I am not quite sure about this story, but here it is. It seems likely that the Bushes will probably own lots of land in other countries anyway, so it mayn’t be that unusual – who knows. www.thetruthseeker.c… Bush Buys Land in Northern Paraguay Prensa Latina Buenos Aires, Oct 13, 2006 Scroll down for updateAn 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.” 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. www.plenglish.com/ar…{EBA55617-2676-4091-ABBC-20650EB6FEE1}&language=EN
Bush Family Residence in Paraguay?
Written by April Howard Upside Down World October 11, 2006 Note: all links are to Spanish/Portuguese websites apart from the final “Moonshine” link.The Governor of Alto Paraguay, Erasmo Rodríguez Acosta has admitted to hearing that George Bush Sr. owns land in the Chaco region of Paraguay, in Paso de Patria. Acosta says that rumor has it that Bush owns near to 70 thousand hectares (173,000 acres) as part of an ecological reserve and/or ranch. However, the governor said he had no documents to prove the rumor. Acosta said that some stories credited the land to the Fundación Patria, which Bush would be a member of. The spokespeople of the organization were not available to comment. Supposedly, Timothy Towell, the U.S. Ambassador in Asunción (the capital of Paraguay) is the present administrator of the land. First accounts signaled that Bush had acquired 40,000 hectares (99,000 acres) in the Chaco zone of Fuerte Olimpo, near the Bolivian Border. A spark of the interest in this property may have been Jenna Bush’s private visit to Paraguay with Unicef, which started Saturday, October 7, 2006. Supposedly Jenna will travel to the ranch to ”observe” several indigenous villages are located on the property. upsidedownworld.org/… Also see: Moonshine rigint.blogspot.com/…
