- (21 Mar 1979) RR7912A GRENADA BISHOP'S MOVE
On March 13th 1979 Maurice Bishop, leader of Grenada's
left-wing New Jewel Movement, staged a coup and seized
power from Sir Eric Gairy. Grenada had gained her
independence from Britain in 1974 amid a general strike
from which the tiny Caribbean island's economy has never
recovered. Bishop himself had been arrested only 7 hours
before Independence Day. The inhabitants of the island were
in no mood for celebration and there were street demonstrations
calling for the resignation of the Government. At that time
Eric Gairy managed to hold power with the help of his 'secret
police'. Five years later, after reports that there was a
plot to assassinate members of the New Jewel Movement, Bishop
decided that this was the time to move rather than wait to be
killed. In the early hours of the morning of March 13th the
virtually bloodless coup took place and Maurice Bishop became
the island's new self-proclaimed Prime Minister.

So sad how maurice bishop was killed
..the man had promise...bright fellow with a good heart for people
Like Salvador Allende, he didn't understand the unforgiving ideology to whom he made his allegiance. Said ideology's ruthless servants executed him.
@@Charlesputnam-bn9zy I do not think that Pinochet was a radical socialist. (referring to Allende)
@@janzwam1153 Pinochet was a lousy(incompetent) dictator.
@@Charlesputnam-bn9zy Bishop’s murder didn’t have a damn thing to do with “ideology.” He was killed due to jealousy emanating from a formerly close ally who was hungry for power. If anyone kills over ideology, it’s the murderous, war mongering assassins of the USA who kill for capitalism, oil and empire.
@@Smoothsoulsinger Bishop chose the red ideology which teaches com-rats to be quicker on the draw in the com-rat race for power.
Hudson Austin understood it much better than the wide-red-eyed Bishop which thought that a little trickery was enuf to topple a mild dictator. Hudson Austin for his crave of power was easily manipulated by the CIA to kill his moron com-rat.
In Ethiopia the situation was the same when Mengistu gained the top place, by being kwicker on the draw.
my blood got cold when he called Bernard in the end 😔 it really do be your own friends
Apparently Bernard is his first cousin too
Nutmegs don't rotten it is the mace nutmegs keep growing
thing is he out lived them all.
i love her and that's my country's history
I firmly believe the power struggle could have been avoided if elections were held....just thinking
it's so sad how these westerners paints that story of our history and make it sound so bad....
Who could have thought at the time the Revo would end in Bloodshed 😨
not Bishop at any rate, who thought his comrades had his back,
turned out they did have his back for target practice.\, because they are con-rats.
love Bernard Coard. a very intelligent man.
I'm sure he is. But I wonder if he regret some things? I wonder if it was worth it for him in the end? 🤔 or did he get used like many get used by a higher hand?
@@Ondago_Indigo
You HIT the nail SQUARELY on the head with a SLEDGEHAMMER.
@@Ondago_Indigo
Of course he regretted it he supposed to have lot of sleepless nights in Jamaica where he live. the man is a traitor
Coard was a traitor not only to his friend Bishop but to the people of Grenada.
He thought himself very clever demagogically, & forgot that power comes from the barrel of a gun.
Something his comrades Coard & Austin knew only too well & religiously believe.
You’re very right. I believe his tongue was his weapon and their weapons were their guns. Who do you think they learned that from? Smh.
Trust no one. To be different that who he is.
I served in Grenada in 1985 during Operation Island Breeze with the 511th MP co out of Fort Dix, NJ
How long were you in Grenada?
@@wealrok I was in Grenada for 4 months.
@@417flop it would have been an interesting time. Some very complex history. I was in high school when the invasion took place. It was hard to understand what was the cause of events. Fortunately there are many historical accounts out there now and TH-cam clips to help clear things up. Your observations would be compelling.
@Ross Kirkpatrick Do you have Facebook messenger ? PM me i have alot of pictures to share from my time in Grenada.
@@417flop Yes. I’m on messenger under my own name - the same one. I've sent a message that I hope is to the right person.
#HowToLaughChallenge thumbs up

Bishop should have taken more time to think in depth 'bout Guevara's fate.
Whose mentor was none other than el-jefe Barbudos,
Whose "friends" died one after another,
among them Allende.
A Bishop-like
dreamer.
