1962: “HE WHO CONTROLS THE WEATHER, WILL CONTROL THE WORLD” (LBJ)
Nearly 60 years ago, in May 1962, then US Vice President Lyndon Baines Johnson (LBJ) gave the commencement address at his alma mater, Southwest Texas State University, now known as Texas State University. In the speech, LBJ talked about his international travels and professed that the United States must set the agenda for the rest of the world. (Source: Texas Archive) It wasn’t so much a speech about freedom as it was a speech about control. A very interesting aspect of control that LBJ mentioned was a comment about controlling global cloud layers: “He who controls the weather will control the world.”
