Bush Family - 98,842 Acres and a Mule - Paraguay purchase
It has been reported that George W. Bush has recently purchased a 98,842 acre farm in Northern Paraguay.

What on earth does the President of the United States need a 98,000+ acre farm in Northern Paraguay for?

On the surface it looks all very innocent, but lets add the very quiet trip that Jenna Bush made to the country earlier this month in which she met Paraguayan President Nicanor Duarte and his family at their official residence. She also met with U.S. Ambassador James Cason. Could it be that our little drunken Jenna is all grown up and playing diplomacy?

This all still seems very innocent on the surface, but now lets add the five hundred U.S. troops that arrived in Paraguay with planes, weapons and ammunition in July 2005, shortly after the Paraguayan Senate granted U.S. troops immunity from national and International Criminal Court (ICC) jurisdiction. Neighboring countries and human rights organizations are concerned the massive air base at Mariscal Estigarribia, Paraguay is potential real estate for the U.S. military.

Does Bush plan on being charged with something in the future? Does Bush foresee a collapse of the United States and feels a strong need to have a place to cut and run to, or does Bush just need a nice secret little place other than Gitmo where he can send people he doesn’t like?

Now things don’t look so innocent.

Mr. Bush, could you please tell us what your intentions are and whether these intentions are hostile toward the people of the United States, or do you just intend on retiring to Paraguay?

1. How does that compare in size to Monaco? Luxembourg?
It sure seems to me that 100,000 acres is country-sized. Will it be a "principality"??

9. A cautionary tale:
http://www.bartelby.com/1001/index.html

The Island of Doctor Moreau
A Possibility

H. G. Wells

On a deceivingly beautiful island in the South Seas exists the sinister kingdom of Doctor Moreau. Shipwrecked in this seeming paradise, the unfortunate Edward Prendick stumbles upon the wild beastly creations of the sadistic doctor and enters into a bizarre and terrifying world of a doctor who plays an evil God and cruelly creates monstrosities of living creatures.

10. Isn't this what the Nazi's did when they knew the shit was
going to hit the fan? They secretly moved to a specific country (I can't remember right now)

This is suspicious...and they are using US troops....

12. He knows he's a war criminal. He may be able to game the system here
in the US (at least until the Supreme Court gets a shot at his unconstitutional elimination of habeus), but in most of the rest of the world he'll be a hunted fugitive once he leaves office, a la Pinochet. Here, too, if the Democrats ever get subpoena power. See ya later, W--have fun in Paraguay. Don't let the door hitcha in the ass on the way out.

15. He ran out of brush to cut in Crawford.
God, you people are always seeing conspiracy theories. I think that mine is a perfectly logical explanation.

Of course didn't Paraguay hide Dr. Mengele for many years--or was that Argentina.

19. Bush Dream Vacation! "torture centers, death squads and cocaine rings"
(re: escapees to So. America...) These included notorious Nazis like Adolph Eichmann, Joseph Mengele, Otto Skorzeny, Walther Rauff and Klaus Barbie, who worked for the CIA-BND as advisers to the dictators of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay and Bolivia, running torture centers, death squads and cocaine rings.

21. They can survive Chimpageddon with their neighbor, Rev. Moon.
Like Nevil Shute's "On the Beach" scenario, the radiation will fall mostly in the northern hemisphere. The Bush Crime Family's apparent new lands sit atop the world's largest untapped aquifer. They'll survive, even if we don't.

22. How legal is this purchase. How can someone purchase the worlds
largest untapped aquifer. How much will they pay soldiers to protect them on their land?

That water does not belong to them.

23. Chaco Resources
The news circulating the continent about plans to buy 98,840 acres of land in Chaco, Paraguay, near the Triple Frontier (Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay) is the talk of the town in these countries.

Although official sources have not confirmed the information that is already public, the land is reportedly located in Paso de Patria, near Bolivian gas reserves and the Guarani indigenous water region, within the Triple Border

You can follow some of the business dealings here:

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.
