Holy cow, a 98,842-acre farm? In Paraguary? At least he will have somewhere to run to now. But for style points, he should have moved in with the forgotten German families hidden in the hills of Argentina.
In 2006, a classified memo was leaked that revealed the United States has interest in an air base in Mariscal Estigarribia, Paraguay. This memo, authored by David Wurmser and Michael Maloof, [1] notes that both Wurmser, and Maloof had met the American neo-conservatives to discuss a plan to attack "terrorists" in the natural reserve rich South American region. About 500 US troops landed in at the air base in Mariscal Estigarribia, Paraguay in July 2005, after Paragua's senate voted to authorize immunity from the International Criminal Court. American occupation of this base would put the Bolivian gas fields at center stage of the region.

Once knew a young Argentine, whose family owned about 30,000 acres up there. Very primitive country. 1 head of cattle per 10 acres. Roundups, brandings, most everyone working, on horse-back--pickup trucks torn up in a year. Most everyone in the wilds heeled. The wild west.

The National Republican Association/Colorado Party (Asociación Nacional Republicana/Partido Colorado) is a conservative political party in Paraguay, founded in 1887 by Bernardino Caballero. From 1947 until 1962, the Colorado Party ruled Paraguay as a one-party state; all other political parties were illegal. It also served as one of the "twin pillars" supporting the Stroessner regime (the other pillar being the military).

Also, Chavez has indicated that he will support Morales militarily if there's a putsch attempt like in Venezuela. And I'll give my consent to any government that does not deny a man a living wage-Billy Bragg
For the past year, the US government has been building an air base in western Paraguay near Mariscal Estigarribia, the US government has blown off allegations this is a permament base to keep an eye on Bolivia, but the (plausible) denials look a lot like those issued when contructing a base at Manta in Ecuador, now hosting the largest US military presence in South America. While this story has received vitrually no play in the US press, Latin America papers have been on this like flies on shit, there's a deep suspicion that there's more than meets the eye at Mariscal Estigarribia.
. . . But reading the article, I find I agree with Migeru.
Look, it is on the Bolivian and Brazilian border. Paraguay has always been compliant to US policies. So this isn't about fleeing and evading extradition, it's about setting up a base for waging war against Bolivia and Brazil.
War coming soon, maybe even before Bush's term "ends." The Fates are kind.
