DITCH THE DUSTER CAMPAIGN -
Smashing Times Ahead! enjoy?
Decolonising Cymru takes many paths, the below is just one way you may symbolically do it, although if your already of a rather ''Bolshie'' Adfywiad Mind and have no ''Feeelthy Three Feather Stuff'' available, then get your friends and neighbours envolved. The below set of photos is inspired by images I have seen of people who have liberated their homelands, who then quickly setting about destroying the symbols of their servitude to foreign rule. One such great image which springs to mind, is of a former ''Yankee Colonial'', on a ladder taking an hammer and chisel to the Coat of Arms of the English Crown. This image was from an actual printed in a newspaper of the time, produced shortly after they had thrown out the ''Brits''. Of course you will have seen in recent years the newly liberated peoples of the Baltic Countries removing symbols of Soviet Oppression, smashing the 'Hammer and Sickle' and removing statues of Lenin and Stalin. I can think of a number of statues in Wales, I would like to see removed, don't think that day may never come? at the moment in Spain many of the Franco and Fascist monuements and Street Signs are being removed. In the ''New South'' of the USA, it's not only the ''Old South'' Confederate Flag which is being put aside but also campaigns are in motion to remove Confederate memorials and street signs etc. But more again on these matters, am at present researching for an article as background to our Anti- Colonial Struggle in Cymru/Wales. So read on and prepare yourself for some ''SMASHING TIMES''.
It's getting better by the minute..
God! That was good, try it some time? Of course I am a good 'Adfywiadwr' so I do not have this sort of ''Feeelthy Stuff'' in my home, but to get photos done quick for this feature, I had to buy above at stall in Cardiff Market. Only ''cheapo'' fridge magnets and it at least give me opportunity to tell the stall owner a piece of history, plus warn him that this ''Feeelthy Stuff'' is on way out, and he had better stock up with Glyndwr Souvenirs instead. Whatever, the exercise served it's purpose to illustrate some ideas below:
Adfywiad Pirate Protest Agit - Prop Action:
Campaign! Campaign! Campaign! Campaign!
Adfywiadwyr Gwlatgarol and other patriots do not just read this item and do nothing, please do something, in fact why not do a great deal as follows:
1: Tell one and all about this 'Adfywiad Gwladgarol' Anti - Three Feather Duster Campaign.
2: Contact your local media with letters and statements about the campaign asap.
3: Possibly organise local campaign groups, raise some funds to produce a leaflet, and take around to shops that sell this stuff. Call upon local people to boycott 'DO NOT BUY PRODUCTS WITH THE THREE FEATHERS ON THEM', Now take note this will not hurt Welsh businesses as most of the products involved are made in China, also as far as the shops and market stalls are concerned, who sell this stuff, they can in time sell products that have true patriotic Welsh symbols placed on them (Souvenirs Glyndwr).
4: If you happen to have clothing as Rugby caps and shirts, cover the offending symbol with a 'Black Reember 1284 Ribbon’. See already up and running 'Ditch the Duster' campaign postings in this Adfywiad Gwladgarol Cymru blog.Your reports would be welcome for posting up.
5: I do not intend to produce T-Shirts but they would be a good idea, see below design or make up your own. and then just go straight to your local 'Instant Print T-Shirt Printer' and have the design printed on a sweat or T-Shirt. This costs about £10:00 but so do many T-Shirts these days. I know that many 'Instant T-Shirt Printers' will offer discounts for group quantities or if you supply the T - Shirts. So go for it, try it out.
6: Amnesty Offered: C'mon admit it, many might have one kind of product or another in the house that bears the Three Feather Duster of the English Princes of Wales, as plates and mugs, key rings and fridge magnets etc. I mean products we cannot much self alter, unless you paint them out? Alternatively, we request one and all who can do it, to organise the opportunity for patriots and people to ''Dump the Duster'' in our ''Amnesty Campaign''. This may be organised easily enough at local events as major folk concerts, conferences and Eisteddfod, local or national or whatever means to make such possible. Just provide a bin and by various local means (Emails and text etc) invite people to deposit ''Duster Debris'' therein. When full take to local Council dump to get rid of, for ever. Send us photos of your Anti - Duster Dumping Campaign, also place up photos and information on your own websites and blogs.
7: Any other ideas, have you any? I have just had the afterthought, why not organise an 'Amnesty Campaign Conclusion' at Cilmeri Commemoration 2007. All ''Cilmeriaid'' during course of the year going all out to get piles of the ''Feeelthy Three Feather Stuff'' to dump in a bin at this annual rally of patriots, perhaps two bins will be needed? place them by the gateway entrence to the ''Sacred Acre''. But who will arrange this rather radical republican revolutionary action? Adam? Lockwood? Hinton? Petersen? or ap Sion? or may be Dr John 'Rocks' Davies? Prior to then, the Fflint Eisteddfod seems good place to carry out some positive Adfywiad Pirate Protest Agit - Prop 'Ditch the Duster' Bin Action? Maybe any number of societies could place 'Ditch the Duster Debris bins' on their stalls and inform their members of such, requesting they bring ''Duster Debris'' to the Eisteddfod to dump in these bins? Good idea, YES!
MATTERS TO KEEP IN MIND!
The Three Feathers is not a Welsh Symbol, so do not worry about accusations that you are ''un-patriotic'' as that would be a great nonsense, in fact the London Welsh adopted this symbol to not only protect their self vested interests in London at height of the first Scottish Jacobite Rebellions, first one 1715 and second 1745. These London ''Welsh Anglo - Saxon Protests'' not only wanted to prove they were loyal ''Anti - Catholic'' supporters of the English Hanoverian Monarchy, but at the same time they established the 'Society of Ancient Britons' which had much smug racism about it, as they were attempting to prove they were protestantly superior to their fellow Celts; Irish and Scots who happened to be Catholics. Thus our ''WASPs'' sought again to be most ''slavishly servile'' in desire to get into bed with our Saxon Neighbours, who had an awful lot of ''Shillings'' to fork out to the Welsh, to keep them very loyal to the English Crown. Most of the Welsh still are, but hopefully our 'Ditch the Duster' campaign might just help to undo this awful forelock Tugging Taffy Thraldom, we have been in since the times when we were following Owain Glyndwr and knocking bits out of the Saxons and Cymry loyal to Henry V. Many ''Turncoat Taffies'' treachously and foolishly followed Henry V in 1415 to Azincourt, their reward being St David's Day, as a day to celebrate the English Victory against our then, French Allies, yes! that's the truth, awful ain't it? We Welsh are so good, at ''Home Goals''. See references to Traitor Dafydd Gam and the hero Henry Gwyn in Owain Glyndwr Communicates blog. http://owain-glyndwr-embassyllysgenhadaeth.blogspot.com/

PS: Am having a rethink on referring to the Three Feathers as a ''Feather Duster'', after all it was the Coat of Arms of the 'Blind Knight of Bohemia', and I do not particularly want to insult his memory, after all he was a very heroic fella (remember he fought against the English at Battle of Crecy) and still is an hero to ''Pobl Bohemia''. Thus I must think on this and find out some more about the 'Blind Knight of Bohemia'.
