[@user-qx6kn4zp6f]

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

[@JB-vb6dh]

Whoa! This is a very detailed history of a story I have barely ever heard of! Thank you all for sharing this!

[@mandyharewood886]

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.

[@arthurlangaine2957]

That's true

[@Marius_vanderLubbe]

A much needed and informative interview. Thank you for it.

[@arthurlangaine2957]

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.

[@GuitarJimBourke]

Thank you, for this long discussion on the untold history of this period.

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 💗🙏.

As a Trinidadian, Maurice is a hero

A small island is no challenge to bullies w/o or backed by a strong military force. Cuba was protected by Russia.

[@DistanteInstante]

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.

[@DistanteInstante]

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...

[@Vbluevital]

Absolutely

[@Pete_Tong]

The new non aligned movement is being formed 💪🏽💪🏽

[@VivaCatatumbo973]

Thankyou!!

[@ren17x50]

I learned something new!

[@Vbluevital]

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!

[@lescottcharles8237]

Correction. Grenada's independence was seventh February 1974 Mr. Rojas ..

[@de2296]

Ahh, thx you for reminding us about this history

[@hollyisalwayshopeful2688]

[@sheldonscott4037]

[@DKing-sc3nt]

Why are you calling for genocide ?

[@zelenskythegaynazi8680]

​@@DKing-sc3ntAnd why are you acknowledging Zionist genocide since 1948?? Hypocrisy has invaded your logic?

[@samaval9920]

It is already happening, from Tel Aviv gov, armed forces & armed land robbers.

[@Vbluevital]

​@@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.

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

[@samaval9920]

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.

[@cecilbrathwaite4733]

USA did not like liberate any students, that was just a pretext for invasion

[@carlylegabriel5459]

U are speaking nonsense boy.
