Rhodesia

the name of this tribe of quote unquote right one you might know them as atlantis people like anglo-saxon unity atlantic solidarity uh something of this sort the way i suggest for this project if we are giving name let's give it a name for a man who in my opinion at least as far as i know maybe you will challenge my uh view on this today kind of stood at its exception is Stephen Rhodes.

So I would call them Rhodesian knights or Rhodesian imperialists, etc.

So it's a very particular idea of empire which emerged in the late 18th century.

So this project of New Atlantis actually lasted for a while.

And I don't need to give you memos how to do.

You will do it naturally.

And that's this principle of governance, which I think Rhodesian evil geniusly, but quite geniusly introduced.

It's a very efficient model.

fexinidazole is an oral, two-substituted, and five-nitroimidazole prodrug that is metabolized into an active sulfoxide and sulfone derivatives that crosses the blood-brain barrier.

In 2019, fexinidazole was approved for Gambian C-hat, and in 2024, WHO extended its indication as a first-line treatment for Rhodesian C-hat as well.

That's awesome.

So what is the exact dosing schedule and mandatory administration rules for fexonidazole that emergency clinicians and nurses need to know?

He was born in Amsterdam in 1901, so he's not born South African.

He grew up in, in Rhodesia, the old Rhodesia, and he did his, his matric there, and he was the number one student there in his class.

Um, and from there he came then to... went to Stellenbosch, where he studied all his degrees he received from the University of Stellenbosch, primarily in psychology, which is actually an interesting fact that it is not about politics or history or...

And then he went for two years, and that is in the middle 1920s, 1924 to 1926, to Germany.

The hopes of a Cecil Rhodes and a Harry Johnston that through East Africa there might be built an all-British Cape-to-Cairo railway are now in a fair way to be realized.

British East Africa now includes Kenya, colony and protectorate, and Uganda, protectorate, and perhaps we might add the Tanganyika Territory under British mandate, a solid block connecting Anglo-Egyptian Sudan on the north with Nyasaland and Rhodesia on the south.

In area, British East Africa, six hundred and eighty-eight thousand square miles, is two-fifths larger than British West Africa and seven times as large as the mother country.

But commerce measures the success of imperialism, and the total trade of British East Africa in 1923 was only ninety-two million dollars, as compared with two hundred and thirty-one for British West Africa.

Slowly the settlement grew, and its cattle began to fatten not in peace, as had been promised, but in constant danger of native raids, until at length the chartered company sent troops to conquer Lobengula and take his cattle.

Like the man who admitted the camel's foot into his tent, Lobengula found himself driven out, though his sons were magnanimously educated at the expense of Rhodes.

What had been Lobengula's kingdom became Rhodesia.

About the international difficulties that attended the marking out of the chartered company's domain of Rhodesia, we need not enter into detail.

Mm-hmm.

S Patrol is the Southern Rhodesians.

W Patrol is broken up to kind of make room, and its men go to top up R and T, and, and later on the patrols get split down as well, so the Kiwis become R1, R2, G1, and G2.

Yep, yep, yep, yep.

"You, you didn't tell us when you were gonna give them back," and, and pretty much that's it.

The squadron gets pulled out, and by the end of the year, it's gone.

The Rhodesians and the British carry on into the Balkans without them.

So-

J. Theodore Bent, working in the eighteen nineties, selectively removed artifacts and conveniently lost documentation that would have proved indigenous African construction.

Later, in the early nineteen hundreds, the Ancient Ruins Company of Rhodesia literally looted the site, carrying off tons of artifacts to sell to collectors, destroying stratigraphic evidence in the process.

It wasn't until the nineteen thirties that professional archaeologists began acknowledging what should have been obvious from the start.

Great Zimbabwe was built by Africans, Shona people specifically.

And he was ticked that he, the ruler of the British Empire, was being challenged by this little nation, and this was 1907 after all, a time when Great Britain was at the height of world power.

Its king reigned over India, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Egypt, Uganda, Nigeria, Jamaica, Hong Kong, Ceylon, Kenya, and Rhodesia, to name the bigs.

In other words, a quarter of the world's land and population.

Despite the ongoing protests of some of the Irish, they were not about to let their immediate neighbors go.

So what this also means is that there haven't been any people from French-speaking countries who've insisted upon having their proper French titles in there.

We will not send our people to this country, this Rhodesian country.

No, no, no.

You know, the last person I ever heard of getting a Rhodes Scholar was Bill Clinton.

This was the land discovered by Dr. Livingstone, settled by Scotchman at his insistence, and here on Lake Banguiolo, he died.

The whole territory is now called Rhodesia, or Zambesia, and extends from Cape Colony North over 2,000 miles past Lake Nyasa, with Lake Tanganyika as its northeastern boundary, and the Congo Free State its northwestern.

The company now claim a territory of nearly one million square miles, an area larger than Europe, exclusive of Russia.

The country is very thinly populated, and the valleys of the Limpopo and Zambezi are infested by the Tzitzi, a stinging fly unknown elsewhere.

He'd heard the stories from the local Congolese, tales of massive creatures that roamed these unexplored territories, leaving behind footprints the size of dinner plates and a wake of broken trees.

This account from John Johnson comes from the 1932 edition of the Rhodesia Herald newspaper.

As it wasn't digitized, I visited the Library of Congress recently to look it up on microfilm,

but even was unable to locate it there.

In his book, Be Sen Men, Hagenbeck wrote...

Some years ago, I received reports from two quite distinct sources of the existence of an immense and wholly unknown animal.

said to inhabit the interior of Rhodesia, almost identical stories reached me.

Firstly, through one of my own travelers, and secondly, through an English gentleman who had been shooting big game in Central Africa.
