Got to take a break, have been giving it a good going over the summer so far, in hope that a bit of an Adfywiad Gwladgarol might have been on the cards. Sufficient enough to 'STORM THE CASTLE - CLOSE IT DOWN', thanks for not listening to me, or I might be locked up by now? However, must congratulate our ''Barrio Warriors'' of BALCHDER CYMRU who did have patriotic commitment and courage to make a stand at the Gate of Caernarfon Castle on 1st July 2009.

I suggest to they to stand down now, and like me not bother with this Gwynedd business again, its their Prince we've been worrying about with all the harping on about 1282. Over the past months I have laboured in blogs and in mailings attempting to get Patriots, particularly so called ''Welsh Republicans'' to seize opportunity of Occasion to publicly declare in no uncertain terms that Wales does not want another English Prince of Wales. However, most it seems prefer to sign petitions and parade about at Cilmeri and in Caerdydd on Dydd Dewi rather than go anywhere near radically protesting. Pathetic Yes!
.
Of course as I pointed out there was no sign of newly elected Gorsedd member and new mate for the Lord Protector, I am talking of course of Henry Jones Davies, founder of Cambria Magazine. No doubt HJD was initiator of the pathetic 'on line' passive petition against another Investiture of an English Prince of Wales. Bullshit! of course like previous Cambria petitions this is all just a ploy to get more subscribers for Cambria Magazine. Whatever, when push comes to shove or has they used to say in the ''Sixties'', the first sniff of trouble and more than one so called Welsh Patriot will crap out! I guess 'Cambrianistas' can be counted amongst the ''Cymric Crappers' along with 'Y Crachach Newydd', a number of whom with some 'Celebs Cymru' were invited to arise to occasion but chose not to do so. Wonder why? something to do with 'Saxon Shillings' I guess correctly.
.
Oh well perhaps they may sum up some courage, conviction and real patriotic commitment to go into action by 2011 - 100th Anniversary of the 1911 Investiture (go for a Carlo 'Lookalike' Carnival, see Pwca Power blog, and start planning asap) , or by 2014 - 45th Anniversary of the 1969 Investiture, or 2019 - 50th Anniversary of the 1969 Investiture. However, who knows Wales might just get a real Investiture of William Wales - your next English Princes of Wales to be invested in Caernarfon. This is for sure guaranteed now that Patriots for the most part have shown an element of 'National Cowardice' when push comes to shove - WALES IS A PUSH OVER!
.
Next time around don't expect me to be out in front, or even in the vanguard of Patriotic Protest, and my advice to BALCHDER CYMRU is to give it a miss too! Thus, next time around if any of the 'laxitave legion' are up for organising protest rather than slavish petitioning, don't call me and don't expect me to call you ok! For the life of me how did I expect Welsh Patriots to massively mobilise on the streets of Caernarfon on 1st July 2009 when they cannot even get onto the streets marching for Welsh Independence. Really, I can only perceive the so called Welsh National Struggle to have become not just ineptly passive but bloody down right boring to say the least. If the annual Rali Cilmeri and Dewi Day Parade in Cardiff is the ultimate expression of Welsh Nationalist Struggle, God Help! and thus really is.......

TIME TO GO LEFT!

On the whole over coming years up to 2011 I shall be focusing more time over on my RED REMEMBRANCER blog, and working how best to be involved with informing on, and active in commemorations of the Tonpandy Riots 1910 and Llanelli Riots 1911. This year is already witnessing anniversaries connected with Alexander Cordell - 50th Anniversary of publishing of Rape of the Fair Country, also a number of Chartist Commemorations are already underway and will continue into next year. So if you want to be more informed get copies of below brochures, and google their websites. Plus go read my posts in RED REMEMBRANCER blog, visit that blog from time to time because that is the area I shall now be focusing on - Peoples History rather than Prattling on about Princes.

A final Nationalist foot note: today is the first of August - 725th Anniversary of Edward I holding his 1282 - 84 Conquest of Gwynedd party in Edward's Field, Nefyn. I had suggested 'Gwladgarwyr Gwynedd' hold a Baner Llywelyn III rising ceremony atop Garn Boduon to symbolise 'Yma o Hyd'. Today would have been the preferable day to do this, but I guess through Awst 2009 will be alright. I shall try to do it with my 1831 Merthyr Rising flag sometime later in the month whilst others might wish to do it with White Eagle or Welsh Republican Flags or Baneri Glyndwr. Which ever, you prefer but note I would be interested in copies of fotos of your flag raising please, diolch!

PS:

By Xmas a number of blogs will conclude and close down, as The Welsh Patriot and Adfywiad Gwladgarol blogs. In the New Year my AWNM&S Hist Archive and Cofiwn Archive blogs will also disappear from the web, by 2011 only Pwca Power blog and Tan y Bont - Gothic blog will be on the web. As post 2011 I am retiring from all forms of Patriotic and Political activity, to instead indulge myself in various forms of more creative pass times. Jasus! 50 years in this cause is enough for anyone?
.
Hwyl.
