WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:05.599 It is the Jesse Kelly Show in Woo Hoo. Indeed, 2 00:00:05.839 --> 00:00:07.400 it is time. 3 00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:10.839 To do history. I will be back with more politics 4 00:00:10.919 --> 00:00:13.119 in the final hour, where we're going to talk about 5 00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:17.480 the COVID shot information that's coming out another museum. Heighst 6 00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:20.800 medical schools are horrible, people are leaving college. I'll get 7 00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:23.440 to emails. All that stuff is coming, but it ain't 8 00:00:23.480 --> 00:00:27.679 coming right now because it is our two and we 9 00:00:27.719 --> 00:00:31.480 are smack dab in the middle of our history on 10 00:00:31.559 --> 00:00:35.320 the Rhodesian Bush War. Again reminding you parts one and 11 00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:39.320 part two with all kinds of background that was last 12 00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:41.880 night in the night before. You gotta go download the 13 00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:44.280 podcast if you want that. I think you will find 14 00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:48.399 it helpful. Not a requirement at all to understand kind 15 00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:50.359 of where we're at now where we pick up today, 16 00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:56.679 but I think it would be incredibly helpful. Now, let's 17 00:00:56.679 --> 00:01:02.759 talk about the state of Rhodesia. Let's first talk about voting, 18 00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:06.480 shall we. I posed a question to you last night 19 00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:10.000 at the end of our little history segment. I posed 20 00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:13.280 a question to you about us, about our country, your country, 21 00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:19.000 my country, Who should be able to vote? And I 22 00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:23.879 think we agreed last night that there should be some restrictions. Right. 23 00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:27.719 We may disagree on what those restrictions might be. But 24 00:01:28.599 --> 00:01:30.760 you don't want ten year olds to have a vote, right. 25 00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:35.680 You don't want felons sitting in the joint getting ready 26 00:01:35.719 --> 00:01:37.680 to go to the electric chair tomorrow. You don't want 27 00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:42.000 them to have a vote. Right. You don't want illegals 28 00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:45.159 to vote to you. Okay, So no matter what you agree, 29 00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:49.200 there should be some restrictions. Now, I'm going to play 30 00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:51.560 you something. I know we're doing history, but I'm going 31 00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:55.760 to play you something I played at last hour. Here's 32 00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:58.480 Shri Indiana Jones of Michigan. 33 00:01:58.599 --> 00:02:01.120 I am sick of your lives. The American people are 34 00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:01.879 sick of this lies. 35 00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:08.599 American people demand truth. America is there? Do you think 36 00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:13.879 if we add higher voting standards in this country that 37 00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:19.599 Sri Indiana Jones would be a member of Congress? Play Chris, 38 00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:23.639 you know what? Give me a favorite, Chris grab Hank 39 00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:29.039 Johnson Guam tipping over. We haven't played that one in ages. 40 00:02:29.159 --> 00:02:31.719 It's years and years and years old. I think this 41 00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:34.240 might be ten years old. The reason I bring it 42 00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:37.960 up is Hank Johnson just got done calling America the 43 00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:38.719 great Satan. 44 00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:43.039 We are the world's number one bully, and we're using 45 00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:53.840 our immense, unrifled power to rule over those who have 46 00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:58.560 less power, and we're doing it with impunity. And this 47 00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:03.520 sends a shot message to the world that America is 48 00:03:03.639 --> 00:03:08.800 indeed the what did what did they used to call 49 00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:11.879 it the Great Hand of Satan or something. 50 00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:16.759 That's the same Hank Johnson back in the day who 51 00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:17.919 said this, this. 52 00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:25.919 Is a island that at its widest level is what 53 00:03:26.199 --> 00:03:31.199 twelve miles from shore to shore, and at its smallest 54 00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:44.879 level or smallest location, it's seven miles between one shore 55 00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:48.759 and the other. Is that correct? I don't have the 56 00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:53.000 exact dimensions, but to your point, sir, I think Guam 57 00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:57.800 is a small island. Yeah. My fear is that the 58 00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:04.719 whole island will become so overly populated that it will 59 00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:10.560 tip over and capsize. 60 00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:15.759 We don't anticipate that. Let me ask you an honest question, 61 00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:22.560 funny as that is, if we had higher voting standards 62 00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:26.279 in this country, do you think that person would still 63 00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:30.800 be in Congress making decisions on laws that govern the 64 00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:36.480 most powerful country on the planet, of course not. Rhodesia 65 00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:42.199 was the wealthiest country in all of Africa. As I 66 00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:48.240 mentioned several times already paved roads, wonderful schools, doctors, lawyers, 67 00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:50.600 great standard of living. You would have thought you were 68 00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:54.720 in any modern American city. All the rest of Africa, 69 00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:56.519 not all of it, but most of the rest of 70 00:04:56.560 --> 00:05:00.600 Africa living in backwards conditions and men and there's this 71 00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:07.680 jewel in Rhodesia. So who got to pick the government 72 00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:12.879 of Rhodesia. Well, there were changes over time, by the way, 73 00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:19.040 but in general you had to qualify to vote, and 74 00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:23.000 contrary to what all the do gooder commis around the 75 00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:25.879 world said at the time, part of the qualification was 76 00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:30.360 not the color of your skin, but there were literacy requirements, 77 00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:35.560 property qualifications, you had to be a subject of the 78 00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:38.160 British Empire. There were things, and I don't want to 79 00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:41.399 get too specific, because they changed. You know, pre nineteen 80 00:05:41.439 --> 00:05:44.879 sixty one they were more strict than Rhodesia. Trying to 81 00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:49.560 try to roll back some things started to ease those restrictions. 82 00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:52.319 But you know, on the voting rolls, for instance, in 83 00:05:52.399 --> 00:05:56.040 nineteen sixty one there were ninety five thousand white people 84 00:05:56.120 --> 00:05:58.800 who were able to vote and there were twenty two 85 00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:01.399 hundred black apps Fricans who were able to vote. It 86 00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:06.680 was not barring any skin color, but because the qualifications 87 00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:11.160 were what they were, because there were standards, a large 88 00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:15.480 percentage of the white Europeans in Rhodesia could vote and 89 00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:19.639 a very small percentage of the Black Africans could vote. 90 00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:26.040 Now that sounds extremely discriminatory, doesn't it. That sounds wrong. 91 00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:30.000 Surely everybody who reaches the age of eighteen should have 92 00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:33.360 a say in the government, right. And the reason I 93 00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:35.360 bring this up is it's going to become a central 94 00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:38.800 theme of our story. Rhodesia didn't see it that way. 95 00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:43.120 Rhodesia enjoyed its standard of living, enjoyed the kind of 96 00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:46.920 country it was. But here's a problem, you see, and 97 00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:51.279 it's a big problem. You've heard of the Labor government, 98 00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:55.879 the Labor Party, I should say, of Britain. I've told 99 00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:58.720 you before, that's their Democrats, that's their Communist Party. Those 100 00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:01.519 are the ones who run Britain. Now, that's why they're 101 00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:05.319 massively importing Muslims from all over the planet to form 102 00:07:05.399 --> 00:07:08.879 rape gangs, to pillage the British women. The Labor Party, 103 00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:12.800 well in the nineteen sixties, there are things going on 104 00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:18.439 globally that are going to essentially doom Rhodesia in the end, 105 00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:22.680 and one of those things is the Labor Party was 106 00:07:22.839 --> 00:07:30.439 running things in Britain. Combine that with this, the airfingers 107 00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:37.240 quote civil rights movement globally is really really reaching its peak. 108 00:07:37.319 --> 00:07:40.360 Now why did I say airfingers quote Because the civil 109 00:07:40.439 --> 00:07:43.560 rights movement surely was only good, right, and I think 110 00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:46.000 you would agree with me that, Yeah, it's probably not 111 00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:49.240 great to have black people eating at different restaurants, and 112 00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:51.720 that's not a great way to run society. That's not 113 00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:54.879 a just way to run society. The reason I gave 114 00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:58.600 the airfingers quote thing on it was, well, remember what 115 00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:02.319 we talked about last hour. I've spoken before about this 116 00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:04.839 many times. Let me use the example I've used before 117 00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:08.920 in Montana in the Rocky Mountains. If you hike through 118 00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:12.040 the Rocky Mountains in an area full of boulders, you 119 00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:16.279 will inevitably come across one that looks It looks like 120 00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:20.439 God pulled out his sword and sliced it in half. 121 00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:25.879 It's not just broken, it's this clean, smooth break. It's 122 00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:28.240 odd looking. We're talking about a boulder the size of 123 00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:33.480 your car sliced in two. Only God didn't use his sword. 124 00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:39.759 You see, over time that boulder developed a little crack, 125 00:08:40.120 --> 00:08:42.279 not big, you might not even really see it with 126 00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:47.919 your eye, a little crack. What happened from there? Water, inevitably, 127 00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:51.200 maybe it's snow melting, maybe it's rain. Water would get 128 00:08:51.240 --> 00:08:55.120 in it, and then one night the temperature would drop 129 00:08:55.240 --> 00:08:59.000 to such a degree that water would freeze. When water 130 00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:05.320 freezes its spans, when it expanded, pop the rock shattered 131 00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:13.279 into This is exactly what communists do in every single society. 132 00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:18.919 They find existing cracks, legitimate cracks, by the way, oftentimes 133 00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:23.919 legitimate cracks. They find the cracks in your society, They 134 00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:27.639 get inside of that crack and they try to freeze 135 00:09:27.679 --> 00:09:33.399 it to shatter the society. And the global communists most definitely, 136 00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:36.919 the Soviets recognize the civil rights movement, not just in 137 00:09:36.960 --> 00:09:40.159 America but other places, but the civil rights movement as 138 00:09:40.279 --> 00:09:45.399 an incredible opportunity for them to shatter the country, and 139 00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:48.360 they got involved in it. They were very focused about 140 00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:52.080 being involved in it. They viewed it as an opportunity 141 00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:58.919 to break America, to break Western civilization. This was going 142 00:09:58.960 --> 00:10:03.159 on in many different countries in the nineteen sixties. Now 143 00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:06.600 I already laid out the government of Rhodesia at the time. 144 00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:11.399 How do you think their government, how do you think 145 00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:15.879 that's landing with the global civil rights do gooders on 146 00:10:15.960 --> 00:10:19.240 the planet. Let me spoil it for you. It ain't 147 00:10:19.320 --> 00:10:24.200 landing well and Britain decides they want to do something 148 00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:24.679 about it. 149 00:10:25.799 --> 00:10:25.960 Uh. 150 00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:31.320 Oh, it is the Jesse Kelly Show on a magnificent 151 00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:36.200 magnificent Thursday. Do not forget tomorrow's ask doctor Jesse Friday. 152 00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:38.440 You need to email your questions. They don't have to 153 00:10:38.440 --> 00:10:41.759 be political, doesn't matter what it is, history, food, whatever. 154 00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:46.279 Email them into Jesse at jessekellyshow dot com. It is 155 00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:50.240 the nineteen sixties. The civil rights movement across the globe 156 00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:53.960 has been invaded and infected by communists doing the best 157 00:10:53.960 --> 00:10:57.919 they can to divide Western society. And of course Britain 158 00:10:57.919 --> 00:11:01.440 has their Communists as well have our Democrats. They have 159 00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:07.519 their Labor Party, the Labor government in Britain. They don't 160 00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:11.399 like the look of Rhodesia right now. Yeah, of course 161 00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:18.039 it's wealthy, it's prosperous, it's clean, it's wonderful. But not 162 00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:22.399 everyone gets to vote. In fact, not very many Black 163 00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:26.639 Africans get to vote. Lots of white Europeans get to vote, 164 00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:32.440 and so they start pushing. Remember at this point, Rhodesia 165 00:11:32.919 --> 00:11:36.559 is a British colony. I cannot stress that enough. A 166 00:11:36.679 --> 00:11:43.039 British colony, meaning they are under the British crown. Britain says, uh, 167 00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:47.559 how about one man, one vote, everyone gets to vote. Well, 168 00:11:47.639 --> 00:11:52.480 the government, the people of Rhodesia, they understandably said, excuse me, 169 00:11:53.159 --> 00:11:55.960 look around at Africa. Do you have any idea what's 170 00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:58.679 going to happen if we allow everybody to have a 171 00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:01.679 vote with no property requirements and know nothing of it. 172 00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:04.399 Do you understand what will happen here? The whole place 173 00:12:04.440 --> 00:12:08.120 will be over all this prosperity. The communists didn't want 174 00:12:08.159 --> 00:12:10.840 to hear it. One man, one vote, one man, one vote, 175 00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:16.679 over and over and over and over again. Now Rhodesha 176 00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:19.799 has to make a choice. And keep in mind that 177 00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:25.440 I'm really skipping over some boring political negotiations. But Rhodesia's 178 00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:29.720 government they were trying as hard as they could to 179 00:12:29.879 --> 00:12:33.240 do whatever they had to do to work with Britain, 180 00:12:34.159 --> 00:12:36.720 so they didn't have to do well what they're about 181 00:12:36.759 --> 00:12:40.639 to do, meaning in nineteen sixty one they even changed 182 00:12:40.799 --> 00:12:43.600 how they do the voting. They didn't change it completely, 183 00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:46.600 but they opened it up a little bit more, kind 184 00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:49.879 of introduced tiers to it. You could be in the 185 00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:53.159 A tier. The beat again their work. They're trying to 186 00:12:53.240 --> 00:12:58.159 massage the situation without giving up their country. Britain did 187 00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:01.320 not want to hear it. Communists in Britain did not 188 00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:04.159 want to hear it, and they said, no, you will 189 00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:11.000 do this, and so Rhodesia they rebelled. There's no other 190 00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:15.399 way to put it. In nineteen sixty five, rhodesha said, yeah, 191 00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:20.120 we're not a British colony anymore. Now we're ours, We're Rhodesia, 192 00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:23.279 we're independent and this is how we're going to run things. Now. 193 00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:28.279 Now pause for a second. You have probably heard of 194 00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:33.200 the SAS before, the Special Air Service. If you have not, 195 00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:37.720 you should know that that is the British version of 196 00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:41.399 the Navy Seals, and in fact they came about really 197 00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:44.960 because of the British fighting in Northern Africa. They were 198 00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:47.759 the guys parachuting behind enemy lines doing all kinds of 199 00:13:47.759 --> 00:13:50.879 you know, special operations stuff. They are to this day, 200 00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:55.799 bad to the bone, bad dudes. The British SAS well. 201 00:13:56.360 --> 00:14:01.679 Up to this point, remember we're in the sixties Jijia's military. 202 00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:05.639 They would work hand in hand with Britain's military because 203 00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:10.960 again it's a British colony, and Rhodesia had an SAS 204 00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:15.919 as well that trained with the British sas. Super super 205 00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:21.559 bad dudes. You get what I'm saying. Rhodesia declares independence 206 00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:27.360 in nineteen sixty five. Britain is so angry about this, 207 00:14:27.919 --> 00:14:33.799 they actually consider a military response to the open rebellion 208 00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:38.039 of the Rhodesian country of the Rhodesian government, and they 209 00:14:38.080 --> 00:14:43.200 approached the British sas and start talking to them about it. 210 00:14:44.080 --> 00:14:49.519 The British SAS had such a level of respect for 211 00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:53.480 the Rhodesians they had trained with and worked with, the 212 00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:58.279 British government essentially faced a mutiny from within their own 213 00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:02.399 high level sas. The guys weren't going to go, Nah, 214 00:15:02.600 --> 00:15:06.919 I'm good, I'm not. You want me to attack Rhodesia. Nah, 215 00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:11.720 Now you got to do something. If you're the British government, right, 216 00:15:12.879 --> 00:15:18.039 you can't let open rebellion go, especially these white racists 217 00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:20.039 in Rhodesia. And again, I want to remind you of 218 00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:24.559 something I reminded you of last night. Over half of 219 00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:29.320 the Rhodesian army was Black Africans. This is not a 220 00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:33.120 white versus black thing. How it was sold to the planet. 221 00:15:34.120 --> 00:15:39.080 Black Africans died with their European brothers in this war. 222 00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:43.240 Europeans would give their lives to save Black Africans in 223 00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:47.519 this war. This wasn't some Naxi that's not at all. 224 00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:51.080 How it was. Yes, there were fewer black voters, no 225 00:15:51.279 --> 00:15:56.759 question about it. It was not a white versus black thing. Anyway, 226 00:15:58.200 --> 00:16:04.600 Britain has to do something. So they essentially get the world, 227 00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:11.159 that really most of the civilized world, to sanction Rhodesia. 228 00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:13.799 This is a country that is landlocked. Keep in mind 229 00:16:13.799 --> 00:16:18.240 they have no access to water, anything like that. Britain 230 00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:25.039 slaps sanctions strict ones on Rhodesia. Now, this would normally 231 00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:30.039 be about the end of any landlocked country, but Rhodesia, 232 00:16:31.240 --> 00:16:35.039 to their credit, they had a couple friends and those 233 00:16:35.039 --> 00:16:38.360 friends happen to be neighbors. We'll talk about those friends 234 00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:42.600 some combat things in a moment. It is the Jesse 235 00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:48.080 Kelly Show on a fantastic, fantastic Thursday. Remember to send 236 00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:51.080 in your ask Doctor Jesse questions for tomorrow. Remember you 237 00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:54.720 can download the show iheard Spotify iTunes. Let's get back 238 00:16:54.759 --> 00:16:59.879 to the story here. Nineteen sixty five, Rhodesha declares it's independence. 239 00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:04.440 Britain is upset, to put it mildly, they get the 240 00:17:04.440 --> 00:17:08.799 rest of the world and they themselves slap crippling sanctions 241 00:17:08.839 --> 00:17:12.319 on Rhodesia, or I should say what should be crippling 242 00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:17.279 sanctions on Rhodesia. But Rhodesia has a couple of friends. 243 00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:19.960 Now we need to do something that I did with 244 00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:22.359 you the first night, but we're probably going to do 245 00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:25.079 this a couple more times because you have to visualize this. 246 00:17:25.200 --> 00:17:26.920 You don't have to look at a map. You can, 247 00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:30.079 but I want you to draw a circle in your mind, 248 00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:32.200 or maybe you can draw one if you're a visual person. 249 00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:35.319 I want you to make this a clock. Okay, so 250 00:17:35.400 --> 00:17:41.200 it's a clock. Now from twelve o'clock to six o'clock. 251 00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:45.279 That's obviously half the clock. There is a country known 252 00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:52.519 as Mozambique, all right, Mozambique. From twelve o'clock over to 253 00:17:53.799 --> 00:17:57.279 let's call it ten o'clock, there is a country known 254 00:17:57.359 --> 00:18:03.839 as Zambia. All right. From six o'clock to about eight 255 00:18:03.880 --> 00:18:07.119 o'clock there is South Africa. Why am I doing this 256 00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:10.720 slame clock thing? Because it matters so much for our 257 00:18:10.759 --> 00:18:16.720 story South Africa. We will begin there. South Africa and 258 00:18:16.880 --> 00:18:22.160 Rhodesia are as tight as tight can get. There are 259 00:18:22.200 --> 00:18:26.119 so many South Africans in Rhodesia. They love each other, 260 00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:31.200 they work together, they have similar forms of They our best, best, 261 00:18:31.559 --> 00:18:35.920 best freaking friends. As far as countries go. South Africa 262 00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:40.720 is a friend. When these sanctions get slapped on Rhodesia, 263 00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:44.599 South Africa steps up and says, hey, we got you, 264 00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:48.200 sell us your stuff. We'll continue to trade with each other. 265 00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:52.160 South Africa also has and this will definitely matter for 266 00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:56.599 our story throughout our story. They have that wonderful, wonderful 267 00:18:56.720 --> 00:19:03.039 liquid gold known as oil. Keep Rhodesia's well supplied with oil. 268 00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:07.440 They have a friend. Now, let's go to Mozambique. Remember 269 00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:12.319 the twelve o'clock to six o'clock, big, big border with Rhodesia. 270 00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:17.480 They're also friendly because Mozambique at this point, and this 271 00:19:17.519 --> 00:19:21.440 will change. Spoiler alert, this is going to change. Mozambique 272 00:19:21.480 --> 00:19:26.480 is run by the Portuguese, all right, the Portuguese Rhodesia. 273 00:19:26.880 --> 00:19:31.200 They get along. They are still working with each other, trading. 274 00:19:32.519 --> 00:19:35.759 Zambia the country in the northwest forget about them. We 275 00:19:35.799 --> 00:19:37.200 are going to get to them. They're going to be 276 00:19:37.240 --> 00:19:42.160 featured here shortly. But Rhodesha has friends. What's the result 277 00:19:42.240 --> 00:19:46.319 of this, They declare independence. All these sanctions they're supposed 278 00:19:46.319 --> 00:19:53.720 to be bankrupted, Rhodesia's flourishing, flourishing. They went independent and 279 00:19:53.759 --> 00:20:00.720 they're getting along really, really well. Now we have to 280 00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:04.319 go globally again, because this will matter for the rest 281 00:20:04.319 --> 00:20:10.039 of our story. Communists, it's a religion of destruction and domination. 282 00:20:10.200 --> 00:20:14.440 As we've talked about so many times before, communism was 283 00:20:14.599 --> 00:20:19.400 never supposed to be about any one country. Communism was 284 00:20:19.559 --> 00:20:25.799 always designed, always pushed as being a global thing. At 285 00:20:25.799 --> 00:20:29.720 this point in history, the Soviet Union is chernin and burning, 286 00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:36.000 China chernin and burning. These are communist countries and they 287 00:20:36.039 --> 00:20:41.119 are very very interested in spreading their communism globally. And 288 00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:45.759 they are then, just as they are now, very very 289 00:20:45.799 --> 00:20:50.319 interested in the continent of Africa. Africa is gigantic, it 290 00:20:50.400 --> 00:20:54.680 is strategically located. They have all kinds of resources that 291 00:20:54.839 --> 00:21:00.440 every country wants. The communist nations on the planet want Africa, 292 00:21:00.839 --> 00:21:05.440 and they want all of it. And they recognize there's 293 00:21:05.480 --> 00:21:11.359 an opportunity here. We have this country called Rhodesia. Britain 294 00:21:11.400 --> 00:21:16.519 has cut them off. And there's a crack, isn't there. 295 00:21:17.279 --> 00:21:21.079 We're ready to discuss that crack. There are all kinds 296 00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:27.119 of little villages and African reservations, essentially in Rhodesia, some 297 00:21:27.279 --> 00:21:30.920 black Africans who have not had a standard of living 298 00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:34.839 equal to the white Europeans. There's enough of a crack 299 00:21:34.960 --> 00:21:42.920 there that can be exploited. And now terrorism starts. Terrorism 300 00:21:43.319 --> 00:21:50.960 mainly from Zambia. Zambia. Remember it's that twelve o'clock to 301 00:21:51.079 --> 00:21:58.039 ten o'clock the northwestern border, that's Zambia. The Soviets and 302 00:21:58.200 --> 00:22:05.759 the Chinese both form groups African communists, African nationalists, whatever 303 00:22:05.799 --> 00:22:09.440 word you want to put on it, African groups, and 304 00:22:09.559 --> 00:22:14.279 they decide they're going to have a go at conquering Rhodesia. 305 00:22:14.720 --> 00:22:17.640 And they weren't even that subtle about it. The Soviets 306 00:22:17.680 --> 00:22:23.200 freaking gave them tanks. They would send advisors, Chinese advisors, 307 00:22:23.519 --> 00:22:27.480 Soviet advisors. How involved are the Soviets in Chinese and 308 00:22:27.519 --> 00:22:30.160 this will matter for the rest of our story. They 309 00:22:30.200 --> 00:22:34.119 would take African leaders and they would ship them to 310 00:22:34.160 --> 00:22:38.480 places like the Soviet Union, like China, like East Germany, 311 00:22:38.839 --> 00:22:41.559 and they would ship them there for training. And I 312 00:22:41.640 --> 00:22:45.240 mean in depth training, not just weapons training, not just 313 00:22:45.359 --> 00:22:51.440 battle tactics. I'm talking about insurgency tactics, communist tactics. How 314 00:22:51.480 --> 00:22:54.480 do you infect a place, how do you infiltrate a place? 315 00:22:54.680 --> 00:22:58.599 How do you destroy a place? Training camps for the 316 00:22:58.680 --> 00:23:03.680 Africans put on by the Soviets and the Chinese, and 317 00:23:03.720 --> 00:23:07.640 the poor Rhodesians don't even understand what is about to 318 00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:11.279 come their way, but they do. The night a white 319 00:23:11.319 --> 00:23:15.519 farmer nineteen sixty six, a white farmer and his wife, 320 00:23:16.240 --> 00:23:19.400 they are ambushed and slaughtered on their farm. I need 321 00:23:19.440 --> 00:23:22.680 to set up something here. I already mentioned. Rhodesia is 322 00:23:22.680 --> 00:23:24.680 a huge country. I mentioned that last night, not so 323 00:23:24.720 --> 00:23:26.319 much to night. This is a very very big place. 324 00:23:26.359 --> 00:23:28.880 It's not a small country. And they of course have 325 00:23:29.039 --> 00:23:34.480 these cities, these urban areas, but as I've said, farming, agriculture. 326 00:23:34.480 --> 00:23:37.240 It's such a wonderful land for that. It's just made 327 00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:40.319 for that. It was a huge part of their economy, 328 00:23:40.440 --> 00:23:42.039 huge part of what they did. And there were these 329 00:23:42.279 --> 00:23:46.839 huge farms that the Europeans ran and owned, and they 330 00:23:46.880 --> 00:23:49.759 had of course Africans working on their Black Africans working 331 00:23:49.799 --> 00:23:53.480 with them, things like that. But these farms, as you 332 00:23:53.519 --> 00:23:55.680 can imagine, you can't put a farm in the middle 333 00:23:55.680 --> 00:24:01.079 of the city. They are rural, rural farm. They're out there, 334 00:24:01.160 --> 00:24:04.000 they're in the hinterlands. They're not right next to the 335 00:24:04.039 --> 00:24:11.039 cop shop. This creates a security nightmare for Rhodesian farmers. 336 00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:13.039 There will come a day we're not there yet in 337 00:24:13.079 --> 00:24:18.440 our story where farmers will have twelve foot high security 338 00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:22.839 fences all around their homes because they were worried their 339 00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:25.960 kids couldn't go to the yard without a bunch of 340 00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:29.759 gorillas chopping them up with machetes. That's how dangerous this 341 00:24:29.880 --> 00:24:32.319 situation is. But they don't know this yet, right because 342 00:24:32.319 --> 00:24:35.440 the terror hasn't started. Well, the terror just began nineteen 343 00:24:35.519 --> 00:24:41.680 sixty six, white farmer and his wife butchered, butchered, and 344 00:24:41.759 --> 00:24:45.440 the Communists in Africa, in the Soviet Union in China, 345 00:24:46.319 --> 00:24:51.200 they want the terror to increase, and they found I 346 00:24:51.319 --> 00:24:55.200 was about to say an unlikely ally, but anyone even 347 00:24:55.400 --> 00:24:59.440 vaguely familiar with our political situation in the United States 348 00:24:59.440 --> 00:25:03.680 of America will understand it's the most likely ally in 349 00:25:03.720 --> 00:25:10.319 the world, wouldn't you know it? Young college girls started 350 00:25:10.359 --> 00:25:14.720 to help the international communists smuggle in weapons they could 351 00:25:14.839 --> 00:25:19.400 use to commit acts of terror. As I have said 352 00:25:19.480 --> 00:25:24.599 many times, there is no more vicious, violent communist on 353 00:25:24.640 --> 00:25:29.079 the planet than the liberal white woman. It's just a fact. 354 00:25:29.960 --> 00:25:32.720 So we will continue with all this in a moment. 355 00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:38.039 It is the Jesse Kelly Show on a fantastic Thursday. 356 00:25:38.200 --> 00:25:41.640 Getting ready to move into Ask doctor Jesse Friday. Get 357 00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:45.920 your questions emailed into Jesse at Jesse kellyshow dot com. 358 00:25:45.920 --> 00:25:49.799 Back to our story of the Rhodesian bush War, terrorist 359 00:25:49.799 --> 00:25:54.200 attacks have begun. Russia has their own group of African 360 00:25:54.279 --> 00:26:00.000 nationalists communists. China has their group of African Nationalists communists. 361 00:26:00.359 --> 00:26:02.039 They are receiving training. 362 00:26:01.720 --> 00:26:05.079 Now again, I that's not that I'm apologizing, but I'm 363 00:26:05.160 --> 00:26:08.799 just gonna drop more details on you because the details 364 00:26:08.880 --> 00:26:11.759 are actually necessary. Most of the time, details kill a story. 365 00:26:11.799 --> 00:26:17.000 But you have to understand this, two different groups of 366 00:26:17.119 --> 00:26:23.039 African nationalists communists. Okay, there is Zapu. I'm not gonna 367 00:26:23.039 --> 00:26:25.160 go into what it stands for. That's a detail, doesn't matter. 368 00:26:26.079 --> 00:26:33.160 Zapoo backed by the Soviets. Then there's Zanu backed by 369 00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:36.200 the Chinese. Don't worry about making sure you know Who's 370 00:26:36.200 --> 00:26:39.839 back by who, Zapu backed by the Soviets, Zanu backed 371 00:26:39.839 --> 00:26:44.759 by the Chinese. These organizations, as I said, are being 372 00:26:44.839 --> 00:26:49.119 trained by the Soviets in the Chinese in infiltration tactics. 373 00:26:49.519 --> 00:26:52.880 Rhodesia is not fully aware of it yet, but war 374 00:26:52.960 --> 00:26:56.039 has already been declared on them by the Soviets in 375 00:26:56.119 --> 00:27:00.640 the Chinese, who want to make Rhodesia a communist country, 376 00:27:01.480 --> 00:27:05.720 and they start by sending rebels over the border. In fact, 377 00:27:05.839 --> 00:27:07.880 let me give you a summary of how this war 378 00:27:08.000 --> 00:27:10.359 is going to go. Not to spoil the ending, but 379 00:27:10.400 --> 00:27:12.599 you probably get it by now. Let me give you 380 00:27:12.640 --> 00:27:14.440 a summary of how this war is going to go. 381 00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:18.960 There aren't that many white Europeans in Rhodesia, right, two 382 00:27:19.039 --> 00:27:21.359 hundred thousand, give or take two hundred thousand of them. 383 00:27:21.559 --> 00:27:23.960 It's not that big of a military. Twenty thousand again, 384 00:27:23.960 --> 00:27:25.519 give or take. It's going to depend on the time 385 00:27:25.559 --> 00:27:30.480 period twenty thousand. In the military, the Communists are going 386 00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:34.039 to start setting up shop in the countries around Rhodesia, 387 00:27:34.079 --> 00:27:37.519 and they're going to start making incursions into the country. 388 00:27:38.400 --> 00:27:41.519 The military is going to fly out and kill this 389 00:27:41.640 --> 00:27:44.640 incursion and kill that incursion. They find ten guys here 390 00:27:44.759 --> 00:27:47.160 and twenty guys there, and they find this, and they 391 00:27:47.200 --> 00:27:51.759 find that. But over time, as the world retreats on 392 00:27:51.880 --> 00:27:58.920 poor Rhodesia, the incursions increase in volume, increase in frequency. 393 00:27:59.039 --> 00:28:02.319 You understand, this is the very beginning of it. We're 394 00:28:02.319 --> 00:28:06.640 in like nineteen sixty six here. What's happening now is 395 00:28:06.720 --> 00:28:11.960 the Rhodesian military, which is elite, absolutely elite. There are 396 00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:13.960 a few different elements to the military. I want to 397 00:28:13.960 --> 00:28:17.799 mention right now. They have an air force. Remember when 398 00:28:17.799 --> 00:28:21.640 I said South Africa and Rhodesia are super tight. About 399 00:28:21.759 --> 00:28:25.039 half of the Rhodesian Air Force is actually South African, 400 00:28:25.480 --> 00:28:29.359 South African pilots, South African planes. That's how tight they are. 401 00:28:29.440 --> 00:28:31.400
