oil & gas... and their money: see "Chaco"
Small Talk: South American oil minnow Chaco is worth exploring

By Michael Jivkov

Published: 16 October 2006

The South American oil and gas explorer Chaco Resources may well be worth keeping an eye on in the weeks ahead. Recent news from the AIM group has focused on its operations in Colombia, but word has it that an important announcement is on the way regarding its interests in Paraguay.

Chaco is said to be close to a deal with the government of the landlocked South American country which would double the size of its acreage there. News of the coup for the company could come as early as this week. The bloc Chaco hopes to win sits on a geological structure that runs into Brazil, where it is already producing oil. Given this fact, it is very likely that the Paraguayan side will also prove to be a success for explorers.
