This to me is scary you would need to have eyes in the back of your head to be alert to everyone and everything around you especially when your family could be on the receiving end of such behaviour who could you trust! But they got one of the baddies anyway in the end. Great interview all three parts.

  • @cagefaraday3081
    @cagefaraday3081 Před 3 měsíci

    I'm from US, but I'm drawn to Rhodesian history, I think it holds many useful lessons for today. From all I've studied, not just Rhodesia, but global history, what I've come to believe is Rhodesia was punished, essentially by the British Empire(The City Of London) for daring to seek independence. From a logical stand point, in my view, the USA and the West would've been wiser to fight with Rhodesia instead of fooling around in Vietnam. Rhodesia was a modern country with established infrastructure, sure some social reforms were needed, but that could've been handled peacefully over time instead of what was done. Sadly though at that time America was under the yoke of the City of London and they would not allow that to happen. I wasn't born until 1970 and it was all over and done before I even had ever heard of Rhodesia, but from what I've seen and heard, especially on this channel it must've been an amazing place. What might have been... Shame.

    • @frogfinance4605
      @frogfinance4605 Před měsícem

      The Rhodesia Front attempted reform in 1964. They proposed 10 years of modernization in the Tribal Trust lands, the equivalent of high schools and vocational schools, in order for the blacks to be able to run their parts of the country and the country as a whole without having to rely on the whites for everything, followed by independence. What would become ZAPU agreed to this. Britain said "no, blacks in power now" and Mugabe told ZAPU "if you do this, we will treat you as if you are the whites" so they backed out. And thus, the Bush War began.

    Britain, the US and almost all Western nations knew as soon as old school Rhodesians (whites and tribal elder leaders) lost control, the country would be trashed by savages. But the politics of the 1960s preferred the destruction of the country and people rather than be seen as racist. It’s worse now but live TV keeps the mob a little under control.

    I can't remember exactly when it was maybe in the late 90s but I met a doctor from Zimbabwe in Atlanta. He was of Indian origin. I think he was there for a conference or trying to attend university for higher training, I can't remember. But what I do remember most is that he was dressed in a rather shabby suit and most telling was that he had a hole at the toe of his shoe. I was thinking - "what is going on that a doctor is dressed almost like a hobo with holes in his shoes?" But when he said he was from Zimbabwe I realized what a hell hole it had become where even doctors are poverty-stricken.
