“Here’s a question for you, think of it as an IQ test: what did JFK mean by the following quote?”

“we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence”

That’s from Kennedy’s 1961 speech at the Waldorf-Astoria to the American Newspaper Association on April 27th. The sentence in particular is a veiled reference the Soviet Union and Comintern subversion efforts.

I’m curious, was that quote a real headscratcher among your two digit IQ crew?

No, you missed it.

One of the most important aspects of IQ is language comprehension.

This includes, among other things, knowing and understanding words. Especially key words.

(Next I’m going to give you the chance to salvage the reputation of your IQ!)

What word are we supposed to be focusing on here?
