enjoying the warmer summer
I'm planting in September; abrupt climate change is here. Expect almost wilder than imaginable weather.

Bush Makes Massive Land Purchase In Paraguay Ahead Of Expected War Crimes Charges
10/19/6

From:
10/23/6
...Bush recently bought 42,000 hectares (over 100,000 acres) of land in Paraguay's northern "Chaco" region. The land sits atop huge natural gas reserves, according to sources in Asuncion. Moreover, the land deal was consummated in a dinner meeting between Bush's daughter Jenna and Paraguayan President Nicanor Duarte. Although Jenna, who was in Paraguay under the cover of a 10-day UNICEF trip to visit child welfare projects, put the Bush family seal of approval on the land deal, the actual legal papers were worked out by Bush family lawyers and business representatives. Jenna Bush is supposedly working for UNICEF in Panama City.
The Bush land is close to a new U.S. military installation, the Mariscal Estigarribia Air Base. It is also nearby a huge tract of land purchased by Sun Myung Moon that sits astride Latin America's largest water aquifer, the Guarani aquiferIsn't that cute! Little Jenna gets to represent the President of the United States in a private land purchase from a foreign country that will net him hundreds of millions on his retirement....
...Bush and the Carlyle Group are also the owners of major tracts of land along the proposed US super-highway linking Mexico and Canada, land that will be worth hundreds of millions more when the highway is completed...

Iraq's Sectarian Bloodshed 'Made in the USA'

...Saddam is a tyrant but he was trained and propped up by the US until he refused to open up Iraq to American corporate interests. The US gave Saddam the green light to take Kuwait due to cross drilling into Iraqi oil resevoirs (see April Glaspie transcripts), only for Bush to have the Rendon Group to manage the spin and misinformation on the first Gulf war. The Iraq military was NOT on the Saudi border as Sec. of Defense Cheney was caught in a lie by his own people but refused to account for the fact that other eyes in the sky showed nothing on the border (see "Why We Fight").
The US and UK have had a long period (almost 100 years) in dissecting and taking apart Iraq for oil...

The Secret History of the American Empire:
Economic Hit Men, Jackals, and the Truth About Global Corruption
by John Perkins
http://johnperkins.org
page 134
...I recalled a retired CIA agent who shared with me his version of Clinton's impeachment..."Linda Tripp was assigned to destroy a president feared as a reformer who might undermine the corporatocracy...As you know, guys like me always look for 'innocents' to do our dirty work. Less risk, no evidence. Linda found her innocent in Monica Lewinsky. She told Monica, 'Poor Bill doesn't get any TLC at home. You could do him a favor.' The rest is history."...
page 172
...SAMA (Saudi-Arabian Money-laundering Affair" changed geopolitics. It helped bring down the U.S.S.R., established the United States as an unchallenged superpower, and angered Osama bin Laden, the Saudi millionaire who would mastermind 9/11.
As I look back at it, I am amazed by the gall we had in those days. I often think about the role fate plays in our lives - fate and the way we react to it. I personally could never have taken on an assignment as complex as SAMA without the training I had received a few years earlier in Lebanon...
Chapter 31 - Manipulating Governments
page 173
During my first assignment in Indonesia, I showed my bosses that I was willing to create the inflated economic forecasts they desired. As a reward, they promoted me to chief economist (even though I held only a B.S. in Business Administration and at the time was the company's sole economist), gave me a raise, and sent me to the Middle East...
page 184-5
...The USAID man frowned. "We simply couldn't tolerate that. The world clamored for U.S. goods and Middle eastern oil. The long haul around Africa was way too costly. A bunch of corporate executives visited the White House. Ike heard them. The general took command....In essence...Uncle Sam forced Israel, Britain, and France to pull out..."...Those corporate executives, who just happened to control the defense industry along with most of the rest of the American economy, had forced the president of the United States to acquiesce to their demands. Now, less than two decades later, a government agency was spinning its revised view of history into its official talks. I was amazed...building what I was coming to understand was nothing less than the world's first secret empire...
...recalled Eisenhower's speech about the military-industrial complex...ironic...He had watched those executives gain influence over U.S. foreign policy during the Korean War...witnessed how they manipulated the press and Congress and employed the communist threat as a justification for whittling away at civil liberties..stood by as they sold technologies to the military for delivering missile-guided nuclear warheads to distant lands. But in Egypt, during the Suez crisis, he must have begun to truly fear the pact between the government, military, and corporations. He had acquiesced, yes. But deep inside, he must have seethed...

Chapter 43 A Jackal is Born
Jack Corbin was a teenager living in Beirut...in 1971...Africa...Among his many assignments: assassinate the president of one of that continent's most strategic countries...friendship between Jack and me that endured for years.
The son of an American corporate executive, Jack grew up with violence...in a suburb overlooking a section of Beirut, observing the scenes of life playing out far below...sometimes deadly...
...sitting on the patio of a South Florida Irish restaurant. It was 2005...Jack had just returned from Iraq, where he had completed and assignment the U.S. military was prohibited from carrying out itself...
Chapter 44 The "Non-Peoples" of Diego Garcia
...page 236
...decision was made to build a fortress - a nuclear warhead equipped airbase - on Aldabra Island, off Africa's east coast
...planners discovered that Aldabra was the breeding ground for rare giant tortoises. Fearing adverse publicity from a growing ecological movement, Washington redirected its efforts to nearby Diego Garcia...1,800 people lived there, mostly descendents of African slaves...
In a 1970 deal brokered by EHMs ["economic hit men"] and involving U.S. and British intelligence agents, London forced Diego Garcia's residents to abandon their homes. Every attempt was made to maintain secrecy. According to the BBC:
British politicians, diplomats and civil servants began a campaign - in their own words - "to maintain the pretence there were no permanent inhabitants" on the islands...
Many of the islanders were hustled across the water to neighboring Seychelles. England then leased an "unhabited" Diego Garcia to the U.S. government. In exchange, Washington offered the British an $11 million subsidy on Polaris submarine technology...
page 249
...The United States' role in the assassination of Patrice Lumumba in the Congo, our support of dictators like Jonas Savimbi in Angola, Mobutu Sese Seko and Laurent Kabila in the Congo, Abacha and Olusegun Obasanjo in Nigeria, and Samuel Doe in Liberia, as well as recent atrocities in Rwanda, the Sudan, and Liberia. Some were distressed by the failure of the Clinton administration's "African Renaissance," which most agreed was a not-so-subtle ploy to support one ruthless strongman after another. They talked at length about more recent attempts to forgive debt in many countries, of the Bush administration's deterination to craft this seemingly generous act into the latest and most subtle EHM trick to promote the rule of the corporatocracy...
Chapter 49 NGOs [non-governmental organizations]: A Stake in Keeping Africa Poor
"Are we being used?" Jenny Williams asked, referring to her work with NGOs in Africa. "Are the concepts of aid and development simply tools in the arsenal of the West, wielded not for the sake of charity but for the sake of control"...
