What is our military up to in Paraguay?
There are now 500 of our troops there with planes, weapons, equipment and ammunition. Either before, during, or after the coming presidential election we expect the US to intervene or better put, invade Bolivia to control its natural gas reserves.

Paraguay has approved of the troops being there and given them total immunity, free from Paraguayan law and the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court. George and the neocons have threatened to withdraw $24.5 million in aid to Peru, Ecuador, Venezuela and Paraguay if they didn’t grant immunity to the US military.

2. Water wars are upcoming. RevMoon owns all the land above Guarani aquifer.
I posted last May that Gorbachev brought it up to one of my music biz friends that the upcoming water wars will dwarf the oil wars.

RevMoon has acquired millions of acres of land in Paraguay, Uruguay and Bolivia, as well as his longtime holdings in Argentina.

His acquisition of the land above the Guarani aquifer is serious business.

Don't forget that Enron was working to control water sources of other countries for years, too.

3. Greg Palast has written about privatization of water. I was horrified
to find out this was going on. Truly, there are horrible, greedy people in the world. x(
