Laputa’s President Bush
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.
“To understand the policies whose authorship may be only superficially attributable to U.S. President GeorgeW. Bush today, thoughtful historians might wish to reference Gulliver’s Travels, Jonathan Swift’s famous satire on Britain in the age of Walpole and Hogarth. As I shall demonstrate to you here, the story of Gulliver’s floating island of Laputa, aptly suggests that Washington, D.C. today is a floating island of political lunatics.... This must be recognized as the true nature of what many foreign observers mistake for an actual, current policy-session of either the President’s White House circles or the U.S. Congress.”
