[Marxism] Bush buys 40-70,000 Ha. of land in Paraguay

[Carlos Petroni <cepetroni@xxxxxxxxx>]

According to a news reporter from Paraguay who received the information from 
"high authorities" in Paraguay, Bush bought between 40,000 and 70,000 Ha. of 
land in Paraguay, close both to the controversial Tri-border (Paraguay, Brasil 
Argentina) and to a base usually operated by American troops.

The lands are located over one of the largest water reservoirs of South 
America, the Acuifero Guarani.  A controversial Argentinean public official and 
piquetero leader, D'Elia, is starting to make noises about it in today's news.

More interesting, Bush is said to be buying land without a clear motive.  
Residents of the area through left organizations active among peasants reported 
that the lands are being visited daily by "gringo looking guys" with oil 
prospecting equipment.  It is interesting to note that the Bush administration 
had declared the Triple-Frontera, the border where  Brasil-Argentina and 
Paraguay meet as a place where al-Quada and Hezbollah are operating collecting 
funds and gunrunning as well as conducting smuggling operations.

Moreover, the DEA has reached an agreement with Brasil, Paraguay and Argentina 
to establish a joint anti-drug and anti-terrorist office to control the common 
border.  Amrican troops are present in Paraguay and they conduct regular 
trainings and exercises with Paraguayan troops.  Paraguay is the only countrie 
so far that granted the US troops with immunity while in their territory 
against any crime or "accident."  Argentina and Brasil, so far, would not agree 
with that demand from the US State Department.
