A Warm Up in Post Millenium Meanderings?

I remember how about you?
.

You Can Get Neither Blood.......

Nor Flames From A Stone..........

However, Eternal springs hope around the..........

.........................."ROCK OF CILMERI" or at least it did, once upon a time, now little springs fourth but the disillusionment of dead dreams, of an Independence lost and a freedom not to be restored by those who turn their backs on the struggle for a nations survival, they who fear marching toward the Sun of an 'Adfywiad Gwladgarol Newydd'.
.

This 'Adfywiad Sun' will give enough light to shine into every shadowy corner into every dark room in the house of defeat, despair and disillusionment. It will be this same 'Adfywiad Sun' that shall shine light upon and burn those who distort truths with the lies if ''Diletantte Distraction'' that lead patriots down the road to ruination of their cause and retreat from struggle. However, there is hope that will come to return within the hearts of the good and the true who will seek out the 'Adfywiad Sun', marching into it's eternal brightness that one day will shine upon an 'Adfywiad Gwladgarol Newydd'. Under the 'Adfywiad Sun' truth will spring fourth from the ''Rock of Cilmeri'' and once more the ''Sacred Acre'' shall witness around the ''Commemorative Cenotaph'' those who are not just ''Cilmeriaid Gwir'' but are truelly 'Adfywiadwyr Gwlatgarol'. Hold on 'Reality Check', Cilmeri? Me thinks that has reached it's ''Sell by date'' and have not those who gather there rather ''Lost the Plot'' as those who now gather there chose not to follow 'Baner Llywelyn' nor 'Baner Glyndwr' but instead follow the ''Anglican'' 'Cross of Saint David' and who have become one of the 'Knights of Saint David' of the 'MILTARY AND HOSPITALLER ORDER OF SAINT DAVID', and what ever cause they represent? it is certainly not mine, is it yours? Thus perhaps there is now another ''Rock'' for patriots to gather around to reach out for inspiration and aspiration. That being the ''Rock of Garreg Wasted'', is it not the case better to 'Cofia 1797' rather than 'Cofia 1282'.

......................................................If then 'Adfywiad Gwlatgarol' faulters, fails and falls at the final hurdle! Is instead our ''Radical Resurgence'' to be an 'Adfywiad Gweriniaethol'

...........or perhaps a ''Revolutionary Resurgence'', an 'Adfywiad Goch' will call us to rally to the 1831 Red Flag and gather around it, on the 31 May on Hirwaun Common, then march on to the ''Workers Barrio'' of Cefn, to assemble there in our growing 100's, then 1000's. To, on 3 June annually march into Merthyr Tudful to remember the I831 Insurrection and the massacre of the Castle Inn.

THERE FOLLOWS A WARM UP IN POST MILLENIUM MEANDERINGS AROUND MY MIND! 2007 - Mae'r Adfywiad Gwladgarol yn Dod. If you think I am going to bore you to death with more about Cilmeri, your wrong (or maybe not?) so read on and perhaps be suprised but Cilmeri etc will arise sooner rather than later but I promise you there will be much more to this 'Adfywiad Gwladgarol Cymru' blog than just Cilmeri etc. This posting was intended as the first, but never got around to completing it, so relax and enjoy has I take you on a journey of discovery in this meandering around my over fertile mind which very slowly with old father time catching up on me fast, often means I forget more that I can remember. My days of ''Hedge Teaching'' are all but over and so I retire to my ''Monkish Period'' surrounded by dusty folders and files, boxes of archive material thinking of that long unused library in that wonderful film ZARDOZ whilst listening to Julie Garland singing 'Some where over the Rainbow' on my CD player.

.

Beats Cilmeri yes? but seriously folks, the scene in ZARDOZ where Sean Connery, as a the '' brutal'' by the name of 'ZED' gets a copy of 'THE WIZARD OF OZ' mysteriosly thrown at him, to reveal much that up to then has mystified him. This scene in that film was similar to a relevation I had long ago, when a copy of the book 'Raise up the draw bridge' fell out of a class room cupboard I had been told to clean. That day was very much a turning point for a young lad, then about 14. I was attending ''Welsh Class'' and along with most of my young ''peers'' not a bit interested in learning bits of 'Cymraeg' nor keen on learning about Hywel Harris et al, that's all we got in ''Welsh Class''. The only 'Welsh History' we got was in fact ''Welsh Religious History''. That day I had been particularly ''naughty'' and told to stay behind and clean up the class room cupboards when I discovered the aforementioned Welsh History book with it's stirring tales of Welsh princes and chiefs in struggle against the 'Anglo - Normans'. So, I quickly finnished off cleaning the cupboards and snuck off home with this book (I did return it, honest!) to avidly read it from beginning to end in a few days. For sure that fuelled me fast forward toward Welsh Nationalism and with out doubt motivated me more than just a little toward Cofiwn and over 40 years as a ''Welsh Remembrancer'' and ''Hedge Teacher'' from Cofiwn to Ty Cenedl to Embassy Glyndwr. Now retired I can consume what time is left working on the web to advance knowledge and information on Welsh History (see my Cofiwn History Archive blog and other blogs, details else where) and also continue to be a ''naughty boy'' with my recent 'Cilmeri'40 Commemoration 1966 - 2006 Tribute blog and now this 'Adfywiad Gwladgarol' blog.

Prior to my personal ''Zardoz Experience'' which was not the only factor that matured 'Welsh Patriotism' within me, before that my Mam who was an avid reader of Historical Biographies' but usually of people out of English history, used the library, often bringing home books. I would casually browse these books on occaision and so adding to my interest in history. My Mam also had a keen interest in Greek Mythology and I actually did come to know much more about that mythology, in my younger days more than Welsh Mythology. However, Mam one Xmas bought me an Illustrated Encyclopedia within which there was a chapter on the 'British Isles' consisting of England's four pages, Ireland three and Scotland two but Wales only one page.

.

Nevetheless even my young mind (about seven years, if I remember correctly) could work much out from the contents to realise what went wrong with Welsh History compared to that of Ireland and Scotland. My Dad had little interest in History, he was your 'Hwntw' personified with fanatical interest in Rugby and Boxing. My Dad was that ''Sports Welsh Patriot'' particularly when it came to Rugby, I had actually seen him before he died, crying if Wales lost and he would almost have an heart attack if England was giving Wales a pounding. Believe it or not, Dad often had to leave the room if an England v Wales was getting to be too close in the final minutes. Shortly before he died I managed to take him to Caerdydd to see the Millenium Stadium (from the outside) and make one last pilgrimage to Cardiff Market to check out the Budgies, his one other great passion in life being breeding birds (This is possibly why I am so fond of White Eagles? before you think I am mad, I am not serious that was off the cuff!). Dad's contribution to the development of my interest in history was buying me copies of 'Classic Illustrated' of which the history related stories interested me, and also otherwise ''Short Cut'' my knowledge of ''World literature''. He would also buy be 'Bufflo Bill' annuals at Xmas and this not only informed me of ''American Indians'' but produced in me a sympathy with their sad story, you will see how this leads me towards in time, the American Indian Movement. One big contribution Dad made to my 'Patriotic Awareness' was through Boxing in a round about way. He had been asked to make 'Red Dragon' designs for Dick Richardson's dressing gown , it was the 'Red Dragon' out of my aforementioned 'encylopedia' which Dad used for the design used.

I was quite ''chuffed about ''My'' Red Dragon being used in this way and that might seen me well on the way to becoming just a ''Sports Patriot'' if it was not for a Morgan Mounty, a young Welsh Speaking Farmers Son with whom I became friendly with, in my latter years at school, it was Morgan who informed me of the existance of Plaid Cymru - then an actual, for real WELSH NATIONALIST PARTY, even though I know that to be, more of a largelly rural and cultural ''Nationalist Party''. Whatever? more important perhaps was that Morgan also informed me of the ''illegal Underground'' radio broadcasts of this ''Welsh Nationalist Party'', it's from this point I start to get ''Politicised'' and begin to write 'Nationalist Slogans' in my school exercise books, on one occaision getting caned for it. Next came the daubing of Political Slogans at night on the school wall and I was not yet 15, things were sarting to move fast and within a matter of years I would after school having started work, join Plaid Cymru but then moved to Somerset to work but within a year or so of reading the Plaid Cymru paper, I decided to return to the homeland.

The rest is history of ''my 60's'', from Plaid Cymru to Patriotic Front and the great 'Adfywiad Gwladgarol 1962 - 69'. In which I helped to motivate and mobalise the Anti - Investiture Campaign, co - founding the Anti-Sais Front, later to become Patriotic Front in 1964. Then with Toni Lewis I co-founded the Cilmeri rally in 1966, then in 1967 organising Anti - Investiture Propaganda and in 1968 ''Taking to the streets'' with protest demonstrations against the Investiture and subsequently in 1969 arrested, tried and imprisoned. Following my release I soon decided to go into self imposed exile in Ireland for two years, return to Wales. Early 70's are my ''Political Left Years'' with first a small, with my brother the ''Welsh Socialist Vanguard'' group and later we helped co-found Cymru Goch I and also supported a Plaid Gwerin Cymru formed by Idwal Dyer. However, I find history rather than politics the stronger pull and from the mid - seventies up to the mid 80's it is with Cofiwn and Ty Cenedl I mostly focused my enthusiasm and effortin the cause of Wales. However, always still opptimistically hopeful of a second great 'Adfywiad Gwladgarol' which never seems to arrive, and now do not really think ever will (I complete this post now after Cilmeri 2006)?

.

THIS IS MY FINAL ATTEMPT TO PROMPT ONE but it's only in theory, far as I am concerned, after about 45 Years as for most of those years an ''Adfywiadwr Activist' in one shape or form, I now consider myself retired. My last actual action was at the ''Sham Senedd'' on 31 Mawrth 2006, the story of which I will inform of in this blog at another time. So the actual patriotic practise of any 'Adfywiad Gwladgarol Newydd' I shall leave to a younger generation. Guys! give me a break but in reality I am far from retired but have this blog and other blogs and Web sites to work on which leaves me with little time to motivate and mobalise further 'Patriotic Resurgence'. Any pracrical effort would be weakened by age and by enthusiasm blunted by the apathy that abounds in the ''Alternative Nationalist Movement'' now pretty misarably moribound apart from the ''Patrioticly Challenged'' pathetic antics of such ''knee jerk patriotism'' of 'Balchder Cymru' and 'Cymru Rhydd' aka so called 'Welsh Republican Party'. Sad to say, both ''Politically Challenged'' in their nonsensical ''Retro - Romantic Rubbishy'' so called and self percieved ''Welsh Republicanism''.

.

I pretty much regard myself and many who are of my ''Alternative Nationalist'' generation to be ''Yester days Men'', it will require an entirely new generation of Patriots, whom must be potential 'RADICAL NATIONALISTS' to establish a serious 'NEW ALTERNATIVE NATIONALISM'. Thus this 'Adfywiad Gwladgarol Cymru' weblog, is here to prompt thinking not propose anything specific as a patriotic solution. If a younger generation want to make of this an actual 'MUDIAD ADFYWIAD GWLADGAROL CYMRU', then they are going to have to work at it a lot harder than being just ''Bachder Boyos'' and ''Cymru Rydd Crackers''. No! your going to have to work hard at becoming an 'Adfywiadwyr Gwlatgarol' or otherwise you will just end up as a 'PINT POT PERIPHERAL PATRIOT' or worse perhaps nought but a ''TARTAN TAFF''. Have no fear, this blog will aid and assist you toward 'Adfywiad Gwladgarol' enlightenment, enthusiasm produce within you the effort to continue Radical Nationalist Alternative Nationalist Struggle in a ''worldly wise way'' which will also help keep you well out of harms way. Although as an 'Adfywiadywr Gwladgarol' you will tread the path that more moderate nationalists will fear to tread and where ''Cultural Nationalists'' have no care to go?
.
BUT BEFORE IT ALL GETS TO HEAVY, FIRST SOME LIGHT MEANDERING ABOUT, WHICH WILL ALSO GIVE YOU A BREAK FROM MORE OF CILMERI ? SO ENJOY:

Keep you occupied and happy whilst I deal with other out standing and urgent matters elsewhere, as some ''ASSYRIAN ROD'' business with a little bit of VKC, you will find in this 'Adfywiad Gwladgarol' introductionary posting some interesting ''Eye Candy'' to indulge in.
.

However, this is not just to humour you but to help you 'OPEN YOUR MIND'' to make it more possible for you to understand better the ''Occult'', in the ''Hidden'' sense not the Denis Weatly ''Black Magic'' and ''Devil Worship'' but I do recomend 'The Haunting of Toby Jug' . I really mean some ''Esoteric Wisdom'' aka 'Hermetic Knowledge' as best read in any number of books but have a go at Umberto Eco's 'Foucaults Pendulum' first, follow it up with 'Sophie's World' by Jostain Gaarder and begin a long read through the Illuminatus! triology by Robert Anton Wilson plus of course; The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail by Henry Lincoln & Co but of course, it's only a good read, read into it no more than that, there is no great mystery about it all, the priest was just good at writting begging letters.

Nevertheless do not dispell from your mind the Cathar faith born in ''fury and fire'', remember it was on 'Dydd Dewi' that the Cathars at Montsegur surrendered and soon after Esclaramonde, high priestess of the Cathars was burnt, but her spirit was released in form of a dove. You will be reading much of the Cathars in this blog and become illuminated to much but suffice to say for the most part I shall be informing you of the Counts of Foix (Pn fwa, did you get that, I will repeat it again 'fwa!)) and their gallant stand against the Franks and other ''Northern Babarians'' sent against them. You will also learn of the 'Faidits' usually they were Cathar Knights robbed of their lands and made outlaws much same as our 'Gwerin Owain', they too were to continue resistance to the 'Christian Crusaders'. The 'Faidits' were a ''Banditary of angry men looking for revenge'' from their hidden lairs high up in the Pyranees or from more safe bases in Catalonia. Search web for books on Cathars and the Crusades against them, a good fictional read at moment on the above subject is Labyrinth by Kate Mosse also Romanitas by Sophia MacDougal, have not got around to reading this yet, it's an alternative history story set in present times with the Roman Empire still in existance. Of some interest is fact that the 'Anti - Roman Freedom Fighters' are based in the Pyranees. In passing I cannot help but comment that there seems to be a lot of good fiction out on the book shelves these days and much of it written by women, another example and plug, is 'The Historian' by Elizabeth Kostova. I suppose after years spent as a ''Welsh Remembrancer'' with Cofiwn, it figures I would have not only an interest in the dead but also the ''Undead'' aka Vampires, but not many Welsh ones about, though I do know of one female Vampire.

You will have noted above my interest in the ''Esotericism'' of the Cathars and in 'Alternative History', guess it goes with my 'Alternative Nationalism' but I also have a great interest in the Gothic. I hope from time to time to share some of this interest with you on this site where it becomes of Interest and connection.

.

For a moment more lets take the dogs for a walk where Angels fear to tread. I took the photo below, years back at the beginning of time when thunder and lightening were of daily occurrence and the seas stormed the land in ceasless waves of destruction upon the shores of Cymru out of the waters of Cantref Gwaelod.

Now that should give you a clue as to where in Cymru this Angel in picture above appeared to me with an ''Esoteric Message'', revealing unto me the path I must take towards our ''First City'' on the East Bank of present day Cambria of Cambria Magazine and Cambria Band et al? (By way photo was taken with red sweet paper over the lens?

.

Although, perhaps by next year I will have my Gothic Web Site up and running and introduce you to some ''Welsh Werewolves' which will hopefully enthuse and excite some action out of our patriotic ''Grey Wolves'', former but now aging 'Adfywiadwyr Glatgarol'. Sadly of whom the best are dead or are dieing away, more and more leaving us with for most part all that's left is the now Post Devolution ''Debris'' of 'TO DREAM OF FREEDOM'. Even more sadly is the fact that many of these had become no more than the Pre - Devolution ''Good Ole Boys of Peripheral Pint Pot Patriots'' (although a few were that way bent anyway, from the very beginning). Worse however, is that a few have even converted to that growing Spuedo Welsh Patriotism of ''TARTAN TAFFERY'' but what can one expect from those who would follow in the foolish foot steps of those who believe they are ''Arwyr Gododdin'' seeking some silly ''Valhalla of Vanity'' at Cilmeri's 'Sacred Acre'.

I remind such self styled ''Heroes'' that the wolves and the ravens fed off the dead drunk bodies of the 'Arwyr Gododdin' but still, some where out there are perhaps, when attending patriotic gatherings there may be seen still ''Pensioneer Patriots'' who one may truelly call ''Hen Cymorodor'', ''Hen Cilmeriaid Gwir'' and not least patriots who were 'Adfywiadwr Gwladgarol'. These must become our patriotic ''Grey Wolves'', men as 'Adfywiadwr' Gwladgarol' Glyn Rowlands the Lone Wolf of Corris.

Whilst talking about Corris, please note that the BRAICH GOCH BUNKHOUSE in Corris makes a wonderful centre for a weekend of outdoor activities as walking, climbing and getting on to rivers and lakes plus 'mountain biking'. For the younger 'Adfywiadwyr Gwlatgarol' far better you spent time here for a weekend of following the RED STAG into the wild woods of central Cymru, learning the history and ways of the 'Gwerin Owain' and the way of the ''Welsh Outlaws'' . As for our ''Grey Wolves'' do note you can spend a more easy and compfortable weekend, rambling about Corris or even reading, playing snooker or even watching videos or DVD's as I did when I was there, finaly got to see Niclolas Cage in 'National Treasure' and Tom Cruise in 'War of the Worlds'. No, it did not ''acculturalise'' me and don't take it as ''Written in Stone'' that one must shut one self off from other cultures be they old or new. Nor does one need to be ''automatically'' Anti - American full stop because of what they did to the 'First Peoples' of America and what they are doing now in Iraq. Do note 'Anti - Americanism' has it's roots in 19th Century right wing ruling class Nationalism and was further used by 20th century Facism. Both the European Right and Left have inherited ''Anti - American Knee Jerkism'' or otherwise we would see many more marching to end atrocities in Darfur and not just marching against American occupation of Iraq, get the point!

Which brings be to the Goddess 'Ishtar' of Babylon, here seen similar to statuette seen on display at the National Museum of Wales, what other connection may she have with Wales? Ishtar is the most ancient of eastern Goddesses. Much knowledge of Ishtar comes down to us from the epic story of Gilgamesh which has become through history the template for all epic tales and indeed ''stereo typical heroes''. As all epics rather long winded but not so much a difficult read as the 'WHITE GODDESS'' by Robert Graves, both Robert Graves have close connections with our homeland, WHAT ARE THEY? Ishtar by the way is the Goddess of War and Love, her star is Venus. Whilst on subject of Goddesses, a reminder that the ancient Celts had plenty, but how many are you aware of? On subject of ancient Middle Eastern Goddesses it is interesting to note, that the wings of Isis the Egyptian Goddess may have been those of the Kite. The Kite of course now very familier to Cymru, recently I seen at least 20 plus covering in the hills in the west whilst I was on my way to Aberystwyth. There was a buetifull darkening sunset and indeed it was a mystical site to see these wonderful birds hovering possibly for some dusk killing of rodents, wonderful! but my camera battery had run out. On subject of Rodents, I can think of a few rats I would lile the 'Red Eagle' to feed well on, particulary ''SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSNAKES'' aka:

More on this breed of 'Bradwyr' at a future date also my other pet patriotic hates as ''Gombeens'' and ''Shoneens''. Plus not least my favourite ''Gachgi'' of all none other than those ''DEVOLUTION DILETANTES'' and finnaly, must not forget 'Y CRACHACH' - ENGLAND's CLIENT TRIBE IN CYMRU/WALES. Did I hear some one out there say, what about the ''TARTAN TAFFS?''. Your damn right, how could I forget these whom I hold so close to the poisoness ''Vampires Breath'' but then this is and on going ''thingy'' of mine but at the moment I have ''Bigger Fish'' to fry, namely the ''KNIGHTS OF SAINT DAVID'' both their PIED PIPERS and their ''POODLES''. Enough on all this nastiness for now, as soon the 'ASSYRIAN ROD' shall be upon their backs? Lets get back to nicer matters as ''Celtic Paganism'':

The great Celtic Tribe 'Brigantia' were of course named after their adopted tribal Goddess 'Brigad'. the picture here is of an artifact associated with the worship of Brigad.'Dydd Brigad' falls on the last day of the Celtic Fire Festival and Feast of Imbolc, a two day affair of much creative merriment beginning on the eve of 1 Chwefror, so enjoy! Other Celtic Fire Festivals are, what?

OK! enough of the Paganism, lets get back to some Christianity but I am not going to overdo it on that, as I am sure the Dark, perhaps Dubious and Devious ''Knights of Saint David'' have cornered the market on that one, as soon will be revealed by they. One day the 'ASSYRIAN ROD' and thence 'Cleddyf y Genedl' shall smite them down and pray they are finnished and lead patriots no more off the true path, that seeks our homelands interest, and not the persuence of perhaps a ''MASONIC SELF VESTED INTERESTS?'' or what??? The ''Kights of Saint David'' may carry before them their ''Christian Cross'' but it will be we of the 'Adfywiad Gwladgarol Cymru' that shall seek the return of our 'Y Croes Naid'
This however, is also to symbolise fact that our campaign is a struggle to restore all our national treasures stolen since time of Conquest of 1282 - 3 - 4 and before. An aricle is being researched and will be 'On Line' to post along with detailed information regards how the campaign will be carried fourth and other useful details and information to sustain 'Adfywiadwyr Gwlatgarol' in this struggle unto victories as far as is patriotically possible. In due course it will be revealed as to when and where this campaigning struggle shall begin.

.

PATRIOTIC HEALTH WARNING - I Lied, from here it gets 'Adfywiad' Heavy and Hard, so turn off now or you may be led astray into realms of really real RADICAL NATIONALISM. Cilmeri' 40 Commemoration 1966 - 2006 was not in the true nature of those who would follow the path and ways of 'Adfywiadwyr Gwlatgarol', I am told that the 'Ethos of Cilmeri' was ignored and that ''Devolution Dilettantes'' and ''Tartan Taffs'' held sway over proceedings and not for 'Ultra Truistic'' patriotic purpose but possibly for other reasons we will in time discover. At Cilmeri'40 there was also betrayal and this too will be fully uncovered and be revealed to 'Adfywiad Gwladgarol', so that they may take the appropriate 'Adfywiad Action' of expelling all 'BRADWYR' from the 'Sacred Acre' of our Field of Dreams.

.

There in the ''Out Lands'' of an Hell of their own making the winter hungry Wolves may rip at their bodies and the Ravens feed of the flesh that remains on their bones, as become the fate of the Norman oppressors following the great Cymric Victory at the Battle of Llwchwr 1 Ionawr 1136. The Irish Word for it is 'BOYCOTT'', I believe certain tribal peoples could make ''Enemies of the Tribe'' become ''disappeared ones''. Even today certain political groups can do the same and make in particular 'Bradwyr' become ''Invisible''. Kitchen porters are often the ''Invisible'' staff in catering that's why you hardly ever see them in the mandotary ''Kitchen Shoot out'' in films, but of course the KP may have wisely gone on his fag break and thus survives whilst loads of Chefs get killed. This of course is ''Wish Come True'' for KP's who will be cheering at movie scenes where Chefs get the bullet. How many films have you seen that scene in? C'mon this is a serious 'Adfywiadwyr Activists'' entry exam test. How you going to learn how not to get killed if you do not know the answer to this question, THINK ABOUT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyway, back to realty and I know you are dieing for some stuff on Cilmeri, so how about this for starters.

Cilmeri 2007 marks the 40th anniversary of the begining of the great 'Adfywiad' against the Investiture of an English man has ''Prince of Wales''. Unfortunatly after all these years ''CARLISM'' survives in Cymru still unchallenged, the ''English Pretender'' has even now bought an ''Holiday Cottage'' in the village of MYDDFAI not too far from a number of ''Knights of Saint David'' in their hot bed of Ystrad Tywi. That should make 'Carlo' feel very safe as this bunch of ''fantasists'' who make good Pied Pipers in leading Patriots astray and up blind allyways as their 'Dydd Dewi' Parading and Posturing in Caerdydd. Their cheif objective is, to get all patriots into ''CILTS'' and become the nations ''TARTAN TAFF ARMY'' with ''100 KILTED DRUMMERS'' to drive our enemies away with a bit of Bang! Bang! Bang! but not quite the 'Shoot em dead'' stuff certain ''RETRO ROMANTIC REPUBLICANS'' fantazise in their ''Alcahol Fuelled Dreams'' and waffle about in their Rubbishy Republican Closets, they call web forums. Me got something against ''Welsh Republicanism'' No way! I made trip to Garreg Wasted on the coast of Penfro to find ''Welsh Republicanism'' but found none there, other than in Abergwuan the lonley and forgotten grave of the Rev Henry Davies of Llangloffen. I thence a few weeks later, in fact on 1st March I journied to Caerdydd with my Welsh Republican Tri - Colour to protest against visit of the English Royal Family to open the 'Sham Senedd'. See photo below that's me waving the Welsh Republican Flag'.

I looked around me there for ''Welsh Republicans'', a few present of the 'Guardian Newspaper Verity' as the Plaid Poppy Femme Trio of Leanne Woods, Jill Evans and up and coming PC ''new left starlet'' Bethan Jenkins. Oh yes! the ''Retro Rom Reps'' were there in form of Adam Phillips, Flintshires ''latter day Freedom Fighter'' but now ''Tartan Taff'' wee Drummer Boy'' with a couple of 'Balchder Boyos''. I did not see any of the erstwhile self Styled ''Welsh Republicans'', the ''Cymru Rydd Crackers'' (aka ''Welsh Republican Comment'' Closet/Forum), messers CD, SC, RE & SF & whoever? However where were the ''Old Die Hard Welsh Republicans'', on this 'Dydd Dewi 2006', why were they were up at the 'BLACK PIG' mobalising their ''Tartan Taff'' followers, a few ''Poodles'' but most unknowingly ''PATRIOTIC DUPES'' of the ''DEVOLUTION DILETTANTS'' and the Pied Pipers of the ''Knights of Saint David'' who were that day to send a ''Message of Treachery'' to the ''Sham Senedd'', believe it or not so called ''Welsh Republicans'' stood meekly by, as this was unfolding before their eyes. I SERIOUSLY WARN ALL PATRIOTS NOT JUST THOSE WHO WISH TO BECOME 'ADFYWIADWYR GWLATGAROL' KEEP YOUR DISTANCE FROM THE AFOREMENTIONED ''CREW OF CRONIES'' AND THE POLITICALLY CHALLENGED OF THE ''BALCHDER BOLLOCKS'' AND ''CYMRU RYDD CRAP''. I CANNOT MAKE IT ANY PLAINER THAN THAT, IF IT's ''ALTERNATIVE RADICAL NATIONALIST'' POLITICS YOU WANT? THEN MAY BE SOME DAY 'EIN GWLAD' WILL DELIVER THE GOODS BUT AT MOMENT NO SIGN OF THAT FROM THE WILDS OF MEIRIONYDD. OTHER THAN THAT IF YOU REALLY WANT A TRUE ''WELSH REPUBLICANISM'' LISTEN AND READ WHAT DAVID LAWRENCE HAS TO SAY, OTHERWISE JUST FORGET AND DEDICATE AND DEVOTE YOURSELVES TO ''MUDIAD ADFYWIAD GWLADGAROL CYMRU''.

At least you will learn something new with our 'Adfywiad Gwladgarol Newydd' and I suspect it will be more fun too? We will at least take you out of the Box! What ''BOX?'' why the ''BOX of CONFORMITY'' you have been put in and had the lid put on and nailed down. The awful truth is many of you, of your own free will actually ''Jumped into the Box'' and yes! it was a bit of a ''TOY BOX'' and yes, she will have the LAST LAFF ON TAFF! If you do not wise up pretty fast! .

.

It is perhaps amazing how much we commemorate the very distant past but not commemorate our own recent history of struggle. Cofiwn feared not to commemorate both the 1831 Welsh Insurrection and also the 1969 Welsh Insurrection with event also organised in memory of the 'Abergele Martyrs'. For a good while highly successful commemoration was held in Abergele with march through the town to the graves of the Martyrs. Such were brought to conclusion on request from member of the Martyr's families, as to revive memories year after ear was becoming too painful to contemplate further. For a while after that Cofiwn organised a small 'symbolic event' at the gates of Caernarfon Castle on or about 1st July annually was the intention but when Cofiwn ceased to exist no others organisation was prepared to continue with such.

.

To give credit where credit is due it was left 'Balchder Cymru' to begin more impressive commemorations at graves of commandants Cayo and Coslett FWA with also a smaller rememberance gathering at the ''Marytyrs Stone'' in Eryri. I do not want to be critical of B.C. here but up in Eryri we only make the birds aware of this history as at Cilmeri we in main make sheep aware of that history. As 'Adfywiadwyr Gwlatgarol' you will of course see that we have need not only to commemorate our history and remember our heroes but that we must make our people aware of their history both ancient, medieval and contemporary. This such events are by a patriotic neccessity 'ADFYWIAD AGIT - PROP', this in mind and in connection with the advance of an 'Adfywiad Gwladgarol Newydd'. It is patriotic priority to remind also not just of our past struggle against an English Pretender in 'Adfywiad'69' but also remind we must prepare to campaign against the fourthcoming attempt to foist an English Pretender Prince of Wales upon us. There will be no better way of doing this than 'Adfywiad Action' at the gates of Caernarfon Castle annually on or about 1st July, possibly holding small ''Autonomous Adfywiad'' gatherings by individuals and groups placing 'Rememberance Ivy and Black Ribbon' to remind of the Insult of the Investiture of 1969. This may be proceeded or followed by the placing of 'Abergele Martyrs' floral Tributes and lighting of votive candles in their memory at the 'COFEB 1282' close by, clearly seen by it's 'metal eagle' atop.

Here he is,

your next ''English Prince of Wales'' unless of course next time around Welsh Patriots organise a much bigger & better 'Adfywiad Gwladgarol' and if this is to be, you must start launch of the next Anti - Investiture Campaign at Cilmeri 2007. Why? well it was in 1967, that the Patriotic Front with Cymdeithas Llywelyn launched there the Anti - Investiture Campaign that would continue through 1968 and conclude in 1969 as it did and most will be aware of, if not read 'To Dream of Freedom' by Roy Clewes and published by Gwasg Lolfa.

LET THE SUN OF 'ADFYWIAD GWLADGAROL'

RISE OVER THE CILMERI'S 'SACRED ACRE'

From 1966 into 1967 and 1968 the annual Rali Cilmeri was focus of opposition and font of Welsh Resistance to the Investiture of an Englishman has ''Prince of Wales'', the 1967 witnessed launch of the Anti - Investiture Campaign and the 1968 Rally witnessed the fanal call to patriotic action. The Cilmeri gatherings will mark the 40th anniversaries of these historic events in our 'Hanes Adfywiad Gwladgarol', thus important that the 'Sacred Acre' once more becomes venue of a gathering not just of 'Cilmeriaid' but also of true, tried and tested 'Adfywiadwyr Gwlatgarol' to restore fully ''our covenant'' with the 'Ethos of Cilmeri'. Thus we shall make fertile the patriotic mind to recieve the 'Adfywiad Message', this time 'Victory Will Be Ours' but only if Patriots get their heads out of the sand, clear out of their minds ''Devolution Dilettante Distractions'' and stop worrying if their ''Cilt'' hem lines are too short or their legs too hairy. Then patriots might see the WRITTING ON THE WALL! which says to them, ARISE OR SEE WALES DIE!

What's this about me and my ''Phobia'' of Kilts, I have no problem with Kilts as long as they are on Scotsmen and not Welsh men seeking to bathe in well deserved Scottish bravery which is associated with their Kilt. The whole 'Cilt Cymraeg' business I find at best no more than nonsensical ''Cambrian Commercialism'' but at worse when it becomes attached to promotion of a Spuedo Patriotism and the phoniness of the so called ''Knights of St David with a dubious beginnings and devious workings in semi secracy in advance of ''Christian charity?'' However, when such advances via ''Poodles'' and ''Dupes'' a misleading patriotism that I label ''Tartan Taffery'', then I just want to throw up! I am sure most patriots will too, when the so called ''Knights of Saint David'' are fully exposed for what they really are. Then dear Patriots you might and may decide for yourselves the big question: HAVE YOU BEEN NOT ONLY BEEN ''DUPED'' BUT ALSO PERHAPS ''MANIPULATED'' Like this nice ''Wee Drummer Boy'' of The 'Cambria Band'. Yes! Adam Phillips of 'Balchder Cymru', Flintshires erstwhile ''Freedom Fighter'' but now it seems wanting nothing else in life but to be a ''Sqeaky Clean'' boy in the ''Tartan Taff'' band of the Cambrian Legion? So sad, I had Adam, Andrew and the ''Cobbler'' down for being the future great leaders of the next Adfywiad Gwladgarol in years to come, of all the ''Young Turks'' they had the best ''full on'' patriotic potential, who with the rest of the 'Balchder Boyos' could have replaced in time all of us, ''Yesterday's Men'' but no, so, whom now will awake and arise to patriotically couragously commit to Adfywiad Gwladgarol Cymru?

.

To conclude may I say there is no truth in the rumour that my hostility to 'Kilts' comes from the fact that I am Merthyr born and it's in my genes to remember that it was ''Kilted Highlanders'' that marched from Brecon through the ''Workers Barrio'' of Cefn on into Merthyr Tudful. There stationed at the Castle Hotel about mid day of 3 June 1831 on ''Bloody Friday'' opened fire on protesting workers and people killing over 28 workers and people arisen to struggle for personal liberty and freedom from oppression.

Lotta Continua!
