PARTISANS - FREEDOM FIGHTERS OR TERRORISTS?

.

At one point in the 1969 Anti - Investiture Conspiracy Trial of Anti - Investiture Activists - PF/FWA Members of Cymdiethas Llywelyn and the Anti - Investiture Campaign Committee, I was on the witness stand trying my best to get it across to Brit Lawyer Tasker Watkins, that I was defending FWA/MAC Patriots as a Freedom Fighters who were not needs be ''Terrorist'' as he insisted they were. As for example such as a Partisan Resistance Fighter, now you think that this WW II VC vet would have understood that, but no way, his 'Brit Brain' was so feathered up as a WRU man in later years, that no way was he having any of that unfortunatly for me.

.

This book illustrated here is a good read, and should feed the debate on tye issue of 'Freedom Fighter' or 'Terrorist'. In the ''Sixties'' the police found in my home a Swiss Army Manual: CIVIL RESISTANCE AS NATIONAL DEFENCE, it was great on Passive, Obstructive and Constructive Peoples Resistance, certainly it was going to be my 'Direct Action' bible as to what may be done in and around Caernarfon on 'I - Day'. By way I got this book, expropriated it from Bridgend Library, this book on PARTISANS, I got from an Oxfam shop in London but this time around paid for it. Hope they, you know who, do not come around and confiscate this as they did with the aforementioned Swiss book.

.

The issue of one man's Freedom Fighter, is another man's ''Terrorists'', is all down to whose side you are on, or if your on the winning or the looseing side. This is a matter, not exactly raging 'openly' in Welsh media or Welsh Blogland nor Welsh Nationalist Circles, Certainly not 'Cultural Nationalist' Circles, no grants being available for Welsh Freedom Fighting of the 'Armed Struggle' sort. So I guess most 'Cultural Nats' will stick to Poetry or something else suitably ''Cultural''. However it should be debated, especially with John Humphries book FREEDOM FIGHTERS - Wales' Forgotten War now having been on sale for some months plus having at least got coverage in some 'Paper Media' and not least in magazines as Golwg and Cambria but not so much on the TV media.

.

I am trying to get around to giving the Humphries book a critical review, not that I do not find it very welcome because it helps make sure this ''uncompfortable Welsh history'' is not kicked into touch but because there are contentious issues I want to pick up with John Humphries. Not least, the following piece of very weary some spouting off about something, I doubt he really knows much about but rather something, I very much doubt he or others of the middle classes would want to be involved in, if push ever came to shove? Which it will on 1st July 2009 but in a very mild way, nothing violent just kind of stand up and be counted time?

.

Mr Humphries states in a number of articles of late, Western Mail and Cambria Magazine, articles in which he concludes that there are potential ''Flashpoints'' that might cause a violant militant nationalist reaction in the future. He mentions such as more 'Mewnlifiad', Welsh water issues and another Investiture of another Englishman as Prince of Wales. He focuses attention on the possibility that a new generation of ''Foot Soldiers'' might just march out of the shadows of Mudiad Amdifyn Cymru?

.

Well, my answer to that is, lets hope next time around they are 'Crachach', 'Y Crachach Newydd' and 'Celebs Cymru' Foot Soldiers. I myself next time around would certainly not advocate a return to Militant Political Violance where the Working Class get killed and imprisoned while Y Crachach et al get fat on ''Saxon Shillings''. I am not exactly a pacifist so some 'Street Fighting Man' Protest Demonstrations, of the ''Beneath The Paving Stones - The Beach!'' and throw up some barricades stuff is ok with me but no Bombs or Guns and such, forget that stuff! In the end where did it get the few who advocated or were involved in such, yes, Prison and the Cemetary with hardly a 'Crachach' in sight! and todays ''Playtime Patriots'' posturing, parading and petitioning against another Investiture instead of getting down to organising Campaigns against such taking place.

.

As far as Wales is concerned, those 'Armed Adfywiadwyr' days are over and fin forever, that includes burning Holiday Cottages, fin forever too! The language will be saved by recognising more than ever now 'IT's THE ECONOMY STUPID!' plus more 'Cymraeg' Education particularly at Nursery and Primary level to start with 'Big Time'. Then we need a Campaign against Rural Depopulation, this time around we need to focus on those who will possibly leave, especially the skilled and not so much worry about 'incomers', English or otherwise.

.

This includes Campaigns to keep Jobs for local people as now being carried out by CYMUNED at the moment in Ynys Mon. Last but not least Y Cymry need more babies, loads of them. and not less as that Porrit guy tells us with his ''Green Imperialism'' blather. So Guys and Gals, get busy and why not tonite, after reading this blog and possibly discussing it in bed as good solid Patriotic Foreplay, YES! Right on Brothers and Sisters?

.

MAKE LOVE NOT WAR OK!

.

So what's all this about, me dressing up in FWA Uniform, well the Welsh Neo - Colonial Establishment and their media LICKSPITTALS will censor and sanitise Welsh history, and therefore this FWA Uniform of myself will attract attention and thus help the message to jump over the 'China Cymru' great wall - Welsh self supported Brit Barrier. Such will allow me the freedom of getting the truth about our history out far and wide to the world. I am not advocating the re-establishment of the Free Wales Army or a renewal of Armed Struggle', even though it might appear as such.

.

I must point out to all who might hold romantic revolutionary notions, that in the ''Sixties'' we were going down a very desperate road tht could have got way out of control and very seriuos indeed. What with reading books about Menachem Begin's Irgun struggle in Israel also General Grivas and the EOKA Struggle in Cyprus, etc. Where the hell might this have taken us, is a big question. Big Issues here, bordering greatly on whom is a 'Freedom Fighter' and whom is a 'Terrorist', all this could have led in Wales to similar actions as the Hanging British Soldiers in Israel or shooting their Wives in the back as in Cyprus, who knows what might 'be occuring' in the eye of a storm of revolutionary struggle when Patriotic passions are aflame?

.

Just look at the awful things that ocuured in 'Occupied Ireland' since 1970's Last but not least, possibly keep one thing always in mind, in the ''sixties ''we were all young. There's a good book about Jesse James the outlaw also labeled an ''American Terrorist'', an hero 'Freedom Fighter' to the dieing post Civil War Confederacy but otherwise no doubt a murdering ''Terrorist'' as was Old John Brown (see books on the Bleeding of Kansas). There is an interesting statement in this book, I forget who made it at the time but it went something like this ''The most dangerous thing in America, right now is an 18 year old with a gun''.

.

So one must be really very carefull about incitement. Other, than that any Free Wales Army, Mudiad Amdiffyn Cymru and Meibion Glyndwr today would stand no chance against the present day Anti - Terrorist Police, well trained and equiped British Army with their Welsh 'Quisling' Regiments, Technology as CCTV, Satilites and super bugging devices, DNA and huge bribes to 'Informants' who in Wales come very cheap indeed, maybe nothing other than 'Job Security' , or the for cost of a night out and a few pints for some, as we all know re 'Y Cyfamodwyr'and their 'Pet Spy' 'SSSSSSS!'

.

So forget all that sort of thing, and stick to Adfywiad - Agit Prop Action' and 'Guerrilla Rememberancing', sure remember the ''Sixties Struggle'', respect those who fought and remember ''Our Patriot Dead'', not least over this year of the 40th anniversary of 'Adfywiad Gwladgrol Fawr' 1969. But note this and do not forget, even if anyone out there was 'Barmy' enough to consider the 'Old Ways' , then I tell you this just 'Wise Up' and wait to see how many of our dedicated Llywelyn ap Gruffydd loving 'Cultural Nationalists', 'Cilmeri Commemorators' 'Dewi Day Paraders' will be at the gates of Castell Caernarfon on 1 July 2009, not very many I grant you and as for Y Crachach and 'Celebs Cymru', why not take bets on how many will have the guts 'Cofia 1282' where it counts big time this year?

.

I AM PARTICULARLY THINKING ABOUT

THE 'BIG MAN' DAVE PETERSEN.

.

Odd ain't it that Dave Petersen sculptor of 'Man of Steel' also known my local kids as 'Darth Vader', Arwr Glyndwr Statue in Llandovery, actually considers Tasker Watkins Q.C. prosecutor of the aforementioned Adfywiadwyr'69 Patriots to be an 'Hero', so much so he wants to make a statue of him for the WRU to put up at the Millenium Stadium.

.

Ironic but this 'Geezer'' Petersen turns up at Rali Cilmeri a lot and actually makes a speech to Patriots, on the 'Sacred Ground' where Cayo, Coslett and Toni Lewis spoke from, they were by the way, with myself four of the nine 'Anti - Investiture Conspirators'. Guess what? he actually spoke there again this year, and all those so called ''Usless F****ers! of the so called ''FWA Appreciation Society'' meekly accepted this insult, did they turn their back on him or radically boo him off the centoph, no! These are more or less the 'Bozos' who actually plan to organise a commemoration at Abergele this year, got news for them, if you do I hope your going to go on to Caernarfon for some Confrontation with reality, if you don't I will haunt you ''Hot Air Ijeets'' to the day of my death.

.

Some one referred to me earlier this year, as an ''Angry Old Man'', you bet when there are such useless Posturing, Parading and Petitioning Pint Pot Patriots around. I do not think this lot would have ever made it to being a Partisan, to say the least. Whatever, getting that off my chest and coming up to conclusion, but I am kind of getting really Pissed Off, not just with the aforementioned but with others as well, not least ''Old Republicans'' and 'Cyfamodwyr' who have become so washed out, they now are good for F**** All! than 'Dewi Day Parading' Cambrianista 'Cannon Fodder'. I am not even bothering to try to get them to Caernarfon on 1st July 2009 but I am going to stick with it re prompting and then seeing if some ''Crachach Grant Grabbers'', 'Celebs Cymru' and of course 'Cambrianistas' and the 'Balchderiaid' et al turn up. No ones asking them to be a Partisan, a Patriot will do, perhaps even a RADICAL NATIONALIST?

Gethin 'Iestyn' Gruffydd.

.

PS: 5000? at Dydd Dewi Day Parade in Caerdydd this passed Sunday, sorry but not impressed but if just a third of that number turn up at Caernarfon on 1st or 4th July, I will certainly be very impressed. Go on have a guess which gathering would make the biggest real Radical Welsh Nationalist Statement regards our Sovereignty and declare to the world Wales, is more than a crowd of leekeating ''Patriotic Pussy Cats''.
