WEBVTT - Rhodesian Bush War 0:00:00.960 --> 0:00:05.600 It is the Jesse Kelly Show in Woo Hoo. Indeed, 0:00:05.840 --> 0:00:07.400 it is time. 0:00:06.960 --> 0:00:10.840 To do history. I will be back with more politics 0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:13.120 in the final hour, where we're going to talk about 0:00:13.160 --> 0:00:17.480 the COVID shot information that's coming out another museum. Heighst 0:00:17.640 --> 0:00:20.800 medical schools are horrible, people are leaving college. I'll get 0:00:20.800 --> 0:00:23.439 to emails. All that stuff is coming, but it ain't 0:00:23.480 --> 0:00:27.680 coming right now because it is our two and we 0:00:27.720 --> 0:00:31.479 are smack dab in the middle of our history on 0:00:31.560 --> 0:00:35.320 the Rhodesian Bush War. Again reminding you parts one and 0:00:35.440 --> 0:00:39.320 part two with all kinds of background that was last 0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:41.880 night in the night before. You gotta go download the 0:00:41.920 --> 0:00:44.280 podcast if you want that. I think you will find 0:00:44.280 --> 0:00:48.400 it helpful. Not a requirement at all to understand kind 0:00:48.400 --> 0:00:50.360 of where we're at now where we pick up today, 0:00:50.360 --> 0:00:56.680 but I think it would be incredibly helpful. Now, let's 0:00:56.680 --> 0:01:02.760 talk about the state of Rhodesia. Let's first talk about voting, 0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:06.479 shall we. I posed a question to you last night 0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:10.000 at the end of our little history segment. I posed 0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:13.280 a question to you about us, about our country, your country, 0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:19.000 my country, Who should be able to vote? And I 0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:23.880 think we agreed last night that there should be some restrictions. Right. 0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:27.720 We may disagree on what those restrictions might be. But 0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:30.760 you don't want ten year olds to have a vote, right. 0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:35.679 You don't want felons sitting in the joint getting ready 0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:37.679 to go to the electric chair tomorrow. You don't want 0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:42.000 them to have a vote. Right. You don't want illegals 0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:45.160 to vote to you. Okay, So no matter what you agree, 0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:49.200 there should be some restrictions. Now, I'm going to play 0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:51.560 you something. I know we're doing history, but I'm going 0:01:51.640 --> 0:01:55.760 to play you something I played at last hour. Here's 0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:59.559 Shri Indiana Jones of Michigan. I am sick of your lives. 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:01.880 The American people are sick of this lies. 0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:08.600 American people demand truth. America is there? Do you think 0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:13.880 if we add higher voting standards in this country that 0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:19.600 Sri Indiana Jones would be a member of Congress? Play Chris, 0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:23.639 you know what? Give me a favorite, Chris grab Hank 0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:29.040 Johnson Guam tipping over. We haven't played that one in ages. 0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:31.720 It's years and years and years old. I think this 0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:34.239 might be ten years old. The reason I bring it 0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:37.960 up is Hank Johnson just got done calling America the 0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:38.720 great Satan. 0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:43.040 We are the world's number one bully, and we're using 0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:53.840 our immense, unrifled power to rule over those who have 0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:58.560 less power, and we're doing it with impunity. And this 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:03.520 sends a shot message to the world that America is 0:03:03.639 --> 0:03:08.799 indeed the what did what did they used to call 0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:11.880 it the Great Hand of Satan or something. 0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:16.760 That's the same Hank Johnson back in the day who 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:17.919 said this, this. 0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:25.920 Is a island that at its widest level is what 0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:31.200 twelve miles from shore to shore, and at its smallest 0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:44.880 level or smallest location, it's seven miles between one shore 0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:47.480 and the other. Is that correct? 0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:51.920 I don't have the exact dimensions, but to your point, sir, 0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:54.040 I think Guam is a small island. 0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:54.880 Yeah. 0:03:54.920 --> 0:04:01.000 My fear is that the whole island will become so 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:10.560 overly populated that it will tip over and capsize. 0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:15.760 We don't anticipate that. Let me ask you an honest question, 0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:22.560 funny as that is, if we had higher voting standards 0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:26.279 in this country, do you think that person would still 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:30.800 be in Congress making decisions on laws that govern the 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:36.479 most powerful country on the planet, of course not. Rhodesia 0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:42.200 was the wealthiest country in all of Africa. As I 0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:48.240 mentioned several times already paved roads, wonderful schools, doctors, lawyers, 0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:50.600 great standard of living. You would have thought you were 0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:54.719 in any modern American city. All the rest of Africa, 0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:56.520 not all of it, but most of the rest of 0:04:56.560 --> 0:05:00.599 Africa living in backwards conditions and men and there's this 0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:07.679 jewel in Rhodesia. So who got to pick the government 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:12.880 of Rhodesia. Well, there were changes over time, by the way, 0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:19.039 but in general you had to qualify to vote, and 0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:23.000 contrary to what all the do gooder commis around the 0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:25.880 world said at the time, part of the qualification was 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:30.360 not the color of your skin, but there were literacy requirements, 0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:35.560 property qualifications, you had to be a subject of the 0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:38.160 British Empire. There were things, and I don't want to 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:41.400 get too specific, because they changed. You know, pre nineteen 0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:44.880 sixty one they were more strict than Rhodesia. Trying to 0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:49.560 try to roll back some things started to ease those restrictions. 0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:52.320 But you know, on the voting rolls, for instance, in 0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:56.039 nineteen sixty one there were ninety five thousand white people 0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:58.800 who were able to vote and there were twenty two 0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:01.400 hundred black apps Fricans who were able to vote. It 0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:06.680 was not barring any skin color, but because the qualifications 0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:11.159 were what they were, because there were standards, a large 0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:15.479 percentage of the white Europeans in Rhodesia could vote and 0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:19.640 a very small percentage of the Black Africans could vote. 0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:26.040 Now that sounds extremely discriminatory, doesn't it. That sounds wrong. 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:30.000 Surely everybody who reaches the age of eighteen should have 0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:33.360 a say in the government, right. And the reason I 0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:35.360 bring this up is it's going to become a central 0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:38.800 theme of our story. Rhodesia didn't see it that way. 0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:43.120 Rhodesia enjoyed its standard of living, enjoyed the kind of 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:46.919 country it was. But here's a problem, you see, and 0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:51.279 it's a big problem. You've heard of the Labor government, 0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:55.880 the Labor Party, I should say, of Britain. I've told 0:06:55.920 --> 0:06:58.720 you before, that's their Democrats, that's their Communist Party. Those 0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:01.520 are the ones who run Britain. Now, that's why they're 0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:05.320 massively importing Muslims from all over the planet to form 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:08.880 rape gangs, to pillage the British women. The Labor Party, 0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:12.800 well in the nineteen sixties, there are things going on 0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:18.440 globally that are going to essentially doom Rhodesia in the end, 0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:22.680 and one of those things is the Labor Party was 0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:30.440 running things in Britain. Combine that with this, the airfingers 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:37.239 quote civil rights movement globally is really really reaching its peak. 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:40.360 Now why did I say airfingers quote Because the civil 0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:43.560 rights movement surely was only good, right, and I think 0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:46.000 you would agree with me that, Yeah, it's probably not 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:49.240 great to have black people eating at different restaurants, and 0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:51.720 that's not a great way to run society. That's not 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:54.880 a just way to run society. The reason I gave 0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:58.600 the airfingers quote thing on it was, well, remember what 0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:02.320 we talked about last hour. I've spoken before about this 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:04.840 many times. Let me use the example I've used before 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:08.920 in Montana in the Rocky Mountains. If you hike through 0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:12.040 the Rocky Mountains in an area full of boulders, you 0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:16.280 will inevitably come across one that looks It looks like 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:20.440 God pulled out his sword and sliced it in half. 0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:25.880 It's not just broken, it's this clean, smooth break. It's 0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:28.160 odd looking. We're talking about a boulder the size of 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:33.480 your car sliced in two. Only God didn't use his sword. 0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:39.760 You see, over time that boulder developed a little crack, 0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:42.280 not big, you might not even really see it with 0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:47.920 your eye, a little crack. What happened from there? Water, inevitably, 0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:51.199 maybe it's snow melting, maybe it's rain. Water would get 0:08:51.240 --> 0:08:55.120 in it, and then one night the temperature would drop 0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:59.000 to such a degree that water would freeze. When water 0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:05.320 freezes its spans, when it expanded, pop the rock shattered 0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:13.280 into This is exactly what communists do in every single society. 0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:18.920 They find existing cracks, legitimate cracks, by the way, oftentimes 0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:23.920 legitimate cracks. They find the cracks in your society, They 0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:27.640 get inside of that crack and they try to freeze 0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:33.400 it to shatter the society. And the global communists most definitely, 0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:36.920 the Soviets recognize the civil rights movement, not just in 0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:40.240 America but other places, but the civil rights movement as 0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:45.400 an incredible opportunity for them to shatter the country, and 0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:48.360 they got involved in it. They were very focused about 0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:52.080 being involved in it. They viewed it as an opportunity 0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:58.920 to break America, to break Western civilization. This was going 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:03.160 on in many different countries in the nineteen sixties. Now 0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:06.600 I already laid out the government of Rhodesia at the time. 0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:11.400 How do you think their government, how do you think 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:15.880 that's landing with the global civil rights do gooders on 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:19.240 the planet. Let me spoil it for you. It ain't 0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:24.199 landing well and Britain decides they want to do something 0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:24.679 about it. 0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:25.959 Uh. 0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:31.320 Oh, it is the Jesse Kelly Show on a magnificent 0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:36.200 magnificent Thursday. Do not forget tomorrow's ask doctor Jesse Friday. 0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:38.440 You need to email your questions. They don't have to 0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:41.760 be political, doesn't matter what it is, history, food, whatever. 0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:46.280 Email them into Jesse at jessekellyshow dot com. It is 0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:50.240 the nineteen sixties. The civil rights movement across the globe 0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:53.959 has been invaded and infected by communists doing the best 0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:57.920 they can to divide Western society. And of course Britain 0:10:57.920 --> 0:11:01.440 has their Communists as well have our Democrats. They have 0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:07.520 their Labor Party, the Labor government in Britain. They don't 0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:11.400 like the look of Rhodesia right now. Yeah, of course 0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:18.040 it's wealthy, it's prosperous, it's clean, it's wonderful. But not 0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:22.400 everyone gets to vote. In fact, not very many Black 0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:26.640 Africans get to vote. Lots of white Europeans get to vote, 0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:32.440 and so they start pushing. Remember at this point, Rhodesia 0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:36.560 is a British colony. I cannot stress that enough. A 0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:43.040 British colony, meaning they are under the British crown. Britain says, uh, 0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:47.559 how about one man, one vote, everyone gets to vote. Well, 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:52.480 the government, the people of Rhodesia, they understandably said, excuse me, 0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:55.960 look around at Africa. Do you have any idea what's 0:11:56.000 --> 0:11:58.679 going to happen if we allow everybody to have a 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:01.680 vote with no property requirements and know nothing of it. 0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:04.400 Do you understand what will happen here? The whole place 0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:08.120 will be over all this prosperity. The communists didn't want 0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:10.840 to hear it. One man, one vote, one man, one vote, 0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:16.679 over and over and over and over again. Now Rhodesha 0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:19.800 has to make a choice. And keep in mind that 0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:25.440 I'm really skipping over some boring political negotiations. But Rhodesia's 0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:29.720 government they were trying as hard as they could to 0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:33.240 do whatever they had to do to work with Britain, 0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:36.720 so they didn't have to do well what they're about 0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:40.640 to do, meaning in nineteen sixty one they even changed 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:43.599 how they do the voting. They didn't change it completely, 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:46.600 but they opened it up a little bit more, kind 0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:49.880 of introduced tiers to it. You could be in the 0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:53.160 A tier. The beat again their work. They're trying to 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:58.160 massage the situation without giving up their country. Britain did 0:12:58.200 --> 0:13:01.320 not want to hear it. Communists in Britain did not 0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:04.200 want to hear it, and they said, no, you will 0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:11.000 do this, and so Rhodesia they rebelled. There's no other 0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:15.360 way to put it. In nineteen sixty five, rhodesha said, yeah, 0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:20.120 we're not a British colony anymore. Now we're ours, We're Rhodesia, 0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:23.040 we're independent and this is how we're going to run things. 0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:23.280 Now. 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:28.280 Now pause for a second. You have probably heard of 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:33.199 the SAS before, the Special Air Service. If you have not, 0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:37.720 you should know that that is the British version of 0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:41.400 the Navy Seals, and in fact they came about really 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:44.959 because of the British fighting in Northern Africa. They were 0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:47.760 the guys parachuting behind enemy lines doing all kinds of 0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:50.880 you know, special operations stuff. They are to this day, 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:55.800 bad to the bone, bad dudes. The British SAS well. 0:13:56.360 --> 0:14:01.679 Up to this point, remember we're in the sixties Jijia's military. 0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:05.640 They would work hand in hand with Britain's military because 0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:10.959 again it's a British colony, and Rhodesia had an SAS 0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:15.920 as well that trained with the British sas. Super super 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:21.560 bad dudes. You get what I'm saying. Rhodesia declares independence 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:27.360 in nineteen sixty five. Britain is so angry about this, 0:14:27.920 --> 0:14:33.800 they actually consider a military response to the open rebellion 0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:38.040 of the Rhodesian country of the Rhodesian government, and they 0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:43.200 approached the British sas and start talking to them about it. 0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:49.520 The British SAS had such a level of respect for 0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:53.480 the Rhodesians they had trained with and worked with, the 0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:58.280 British government essentially faced a mutiny from within their own 0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:02.240 high level sas. The guys weren't going to go No, 0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:06.920 I'm good, I'm not You want me to attack Rhodesia. Nah, 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:11.720 Now you got to do something. If you're the British government, right, 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:18.040 you can't let open rebellion go, especially these white racists 0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:20.040 in Rhodesia. And again, I want to remind you of 0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:24.560 something I reminded you of last night. Over half of 0:15:24.680 --> 0:15:29.320 the Rhodesian army was black Africans. This is not a 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:33.120 white versus black thing. How it was sold to the planet. 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:39.080 Black Africans died with their European brothers in this war. 0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:43.240 Europeans would give their lives to save Black Africans in 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:47.520 this war. This wasn't some Nazi that's not at all. 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:51.080 How it was. Yes, there were fewer black voters, no 0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:56.760 question about it. It was not a white versus black thing. Anyway, 0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:04.600 Britain has to do something. So they essentially get the world, 0:16:04.880 --> 0:16:11.160 that really most of the civilized world, to sanction Rhodesia. 0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:13.800 This is a country that is landlocked. Keep in mind 0:16:13.800 --> 0:16:18.240 they have no access to water, anything like that. Britain 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:25.040 slaps sanctions strict ones on Rhodesia. Now, this would normally 0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:30.040 be about the end of any landlocked country, but Rhodesia, 0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:35.040 to their credit, they had a couple friends and those 0:16:35.040 --> 0:16:38.360 friends happen to be neighbors. We'll talk about those friends 0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:42.600 some combat things in a moment. It is the Jesse 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:48.080 Kelly Show on a fantastic, fantastic Thursday. Remember to send 0:16:48.080 --> 0:16:51.080 in your ask doctor Jesse questions for tomorrow. Remember you 0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:54.720 can download the show iheard Spotify iTunes. Let's get back 0:16:54.760 --> 0:16:59.880 to the story. Here nineteen sixty five, Rhodesha declares it's independence. 0:17:00.800 --> 0:17:04.439 Britain is upset, to put it mildly, they get the 0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:08.800 rest of the world and they themselves slap crippling sanctions 0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:12.320 on Rhodesia, or I should say what should be crippling 0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:17.280 sanctions on Rhodesia. But Rhodesia has a couple of friends. 0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:19.959 Now we need to do something that I did with 0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:22.359 you the first night, but we're probably going to do 0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:25.080 this a couple more times because you have to visualize this. 0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:26.920 You don't have to look at a map. You can, 0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:30.080 but I want you to draw a circle in your mind, 0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:32.199 or maybe you can draw one if you're a visual person. 0:17:33.240 --> 0:17:35.320 I want you to make this a clock. Okay, so 0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:41.200 it's a clock. Now from twelve o'clock to six o'clock. 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:45.280 That's obviously half the clock. There is a country known 0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:52.520 as Mozambique, all right, Mozambique. From twelve o'clock over to 0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:57.280 let's call it ten o'clock. There is a country known 0:17:57.359 --> 0:18:03.840 as Zambia. All right. From six o'clock to about eight 0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:07.119 o'clock there is South Africa. Why am I doing this 0:18:07.280 --> 0:18:10.720 slame clock thing? Because it matters so much for our 0:18:10.760 --> 0:18:16.719 story South Africa. We will begin there. South Africa and 0:18:16.880 --> 0:18:22.160 Rhodesia are as tight as tight can get. There are 0:18:22.200 --> 0:18:26.120 so many South Africans in Rhodesia. They love each other, 0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:31.200 they work together, they have similar forms of They our best, best, 0:18:31.560 --> 0:18:35.919 best freaking friends. As far as countries go, South Africa 0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:40.720 is a friend. When these sanctions get slapped on Rhodesia, 0:18:41.240 --> 0:18:44.600 South Africa steps up and says, hey, we got you, 0:18:45.280 --> 0:18:48.200 sell us your stuff. We'll continue to trade with each other. 0:18:48.560 --> 0:18:52.159 South Africa also has and this will definitely matter for 0:18:52.240 --> 0:18:56.600 our story. Throughout our story. They have that wonderful, wonderful 0:18:56.720 --> 0:19:03.040 liquid gold known as oil. Keep Rhodesia's well supplied with oil. 0:19:03.240 --> 0:19:07.439 They have a friend. Now, let's go to Mozambique. Remember 0:19:07.440 --> 0:19:12.320 the twelve o'clock to six o'clock, big, big border with Rhodesia. 0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:17.480 They're also friendly because Mozambique at this point, and this 0:19:17.520 --> 0:19:21.440 will change. Spoiler alert, this is going to change. Mozambique 0:19:21.480 --> 0:19:26.480 is run by the Portuguese. All right, the Portuguese Rhodesia. 0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:31.200 They get along. They are still working with each other, trading. 0:19:32.520 --> 0:19:35.760 Zambia the country in the northwest. Forget about them. We 0:19:35.800 --> 0:19:37.199 are going to get to them. They're going to be 0:19:37.240 --> 0:19:42.159 featured here shortly. But Rhodesha has friends. What's the result 0:19:42.240 --> 0:19:46.320 of this, They declare independence. All these sanctions they're supposed 0:19:46.320 --> 0:19:53.719 to be bankrupted, Rhodesia's flourishing, flourishing. They went independent and 0:19:53.760 --> 0:20:00.720 they're getting along really, really well. Now we have to 0:20:00.760 --> 0:20:04.320 go globally again, because this will matter for the rest 0:20:04.320 --> 0:20:10.040 of our story. Communists, it's a religion of destruction and domination. 0:20:10.200 --> 0:20:14.439 As we've talked about so many times before, communism was 0:20:14.600 --> 0:20:19.399 never supposed to be about any one country. Communism was 0:20:19.560 --> 0:20:25.800 always designed, always pushed as being a global thing. At 0:20:25.800 --> 0:20:29.719 this point in history, the Soviet Union is chernin and burning, 0:20:30.680 --> 0:20:36.000 China chernin and burning. These are communist countries and they 0:20:36.040 --> 0:20:41.120 are very very interested in spreading their communism globally. And 0:20:41.280 --> 0:20:45.760 they are then, just as they are now, very very 0:20:45.800 --> 0:20:50.320 interested in the continent of Africa. Africa is gigantic, it 0:20:50.400 --> 0:20:54.679 is strategically located. They have all kinds of resources that 0:20:54.840 --> 0:21:00.440 every country wants. The communist nations on the planet want Africa, 0:21:00.840 --> 0:21:05.440 and they want all of it. And they recognize there's 0:21:05.480 --> 0:21:11.360 an opportunity here. We have this country called Rhodesia. Britain 0:21:11.400 --> 0:21:16.520 has cut them off. And there's a crack, isn't there. 0:21:17.280 --> 0:21:21.080 We're ready to discuss that crack. There are all kinds 0:21:21.680 --> 0:21:27.119 of little villages and African reservations, essentially in Rhodesia, some 0:21:27.280 --> 0:21:30.920 black Africans who have not had a standard of living 0:21:30.960 --> 0:21:34.840 equal to the white Europeans. There's enough of a crack 0:21:34.960 --> 0:21:42.919 there that can be exploited. And now terrorism starts. Terrorism 0:21:43.320 --> 0:21:50.960 mainly from Zambia. Zambia. Remember it's that twelve o'clock to 0:21:51.080 --> 0:21:58.040 ten o'clock the northwestern border, that's Zambia. The Soviets and 0:21:58.200 --> 0:22:05.760 the Chinese both form groups African communists, African nationalists, whatever 0:22:05.800 --> 0:22:09.439 word you want to put on it, African groups. And 0:22:09.560 --> 0:22:14.280 they decide they're going to have a go at conquering Rhodesia. 0:22:14.720 --> 0:22:17.639 And they weren't even that subtle about it. The Soviets 0:22:17.680 --> 0:22:23.200 freaking gave them tanks. They would send advisors, Chinese advisors, 0:22:23.520 --> 0:22:27.480 Soviet advisors. How involved are the Soviets in Chinese and 0:22:27.520 --> 0:22:30.160 this will matter for the rest of our story. They 0:22:30.200 --> 0:22:34.119 would take African leaders and they would ship them to 0:22:34.160 --> 0:22:38.480 places like the Soviet Union, like China, like East Germany, 0:22:38.840 --> 0:22:41.560 and they would ship them there for training. And I 0:22:41.640 --> 0:22:45.240 mean in depth training, not just weapons training, not just 0:22:45.359 --> 0:22:51.440 battle tactics. I'm talking about insurgency tactics, communist tactics. How 0:22:51.480 --> 0:22:54.480 do you infect a place? How do you infiltrate a place? 0:22:54.680 --> 0:22:58.600 How do you destroy a place? Training camps for the 0:22:58.680 --> 0:23:03.679 Africans put on by the Soviets and the Chinese, and 0:23:03.720 --> 0:23:07.639 the poor Rhodesians don't even understand what is about to 0:23:07.680 --> 0:23:11.280 come their way, but they do. The night a white 0:23:11.320 --> 0:23:15.520 farmer nineteen sixty six, a white farmer and his wife, 0:23:16.240 --> 0:23:19.400 they are ambushed and slaughtered on their farm. I need 0:23:19.440 --> 0:23:22.679 to set up something here. I already mentioned. Rhodesia is 0:23:22.680 --> 0:23:24.679 a huge country. I mentioned that last night, not so 0:23:24.720 --> 0:23:26.320 much to night. This is a very very big place. 0:23:26.359 --> 0:23:28.879 It's not a small country. And they of course have 0:23:29.040 --> 0:23:34.480 these cities, these urban areas, but as I've said, farming, agriculture. 0:23:34.480 --> 0:23:37.240 It's such a wonderful land for that. It's just made 0:23:37.280 --> 0:23:40.320 for that. It was a huge part of their economy, 0:23:40.440 --> 0:23:42.040 huge part of what they did. And there were these 0:23:42.280 --> 0:23:46.840 huge farms that the Europeans ran and owned, and they 0:23:46.880 --> 0:23:49.760 had of course Africans working on their Black Africans working 0:23:49.800 --> 0:23:53.480 with them things like that. But these farms, as you 0:23:53.520 --> 0:23:55.680 can imagine, you can't put a farm in the middle 0:23:55.680 --> 0:24:01.080 of the city. They are rural, rural farm. They're out there, 0:24:01.160 --> 0:24:04.000 they're in the hinterlands. They're not right next to the 0:24:04.040 --> 0:24:11.040 cop shop. This creates a security nightmare for Rhodesian farmers. 0:24:11.080 --> 0:24:13.040 There will come a day we're not there yet in 0:24:13.080 --> 0:24:18.440 our story where farmers will have twelve foot high security 0:24:18.520 --> 0:24:22.840 fences all around their homes because they were worried their 0:24:22.920 --> 0:24:25.960 kids couldn't go to the yard without a bunch of 0:24:26.000 --> 0:24:29.760 gorillas chopping them up with machetes. That's how dangerous this 0:24:29.880 --> 0:24:32.320 situation is. But they don't know this yet, right because 0:24:32.320 --> 0:24:35.440 the terror hasn't started. Well, the terror just began nineteen 0:24:35.520 --> 0:24:41.679 sixty six, white farmer and his wife butchered, butchered, and 0:24:41.760 --> 0:24:45.440 the Communists in Africa, in the Soviet Union in China, 0:24:46.320 --> 0:24:51.199 they want the terror to increase, and they found I 0:24:51.320 --> 0:24:55.200 was about to say an unlikely ally, but anyone even 0:24:55.400 --> 0:24:59.439 vaguely familiar with our political situation in the United States 0:24:59.440 --> 0:25:03.679 of America will understand it's the most likely ally in 0:25:03.720 --> 0:25:10.320 the world, wouldn't you know it. Young college girls started 0:25:10.359 --> 0:25:14.720 to help the international communists smuggle in weapons they could 0:25:14.840 --> 0:25:19.400 use to commit acts of terror. As I have said 0:25:19.480 --> 0:25:24.600 many times, there is no more vicious, violent communist on 0:25:24.640 --> 0:25:29.080 the planet than the liberal white woman. It's just a fact. 0:25:29.960 --> 0:25:32.719 So we will continue with all this in a moment. 0:25:33.200 --> 0:25:38.040 It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a fantastic Thursday. 0:25:38.200 --> 0:25:41.640 Getting ready to move into Ask doctor Jesse Friday. Get 0:25:41.680 --> 0:25:45.920 your questions emailed into Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. 0:25:45.920 --> 0:25:49.800 Back to our story of the Rhodesian Bush War, terrorist 0:25:49.800 --> 0:25:54.200 attacks have begun. Russia has their own group of African 0:25:54.280 --> 0:26:00.000 nationalists communists. China has their group of African nationalists communists. 0:26:00.359 --> 0:26:03.919 They are receiving training now again. I that's not that 0:26:03.960 --> 0:26:06.800 I'm apologizing, but I'm just gonna drop more details on 0:26:06.880 --> 0:26:10.520 you because the details are actually necessary. Most of the time, 0:26:10.640 --> 0:26:12.960 details kill a story. But you have to understand this, 0:26:14.320 --> 0:26:19.280 two different groups of African nationalists communists. 0:26:19.320 --> 0:26:23.399 Okay, there is Zapu. I'm not gonna go into what 0:26:23.440 --> 0:26:27.959 it stands for. That's a detail, doesn't matter. Zapoo backed 0:26:27.960 --> 0:26:33.919 by the Soviets. Then there's Zanu backed by the Chinese. 0:26:34.200 --> 0:26:36.560 Don't worry about making sure you know who's back by 0:26:36.600 --> 0:26:41.680 who Zapu backed by the Soviets, Zanu backed by the Chinese. 0:26:41.720 --> 0:26:45.560 These organizations, as I said, are being trained by the 0:26:45.600 --> 0:26:50.520 Soviets in the Chinese in infiltration tactics. Rhodesia is not 0:26:50.680 --> 0:26:53.800 fully aware of it yet, but war has already been 0:26:53.800 --> 0:26:57.280 declared on them by the Soviets in the Chinese who 0:26:57.400 --> 0:27:02.520 want to make Rhodesia a communist country, and they start 0:27:03.119 --> 0:27:06.040 by sending rebels over the border. In fact, let me 0:27:06.080 --> 0:27:08.360 give you a summary of how this war is going 0:27:08.440 --> 0:27:10.960 to go. Not to spoil the ending, but you probably 0:27:11.000 --> 0:27:13.119 get it by now. Let me give you a summary 0:27:13.160 --> 0:27:15.480 of how this war is going to go. There aren't 0:27:15.520 --> 0:27:19.600 that many white Europeans in Rhodesia, right, two hundred thousand, 0:27:19.680 --> 0:27:21.840 give or take two hundred thousand of them. It's not 0:27:21.880 --> 0:27:24.440 that big of a military. Twenty thousand again, give or take. 0:27:24.440 --> 0:27:26.719 It's going to depend on the time period twenty thousand. 0:27:26.800 --> 0:27:31.280 In the military, the Communists are going to start setting 0:27:31.359 --> 0:27:34.680 up shop in the countries around Rhodesia, and they're going 0:27:34.720 --> 0:27:39.439 to start making incursions into the country. The military is 0:27:39.480 --> 0:27:42.560 going to fly out and kill this incursion and kill 0:27:42.600 --> 0:27:45.560 that incursion. They find ten guys here and twenty guys 0:27:45.600 --> 0:27:48.560 there and they find this, and they find that. But 0:27:48.880 --> 0:27:53.560 over time, as the world retreats on poor Rhodesia, the 0:27:53.680 --> 0:28:00.760 incursions increase in volume, increase in frequency. You understand, this 0:28:00.800 --> 0:28:03.080 is the very beginning of it. We're in like nineteen 0:28:03.200 --> 0:28:08.320 sixty six here. What's happening now is the Rhodesian military, 0:28:08.440 --> 0:28:12.600 which is elite, absolutely elite. There are a few different 0:28:12.600 --> 0:28:14.640 elements to the military. I want to mention right now. 0:28:15.400 --> 0:28:18.480 They have an air force. Remember when I said South 0:28:18.520 --> 0:28:22.280 Africa and Rhodesia are super tight. About half of the 0:28:22.359 --> 0:28:26.640 Rhodesian air force is actually South African, South African pilots, 0:28:26.680 --> 0:28:29.760
