Subject: What Does Being Unpatriotic Have To Do With Dubai And Paraguay?
Let me see didn't George Bush buy 98,000 acres of land in Paraguay in Oct, 2006? Jenna Bush went down there under the guise of working for UNICEF. On the side, she met with the President of Paraguay and the U.S. Ambassador to Paraguay to secretly buy (according to all the press in the Southern Hemisphere) 98,000 acres of land in Paraguay on behalf of her father. A good article is by Residentcynic "Resurrecting the Bush (Huge) Land-Acquisition-in-Paraguay Story" Daily Kos, April 27th, 2007, click Wonkette also.

The land is on top of the largest underground water reserves in South America and borders on Brazil and Bolivia. George's neighbors are his Dad, Rev. Moon and Mariscal Estigarribia a secret U.S. military base. Heavily armed special forces troops are stationed there.

So why, you ask yourself, does George need to invest in land in a foreign country? I've never heard of any politicians (other than Rep. Jerry Weller R-Il in Nicaragua), let alone a sitting President of the U.S. owning land outside the U.S. Sounds rather UNPATRIOTIC (where were the Democrats on this one?) to me.

Could this be illegal? Did he list this in his financial disclosure report, that all politicians are required to file? The first thing that came to my mind was the word EXTRADITION and sure enough Paraguay doesn't extradite criminals with the U.S. Surprise, surprise!

So if Congress should decide to impeach, our decider has decided to say adios to the U.S. So much for wanting to stay and protect us from all those terrorists lurking around every corner. Ah, Dubai, (United Arab Emirates), now that's the country Halliburton has moved its headquarters to. Now let me see, who use to be the President of Halliburton, before he became President (oh I mean Vice President) of the U.S.? Why it's Dick Cheney. Now why would Halliburton go to Dubai? Could it possibly be because they might not extradite criminals to the U.S.? Might this be a safe haven for Cheney?

Dick Cheney is the only politician that I've ever heard of not to have his investments in a blind trust. Read Alternet, Aug. 24, 2006 "Cheney thinks economy sucks." Could you imagine Bill Clinton not having one? I know Dick says he's too busy to check his portfolio, sure! So why Dubai for the Halliburton headquarters? Well let's assume no extradition. Dick then has his old job back (or did he ever leave?). He can conduct business as usual, selling services to the highest bidder, terrorists included! Don't forget, Halliburton, under Cheney's leadership, ignored U.S. sanctions against U.S. enemies and dictators including Iraq, doing business with them. Read "Cheney and Halliburton Go Where the Oil Ism" Multinationalmonitor.org May, 2001 volume 22 number 5. Maybe they'll even put Osama on the payroll. (oh, I forgot, he's got a job working for the U.S. government already!)

Where does this all lead? Bush and Company have nearly collapsed our dollar, they've put us in such debt with this war, that it will affect our country's growth for years and years to come.

Does anyone but me find it UNPATRIOTIC for a Vice President to take his U.S. investments and move them to Europe like Cheney did this year? See Kiplinger.com, Steven Goldberg's article of May 17, 2006. I mean he is the Vice President, doesn't he have faith in our economy? He took 10-25 MILLION dollars and invested it in American Century International Bonds (mainly in Europe) and this guy hasn't looked at his portfolio? Does he know something we don't know? If the dollar should collapse, guess where his money is, safe and sound, in EUROS!!!

George is pulling his money out of the U.S., too. We're at war, shouldn't he and Cheney invest their dollars here in the U.S.? (just asking) Bush who never traveled outside the U.S. until his presidency, now wants to reside in Paraguay!! Go figure.

1. Wonder what the % of land is that Poppy, Moon, Li'l boots and the military own. n/t

2. Impeachment would not put him in jeopardy, war crime charges would.

You know the day he leaves office prosecutors from all over the world will be gunning for him.

Another reason he bought that land is because it is sitting over the largest aquifer in the world. Another big land owner there is Rev Moon.

We need to see Cheney's stock portfolio to see any relationship between his holdings and government contracts.
