WYLIT, WYLIT LLYWELYN: Don't cry for me Caernarfon Castle - as I hate you!

.
Sigh! Long drawn out sigh! just discovered this long piece of 'intellectuality' on the web (see link below), I am partly sighing because I do not have the time to read it. But having had a quickie suss I came accross the 'over egging' of the role of CyIG in the Anti - Investiture Campaign with much emphasis on the pathetic walk out at that Urdd Eisteddfod. Yes the same one recently glorified by Crachach Cymru PLC at the NLW complete with presentation of heaped honours upon the poem Wylit, Wylit Llywelyn or as I like to pun: ''Will it, Will it ever come to a real fight on behalf of Llywelyn'' who by now must be rolling in unbearable anguish in crocadile tear sodden Cymric soil?
.
Truth is of course that CyIG 'back stabbed' the Anti - Investiture Campaign with their 11 hour Cilmeri Rally, as recently a truth repeated in book Freedom Fighters by John Humphries. One does not have to be a political genius to realise why this stunt was pulled off by the Cultural 'Language' Nationalists, and in whose interest it really was, just think on it!
.
On occaision I am tempted to use the a phrase attributed to the Nazi Herman Goering I believe, I refrain from using it for that reason. However, on this occaision, F*** it!....... ''When I hear the word culture I reach for my gun''. It's too bad that the thesis below by Owain Lyr ap Gareth gets much wrong and left unsaid about the 1969 Anti - Investiture struggle, talk about a personal bias, and in a thesis too? as it kinds of points to a certain bias which truely undermines the thesis, at least in the section on the 1969 Investiture.
.
If he's screwed up there , then where else has he screwed up? I ask myself! However, even though I have only had a quick scan, there is much within the content I would find informitave and illuminating, and would reccomend all patriots read but not this month of June, as you should all be too busy organising for Demonstrations and protests at Caernarfon on 1st July 2009. Including the likes of Owain Lyr ap Gareth before they get too settled in an 'Ivory Tower' or become a publically funded member of Crachach Cymru PLC? Perhaps it's because I have lived in London for far too long? but more and more I begin to wonder what the hell, do I have in common with many of my fellow country men? Heresy! but I often wonder if all this 'worrying the carcuss of an old song', is no more than some kind of obsessive vanity? or am I just pissed off when I see so many are really in this cause for personal advancement, cultural as much as political, and as much as Labour and Tory money grabbers so much in the news of late.
.

.
Save, reading of this thesis for the winter, along with other weighty pieces on postcolonialism or is it post Colonialism? the intellectuals cannot make up their minds even, so don't go getting your tiny patriotic brains blocked up. At moment all that need concern you right now is how to make a protest placard and banner for the 'Stop Another I - Day Demonstration', although that looks to be no more than a few personal protests. As I have not heard of any massed ranks of patriots preparing to march on Caernarfon and up for Storming that Castle?
.
No one, it seems is up to organising anything prefoundly big as 'STORMING THE CASTLE', and I should not be putting daft ideas like that in young impressionable heads. So do not pay any attention to me, after all I am a well known ''Heretical Nutter'' who is getting kind of irritated with 'Crachach Newydd' in particulr, not so much with Owain Llyr ap Gareth whose handy work you can read via this link > http://cadair.aber.ac.uk/dspace/bitstream/2160/1897/1/Phd%20Owain%20Llyr%20ap%20Gareth%201doc.pdf

The fotos in this post, are of Bradwr Lloyd George, we tried to pull this statue down in 1969 but failed, above him towers 'Eleanores Gate' where the English Princes of Wales both in 1911 and 1969 were presented to the cheering crowds. This foto is followed by one of the Exhibition Room in the Castle which glorifies the English Princes of Wales and puts down the native princes.
.
The next foto is from same exhibition and shows Carlo being invested - Crowned 'Tywysog Cymru' sat on his 'Investititure Throne'. This is now in bomb proof case in same exhibition room, his royal robes and 'national honours' are hidden away at the National Museum of Wales. The Royal Robes used to be on display untill some one tried to get at them but sadly only damaged the case they were in.
.
The third foto below shows the 'DIAS OF DOMINATION' in the castle today, centred on a lawn with 'Keep off the Grass' signs everywhere, to put you off walking across to this symbol of conquest and I spose if your a patriot 'Spitting on it!'. Some years ago, I rushed into the Castle with a Celtic Cross, symbolic of the Croes Naid, my intention being to make a protest on the 'Dias of Domination'. Unfortunatly a plain clothes copper got me first, I will leave it now to younger Adfywiadwyr Gwladgarol to make a 'touch down' on this most politically charged and sensitive patch of slated ground in Cymru, as it's here perhaps your next English Prince of Wales will be invested 'Tywysog Cymru'. One of these fotos below is of a model of the castle showing position of the 'DIAS OF DOMINATION' within the walls.

I guess the next link makes me want to spit and go and quote Goring again, c'mon spare me the 'Crachach Shite', the poem Wylit, Wylit meant to be a wake up call? Jasus H. Christ, obviously it's failed in that respect, so I invite, nay challenge the Poets of Wales to deliver themselves upon the 'DIAS OF DOMINATION' at 3:00 pm on 1st July 2009. To perhaps deliver a call to the nation to begin now the struggle against another Investiture of another Englishman as Prince of Wales, or is that to tough a call upon any Courage of Conviction you might have? Of course you want hear the clink! clink! clink! of 'Saxon Shillings' behind such a call on such committed patriotic gesture, but just think of the real glory, the statement to the nation and the World that would be made, to make up for those 1000 bards who grovelled before Edward I at Overton in 1284. Now, go see some really pointless artistic impression in link below, possibly funded out of the public purse at great cost? when a can of red spray paint or a bucket of annimal blood and offal would have cost far less, if you get my drift?

Wylit Waed - March 2007 Exhibition - a set on Flickr Wylit, wylit, Lywelyn Wylit waed pe gwelit hyn. Ein calon gan estron wr, Ein coron gan goncwerwr, ... Llywelyn, tears of blood you'd weep, ...www.flickr.com/photos/nanimo/sets/72157600801224682/ - 31k - Cached - Similar pages -
.

As for inviting artists to come up with artistic interpretations of Wylit, Wylit, I am not impressed by the results. I can think of much better and worthier and more meaningful 'Adfywiad Artistic' Agit - Prop Interpretations' that could have been made, but I had better shut up or I may be held responsible for some act of ''Patriotic Madness''

BE PREPARED TO VOMIT > This link > http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/northwest/sites/caernarfon/pages/investiture.shtml is a good indication of the growing interest in the 40th Anniversary of the Investiture and the Adfywiad Gwladgarol against it. Note you can leave contributions on this link, so go ahead and do so, as per guidelines. IF THERE WAS EVER A GOOD REASON FOR THE PATRIOTIC STALWARTS OF CAMBRIA MAGAZINE TO GO AROUND CAERNARFON WITH THEIR PATHETIC PETITION, THIS LINK WILL PROVE TO THEY, WHY THEY MUST OF NECESSITY TRY TO CONVINCE THE TOWN'S PEOPLE NOT TO CAMPAIGN FOR ANOTHER INVESTITURE WHICH THEY MIGHT JUST DO. IF THEY DID, I WOULD BE HALF WAY TO SAYING GO AHEAD BUT THEN SERIOUSLY CAMPAIGN FOR THE SOUTH TO BREAK AWAY FROM THE NORTH, AND LET THEM HAVE THEIR ENGLISH PRINCE - AFTER ALL IS HE NOT ANYWAY MADE JUST PRINCE OF PURA WALLIAE?

.

Other than this I know that a TV crew is going around making a documentary based on the Humphries book 'Freedom Fighters', I refused to participate. I have also refused to participate in a film being made, based on a to 'Dream of Freedom', my reasons for not participating are for various reasons. In main, I have never been associated since 1969 with any media interpretations or documentaries of any kind, and I am not going to start now.

.

However, I hope to do an Interview with a 'Patriotic Documentary News Service' soon, and that I am told will be posted to 'Your Tube' or be 'Video Streamed' as well on one of my own blogs later in June. A film is being made of Ian Bones 'Class War' in which the FWA are featured and ITV Wales are making a documentary on the 'Investiture Troubles' to be shown on the 22 June - 'Dydd Bryn Glas'. I dare say that the LPDP & WM will publish Commemorative Investiture Souvenir supplements as will the media in general so feature, and I of course will be posting much more on the Adfywiad Gwladgarol 1962 - 69 on my AWNM&S History Archive and other blogs during course of June and July.
.

So an exciting period ahead, with much to inspire but hopefully not passively but more pro-actively protesting in and around Caernarfon on 1 July 2009, yes! ....with the Poets on the 'Dias of Domination', maybe? but not likly! or with Balchder Cymru sometime during the day? Myself, I think Cambria Magazine Crowd and Y Crachach Newydd, should reserve pride of place and time for themselves that day, at the Gate of Caernarfon Castle at 3:00pm on 1 July 2009. To show us Working Class patriots whom are some times called incorrectly 'Y Werin', that next time around you will be leading from the front and standing shoulder to shoulder with the 'Adfywiadwyr Gwladgarol' behind the barricades...... 'Beneath the paving stones - the beach'.

.

As sure as day follows night, if I do not see some 'Crachach Newydd' and 'Celebs Cymru' patriotically protesting as suggested above this 1st July 2009, I shall for sure advise Working Class 'Gwerin' to forget any Anti - Investiture Struggle at a future date. Instead I will advise learn how to culturaly grovel, grab a grant-bag of 'Saxon Shillings' and learn how to write poetry, get published and go read it on a beach as far from Caernarfon, even Cymru as possible. Just forget the type of 'Nationalist Nonsense' I am always indulging in, but not for much longer perhaps?

.

If you cannot make Caernarfon on 1 July, there's always the following days, not least on the 4th July, a Saturday. Why not organise BLAG FLAG MOTORCADES from your community to and around Caernarvon via laying tributes on graves of the Abergele Martyrs. Whatever, as best as you can note and observe, that on 1st July 2009, all your roads really need to lead to Caernarfon, maybe if possible via Abergele. DO NOT MISS THIS GREAT OPPORTUNITY OF OCCAISION, to say you were there on that day, and so have inspired future generations to be there, next time they try and foist an investiture on us.

.

Golly gosh! I just got to stopt talking like an Irish Rebel and writing like some seriously patriotic Serb, these guys started WW I over an insult to their patriotic pride. Serbs have long memories, and as the Irish are not so easly bought out as the Cymry, but on the 1 July 2009 you can show Wales and the World again, there are some Cymry who will never be bought out or so beaten down on their knees that they will never rise again.............FE GODWN NI ETO!

.

PS:

The aforementioned Investiture Interpretation Exhibition along with the 'Investiture Throne' has been in Caernarfon Castle for 40 years, same the 'Dias of Domination'. You maybe as incredulous as I to realise that Gwynedd Patriots have done nothing about this in all this time, as for instance the setting up of an alternative Exhibition in the town telling the truth about Conquest Cymru 1282 - 84. Wylit, Wylit Llywelyn, a wake up call? No! I think not, it will take more than a poem to make Wales Awake! to threat of another Investiture of another Englishman as Prince of Wales. More so an huge Demonstration of Patriotic Feeling that warns of another 'Adfywiad Gwladgarol', if 'William Wales' is foisted upon as the next English Prince of Wales.
