PART 1: 400 HUNDRED YEARS OF POPULAR WELSH PEOPLES AND WORKERS RESISTANCE. 1536 - 1936.
I am not talking of 'Welsh Medievalism, Native Princes, Norman Barons or English Kings pre 1536. Neither am I talking of 'Religious Wales' be it of Druids, Vicars or Preachers, other than to expose 'Religious Nationalist' lies and falsehoods associated with Protestant Cambro - Brit blurring of the reality of the Welsh being won over to the Tudors creating of an 'English Identity' that has placed us in chains or should that be in bed with the 'old enemy' since 1536. Neither does Cultural Nationalism interest me other than exposing it's lies and falsehoods perpetuated madly in 19th Century Liberal Capitalist Wales.
Then in our times since a group of middle class Aberystwyth Students sat on Trefechan Bridge and dodged being patriotically drafted to occupy the Village of Capel Celyn aka 'Tryweryn Reservior' to resist it's final destruction. Thus CyIG was born but future true Patriotism and National struggle thrown out with the bath water. Taking the moral high road to their 'Cymric Dystopia' as a newly born and encriched 'Crachach Newydd' aka 'England's Client Tribe' and well rewarded at that as firmly entrenced in Media Wales, Universities and any number of grant supported Welsh Middle Class creations, not least in the Arts the defunct 'Cymru Cymraeg' preaching Class, Teachers and Piles of Pointless Poets et al.

Why such an hard line, I recently spent a week in Dublin for the 100th Anniversary of the 1969 Easter Rising Commemoration, amongst much as attending parades, I visited four great Exhibitions:
As well visiting the Garden of Remembrance:
Also on way home took in visit to Vinegar Hill and the '98 United Irishman Centre in Enniscorthy:
All this got me thinking as to why the Irish for 100's of years fought so valiantly for their Freedom whilst as in 1916 whilst the Welsh gave up following the Glyndwr war of National Liberation or that is how it seems if you were taught Cambro - British History but that is not the complete truth for Gwerin Owain outlaws contined to fight back as 'Social Bandits' right up to 1536 being finnally suppressed by the hanging judge Rowland Lee to pacify the people in readyness to press upon them the 1536 Act of Annexation. The truths of our history in this and further periods of our history can be found in the following blogs:
TO BE CONTINUED BUT WHILE YOU WAIT TRY AND RECONSIDER THE FOLLOWING HALF AND MISTRUTHS SO IMPORTANT TO THE WELSH PROTEST RULING CLASS AS FROM 1536 TO PRESENT TIMES:
* Why do we have the Bishop Morgan 'Cymraeg' Bible made to look as a great English Gift, what exactly was the truth of this. THINKS NOW!
* Why do our Nationalist Educators always refer back to the Eisteddfod of Lord Rhys and not the Two Eisteddfods bequeathed to the Welsh Bards by Elizabeth I?
* In prologue to 1536 Act of Union why did the Tudor administrators go to town in hate of 'Cymraeg' but by time of Elizabeth first come to love 'Cymraeg', WHY?
Lets jump forward now:
* Why do we get so much teaching of Religion, Preachers, Esiteddfods in the 19th Century and not even Princes fighting invaders and certainly taught nothing about Peasants and Workers fighting for their rights and this is why I am having a really deep think and reassessment of the role o Welsh History and along with it a new Radical Patriotic Left Partisan Purpose.
DO ALSO CONSIDER THIS, HENCE RADICAL ACTIVISTS SHOULD CONSIDER THEMSELVES TO BE 'REPUBLICANS' NOT 'NATIONALISTS' ALSO BE PARTISANS NOT PATRIOTS PLUS STOP CONSIDERING ANNUAL VISITS TO THE NATIONAL EISTEDDFOD A MUST FIRST STOP ON WAY TO ACTIVE NATIONAL LIBERATION STRUGGLE WHEN IT IS NOT. NOT LEAST DO NOT CONSIDER S4C AS BEING FIRST AND FOREMOST A PLATFORM FROM WHICH TO SAVE 'CYMRAEG' MORE SO A PLATFORM TO PRESERVE 'Y CRACHACH NEWYDD' AND THEIR 'CRACHDOM' aks 'CYMRIC CAIIPHATE' aka 'CRACHACH DYSTOPIA'. That is just for starters in preparing the ground for a true radical National Struggle as will hence be advanced in RED DAWN/GWARIO COCH >
Gethin .
