The late Ian Smith A white hero from a greater generation

Every Western country  (particularly Britain, America, France, Germany and Italy) has for some time had governments dominated by its nation's enemies.  This is why every one of them is rapidly becoming like a failing, non-European, third-world country.  One sentiment all leaders of these major powers have in common, is a hatred of White European success. 

 Success, courage, ability, ingenuity and morality were to be found in abundance among the White Rhodesians, which is why they were so hated by liberals, Socialists and Internationalists.  Ian Smith who led Rhodesia through its most troubled times died on 20th November 2007, aged 88.   Having seen his once-beloved country ruined and turned into a living hell by Black dictator Robert Mugabe, he chose to retire to South Africa. 

"Smithy", or "good old Smithy" as he was often referred to by his many supporters, had all the attributes of a great British hero.  He excelled at sport, was a devout defender of the British Empire and a wartime fighter pilot. Rugged and determined to fight for what is right, he lived an honest, fair and Christian way of life.

When war broke out in 1939, Ian Smith volunteered for military service in the RAF. He learned to fly in Rhodesia before being sent on active service.  He lost control of his Hurricane fighter plane in Alexandria, while attempting to take off at night.  This crash resulted in multiple serious injuries.  As well as damaging his back, he broke a leg, his shoulder and jaw.  He also lost an eye and needed plastic surgery to rebuild his face, but none of this lessened his confidence or lowered his resolve.  Once he recovered from his injuries he reported for duty at an RAF base in Corsica.   Ian Smith fought gallantly, remaining unscathed until he was shot down by the Luftwafte over Northern Italy in July 1944.  Despite landing in enemy territory, with the help of partisans he managed to avoid detection and doggedly walked over the Alps to reach the allies.

 After bravely fighting with Britain during the Second-World-War, the Rhodesians were soon to find that the British government, together with the UN and their Communist allies were to become a greater threat to Rhodesia, Europeans and the European way of life than the Germans ever could be.

 Every post-war UK government sought to undermine and curtail White British-Christian achievement.  Ridding Britain of its Empire was seen by Parliament as one of its main early post-war tasks.  Rhodesians became uneasy when Conservative Prime Minister, Harold McMillan, made his defeatist " Winds of Change" speech, which implied that Britain, at that time, was so weak and feeble it no longer had the will to defend its Empire.  An amalgamation of left-wing agitators claimed that Ian Smith and his government were not being fair to Black Africans. This claim was untrue, Black Officers were to be found in the army, as well working in jobs such as administration, farming and the police.  In 1962 Black Africans already held around ten per cent of the skilled jobs in Rhodesia, and that percentage was slowly rising  (although it would have been to the White's advantage if the black professional class were growing somewhat faster.)  A new state-of-the-art sports stadium, the most advanced in the country, had been built as a black-only complex. 

 In 1976, Henry Kissinger (left), acting in his usual role as a hit man bully boy for the money power, put pressure on Ian Smith  (right) to surrender to Black rule. The US government had been encouraged in their attempts to wipe out White man's civilization in Africa by a willingness by Ian Smith willingness to make some concessions. This weakening of position had caused despair among a great number of Rhodesians who saw it as a slippery slope. to loss of control.

In 1953, to accommodate the growing call for black rule in Africa, Rhodesia formed an alliance with Nyasaland. The anti-White black nationalist movements were strong in Northern Rhodesia and Nyasaland, and the British government had made it clear that they would grant them independence at some point.   The Rhodesians were promised that when that time came, they too could declare their independence.  After Northern Rhodesia and Nyasaland celebrated gaining home rule, Ian Smith asked the British Conservative government, led by Sir Alec Douglas-Home, to honour the promise of independence.  He refused, and later, so too did Harold Wilson's government.   When government fell to the Conservatives once more, this time under Margaret Thatcher's guidance, the decision was taken to betray the White Rhodesians and hand the country over to known black terrorists.  Many Rhodesians had unwisely placed their trust in Margaret Thatcher, often citing the description she gave of Nelson Mandela's ANC as being "just another terrorist organization"

Now that anti-White socialists have had their way, and most of the Whites have either been killed or departed,  almost any black African will admit that life under white rule, while the country was still Rhodesia, was infinitely better than since living under Robert Mugabe's black, incompetent, corrupt and murderous, Zimbabwe regime.

In his last years Ian Smith grew tired of justifying his actions to left-wing journalists.  Having given his farmland away to a Black farmer who showed a commitment to succeed, the former Rhodesian leader would just say in regard to the destruction of Rhodesia  "I always told you Black majority rule would destroy our beloved country." That line should be engraved on that great man's tombstone, and indelibly in the mind of every White European.  

We will leave the writing of the History of Rhodesia to the brave, ingenious and competent whites who made that great new country what it was, and who were forced to watch its destruction brought about primarily by traitors from within Western governments. We reproduce extracts from an article entitled  "THE Rhodesian Ideal Lives" which was published in the South African Patriot in Exile

 

The founding of Rhodesia took place on the morning of Saturday 13th September 1890 when Lieutenant Tyndale-Biscoe of the Royal Navy hoisted the Union Flag over a previously unclaimed area of land between the Zambezi and Limpopo rivers.  The precise location of this historic act was at the foot of a kopje beside the Makabusi river. This site, where some 200 volunteers of a Pioneer Column and 500 members of a military escort then assembled was to be called Salisbury, after the illustrious Prime Minister of the day, the 3rd Marquis of Salisbury. The name of the new colony which was about to be founded in this previously untamed wilderness was to be Rhodesia, after the great visionary patriot who was the personification of the White man's destiny - Cecil Rhodes.

 On the 30th January 1979 - barely 88 and a half years later - the Rhodesian nation died. During its 88 year history, and in spite of the fact that the white population rarely exceeded a quarter of a million, the Rhodesian people managed to build an advanced, idyllic and self-sufficient Western state.  It became a glowing outpost of civilization in an increasingly disintegrating African continent.

In fact Rhodesia firmly established itself as a vibrant and fully developed entity containing the full infrastructure of a modern state after only a few years of its foundation, and was granted self-governing status within the British Empire as early as 1923.  Rhodesia had in fact actually never been a British colony in the traditional sense, but was founded by Royal Charter as the British South Africa Company.  In a way it was therefore an example of a "privatized colony", and this was probably the main reason for its success.  Certainly the speed and success of the establishment of the Rhodesian nation rank as one of the White man's greatest ever achievements.

Rhodesians readily volunteered to fight during the two world wars - indeed there was a higher percentage of volunteers from Rhodesia than any from any other part of the British Empire.  The pioneer spirit did not stop at the Zambesi moreover, for, shortly after the original planned colony had been established the settlers proceeded northwards to establish Northern Rhodesia.  In spite of the great Rhodesian success story, its history was not entirely without problems - the causes invariably being unthinking mistakes made by the electorate.  In 1922 they voted not to become a fifth province of South Africa.  ( If they had done otherwise the disastrous hegemony of the sellout NP regime in South Africa would probably not have come into being.  )   In 1953 they suicidally voted to join the Central African Federation rather than opt for full independence. 

This decision proved catastrophic, as from the mid-1950s onwards increasingly left-wing Conservative governments and crypto-communist Labour administrations in Britain decided to shed their obligations in Africa and abandon their colonies to incompetent Black rule.  When the stooge Harold Wilson came to power, one of his first priorities was to hand over Rhodesia to the tender mercies of black terrorists - this in spite of the fact that Rhodesia had enjoyed full self-government since 1923. ( At a public meeting in Stevenage,Hertfordshire, Judith Hart, while acting as International Development Officer, in Harold Wilson's government, announced that an extra large payment would be made to Mozambique, (a Soviet-backed country at that time.)  This was at a time when raids on white Rhodesians were being carried out by black terrorists coming across the Mozambique border. Everyone at that public meeting must have been aware that much of the British taxpayer's cash, so generously being donated, would be used to buy arms to attack White Rhodesians.)

Alas, in spite of its best intentions, the Ian Smith government made a number of moves whose effects were to alienate natural supporters overseas.  Firstly, it abolished the monarchy and established a republic.  Then, more significantly, it altered the Rhodesian flag by dropping the Union flag and placing the Rhodesian coat-of-arms in the middle of the Nigerian flag. Nobody has ever been able to explain why.  On the 30th January 1979, for the third time in its history, the Rhodesian electorate made a fatal mistake at a referendum.  This time, however, the issue was far more fundamental, for it entailed the very future existence of the nation.  It must surely be one of the most inexplicable mysteries of all time, but in spite of the fact that the Rhodesian army had never been defeated in the terrorist war, and in spite of the complete failure of international sanctions to affect the economy, the Rhodesian people had voted effectively for voluntary national euthanasia.  Immediately the result was known, the Rhodesian nation died.  "Bishop" Abel Muzerawa took over the reins of power.  The future looked bad, but events took a decided turn for the worse when Abel Muzerawa was ousted and replaced by Robert Mugabe. 

Unfortunately many Rhodesians did not understand the nature of British and US government politics.  In reality our troops were not dispatched to the Falklands merely to protect British citizens.  The US government sought to add the Argentine to its new global empire. The Argentinean dictator was an obstacle to American expansionism, so a plot was devised to have him bring about his own removal.  Rising unemployment and growing national debt were causing loss of support for the Argentine leader.  American government ambassadors suggested that if he were to claim the Falkland Islands for his people he would become a hero.  The tricksters convinced the General by pointing out that Britain had just given away Kenya, Uganda and Rhodesia, implying that Parliament was no longer interested in its colonies.  The Falkland Islands are a special case - for whichever country has land adjacent to the South Pole will receive rights to exploit the region, and Britain is not going to forfeit this right.

General Galtieri made the fatal mistake of trusting Western leaders.  Argentine soldiers were sent to occupy the Falkland Islands, Margaret Thatcher dispatched our troops, resulting in defeat for the Argentineans. General Galtieri was deposed, and immediately the US money power took charge of that once-successful, free and independent country.  As a result the Argentine people soon found themselves struggling with a crippling debt problem. General Galtieri is not the only leader to be tricked into making a fatal advance into alien territory believing it to be for his own country's gain.   Saddam Hussein with( Kuwait) and Adolf Hitler with( Poland)  both fell into the same trap.
