ADFYWIAD GWLADGAROL CYMRU: Coming Your Way Soon

Time and Tide does wait for no one, least of all me, so I had better throw out the TV and get in some Lucozde and Red Bull, then lock the door. That's the only way to do it, If I am to get all these postings done by Cilmeri Commemoration 41, 1967 - 2007. Otherwise, the 'ADFYWIAD GWLADGAROL CYMRU NEWYDD' will be delayed and we can't have that! can we? Mind you, even these future patriotic postings are no guarantee of any 'Adfywiad Gwladgarol' , at end of day that dear patriot will be entirely up to you? so Make History?Yes!

......................................

Fourth Coming Patrioting Postings are illustrated below with brief descriptions, and in some instances, I have added questions for you to answer. Hopefully, this will be of interest to you and encourage you to do some research into our history and heritage, that is of course for those questions that you have no instant answer for. There is another good Patriotic Purpose of course, that is if you answer majority of the questions then you are most definatly 'Adfywiadwr Gwlatgarol' material. If you answer over half the questions, then you definatly have potential to be an 'Adfywiadwr Gwladgarol' in the not too distant future. Get half right then there is hope of making it by the summer with a bit of effort but under half, then it's going to need some real enthusiasm plus effort to make it. hopefully, you will make it by Cilmeri Commemoration 2007? Please note that the illustration left opposite of an Eagle with a Red Letter (see wikapedia on web) is also our 'logo' for an AGC blog page dedicated to messages ok!

...................................For Postings Read On:

'Ditch the Duster'
Campaign has been
launched in Caerdydd
on 4 Chwefror 2007,

Photo Report Soon. Campaign continues.

Q: What are the origins of the 'Three Feathers'?

..............................................POSTINGS INFO CONT:

......................................................... 2: Welsh Outlaw Traditions, the 14th century witnessed an huge rise in woodland outlaws brought about by a verity of reasons, much do to with Colonialism but also for other reasons as decline in weather conditions leading to economic decline and plague. However, following the Owain Glyndwr war of Independance there was a rise in ''outlawry'' by 'Gwerin Owain' but this time mainly for patriotic political reasons. In development: 'Adfywiadwyr Woodland Outlaw Trailing & Skills.

Q: Can you name some famous medieval Welsh Outlaws?

.........................................................................................................3: Plots and Plotters in Welsh History, most infamous of which is the plot hatched in the 'Belfry of Bangor' of 1282. In this case the plotters were Cymry, the ancestors of later 'Crachach' conspired with the 'Anglo - Normans' against Llywelyn III . This of course led to the tradgety of 11 Rhagfyr 1282, there were many other plotters and plots in our history and not all so treacherous as aforementioned.

Q: How many plots and plotters are you aware of? Plus which Welsh Plotter was executed at place in photo and what does the memorial marker record? and where is it? (3 questions).

.....................................4: 'Dydd Dewi' What 'Adfywiad Gwladgarol' really need to do in their own communities, or if you are in Caerdydd 1 - 3 - 2007, HOW YOU CAN MAKE HISTORY?

Q: When was 'Dydd Dewi' designated a festival day worthy to celebrate?

Pic: Adfywiad Baner Dewi Sant.

.......................................................4: London...Is it our ''First City?'' are the Welsh aka 'Brythons', the true ''First Peoples Nation'' and should our 'First Peoples' History, culture and language be taught in all schools in what is now called ''England''. ('Penge First Peoples Nation Patriots' will enlighten you).

Q: Name LondonTafarn in Picture above? and which Welsh Man was executed not so far away? (Used to have a plaque but last time I passed bye, I think it had gone?) some where for our ''Peripheral Pint Pot Patriots'' to go on St Georges Day, get P*****! and rabidly sing Harri Web songs with bursts of ''long live Dewi Sant'' and shouts of ''Stuff Saint George''. You can all then die for Wales and do the Nationalist Cause a big favour, yes! a bit nasty that but there you go? ''Adfywiadwyr Gwladgarol' are not into ''Good Ole Boys''.

.................................................................................5: Churches and Chapels of Cymru/Wales, SAVE THEM! I am not particulary Religious and if I were, I think I may be more ''Pagan'' than 'Christian' but I cannot turn my back on the historical fact that our homeland was to a great extent a ''Christian Country'' until very recently. Further, it must be recognised that this ''Christian Country'' not only built an huge number of churches and chapels but many are of great signifigance historically and in terms of architecture. The church below is an example of what I mean in a number of ways, not least regards, I am of the oppinion that it just may have been witness to a most important historic treaty in our medieval history. This church is now in deep crisis as the 'Church in Wales' might just sell it off, so all should support the local campaign to save it for community uses and needs, this posting will deal with aforementioned matters.

Q: Can you name the Church? and possible the treaty it may be associated with?

.........6: Resurgents go a Rambling, I am of a growing oppinion that hopefully our growing ranks of 'Adfywiadwyr Gwlatgarol' will spend more time out walking in our wonderful country side rather than with ''Peripheral Pint Pot Patriots'' in pubs. Not only may such be a family or community affair but also an 'Adfywiadwyr Gwlatgarol Activity' too, so why not join your local 'Ramblers Branch' and whilst your mind is on such matters, take a look into the history of protest action waged by 'Ramblers' during the 1930's noting at same time I myself recently took part in a 6 mile walk against the ''windmilling'' of Y Blaenau Morgannwg which was organised by local ramblers. So? Yes! WALK FOR WALES OK! I shall develope this as an 'Adfywiad Initiative' and produce a guide of ''Patriotic Rambles'' that sooner as later all who wish to be 'Adfywiadwyr Gwlatgarol' must participate in, over the years ahead. Not needs be all but at least few?

Q: Picture is of an Embassy Glyndwr walk in area of Mynydd Hyddgen to see 'Cerrig Cyfamod Glyndwr', what was this event commemorating?

........................................................7: Teyrnas Brenhinol Cymru/Teyrnas Glyndwr. Proposed Cymric/Welsh Medieval Re - Enactment Societies, we support development of. To enthuse and encourage 'Adfywiadwyr Gwlatgarol' in this liesure activity with serious Patriotic Purpose, this posting will inform you on much to do with the world of 'Medieval Re - Enactment'.

Q: Above picture is of a ''Welsh Warrior Women'' of 'Teyrnas Glyndwr' at the annual Mis Medi 'Gwyl Glyndwr' at Abercraf organised by the Sleeping Giant Foundation. (See their Web Site). The question is what flag is she carrying?

........................................................................................................8: Our Greatest Welsh Warriors.

Q: Name at least one in each century between the 10th and the 15th? Apart from Owain Glyndwr, the greatest of all, who do you consider comes a good second. I have my favourite or rather favourite freedom fighting couple (That's given it away for sure!) but what about you? I may possibly enlarge on this and do a special feature for the 'Adfywiad Gwladgarol' Journal: THE WELSH PATRIOT (In development but already on line via Blooger: User Profile: Ysbryd Cofiwn) but such feature will comprise of contributions from patriots. Further Details Soon.

..................................................................9: Wales Must Have A King. This is the title of an article written for Y Faner 29 July 1953, yes year of Coronation of Elizabeth II of England. I do not know who wrote this article (can some one tell me?) as my copy is of a photo copy of a reprint of this article in a Plaid Cymru pamphlet entitled: TOWARDS WELSH FREEDOM. It is interesting to note that the author states he has been prompted to write this article because leading members of Plaid Cymru were calling for Welsh Nationalists to recognise the new Queen of England (Nothing changes does it?). I shall be reviewing this article and giving you my thoughts on it, am rather hoping that it will be of particular use to Adam Phillips and other ''Republicans'' of 'Balchder Cymru' who never ever commemorate any percieved ''Welsh Republican'' History or heroes as at least members of the first Welsh Republican Movement did, in time of proper and genuine Welsh Republicans as Cliff Bere, Harri Web and Pedr Lewis were to observe. Not Adam however, which makes me believe that he just uses the ''Welsh Republican'' label to impress real Republicans in Ireland and Scotland on one of his many visits to such. That other bunch of latter day posuer ''Welsh Republicans'' of the 'Welsh Republican Comment Forum Closet', like Adam/BC have a greater penchant for our rather ''Aristocratic'' medieval history rather than anything beyound that which might smack of ''Jacobinism''. I guess at heart they are indeed more of a possible ''Welsh Jacobite'' persuation but then if like Garibaldi you had choices to make, just which line would you cross if for fantasy sake, Owain Glyndwr did return? Discuss & Debate: Cymru Rydd - A Welsh Republic or Welsh Monarchy?

Q: Name two 18th Cent Welsh Jacobite Societies that supported the Scots Jacobite Cause? and name two famous Welsh Jacobites; one who became an executed 'Jacobite Martyr' and the other the most famous Welsh Mercenary after Owain Lawgoch?

.........................................10: Alternative Nationalist History 1966 - 1970 Continued: The Patriotic Front 1968, the Year of Revolution, Europe ''kicks off'', it's 1848 all over again and in Cymru? This time around 'Adfywiadwyr Gwladgarol' get ready for their own ''Welsh Revolution'' and Anti - Investiture Insurrection. Picture below shows 'Young Patriots League' members of the Patriotic Front in their 'Patriots Rest Club' in Pontnewydd, Cwmbran, Gwent. Yes! the ''Llywelyn Salute'' should have been higher and what about the armbands then? Sure" bit ''Dodgy'' looks a bit FASCIST to me? and I was there, just what was I thinking? Well! we were being fed a lot of ''Anti - Labourism'' from out of Plaid Cymru. A number of Nationalists in those times were also ''Anti - Socialist'', particularly the older 'Plaid Cymru 'Catholic Circle'' of Welsh Nationalists, then there was Cayo with his Polish Patriotism and his pro - Spanish Civil War FALANGE. My old comrade Toni (RIP) had done his ''National Service'' in Germany and came away with far too many German WWII ''Left overs'' plus a love for German Marching Music and Folk Lore. On top of all this whilst the 'Labour Left' was into Vietnam, Cuba and 'Ban the Bomb we were into the struggles in Quebec and Flanders. At the same time we were reading the memoirs of Begin/Israel and Grivas/Cyprus. However, were we ''Fascists'' no not really! I think to be a ''fascist'' one must really ''HATE'' and I do not think any of us really ''hated'' anything that much. After all, we are Welsh? However, I am glad I went into my self imposed Irish Exile and got ''Politically Straightened Out'' and left ''Knee Jerk Patriotism'' behind, sadly Adam/BC have read 'To Dream of Freedom'' and just want to relive it and not learn any of it's lessons?

Q: The Arm Band, the Patriotic Front Symbol there on, what does it mean?

................................................................................................................................12: Croes Naid and other stolen national treasures of Y Cymry. history and information of one of our most central Cymric Consciousness Campaigns, detalis in full will be posted or made available by other means during course of this year & beyond.

Q: How many stolen National Treasures are you aware of? Research Required.

.................OTHER POSTINGS ON LINE:

......I will add further information to below in due course, but right now I need a break!

13: Polish History.

.................................... 14: Macywfiad Newydd - Our Ieunctid Darogan?

.........................................................................................................................15: Welsh Ponies and other native animals still in the wild.

16: The Roots of 'Tartan Taffery' & The MHOSD?

.....................................................17: Fasiwn Adfywiadwyr Gwlatgarol, Red is Back for Cilmeri' 07?

........................................................................................................................18: Rugby's ''Bonet Rouge'' is our Radical Nationalist 'Adfywiadwyr Cap Goch', to mine I have pinned the '1282 Black Ribbon'. Alternativelly you may pin on the Yellow and Red 'Glyndwr Ribbon' for 16 Medi 'Dydd Glyndwr' or the Green, Red & White Welsh Republican Ribbon for 22 Chwefror 'Welsh Republic Day'. As well pin on a 'Fleur De Lys' on and about 'Dydd Y Coroni Glyndwr/Dydd y Senedd Glyndwr' which is on the 21 Mehefin and of course pin on an Ivy Leaf on and about 'Dydd Llywelyn' which falls on 11 Rhagfyr. Socialists could pin on an '1831 Red Ribbon' as from Mai 31 to Mehefin 3 in commemoration of the Merthyr Rising. If you want a ribbon for 'Dydd Dewi' make sure it's an 'Adfywiad Dewi Cross Ribbon' design as the flag, at all cost avoid leeks (Tudor Invention) and Daffodils a Lloyd George 'Investiture 1911' invention. White Eagles ok too! but in the 'Adfywiad Style', heraldic and otherwise but not the 'Eagle Resistance Cross'. Best of all for more regular wear the 'Adfywiad Sun Ribbon' is de riguer! Not too difficult to make. All such matters will be further detailed in the relevant postings. I shall also be painting a black cross over those three feathers.
