Paraguay in a spin about Bush's alleged 100,000 acre hideaway

Tom Phillips in Cuiab - The Guardian

Meeting the new couple next door can be an anxious business for even the most relaxed home owner. Will they be international drug traffickers? Have they got noisy kids with a penchant for electronic music? As worries go, however, having the US president move in next door must come fairly low on the list.
Unless of course you are a resident of northern Paraguay and believe reports in the South American press that he has bought up a 100,000 acre (40,500 hectare) ranch in your neck of the woods.

The New York Daily News reports this morning that first daughter Barbara Bush had her purse swiped on her first night in Argentina. We have to imagine the Secret Service detail on this one is getting the dickens of a ribbing for this security lapse. All this as commentary around the web focuses on the question "Why the Bush family would want a 100,000 acre ranch in South America

2. "Why the Bush family would want a 100,000 acre ranch in South America?"

For their getaway of course, the want to be close to their Nazi roots.

4. Seems it would be easy enough to check for large land transactions in the public records.

Of course, you can expect that the Bush name would not appear anywhere in the public records, but large land transfers would surely have to be recorded, wouldn't they?

8. And didn't they just pass a law where they don't extradite to the US?

9. It is predicted that the wars for oil will be nothing compared to the

coming wars for water. The land is near Moon. The Rev. Moon is near the largest aquafir in the world or the next largest aquafir.

Bechtel recently tried to make Bolivians pay for their water. The French (a French firm) also tried.

Where would you want to be when the citizens of the world discover the full extent of crimes against the people - with or without opening up locked libraries and archives?. Also, where would you go when international tribunals get ratcheted up?

Paraguay has allowed U.S. military bases to be opened. In a press release defending the build up - the administration said there are terrorists crossing the borders between Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay.

11. Note the sources for news on Paraguay - not Drudge? not NBC?

not FOX? not CNN?

Jenna in Paraguay. Barbara in Argentina?

Checking out the night life and shopping? Should the family be exiled?
