At least two sources, including Upsidedownworld and Prensa Latina, report rumors of a Bush family purchase of land in northern Paraguay.

I read about this awhile back too. Could the Bush family be getting ready to bug out? Who knows, but it might be a good idea to keep an eye on this land to see if and what they start building.
If their whole family suddenly relocates then I will start to worry.
Extradition shall not be granted by the Requested State if the offense for which the extradition is requested is a political offense.

When this story first hit, in October, I did some research because I couldn't understand why he'd be moving to Paraguay. I found out that the country does not extradite political criminals back to the US.
That's why he would go there.

I found the link. Article IV (Bases of Denial for Extradition) of the US extradition treaty with Paraguay reads:
Extradition shall not be granted by the Requested State if the offense for which the extradition is requested is a political offense.

Wasn't Paraguay....and the Patagonia region to the south...where a bunch of Nazis fled as the 3rd Reich was collapsing in the 1940s ??
i wonder if the Bush family has an idea about a 'sanctuary'
or it was Bush's Trust & financial managers just bought the land as investment rather than as a place to live & retire at.
