1 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:16,800 Speaker 1: This is a Jesse Kelly show. It is the Jesse 2 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:22,440 Speaker 1: Kelly Show, and wooo indeed it is time to do history. 3 00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,919 Speaker 1: I will be back with more politics in the final hour, 4 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 1: where we're going to talk about the COVID shot information 5 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 1: that's coming out another museum. Heighist, medical schools are horrible, 6 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,919 Speaker 1: people are leaving college. I'll get to emails. All that 7 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,559 Speaker 1: stuff is coming, but it ain't coming right now because 8 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,559 Speaker 1: it is our two and we are smack dab in 9 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:47,200 Speaker 1: the middle of our history on the Rhodesian Bush War. 10 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 1: Again reminding you parts one and part two with all 11 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: kinds of background that was last night and the night before. 12 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 1: You got to go download the podcast if you want that. 13 00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 1: I think you will find it helpful. Not a requirement 14 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 1: at all to understand kind of where we're at now 15 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: where we pick up today, but I think it would 16 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 1: be incredibly helpful. Now, let's talk about the state of Rhodesia. 17 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 1: Let's first talk about voting, shall we. I posed a 18 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 1: question to you last night at the end of our 19 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: little history segment. I pose the question to you about us, 20 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 1: about our country, your country, my country, who should be 21 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 1: able to vote? And I think we agreed last night 22 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: that there should be some restrictions. Right. We may disagree 23 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: on what those restrictions might be. But you don't want 24 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: ten year olds to have a vote, right. You don't 25 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: want felons sitting in the joint getting ready to go 26 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: to the electric chair tomorrow. You don't want them to 27 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: have a vote. 28 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 2: Right. 29 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 1: You don't want illegals to vote to you. Okay, So 30 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: no matter what you agree, there should be some restrictions. Now, 31 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: I'm gonna play you something. I know we're doing history, 32 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna play you something. I played it last hour. 33 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 1: Here's Shri Indiana Jones of Michigan. I am sick of 34 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: your lies. The American people are sick of these lies. 35 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:22,519 Speaker 1: American people demand truth America. Is there do you think 36 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,799 Speaker 1: if we add higher voting standards in this country that 37 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:33,519 Speaker 1: Shri Indiana Jones would be a member of Congress? Play it, Chris, 38 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 1: you know what? Give me a favorite, Chris grab Hank 39 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: Johnson guam ticking tipping over. We haven't played that one 40 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: in ages. It's years and years and years old. I 41 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: think this might be ten years old. The reason I 42 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,079 Speaker 1: bring it up is Hank Johnson just got done calling 43 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 1: America the Great Satan. 44 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 2: We are the world's number one bully, and we're using 45 00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 2: our immits on rifled power two rule over those who 46 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 2: have less power, and we're doing it with impunity. And 47 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 2: this sends a shocking message to the world that America 48 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 2: is indeed the what did what did they used to 49 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 2: call the Great Hand of Satan or something. 50 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 1: That's the same Hank Johnson back in the day who 51 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 1: said this, this. 52 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 3: Is a island that at its widest level is what 53 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 3: twelve miles from shore to shore, and at the smallest 54 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 3: level or smallest location, it's seven miles. 55 00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 4: Between one shore and the other. 56 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 3: Is that correct? I don't have the exact dimensions, but 57 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 3: to your point, sir, I think Guam is a small island. 58 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 4: Yeah. My fear is that the whole island will become 59 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 4: so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize. 60 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 3: We don't anticipate that. 61 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 1: Let me ask you an honest question, funny as that is, 62 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: if we had higher voting standards in this country, do 63 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: you think that person would still be in Congress making 64 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 1: decisions on laws that govern the most powerful country on 65 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: the planet, of course not. Rhodesia was the wealthiest country 66 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 1: in all of Africa, as I mentioned several times, already 67 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: paved roads, won schools, doctors, lawyers, great standard of living. 68 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: You would have thought you were in any modern American city. 69 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: All the rest of Africa, not all of it, but 70 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:13,480 Speaker 1: most of the rest of Africa living in backwards conditions. 71 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: And then there's this jewel in Rhodesia. So who got 72 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: to pick the government of Rhodesia. Well, there were changes 73 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:30,039 Speaker 1: over time, by the way, but in general, you had 74 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: to qualify to vote, and contrary to what all the 75 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,039 Speaker 1: do gooder commis around the world said at the time, 76 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: part of the qualification was not the color of your skin, 77 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: but there were literacy requirements, property qualifications, you had to 78 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: be a subject of the British Empire. There were things, 79 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: and I don't want to get too specific, because they changed. 80 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: You know, pre nineteen sixty one they were more strict 81 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: than Rhodesia trying to roll back things started to ease 82 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: those restrictions. But you know, on the voting rolls, for instance, 83 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,559 Speaker 1: in nineteen sixty one, there were ninety five thousand white 84 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: people who were able to vote and there were twenty 85 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 1: two hundred Black Africans who were able to vote. It 86 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 1: was not barring any skin color, but because the qualifications 87 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: were what they were, because there were standards, a large 88 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:29,359 Speaker 1: percentage of the white Europeans in Rhodesia could vote and 89 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:33,479 Speaker 1: a very small percentage of the Black Africans could vote. 90 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 1: Now that sounds extremely discriminatory, doesn't it. That sounds wrong. 91 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,920 Speaker 1: Surely everybody who reaches the age of eighteen should have 92 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 1: a say in the government, right. And the reason I 93 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: bring this up is it's going to become a central 94 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 1: theme of our story. Rhodesia didn't see it that way. 95 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 1: Rhodesia enjoyed its standard of living, enjoyed the kind of 96 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: country it was. But here's a problem, you see, and 97 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: it's a big problem. You've heard of the Labor government, 98 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: the Labor Party, I should say, of Britain. I've told 99 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: you before, that's their Democrats, that's their Communist Party. Those 100 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: are the ones who run Britain. Now, that's why they're 101 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: massively importing Muslims from all over the planet to form 102 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: rape gangs, to pillage the British women. The Labor Party, 103 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 1: well in the nineteen sixties, there are things going on 104 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: globally that are going to essentially doom Rhodesia in the end, 105 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 1: and one of those things is the Labor Party was 106 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: running things in Britain. Combine that with this, the airfingers 107 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:51,119 Speaker 1: quote civil rights movement globally is really really reaching its peak. 108 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 1: Now why did I say airfingers quote Because the civil 109 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: rights movement surely was only good, right, and I think 110 00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: you would agree with me that, Yeah, it's probably not 111 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: great to have black people eating at different restaurants, and 112 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: that's not a great way to run society. That's not 113 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 1: a just way to run society. The reason I gave 114 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 1: the airfingers quote thing on it was, well, remember what 115 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 1: we talked about last hour. I've spoken before about this 116 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: many times. Let me use the example I've used before 117 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: in Montana in the Rocky Mountains. If you hike through 118 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 1: the Rocky Mountains in an area full of boulders, you 119 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: will inevitably come across one that looks It looks like 120 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:34,319 Speaker 1: God pulled out his sword and sliced it in half. 121 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 1: It's not just broken, it's this clean, smooth break, and 122 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: it's odd looking. We're talking about a boulder the size 123 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:46,680 Speaker 1: of your car sliced in two. Only God didn't use 124 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 1: his sword. You see over time that boulder developed a 125 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 1: little crack, not big, you might not even really see 126 00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 1: it with your eye, a little crack. What happened from there? Water, inevitably, 127 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 1: maybe it's snow melting, maybe it's rain. Water would get 128 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 1: in it, and then one night the temperature would drop 129 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: to such a degree that water would freeze. When water freezes, 130 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: it expands. When it expanded, pop the rock shattered into 131 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:27,199 Speaker 1: This is exactly what communists do in every single society. 132 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 1: They find existing cracks, legitimate cracks, by the way, oftentimes 133 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 1: legitimate cracks. They find the cracks in your society, they 134 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: get inside of that crack and they try to freeze 135 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:47,319 Speaker 1: it to shatter the society. And the global communists most definitely, 136 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 1: the Soviets recognize the civil rights movement, not just in 137 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: America but other places, but the civil rights movement as 138 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: an incredible opportunity for them to shatter the country, and 139 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 1: they got involve They were very focused about being involved 140 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:08,359 Speaker 1: in it. They viewed it as an opportunity to break America, 141 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 1: to break Western civilization. This was going on in many 142 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 1: different countries in the nineteen sixties. Now I already laid 143 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 1: out the government of Rhodesia at the time. How do 144 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 1: you think their government, how do you think that's landing 145 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 1: with the global civil rights do gooders on the planet. 146 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,959 Speaker 1: Let me spoil it for you. It ain't landing well 147 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 1: and Britain decides they want to do something about it. 148 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:44,440 Speaker 1: Uh oh, before we get to that, what do you 149 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 1: carry on you right now?

It is 173 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: the nineteen sixties. The civil rights movement across the globe 174 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: has been invaded and infected by communists doing the best 175 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 1: they can to divide Western society. And of course Britain 176 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 1: has their Communists as well. We have our Democrats. They 177 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 1: have their Labor Party, the Labor government in Britain. They 178 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: don't like the look of Rhodesia right now. Yeah, of 179 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: course it's wealthy, it's prosperous, it's clean, it's wonderful. But 180 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: not everyone gets to vote. In fact, not very many 181 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:02,079 Speaker 1: black Africans get to vote, Lots of white Europeans get 182 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:07,559 Speaker 1: to vote, and so they start pushing. Remember at this point, 183 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 1: Rhodesia is a British colony. I cannot stress that enough, 184 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: a British colony, meaning they are under the British crown. 185 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 1: Britain says, uh, how about one man, one vote, everyone 186 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 1: gets to vote. Well, the government, the people of Rhodesia, 187 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 1: they understandably said, excuse me, look around at Africa. Do 188 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 1: you have any idea what's going to happen if we 189 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 1: allow everybody to have a vote with no property requirements 190 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 1: and no nothing of it. Do you understand what will 191 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: happen here? The whole place will be over all this prosperity. 192 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 1: The communists didn't want to hear it. One man, one vote, 193 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 1: one man, one vote, over and over and over and 194 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:54,839 Speaker 1: over again. Now Rhodesia has to make a choice. And 195 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,559 Speaker 1: keep in mind that I'm really skipping over some boring 196 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 1: political negotiation. But Rhodesia's government they were trying as hard 197 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 1: as they could to do whatever they had to do 198 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 1: to work with Britain, so they didn't have to do 199 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 1: well what they're about to do. Meaning in nineteen sixty one, 200 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,439 Speaker 1: they even changed how they do the voting. They didn't 201 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 1: change it completely, but they opened it up a little 202 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 1: bit more, kind of introduced tiars to it. You could 203 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 1: be in the A tier. The beat again. Their work. 204 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: They're trying to massage the situation without giving up their country. 205 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 1: Britain did not want to hear it. The Communists in 206 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 1: Britain did not want to hear it, and they said, no, 207 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 1: you will do this, and so Rhodesia they rebelled. There's 208 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 1: no other way to put it. In nineteen sixty five, 209 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 1: rhodesha said, yeah, we're not a British colony anymore. Now 210 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 1: we're ours, We're Rhodesia, we're independent and this is how 211 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 1: we're going to run things. Now. Now pause for a second. 212 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: You have probably heard of the SAS before, the Special 213 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 1: Air Service. If you have not, you should know that 214 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 1: that is the British version of the Navy Seals. And 215 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 1: in fact they came about really because of the British 216 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 1: fighting in Northern Africa. They were the guys parachuting behind 217 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 1: enemy lines doing all kinds of you know, special operations stuff. 218 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 1: They are to this day, bad to the bone, bad dudes. 219 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 1: The British sas well up to this point. Remember we're 220 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 1: in the sixties. Rhodesia's military they would work hand in 221 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 1: hand with Britain's military because again it's a British colony, 222 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 1: and Rhodesia had an SAS as well that trained with 223 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 1: the British sas. Super super bad dudes, you get what 224 00:15:52,760 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 1: I'm saying. Rhodesia declares independence in nineteen sixty five, is 225 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: so angry about this, they actually consider a military response 226 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 1: to the open rebellion of the Rhodesian country of the 227 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: Rhodesian government, and they approached the British sas and start 228 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 1: talking to them about it. The British sas had such 229 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 1: a level of respect for the Rhodesians they had trained 230 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 1: with and worked with, the British government essentially faced a 231 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 1: mutiny from within their own high level sas. The guys 232 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 1: weren't going to go Na, I'm good, I'm not. You 233 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 1: want me to attack Rhodesia. Nah, Now you got to 234 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 1: do something. If you're the British government, right, you can't 235 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 1: let open rebellion go, especially these white racists in Rhodesia. 236 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 1: And again, I want to remind you of something I 237 00:16:56,240 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 1: reminded you of last night. Over half half of the 238 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:05,440 Speaker 1: Rhodesian army was Black Africans. This is not a white 239 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,880 Speaker 1: versus black thing. How it was sold to the planet. 240 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 1: Black Africans died with their European brothers in this war. 241 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 1: Europeans would give their lives to save Black Africans in 242 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 1: this war. This wasn't some Nazi that's not at all 243 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 1: how it was. Yes, there were fewer black voters, no 244 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 1: question about it. It was not a white versus black thing. Anyway, 245 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 1: Britain has to do something. So they essentially get the world, 246 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 1: that really most of the civilized world, to sanction Rhodesia. 247 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 1: This is a country that is landlocked. Keep in mind 248 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 1: they have no access to water, anything like that. Britain 249 00:17:54,359 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 1: slaps sanctions strict ones on Rhodesia. Now this would normally 250 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 1: be about the end of any landlocked country, but Rhodesia, 251 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 1: to their credit, they had a couple friends and those 252 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:14,160 Speaker 1: friends happen to be neighbors. We'll talk about those friends 253 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 1: some combat things in a moment. Before we talk about friends, 254 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:23,399 Speaker 1: I want to talk to you about babies. It is 255 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 1: the Christmas season. I want you to picture this. What 256 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:31,639 Speaker 1: if you gave a card to somebody you love and 257 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,680 Speaker 1: you let them know in that card that you gave 258 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 1: twenty eight dollars to preborn in their name. You can 259 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 1: do that. You know, you can give to preborn in 260 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,400 Speaker 1: someone's name, or even in honor of someone, maybe someone 261 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 1: you lost this year last year. That twenty eight dollars 262 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 1: will buy an ultrasound for a woman who's about to 263 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 1: abort her baby. Women who get ultrasounds choose life almost 264 00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:01,200 Speaker 1: every time. Preborn is giving them out. Is there anything 265 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,360 Speaker 1: more blessed you can do this Christmas season than save 266 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 1: the life of a baby. And oh, you can write 267 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,399 Speaker 1: it off. It's tax deductible. You can give them as 268 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,200 Speaker 1: much as you want. We've had people give them fifty 269 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,679 Speaker 1: grand before. As much as they want. It's tax deductible. 270 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 1: Preborn dot com slash Jesse is where you give save 271 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:24,919 Speaker 1: the life of a baby this Christmas season.

Let's get back to the story here. 277 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 1: Nineteen sixty five, Rhodija declares it's independence. Britain is upset. 278 00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 1: To put it mildly, they get the rest of the world, 279 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 1: and they themselves slap crippling sanctions on Rhodesia, or I 280 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:09,679 Speaker 1: should say what should be crippling sanctions on Rhodesia. But 281 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:14,159 Speaker 1: Rhodesia has a couple of friends. Now we need to 282 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 1: do something that I did with you the first night, 283 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,360 Speaker 1: but we're probably going to do this a couple more 284 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,959 Speaker 1: times because you have to visualize this. You don't have 285 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,920 Speaker 1: to look at a map. You can, but I want 286 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:25,680 Speaker 1: you to draw a circle in your mind, or maybe 287 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: you can draw one if you're a visual person. I 288 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 1: want you to make this a clock. Okay, so it's 289 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 1: a clock. Now. From twelve o'clock to six o'clock, that's 290 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 1: obviously half the clock. There is a country known as Mozambique, 291 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:49,640 Speaker 1: all right, Mozambique. From twelve o'clock over to let's call 292 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:54,400 Speaker 1: it ten o'clock, there is a country known as Zambia. 293 00:20:54,680 --> 00:21:00,440 Speaker 1: All right. From six o'clock to about eight o'clock there 294 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 1: is South Africa. Why am I doing this slame clock 295 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 1: thing because it matters so much for our story. South Africa. 296 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:14,120 Speaker 1: We will begin there. South Africa and Rhodesia are as 297 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 1: tight as tight can get. There are so many South 298 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 1: Africans in Rhodesia. They love each other, they work together, 299 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 1: they have similar forms. They are best, best, best freaking friends. 300 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 1: As far as countries go. South Africa is a friend. 301 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:38,160 Speaker 1: When these sanctions get slapped on Rhodesia, South Africa steps 302 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,879 Speaker 1: up and says, hey, we got you, sell us your stuff. 303 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,440 Speaker 1: We'll continue to trade with each other. South Africa also 304 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 1: has and this will definitely matter for our story throughout 305 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 1: our story. They have that wonderful, wonderful liquid gold known 306 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:59,120 Speaker 1: as oil. They keep Rhodesia's well supplied with oil. They 307 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 1: have a friend. Now, let's go to Mozambique. Remember the 308 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 1: twelve o'clock to six o'clock, big, big border with Rhodesia. 309 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 1: They're also friendly because Mozambique at this point, and this 310 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 1: will change. Spoiler alert, this is going to change. Mozambique 311 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 1: is run by the Portuguese, all right, the Portuguese Rhodesia. 312 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 1: They get along. They are still working with each other, trading. 313 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 1: Zambia the country in the northwest. Forget about them. We 314 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: are going to get to them. They're going to be 315 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 1: featured here shortly. But Rhodesia has friends. What's the result 316 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:42,199 Speaker 1: of this. They declare independence. All these sanctions they're supposed 317 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 1: to be bankrupted, Rhodesia's flourishing, flourishing. They win independent and 318 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:56,679 Speaker 1: they're getting along really, really well. Now we have to 319 00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 1: go globally again because this will matter for the rest 320 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 1: of our story. Communists, it's a religion of destruction and domination. 321 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:10,399 Speaker 1: As we've talked about so many times before, communism was 322 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:15,399 Speaker 1: never supposed to be about any one country. Communism was 323 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 1: always designed, always pushed as being a global thing. At 324 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:25,359 Speaker 1: this point in history, the Soviet Union is Chernin and 325 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 1: burning China, Chernin and burnin. These are communist countries and 326 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:36,439 Speaker 1: they are very very interested in spreading their communism globally. 327 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:41,400 Speaker 1: And they are then, just as they are now, very 328 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:46,119 Speaker 1: very interested in the continent of Africa. Africa is gigantic, 329 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:50,680 Speaker 1: it is strategically located. They have all kinds of resources 330 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:55,160 Speaker 1: that every country wants. The communist nations on the planet 331 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 1: want Africa, and they want all of it. And they 332 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 1: recognize eyes there's an opportunity here. We have this country 333 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 1: called Rhodesia. Britain has cut them off, and there's a crack, 334 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 1: isn't there. We're ready to discuss that crack. There are 335 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:22,880 Speaker 1: all kinds of little villages and African reservations, essentially in Rhodesia, 336 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 1: some black Africans who have not had a standard of 337 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 1: living equal to the white Europeans. There's enough of a 338 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:37,440 Speaker 1: crack there that can be exploited. And now terrorism starts. 339 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 1: Terrorism mainly from Zambia. Zambia. Remember it's that twelve o'clock 340 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:53,440 Speaker 1: to ten o'clock the northwestern border, that's Zambia. The Soviets 341 00:24:54,160 --> 00:25:01,760 Speaker 1: and the Chinese both form groups African con munist, African nationalists, 342 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 1: whatever word you want to put on it, African groups, 343 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,880 Speaker 1: and they decide they're going to have a go at 344 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:13,159 Speaker 1: conquering Rhodesia. And they weren't even that subtle about it. 345 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 1: The Soviets freaking gave them tanks. They would send advisors, 346 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 1: Chinese advisors, Soviet advisors. How involved are the Soviets in 347 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 1: Chinese and this will matter for the rest of our story. 348 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:30,440 Speaker 1: They would take African leaders and they would ship them 349 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 1: to places like the Soviet Union, like China, like East Germany, 350 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 1: and they would ship them there for training. And I 351 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 1: mean in depth training, not just weapons training, not just 352 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 1: battle tactics. I'm talking about insurgency tactics, communist tactics. How 353 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 1: do you infect a place, how do you infiltrate a place? 354 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:55,120 Speaker 1: How do you destroy a place? Training camps for the 355 00:25:55,240 --> 00:26:00,239 Speaker 1: Africans put on by the Soviets and the Chinese, and 356 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:04,199 Speaker 1: the poor Rhodesians don't even understand what is about to 357 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 1: come their way, but they do. The night, a white farmer, 358 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 1: it's nineteen sixty six, a white farmer and his wife, 359 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 1: they are ambushed and slaughtered on their farm. I need 360 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 1: to set up something here. I already mentioned. Rhodesia is 361 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 1: a huge country. I mentioned that last night, not so 362 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,120 Speaker 1: much night. This is a very very big place. It's 363 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,440 Speaker 1: not a small country. And they of course have these cities, 364 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 1: these urban areas. But as I've said, farming, agriculture, it's 365 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,920 Speaker 1: such a wonderful land for that. It is just made 366 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 1: for that. It was a huge part of their economy, 367 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 1: huge part of what they did. And there were these 368 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 1: huge farms that the Europeans ran and owned, and they had, 369 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 1: of course Africans working on their Black Africans working with them, 370 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 1: things like that. But these farms, as you can imagine, 371 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 1: you can't put a farm in the middle of the city. 372 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 1: They are rural, rural farms. They're out there, they're in 373 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 1: the hinterlands, right next to the cop shop. This creates 374 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 1: a security nightmare for Rhodesian farmers. There will come a 375 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 1: day we're not there yet in our story where farmers 376 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 1: will have twelve foot high security fences all around their 377 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 1: homes because they were worried their kids couldn't go to 378 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:24,199 Speaker 1: the yard without a bunch of guerrillas chopping them up 379 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: with machetes. That's how dangerous this situation is. But they 380 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 1: don't know this yet, right because the terror hasn't started. Well, 381 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 1: the terror just began nineteen sixty six, white farmer and 382 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 1: his wife butchered, butchered, and the Communists in Africa, in 383 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:44,720 Speaker 1: the Soviet Union in China, they want the terror to increase, 384 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:50,359 Speaker 1: and they found I was about to say an unlikely ally, 385 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 1: but anyone even vaguely familiar with our political situation in 386 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 1: the United States of America will understand it's the most 387 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 1: likely the ally in the world. Wouldn't you know it, 388 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 1: Young college girls started to help the international communists smuggle 389 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 1: in weapons they could use to commit acts of terror. 390 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:19,200 Speaker 1: As I have said many times, there is no more vicious, 391 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 1: violent communist on the planet than the liberal white woman. 392 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:28,880 Speaker 1: It's just a fact. So we will continue with all 393 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 1: this in a moment. Before we continue with any of that, 394 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:36,199 Speaker 1: let us make sure we understand. I mean, how do 395 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 1: you live long if you can avoid a plane crash 396 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 1: or a car crash or whatever. Well, work out and 397 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 1: eat good. Right, that's it. Not that I do it, 398 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 1: do it as much as I can, but work out 399 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 1: and eat good. Your dog needs the same program. You 400 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 1: know that now most of us take our dogs for 401 00:28:56,280 --> 00:29:01,719 Speaker 1: a walk, but the nutrition part badly. We fail our dogs. 402 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 1: That's why our dogs in America die at ten years old. 403 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:09,719 Speaker 1: They eat dogfood. Why do you think all dogfood is brown? 404 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 1: It's dead. They cooked all the nutrition out of it. 405 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 1: It's dead. There's nothing in it. They have to spray 406 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 1: it down with craps or your dog or we even 407 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 1: eat it. Did you know that roughgreens is alive?

Back 417 00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 1: to our story of the Rhodesian bush War, terrorist attacks 418 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 1: have begun. Russia has their own group of African nationalists communists. 419 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 1: China has their group of African Nationalists communists. They are 420 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 1: receiving training now. Again, it's not that I'm apologizing, but 421 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,880 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna drop more details on you because the 422 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 1: details are actually necessary. Most of the time, details kill 423 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:34,680 Speaker 1: a story. But you have to understand this. Two different 424 00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:41,520 Speaker 1: groups of African nationalists communists. Okay, there is Zapu. I'm 425 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 1: not gonna go into what it stands for. That's a detail, 426 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Zapoo backed by the Soviets. Then there's Zanu 427 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 1: backed by the Chinese. Don't worry about making sure you 428 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 1: know who's back by who. Zapu backed by the Soviets, 429 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 1: Zanu backed by the Chinese. These organizations, as I said, 430 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:06,560 Speaker 1: are being trained by the Soviets in the Chinese in 431 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 1: infiltration tactics. Rhodesia is not fully aware of it yet, 432 00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:14,240 Speaker 1: but war has already been declared on them by the 433 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 1: Soviets in the Chinese, who want to make Rhodesia a 434 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:24,320 Speaker 1: communist country, and they start by sending rebels over the border. 435 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,320 Speaker 1: In fact, let me give you a summary of how 436 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,240 Speaker 1: this war is going to go. Not to spoil the ending, 437 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:31,520 Speaker 1: but you probably get it by now. Let me give 438 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:33,440 Speaker 1: you a summary of how this war is going to go. 439 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,959 Speaker 1: There aren't that many white Europeans in Rhodesia, right, two 440 00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 1: hundred thousand, give or take two hundred thousand of them. 441 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:42,960 Speaker 1: It's not that big of a military. Twenty thousand again 442 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:44,560 Speaker 1: give or take. It's going to depend on the time 443 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 1: period twenty thousand. In the military, the Communists are going 444 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:53,040 Speaker 1: to start setting up shop in the countries around Rhodesia, 445 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 1: and they're going to start making incursions into the country. 446 00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 1: The military is going to fly out and kill this 447 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 1: incursion and kill that incursion. They find ten guys here 448 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,280 Speaker 1: and twenty guys there, and they find this, and they 449 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 1: find that. But over time, as the world retreats on 450 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 1: poor Rhodesia, the incursions increase in volume, increase in frequency. 451 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:21,520 Speaker 1: You understand, this is the very beginning of it. We're 452 00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 1: in like nineteen sixty six here. What's happening now is 453 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 1: the Rhodesian military, which is elite, absolutely elite. There are 454 00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:33,200 Speaker 1: a few different elements to the military. I want to 455 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:37,040 Speaker 1: mention right now. They have an air force. Remember when 456 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:40,920 Speaker 1: I said South Africa and Rhodesia are super tight. About 457 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:44,200 Speaker 1: half of the Rhodesian air Force is actually South Africa, 458 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 1: South African pilots, South African planes. That's how tight they are. 459 00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:50,680 Speaker 1: That will matter later on. So there's an air force. 460 00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:55,600 Speaker 1: They have the Rhodesian Light Infantry. Again, I want to 461 00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,840 Speaker 1: stress over half of the Rhodesian Light Infantry were Black Africans. 462 00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:02,120 Speaker 1: This is not a white versus blaar. The Rhodesian Light 463 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:09,120 Speaker 1: Infantry amazing troops, amazing troops again, outdoor people, rugged people, 464 00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,560 Speaker 1: mandatory military service. They were amazing troops. And then there 465 00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:18,280 Speaker 1: were actually two different kind of special Operations Forces, special 466 00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 1: Green Berets, Navy seals. Okay, there were the Rhodesian sas 467 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:27,280 Speaker 1: I already mentioned them earlier, bad dudes. And then there 468 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:31,040 Speaker 1: is another group super super cool called the cell Us 469 00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,120 Speaker 1: Scouts or Seleuse Scouts. I've heard it pronounced a thousand 470 00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 1: different ways as I was doing my research for the show. 471 00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:41,280 Speaker 1: These are all excellent units, top tier units. They are 472 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:46,560 Speaker 1: having no problem hunting down and wiping out these rebels 473 00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:50,480 Speaker 1: right now because there simply aren't enough of them. You 474 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,480 Speaker 1: should know, the first group of rebels who came across 475 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,120 Speaker 1: the border was not a big group, got hunted down 476 00:33:56,160 --> 00:34:01,680 Speaker 1: and annihilated almost immediately. They get located, it down annihilated. 477 00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:05,720 Speaker 1: The air force is used, helicopters are used to they 478 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,919 Speaker 1: have to stay mobile because there aren't enough of them 479 00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:12,000 Speaker 1: to just be stationed all over the country. They have 480 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,600 Speaker 1: to put them in various spots and then be ready 481 00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:17,160 Speaker 1: to hop on a plane, hop on a helicopter, and 482 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,880 Speaker 1: get where you're going. The use of parachutes and helicopters 483 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:24,719 Speaker 1: is something that will last throughout this war. All right, 484 00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,439 Speaker 1: group comes in, gets wiped out, group comes in, gets 485 00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:33,960 Speaker 1: wiped out. The Communists, though they're starting to get smarter 486 00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 1: as they fail. What they had initially tried to do was, 487 00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:43,760 Speaker 1: as I mentioned, terrorist tactics. Hey, let's butcher a farmer 488 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,600 Speaker 1: in the family, let's throw a let's throw a bomb 489 00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:50,239 Speaker 1: in an ice cream shopt just basic what you would 490 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:54,480 Speaker 1: kind of recognize today as more Ghati terror tactics. But 491 00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:59,360 Speaker 1: the Rhodesian military, the Rhodesian intelligence service was so good 492 00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:05,000 Speaker 1: the these tactics weren't working that great. They wanted the 493 00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:09,160 Speaker 1: Kamis needed more power, and so they started to do something. 494 00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:16,720 Speaker 1: They started to set up secret camps inside of the country, 495 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:22,200 Speaker 1: inside Rhodesia. Remember it's a huge place, so you don't 496 00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:26,200 Speaker 1: just send in ten idiots from Zambia. You try to 497 00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:30,920 Speaker 1: set up camps inside. Now, we were about to get 498 00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,200 Speaker 1: to a point where it's going to get very difficult 499 00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:36,319 Speaker 1: on the Rhodesians. But they're definitely winning right now. And 500 00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:40,000 Speaker 1: a huge part of why they're winning is these Kami 501 00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:44,400 Speaker 1: terrorists are coming from Zambia, virtually all of them from Zambia, 502 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:48,640 Speaker 1: because Zambia is the one that's not a friend. Well, 503 00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:51,759 Speaker 1: the border between Zambia and Rhodesia is a big river. 504 00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:56,759 Speaker 1: Rivers help provide security because they're hard to cross. They're 505 00:35:56,760 --> 00:36:01,680 Speaker 1: hard to cross unknown, that's for sure. The understand if 506 00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:05,839 Speaker 1: they simply keep this river monitored, keep your patrols up there, 507 00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:10,120 Speaker 1: you should be able to locate and snuff out all 508 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:14,480 Speaker 1: the COMMI terrorists, either as they're coming or shortly after 509 00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,799 Speaker 1: they come. You hunt them down, you snuff them out. 510 00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:21,640 Speaker 1: And I mentioned earlier the sell Us Scouts Seluse Scouts. 511 00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:23,239 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna call the sell Us Scouts. I went 512 00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:28,120 Speaker 1: to community college. They did so much cool stuff. One 513 00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,680 Speaker 1: of the things they were so good at the SAS two. 514 00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:35,600 Speaker 1: But it was tracking. It's wild when you read the books, 515 00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:39,239 Speaker 1: how these guys would track. They'd be out there in 516 00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:42,640 Speaker 1: the bush and they'd come across sign that terrorist groups 517 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,799 Speaker 1: had come, and they would just start hunting them like 518 00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:49,400 Speaker 1: they were animals for a day, two days, three days, 519 00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:54,480 Speaker 1: following the tracks like like bloodhounds, and then they'd finally 520 00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,000 Speaker 1: find them. You make a phone call, you bring in 521 00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,399 Speaker 1: the troops, you kill them all, you find them, make 522 00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:01,680 Speaker 1: a phone call. I'll bring in the troops, kill them all. 523 00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:03,600 Speaker 1: And I know we're about to be done with our story. 524 00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:08,799 Speaker 1: I'm going to get back to politics. Sometimes wounded terrorists 525 00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:12,960 Speaker 1: trying to get back to Zambia would be eaten by 526 00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:17,320 Speaker 1: crocodiles in the rivers. One guy I read a story 527 00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:25,440 Speaker 1: about he was wounded, got hunted down by a lion wild. 528 00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:30,400 Speaker 1: What's happening? But tomorrow something will happen that will spell 529 00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:34,799 Speaker 1: eventually disaster for the Rhodesians. That's gonna have to wait 530 00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:39,839 Speaker 1: till tomorrow, or wait Monday, Chris, Monday, not Tuesday. No, 531 00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:42,399 Speaker 1: we're not making them wait till tuesday. That's not right. No, 532 00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:46,080 Speaker 1: No tomorrow or Monday. We'll do it Monday, all right. 533 00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:49,520 Speaker 1: Our story continues on Monday. Back to politics next
