"No haven for the criminal Bush family" - Paraguay land article

No haven for the criminal Bush family.
Paraguay
No haven for the criminal Bush family.:
Marina Menéndez Quintero
Juventud Rebelde (Cuba)

Is George W. Bush preparing to flee his country? asked Marina Menéndez Quintero in Havana’s Juventud Rebelde. According to Paraguayan newspapers, Bush’s father, the first President Bush, recently bought an enormous estate in Paraguay—between 100,000 and 175,000 acres, depending on which report you believe. The estate falls right inside the watershed of the Guarani Aquifer, one of the planet’s largest freshwater reserves. Paraguay, incidentally, is the site of a U.S. military base, installed a few years ago after Paraguay promised to grant American soldiers immunity from the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court. Surely it is no coincidence that last month, just after Paraguay announced that it would not renew the immunity treaty, first daughter Jenna Bush was spotted in the country “on a secret trip”—perhaps to try to convince the Paraguayans to reconsider. At first, authorities denied that Jenna was in the country, but later they gave out the unlikely explanation that she was on a charitable mission for UNICEF. Few believe that cover story. Someday, George Bush may be brought to justice over war crimes committed in Iraq. Only by denying him asylum can the Paraguayans keep “their integrity, and their sovereignty.”

1. The Bush-Moon alliance, stronger than ever. And some people STILL won't

believe it.

[Dhalgren]

5. Water is the new oil. The Bush virus must be dealt with...

[blm]

7. TA year and a half ago I brought a story to DU about a rocker friend of mine

who I visited with who had spent some time with Gorbachev in Europe and Gorbachev told him then the "upcoming water wars" will dwarf the oil wars.

I also brought up at the time that RevMoon bought over a million acres above the Guarani Aquifer and would control it.

Then I noted that Bush set up a military base nearby.

I wasn't surprised at all to hear Bush acquired some of that land.

12. Water wars -- a Geographer friend of mine told me the same thing.

And perhaps the Middle East is the first Water War.

[lectrobyte]

10. Rev. Moon, the Bushes & Donald Rumsfeld

Rev. Moon, the Bushes & Donald Rumsfeld
by Robert Parry

George W. Bush’s choice of Donald Rumsfeld to be U.S. defense secretary could put an unintended spotlight on the role of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon – a Bush family benefactor – in funneling millions of dollars to communist North Korea in the 1990s as it was developing a missile and nuclear weapons program.

In 1998, Rumsfeld headed a special commission, appointed by the Republican-controlled Congress, that warned that North Korea had made substantial progress during the decade in building missiles that could pose a potential nuclear threat to Japan and parts of the United States.
"The extraordinary level of resources North Korea and Iran are now devoting to developing their own ballistic missile capabilities poses a substantial and immediate danger to the U.S., its vital interests and its allies," said the report by Rumsfeld's Commission to Assess the Ballistic Missile Threat to the United States.

"North Korea maintains an active WMD program, including a nuclear weapon program. It is known that North Korea diverted material in the late 1980s for at least one or possibly two weapons," the report said.
Rumsfeld’s alarming assessment of North Korea’s war-making capabilities now is being cited by Republicans as a justification for investing billions of taxpayer dollars in an anti-missile defense system favored by Bush and Rumsfeld.

22. Alternative 3

was , is, a purported plan for the elites to survive the coming break down of the planet by colonizing the solar system in a covert operation. It is probably a hoax dreamed up bt someone to stoke the 'conspiracy" fires. I just used it to see if anyone would pick up on it.

I'm starting to think that the New World Order is more of a scam meant to usher in a police state that will be capable of controlling the masses when the oil ceases to flow in adequate amounts to sustain the so-called "global" economy, which can only function with an endless unlimited supply of oil.

At any rate the Bushs and their ilk will be ensconced in safe havens while the "useless eaters" of the world perish until a "sustainable" level of population is reached.

[Dead_Parrot]

23. It was a TV show...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_3

Although that won't stop some conspiracy theorists... :tinfoilhat:

[nicknameless]

13. That location is terribly worrisome.

:(

[pscot]

11. Maybe the rich

are planning to buy their own country, so they'll have a hidey-hole for when the oil runs out and things fall apart.

[understandinglife]

14. "Only by denying him asylum can the Paraguayans keep “their integrity, and their sovereignty.”"

Got that correctly.


Never Forget: George W. Bush willfully violated National Security to cover-up his willful launch of a war of aggression and illegal occupation of Iraq .... and, now he willfully provided nuke-making instructions to terrorists -- if you doubt it, just check 'the google' .... and LIEberman, and certain other "Dems" enabled him every step of the way ....

15. Suggested Letter to the Editor of the Ascencion News Herald

Dear Sir or Madam and to the Citizens of Paraguay,

Speaking as a Citizen of the United States: Members of the Bush Crime Family must be denied sanctuary. And they must stand trial for what they have done.

In a trial before a jury of their peers, the Government could show that George Walker Bush started an illegal war under false pretenses. He has been criminally negligent, at best, treasonous, most likely, in executing the Office of President of the United States. He has reduced the national security of the nation by deliberately exposing an officer and organization engaged in stopping the spread of nuclear weapons; and has destroyed the readiness of the U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Corps. He has enriched his cronies. He has bankrupted the national Treasury. He has helped penure the middle class. He also has subverted the Constitution of the United States. This is just one member. His father is worse.

Please do not worry. We will give them a fair and public trial. That is much more than they have done for anyone who has opposed them.

Yours truly,

[Tigress DEM]

16. Naaaah... let's think like repukes in this instance.

Paraguay should welcome them with open arms and then after all the cowards flee there.... change the rules.

Cave into the enormous pressure to turn over the vile and nasty war criminals once they have been found guilty and tried in absentia, of course.

[hedgehog]

21. Somehow I can't imagine Jenna negotiating anything more

20. I think he bought it so he could resell it to CARLYLE at a hefty profit...

maybe Halliburton. Too bad Enrons' WATER BIZ fell apart when they did --it was supposed to save the company.
