Hope you have a good Xmas, am not particularly into this Christian Festival but it's hard to ignore and thus the seasons greetings. Next year is of course 40 years on from Adfywiad'69 the year 
of Welsh Resistance to the imposition of an English pretender as Prince of Wales, and also it marks the conclusion of a most significant short chapter in not only Welsh Resistance to the 1969 Investiture that took place in Caernarfon on 1st July of that year but 1969 also marked conclusion of radical nationalist campaigns to defend our native language, culture and country from oppression and exploitation. The years 1962 to 1969 also witnessed a militant struggle to liberate our Country form English Rule but which sad to say concluded in defeat in that year, with the surrender of the FWA Commandants at Swansea Crown Court on 1st July 1969 and later with the arrest of John Jenkins of Mudiad Amdiffyn Cymru, this 'Welsh War' came to it's end.
.
I myself made no surrender! and thus was imprisoned for a further three months (nine in all) but was to accept the fact that from lessons learnt, for myself any thought of 'Armed Struggle' was over. But my patriotic struggle was far from over and neither had my campaigning years come to their conclusion, 40 years on and I am still fit at 60 plus for more campaigning. However, it was my two years of exile in Ireland late 1969 to 1972 which was to politically radicalise me ''left ward' but at the same time bring with me back from Ireland two ideas that became major successful Patriotic Initiatives. They were the wearing of the Ivy as an act of Remembrance and with it the eventual establishment of the National Commemoration Association, later COFIWN and the other being Left Political Initiatives that led to first the WELSH SOCIALIST VANGUARD and later in time the first CYMRU GOCH.
.
The history of all this you will find in my other blogs as Cofiwn Archive, Adfywiad Cilmeri and not least in my ALTERNATIVE WELSH NATIONAL MOVEMENT & STRUGGLE history Archive blog plus of course in the book to Dream of Freedom by Roy Clews and Freedom Fighters by John Humphries, I am at present reading and will review this latter book in a post in my blog THE WELSH PATRIOT in the new year. Plus no doubt you will find much to illuminate you in my main blog WELSH REMEMBRANCER, but regards this blog ADFYWIAD GWLADGAROL, sad to say I have come as far as I can, it's intention was to prompt and promote the continuing concept of Cofiwn style campaigning against CEREBRAL COLONIALISM but at same time supporting other campaigns against Oppression and Exploitation, as not least destruction of our Heritage in the Landscape etc by such as Windmills or whatever? Including most importantly protection of Welsh Battlefields from Highway & Housing Developments etc.
.
All in all, this ''New Movement'' I was attempting to motivate into existence was to take Mudiad Cofiwn in it's broadest sense as a template, but adding to it a dash of some old PATRIOTIC FRONT idealism and enthusiasm. Then taking inspiration from movements as The Black Panthers, American Indian Movement and Barrior Warriors de Azlan based in California and other USA states, these latter two 'indigenous' USA Movements, I urge deserve your immediate close attention. Of all organisations in Wales, it was possibly 'Balchder Cymru' which may have been the best basis as platform for development along lines I have been proposing in this blog and I gave them time to see where they were heading. Unfortunately it was no where really, they just hung themselves with the long piece of rope I had played out to them in hope they could grasp some fundamentals but as with the late but not lamented Cymru Rydd, Balchder just belches poseur patriotism and meanders around in it's own dose of ''Cymric Republican Confusions'' and ''Knee Jerk Patriotism''.
.
Unfortunately, I do not have time anymore to pursue such ''esoteric'' Patriotic causes and campaigns, as it looks as if all my blogs will have to come down by Easter 2009 latest for verity of reasons. Not least given fact of so much on my plate regards completion of archiving and writing of books I doubt if I will bother to put these blogs back up again. Rather, somewhere down the road, post 2011 I shall start up again and more likely be focusing toward the left and more ''exoteric'' left radicalism of an 'ADFYWIAD GOCH' as being at present motivated via my RED REMEMBERANCER blog which is receiving more interest and potential support that this ADFYWIAD GWLADGAROL Initiative.
.
So that's it! while this blog is still up make the most of it OK! if you want to use material from this blog, please seek permission for fotos but other wise re text, just credit source please. Sorry but, I doubt if I have time to answer queries but you can try me? No, I cannot attend meetings or speak at such and please note I oppose ''Leadership'' notions and have no time for ''National Committees'', keeping in mind I favour community based AUTONOMOUS ACTION and same regards Agit - Prop Campaigning and struggle. Not least note, I have little time for Cultural Nationalism, Pink Socialism, Bleeding Heart Liberals, Professional Pacifists, Retro & Romantic Republicans, Bourgeoisie Bastards and Crachach Cronies, Politicians and 'BRITS' et al....You know; the 'GOBS' and 'Devolution Dilettantes', not forgetting all those 'Poseur Knee Jerk Patriots' but worse than they even, the bloody 'FENCE SITTERS'. Those who cannot ever truly cross the line or cannot really stand up for something special and thus fall for anything, if you get my drift!
.
I want to stress that all true Adfywiadwyr Gwladgarol must be 'Internationalist' in the spirit of the Radical Republican Revolutions of 1848 the 'Spring of Nations'. If being Republican is to mean anything then consider the 'Republicanism' of Mazzini, the Italian Socialist Revolutionary, and last but not least remember we Adfywiadwyr Cymreig must follow in the footsteps of Glyndwr's ''Bare Foot Welsh Doggies'' and that indeed we are ''Brothers & Sisters of the Ox''. So, got all that? now you perhaps, take it from there!.
.
As for all this 'Welsh Monarchist' stuff, generally speaking I have a great interest in Medieval Welsh History but got myself stuck with Cofia 1282 and all that, in the 60's and during the later 'Cofiwn Years' but it serves as an ANTI - ENGLISH MONARCHY Platform Purpose, whilst the Cilmeri Cenotaph is as much now a memorial to the Adfywiadwyr Gwladgarol and Freedom Fighters of that forgotten Welsh War 1962 - 69 and later Meibion Glyndwr ''Arson War'', as it is for Llywelyn III - the Last Prince of Gwynedd. Last but not least do remember Year Zero for radical Nationalists is, lets face it is 1400 or perhaps more so 1831.
.
Hopefully you will have a good Adfywiad Gwladgarol 2009, remember OPPOSE THE ENGLISH MONARCHY AND RESIST THE IMPOSITION OF ANOTHER INVESTITURE OF ANOTHER ENGLISHMAN AS PRINCE OF WALES. DO NOT FORGET MORE WILL BE ACHIEVED BY PATRIOTIC PROTEST THAN ANY WIMP WELSH PETITIONS AS PUT FORWARD BY ''CAMBRIANISTAS''. If you continue to raise a patriotic stink through the first half of 2009, the Colonial Establishment will think twice about commemorating Carlo's Investiture'69 and will then be less likly to invite him to visit Caernarfon Castle. on or about 1st July. C'mon Compatriots, I have done my bit, now you rise to the occaission and keep up the Patriotic Protest Pressure, if nothing else via the Ivy & Black Cross Campaign I have suggested in other posts. Whatever, also think of your own ideas of protest and demonstration, use initiative, try not to be predictable, be creative, be imaginative but make it peaceful in your radical resisitance!
.
Me? Well I have been there and bought myself that T-Shirt thrice, now time for others to go and get themselves that T-Shirt, particularly the post 1969 generations. As it will be they who have to pass on the call of a future Adfywiad Gwladgarol Anti - Investiture Resistance Campaign, because most of our Adfywiadwyr '69 will be dead or maybe in a care home or otherwise unable to awake and arise to attempt thwarting another Investiture of another Englishman as Prince of Wales. Whatever, I will get to Abergele in July to make tributes to the Martyrs and just maybe make it to Caernarfon to place a Black Cross at Gates of the Castle, although I just maybe in the Languedoc for Cathar Crusade Commemoration?
.
Whatever, I am in the understanding that if Carlo attempts a Banquet at the Castle as at Castell Caerffili this year, Gwladgarwyr Gwynedd are up for protests and calling for a major mobalisation for a march on and around the Castle. I also have heard rumours on the grapevine that the Bards are to have a bash at some radical patriotic protest, maybe a poetry ''Sit in" at the Castle, who knows what will transpire, if Carlo attempts to have an Investiture'69 - 40th Anniversary celebration Banquet with a crowd of Crachach Cronies. I bet you can guess who would be on the guest list and whom would be up to entertain the English Prince of Wales. In this connection the word BOYCOTT comes to mind, yes Boycott the Bastards Businesses, Don't hire them but rather fire them! Oh yes! and do note DO NOT VOTE FOR THEM, got the message?
.
Alternativelly, if you and other Patriots are not up for an Adfywiad Gwladgarol 2009 then pop over to my Alternate Welsh History blog: THE ASSYRIAN ROD for some fantasy fiction writting and role playing, go on get creative and have some fun with out fear of the Bobbies bashing the shit out of you at any Caernarfon Castle Demonstration. Hope all this does not take any merriment out of the Xmas season for you and have you full of ANXT by the new year, but don't worry I am going away so not much more of this patriotic Radical Rabble Rousing to contend with!
