Why Paraguay

[dennis00]

I think I figured it out. That's where the G.W.Bush Presidential Library is going to be built. No state in ths New Blue country wants it.

1. Paraguay is where many Nazis fled after WWII

Birds of a feather and all that .........

2. He'll sell that laughable stage set of a ranch

to the taxpayers of Texas for an enormous profit and that's where the library will be. The library will consist of all the papers that they didn't shred behind a time lock set for January 20, 3009.

3. Paraguay is to water what Saudi Arabia is to oil. Some say the

coming water wars will be worse than the oil wars.

Some people also say there will always be war.

There doesn't have to be.

4. While the Bush Junta were wasting 600,000 people in Iraq, and

pouring $11 million AN HOUR into their own pockets and those of their buds, the South Americans decided to have a revolution--and a peaceful, democratic, leftist (majorityist) revolution has swept the continent, with good, representative governments elected in Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Venezuela and Bolivia, and big leftist (majorityist) movements also in Ecuador and Peru (which will soon be winning elections)--and, as we know, in Mexico and Nicaragua. This movement represents the empowerment of the vast, poor population, often brown and indigenous, that has been so brutally exploited and oppressed for decades and centuries. The common themes are justice for the poor--schools, medical care, and other progressive helps--regional cooperation, and rejection of the U.S. "neoliberal" policy (the rich get richer, global corporate predators grab all resources, and all social programs are starved of funds to pay for onerous World Bank/IMF loans), as well as rejection of even more brutal forms of U.S.-back oppression (dictators, death squads).

This leftist movement must be destroyed. It is depriving the corporate predators of "easy pickins" in Latin America. I believe that Paraguay, which has a very weak government, will be the launching pad for a Bushite war against democratic governments in South America. The Bushites funded the murderous "war on drugs" in Columbia with $600,000 in military aid this year alone (OUR money!). This menacing force--which is really for killing peasants and leftists--is moving into Paraguay, where the Bushites have built a state-of-the-art military air base (also OUR money). I suspect that the Bushites' first target will be Bolivia, which just elected its first indigenous president this year, socialist Evo Morales. Morales opposes the U.S.-backed "war on drugs" and campaigned with a wreath of coca leaves around his neck--sacred plant of the Andes, essential to survival in the icy, thin mountain climate. Andes Indians view the plant far differently than we do, or than drug cartels do. Morales is also symbol of the Bolivian rebellion against Bechtel Corp. Bechtel privatized the water in one Bolivian city, then jacked up the prices to the poor, even charging poor peasants for collecting rainwater! The Bolivians rose up and threw Bechtel out of their country, and elected Morales.

This kind of behavior by Latin Americans--making their own judgments about issues, such as the "war on drugs," and getting uppity with U.S. corporations--has enormously aggravated the Bush "death squad" operators--people like John Bolton and John Negroponte--and their corporate pals. They failed in their war to grab Mideast oil fields, and need a new playground for horror. Perhaps this is where Rumsfeld is headed. It's just the sort of thing he relishes--torturing and killing helpless "little" people, and shoving them out of the way, so their resources can be stolen.

O-o-o-o, I'm getting steamed. Anyway, I'm afraid they have something like this in mind. It's just too coincidental that they're pouring all this money (OUR money) for guns and helicopters and paramilitary death squads into the worst governments in South America, buying up 200,000 acres of Paraguay, and...well, have nowhere else to go.

5. Well said.

Hunter S thompson said 50 years ago that South America was in the grip of fascism and it would take them 50 years to recover.
America is only starting down it's fascist path.
