St DAVIDS DAY 2008: Welsh Republican Silence Says a Great Deal?

.

I would not say that there is a raging debate on the Welsh Web Pages regards matter of this years Dydd Dewi Parade 2008 in Caerdydd, my own oppinions should by now be well known. It was however, Socialists who first sparked off this years parade as being a ''Big Issue'' for some on the left, evolving out of a call by a left activist to demonstrate against what he seen as a NATIONALIST MENACE MARCHING on Cardiff. Myself in my earlier posts had not been so opposed to the Dewi Day Parade as I was last year, that was until I learnt of it's ''Politicisation'' in favour of PLAID PINK PACTERS at the Assembly of Appeasement with English Imperialism. It was however the Parade Organisers patronising of ENGLISH LORD 'Dic Sion' DAFYDD ELLIS THOMAS which turned me around to, not so much opposing the parade but nevertheless calling for various forms of PATRIOTIC REPUBLICAN ACTION. My thoughts on this has been made known in a number of blog posts, proposing a number of potential protest possibilities from boycotting to positive protest, not however, demonstrating against the parade but against English Lords, the Assembly and Devolution.

.

In main I have called upon Militant Nationalists and Radical Republicans to use the Dewi Day Parade as a platfom from which to make Call for Welsh Independence. In this, I see no reason why such should be looked upon as problematic by Welsh Patriots, not least those who are of self proclaimed Nationalist Republican Intent and purpose, or is that Patriotic posture and posing? However, whilst Socialist Forums continue to discuss and debate the virtue or vice of further ''politicising'' the Dydd Dewi Parade 2008, Nationalist Republicans are very quite, the cat seems to have cut their tounge? As Welsh Nationalist and Republican Blogs and Forums are very quiet on these Dydd Dewi Day matters arising, somehow I am not too suprised. Most Nationalists are just that Nationalists, usually ''Cultural Nationalists'' and not too political.

.

Those who appear radically political in demanding Welsh Independence are actually PLAIN MODERATE PLAIDWYR, if not PLAID PINK PACTERS. It would be wrong to call them all ''Crach Fodder'' but for the most part a great number are of the ''Wrap the Flag Around Me'' kind of patriot. I do not expect much Radical Nationalism from this quater, as if there was an oz of real radicalism in their bones, they would by now, be SCREAMING SAVE OUR SOVERIEGNITY and attempting to mobalise a mass MOVEMENT FOR WELSH INDEPENDENCE, but no! No such thing, and I am not holding my breath that they ever will?
.

But where are all those Welsh Republicans, former Cymru Rydd Members? Balchder Boyos and all who some what oddly proclaim their Radical Republicanism at the Annual ''Medieval Monarchist'' Rali Cilmeri. SILENCE!!! I think this tells me what I have always really known, and that is that really these ''Garibaldian'' Welsh ''Retrom'' Republicans are at end of the day, when all is said and done, are just ''DYED- IN- THE- WOOL- NATIONALISTS'', fin! Their constant referring to them selves as ''REPUBLICAN'' is simply to give themselves some kind of ''STREET CRED'' when indulging their Political Nationalist Fantasies fratenising with real Republicans in Ireland and Scotland, ain't that the truth?

.

There is however, a new Welsh Republican Initiative on the block. Keeping themselves ''Young Republicans'', their website looks pretty good and stands up to my rigourous inspection and now my expectancy. But will they be as the previous 'YOUNG REPUBLICANS', those who founded WRM I and fought for the Welsh Republic on the street in various Patriotic Protests and Demonstraions, as out lined in Cliff Bere's book 'YOUNG REPUBLICANS'. We shall see, in the mean time hopefully we will see they get a bit more chopsy about the matter of Dydd Dewi and that ENGLISH LORD AND HIS ASSEMBLY OF APPEASEMENT WITH ENGLISH IMPERIALISM, as I really cannot see the 'Balchder Boyos' up for any really Welsh Republican chatter any more, let alone REPUBLICAN ACTION, but I could be suprised!

Sir,I beg respectfully to bring to your notice, the fact, that on Saturday last, St Patrick's day, an army of young men, all or nearly all of Military age, most of them wearing Sinn Fein badges, and numbering 320, marched through the Streets of Tralee, headed by two bands, and at one or two points, cheering loudly for "Easter Week" of 1916. I presume you are aware that an extreme Anti-British spirit is growing rapidly amongst the lower and working classes, due in great measure to the belief amongst them, that the Government are afraid to deal with them, and due to the manner in which the Rebels were and are supported and represented in Parliament. As a humble member of the community, I beg to say that the Law-abiding and Loyal subjects, are living in daily fear of an outbreak of some kind, and many are surprised that in a time of War, when the Empire is threatened, an Army of men should be allowed to march "four deep" through the public Streets, and demonstrate their feelings by badges and cheers as they have done, and gathering in recruits for the Sinn Fein or Gaelic League forces, both of which are thoroughly Anti-British; and allow me to say without fear or contradiction from those who know the Country Districts, that the hatred of everything English, which was nourished under the late Regime in Ireland, is becoming more general and more pronounced every day; and I think the humblest member of the Community, as a loyal subject of His Majesty, has a right to expect the Government to deal with that which is a daily menace to the peace and well-being of His Majesty's subjects.I am,Sir.Your obedient Servant.(Sgd) Wm. HuggardThe Right Hon, The Chief Secretary.The Castle. Dublin.

THE GREAT DEWI DEBATE RAMBLES ON BUT WELSH REPUBLICANS ARE NOTICIBLE BY THEIR SILENCE, What Nothing To Say On These Matters? Whatever it seems to be grabbing attention of Socialists world wide? Maybe there will be a demonstration, myself, I repeat, oppose Demonstrations against the Parade but do not oppose Protests against English Lords, any time and any place, if your up for it? do it! I have been there and bought the T-Shirt, your turn now maybe?

.

However, the below has come to my attention from out of a web forum (see below) which is somewhat disturbing, I really cannot see it as being true, surely not? Read the below, and note in particular that part marked in red. This must be some kind of 'BLACK PROPAGANDA', if not true, then parade Organisers need to issue public statements refuting it. If it is true, and I cannot see the ''Nationalist/Republican'' Dydd Dewi Parade organisers being so foolish as this, but if it is true? then it might mean that mass Nationalist, Republican and Socialist demonstrations against the parade might indeed have to be called for? SOME ONE CHECK THIS OUT AND LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS ANY TRUTH IN IT? Now Read On>>>>

Udo Erasmus commits a cardinal sin for a socialist: failing to differentiate between an oppressed and an oppressor nation. While it is true that Wales is now an integrated part of the British state and is not oppressed as a nation by England today (though a disturbingly high proportion of Welsh leftists seem to think there's a direct parallel with Israel and Palestine), it certainly was oppressed as a nation historically, aspects of anti-Welsh prejudice and marginalisation still exist and the right of the Welsh people to self-determination, if we so choose, is unquestionable. International socialism will never be achieved by trampling on the national aspirations of smaller nations or by demeaning their sense of national identity. One of Lenin's first acts after the 1917 revolution was to support the secession of Ukraine – a measure later reversed by Stalin, using a similar justification to Udo Erasmus here. This doesn't mean that socialists should advocate independence for Wales – far from it. Most Welsh workers recognise that their interests will not be promoted by secession. And the idea promoted by the Fourth International (Pabloism) that petit-bourgeois independence movements would lead the way to socialism proved disastrously wrong. The most striking thing about this year's St Davids Day events, however, is that they intend to celebrate the supposed glorious work done by Welsh soldiers in the UK army invading two sovereign nations. What socialists should be doing, rather than making ultra-left calls to abandon national sentiments altogether, is to call on the people of Wales to boycott the event involving the Royal Welsh regiment on the grounds that it actually celebrates national oppression.Anyone agreeing with this is warmly invited to visit http://cardiffpr.wordpress.com/

The Right Republican Idea!

.
There was a radio 4 phone in today and the dissatisfaction felt across the UK with the political system was very obvious, although some of the proposed solutions to it were a little strange. I want to get people to question the whole basis of the system, and although this is not strictly speaking a Welsh national question, I think that yet another opportunity is slipping away as the Assembly beds itself down in its nest in the corner of the patch of weeds cultivated by the British establishment as the UK state. Without addressing the issue of independance, Welsh politicians could have been struggling to set out a new foundation for government in Wales upon which we might have erected a new kind of legislative framework directed by more a more truly representative and accountable democracy. Instead, steeped in the practices of UK government, Welsh politicians of all parties, despite their protestations of divisions and differences, have maintained themselves as a tightly disciplined cohort that has defended the staus quo. Instead of a new innovation in governmental organisation, we have merely restored some of the powers that were stripped from local government by Thatcher and awarded them instead to the Welsh Assembly which has now proven itself to be nothing but an overblown 1970's county council with all of the old problems and several new ones thrown in for good measure. We have been fobbed off with the idea that we now have a national government, and unsurprisingly those who are obsessed with their Welsh nationality are very pleased by this, but those of us who are obsessed with how badly Wales is governed can only be angry with those who wrap themselves in the dragon flag of the pricipality as if it justified all that they have done.

A REPUBLICAN COVENANT IS REQUIRED!

.

I am very concerned about the state of 'Alternative National Movement and Struggle' in Cymru/Wales, over the years it's had it's up and downs but now I consider it's going into terminal decline and is not far off a deathly demise. The AWNM&S I am talking about is the one that I deal with in my AWNM&S Hist Archive Blog. http://awnms.blogspot.com/ , or as Robert ap Steffan might call it ''Peripheral Patriotism'', he being such a DYN PLAID. The final fizzle out was with WIP and the Census Campaign, since Alternative Nationalists aka ''Peripheral Patriots'' have witnessed come to the fore, to lead them forward, such as Cymru 1400 and Balchder Cymru. The former seems to be still there but it's ''American Off Spring'' seems to have sunk?. For a short while Cymru 1400, Balchder Cymru and a Red Dragon Movement merged to found a MUIADIAD RHYDDHAD CYMRU that all fell apart, as it's founders must have realised it was not but a ''Retro/Romantic'' Fantasy.

.

However, a positive outcome is that BALCHDER CYMRU survives and survives in a postive fashion as what I consider to be, at least an 'Anti - Colonial Cymric Consciousness Campaign'. If not the Movement of National Liberation their founders thought they might be? I say postive but also practical, as BC activists are involved in both protest campaigns on a number of issues as Hafod Rubbish Dump, in practical terms one cannot fail to admire their contribution to Band Cambria. They also make good effort regards commemorative activities regards Merthyron Abergele and Rali Cilmeri. I cannot fail, despite some misgivings call upon Patriots to join or support them in one area of their work or another, but my main misgiving with BC remains regards their pretense at being a ''Republican Movement''. Why? I have gone into this elsewhere, and their are the same criticism I made of that other ''Retro/Romantic Republican Grouplet'' known as Cymru Rydd, now demised with it most of it's members back in PINK PACT PLAID.
.

.

More than likly there were could patriots within the ranks of Cymru Rydd as there are in BC but they all need to get this claim to being ''Welsh Republicans'' sorted out. Lets clarify one thing first, so you all know where I am coming from on this matter, My love affair with our nations Medieval History, well really Welsh History in general, not least Maritime which as of yet I have not done much with in my blogs, but will sooner as later. In this Welsh history work , near enough for much of my adult life, post Adfywiad Gwladgarol 69, I have been involved with the Cofiwn Cymric Consciosness Struggle, see http://cofiwn.blogspot.com/ but now my medieval work is taken up there with archiving. I have very much in recent years been involved in I'r Gad Welsh Battlefield Campaign, see http://brwydr.blogspot.com/ but that is coming to a close as it's work is near completed, to be taken up and exspanded on by a, to be established later his year WELSH MILITARY HISTORY SOCIETY. As ''Political'' enough much of this work of mine might appear, basically it's just the radical way I go about doing much that presents it in such way, for my really political history area, you should take a look at my RED REMEMBRANCER blogging at http://redremembrancer.blogspot.com/

.

Politically, I am way to the left, that surely must be coming through in much that I say, particularly regards 'Y Crachach' and my VKC of ''Crach Fodder'' my collective name of ''Devolution Dilettantes'', ''Tartan Taffs'' and of course ''Good Ole Boys''. Indeed the more I read of Post Devolution Wales and it's politics the more I move towards an 'Autonomist' Political position, not quite Ian Bones beyond Anarchism Class War, although I have made nods to need for some ''Crachwar'' in Cymru. I am more thinking in direction of Lotta Continua, unfortunatly those who might be some where in the same direction, as possibly Terry Banfield of the Gwent Anarchist Group. Also many of those who work in and around the 'Gagged' South Wales Anarchist/Autonomist Network are on the whole not interested in any real identification with any understanding of our history as I consider a pre-requisite for any Political struggle in Wales, even an Anarchist one.

.
I do not make a virtue of going around pro-claiming myself to be a ''Welsh Republican'' but I am, but unlike other patriots who proclaim such, I have a clear understanding that those who consider them selves to be such, really need to give at least a little interest to what may be percieved as a Welsh Republican History. Not, just spout off about being ''Welsh Republicans'' but only make appearences at Annual Cilmeri Rally. and over latter years, turn out as ''Republican'' hangers on to the tail of the annual Dydd Dewi Parade in Caerdydd. I cannot wait to see, fotograph and film this years Parade down the Bay to steps of Assembly to see just how many so called ''Welsh Republicans'' both 'Old & New' are on the parade. That includes any Balchder ''Welsh Republicans'', plus of course John 'Sion' Roberts and his ''Hornets'' of MACYWIAID ANNWFAN - The Future! HHHhhhmmm!!! We will see?

.

.

So, what about Rali Cilmeri, well attending is alright, just keep in mind the only real purpose of Republicans possibly attending now, is that it, once radically restored, remains a RALI ADFYWIAD GWLADGAROL thus a platform for promoting ANTI - ENGLISH MONARCHY STRUGGLE and ANTI - INVESTITURE/PRETENDER CAMPAIGN IS SUSTAINED AND ENDURES IN READINESS FOR THE DAY THAT INVESTITURE III IS ANNOUNCED. Those who want to just remember Llywelyn III and who have nothing else in mind, note he was killed at Aberedw, not Cefn y Bedd, time you understood your history, see COFIWN ARCHIVE at http://cofiwn.blogspot.com/

.

All that aside, lets get back to some serious Welsh Republicanism, given the fact that the ''Remnants'' of ''Retro/Romantic'', are fast becoming now ''Crach Fodder Welsh Republicanism'', much same as the ''Good Ole Boys''. Perhaps even worse, is there is far too much of the ''Brit Guardianseque Republicanism'' about for any good purpose. I really consider it is time that those who really seriously consider WELSH REPUBLICANISM to be an essential Political idea and initiative to advance in Theory and Practise, then they must ''Sieze the Time!''. Not at any Rali Cilmeri, nor at the Dydd Dewi Parade in Caerdydd but by on 22 February 2008 they journy to Abergwuan, visiting grave of Henry Davies to lay tributes, and then making way to Garreg Wasted. There to consider and declare for a Welsh Republican Covenant based on the essential Welsh Republican Principles over printed on picture of W.R. Tri - Colour below:

.

.
To be Discussed & Debated and drafted at Bont Henry Davies on 22 - 02 - 2008? Then on to Garreg Wasted for Declaring of this Welsh Republican Covenant, maybe? See, previous posts regards directions.

.
Well! hopefully, I have shaken the ''Welsh Republican Tree'' enough to see something postive and practical done. I have done the Garreg Wasted trip, it's someones elses turn now, but note, treat this as informal consideration, after which I really would suggest a more formally organised WELSH REPUBLICAN CONGRESS is called to take place a Caerffili later in the year, to finnaly formulate and write in stone a WELSH REPUBLICAN CONVENANT. Most who percieve and proclaim themselves as real republicans may sign up to to this Covenant. Following which perhaps this annual WELSH REPUBLICAN CONGRESS would sustain the ideals of Welsh Republicanism and development of Welsh Republican Philopsophy and Theory towards, leading towards the revival of a Welsh Republican Political Platform, struggle and in time refounding of a restored WELSH REPUBLICAN MOVEMENT.
.
So, foward, the Struggle can begin on Dydd Dewi? or you can just meander along and participate in Dydd Dewi Parades, as what looks to be the beginning and end any real Patriotic Struggle? Alternativelly, get with the Welsh Republican Convention, and get cracking on making Welsh Republican Flags to symbolically wave around the Assembly of Appeasement on Dydd Dewi 2008. However, not on the Dydd Dewi Parade, or from within it as protest against English Lord Dic Sion Dafydd. All Nationalist Protesters need to Protest seperatly, so they and Welsh Republicans are not accused of being ''Dewi Day Showcase Spoilers'' or get confused with those who may be holding an Anti - Nationalist counter Demonstration against the Dydd Dewi Parade (see ref to on the web).
.

.
Possibly Welsh Republicans should just set up a WELSH INDEPENDENCE PICKET PROTEST outside the Assembly in the Morning, certainly between 12 Noon - 1:oopm, to greet Dic Sion Dafydd as he arrives to greet the Parade. There after cease protesting, so that the Paraders can so listen with out any protest or heckling, as climax of their parade to gather before ENGLISH LORD DIC SION DAFYDD! I suggest then that Radical Republicans and Militant Nationalists head back to down for a Social gathering at Tafarn Cayo, if anyone wishes to organise meetings or private socials then function rooms may be booked at Tafarn Cayo.

.

Such Welsh Republican Protests at Assembly of Appeasement on Dydd Dewi? why not make a bit of an effort to make INDEPENDENCE BANNERS, of the large two pole kind, as shown below. Note there will be stacks of media down, in and around the Assembly on Dydd Dewi, wonderful opportunity of occaision to carry out some AGIT - PROP to draw attention to the DEMAND FOR INDEPENDENCE. Go on, make the effort, I do, now it's some one elses turn, yes!

Recieved this item by Round Robin Emailing from a concerned Patriot.
.
A matter of major concern to North East Wales.

.

It is called the West Cheshire/North East Wales sub regional plan. Its aim is to define a clear identity for the counties of Wrecsam, Flintshire Denbighshire (and Conwy to a certain extent) with the North West English areas of west Cheshire and Merseyside. The plan will see a combined strategy as regards housing, development, transport and employment across the sub region, it will do so by guiding planning at UDP/LDP level. This plan also has links with the Liverpool City region plan as well. I believe the plan was adopted in 2006 but no one seems to have heard about it, including our Plaid AM for North Wales Janet Ryder, who is currently looking into the plans after being informed of the extent of them.
.
Below is a map of the plans, looks very much like a map of invasion to me. They only hint at the extent of the plans, if you look at UDP/LDP plans for each county you will see the extent of what they intend to do. From what I understand, the Wales spatial plan and North west spatial plan have been designed based on this. This sub regional plan came about after something called the Mersey Belt Study (2002), its aim was to address land supply issues for the region and made recommendations about forming a subregion between West Cheshire and North East Wales to address some of the problems. As well as more development for Wrecsam and Flintshire, they intend to open up access to the coast road in order to increase development ‘westwards’. These plans have no regard to Welsh identity or language and will see one of the biggest influxes of English into North Wales that we have ever seen. It is a massive threat to welsh identity. The most shocking thing is that from what I can gather, the plans have already been passed. They have been made in conjunction with, and approved by the Welsh Assembly and our local councils.

.

.
This also goes a long way to explain the attitude of the local press over recent years. There has been constant propaganda about our links with the North West of England and the Wrecsam Chester nonsense that they constantly push at us and city status, also more recently the north Wales South Wales divide. These plans have been in the background since 2004 so that explains a few things. They intend to make Wrecsam a strategic centre for the region and it will be key to the process. This is colonisation at its most obvious.
.
Here are some links for some online info, there is plenty on the web about it. I think it’s very important that we spread the word about this and get people clued up about what is going on. We also need to get some discussion going about how we intend to tackle this.

So, check into the following link: Balchder Cymru -The Pride Of Wales! "Fe Godwn Ni Eto -We Shall ...

Note ideas as how to deal with this issue are called for, first thing that comes to my mind is organisation of a major Poster Placard campaign with slogans to suit. Monmouthshire is going the same way as North East Wales with Bristol the ''Chester of the South East''. The information supplied above makes a startling visual presentation but the reality is that Powys is becoming a ''Sais Kossovo'', certainly many border areas are lost, as our Welsh Frontier is pushed further west. Soon I dare say the Cambrian Mountains will be the final frontier with only the Tiroedd Cunedda aka in the middle ages Pura Wallia left to Y Cymry, well almost but not completly so, as the South will remain 'Silurian' too many of us to expell, the Romans tried that and failed.

But what do you do? For sure the Welsh need more births, as Sion Jobbins as pointed out, we must also focus not just on inward migration but outward migration. Lets not go down the Mewnlifiad and Meibion Glyndwr ''Arson War'' road again, but be more positive in response as were Bretons regards their campaign to highlight the number of Bretons leaving Brittany. In this respect we need to campaign for jobs to keep the Welsh at home, not least the sort of businesses that will make sure the well educated find work in Wales. Further, focus on the ANTUR GADARN as our own Mondragon Cymru, check out this link: Mondragón Cooperative Corporation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Mondragón Cooperative Corporation (Spanish: Mondragón Corporación Cooperativa - MCC) is a group of manufacturing and retail companies based in the ...en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mondragón_Cooperative_Corporation - 26k - Cached - Similar pages. We also need to improve transport links between all areas of Wales, not least of course with a national high way between North and South, not least we need to encourage 'Internal Tourism', Sian Ifan of Embassy Glyndwr is working on ideas in this direction via CENEDL GLYNDWR blog http://cenedl.blogspot.com/ The Welsh People of the North East must come to know of their own Welsh history via commemorative events as at Hope and at Ewloe recently, read of via this link: Balchder Cymru -The Pride Of Wales!

BEWARE THE TREACHERY IN THE BELFRY - again! & again! & again!

Beware – The Treachery in the Belfry?

Cerebral Colonialism – Plantation of the Welsh Mind.

The struggle of Celtic Cymric Consciousness against the Cambro – British Crachach, looking behind behind their ‘Welsh Masquerade’, in truth they are Agents of Anglicization, Acculturalisation and Neo – Colonialism.

Issue no 2 of Ein Gwlad, regards article ‘Plantation’ by Thomas G. Jones, I do not totally disagree with views expressed by the author, only concerned with singular nature theme of the article re the way social-engineering by English Imperialism seeks ‘Homogenization’ – the de facto elimination of the Welsh identity. The article largely concerns itself with the subject of English ‘White Settler’ inward migration and establishment of a ‘White Raj’ colonial elite in sectors of employment. The article goes on to inform that along with trends in outward migration are not so much ‘Homogenization’ but rather destruction of the Welsh Nation – making of it a region of England by means of population changes on an huge scale. The truth and reality is, that the Welsh identity is anyway being eliminated and the Welsh people being made ‘Homogeneous’ with the English be they leave or stay in Wales. The point is that even if you reversed the massive socio – economic motivated shift of populations and the inward and out ward migration problems were brought to an end the process of making the Welsh ‘Homogeneous’ with the English would continue. The end result of course would be the same – Destruction of the Welsh Nation by destruction of the Welsh identity via means of Plantation of the mind – Cerebral Colonialism.

Some see this as a Welsh language issue alone but I have my doubts about this for sound historical reasons, it is more than a matter of anglicization and acculturalisation. There is something more insidious at work in eroding the Welsh identity and that is, cerebral colonialism or if you wish to give it a more relevant name to it’s present day motivation, then it’s called Tony Blairs ‘Big Tent’ philosophy and policies, The agents of this, are not as you think “the wicked English” but in reality our own poisonous parasitical crachach, particularly post Devolution ‘Crachach Newydd’, not least those who find succor in the media and arts. .Often they use multi-culturalism and also Political Correctness turned on it’s head to achieve their own ends but then also serve imperialist ends. Interestingly, the issue of T.B’s ‘Big Tent’ is much debated in England but I have not heard as of yet being discussed in a Welsh context. Our crachach chattering classes are scared to touch this ‘hot potato’, being so gutless as they are.

A clear example of the above can be seen in the new policies of ‘Sgript Cymru’ – “Creating a new Mythology for Wales” now what the hell do you suppose that means? Yes it is the same ‘Sgript Saxon Cymru’ that propagated that scurrilous Anti-Cayo crap – so called play = Brit Propaganda, still an agency of Imperialism. For the most part Sgript Saxon Cymru’ is as it’s Crachach forefathers desirous of shaping contemporary Wales in their image, whilst sponging more grants by appealing to so called pluralism, multi-culturalism and best of all sponging on the backs of minority issues –even the most distressed elements in society. In this connection the whole crachach edifice follows the same well-trod pathways to self-aggrandizement.

‘Money’ that’s what is in it for the crachach - whilst doing England’s bidding.

“Creating a new Mythology for Wales” Now if the same thing was said about Black or Asian identities there would be uproar, but they can get away with it in Wales, why? largely because of it’s our own treacherous Crachach behind it – you better believe it! We Welsh are a people who have been denied and still are being denied our history and heritage and here we have this “Sgript Saxon Cymry’ crowd quite happy to collaborate in the advance of cerebral colonialism. The truth is that since Elizabeth I bribed the bards and the religious establishment in the 16th century, the Crachach have known which side of their bread is buttered and that only limited cultural nationalism is o.k. but not political nationalism. You see the Crachach have got what they want, now the name of the game is ‘keep the English sweet’ and we will get even more rewards – Millennium Dome II down in ‘Bae Caerdydd’ is about as big as the bribes can get to help destroy our Nation. However, continued funding of that – will come only at a price – subservience to the ‘Saxon Shilling’.

‘Sgript Saxon Cymru’ is not alone in advance of this Cerebral Colonialism, other chief agents are with out doubt BBC WALES, who have totally dumbed down on real Welsh Content of it’s programming and then not least our so called “Welsh Intelligentsia” and Arts Establishment are not free of crimes of collaboration with colonialism? Is it not time we challenged them and found out and then exposed they? The struggle against ‘Plantation of the Welsh mind’ bust me a vigourous campaign against Cerebral Colonialism which must be to the fore in our struggle to deliver Wales out of the bondage to English rule. Oh yes! also out of the grasp of the greedy grasping crachach ‘Grant Grabbers and Culture Vultures that prey on the body of our homeland and misery of our people.

So, as much as I may sympathize with views expressed in the article ‘Plantation’ in Ein Gwlad no2, sorry but it is Plantation of the Welsh Mind – Cerebral Colonialism that should concern us more, as once Cymric Consciousness is eroded, that really is the end- full stop. So what we going to do about it? Well either, the now being talked about ‘Anti – Colonial Civil Rights Movement realizes that it must most urgently take aboard aforementioned matters or just lead us down a garden path – seeking job opportunities for the middle classes (The neo- colonial elite). If this “New Movement” cannot rise to the occasion then what of ‘Ymgyrch Treftadaeth Cymru’? or perhaps better would be ‘Pride in Wales’, what ever the reality is, we need most urgently to be established a true ‘Cymric Consciousness’ movement and struggle, Perhaps resurrect Cofiwn? But much more radical, modeled may I dare suggest on the American Indian Movement and Black Panthers.

*Beware – The treachery in the Belfry? Refers to the fact that history records that in either one of two historic occasions, there was a plot by Welsh traitors to betray Wales, no one is really sure if this refers to Gruffydd ap Llywelyn or Llywelyn ap Gruffydd – of little matter as the reality is in both case they were betrayed by fellow Welsh men. This is the hard truth of our history, constant betrayal and it still goes on today and for the most part it’s the Crachach who are the traitors and betrayers. So wake up and deal with them first or anything else you endeavor to succeed with will always be undermined. There can be no unity with traitors and those who preach such unity are traitors themselves and you better believe it! So wake up my fellow compatriots, the propagators in Wales of ‘cerebral colonialism’ are our own crachach colonial elite – all of them, not just ‘Sgript Saxon Cymru’ but the Educational establishment, the Arts establishment in particular – all those Culture Vulture Grant Grabbers so eager to pick up the Saxon shilling, and that’s the truth..

Gethin Gruffydd.
