Why Is Richard Nixon Always Remembered As 'Brilliant'?

Nixon has always seemed like a self-obsessed paranoic to me; somewhat delusional. Yet, I've always heard people describe Richard Nixon as having a brilliant mind. But I'll be damned if I understand why. Most notably, Henry Kissinger has always said Nixon was ferociously intelligent. But I've never heard him give examples or otherwise explain why he thinks so.

Nixon was responsible for certain good things like establishing the EPA and opening up US relations with China, but I would hardly call these things 'brilliant'. Nixon was stupidly criminal in some of his actions.

If I remember correctly, Journalist David Frost pretty much took Nixon apart in that 12-hour interview. Wore him down and made him 'fess up. If Nixon were ferociously smart, wouldn't he have shown his intensity of mind in that interview?

Does anyone know why Nixon has this big-brained reputation?

I would probably put it in the avenue of 'cunning'. I think of Washington like a pack of dogs snapping and snarling. To get to the top, one has to have some cunning and some ferociousness to maintain that position.

I think Tricky Dick was more than capably cunning.

One of the saddest moments of my younger life was being in high school, in a home economics class where we had a TV, and we were watching the fall of Saigon. I remember wondering what the heck it was all for anyway..all the dying, all the death..for it to end like that. What a let down it was for those of us who had fathers that fought in WWII. We weren't *supposed* to have left that way, helicopters flying off the embassy, taking the last refugees out with the Viet Cong army on our heels, literally. I remember they rolled in Saigon with victory tanks, with their flags draped over their shoulders.

We all knew that the re-education camps were just down the road for the unlucky ones who didn't make it out.

I remember my generation hated Nixon like many hate Bush right now.

It is good that the 20-somethings living today get a dose of where (some of)this crap that happens in federal government came from. It didn't start with Nixon, for sure, but he sure took advantage of it.

I remember being so pissed off at the start of this latest war, and thought I had seen it all during Vietnam..the Gods Damn all of them. We have had to live through 2 Vietnams in our lifetimes... much more to come.

Nixon was one of the big boys of the illuminati, he ws given credit for routing alger hiss, when in fact he did no leg work. This was to set him up as an ANTICOMMUNIST so that he could do more damage:

which included removing us from the gold standard, wage and price freezes, supporting the red herring Isrelis in the Yom Kippur War, Nixon cut through inter-departmental squabbles and bureaucracy to initiate an airlift of American arms.

But the victory for its ally and the support provided to them by the U.S. came at the cost of the 1973 oil crisis; the members of OPEC decided to raise oil prices in response to the American support of Israel.[101]

(THE REAL STORY) there was no shortage. just like there was no shortage last year, it is all price gouging...)

After Nixon chose to go off the gold standard, foreign countries increased their currency reserves in anticipation of currency fluctuation, which caused deflation of the dollar and other world currencies. Since oil was paid for in dollars, OPEC was receiving less value for their product. They cut production and announced price hikes and an embargo targeted at the United States and the Netherlands, specifically blaming US support for Israel in the Yom Kippur War for the actions.

On January 2, 1974, Nixon signed a bill that lowered the maximum U.S. speed limit to 55 miles per hour (90 km/h) in order to conserve gasoline during the 1973 energy crisis.


Nixon had HENRY KISSGER, opened relations with Red china, Began deficit spending (the beginnning of destroying our economy) , opened relations with pakistan and of course their secret service, M5 and ours are one unit now, began the deviding of the country with segreagation (devide and conquer)

Nixon is credited with creating the modern day Imperial Presidency, in which the presidency retains a high level of control over government policy and decisions. In the early 1970s, Nixon impounded billions of dollars in federal spending and expanded the power of the Office of Management and Budget.[40][41]

Although often viewed as a conservative by his contemporaries, Nixon's domestic policies liberal. He ran a budget deficit every year he was President except 1969. As President, Nixon imposed wage and price controls, indexed Social Security for inflation, and created Supplemental Security Income (SSI). He also had plans to create a universal minimum income and universal health care, but was not able to realize either.The number of pages added to the Federal Register each year doubled under Nixon. He eradicated the last remnants of the gold standard, created the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), promoted the Legacy of parks program, and implemented the Philadelphia Plan, the first significant federal affirmative action program.[

In short he was a genius.

He painted himself as a right wing conservative when he was a flaming red communist.

when all his damage was done, the illuminati removed him to put their tight man in place instead.

He was go boy for the illuminati and the only president that did more damage to america was reayguns.

Oh frost was one of them, he took him down, tore him up, Nixon actually didn't know they were removing him, this is how they work, they sacrifice and setup their own all the time, once they are used up.

Deep throat was intelligence agency connected.

An effort to balance, in a politically correct world.

"That Richard Nixon was a complete sh**head, but, to be fair he was also an intellectual retard", just doesn't cut mustard, nowadays, where everyone stumbles over themselves, not necessarily trying to be fair, but to project an image of fairness. Expect a lot less of this in the future.
