A few may wonder why I’m so passionate about my homeland #Rhodesia. What’s it got to do with the here and now. Please bear with me and I’ll explain. 

For we who live in South Africa 

The intentional destruction of a nation is to break the bonds of community and commonality.
A new history is created, people are fractured and scattered, they cower at speaking the Truth.... we become strangers without the common bond of a shared history and community. 

It becomes tiring to tell people the Truth of our history and convince them they've been fed lies..
We’re erased from existence generation by generation.

This is what’s happened and is happening to our #Rhodesia

In case you don’t realise it, this is also what’s happening right NOW in South Africa

This is your history and mine

They entered a land fraught with danger& imminent death. Wild animals, debilitating disease, slavers, tribal war lords, without basic infrastructure.
There were no roads, no reliable agriculture, nothing but their wits, skill &determination to create a nation that was self-funded Image

1. Congo after removal of Mobutu
2. Iran after removal of Shah Reza
3. MENA Countries that embraced Arab Spring
4. Lebanon Civil War
5. Afghanistan
it's very easy to give a call to arms and declare war against the status quo.
We have seen many famous leaders who turned from being promising #revolutionaries into lunatic #populists, and later mutated further into #Anarchists.
Iconoclastic fervour always fails!
Where Iran stood before the ouster of Shah Reza and where it stands today is to be seen by all.
The Iranians were promised a complete social and economic revolution package based on a religious interpretation of problems and methodology by the Clergymen.
Iran turned into a Pariah
