WHITHER A WELSH IDENTITY HENCE? (An OND 'Close Down' Post Script, for God sake Gethin give it up!, no one is listening or rather wants to know the truth of it!)


Since the 'Sixties' Y Crachach Newydd have strived to create our identity based on their largely 'Rural Rooted' past and present manipulated anew to suit their coming of age with the establishment of a Welsh Language Industry and not least a 'Cymric Media Crach' largely resident in Cardiff and in particular within the 'Pontcanna Patagonia' and at a stretch Bontfaen and no doubt Bae Caerdydd, anywhere but in 'Y Fro Cymraeg'. I could go on but suffice to say this class has had until recent times a major influence upon Welsh Nationalism making of it more a Cultural Nationalism though now as this political Trojan Horse is no longer needed as a means of advancing the well heeled 'Plant Trefechan Bridge'. It's influences are still all and everywhere furthering their vision of what our 'Welsh Identity' should be, one based on the native language, all very well if that language had not been hijacked by the Tudor/Richmond Reformists to further Protestantism and make the 'Acts of Union' solidify towards a Cambro - Britishness. Essentially nothing changed very much over the years that followed up to the 19th century with the rise of a 'New Protestantism' that of Non - Conformity so condemned for it's Cymric ambivalence by Proffessor Hywel Teifi Edwards. even in our own times Gwynfor Evans RIP President of Plaid Cymru was influenced by this Cambro - Britishness which he politically modernized as seeking a new Act of Union in a 'British Federation' which recently arch traitor Dafydd Elis Thomas reinvented and no doubt a post 2016 British Election Plaid Cymru will increasing adopt more as their only way forward having been politically squeezed again and perhaps pushed aside by UKIP. 

So, what of a Welsh Identity for starters it must be a rejection of that being pushed on us by the above 'Plant Bont Trefechan' and the new post Devolution Dilettante new 'Cambro - Britishess' of WAG Welsh Labour. We must seek a future Welsh Identity on that advanced by the Founding Fathers of Cenedl Glyndwr who the Tudors sought to kick into the shadows of Welsh History but then take aboard the beliefs of the Father of Welsh Nationalism Iolo Morgannwg and create an identity in our own image, that of the past pobl Glyndwr and the present day Fighters for Welsh Freedom and Independence not the Political, Cultural and Grant Grabbing Arts Establishments and a spineless Intellectual Establishment all of whom to be honest push me towards an Anti - Independence camp not wishing to be ruled by these Gombeens and Lickspittals.  Now read this:

Also a must:



Getting Real or somewhere near it but for some lazy dumb dopes out there on the pathetic Patriotic Fringe, much needs to be set aside and we will begin again in commemoration of the Birth and death of Iolo Morgannwg:


Forgetting all that Rali Cilmeri Crap - a Grave Yard for Radical pointless Nationalism, buckle up and on with the Gauntlets and wise up as there is now only these calls to action worth listening to and following:

GOT GUMPTION? GOT COMMITMENT? GOT GUTS? IF THE ANSWER THRICE NO? NO? NO? THEN GET A GRIP ASAP BEFORE 30 SEPTEMBER 2013 AS THIS BLOG IS CLOSING DOWN AND THE BROAD BAND TOO - DA BOCH CHI FOR REAL THIS TIME, MAYBE?


IF YOU HAD ANY GUMPTION:

                                                    Then you might think it over that the Patriot Game is but that a game, I have seen political activity of all kinds in three countries and that includes Wales or if you like Cymru for what that is worth. Whatever, Wales/Cymru today Patriotically is really Cheesy' as it gets!!! I mean Balchder Cymru, what is that? then there is WNRM as now an 'off shoot' of CBRD, what is that about? What Wales/Cymru needs is not these fb Fantasy Fusiliers but more such as a Terra Firma reality as:

Is there no one out there, some 'Young Bloods' who can handle such as that above as if it is left to BC, don't fool yourselves your being duped by Play Station Patriots aka 'Nappy Rash Warriors'. Basically BC now is all about Russell organising 'gigs' for Adam to bang his drum at, ain't that the truth of it or are you really that deluded to believe other wise? Fools you but the joke is on Cymru/Wales really as it is all just the product of Rali Cilmeri Crap - Grave yard of Alternative Nationalist Struggle and increasingly a gathering for Welsh Nationalist 'Alternative Alcoholics Anonymous', hardly as the Scots Bannockburn or Irish Bodenstown Cilmeri is far from being the platform of real Patriotic Struggle it once was, better it faded away as no good hence will come out of it and that's the truth of it all too sadly- a 'WECTU WONDERLAND'.



Then there is Plaid Cymru and by now genuine Nationalists should know what that is now but then I guess we got to acknowledge it has made a contribution to the advance of Cultural Nationalism having shit out on Capel Celyn and walk away from the 'Tryweryn Troubles'. It made being Plaid Y Crachach Newydd it's real  purpose until their future was well made up and secured for posterity via a mega 'Cymric Cultural/Language Industry' that has failed to defend and up hold even 'Y Fro Cymraeg' but continues to favour life in their 'Pontcanna Patagonia' . So now Plaid Cymru has become the Party of Devolution Dilettante Opportunism and Careerism of the WAG kind down in Bae Caerdydd. Where are the 'Tygers' now when needed to blow that rotten ship out of the water and make the 'Waggers' walk the plank into Cardiff Bay. Other than that one could consider Plaid Cymru having become the 'New Green Party' as what remained of an 'Old School Nationalism' give way to Entryist Student Politics of the Green Washer and Green Carpet Bagger kind that seeks to make of Cymru/Wales one vast Windmill Industrial Estate as England's Battery Pack much in the financial Interest of a Plaid Cymru linked 'Crachach Windmill Mafia' headed up by such as Llywelyn Rhys, Eryl Fychan along with Cynog Davis and the Ceredigion Crew. Politically Cymru/Wales has but one future radical road to follow and that is of the Great Unrest Initiative of Yr Aflonyddwch Mawr working towards an 'Inter Communal' Wales Socialist Republican Party.


So, to Commitment, not much of that around unless your into Grant Grabbing and that is why you will not see many of the Cultural Arts/Music Establishment and it's many Slaves to Saxon Silver hangers on being involved in any of our most urgent struggles unless of course it is for Yr Hen Iaith possibly as 'Cultural Credits' are always useful to the Self Advancers and Self Seekers of Self  Interest. Commitment means just that commitment not to oneself or class or self interest group but to Country, Communities and increasingly a Colonial Underclass, as well a patriotic cause of campaigning not least as follows, being of the great priority of Welsh History Hedge Teaching and Cymric Consciousness Campaigning:






As for Guts. not much of that around otherwise we would see more Patriots in Action in campaigns of defending their Homeland, campaigns as:





So, get it? Time you began to smell the Coffee and seen the writing on the wall and not fool yourselves on fb trivializing of what should and must be a radical National Liberation Struggle and not the 'Taff Foolery' as witnessed at Rali Cilmeri that as no real patriotic purpose anymore. If you cannot get to grip with any of the above, then I suggest you do yourselves a favour and take up something that may provide you with a profitable hobby as Adam is doing with Cambria Band and Russell with his Patriotic Merchandizing. Here are some suggestions:



or, otherwise engage in an healthy Interest as:


Me. I am off to be a Pirate and sail the Severn Seas with the 'Tygers'



Never mind; the Gumption, Commitment or Guts, lets just have fun!

Creative Writing:


Get some Religion:


The Future is Celtic:


Well that's it folks, your on your own now. If you insist on being a Patriot at least seek to become as i for many years with others once upon a time were ADFYWIADWR GWLADGAROL :


Not be fb Fantasy Island Fusiliers as:


''Who will defend Wales'' , I don't think it will be Adam Phillips and crew, do you? if you do SIGH!!!

Hwyl!

24 MEDI THIS DAY IN HISTORY 1400 CLASH OF ARMS AT VYRNWY FOLLOWED BY A 21 YEAR STRUGGLE FOR WELSH INDEPENDENCE ALL RATHER POINTLESS WHEN TODAY WE END UP WITH PLAID CYMRU NON NATIONALIST PARTY OF WALES WITH A MEMBERSHIP IN MAIN TODAY OF OLD TIME SERVERS AND POST DEVOLUTION DILETTANTE 'ENTRYISTS' OF THE GREEN WASHER KIND - SO THINKING AHEAD ......


.......Not much hope is there?


 http://stryveland.blogspot.co.uk/



Balchder Cymru's Back Yard and they cannot find their way to the Vyrnwy Estate for a protest, why? Maybe too busy shopping in Chester, Banging Drums and making Mugs of other Patriots who just might one day realize that fighting a cause requires protest campaigns, if we are to ever really build a national Liberation Struggle for Welsh Independence. The 'Balchder Bullshitters' for sure will not deliver and so, is that it just more of the same, well if that is it then surely the Patriot Game is over, FIN!


If all we going to get is Flintshire's fb Fantasy Island Fusilier Adam Phillips just banging his drum as at >

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YrgWfDzxdk

Whilst his Second in Command Russell G. Morris adds Painting and decorating to his Mug Making......God help!!!



Nice one  Russ, do you think you can do the same at Vyrnwy? You might then start to get a grip on Wales, I think the only thing you got a grip of is? No I want go there!!!




  As for this BC Bullshitter stuff: 




Where do you people come from? we don't need a million Glyndwr's, just an handful of 'Balchderiaid' will do for starters, can you try and be like Patriotic Fronters in the 'Sixties', not a vast movement by any means proably less in seeming support than all your fb 'Laughable Linkers' who appear to link to anything out there on fb that appears to be of a patriotic 'Gung Ho' nature but what do they actually do? I am beginning to suspect that whilst Adam has all the Fun with the band and Russell doing what he considers the 'Hard Stuff' they are both being lead on by their 'Laughable Linkers'. But then I am possibly being do harsh on Adam and Russell, they do other stuff of use, not quite 'Gung Ho' but still some useful stuff as organising 'Gigging' for Charities and 'Tramping' about to Cilmeri, Abergele and Tryweryn but not actually campaigning is it really? So, who do you think the above fools, does not fool me but seems to have fooled John Jenkins and Owain Williams along with Denis Coslett RIP enough to provide BC with Passports, pretty sad if you ask me.


I don't think they have fooled Leanne Wood though but then if she and Plaid Cymru are the only other Nationalist Alternative, then it is a case of Patriot Game well and truly over and I ain't too sorry to quit this 'Sideshow Nationalism' that will have a great rude awakening if the SNP does not pull off Independence in the 2014 Referendum. What will Plaid Cymru do then, it will not be carry on regardless in struggle for Welsh Independence.  No! I think the DET 'British Confederation' will become the Plaid Policy, so where will that leave their 'Closet Camp Followers' who flirt with such as Balchder Cymru and what looks increasingly like a Renegade WNRM which is it appears dropping concerns regards the 'Windmilling of Wales' and instead putting 'Fracking' and 'Militarism' to the fore' Looks to me as if this is not quite what Ex Cyfamodwr Geoff Ifans had in mind but no doubt concerns about the 'Housing Mewnlifiad' will keep him quite as this is the measure of his 'Closet Cultural Nationalism' (he's never got over the death of Adfer). For sure it is more and more obvious to me that WNRM now is a platform for the likes of Dunkley, Leon (and Foster?) who are well known for their 'Green Pacifism' (plus phony Republicanism) and as 'Leanne Luvvies' camp followers of Plaid Cymru another reason for the 'Windmilling of Wales' being dropped from being a major concern for 'Hawliau'. Think there is a need for Nationalists to go back to the drawing board and get out of the CBRD clutches, that is not difficult to suss out really.



THE GREEN LADY IS NOT FOR TURNING, So Plaid Members must continue to go Green? No one has the guts to oppose, not even 'Closet Cilmeriaid' as Keith Parry who once upon a time  loved to flirt with ''extremists'' and in recent times opposed the 'Windmilling of Wales' but now, perhaps now he's become a Leanne Lap Dog and post Devolution political careerist.



Why is it, do I get the impression Leanne would make a good used car sales person but the girl cannot be all that bad as in her Wikipedia write up she puts Lewis Lewis down as her hero but then this >.


Hand on heart, if she would only ditch this 'Windmilling of Wales' treachery I would put up with all her fast tracking Faslane and not being a keen 'Fracker' but not doing much to stop another Rape of the Fair Country. On the whole I would not otherwise be so critical of her politics or Plaid Cymru leadership as on the whole she is quite radically sound or at least appears to be but then 'Politicians' are any of them worth trusting?

  1. Can the Senior Citizens, unemployed and the otherwise Colonial Underclass get in free?

    DO NOT LET PLAID CYMRU GET AWAY WITH MURDERING OUR NATION AND COMMUNITIES, Anti - Windmill Groups should picket this conference and give out leaflets. Leanne Wood, is Green and by 2016 will be an has been but if not Wales is in big trouble for sure and seriously need to embark on a radical red National Liberation Struggle with the Great Unrest:

Well, not long now and my Patriot Game is over and I really do not have much more to say other than this post could be the last one, maybe (6 days to go to close down)  So just in case it is Da Boch Chi, see you at the storming of the Welsh Assembly? Otherwise, for Nats who want to get serious you must now rise to the occasion and save the day as Wales is at the 11th Hour and we can not waste time with fb Fantasy Island Foolishness, now please some of you get real as 'Stryvelanders Cymru', see blog at top. Otherwise there is much to do as follows:



Otherwise Go Left - Patriots Be Partisans



Gethin.



Putting on my Glyndwr Cap, you really want to see a 'Million Glyndwrs', then here's what you got to do, no messing but three years of effort with enthusiasm and lots of energy. Now get cracking and stop acting as fb 'Cream Crackers' who will crumble if the going really got tough!!!

Think I will do one last post before close down, it will be titled as
