One For Republicans - Should Rali Cilmeri Concern you?
All Discuss and Debate.
Turn The Media Mirth into Positive Politics.
D&D Questions:
* Who really comes out of this with pluses, long term?
* Does this mess up Leanne's Plans of another 'One Wales' Coalition with Labour?
* Is Rali Cilmeri Commemoration in danger of becoming a Right Wing Reactionary gathering?
* Should not serious Political Activism be more concerned about campaigning rather than commemorations unless used to launch such as PF V Investiture, Cofiwn V Srahad'83 and Y Cyfamodwyr V Mewnlifiad all from the Rali Cilmeri Platform. Thus now and hence, I suggest start as you mean to go on and that means forward not backward, yes?
* Should not Radical Republicans now be thinking of an alternative rally, when I and Toni as PF members in 'Sixties' kicked off this Cilmeri rally it was following in footsteps of launch of NNG magazine. I was not much up on history then nor politics, all these years later I question it all Historically Cilmeri 1282 and Llywelyn last just suited the Cambro Brit Histories of Tudor David Powell and following that Brit Cambro Cymrodorion crowd, 1911 Investiture 'Last Legs' Cymru Fydd crowd. Get my drift? As for the politics, what on earth was Republican Webb and Socialist Emrys Roberts doing launching a progressive magazine at Cilmeri for?
* As one Nationalist said once at Rali Cilmeri, just as well they English got rid of the 'Old Welsh Native Aristocracy' or there would have been no Glyndwr and no development of a Nation and Nationalism which we inherit. If Llywelyn III had won the war of 1282, I suggest within an 100 years the Gwynedd Royal Family would have gone the way of the Tudors and Stuarts in Scotland. Yes, that could have happened too following a successful Glyndwr war but the difference being out of that long struggle a Welsh National Identity was just that and not a matter of being 'West Britons' and Brythonic Cambrians wanting back the 'Crown of Briton' as was even used by the Richmond/Tudor and later in the English Civil War to keep the Welsh on side of the Stuarts against the 'Welsh' Cromwellians, Dissenters and Levellers. *
* See BBC HISTORY Mag November Issue on Wales and this English Civil War 'The Last Refuge of Monarchy' also see December Issue for revisionism on Edward I?
* What's the betting that behind the scenes, Plaid Cymru is telling it's members to stay away from the BC 2012 Cilmeri Commemoration and are Dr John H. Davies and Keith Parry also Petersen et al also conspiring to this end. Maybe, planning an alternative Rali Cilmeri on an opposite Weekend or another Plaid Cymru Hi - Jack as Cilmeri 2011?
* Do Nationalists bury their heads in the sand re accusations of Racism on web and in the blog Working Mens Blues plus this Llanelli Train Incident or deal with it big time and knock it on the head as Cofiwn did with NF shinnanigins at one stage. Patriots must be on top of their game and watchful not only for WECTU but also BNP and EDL/WDL attempting to use 'Welsh Nationalism' as NF 'Political Soldiers' attempted with Cayo and at Abergele.
* Should not BC see this as their Anti - Sais Front 'moment' and make the break with Plaid Cymru and become as the National Patriotic Front a true Independent Alternative Nationalist Movement, we (PF) Seized The Time and took up a cause and struggle that became our ADFYWIAD GWLADGAROL CYMRU 1964 - 69/70 or otherwise what are they and where are they going - around in circles?
*
But what as all this got to with Welsh Republicans and Radical Republican Movement and a radical/socialist National Liberation Struggle?

PS: As for Sian and I we are engaged still in the struggle to Save Stryveland, why? just wait until you see Sian's next YT Film but in mean time take a look at the below and get very real as to what is really bloody seriously at stake - Our Country and Communities:

By the way and do note this and not forget, the above is the CANOL CYMRU that in the Winter of 1282 Llywelyn III went into to defend and what will you be going there for this Winter, just for a pint and some hot air? WHY NOT SPEND THE WEEKEND CAMPAINGING AGAINST RENEWABLES ROBBER BARONS WHO AS THOSE 'OLD CONQUISTADORES' ANGLO - NORMAN ROBBER BARONS ' WHERE IN CANOL CYMRU TO EXPLOIT AND EXPROPRIATE OUR LAND AND RESOURCES. See in above film what they are planning doing to our heritage and what should be a beautiful legacy for our children and grandchildren is to be made into one huge Wind Turbine Industrial Estate. The above note is just Canol Cymru. Wait until you see Sian's next campaign film and at end note a near enough complete list of existing and proposed Wind Mill Plantations.Then ask yourself the question, what is more serious a Commemoration or fighting in defence of our Homeland and it's resources?

Personally and Patriotically, there is not much to choose between Dr John H. Davies and David Petersen, his Mametz Sculpture I have no problem with at all but as for his attempt to get the TW commission that is another matter indeed. Just in case you do not know TW was the English Crown barrister who prosecuted the 'Swansea Nine' in 1968, there is no excuse worthy of any nationalists to seek to glorify this Cambro Brit Traitor.
Sculptor David Petersen, based in St Clears, is among the artists who have submitted a proposal for the statue.
He described Sir Tasker as a “phenomenal” person and “one of the major figures that Wales has ever produced.”
I have no argument regards the heroism of TW or re his work for the WRU or indeed a statue being placed at the Millennium Stadium but I do with Petersen grovelling for another bag of Saxon Silver to work on a sculpture for this 'Cambro Brit Hero'. It is quite obvious to me that neither he or Dr John H. Davies have any respect for the 'Swansea Nine' or indeed any patriot they consider as 'extremist' or as their Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood consider to be aborrant. However, what pisses me off is that this guy when he was lording it around Lorient every year had little time for the Cilmeri Commemoration, then not only suddenly turns up but sticks himself out front of the march to the cenotaph and dominates the Cenotaph Mound. How is that? why have not the 'Good Ole Boys', yes the 'Cilmeri Veterans old comrades of the 'Swansea Nine', why have they not objected and told him Piss Off Petersen! Up to know, those ap Sion has called 'Young Turks' might not be aware of such as this or the treachery of John H. Davies and Ray Davies regards making statements to the WM in December 2004 about an 'Extremist take over of Cilmeri Rally'. Now you do and hopefully now you will not be so welcoming of these three doubtful Dilettantes and not as the 'Good Ole Boys' put up with this treacherous threesome. Certainly not as a few want to forget the 2004 Incident and be apologists for the recent Dr John dumping on Patriots and Freedom Fighters in calling them ''extremists''. This is not my problem but it is yours as fence sitting on this matter would be your undoing in any real freedom struggle, as characters like this would be the first to desert you at any barricade or worse, shoot you in the back just like Dr John as done but verbally, so maybe your lucky this time but you would be stupid if you do not consider that Dr John is maybe talking about you and already planning to stuff you and shunt you into a Cilmeri Corner - DO NOT GIVE HIM THE CHANCE!!! Whatever, all true patriots you really need to show some loyalty to those who have been consistant in self sacrifice to our cause and not be selective as to patriotic principals when self interest and self advancement and money come into the Patriotic Picture, YES?
Wonder if Jill will be back at Rali Cilmeri this year or maybe she will stay in Palestine, goes there an awful lot. As she got a Second Home there?
