SELF DEFENSE PART 2: Operation Urgent Fury - Greneda, A Perspecitve More Than 30 Years Later.

When I began this series last month I ran a video of a martial arts instructor teaching his techique to a group of students.  I felt he was quite thorough as a teacher and I wanted to share.  However, when I considered what I would post next under the guise of self defense, I never thought it would be about the revolution in Grenada that spurred the U.S. to attack the little island with their newly developed special forces group teams.  I went to youtube to research more on what U.S. military groups actually took part in the invasion of the spice island.  I learned that it was mostly special forces units; Army Rangers in first, Delta Force, Navy S.E.A.L.s, Green Berets, Force Marine Recon, Airforce special forces, and U.S. Army Airborne units.  The invasion was a fiasco by military standards, but still overwhelming for an island nation the size of Grenada with no military to speak of.  So why attack Grenada?  And, why would I think of self defense and the Grenada Revolution? 

Feeding yourself and your family create a zone of freedom.  Every growing season each household should take control of what they eat and grow as much of their own fruits and veggies as they can.  It will give relief to your household economy and strengthen your body.  The Grenada Revolution said "Freedom Is Feeding Yourself".  After I watched these set of videos, I came to the renewed realization that when Black people take into our own hands we take our destiny the white over culture requires that it stop that progress. Feeding yourself from your own dirt is freeing yourself.  Check out the revolution that Reagan needed to stop.
