1. RESISTANCE to REVOLUTION
A presentation by Dr. Peter Hammond

4. Frontline of Resistance
When Communism controlled one third of the world’s land surface
and population,

5. Rhodesia,
South West Africa
and South Africa
were in the very frontline
of the hot part
of the Cold War,
resisting the
southward expansion
of Soviet sponsored
Communist terrorism.

6. Hard Targets
Other hotspots in the frontline of resistance to Communist
Revolution were: South Korea;

7. Other hotspots in the frontline of
resistance to Communist Revolution were: Chile;

8. Other hotspots in the frontline of
resistance to Communist Revolution were: Taiwan (Free China);

9. Other hotspots in the frontline of
resistance to Communist Revolution were: Afghanistan;

10. Nicaragua

11. and of course the iconic symbol of the Cold War:
The Brandenburg Gate

12. as part of the Berlin Wall,

13. dividing the capital city
of Germany between the
Soviet occupied
German Democratic
Republic (GDR)

14. and the Federal Republic of West Germany.

15. The Hot Part of the Cold War
However, after the conclusion of the Korea War (1950-1953)

16. and the Vietnam War (in 1975),

17. the hottest part of
the Cold War was
Southern Africa.

18. Portugal
Abandons its
African Provinces
At first,
Portuguese West Africa
(Angola) and
Portuguese East Africa
(Mozambique)

19. bore the brunt of the Soviet sponsored revolutionary onslaught.

20. But after the Revolution in Portugal of 1974,

21. these overseas provinces of Portugal
(which dated back 500 years)

22. were
abandoned
into the hands
of the Marxist
terrorist
movement
FRELIMO
in
Mozambique

23. and MPLA in Angola.
Without so much as a Referendum or Election.

24. The people of Angola and Mozambique were betrayed
into the hands of the Soviet Union’s puppets,
with Cuban forces acting as their surrogates,

25. along with Soviet Russian military “advisors”
and vast quantities of Soviet weaponry.

26. Under Siege
Then from 1975, the full brunt of the Soviet sponsored Revolution
fell on Rhodesia.

27. The Rhodesian Security Forces had been battling Communist
terrorism since 1965.

28. But the abandonment of Mozambique by Portugal in 1975,
opened up more than half of Rhodesia’s frontier, the entire
Eastern border, to hostile attack.

29. Initially the terrorists only base of operations for attacking
Rhodesia had been from Zambia to the North of the Zambezi
River,

30. now the insurgency grew exponentially and the Rhodesians were
hard pressed to beat back the far more numerous

31. and, in many ways, better supplied,
ZANU-PF and ZAPU Communist Revolutionaries.

32. Cross Border Pre-Emptive Raids
Rhodesia began the series of hot pursuit
and pre-emptive cross-border strikes,

33. including spectacularly successful raids
against Communist terrorist bases in Mozambique.

34. This involved conventional clashes with FRELIMO’s armed forces,

35. aerial bombardments,

36. blowing up of bridges and railway lines,
essential for the supplies of the Marxist guerrillas.

37. Rhodesia also increasing supported the RENAMO
anti-communist resistance movement in Mozambique.

38. Betrayed
In the end,
although the Rhodesians were
spectacularly successful
in the military war,

39. economic sanctions and increasing political pressure brought to
bear by the only friendly neighbour to the South, South Africa,
forced the Rhodesians into a negotiated settlement.

40. In the words of Rhodesian Prime Minister Ian Smith: “We were
never beaten by our enemies; we were betrayed by our friends!”

41. Countering Communist Cubans
With the abandonment of Portuguese West Africa (Angola),
to the Cuban and MPLA forces in 1975,

42. South Africa launched a pre-emptive raid into Angola, which was
so successful that South African forces actually were within sight
of Luanda in the far North West of the country.

43. They could see the Cubans evacuating, loading their tanks and
trucks onto their ships to sail back across the Atlantic to Cuba.

44. Treacherous Allies
However, it was at that pivotal point that defeat was snatched out
of the jaws of victory by the US government
(who had actually asked the South Africans to intervene to
prevent the Cuban takeover of Angola)

45. voted against South Africa in the United Nations Security Council,
condemning this intervention which they had actually requested.

46. For good or ill, South Africa complied and withdrew from Angola,
justly feeling betrayed by its Western allies.

47. Excalating Insurgency
It was not long after that that SWAPO terrorist attacks
on South West Africa (SWA) greatly increased.

48. Whereas in the past, the SWAPO terrorists had only had Zambia
as a base of operations to infiltrate South West Africa, now the
entire Northern border of SWA was open to infiltration by
communist terrorists.

49. The Best Form of Defence is Attack
Therefore, South Africa began to launch cross border raids,
pre-emptive strikes,

50. which included the spectacular Cassinga Airborne
Assault,
the largest parachute assault in the history of Africa
since the Second World War.

51. The pre-emptive strikes pushed the communist threat further
North, creating a safe buffer zone

52. to protect the villages, schools and farms of South West Africa
from landmine planting, terrorist incursions.

53. The Sharp End of Soviet Expansionism
After the betrayal of Rhodesia in 1980, the war in Angola
dramatically increased as the hottest part of the Cold War.

54. At any one time, there were 55,000 Cuban troops in Angola

55. and the Soviet Union poured multiplied Billions of Dollars of their
best weaponry into Angola.

56. South Africa Stands Alone
Despite International Arms Sanctions, South Africa Armscor
produced the G5 and G6, 155mm Howitzers,

57. Ratels

58. and the Cheetah upgrade to the Mirage jets.

59. Even when greatly outnumbered, the SADF consistently won
spectacular victories against all communist forces in Angola,

60. including in air to air jet dogfights.

61. Resistance in Communist Colonies
1980 marked the high watermark of the Soviet Communist
Empire. Resistance to communist tyranny deepened and
extended. There always was resistance.

62. Even ten years after World War Two was over, there were still
units of the Ukrainian Army and the Lithuanian forces fighting
against the Soviet Red Army, as late as 1955.

63. There was an uprising
against the communists
in East Berlin in 1953.

64. The uprising in Hungary in 1956 was huge.

65. The resistance to communism in Czechoslovakia in 1968, the so-
called Prague Spring, again shocked the Soviet world at the depth
and extent of resistance to communism.

66. The growth of Solidarity in Poland in the 1980’s

67. and in Czechoslovakia, Hungary and East Germany

68. and most spectacularly in the Christmas Revolution of Romania,
1989, was the climax of a tumultuous year,

69. which saw the Fall of the Berlin Wall

70. and the collapse of the Iron Curtain.

71. Counter Revolution
Behind the scenes, Bible smugglers,

72. Gospel radio broadcasts, Radio Free Europe,

73. the underground Churches,

74. the Leipzig prayer movement
and the seven year
Jericho Prayer March,
launched in 1982,
to bring down the Iron Curtain

75. and to open up Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union
to the Gospel,

76. culminated in the
toppling of communist
dictatorships from one
end of Eastern Europe
to the other.

77. Combat on Communist Territory
The growth of resistance movements throughout
the Soviet empire, the Contras in Nicaragua,

78. the Mujahideen in Afghanistan,

79. RENAMO in Mozambique,

80. UNITA in Angola

81. and the decisive conventional battles fought by the South African
Defence Force against Soviet led Cuban and Marxist MPLA forces
in Angola, culminating in the Lomba River Battle,
all heralded the Fall of the Soviet empire.

82. Movements for Freedom Triumph
The Singing Revolution which had begun in the
Baltic States of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia

83. led to secession and independence
of these countries from the USSR.

84. Communist Yugoslavia collapsed with Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia
and Macedonia breaking away.

85. Croatia and Slovenia seceded from Yugoslavia in 1991.

86. Czechoslovakia split peacefully in the Velvet Divorce between the
Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic.

87. Ukraine’s independence was recognised,
as was Belarus.

88. The Strategic Role of Christian Missions
Our Mission, along with many other Christian Missions to the
communist world, played our part in exposing the atrocities,

89. weaknesses, failures, evils, hypocrisies and crimes of communism
and by publishing eye-witness testimonies and photographic
evidence of the sufferings of the persecuted Church and their
resilience in the face of relentless persecution.

90. Bible smuggling, Christian radio programmes, regular visits,
encouragement,

91. Leadership Training, including with underground Bible colleges, all
helped play a part in strengthening the internal resistance against
communist tyranny.

92. To Mozambique with Love
In Mozambique we had smuggled in Bibles,
helped persecuted churches,

93. provided chaplaincy training and resources
for RENAMO Resistance fighters

94. and through books, such as In the Killing Fields of
Mozambique. We helped make the plight of the persecuted
Church in Mozambique better known.

95. I testified on many radio
and TV programmes
throughout the USA
and Europe against the
communist FRELIMO
dictatorship of Mozambique
and on behalf of the
persecuted church.

96. Resistance in Angola
In Angola we delivered Bibles and books
to UNITA Freedom Fighters of Jonas Savimbi

97. and supplied them with Gospel Recordings materials in their
languages.

98. We took in Christian film
makers to document
UNITA’s courageous fight
against
international communism.

99. Reformation in Zambia
In Zambia, we conducted Biblical Worldview Seminars
and God and Government Seminars,

100. delivered thousands of Christian textbooks,

101. spoke on radio and TV and worked to see the overthrow of
Kenneth Kaunda’s UNIP socialist dictatorship

102. and the rise of a new government which officially declared Zambia
a Christian country, in 1991.

103. Mobilising Resistance to Revolution
In mobilising resistance to Revolution, there are five clear phases:

104. 1. Information: Books; Newsletters; Films; Radio and TV
programmes; Websites; Lectures; Presentations.

105. 2. Intercession: Mobilising the Seven-Year Jericho Prayer March
to bring down the Iron Curtain; the Leipzig Prayer Movement;
International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted and other
prayer initiatives, including The Power of Prayer Handbook

106. 3. Involvement: Bible smuggling; ministry behind the Iron
Curtain; serving persecuted churches and literature
distribution.

107. 4. Investment: Leadership training and Love in Action for
persecuted churches and resistance movements.

108. 5. Implementation: Mobilising international resistance to
communism; training and strategically supporting resistance
movements within communist countries.

109. Publications Against the Revolution
Some of the books which our Mission produced to mobilise
resistance to Revolution, included:

110. In the Killing Fields of Mozambique;

111. Angola By the Back Door;

112. Holocaust in Rwanda;

113. Going Through – Even Though the Door is Closed;

114. Faith Under Fire in Sudan;

115. Slavery, Terrorism and Islam
– The Historical Roots and
Contemporary Threat; and a
series of documentary films.

116. The Role of Special Forces in Modern Warfare
In the last half of the 20th century and especially in the first two
decades of the 21st century, Special Forces have become even
more important as conventional warfare is far less common.

117. Dealing as we are with
communist oppression and
subversion, small numbers of
specially trained forces are
able to inflict damage far out
of proportion with their
modest numbers,

118. by operating behind enemy lines to gather intelligence, to train
and support resistance movements and to mobilise irregular
warfare.

119. The goal of such special forces is to subvert and undermine the
enemy, especially by mobilising populations under their nominal
control, to active and effective resistance.

120. Vietnam
In Vietnam the American Green Berets trained, mobilised and
supplied the Montagnards who continued to resist communism in
Vietnam decades after the Americans had left their shores.

121. Mozambique
In Mozambique the Rhodesian SAS C-Squadron trained and
supplied RENAMO anti-communist guerrillas

122. who continue to resist the communists in Mozambique to this very
day, 40 years since the official end of Rhodesia.

123. Angola
In Angola, the South African Reconnaissance Commando and 32-
Battalion, aided, trained, supported and supplied UNITA anti-
communist freedom fighters of Jonas Savimbi in combatting
communist Cuban forces.

124. UNITA has continued to resist communism for decades since
South Africans withdrew from their territory.

125. Spiritual Special Forces in Restricted Access Areas
Missions also need Spiritual Special Forces who will work in areas
where conventional missions is either illegal, or dangerous.

126. Through literature, leadership training, supplies and support

127. a small number of highly motived, specialised missionaries can
make an impact far out of proportion to their modest numbers.

128. a small number of highly motived, specialised missionaries can
make an impact far out of proportion to their modest numbers.

129. make an impact far out of proportion to their modest numbers.

130. The Successful Campaign for the
Secession of South Sudan
For example, in Sudan, Frontline Fellowship trained the first
Chaplains for the Sudanese Peoples Liberation Army (SPLA)
military,

131. Frontline Fellowship trained the first medics for their
Medical Corp,

132. brought in supplies, tonnes of Bibles

133. and medicines, supplying an ambulance, container shipments of
medicines, bringing in specialised medical staff to further train up
medics and rehabilitate hospitals and clinics

134. while internationally
publishing their plight through
over 1,000 radio and TV
programmes in the USA alone
and hundreds more in Europe
and throughout Africa,

135. exposing the atrocities of the National Islamic Front dictatorship of
Omar Al Bashir in Khartoum.

136. We energetically campaigned for the independence of South
Sudan.

137. This campaign was ultimately successful and resulted in 9 June
2011 with the Independence of South Sudan.

139. Psychological Warfare
Psychological warfare can particularly be divided into:
Psyops Own Forces and Psywar Enemy Forces.

140. Psyops Own Forces
The goal of Psyops Own Forces is to build up the
morale of your own forces, to encourage, educate,
empower, energise, enlist and enthuse your forces.

141. To inform,
inspire
and involve,
to motivate
and to mobilise
by examples
of excellence
to fight,
to innovate,
to persevere,
to victory.

142. Psywar Enemy Forces
Psywar Enemy Forces aims to undermine the morale of the
enemy by exposing their atrocities, weaknesses, failures,
evils, hypocrisies and crimes.

143. To Expose and Oppose Marxist Revolution
Utilising eyewitness testimonies and historic perspectives,
photographic evidence, video footage, reports, broadcasts,
publications, such as George Orwell’s 1984 and Animal Farm;

144. the writings of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn,
such as The Gulag Archipelago;

145. The Black Book of Communism;

146. Agenda 2 – Masters of Deceit film;

147. and other resources, our goal is to expose and oppose the
communist forces arrayed against us.

148. Home Education
One of the greatest acts of resistance once can do to the One
World totalitarian secular humanist revolutionary New World Order
is to promote Home Education.

149. Groups such as Answers in Genesis are dedicated to providing
excellent resources to empower and equip parents to home
educate their children from a Bible-based, Christ-centered
curriculum that will undermine the New World Order and help
build, strengthen and extend the Kingdom of God on earth.

150. the Reformation Society is dedicated to providing excellent
resources to empower and equip parents to home educate their
children from a Bible-based, Christ-centered curriculum that will
undermine the New World Order and help build, strengthen and
extend the Kingdom of God on earth.

151. Christian Liberty Books is dedicated to providing excellent
resources to empower and equip parents to home educate their
children from a Bible-based, Christ-centered curriculum that will
undermine the New World Order and help build, strengthen and
extend the Kingdom of God on earth.

152. Reaching and Teaching Remote and Restricted Regions
To this end the William Carey Bible Institute provides a treasure
trove of resources, books, manuals, audio and video lectures,
PowerPoints, documentaries and links to vital resources,

153. all completely free, available online to equip and empower
students to bypass state indoctrination gulags and invest in the
future of their families and the Faith.

154. Practical Actions to Mobilise Resistance
and Work for Reformation
Some examples of successful psyops against the Revolutionaries,
include: Woman’s Day outreaches/Missions in the Mall;

162. Life Chains;

164. March for Life

175. our demonstration against the attempted screening of
The Last Temptation of Christ at WITS University;

176. at WITS University;

177. Anti-blasphemy demonstrations,

178. marches to parliament against the secular state

190. and the campaign for
Independence for
the Cape of Good Hope.

192. “Who will rise up for Me against the evildoers?
Who will stand up for Me
against the workers of iniquity?” Psalm 94:16
