JB Cambell & Stephen Goodson: Was Ian Smith a traitor to Rhodesia?

(005320.38-:E-003569.93:N-HO:R-SU:C-30:V)   

A supporter mentioned JB Campbell yesterday and the shows I did with him. I will be revisiting all my older videos and putting them in a special place on my website. That’s my goal before the year end. I was very pleased to have the chance to hear JB’s very interesting stories. He had good stuff, and I appreciated it all. He gave a good, direct explanation of what he saw. There is only one area where I totally differ with him, and also with Stephen Goodson of South Africa. That has to do with the notion that Ian Smith was a TRAITOR to the Whites. I could NOT get JB on to a show UNLESS I allowed him to make the claim that Ian Smith was a traitor. It was a trade off I made. I let him say it even though I did not believe it then. Since then I have done a *LOT* of research in different memoirs, and I now understand Ian Smith even better, and I repeat, he was NOT A TRAITOR. Ian Smith’s original belief was that Whites could defeat the Blacks no matter what. I will leave it at that. Another guy who is also cited by Rhodesians as a traitor is Ken Flower the head of the CIO – Central Intelligence Organisation. That is also not true. Ken Flower is even harder to grasp. I will revisit these things in the future. People do not really understand what the White leaders of Rhodesia and also South Africa went through in the decades and they do not realise, exactly, the real situation with regard to the West. I have for example, pointed out, and raised the question about why South Africa, focused so much energy on Angola and that it did not make sense to me. I now have proper answers to all the above questions, with all the relevant quotes and I will explain it as I churn out videos. Dr Peter Hammond of SA who grew up in Rhodesia, also rejected outright that Ian Smith was a traitor. And he was a personal friend of Stephen Goodson. Goodson’s book about Smith is the worst of his books. His other books were good, but I bought all his books and I read the one about Smith. It was pure nonsense.
