Yes, we watched from across the Caribbean sea. And we all loved and supported Maurice Bishop. We all rooted for Grenada. I was a teenager, studying at the Social Science Faculty of the Cave Hill Campus of the University of the West Indies when he was assassinated. We felt his death as a great loss to us all. A intelligent man who cared for his people. If he had made it, there would have been a chance for us all to break the yoke of imperialism that still restrains us to this day. We are independent in name only.
Don Rojas is lying, his reason for the take over of the country is bogus, Bishops was never democratically elected, bishops lied about gary leaving instructions to arrest members of the new jewel movement, those are all lies, you need to provide proof of this , not rum shop talk , that’s the reason his own men killed him , you mr Rojas needs to stop lying that’s why you cannot write a memoir, it has to be the truth, with facts to back what you write.
The Real News Network please as a young man born and grow here i'm close friends with a few elders in my neighborhood who's familiar with that time in life including my dad would love for you to shine more light on this topic please because there's alot that needs to be told
As a Grenadian who was part of the training and mobile system. However I migrated to Trinidad and Tobago three months before the rovulation. I always bought into his philosophy of socioeconomically development plan which I had participated in before migrating. Today I feel just as motivated to carry on his legacy, knowing the benefits it provides for real freedom for the entire region of Africa, and beyond. Caribbean leaders miss a great opportunity to raise the quality and stand of life in the region. But it's never too late to act. Bishop will always remain alive for all those who lives he impacted impacted. He was a great soul, may his soul continue influence our directions as a nation 💗🙏.
My PM bought change to Grenada although America did not like PM, until them set up board and Austin to assisinate our PM. Even in this world today AMERICA is the ones who is setting up all brutality. Once you not abiding with what them want you to do, they will pay your own people $$$$$$$ to get ride of you.
What we all have to learn from this interviews is to recognize how the Imperialiat and their intelligence agancies work... By infiltrating traitors into honest movements they have been able to succeed so far...
With keen interest I intently listed to every word in anticipation of the Reagan invasion. An iconic interview of an extremely disappointing angering historic event with US Republican influence glossed over. Once again the perhaps wise yet subtle brush skipping the intrigues and debauchery of Reagan operatives was anticlimatic. Never the less thank you with gratitude for this informative interview. Possibly you'd consider an in depth sequel inclusive of Reagan's political exploitation of Granada and it's usefulness to divert attention. If only our heroic leaders would be left to fully blossom!
Wrong... Cuba was and has been always prtected by the CIA and the USA. They have all this years made us believe Castro was an enemy when in fact he was always part of the CIA weapons against its own people.
Interesting interview, but there are inaccuracies and speculation. I am/was no Gairyite, but as a teacher of history, factual-based discussion is paramount. Filling in the blanks is okay but make it clear that what you're doing is reasonable speculation.
@@DKing-sc3nt Nonsense, the founders of Zionist Israel hatched their plan with the help of Great Britain whom trained the racist nationalists just 150 years ago. The Zionist openly state their mission is to eradicate Palestinians from their own land. Netanyahu his far right cabinet and the head of the IDF have all physically stated similar intent. We are witnessing their final solution - extermination of a subjugated indigenous people occupied in their own land with no human rights. Hamas used to justify genocide.
Grenada_Island_Dreamz!!!! Aye what are you'll prime ministers doing about Caribbean islands or nation maybe countries!!! I have ideas about a private tours of all islands.
Both of you Don and Fletcher.i think you should try to get a hold of the frank Solomon (from Trinidad )interview of George louison , and also the interview of Hudson Austin by i think George worm. Waste of time sooling at selein and others who are still trying to make themselves look good
What become of the 🇯🇲couple COARD?last time I remember they both served time 🤭✔👌long live MAURICE BISHOP ALONGSIDE MICHAEL MANLEY TRUE COMRADE 👊👊👊🔊🇯🇲🇬🇧
My uncle was the only one killed during that invasion from the US the US army night stalkers are the ones that liberated the students and rescued the rest
But thé président of the US private medical college (criticized as diploma mill) publicly stated that they were safe & in no danger. But the empire had benefit & reason to lie.

That's true
So true
this was the moment that open my eyes to America meddling with the struggle of our people .still going today.

A much needed and informative interview. Thank you for it.
Whoa! This is a very detailed history of a story I have barely ever heard of! Thank you all for sharing this!

As a Trinidadian, Maurice is a hero

Thank you, for this long discussion on the untold history of this period.
Good Thursday evening gentleman, am watching from Brooklyn NY and is enjoying this interview and the information.
I remember crying on my way to junior college as an 18 year old hearing about the US invasion by Ray gun. The first non covert invasion since Vietnam.
Long live Maurice Bishop & The New Jewel Movement
At least once a year I go down a rabbit hole trying to learn as much as possible about Grenada. This was amazing.
Thanks

A small island is no challenge to bullies w/o or backed by a strong military force. Cuba was protected by Russia.
Wrong... Cuba was and has been always prtected by the CIA and the USA. They have all this years made us believe Castro was an enemy when in fact he was always part of the CIA weapons against its own people.
I finally get why we are sooo anti Cuba!!! 😢😢😢
I learned something new!
The new non aligned movement is being formed 💪🏽💪🏽
This is why Austin lived a miserable left there after .
Very interesting.
One of the first Caribbean island to developing!!!! Envy men that struggle to lead!!! Times up!!!!
I remembered that day when brother bishop father was murdered by gairys men .
I reside in america 29years!!!! Proud citizen travel 1/2022 to 4/2022 i was told to go back where i cam from!!!!! Born in grenada!!!!
Yes it was on the 7th
Ahh, thx you for reminding us about this history
And the Beasts' machinations up north wasn't even mentioned?
I remember the host interviewing Noam Chomsky on the Russo-Ukrainian War in 2022.
Interesting interview, but there are inaccuracies and speculation. I am/was no Gairyite, but as a teacher of history, factual-based discussion is paramount. Filling in the blanks is okay but make it clear that what you're doing is reasonable speculation.

Why are you calling for genocide ?
@@DKing-sc3ntAnd why are you acknowledging Zionist genocide since 1948?? Hypocrisy has invaded your logic?
It is already happening, from Tel Aviv gov, armed forces & armed land robbers.

Cubans fled like crazy. Ask Cubans how that model worked out.
Once again ...envy!!! greed !!! And cant think only using what they stole!!!!
He made grenada what it is!!!! He is amazing man!!! You people have lost great for common 😆😆😆😆
That's lie with your host Cuba army was in Grenada at that time under cover that help them .
Get your facts straight Mr Bishops got killed in 1974 and Grenada got independent in 1974 not 76
Why are youll always telling people they were born to suffer!!!! What is the point of this ("blessing") what is the meaning of ("bleassing")?
My uncle was the only one killed during that invasion from the US the US army night stalkers are the ones that liberated the students and rescued the rest
But thé président of the US private medical college (criticized as diploma mill) publicly stated that they were safe & in no danger. But the empire had benefit & reason to lie.
USA did not like liberate any students, that was just a pretext for invasion
