ASUNCION, Paraguay (CNN) -- Mexico and Paraguay are the top two marijuana-producing countries in the world, a U.N. report says. His property has, or is near an old runway, Convenient

1. Probably one of those old runways that the bush crime family has

used before.

[alfredo]

5. they say it is old US military. It might have been used a lot when we were

supporting right wing thugs in the Southern cone.

[jwirr]

10. Think behind the scenes of the Iran/Contra scandal.

[alfredo]

14. No telling what made short stops at that strip.

2. He's there for the Coke, I can assure you,not the pot...

[lob1]

3. Somehow, I can't imagine Bush going from selling Shock and Awe

to pushing presidential pot.

[Muttocracy]

4. I think the Paraguay thing happened in my pre-DU Dark Ages

can someone give me the Cliff's Notes on that?

[liberal renegade]

6. are you making up for lost time?

15,000 posts in less than a year, wow!

7. This reminds me of something

but I'm too stoned to remember it at the moment

8. It's the Peruvian Marching Powder, not the grass

If that cocaine flow stops, so does a major source of Bushco revenue.

9. Usual CNN dishonesty:

"The U.N. report says marijuana cultivation remains concentrated in North America, where the largest producers are Mexico and the United States."

We grow and consume more than anybody, in dollars. My home state, California, leads the way in this regard.

[drmeow]

12. the largest producers in North America

are Mexico and the US. Paraguay is not in North America. If you look at the metric tons, Paraguay produces more than the US - 4700 US, 5900 Paraguay.

11. "For exiles are distinguished

More important - they're not dead
I can find job satisfaction
In Paraguay" (Rice)

No extradition plus drugs. Except now there's Fernando Lugo - maybe Paraguay won't be a safe haven after all.

13. Prepare for 'idiots' flight to saftey............

at his new home; Paraguay.

[PDJane]

15. He's close to the aquifiers, too..........

I'm sure the no extradition treaty part had something to do with it, as well.

No world court, either.....

16. Paraguay rescinded their non-extradition law, also their law immunizing the U.S. military,

and elected a leftist president this year, overturning 61 years of rightwing rule. The Bush Cartel property purchase has gotten some confirmation, though--about 100,000 acres on South America's major aquifer (see below). Paraguay's chief export is hydroelectric power, so maybe the Bushwhacks have some scheme to control hydroelectric power at the center of the continent. Their rumored--and it's still a rumor--property purchase is also near a U.S. air base that has been beefed up, at our expense, to take jet traffic.

The new president of Paraguay, Fernando Lugo, wants to the U.S. military out of his country. The Bushwhacks have been making major trouble next door in neighboring Bolivia--funding and organizing fascist rioters and murderers. Bolivia's president, Evo Morales, threw the U.S. ambassador and the DEA out of Bolivia in September because of this. Lugo is closely aligned with the social justice goals of the Bolivarian revolution, and with its leaders, Chavez (Venezuela), Correa (Ecuador), Morales (Bolivia) and Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner (Argentina), and has good relations also with Lula da Silva (center-left, Brazil). If the land purchase is true, and Bush intends to live there, it will be a major problem for Lugo, I should imagine. Bush is a war criminal of the first magnitude--responsible for the slaughter of a million innocent people in Iraq, to get their oil, and the torture of thousands. He will not be welcome in South America, where countries like Argentina, Venezuela and Bolivia, are actively pursuing war criminals from previous eras. There will very likely be movements to investigate, prosecute and extradite him, not to mention protests against his presence.

If the Bush Cartel messes with the aquifer--financially or any other way--this will arouse the whole continent in self-defense. The South Americans have formed a Common Market--UNASUR--whose first action this year was a strong defense of Evo Morales' government in Bolivia in the face of Bushwhack gross interference. The matter was taken to UNASUR, and not the OAS, most likely because the U.S. is not a member of UNASUR, and thus could not obstruct unanimous backing of Morales. The Argentine official below mentions MERCOSUR. That is a more limited membership trade group, but Paraguay is a member. I think what he is saying is that Bush's presence in Paraguay could bring Paraguay's membership in that trade group into question.

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."(MORE)

17. Actually, they wanted access to the huge aquifer below the property.

That's why Rev Moon owns adjoining land. they are banking on global warming and parched lands to fill their bank accounts

The new president of Paraguay was bad news for bush using Paraguay as a safe refuge from the Hague.
