ER COF AM JOHN SUMMERS.

From the below (see Links) one would not know it but John did a lot of propaganda work for the FWA, between John, Cayo and Coslett, the three almost convinced the world that there was a vast Army of National Liberation organising a struggle for Welsh Independence during the sixties. Much of what was written was just that, no more than Propaganda but still very useful propaganda especially when it came to mounting the great Adfywiad Gwladgarol 1967 - 1969 against an English Pretender Prince of Wales. I myself had little to with John and the FWA ''Paper War'' but met him twice, on the one occasion to work a piece of Anti - Investiture Propaganda, the other socially. I found John to be quite a nice fella, and I am very sad to learn of the circumstances of his death. Perhaps we needed have set up a 'Llegn y Cymru' to look after old comrades as John, we are not very good at this sort of thing are we. Dear old Denis Coslett, when he was alive used to make sure that a Patriots Roll Call was kept up to date, and annually read out at Rali Cilmeri. I wonder, if anyone stills bother? don't look in my direction, I have enough to do but I do know of plenty of ''Patriots'' who do bugger all from one end of the year to another, other than turn up at Tafarn Llywelyn and Tafarn Mochyn Ddu annually. Let they look to their conscience.

CILMERI 1968 PATRIOTS PROTEST & 2008 PATRIOTS PETITION - Is that it? or is somethng else on the cards for Rali Cilmeri 2008 & Caernarfon Castle 2009?

.
COMING ON LINE SOME TIME SOON? A LOOK BACK AT THE 1968 RALI CILMERI, meanwhile I repeat what I have said in a number of my other blogs re the recent announcement of a Cambria Petition against another Investiture in Caernarfon: DO NOT SIGN IT! at best it's a pretty pathetic idea, at worse it will make it possible for the ''Sias S.S. Goons'' to be informed as to whom opposes the English Monarchy and whom are likely to be most active protesters against another Investiture of an English Pretender. Yes, you might add attending Rali Cilmeri will provide them with the same information, not quite on the same scale as a petition would that's for sure. Of course the ''Goons'' have their Agents and Informers at Cilmeri, it's more than likely the biggest ''Jam Pot'' event in Wales, the ''Goons'' have to attend, look and listen in on, so take care who you talk to and may arrange future meetings with.
.
However, they have to really work at taking fotos, and you can do some thing about that can't you, ask whose taking fotos and for what and whom. Not least you can cover your faces if cameras are pointed at you. The ''Goons'' will also seek out information, as your name and address, so be careful who you give such to, or give false names and addresses if your not sure. If all this bothers you, do not go to Rali Cilmeri, instead go on the Cofiwn Archive suggested tour of Llywelyn sites in central Cymru and or attend events in Caernarfon and Aberffraw on the Sunday. Why take all these precautions, quite simply because and Nationalist will be fair game to hound and harass once the next Investiture is announced.
.
NB: PAY ATTENTION I am at present on my other blogs calling for protests and demonstrations over any ''Brit Taff'' commemoration celebrating of the 40th Anniversary of Investiture'69, this of course is a Patriotic Prologue to the real thing, that will come sooner or later. That is of course another ADFYWIAD GWLADGAROL AGAINST ANOTHER ENGLISHMAN AS PRINCE OF WALES. NOW LETS GET THIS ABSOLUTELY STRAIGHT I AM NOT ADVOCATING USE OF VIOLANCE HAS USED MY M.A.C. AGAINST THE INVESTITURE'69, sure I was up for PF/FWA ''Barricade Building'' in Caernarfon on Investiture day with more than likely throwing of broken paving stones and smoke bombs but not the real thing! Not then, not now and not next time ok! Next time around, it must be more in style of passive and obstructive resistance with a touch of ''Creative Vandalism''. However, there is still the need for great internal security in organising future democratic struggle for witness recent events in China and even Australia. When push comes to shove and the ''Powers that Be'' think it neccessary to thwart even democratic protest they will, get it, so take care!. * See my Adfyywiad blog for lessons in Activist Agit - Prop ok!
.
However, do note, I advise we wait and see, if first, next year the 'VENEDOTIANS' call upon Cymru to arise, and prepare to protest, not petition against another Investiture. If the 'VENEDOTIANS' are not bothered, why should the rest of us be bothered? I guess at 3:00 pm on 1 July 2009 at the Gate of Castell Caernarfon, we will witness patriotic resolve on this issue of Investitures of English Prince, maybe? C'mon guys, a petition? that's a bit of a cop out surely!!!! So c'mon you ''Cambrianistas'' lets see you at the gate? Put up or shut up is my message to you, fin! I suggest all you Rali Cilmeri regulars think on this, and maybe make speeches on it at Rali Cilmeri 2008 as many of us 'Adfywiadwyr Gwladgarol' did at Rali Cilmeri'68, any one up for it? Perhaps the ''Balchderiaid'' will lead the way to Caernarfon 2009? Maybe 'Band Cambria' can beat the advance on this one, right around the Castle and up to the Castle Gates. That should add to a day's excitment for all the tourists visiting the Castle to see the ''Black Museum'' therein celebrating over 600 years of English Princes of Wales.
