CAERNARFON CASTLE, THE INVESTITURE 1969 EXHIBTION AND DIAS OF DEFEAT.

.

Just a short visit to our 'Bastille', I thought would be enough and so it was but hate to admit it but I found the RWF Museum quite excellent and was wishing I had more time to go around it. Suffice about they and other Anglo - Welsh 'British' Regiments, will save that for I'r Gad, my Welsh Battlefield Campaign blog. My purpose of actually visiting Castell Caernarfon was to do some thing perhaps I should have done 39 years ago upon my release from Prison for Anti Investiture Activism, that being going there to see that Exhibition of the English Princes of Wales. However, I did not and so was not fully aware of the National Shame it represents. Yes, I said National Shame, for there in all it's ''Anglo centric'' ingloriousness is the infamy of the sad and tragic destruction of a 1000 years of Welsh Monarchist tradition, told in just two brief Exhibition display boards. A nice Saxon sanitized version of our history neatly dovetailing into about a dozen further Exhibition display boards telling the story of the 21 or is that 22? English Princes of Wales. Not least of course in full blown splendour is the story of the 1911 and 1969 Investitures, complete with models and photos of the Castle. The Investiture'69 and it's paraphernalia, not least the throne upon which Carlo was invested as an English Prince of Wales. I dare say that some 40 years on, no doubt by now, 1000's of Tourists as well as native Welsh have seen this English Propaganda and are convinced that it was for the best the Welsh Princes and their children were murdered and that the conquest of Wales was ''Politically Correct''. Plus of course 1000's by now consider that the English Princes of Wales have done a good job in up holding English Sovereignty over Cymru. Not least 1000's of foreign tourists will go away not only with an awful misrepresentation of Welsh History but the belief that the Welsh just rolled over and surrendered and are absolutely in love with their English Princes. Just wait when Carlo turns up at Caernarfon Castle next year to commemorate the 40th anniversary of his 1969 Investiture, just wait and see all the loyal little forelock tugging Taffies gathering there to celebrate his Investiture 1969 and cry out for William Wales to be their next English Prince of Wales. A petition! stop this, I am coming to the opinion that even my ''bullish'' calls for protest are to little avail? As for up for it demonstrations against another Investiture when it is finally called for, somehow I think next time around there will be even less interest in organising Anti - Investiture Resistance, not least amongst ''Cultural Nationalists'' who have been well stuffed with ''Saxon Shillings'' since 1969. I dare say they as the pro Tudor 15th century Bards of Caerwys, will have little real desire to ''Bite The Hand That Feeds Them''. As for PLAID, I can forecast for you now that PLAID, not least Plaid Gwynedd will be more for an another Investiture than against it, forget silly pathetic petitions just write letters to Plaid Councillors, AMs, MP's and MEP's, asking they, who is for and against another investiture. Go on ask them and other politicians, not least the ''Labour Socialists'' of course plus ask our ''Crachach Crowd''. Go on see where this lot of ''Self Servers'' stand on this ''Another Investiture'' issue. So what do you think, is it really worth while bothering to work ourselves up about this or should we just go with the flow and make life easy for ourselves? After all, who wants the ''Goon Squads'' giving us an hard time and getting jabbed by little old ladies for protesting against another English Prince of Wales, if you demonstrate at the Gate of Castell Caernarfon on 1 July 2009. All of which I am leaving to the ''Heroes'', don't hold your breath, but lets see what message is delivered at Rali Cilmeri this year. Be interesting to see if it's up to the measure of Patriotic Call to an Adfywiad Gwladgarol as at Rali Cilmeri 1968. Back to the matter of that 'Exhibition of Shame' aforementioned, possibly if I had seen this sooner, I just might have thrown the towel in? Whatever, I must say that I am totally amazed that in 40 years the ''Venedotians'' have not either established an Centre for the history of the Native Princes of Wales at Aberfraw, plus an exhibition in Caernarfon itself telling the true story of Conquest 1282/3/4, not least for our own people to be told the truth let alone 1000's of tourists who annually visit the 'English Royal Borough'. I would have considered this to have been an 'Uno Numero' 100% Nationalist Priority to have got done post 1969, but it's not to late is it? So, think it over fast!

Hope that was interesting, as it may be on 1st July 2009, if the ''Heroes'' are up for some protesting that is, we will see? Maybe, after viewing the ''Hall of Shame'', like me you might start thinking, why bother?
