That's a quintessentially American point of view. I highly recommend
_Anti-Intellectualism in American Life_ by Richard Hostadter. It helps
explain why ignorance is such an asset to American politicians (and
schoolchildren, for that matter), while intellectual accomplishments and
ability generally have to be hidden. It won a Pulitzer prize, which of
course proves that the author can't possibly have any common sense.

Yes, KGB likes intellectuals because they are so easily manipulated by their
own self-importance.

No, KGB don't HAVE to manipulate idiots. They manipulate the intellectuals,
who in turn lead the idiots until they all wind up in a ditch. They only
serve purpose to destabilize and demoralize. There is no place for them in
normalization phase because they find they have been duped and become bitter
enemies. It is better they be liquidated first in the normalization phase.

Here is full explanation from 1985 interview of KGB defector. If accent is
difficult, subtitles are in French.

Although plans may have changed since then, it appears that once plan is put
into motion, it is self-perpetuating since brainwashed idiots become too
deeply ingrained in thinking and entrenched in their positions, continually
indoctrinating others..

Your first problem, which seems to negate your entire statement(s), is
the obvious error in your definition of "intellectual." Anyone make
those error in reasoning/thinking is far from an "intellectual",
although very young ones might make those errors.

An exact example of what the error(s) you are making was given with John
Mccain--the IDIOT "intellectuals" called him a war hero!

Now, someone who was ONLY able to become a pilot because his father was
an admiral and exerted his influence, smashed up five planes
(http://www.vietnamveteransagainstjoh...ost_five_u.htm)
and was captured by the enemy and held for five years is NOT a true "war
hero" in the true meaning to the term ...

.... idiots abound, you can know them by the errors in the reasoning,
text and thinking ... idiots can't ... :-(

The Forrestal disaster was attributed to druggies. The enemy was no doubt
there on board. Many people have yet to figure out about the mechanics of
such disasters. I submit that there will be 2 sides to every story to come
out of the Vietnam war, and that sufficient truth is often left out to allow
that.

I wrecked a few cars before I learned how to drive. Have you ever been
tortured for information? or just for the hell of it? People who sit around
and talk about it over tea aren't fit to judge who a hero is but they are
often left to talk about it. Let's just call him "experienced". I really
don't consider Obama to be the "Black Messiah" either.

I feel that both candidates were potential disasters, showing the idiots had
prevailed before the election. The vote only served as an international
"poll" on how best to proceed to our doom. It seems the election has tried
to set the clock back to what it was before 9/11. Let's see what develops
this time around.

You must be an intellectual. Help me to reason this then.
