Official narrative
One biographer referred to the Bushes as "the most successful political dynasty in American history".[1]
Alternative opinions
Researcher Mark Gorton suggests that crime is the Bush family business, and that George H. W. Bush set up a huge criminal network which, borrowing a phrase from Oliver North, he referred to as "the enterprise". A section of one of Gorton's essays is entitled The Bush Family's Criminal Rampage Through History, beginning with Prescott Bush's financial alliance with German industrialist Fritz Thyssen.[2]

The personal relationship between the Bush and Salinas families was a matter of public record. George H. W. Bush had developed close personal ties with Carlos Salinas and his father, Raul Salinas Lozano, the family patriarch. According to the former private secretary to Raul Salinas Lozano, in a statement to US authorities: "Mr. Salinas Lozano was a leading figure in narcotics dealings that also involved his son, Raul Salinas de Gortari, his son-in-law, Jose Francisco Ruiz Massieu, the No. 2 official in the governing Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, and other leading politicians, according to the documents. Mr. Ruiz Massieu was assassinated in 1994."[3]
