CILMERI 1282 COMMEMORATION 2011

Returning to the work of the Cymric Consciousness society 'Cofiwn' founded in the early 70's and demising in the mid 80's. This blog will inform on the beginnings of 'Cofiwn' and explain the inspiration for it being established and the aspirations that motivated it's advance and achievements. This 'Ysbryd Cilmeri' blog will in main be an introduction and at same time tell the story of the annual patriots gathering at Cilmeri 1966 - 2006 towards a future Adfywiad Gwladgarol Newydd.

SUMMER MADNESS OR SOME SERIOUS PATRIOTIC AGIT - PROP AT THE CILMERI CENOTAPH? Whatever, someones got to go for it!

.
Anyone want to play ball, but I do mean Radical Nationalist Hard Ball. Not the usual Patriotic Games that are played out annually around the Cilmeri Centoph but something a bit more serious? But be warned at the 1968 Rali Cilmeri, I began to play hard ball by calling upon patriots to protest, not petition against another Investiture of an Englishman as Pretender Prince of Wales. Unfortunately by February 1969 I was under arrest, Imprisoned and at 3:00 pm on 1 July of that year was sentenced to nine months for organising resistance to the second Investiture to tale place in Caernarfon. However, somewhat annoyed about not being able to make it to Caernarfon to build barricades and look for the beach beneath the paving stones, I was a little contented that we had nearly pulled it off! That is got the Investiture called off, it was not. The Patriotic Front had conspired that even though that might not have been possible, we nevertheless with other stalwart patriots made sure that they could only hold an Investiture in Caernarfon by means of a virtual armed occupation. Our forecast that the Investiture would only happen if the English Establishment was forced to place a ''Ring of Steel'' around the Town, that was what made it possible in the end. As well of course they had by then imprisoned militant radical resisters to the Investiture, as myself and eight other compatriots in the PF/FWA trial at Swansea. Further, the night before the Investiture and on Investiture day itself, 100s of patriots were put under house arrest or intimidated by MI5, SB and Jock Wilson's Special Squad goons following them around to make sure many patriots did not get to Caernarfon to demonstrate. See the blog: ALTERNATIVE WELSH NATIONALIST MOVEMENT ARCHIVE.

Recently Cambria Magazine organised a petition against another Investiture, I opposed this for a number of reasons all of which you can read about in my blog Welsh Remembrancer. In the main because quite simply I believe Patriots need to protest not pathetically petition, that's just another ''Cambrianista'' distraction. Very much like their annual 'Devolution Dilettante' Dydd Dewi Parading about annually in Caerdydd, picture opposite indicates way South for some Dydd Dewi Parading, I will explain. It is interesting that in recent issue of Cambria Henry Jones Davies, founder and now shadow Editor of Cambria at Rali Cilmeri some while back called patriots to join him in organising that Dydd Dewi Parade, two other patriots it seems squeeked up and said they would join him. I am just wondering now with real Nationalist Radicals as Cayo, Coslett and Toni Lewis asleep with Llywelyn and Glyndwr in the 'Cave of Heroes', myself not an attendee of Rali Cilmeri anymore. If 40 years on at the 2008 Rali Cilmeri there will be patriots ready to commit to real struggle against another Investiture. Maybe, the ''Cambrianistas'' or ''Balchderiaid'' will call upon Patriots to march on Castell Caernarfon on 1 July 2009 to protest not petition - To demonstrate against visit by Carlo to the Castle on that day to mark 40th Anniversary of Investiture'69, we shall see? In picture below I am making the point of pointing North toward Caernarfon with the obvious in mind, although having taken on Caernarfon Castle three times, yes been there and bought the T-Shirt. I now feel it's time for others to have the opportunity of Patriotic Agit - Prop Action at the Gate. Nothing too dangerous, a picket protest or/and leaving Cofia Adfywiad' 69 or Cofiwch 1282/3/4 'Black Ribboned Ivy Crosses at the gate will suffice to make a Protesting Point that NO! WE DO NOT WANT ENGLISH PRINCES OF WALES. Methinks that will achieve more than pathetic petitioning, yes! So, up and at it, get ready for action. Plan, Prepare & Organise, making plenty of protest Placards and Banners to display at Rali Cilmeri 2008. Indeed why not give the annual rally a 40th Anniversary Anti - Investiture theme, not least calling upon Patriots to Protest not pathetically petiton.

The Cilmeri Cenotaph is getting to appear to be very much an almost ''Cultish Centre'', maybe a somewhat Patriotic Pagan one. Despite the Cofiwn 'Christian' Cross, there is now placed around the Cilmeri Cenotaph; Ivy and Oak leaves, and various other offerings and relics as the Skull also now a Rugby Ball. Plus of Course a White Eagle Cross on Slate Plaque. But I did not leave Baner Llywelyn and Baner Adfywiad Gwladgarol, just placed them there for photo to symbolise these Baneri await Patriots to rise such up and fly beneath or maybe within, the walls of that hated ''Welsh Bastille''.

Hwyl to all Heretics!
