Will Bush Lose His Nazi Hideaway?
Source: Politics Plus (April 21, 2008)

Last year we learned the Crawford Caligula purchased a hideaway in Paraguay, whose right-wing government has a long history of shielding Nazi war criminals and other miscreants from prosecution. So it came as no surprise that Texas Torquemada had made similar arrangements for himself.

<snip>

The Cuban news service reports that George W. Bush has purchased 98,840 acres in Paraguay, near the Bolivian/Brazilian border.

<snip>

But the people of Paraguay may have thrown a monkey wrench (pun intended) into Bush's plan to protect himself from the international justice he so richly deserves: Former Roman Catholic bishop Fernando Lugo has won Paraguay's presidential election, ending more than six decades of rule by the Colorado Party.

<snip>

Mr Lugo brought together leftist unions, indigenous people and poor farmers into a coalition to form the centre-left Patriotic Alliance for Change.

Grab the popcorn; inauguration day down there could be quite a show if Lugo, a political novice best known as "bishop for the poor" decides to toss Bush out on his ear!

1. Bush ain't gonna have enough security to steal their water.
He'll be hung out to dry on a meat hook if he moves to Paraguay and tries to horde water.

Some have speculated that he might be trying to wrestle control of the Guarani Aquifer, one of the largest underground water reserves, from the Paraguayans.

Rumours of Mr Bush's supposed forays into South American real estate surfaced during a recent 10-day visit to the country by his daughter Jenna Bush. Little is known about her trip to Paraguay, although officially she travelled with the UN children's agency Unicef to visit social projects. Photographers from the Paraguayan newspaper ABC Color tracked her down to one restaurant in Paraguay's capital Asunción, where she was seen flanked by 10 security guards, and was also reported to have met Paraguay's president, Nicanor Duarte, and the US ambassador to Paraguay, James Cason. Reports in sections of the Paraguayan media suggested she was sent on a family "mission" to tie up the land purchase in the "chaco".

Erasmo Rodríguez Acosta, the governor of the Alto Paraguay region where Mr Bush's new acquisition supposedly lies, told one Paraguayan news agency there were indications that Mr Bush had bought land in Paso de Patria, near the border with Brazil and Bolivia. He was, however, unable to prove this, he added.

2. This article from Prensa Latina is hardly encouraging:

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.

<snip>

He said that "it is a bad signal that the Bush family is doing business with natural resources linked to the future of MERCOSUR."



The official pointed out that this situation could cause a hypothetical conflict of all the armies in the region, and called attention to the Bush family habit of associating business and politics.

3. From what I understand the church policy has changed and they have Pope Benny now.
But Pope Pius XII and the RCC also helped the Nazi's escape justice.

5. Wow, a land investment in Paraguay last year could really have paid off big.
Insider info, I suppose. This is good news for investors, I bet.

Maybe it's not to late to buy in, a leftist paradise deep in South America. Is anyone selling?

7. I first heard about this a week or so ago.

His family's good bud Sun Myung Moon has a nearby spread that's twice the size of Connecticut. This whole business is really creepy. There's some kind of nasty agenda going on there. Whatever it is, it'll mean more money, and most of all, more power.

Really, why all this interest in Paraguay? Who the hell is interested in Paraguay except criminals, Nazi's, and neighboring countries? They aren't going there for an idyllic retirement. Somehow,there's more money and power there and they're down there to get it. Whatever they're preparing for, I'm sure it'll be something dirty and underhanded. It seems everything they touch is tainted or else rotten.

Off topic, I can't believe all these many, many, years, I just learned to spell Connecticut. Never knew it had that oddball "c" in the middle. They're dumb.

9. Yes, and Neil Bush met Paraguay's ousted Pres. on behalf of the Moonies.
Daily Kos ran something on it a while back, just google "Moonies"+"Bush"+"Paraguay" and it should come up.
