Of course it's not new to Welsh History that certain chapters and people are white washed out of history, sanitized or placed in the shadows when it comes to writing up our history. Please Welsh Nationalists do not blame the English this time around, our own Indigenous Traitor Class - 'Y Crachach' have been doing this since they sold out to the Tudors Protestant Reformation and collaborated with the 'Act of Annexation 1536' and please do not just blame the Welsh Gentry, our Cymric Bards had much to do with it as did later Welsh Non - Conformist Liberals in the 19th Century. Be it the writing out off history, Owain Glyndwr by Welsh Tudor Historians, or LIb-Lab and later pacifist Plaid Cymru, all chose to forget about Revolutionaries as Merthyr/Hirwaun Insurrection 1831 Revolutionary leader Lewis Lewis - Lewsyn yr Heliwr. As for Edward Morgan and other leaders and indeed the Scotch Cattle Workers Defence Organisation 1831 - 1839 (last SC incident recorded at Aberdar 1855) well they are all but bueried as are the later more "Rough Neck" Rebeccites. So too, Welsh Republican Resistance to the 1953 English Coronation down to the PF/FWA/MAC Resistance to the 1969 Investiture, if Cayo Evans FWA has not exactly been ''Disappeared'', that's because in some odd way certain sectors of the 'Welsh Establishment' seem to prefer he remains a ''Patriotic Icon'' than the more Radically Militant John Jenkins. At the same it is interesting to note of course how acceptable Dic Penderyn is but not Merthyron Abergele, as to why surely no Welsh Patriot can be of any real doubt why? But I will leave you to work it out as to why? yourselves. As for myself I had some part to play in the 1969 Adfywiad Gwladgarol, of which information on will be found in my blog: ALTERNATIVE WELSH NATIONALIST MOVEMENT & STRUGGLE HISTORY http://awnms.blogspot.com
.
As to my involvement in such Adfywiad Gwladgarol, from this mountain of years, in my ''Grey Beard Age'' my overall rethink would be, that never would I encourage or be involved in a Militant Struggle for such as "Country & Crachach" as much of Welsh Nationalism is about, then and now. That is has bad as "Queen & Country", if per chance I could return to the 1960's and engage in an alternative struggle, I would make it more clearly a Socialist one and possibly along the lines determined by Ian Bone in 'Class War' as informed on in his book BASH THE RICH. However, as there is no chance of time trip back to the 60's then I guess a have to remain a "Victim of the Sixties". But still, I hope the Nationalist Youth of today refrain from too much enthusiastic reception of what might appear an adventurous period in our history, thankfully an history recovered and made available to a wider audience. However, some 40 years on taking much into consideration not least present and prevailing circumstances, I can only declare that I am more in favour of an Adfywiad Goch rather than an Adfywiad Gwladgarol.
.
Whatever, in both instances I consider commitment to continuing campaigning against the English Crown and another English Prince of Wales has being somewhat of a priority not least next year 2009 - 40th Anniversary of Investiture'69. Thus Protest not Petition and maybe lets March On Caernarfon next year as a kind of "Dry Run" for the future, when they decide to hold a third Investiture in that most ROYAL TOWN. However, please note, no March on Caernarfon should be organised or carried out, not least by ''Hwntws'' unless Gwladgarwyr Gwynedd call for such, as after all Llywelyn III was their Prince, as is Carlo a Prince of Pura Wallia not Marcher Wallia, according to Dr John 'Books' Davies, and he is of course correct. As the conquest of 1282 was the conquest of Gwynedd and the rest of Pura Wallia, but all the same the reality is the Welsh have adopted him as the heir to a Welsh Principality that covers the whole country. So, whatever, if no March on Caernarfon, I would still suggest you at least visit the Castle on 1 - 7 - 2009 to place Ivy Black Crosses at the gate. See other posts in this and other blogs on this subject.
