What's On Line, Retirement or Resurgence?

.
Well if I can get out of this really comfortable arm chair and away from far too many visits to Weatherspoons in Folkestone, I might be even more productive. However, I do like Folkestone and this particular Weatherspoons. See below picture of Old Folkestone Harbour, you can buy fresh fish here and plenty of Pubs along the Harbour Walk. Folkestone has had it bad in recent years but the new fast train connections from Ashford to London and Paris have already prompted economic regeneration and it's going to get even better. The amazing thing is that property in this region is same as in the ''Old Country'', houses even in the rural areas of Cymru compare with prices of similar in Kent. What does that tell you? I will leave you work out the Socio - Economics of it all!
.
.
I am seriously considering retiring here, not that I prefer England over a return to the ''Old Country'' but just across the water is the continent and all those great European Capitals to visit in my Grey Wolf Years. For now I will just a while more sit it out here and dream of restoring a great new restored Belgae Country, maybe I can start a Cymdeithas Caradog here? Whatever in the meanwhile lets consider the Balgae and Belguim, not so much in the news over here in the British Isles but certainly big news in Belguim itself, as that post 1815 State begins to seriously implode. So check out the following links:

I think it may be a good idea if Welsh Patriots took a long holiday in Belguim this year perhaps about time of Anniversary of the Battle of the Golden Spurs 11 July 1302. For further Information check out links below:

I dare say more to follow up to conclusion of 2008, opportunity at this point to inform you that all my Nationalist Political Blogging should come to it's own conclusion by 2009, the Alternative Nationalist Archiving Blogging plus a book, concluded by 2011, if not sooner I hope. Further note that at these dates, these blogs will come down as they only encourage much more work, not least answering emails and other queries, after 2011 I would like to be free of all this so I can truly get on with some creative fiction and fantasy writing and projects.
.
Some, near enough 50 years of Welsh Nationalism and Politics is enough for anyone. Not least I must consider that much I say, comment on and write about may be of but passing interest and have no profound purpose in an age where indeed ''The Past may be another Country'' altogether. In this context I recognise that the future really is for others younger than I to shape, and really I do not want to pursue in pushing my beliefs on future generations that have to continue the struggle, I and others began in the 60's of the great Adfywiad Gwladgarol. At best from my blogs you will learn some history, including our own history of struggle the Crachach would like to bury. I hope you will learn that it is of no use to any cause, to be no more than a ''Knee Jerking'' Patriot ''Posuer'' and ''Pretender'' but one must be the good and best of Agit - Prop Patriots, I know I have criticised him from time to time but Adam Phillips and a few others in his Balchder Cymru circle do ''Come Up To Scratch''. Most of all I hope you will recognise some good advice, do not suffer fools! do not suffer ''Good Ole Boys'', do not suffer Detractors and Dilettantes, not least to not suffer Devolutionists for they are the Dis illusionist Defeatists that will destroy our Struggle to Save Our Sovereignty.
.
Beware of those who sit on fences and will not cross any line, beware of those who talk a lot but act little, not least be weary and watchful of those who run with the hares and the hounds. I have lived long enough to have hindsight in such matters, there are those who also could have such hindsight but chose instead to turn away from ''home truths'' and just want a quite and undisturbed little life. Others, have their own reasons to be silent, whatever many of these will have to live with this silence as the silence of Cowards, they know who they are! I cannot give foresight to anyone new to this cause and struggle, be they young or old, but I can inform and record my experiences of struggle. Then at least, many will learn much, not least, not to make the same mistakes as I and others have, if you do not and do not pretty quick then, trust me our Alternative Welsh Nationalist Movement and Struggle is DEAD? FIN! Do you get it, so it's up to you?
.
Oh yes! then there are the INFORMERS & INFILTRATORS working on behalf of those who seek to ensure our country is ever one that remains Conquered and Colonised, make it your priority to take care and be watchful. Be in no doubt that even though we are not involved in subversive struggle, the British State and it's Assembly Devolutionist ''Quizling Regime'' and it's supporters will do all possible to destroy totally any Alternative Welsh Nationalist Movement and Struggle, of that be sure. They have PLAID in the bag, but 'Alternative Nationalists' will ever concern them and prompt them to carry out their own underhanded subversive activities to undermine our real struggle for Cymru, Community and Culture.
.
If that was not bad enough, even worse are the Pied Pipers that will lead you up Blind Alleyways into dead ends, do I have to spell it out for you again, time you really did get your head out from between your legs and did a bit of thinking! Until certain Patriots or a new generation of 'Adfywiad Gwladgarwyr' arise, no! I am not going to give ''your ball'' back John 'Sion' Roberts * or who ever you and your ''Cracker Cronies'' are? including those who 'Succor' they by various means. For the truth is you kicked that ''ball'' you write about, out of field through stupidity but more so inaction. I just came along and picked up that ball, and yes I have run away with it. So I suggest you learn to play ball with me or go and get your own ball and start playing your own game, like getting up and at it, in true Patriotic Struggle not festering away as some spoilt brat crying over the big boys having run away with his ''ball''.

* In the last few days, information has been passed on to me as to the identity of my ''Poison Pen Pals'', this of course will have to be thoroughly checked out. In this case, possible rumour and gossip of ''Chinese Whispers'' on the grapevine will not do. Not least as when proved, Names will be published in all my blogs, that of course this will get into very dangerous area of possible Libel/Slander etc, if I am wrong. Some of this information has been sent to me anonomously, thus I must consider that I could be, being misled to blame the wrong people as part of some ''Dirty Tricks'' campaign? Thus, I got to get it right and I will, as much is coming my way, it's only a matter of time before the truth is out and then I can really get down to some heavy duty VKC!!!

How can I not mention this, in relation to one of my favourite pet hates ''TARTAN TAFFERY'' as it's that time of year when they all come out in their fake finery for the 'Cambrianist' Dydd Dewi Parade in Caerdydd. Here's a play you should be listening and paying attention to, maybe BBC 4 will repeat it, check it out, or maybe it can be down loaded, check that out too. BBC - Radio 4 - The Stanley Baxter Playhouse - The King's Kilt The King's Kilt. Monday 7 January 2008 11:30-12:00 (Radio 4 FM). Series of comic plays starring Stanley Baxter. By Rona Munro.

Famous wisdoms from Welsh History:..... 'If your Intellect does not convince them nor your fine words in sound argument, reasonable discussion and debate. If they still insist on being complete Taffy Forelock Tuggers or worse, you know who I mean?......holding ridiculous opinions and being obstinate, generally obsolete obtuse tossers. Then you really have no other choice left to you than to give them a F******* GOOD THUMP! This to be sure will lead them to conclude, that yes it is best to follow the way of the RED STAG - The Way of the Welsh Outlaws of the Great Woods of Wales! However, if they are bigger, meaner and more uglier than your good self, caution & consider other safer possibilities as example:

* Use Silurian tactics of sneaking up on the enemy and whacking them when they least expect it, then run off quickly!

* Learn the Ancient Cymric Fighting Martial Arts of Llap Goch!

* Employ the Pwca principle of Dynamic invisibility, when those who oppose you get angry, run off as fast as you can and hide behind a rock or a tree, thus become invisible!

Yours Waywardly, Gethin 'Iestyn' ap Gruffydd, now an Armchair Revolutionary but still a ' Welsh Remembrancer', maybe an 'Adfywiadwr Gwladgarol', hopefully still a 'Welsh Outlaw'.........to some however a, ''Paranoid Patriot'' and an ''Heretic'' (Hopefully not up for a burning at the stake?) but then, just what are my ''Old Comrades'' up to these days???? Patriots keep in mind that some times Paranoia is a Patriots natural self defence mechanism, get my drift? Then, is it not better to be an ''Heretic'' than a Conformist in these desperate post Devolution times of, I repeat DEVIANT WELSH NATIONALIST DILETTANTISM WITH THEIR DEFEATIST DISTRACTIONS. Is it not better to be an ''Heretic'' than one of the Patriotically and Politically bewildered or worse, a Knee Jerking piece of ''Crach Fodder'' that supports this ''Vichy Statelet'' we have had foisted upon us, the 'SHAM SENEDD' aka The ASSEMBLY OF APPEASEMENT WITH ENGLISH IMPERIALISM. NEO - COLONIALISM AND GLOBAL CAPITALISM. If opposing such is my Heresy, then yes, I am an HERETIC' too! this reminds me that it was on the 1 Mawrth 1244 that the noble ''Cathar Heretics'' at Montsegur made truce with the Crusaders that besieged them, the terms offered were surrender the Castle and give up your faith. On the 16 Mawrth 1244, The Cathars surrendered the Castle of Montsegur but not their faith. Over 200 who walked out were put into wicker cages and burnt alive for their faith - A FAITH BORN OF FURY & FIRE!!!!! Inspirational? Be even more inspirational if you visit Montsegur, why not do so for a Spring break between 1 - 16 Mawrth? For more on this story, check out link below:
