Remember Rhodesia

Is the past our future?  The lesson of Southern Rhodesia.


In 1980, a flourishing, stable, free, democratic republic was murdered and hung out to decay by Great Britain, the United States and the West in the equalitarian name of "anti-racism" and "African-democracy". This civilization was once the proud British colony of Rhodesia. 


On November 11, 1965 Southern Rhodesia, which had experienced the highest casualty count of any of the British colonies in World War II, faced with the terrifying prospect of Negro majority rule, unilaterally declared independence from the British Empire. The Rhodesians were determined to avoid the disaster of a "one man, one vote" Negro majority rule.


Rhodesia had been denied independence because of the politically correct "NIMBAR policy" of Great Britain. This unjust policy was enforced by Prime Minister, Harold Wilson, and utterly discounted the proven success or stability of a colony and instead evaluated its commitment to universal manhood sufferage. NIMBAR stood for "No Independence Before African Rule".


After self-declared independence, Rhodesia faced endless economic sanctions imposed by the United Nations in the utopian aim to topple the new government of Ian Smith. Ian Smith had been an ace pilot for the Royal Air Force in World War II and was the duly elected leader of the Rhodesians. No foreign government, including the United States, recognized the new Rhodesia or welcomed it into the family of free republics. 


But Rhodesia was not defeated. It carried on honorably and successfully until about 1975 when South Africa withdrew its support and Marxist (Negro) terrorists renewed guerrilla war against Rhodesia. When Angola and Mozambique fell to Marxist majority rule, the United States under Secretary of State Henry Kissinger increased its pressure on Rhodesia to accept majority Negro rule. 


In 1980, the freed, Marxist terrorist prisoner, Robert Mugabe, became the President of the Republic of Zimbabwe, once Rhodesia, through African-style "democratic" elections. Under Mugabe's tyrannical and erratic rule Zimbabwe became a culture being murdered one White farm family at a time. The murder weapon being the West's own suicidal, liberal ideology applied to a totally unsuitable Negro racial context.


The lesson from the world's treatment of Rhodesia is this:


Political inclusion of Negroes in a liberal democracy inevitably transforms a society from a promised multi-racial utopia into a barbaric democracy; rule by the long knife. This is now demonstrated in Zimbabwe, a nation in poverty, where Negroes are 98.5 percent of the population.
