Woo-Hoo! Looks like that Bush hiding in South America deal might be true

[warrens]

Here's the original story, more or less:

Our paranoid friends over at Bring It On have put together a story that hasn’t exactly made Washington Whispers. It’s real short and real simple:

The Cuban news service reports that George W. Bush has purchased 98,840 acres in Paraguay, near the Bolivian/Brazilian border.
Jenna Bush paid a secret diplomatic visit to Paraguayan President Nicanor Duarte and U.S. Ambassador James Cason. There were no press conferences, no public sightings and no official confirmation of her 10-day trip which apparently ended this week.
The Paraguayan Senate voted last summer to “grant U.S. troops immunity from national and International Criminal Court (ICC) jurisdiction.”
Immediately afterwards, 500 heavily armed U.S. troops arrived with various planes, choppers and land vehicles at Mariscal Estigarribia air base, which happens to be at the northern tip of Paraguay near the Bolivian/Brazilian border. More have reportedly arrived since then.

Now come this. While Bush's SS guy was getting mugged in Hawaii, this one almost slipped by:

ABC reports that Barbara Bush was the victim of a purse-snatcher in Buenos Aires, Argentina. In the middle of a restaurant, right under the noses of the Secret Service. Who’ve been having troubles of their own:

A Secret Service agent on the advance detail got into an “altercation” with someone after a night out and was badly beaten, according to the law enforcement reports.
Both twins are in Argentina, though no one will say why. Across America, normal families of rich white people are heading home to celebrate our victory over the savage Indians with a commemorative feast, but the Bush family is apparently dispatching two of its more disposal members to find South American hiding places should the indictments start coming down.

Deep in the jungle near Paraguay (national borders are fairly fluid in that area) sounds just about right for a war criminal. He buys up the local airport, refuses landing permission for anyone who looks iffy, and you gotta go on a 6-week expedition just to get near him. At which point his private Halliburton army kills your ass and feeds you to the crocodiles.

If I were the Punk, I would be thinking the same way.

1. Do they have crocidiles there?

I suppose he could bring them in, but if I ever have a jungle compound I am going to do something different. No crocoddiles for me - monitor lizards. They have the word monitor right in their name - so they'd have to be good at monitoring my vicitims.

4. Yeah, crocs there, agillators here

They have other possible disposal devices available too. Anacondas and flesh-eating fishies, for two.

[yellowcanine]

23. I don't know but the Chaco region of Paraguay is called the "Green Hell"

Different groups of French and Australian settlers were brought in - all left because they could not tolerate the harsh conditions. Finally in the 1920s and late 1940s Russian Mennonites set up colonies there and were able to survive and even thrive by closely cooperating with each other and with indiginous groups in the region. Unless Bush is planning to link up with the Mennonites, I can't imagine why he would want to settle there. His candy ass wouldn't survive a month in that place.

[karlrschneider]

40. Not "true" crocs, but close cousins - caimans.

:D
edit, misspelled crocs
arggh

[Buttercup McToots]

2. I believe it...

:wow:

[Island Blue]

3. "Jenna Bush paid a secret diplomatic visit"

Now there's a sentance you just don't read every day. :rofl: Things must be really, really bad for "the family" is Jenna is doing diplomacy.

[SoCalDem]

6. Keggers for Peace :) n/t

[Cleita]

5. Paraguay has an extradition treaty with the USA. I think they'd

better look somewhere else, maybe Venezuela? Oops, sorry they already dirtied their pants there with Hugo Chavez, so they'd better look elsewhere.

Now since they are moving military into Paraguay, could they be planning a coup there or in a neighboring country so they can change the laws in their favor like they have done here?

Time to put on my :tinfoilhat:.

[warrens]

8. Or bring in a private army

And annex a few thousand square miles, rename it Bushmania, and offer refuge for nazis on the run worldwide. At a nominal fee of $50 million plus expenses per person.

[Cleita]

12. I know you are saying this tongue in cheek, but with this

family anything is possible no matter how outrageous it seems to us with some sanity left.

[KansDem]

14. But couldn't this sentence begin the nullification of that treaty?

The Paraguayan Senate voted last summer to “grant U.S. troops immunity from national and International Criminal Court (ICC) jurisdiction.”

...and we know first-hand how Bush views treaties...

[Cleita]

16. I'm sure that they are up to something nefarious.

It seems when it comes to covering their asses no amount of planning is too much. Too bad they couldn't have done the same for our country.

[conscious evolution]

7. Let him hire'private Halliburton army '

The US Army Rangers will kick their asses!

Go Rangers!

[Syncronaut Seven]

37. The US Army Rangers will jump to their side, when offered 10x pay.

Some already have.

Sorry man, harsh reality.

[Virginia Dare]

9. My tin-foil two cents....

I don't know if Jenna is on any "diplomatic missions", but I do think she had to get out of dodge for some reason or another. This whole story is very, very odd, and I don't think any of it is coincidental.

[Writer]

10. Bucho Bush!

"I'm looking for a man they call Bucho. But you had to do it the hard way."

[KansDem]

11. Has ANY US president purchased land in a foreign country while serving?

Perhaps this question has already been answered, but has this happened before BushII?

This should raise concerns: Why is he doing this? And why now?

[stillcool]

20. Poppy bought it.... n/t

[KansDem]

26. OK...Has the FAMILY of ANY US president purchased land in a foreign country...

...while that president is serving?

At the very least, one wonders just how the Bush White House will approach decisions and policies regarding that part of the world.

[Cleita]

13. Just an added thought. Why is it that Nazis traditionally go

to hide in South America? You'd think the whole bigoted bunch would disdain being around brown people.

[warrens]

15. Lotta Germans and Italians emigrated there in the 1800s

And they run the outback areas with an iron fist. If they accept you, you will never be bothered by outsiders.

[DoYouEverWonder]

30. Some of my relatives put together our family tree

and it turns about one third of my family from Sicily ended up in Argentina.

[Cleita]

36. Italians are a large part of the population in Argentina. Many

Argentinians have Italian surnames and their Spanish is slightly Italian accented.

[BuyingThyme]

18. They plan on killing the ones they don't enslave.

[Nay]

39. Lots of Germans and Italians in Brazil. There was no extradition from

Brazil for a long time there. I think there is now, tho. And the immigrants weren't all Nazis either -- a very German town called Blumenau was started up by a Dr. Blumenau in the 1880's.

[Orrex]

17. Forgive me for this, but I'm a prognosticating genius

Check out my post from late December of last year.

Specifically, check out http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=105&topic_id=4505590">Joke Ten.

Sorry, it's about Brazillians, but I promise that it's worth looking at.

[blm]

24. BEAT ya to it - I posted about Moon/Paraguay in Oct.2004 and warned

that it's all about securing all the land above the Guarani Aquifer before the water wars - and just like the way Moon now controls more than half this nation's fishng industry he will control many waterways and water sources thanks to the over 4 decade relationship with the Bushes.

[Orrex]

28. Did you really?!? That's awesome!

It baffles me that people love Bush because he stands up for Christian values blah blah blah, and meanwhile he's totally in the sack with a guy whose whole MO is a slap into face to the most basic Christian doctrine.

Cognative dissonance, anyone?

[blm]

29. heh - I've been posting about Moon and Bush for 6 years - sometimes people

get it, especially when you make the Moon-LaHaye connection (Left Behind brainwashing books).

But then there are many others who just think it's a subject worth ignoring because it SEEMS farfetched. Unfortunately, everything said about Bush and Moon is true.

[hsher]

32. You're funny

:D

Those were pretty f*cking good.

[Orrex]

34. The Brazilians joke is underappreciated in all its forms

Thanks for your support!

:hi:

[hedgehog]

19. It sounds like it's too ludicrous to be true, but then in my life time

I've seen Nixon elected, re-elected, Reagan elected, re-elected, Bush 41 elected,a president impeached over a blow job, Bush 43 put in office twice without being elected...What are fiction writers to do when reality gets so strange?

[warrens]

21. Well, by 1943, most of the top Nazis were making arrangements

Two years. Timing looks about right. Wonder where Cheney is planning to go.

[Cleita]

22. He probably has his lake of fire staked out in Hell.

I don't think that man is long for this world.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

25. What are fiction writers to do when reality gets so strange?

Start writing biographies? :shrug:

Edit: I dropped the W in the first sentence.

[Minnesota_Lib]

27. Word hereabouts is that they are moving into the old Mengele place, by crackie.

:D

[hsher]

31. "Knock twice, knock with your cane..."

"Feels nice / you're out of the raiiiiinnnnnn..."

I think Steely Dan covered this one several years and albums ago. ;)
Any other fans of the Dan out there?

[Igel]

33. Has there been any confirmation?

Last I read the Cuban paper was saying that papers in S. America were saying it.

The S. American papers were confirming the story by quoting the local governor as saying he'd heard the rumors, too, but had no confirmation from any official nor had seen any paperwork.

The Bushling was there doing some in-country training with some social-service group (Peace Corps?); it was a mystery as to why she was feted, but that may have just been sucking up (I could imagine if one of Prince Charles' kids were in Maryland for a couple of weeks in the '90s that Clinton would have invited them to the WH for dinner; don't know that I'd expect it, but the US isn't Paraguay).

Some actual confirmation of something approaching fact-hood would be great.

[Virginia Dare]

35. Jenna is supposedly with UNICEF...

in Panama, which adds another layer to my tinfoil hat.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

38. Barbara Bush was in Paraguay just before arriving in Argentina

where her purse was robbed.

"...It was not known how long Bush's daughter had been in Argentina or why she was visiting. Some reports said she had been in neighboring Paraguay earlier, in an activity related with UNICEF. ..."
