IVEY PLACE PATRIOTS PROTEST AGAINST RENEWABLES ROBBER BARONS - BE THERE, YES?

A BIG DECISION – TO FIGHT BACK OR FLIGHT?

That was the question which faced those that met at Llysglyndyfrdwy, Corwen on the  16 Medi 1400, why such a big decision? Now I am getting ahead of myself as this is the title and subject of an Embassy Glyndwr statement I am working on for issue on 16 Medi 2014. This will be prior to result of the Scottish referendum on Independence, the result of which will impact on Wales, Welsh Nationalism and any hoped for struggle for Welsh Independence? You as Welsh Patriots will have a few days to digest the content of this statement and not least consider, discuss and debate during ‘Yr Wythnos Glyndwr 16 – 24 Medi 2014’ as you participate in celebration and commemoration of our National Hero Owain Glyndwr and the War of National Liberation 1400 – 16 – 21.

 

However, right now you have your own present ‘Big Decision’ to make as same those of 16 Medi 1400 are you going to stand up and be counted are you going to walk up to the line and cross it? Are you as those of 16 Medi 1400 ready and willing to confront colonialism, thus fight back and this you can do on the 9 Medi 2014 at Ivey Place, Abertawe out side the Grand Hotel. Whilst those of 16 Medi 1400 were to take up a great challenge to confront ‘Old Conquistadors' it will be your duty to find the courage and commitment to take on ‘New Conquistadors’, the Wind Mill Masters in league with an old ‘Robber Baron’ the Duke of Somerset of the ‘Beaufort Bunch’. So, make up your mind are you going to face down the ‘Colonial Carpet Baggers’ and make it clear to them, thus far no further! Think on it, think on it hard, it is a big decision do not, I suggest make the wrong decision and go into flight as it really is time to fight back.

 

There but a few days left for you to decide and then make ready to demonstrate your discontent  with our Country being made CORPORATE COLONY CYMRU. You, thus need to fast prepare Banners and Placards. I have done so already but I will not be at Ivey place but from the early hours will be roaming Mawr putting up posters to greet RWE and the Councillors on way to Junket at the Mynydd Y Betws Sub Station. I have requested those who can participate in the ‘Demonstration of Discontent’ to set up a picket protest at this Sub Station whilst others may wish to gather at the ‘Stryveland Cross’ under Penllegaer Castle remains below which are the cross roads that lead to Mynydd Y Betws and Mynydd y Gwair Wind Farms. Here, at the ‘Stryveland Cross’ a Protest Installation will be established and so three locations from which you may choose to participate in protest. Please Patriots now is the time to be ‘Partisans Cymru’ of a ‘Welsh Peoples Popular Resistance’ against the so called ‘Renewables Republic’ that in reality is no more than ‘Tan 8 Terrorism’ that seeks the desecration of our Land Scape Heritage and devastation of our Childrens rich rural inheritance  NOW TARO NOL!

 

In conclusion

 

I have heard the RWE meeting has been moved to the Dragon Hotel, this may be disinformation to thwart successful Patriotic Protest, so check out via the web. Note the Grand Hotel as an excellent History Exhibition in side, do go see as well as attend the RWE meeting if that is possible? Finally, keep this well in mind, what point in a rather shallow ‘Welsh Independence’ if in reality our Country is still one under the heel of an old Conquest and Colonialism as well more victim to further Cheque Book Conquest and Colonialism, well? Think!

JUST WHEN ONE THOUGHT THINGS WERE GETTING BETTER - KAPUT!!!

The below post was written with some optimism but now, how matters can become pessimistic so fast, better check out these links before reading the post below which now could be defunct?

http://newllys.blogspot.co.uk/

Given recent Euro Election results and the advance into Wales of UKIP much stated by Plaid Cymru and it’s fellow travellers as an ‘English Nationalist Party, I cannot wonder why a Party carrying the flag of UK Independence did so well over and above Plaid Cymru which has been in existance since 1925.

 

The usual excuses have been made cheifly that Plaid Cymru is kicked into touch by England’s Centralist Media whislt on the Patriotic Fringe much is made about English settlement over a wide area of our land, both English Speaking Wales and ‘Cymraeg’ speaking Cymru aka our old medieval ‘Marcher Wallia’ and ‘Pura Wallia’. Such situations will not change!

 

Such excueses are of no worth while apology perhaps for failiure of Plaid Cymru not to go fourth and advance under the Banner of Welsh Independence. Following aforesaid Election I have listened to Leanne Wood President of Plaid Cymru waffle on this subject but more power to her elbow as other Plaid Cymru leaders are staying well out of the way regards the Party failiure and on the question of ‘Welsh Independence’.

 

Same their fellow travellers on fb who if not still making anti – Farage derogatory remarks and winding themselves up over the Scots Independence referendum also seem at a loss. Perhaps not total loss as one group on the ‘Patriotic Fringe’ is calling for a ‘Rallies For Welsh Independence’ in Canton in July, though it’s not clear to me if this is also in support of ‘Scots Independence’ as well or indeed chiefly?

 

Myself see now a real matter of urgency for Plaid Cymru members to get in motions to their Party’s Autumn Conference to have Plaid Cymru place ‘Welsh Independence’ to the fore front of Party aims and agenda with campaigning programme to suit. As whilst I would support ‘Rallies for Welsh Independence’ with reservation, I nevertheless see as imperative to have at least one major Political Party lead the way and fully fight this corner. Having said that, I am also mindfull as to just how well supported is the Scots ‘Independence’ Referendum Campaign by Scots ‘Intellectuals’ and ‘Intelligensia’ also it’s Creative areas. Just how woud such ‘Establishments’ play out in Wales in a ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ campaign?

 

To conclude, to inspire and maybe prompt ‘Independence Doubters’ to support hopefully a soon to be ‘Welsh Independence’ Campaign. I remind that soon on 21 Mehefin will be anniversary of ‘Senedd Glyndwr 1404’  - Senedd Cenedl Cymru Rydd being eastablished in Machynlleth at which he was crowned Owain IV ‘Tywysog Cymru – An Independence day worthy of our commemoration and celebration as ‘Dydd Sofraniaeth’ as Embassy Glyndwr declared on 21 Mehefin 2004.

AT LAST OTHER NATIONALISTS ARE CATCHING UP WITH EMBASSY GLYNDWR IN SEEKING OUR INDEPENDENCE AS A PRIORITY, WHY NOW?

Possibly embarrassed with Plaid Cymru looking as if doing badly in Euro Elections and prompted by the get up and go of the 'Brave and Bold' Scottish Nationalists, certain Welsh Nat leading lights are at last coming up to the line but kind of getting it wrong as we make clear in our blogs > 

GALWAD GLYNDŴR

NEWYDDION LLYSGENHADAETH GLYNDWR

Whatever, but is that all there is to this all of a sudden rush to Independence from within certain circles of Plaid Cymru and what does the Plaid Cymru leadership think about this? Indeed will this leadership be signing up to the 'Rallies For Welsh Independence Initiative? sad to say but I guess it's a truth we have learned over many years of having to work without solid political Nationalist support, it is an up hill struggle. Thus, before this new Independence Initiative can truly reach out to the people it needs to reach out to the Plaid Cymru rank and file an not least the Plaid Cymru Leadership. How do you do that, obvious to me but not in seems to the 'movers and shakers' of the new Independence Initiative quite simply it requires they to make sure motions go before the Plaid Cymru Autumn Conference seeking of Plaid Cymru that they make 'Welsh Independence' their priority objective number one and at the same time they fully back the 'Rallies For Wales Initiative' as Embassy Glyndwr will.


However, only if they commit to supporting our 21 Mehefin 'Dydd Sofraniaeth' pobl Glyndwr gathering at Machynlleth and 16 Medi 'Dydd Glyndwr' national celebrations and 'Cymanfaoedd Glyndwr' at Corwen on Saturday 20 Medi 2014. Great opportunity to visit Llys Glyndyfrdwy where after all the first great call for Welsh Independence went out to the people, going on to visit Caerdrewyn from where on 18 Medi Glyndwr led a small army on a great raid across the North East to skirmish with the English at Vyrnwy on the 24 Medi 1400. There you can become even 'Braver and Bolder' by committing to carrying out continuing Tarian Glyndwr campaigning for the liberation of the Vyrnwy Estate from out of the hands of the Severn Trent Authority.

ANNUALLY COMMEMORATING 16 MEDI 'DYDD GLYNDWR'

But first, the most obvious time and place to launch a renewed campaign for Welsh Independence, is not in a Canton Pub in Caerdydd but in Machynlleth on 21 Mehefin 2014. Even though those responsible for the 'Plaid Cymru Canton Beer Hall Putsch' (excuse the joke!) for their own reason cannot see it this way but as others want to stay glued to Caerdydd, maybe because of WAG Assembly pretentions? So, I hope they will reconsider and those drawn to support them will push them in the following direction >

21 mehefin 2014 'dydd senedd glyndwr 1404 'cymanfuoedd ...

 

To conclude, I cannot fail to wonder, is this new 'Rallies For Welsh Independence' as an 'Independence Platform' actually preparing the way for a new pro - Independence Nationalist Party? If it is, I foresee it as being  right wing enterprise that is easy to detect a possibility in seeing who is supporting this new Initiative and reading their comments in reply to the Alan Jobbins article in Daily Wales:

Let's rally for Welsh independence this summer – Daily Wales

Whatever, Embassy Glyndwr will continue to support so far but we will continue to advance our own initiatives based on the foundations we have established so far at Corwen, Machynlleth and through out the land and add to this  as we will at both places aforementioned this year. Not least with regards to 'Cynulliad Sofraniaeth 2015' and regards restoration of 'Senedd Glyndwr - Cenedl Cymru Rydd in 2016' our new initiatives to be developed and advanced with clear objectives and purpose in case that other 'New Initiative' fails to deliver! As it might well do as I am struck by the fact that those rushing to their colours are on the whole those who see the cause as some thing to be carried out on fb and not on the Streets or Mountains of Cymru/Wales. I am bemused when I see amongst these not so stalwart champions of a 'Welsh Independence, those who have yet to engage in any ACTION, PROTEST, CAMPAIGN = STRUGGLE in defence of our Country and Communities. Thus I see in this new Initiative something that promises  to engage in harmless activity as parading about and posturing when in reality to advance their cause, I suggest they at least follow the example of the IS and SWP who regular set up stalls on the high street to sell their literature and give out leaflets. Far better this was carried out on Queen Street on 19 July than hanging out at the Duke of Clarence in Canton, that says little and achieves less, fact!

If these Nationalists were really up for Welsh Independence, they might first consider what worth this so called 'Welsh Independence' if at all it was achieved ''politically' was not more a mask to hide the reality of what is fast taking shape 'in our faces' now COPORATE COLONY CYMRU!

Thus, I suggest that if your really serious about 'Welsh Independence' you will start fighting for it, not in another 'Comfort Zone' as a Rali Cilmeri or fb but in CONFRONTATION with those now exploiting us and in reality making 'Independence' a false dream as it will not be true economic Independence, certainly not if this so called 'New Independence Initiative' continues to tow the Plaid Cymru line of keeping us chained to the E.U. EMPIRE that surely would be farcical! So, while you all wait for these questions to be answered, I suggest you rush to the colours of a 'Confrontation with Colonialism' on Mawr during Mis Awst  to be launched on 6 July 2014 in an Ysbryd Beca Commemoration in Pontarddulais and at the Bolgoed Rebecca Memorial..

CYMRWCH Y TIR YN OL/TAKE BACK THE LAND

Thinking ahead, why not a 'Cyfamod Annibyniaeth' and what better place to carry out than at 'Cerrig Cyfamod Glyndwr' at the Battle of Hyddgen site. Maybe over the May BH (at end of the Month) 2015, think on it?

THE BATTLE OF HYDDGEN SPRING 1401 REVISTED ...

 

How is this for promoting 'Independence Impact Idea', why not an Independence Motorcade from Caerdrewyn Car Park on 18 Medi (day of Scots referendum) along route of Owain Glyndwr's great raid 18 - 24 Medi 1404. Calling a same towns to show the flag and give out handbills, consider and let us know if interested in such an idea.

Juratus Oweyn

JURATUS OWEYN NOT ICH DEIN - Time To Brush Away The Three Feathers.

Time to brush away ‘feathers’ duster?

SIR – In response to the letter by Clem Thomas entitled A Symbol of the nation’s conqueror (January 17) we at Embassy Glyndwr wish to make clear that while we have made our Baner Glyndwr Campaign a priority, we wholeheartedly agree that ridding ourselves of the despicable three feathers and its motto of “I serve” should also command an overriding patriotic priority in a post-devolution Cymru which continues to strive, hopefully, as vigorously for independence as the Scots and Catalans.

Space here does not allow for us to disclose the entire history as to how we got lumbered with this badge and motto, suffice to say that we cannot blame the English this time as it was the London Welsh of the Ancient Society of Britons in 1715 (during the year of the first Jacobite revolt) and later, the Cymrodorion shortly after the later Jacobite Revolt of 1745, who adopted the three feathers and the motto I serve. Why? Simply because “Uncle Taffy” was more than eager to express loyalty to the English Crown as a means of self interest and advancement, and the same cultural capitalist class continued in this loyalty to the English Crown in the 19th century for, essentially, the same reasons. For a prime example of this slavish servility, one has but to read the Book Wales: In the Story of Nations written by OM Edwards, who concludes his book with the following statement:

In the developing patriotism of the British Colonies, the Welshman has been among the foremost in devotion and energy. The first period of Welsh history ends with the poet’s lament for its fallen princes; the second ends with the poet’s vision of a future of more self-conscious life and of greater service. The motto of Wales is to be that of its prince – Ich dien...”

Ich dien is German for I serve and OM Edwards was referring to the English Prince of Wales who was, by then, using this badge and motto as an official heraldic badge. If we are to be serious in regards to becoming an independent nation, then we must get serious in regards to ridding ourselves of such symbolic chains of conquest from around our ankles and, as is the case with the Richmond Rag, Embassy Glyndwr has campaigned for years for our fellow Cymry to use the Glyndwr Four Lions Rampant badge instead of the Ich dien feather duster.

We are delighted that Clem has, also, called for unity to realise this aim and we hope as many patriotic Cymry as possible take advantage of the international rugby season get rid of or, cover the three feathers on their WRU shirts with the Four Lions Rampant and the logo Juratus Oweyn (I’m faithful to Owain) a logo that inspired and meant a great deal to Grav, the great Ray Gravell.

CENEDL GLYNDWR - CENEDL CYMRU RYDD RECOGNISES BUT ONE FLAG - BANER GLYNDWR NOT THE 'RICHMOND RAG'.

Regards the report by your Chief Reporter Martin Shipton entitled “Council’s union flag disgrace” which appeared in the Western Mail on January 8, I was astonished and disappointed to read in the report that Dennis Morris, the Chairman of a newly formed ‘Plaid Glyndŵr was concerned enough to speak out in condemnation of Abergwaun Council for flying the Union Jack rather than Y Ddraig Goch. As, both, the movements Cofiwn and Embassy Glyndŵr has pointed out repeatedly over the last forty yrs, Y Ddraig Goch flag, as a flag, originated with the Tudor pretenders to the English Throne who were quite willing to display the Red Dragon on green and white Bannerettes and ‘make play’ of it’s links to Cadwaladr and Uther Pendragon to win over the Cymry to their cause but, once Henry VII was crowned, they promptly discarded their Tudor and Cymric connections preferring to be known as the ‘Richmonds’. Then, the ‘Tudor Handle’ was resurrected again for ‘British’ use by an English historian of the 18^th century as, indeed,  was the Stuart, Georgian and Victorian handles whilst, the flag as it is today,  was only ‘given’ to us as our ‘National’ flag by the Queen of England in 1959.

Mr. Morris has chosen to use the name of ‘Glyndŵr’ for his new political party so, the question begs to be asked, why is he not promoting the flying of ‘Baner Glyndŵr’ – the flag of Glyndŵr on all Official and Civic buildings in Cymru - as Embassy Glyndŵr has tirelessly done so for the last 16yrs? Why on earth is he fighting the cause of the ‘Richmond Rag’, a symbol of subservience, insidiously used to weaken our true political patriotism and any hope that we may have in uniting our nation in a ‘national independence’ struggle in the real sense of the term.

 

Over the years, whilst we have been promoting the flying of the Baner Glyndŵr – the true ‘uncompromising’ flag of an Independent Cymru, Embassy Glyndŵr has encountered, over and over, the weak excuse from “faint hearted” Cymric patriots that…”Y Ddraig Goch is accepted worldwide now…we can’t change that”  Our answer to that is, If we cannot even unite to secure that little, that could lead to so much, why pretend that you are prepared to fight the British State for Cymric Independence?  If free South Africa can replace the Boer/British Flag with a new flag and the ‘Old South States’ of the USA can ditch the Confederate Battle Flag as a ‘State Flag’, why can’t we be mature and strong enough to demand the Four Lions Rampant of Owain Glyndŵr – the true flag of an Independent Wales as handed down to us by Prince Owain Glyndŵr, our true Tywysog Cymru, as our National flag?

 

This week, I went to see the Film ‘Mandela’ and throughout the film, I was reminded that the ANC got what they struggled for because they stood united and refused to compromise their ideals so, our message to you Mr. Morris is, if you wish to use the name of Glyndŵr for your party then you have to respect his ideals which he did not compromise so, NO COMPROMISE! If you and other Political Patriots want to declare for one Country and one flag, let it be for a restored Cenedl Glyndŵr – Cenedl Cymru Rydd symbolically represented by the Four Lions Rampant. Its time for Cymric political nationalists to wake up and realize that our symbols must boldly declare what we stand for and distinguish they from those symbols (such as the Union and Richmond rags) that insidiously display us, , as being ‘Loyal’ to England aka ‘Greater Britain’.

This year, 2014 is quite possibly the 660^th anniversary of the birth of Owain Glyndŵr (1354) A great opportunity of course to organize events and parties to celebrate this birth and to blanket our nation in Baner Glyndŵr but, is Mr. Morris and other Cymric patriots and Nationalists up to the challenge of seriously promoting such? We shall see.
