TAFARN CAYO ARMS CAERDYDD New Pub Sign On The Way.

.
Have received following emails from patriots who responded to our appeal and due to their prompt action the sign is to be repaired.
.
Dear Sirs,I am happy to note that the pub sign with my father's portrait is to be replaced. What a shame that someone (I hope accidentally) damaged it. The painting was a cheerful and interesting one and I think Cayo would haveapproved; though I did personally think it was not the greatest likeness. If you need a really GOOD signwriter/artist, may I recommend my good friend Geoffrey Wynn of Llanddewi Brefi - contact tel no. 01974 - 298846 , he woulddo a far better job! All the best,Ms. Sian Dalis Cayo-Evans.

Oh yes and, there's this other email below which kind of proves the point I constantly make about this 'Careerist' GOB (Good Ole Boy) and 'Devolution Dilletante' and latter day 'Cambrianista Crony'...

Re: Cayo Sign Nice work Paul and Dalis and whoever else was involved. Remind the owners that I took the original photo at Penyberth in 1986 and if they want to see the original to copy get in touch with me, the copyright owner. The only thing that spoils an otherwise perfect shot was the horrible caravan in the background - but Cayo was posed, and dressed, perfectly so I had to take it.Who knows it may take on the status of the famous Che image given time!Hwyl, Rhob.
.
No it want, I can think of much better fotos, yours just makes Cayo look some genteel 'jolly farmer' at the Royal Welsh.
.
Comment: now why should we remind the Brewery? we are campaigning for Cayo not 'Castrol'. I guess Roberto would have already made it known in the first place who the copyright owner was and, why does he request you to do it for him now, cannot he do that himself if needs be? For plonkers sake! they are only repairing the sign, give yourself a break 'Castrol' stop pushing so hard, unless it's going to be against the Gate of Caernarfon Castle on 01 - 07 - 2010, yes? My blogs are full of fotos, people take and reuse all the time, I very rarely complain unless some one is 'taking the piss' and pretending their his, for most part I request people if useing fotos just giving credit where credit it is due and for most of the time I do no persue or protest on that matter. So why are you bothering so much boyo? The WM in it's TV supplement the other week used my 'iconic' 1831 Red Flag foto, did I get bothered, no! and I let it pass, fin!
.
Does this mean all the fotos you have been taking since the ''Sixties'', I know you have loads especially of real rebels, not pushovers like you. So are all they copyrighted too and does that mean they are up for sale to fill your pockets? and what about all the film you have taken over the years, not least the video collection of the Cyfamodwyr Years at Rali Cilmeri, yes, the 'Medals for Gobs' Video Collection. That really makes interesting viewing, could have been a good record worth archiving for posterity if it were not for fact that the bits..... where you 'take liberties' pointing your camera at a good patriot, worse for ware in drink and then ask him leading questions. You know what and whom I am on about, you greasy git! Of course, if you feel you have done nothing wrong, why not stick it up on 'YouTube' and lets see you justify it?
.
Better still at Rali Cilmeri 2010 why not show the whole video on a big screen in the village hall or on a lap top in Tafarn Llywelyn, go on let one and all see it. Go on give Cilmeri's ''Rebels'' a big thrill, show em your movie, they' love it! especially the latter day 'Gwr Gododdin' and his 'Young Turk' followers. By way, I was sent a copy of your movie by one of your drinking mates, for archiving at NLW but how could I do that when footage contains the awful part aforementioned and much else which might embarrass some patriots or even expose someone who might not want it shown, especially before the BGE this year? The footage which I find offensive and a betrayal of a comrade who you say is your freind is what concerns me. If you say you are a friend which I doubt greatly, as who would do this to a freind and 'old comrade'. If you want this archived, do so yourself but censor certain bits as aforementioned and no doubt one or two other extracts your mates might be uncompfortable with, especially 'Mr Nice Guy' of Cardiff?
.
Shame, I dare not publically show this film because of your copyright, I would just love to put one little extract on YouTube, the bit where you are screaming ''I' am a Republican, down with all princes''. Just makes me wonder what the hell you have been doing going to Rali Cilmeri for all, these years? often in a wig or dressed in desguise as an Arab or whatever and always taking lots of fotos and film (copyrighted, I guess?). Is it any wonder, I have no desire to return to Rali Cilmeri when creeps like you and Petersen ''Taskers my hero'' run the show, god help the future of any patriotic struggle, I mean real 'Adfywiad Gwladgarol' struggle.
.
Personally, I think that Tafarn Cayo Arms could do with a new sign based on another foto, so if anyone out there got one and are willing to see it used 'Copyright Free' of course do send it to the Brewers telling them they can use it. Oh yes! last but not least be carefull when 'Castrol' points a camera at you, especially at Rali Cilmeri and particularly if you have been drinking too much and your tired and trying to eat while this 'wannabe' documentary film maker wants to ambush you for no particular good reason, unless of course, there is one! like 'BLACK PROPAGANDA'?

PATRIOTS AWAKE AND ARISE and into ACTION! Maybe just a little?

. .
Sure, you can bet you bottem dollar that Britain aka England will always be greater in Wales, unless Patriots get into some positive purposeful 'Adfywiad Agit - Prop Action' in areas requiring some serious Cymric Consciosness Campaigning. This year that means focusing on getting ready for May BGE and later in the year radical campaigning in referendum on more powers for the Welsh Assembly but, are radical nationalists to vote YES! NO! or ABSTAIN! (same re WAG elections in 2011) think on it for a while ok! I am tempted to argue that if there is no question on Independence then patriots should abstain, I can't bring myself to call for a vote no! though a case could possibly be made for doing so even from a nationalist position. Whatever, do remember if Nats do well in BGE one may celebrate in Machynlleth on and about 21 June 'Dydd y Senedd Cenedl Glyndwr'. On the other hand if Nats do badly, then rally for some calls to continue the struggle, for some inspired action of S.O.S. SAVE OUR SOVEREIGNTY. Why not gather around the Owain Glyndwr memorial at Y Plas for some soap box speeches by impassioned patriots still up for a continued struggle and, have a Patriots Picnic at same time.
.
Most important not to forget that last year Balchder Cymru initiated the first 'No Investitures of English Princes of Wales in Caernarfon' rally at the Gate of Caernarfon Castle on 1st July 2009. This year the 'Cambrianistas' of Cambria Magazine will be invited to organise the second such rally at the Gate of Caernarfon Castle on 1st July 2010. At this event the Cambria Mag Staff will nail their 'passive petition' to the Gate of Caernarfon Castle then all rush in without paying to hold a sit down on that 'Dias of Domination'. That will take a lot of guts but I am sure they have sufficient not to let this patriotic challenge pass bye, will you? Next year, 100th anniversary of the 1911 Investiture and, 'Cultural Cymru', 'Celebs Cymru' and 'Intelligensia Cymru' will be invited to organise the third Rally at the Gate of Caernarfon Castle. In association in and around the town with a Carlo Carnival and Anti III Investiture Concert head lined by Welsh Rebels as Dafydd Iwan, Bryn Fon and Dewi Prysor also Gareth Westacott et al, oh yes and not forgetting Punk Patriot Mr Obsession himself, none other than Rhys Mwyn. Indeed anyone who can do something Patriotically Culturally Creative. That's a big if? a big wish? and maybe a step too far for such a renewed Radical Cultural Nationalist Adfywiad, or maybe not, we shall see! 2011, shit or bust! yes?
.
Then of course high on the list of Patriotic Priorities this year is to make sure that Rali Cilmeri gets back on course as an Anti - English Monarchy Platform, if you want history why not gather at Aberedw to do your historical thing? Other than that for some Hanes AWNM&S, this years 2010 Rali Cilmeri will mark the 40th anniversay of the 1970 Rali Cilmeri, last to be organised by the Patriotic Front which in that year demised. However, within a year or two the National Commemration Association came into existence and, later the Cofiwn years at Cilmeri began concluding with the massive Commemoration in 1982 of the 700th anniversary of 1282. Thus this in mind you may like to spend the year making some Cofiwn 'Ivy Leaf' and other flags as illustrated below, note not a Baner Dewi amongst them and hopefully not seen at Rali Cilmeri hence, other than well to the back of the march where it should be and, not give the pride of place as it was this year by the two 'Cambrianistas' Petersen and Hinton.
.
Some patriots I noted from Cilmeri Rally 2009 fotos had made the effort to make some great native Welsh Princes Baners, why they were not up front behind 'Baner Llywelyn' just makes me wonder what kind of statement Petersen & Hinton were seeking to make? Whatever, further at Rali Cilmeri 2010 I am rather hoping a northerner of Gwynedd will stand at the Cenotaph and make call to all Welsh Patriots to make a mass mobalisation demonstration against English Princes of Wales, in Caernarfon on 1st July 2011. So any 'Gog' up for that? Trust me! believe me such mass mobalisation will make English Royalist and Taff Traitor ears prick up and be more weary of holding another investiture, certainly more so than any nonsensical 'Cambrianista' passive petition. PATRIOTS GET REAL!
. .
. Of course do not forget this year is 100th Anniversary of the great Cambrian Lockout and Tonypandy Riots of 1910, time for 'Nats' to get to grips with some historical 'home truths' as Welsh Bosses and Judges come down on the Welsh, English (and other nationalities)Workers. A Welsh Capitalist establishment calling upon the English Government to send English and Scots Troops plus English and Welsh Police into the valleys to crush the strike. Next year whilst Caernarfon celebrates the 100th Anniversary of their 1911 Investiture, do note that 1911 will also mark also the 100th anniversary of the Llanelli Riots. More on this in my RED REMEMBRANCER blog and, soon new blog ADFYWIAD GOCH .
.
Please note in years to come the folowing anniversaries, begging to be acted upon:
.
...
2012 English Queens Diamond Jubilee and the Olympics.
.
2013 Will mark the 60th anniversary of the English Queens Coronation in 1953.
.
2014 Will mark 100th anniversary of the start of WW I in 1914.
.
2015 Will mark 600th anniversary of Battle of Azincourt 1415, Henry V and all that!
.
So expect a lot of Great British Brain washing, so what you going to do about it? Nothing! or establish in your communities now 'autonomous' REPUBLICANS AGAINST MONARCHY RAM Agit Prop Action Campaign Committees, in particular poster and sticker campaigns at the very least, so get to it, don't just think about it - DO IT!
.
The Last word on Dydd Dewi from me? maybe not: St. David's Day meetings are not boisterous celebrations of democracy and freedom in Wales, but rather the subdued remembrance allowed a captive nation under colonial rule. who said this, not me but one David Morgan, see link >St. David's Day -- Dydd Dewi Sant -- Monday, March 1, 2010 - 20:27 St. David's Day meetings are not boisterous celebrations of democracy and freedom in Wales, but rather the subdued remembrance allowed a captive nation ...www.davidmorgan.com/stdavid.html - Cached - Similar -

.
You will not be seeing any more White Eagle Flags flying on the Cardiff Dydd Dewi Parade anymore......
.
.
........But don't worry you can fly as many as you wish at the annual Anti - English Princes Parade and rally at the Gate of Caernarfon Castle. So get busy making loads of White Eagle Flags, lets see a massive Convocation of White Eagles anually in Caernarfon on the 1st July, yes! yes! yes!
.

Yippeee!!!! The Romans are leaving......
.
.

410 - 2010 The 1600th Anniversary of the Romans leaving the Island of Britain, how can we celebrate that? How's about a wild Silurian gathering at Caerleon later in the year, I will give this some thought and let you know my ideas on this. In the mean time note there is much on Web about this, an excellent article in BBC History Magazine and a conference is to be held in NMW Caerdydd later in year. Plus two major movies on the way, one about the mysterios disappearence of the 9th Legion in Alba.

....
Siluria Forever!
..
Bye Bye!

DYDD DEWI DAY 2010 CARDIFF 'Cambrianista' PARADE: Too Nationalist?

. .
....'Too Nationalist'? according to one 'mean minded' person over at http://tinyurl.com/stdavidsdaymarch or simply WalesOnLine.co.uk do join in the on line debate. My thoughts on the matter, he's got to be joking ''too Nationalist'', my complaint is that it's not Nationalist enough, well a bit more! What ever what 'mean minded' is really moaning about is, what passed off last year as the 'Cambrianistas' long march down to Bae Caerdydd to grovel before the Lord Protestor Dafydd Elis Tomas on steps of the 'Sham Senedd. All in persuence of the political ambitions of right wing Welsh Nationalist Henry Jones Davies, founder of Cambria Magazine and with renegade ''Welsh Republicans''; Westacott, Lockwood and Hinton the gallant 'Knights of St David' behind the annual Dewi Day Parade in Cardiff.
.
.
However, these ambitions now achieved, HJD being now prospective Plaid Cymru Candidate for Preseli in fourth coming BGE 2010 plus well in at the 'Sham Senedd' with DET & Cronies he no longer cares to be the Peid Piper of Welsh Political 'fringe' Patriotism. As this year he appeared to be more the 'Peid Piper of Hamelin' as he and Petersen of the Pony Tail, Welsh Kilt and great big Baneri Dewi led a 'Tsunami 'of Children on a much shorter march this year from Catays Park, down Westgate Street to the Hayes Island for a Cardiff Council day of Dewi Day Cultural Activities. To a great extent this was a much toned down Dewi Day parade, any nationalist pretense was well set aside and indeed there was definatly fewer known Nationalists on this years parade. Maybe they have wised up and are saving themselves for much better patriotic parades with some real nationalist purpose, as marching for Glyndwr in Machynlleth on or about 21 June 'Dydd y Senedd' annually. The truth is that the afore mentioned 'Mean Minded' really meant that last years Dewi Day parade was 'Political' and, politically in favour of Plaid Cymru or as I point out in favour of the political ambitions of HJD.
.
.
Whatever, all this aside, personally I think this year the parade organsers got it right. A young persons event with schools greatly envolved, more just patriotic than nationalist obviously to get Cardiff City Council aboard, and holding it in the Hayes Island. I have no complaints there, if that's what it takes to make the event more successful and end the pretense that it is a nationalist event, in early days used to encourage 'Cilmeriaid' to support. This should also satisfy aforementioned 'mean minded' and not least myself and so if organisers keep it that way and stop their pretend nationalism then neither will I be mean minded in future and indeed comment less on this event. But for this post, I just go to have one more dig, so read on >>>
.
Dave Petersen striking a pose, he holds thru out the parade >
.
.
Patriot Enrico obviously enjoying himself >

Dewi hated boozing, so stoping here on Cardiff's 'Binge Drinkers' street bit much really >
.
.
Roberto put down that cane, your not a teacher any more >
.























.
Dewi's Welsh Troops advancing on Hayes Island >
.
.
Bethan Baby! The Barricades are the other way, turn left, go home and read my Red Remembrancer blog and coming shortly the 'left activist' Adfywiad Goch blog. Forget about Dewi Day parading and organise an 1831 Parade in Merthyr also why not march in support of my Land & Liberty Campaign >
.






















.
Oh god, I can smell chips >
.
.
Blessings to one and all for the turn out, phew!!! >
.
























. .
What an exciting day, wore me out and, I then had to go on to Abertawe to fotograph the Dewi Day there too, a foto report on which will be posted up on my new blog: CAMPAIGNS CYMRU http://ymgyrch.blogspot.com Calling for 'Dewi Days' & Parades in as many towns as possible through out the land annually as also a WELSH NATIONAL IDENTITY DAY, full info in due course in this blog.
.
Dr John Davies, Welsh historian of note, not in a Fishermans Jacket which is unusual for he, if he's looking rather bemused and puzzled it's because I 'button holed' him on the Hayes and kept referring to him as Dr 'Books'. He obviously did not recognise me but was happy to pretend he did! >
.
.
For now Hwyl!
.
Gruffydd Gethin.

PS: Petersen and other 'Cambrianistas' have been invited to organise and make themselves available for the second Anti - English Princes of Wales annual Rally at Gate of Caernarfon Castle on or about 1st July. At which HJD & Roberto Hinton will nail that passive petition (yes that one, the disappeared and forgotten one) to the Gate of the Castle as 'renegade Welsh Republicans' Lockwood and Westacott try to gain entry without paying or is that a step too far for these patriot 'Boy Wonders', we shall see! but don't hold your breath? Balchder Cymru are recorded in the great book of Welsh Struggles as organising the first Rally 2009, this year 2010 it may be the 'Cambrianistas'?
.
Next year 1 July 2011 or there abouts maybe all the really 'up for it' Patriotic, maybe a tiny bit 'Nationalist'; Welsh Intellectuals *, Arty Farties and Cultural Nats and Folksy fiddlers et al (Cymric Celebs led by Sharon Morgan?) who will be at the Caernarfon Castle Gate in their grant soaked 1000's? well 100's.....a dozen? We shall see!!! * As Meic Stephens former 'Head Honcho' of Arts Council of Wales and now another 'main man' amongst the 'Cambrianista' Knights of St David. Seen here talking to HJD, about what? nothing really important such as selfless sacrifice to noble causes and such as Welsh Freedom or against English Princes and their Investitures in Caernarfon, not likly boyo?

HAPPY ST DAVID DAY but be carefull about that 'Anglican' Yellow Cross Flag, why not a Celtic Cross Flag?

.
The Celtic Cross not only represents over a 1000 years of Celtic Christianity but also represents all the Celtic Nations, so why are the 'Cambrianista' Dewi Day Paraders of the Knights of St David so keen on the Yellow 'Anglican' Cross rooted in the Disestablishment of the Anglican Church in Wales post 1922? Perhaps because they sympathise with those Taffies who want to see this yellow 'Anglican' cross added to the Union Jack or vice versa as CID John Wake self declared ''Mr Welsh Tourism'' proposes, see below and laff or cry!
.
.
Thus Patriots adopt and use a Celtic Cross version of Baneri Dewi as I very much doubt of a Celtic Cross will look good on a Union Jack. Until such is made by some flag maker you will have to make your own. So get busy and make one, lets see loads of them at the fourth coming Celtic Festivals in Porthcawl, Lorient and elsewhere.
.

.
A major promoter of the yellow 'Anglican' Dewi Cross is 'Cambrianista' Knight of St David, Metal Craftsman David Petersen usually seen annually leading the aforementioned Dewi Day Parade in Caerdydd with his WASP (Welsh Anglo - Saxon Protestant) rag. He was also making himself very much 'head honcho' at Rali Cilmeri 2009, up front attempting to lead the way to the 'Sacred Acre' with his WASP Rag. Be careful proud Cilmeriaid, I have an hunch that he is not just making a 'Cambrianista' KofSD statement but now they have very much let Cardiff Council have the Dewi Day parade, they just might have their eyes on Rali Cilmeri and much else. But I doubt if we will see Petersen and his 'Cambrianista Cronies' with their WASP rags annually at the Gate of Caernarfon Castle on 1st July.
.
They have no guts for a real Patriotic challenge, they prefer passive petitions to radical nationalist protests. Although who knows they might yet get up the courage to go and nail that Anti - English Princes of Wales Petition to the Door of Caernarfon Castle, I think it's more likely to snow in hell before that happens? Although Petersen and Cambrianista Crew; Hinton, Lockwood, Westacott and of course Henry Jones Davies might yet prove me wrong on 1 July 2010? Go on surprise us with some guts!!!
