The following are some very brief excerpts concerning a world leader. Care to guess who is being described?

"His most drastic revolutionary acts had to be brought into harmony with the law. If the existing law did not cover them, then the law had to be changed".

"(This leader) either by design or lack of creativeness, hit upon an elementary electioneering truth and has adhered to it ever since. An uneducated political public wants endless repetition of a few trite phrases; and he has kept on parroting certain phrases for over (number left out..don't want to give it away) years. A brainier individual would have wearied of this role of human (sound bite), but even today every speech is mainly composed of the same old generalizations, the same denunciations, the same old form of patriotism".

"Apparently he never reads very much beyond official papers....His personal rooms have no books...The written word has never had any appeal to him...He takes care, even today, to keep away from first-rate minds. He mistrusts intellect, even intelligence. Learning, as such, means nothing to him; he will do nothing to aid it, unless it be in the form of propaganda that may be of use to him".

"All the brutal sides of the (movement) pass him by. The repressions, the imprisonments, do not belong to the world of his imagination. He is too remote for them."

"He receives only the thrice-distilled views of (those) around him.Nobody can tell him anything or speak frankly, still less criticize his policy or himself.....Unless on accepts the view that he gets his inspiration directly from God, one must conclude that the future of (the nation) and the peace of the world rest on the mind of one man....."

"It is often maintained that he is a man of strong decisions. But may he not occasionally and jerkily take positive steps to convince himself that he is energetic- to cut the tangle of his own mental procrastinations? There are many opinions about this; but there is certainly a spasmodic appearance about his so-called rapid decisions that would appear to belie the interpretation that he is a man of action, thinking clearly and acting energetically."


Who is this person?
