PLAID CYMRU Conference & Welsh Sovereignty?

.

It has been suggested to me that the best way forward is from within PLAID, but I am not so sure about that? Perhaps we may have some indication as to this being a good idea, if the matter of 'Welsh Sovereignty' was raised at their fourthcoming conference. However, having seen how that Party and it's leadership has already very much ditched Welsh Independence, I cannot really see the matter of our National Sovereignty being in safe hands within PLAID. Although I am aware, that a number of their members, I think misguided continue to believe the Welsh Independence Struggle may be well advanced within PLAID, I disagree but you see for yourselves via the following link >>>Welsh Independence: Creating our Own Agenda I have started an entry about Welsh Independence but I need people to add info to it.

DYDD SOFRANIAETH CYMRU? 28 May 1354 Owain Glyndwr's Birthday, 28 May 2008 Welsh Sovereignty Campaign/Movement Concieved?

.
Declaring 28 May as 'Dydd Sofraniaeth Cymru' is my way of not only focusing attention on the issue of Welsh Sovereignty but also the need for a 'SOFRANIAETH' - Welsh Sovereignty Campaign. Although, if sufficient Nationalists thought the way to go was as 'SOFRANIAETH' - Welsh Sovereignty Movement, then I would go along with that, as long as it was all well thought out. This is the greater purpose of my declaring 28 May as 'Dydd Sofraniaeth Cymru' to encourage discussion and debate on these Sovereignty Matters and Issues. Ultimately to seek in first place to establish a positive and practical platform and direction on and around which to launch a S.O.S. - Save Our Sovereignty Campaign. So remember on 28 Mai 2008, I hope a new ''Welsh Baby'' will be conceived, but hopefully there shall be a very short pregnancy? Hopefully, this new ''Welsh Baby'' will be born on 21 Mehefin 2008 in Machynlleth at time of commemorating and celebrating an earlier 'Welsh Independence Day'.

.

I would hope this blog will prompt much D&D, as that is essentially all I can do, my days of establishing, organising and helping to administer new campaigns or movements are over, for verity of reasons. Not least I am getting on, but can at least distribute leaflets and whatever else, that I may be capable of within any free area I have, away from my Remembrancer Research and work. Plus I am a grandfather, and thus am sharing my life with grand children, all of whom I am happy to say at this moment in time are on course to be good citizens of an Independent Wales. I am also of an ''Alternative Nationalist'' generation which I feel has reached it's ''Sell By Date'', I feel that if we are to successfully advance these Cymric Causes, then it will need younger but politically mature Nationalists, not ''Peripheral Patriots'' to make SOFRANIAETH become a successful reality. We really do need now some unfettered new Nationalist thinking, we may have need to ditch a lot of past ''Patriotic Baggage'', but lets not throw the baby out with the bathwater.

.

My final thoughts, for now on all this. I am influenced and impressed by the Quebec Sovereignty Movement, and so provide a number of links to information connected to the Q.S.M. If 'Sofraniaeth' in what ever form is born on 21 Mehefin in Machynlleth as suggested above, it will in an assembly of 'Sovereignists'' begin to discuss many issues and matters regards it's manifesto, organisation, administration plus of course strategy etc. However, I hope immediately plans will be discussed to organise and mass mobalise a RALI SOFRANIAETH 2008 in Corwen on 16 Medi - 'Dydd Glyndwr'. C'mon, lets go for it, or we will ever be talking about it, so let a WELSH INDEPENDENCE STRUGGLE truly then begin, and move forward to ultimate victory, yes!

SOVEREIGNTY LOST 11 RHAGFYR 1282 RESTORED 21 MEHEFIN 1404 and since surrendered in foreign fields, from Azincourt 1415 and Bosworth 1485 to?

.
PATRIOTS AWAKE! Devolution to Wales has been a fraud, it is made possible nought but middle man management of Wales - England's Colony. PATRIOTS AWAKE! Do not allow yourselves to be Duped by Devolution Dilettantes to surrender our SOVEREIGNTY to Politicians at the ASSEMBLY OF APPEASEMENT with ENGLISH IMPERIALISM and NEO - COLONIALISM. PATRIOTS AWAKE! The Devolution Dilettantes will sell our SOVEREIGNTY cheaply to sustain the lie of their SHAM SENEDD down in Bae Caerdydd. Their road leads to the dead end and dead hand of Devolution upon our SOVEREIGNTY, to do with as they please, to sell out for paltry pittance by a ''Parcel of Rogues'' . PATRIOTS AWAKE! and be aware of such sell out of SOVEREIGNTY, but also be aware of those who would seek to mislead you into the dead end of Devolution, for these false prophets seek to suppress struggle to save our SOVEREIGNTY and thwart Struggle for Welsh Independence!

.

.
NATIONALISTS ARISE! Forward in struggle to save our SOVEREIGNTY but first turn away from all roads that are but Devolution Dilettante Diversions. NATIONALISTS ARISE! and step upon Freedom's Road, march along Freedom's Road towards a struggle to save our SOVEREIGNTY. Freedoms Road is the great Patriotic Road that converges into one road from many roads, they are the roads from Gwynedd, Powys, Deheubarth and Glywysing. NATIONALISTS ARISE! and march along this one great Patriotic Freedom Road towards a patriotic destination more important that all other destinations in your annual patriotic national commemorations and celebrations. This road is the one that leads annually to Machynleth on and about 21 Mehefin - 'Dydd y Senedd 1404' to commemorate the establishment of Senedd Glyndwr and to celebrate also, the coronation of Owain Glyndwr, as Owain IV 'Tywysog Cymru'. NATIONALISTS ARISE! to occasion of this National Commemoration and celebration of the restoration of our SOVEREIGNTY on 21 Mehefin 1404, Assemble annually in your 100's, your 1000's to symbolically make stand in struggle to SAVE OUR SOVEREIGNTY.
.

.

The Road From Rali Cilmeri leads not into the ''Tiger Bay Triangle'' following Devolution Dilettantes...

.

.

..........but towards Machynlleth - Prif Ddinas Owain IV. Symbolically from 11 Rhagfyr 1282 and lost SOVEREIGNTY to 21 Mehefin and restored SOVEREIGNTY

.
.
Follow in the foot steps of Owain Glyndwr, in the struggle he began to sustain our SOVEREIGNTY and win Welsh Independence. Can you do less? So Awake and Arise, make ready to Annually Assemble in Machynlleth on 21 Mehefin - 'Welsh Independence Day'. However, first we need to establish SOFRANIAETH without which there can be no S.O.S. Save Our Sovereignty Campaign nor Struggle for Welsh Independence, so think on it? after reading what I have been saying in previous posts in this blog, all above is but the first steps fowards towards SOVEREIGNTY struggle for Welsh Independence.
.
.
Unfortunately as of yet there is no organised annual 'Rali Sofraniaeth' in Machynlleth, and I do not intend to organise one, neither does Embassy Glyndwr intend to organise anything beyond their own private event, as far as I know. Thus, unless some ''body'' is established to organise such, and personally, I consider this best be done by Patriots who have a proven track record of main stream interest in pro - Welsh Independence campaigning.

.

Further, best done as part and parcel of establishing and organising a S.O.S. Campaign and Welsh Independence Struggle with the eventual Convention Road tour and coming 'Powers for Assembly Referendum' in mind. All this needs to be a matter for main stream Nationalism, as I consider that ''Alternative Nationalism'' aka ''Peripheral Patriotism'' as very much had it's day and is Fin! I cannot believe that I am saying this but I am rather hoping that true Nationalist Members of PLAID will awake and arise to the occasion, perhaps they will if the May Local Authority Elections end in disaster for PLAID. Then just maybe ''Their 18'' will consider it's time to walk away from ''Coalition Comprimises'' that are in time doomed to end in fiasco, maybe bringing about an end for any cause, campaigns and struggles for Welsh Freedom?
.

.

This does not stop Nationalists from assembling informally in Machynlleth on 21 Mehefin annually for a 'Soap Box Sovereignty Session' around Cofeb Glyndwr in Y Plas. Or maybe in a room at Canolfan Glyndwr Institute if the weather is bad, at least discussion amongst those who have a great interest in such matters, will perhaps prompt pragmatic purpose to such SOVEREIGNTY hopes?

.

Note: the above design is easy to make as a flag, buy purple cloth and make stencil and roll fabric ink on to the cloth, if you buy thick cloth you can hand print the design on both sides. Give it a go? dozens, even 100's of such flags could be impressive on parades and at protest demonstrations for SOVEREIGNTY & WELSH INDEPENDENCE.

STANDING UP FOR SOVEREIGNTY: The Hungarian Way.

.

.

As in the Spirit of Hungarian Patriots commemorating and celebrating 1848 National Revolution Day, see via this link>>> National Song and Hungarian National Anthem - AOL Video ENG: 1848--49 Hungarian revolution and war of independence commemoration before the Hungarian National Museum, on Budapest. This video recorded between ...video.aol.com/video-detail/national-song-and-hungarian-national-anthem/2954850663 - 73k - Cached - Similar pages - Note thisTempus This Patriotic event takes place annually in Budapest outside the National Museum (For why? see links in Welsh Remembrancer http://welshremembrancer.blogspot.com and in The Welsh Patriot http://welshpatriot.blogspot.com ), maybe we could get as Patriotically passionate on Dydd Dewi outside National Museum of Wales, but somehow do not think so, not with statue of Lloyd George looking on.

.

.

What about outside the ''Sham Senedd'', maybe as a protest against the ASSEMBLY OF APPEASEMENT WITH ENGLISH IMPERIALISM, that would be a good idea. However, cannot really see Dydd Dewi Day Paraders up for Patriotic Protest, can you?

.

.

.

Failing the above and perhaps more patriotically preferable, if at the annual 'Dydd y Senedd' 21 Mehefin Gwyl Coroni Glyndwr 'Juratus Oweyn' oath ceremony on Parliament Green, Machynlleth.

.

.

After patriots have taken their 'Juratus Oweyn' oath may arise and face up towards 'Olygfa Glyndwr' (see picture opposite) on Penyrallt overlooking Parliament Green. Then concluding their personal 'Juratus Oweyn' oath or if part of any larger ceremony may proclaim Sofraniaeth! Sofraniaeth! Sofraniaeth! SOFRANIAETH! To add to the occasion maybe Ardal Machynlleth Patriots would gather at 'Olygfa Glyndwr' to rise up 'Baneri Glyndwr' . TO TAKE PLACE AT 12 NOON ???

.

.

This and the proposed gathering afterwards around Cofeb Glyndwr at Y Plas, Machynlleth, in time may grow as an annual RALI SOFRANIAETH, if there is enough interest in organising such. Do note, that I am proposing above only, as ''Autonomous Activities'' for Patriots to carry out, if visiting Machynlleth on 'Dydd y Senedd', if and when 'SOFRANIAETH' takes shape as an actual ''body'' it may then be responsible for more officially organising something larger annually, we shall see? At this moment in time, I have heard that Embassy Glyndwr is only organising a small private event for it's supporters, whatever, I am sure in due course they will inform publicly one and all what they are doing. For further info keep visting their Blog: OWAIN GLYNDWR COMMUNICATES.

.

.

Think that will not only be patriotically purposeful but also most patriotically purposeful, especially if everyone makes some big effort as you will see Hungarians doing most patriotically in video above. By way note wearing of Ribbons in the Hungarian event, get plenty of Red & Yellow Ribbon to wear in similar fashion, and please bring plenty of flags, not least of your own Gwledydd; Gwynedd, Powys, Deheubarth, Morgnnwg and Gwent.

.

Other than that I guess one and all will need to get seriously used to the reality that Sofraniaeth! Sofraniaeth! Sofraniaeth! SOFRANIAETH! must also become a patriotic political chant to make when and where ever neds be, and called on. Indeed why not anywhere, anytime to make a Patriotic Point, not least when ever England's Crown figures are around and when ever 'Brit Unionist' politicians are close by too. Why Not!

.

Hwyl!

OUR SOVEREIGNTY RESTORED? I WONDER! It really is, up to you?

Today 11 March, is anniversary of the restoration of Lithuanian Independence, restored on this day in 1990 The dreams of an Independent Medieval Lithuania eventually compromised into a Polish - Lithuanian Commonwealth, no bad thing as Lithuania retained much Independence and sovereignty. However it lost this Independence in 1795 as the Commonwealth was dissolved and it's lands partitioned by surrounding countries. On 16 February 1918 Lithuania declared it's Independence but there followed years of conflict and power struggles with Poland, Germany and Russia, the history of which is too complex to discuss here (see web info). Following World War II Lithuania was annexed by the Soviet Union but in time the decline of Communism in the Soviet Union led to Lithuania proclaiming the restoration of it's Independence, recognising the 16 February as it's restored Independence Day. Russia refused to recognise Lithuanian Independence, and an Independence struggle continued which finally forced the Russians in September 1991 to recognise Lithuanian Sovereignty and Independence. The Russians finally withdrew from Lithuania in 1993, since which Lithuania has become a thriving Sovereign Nation, one of three Baltic Nations that have won their freedom by the closing decade of the 20th century.

.

How much longer must we in Wales wait for the restoration of our Independence, yes I said restored Independence, that which was won by Owain Glyndwr by 1404, after four years of armed struggle that had began on 16 Medi 1400. For in Machynlleth on 21 Mehefin 1404 with the establishment of Senedd Glyndwr - Senedd Cenedl Cymru Rydd was not Welsh Independence lost in 1282 finally recovered and re-established. This is food for thought, maybe we should mark 21 Mehefin as Welsh Independence Day, then when we restore it, we may actually make it official as the Lithuanians did on the 11 March 1990. Whatever, see below suggestion re commemorating and celebrating Cenedl Glyndwr - Cenedl Cymru Rydd - as Welsh Independence Day 21 Mehefin 1404, that's a suggestion only. Embassy Glyndwr organised major events on this day on it's 600th anniversary 2004 but nothing has been organised since, I note that Embassy Glyndwr is encouraging the Town Council and Canolfan Glyndwr to organise some thing annually to no avail up to now. Embassy Glyndwr organises its own event at Cefn Caer but there is no reason why other organisations cannot organise their own events and activities, as I have suggested re an annual ''Sovereignty Session'' around Cofeb Glyndwr at Y Plas, Machynlleth. If anything happens in this direction I will post up Information in this blog.

WELSH SOVEREIGNTY: To Be Restored or Reconcieved?

..

Despite all the blog chatter about Welsh Independence, there is no real sign of any struggle out on the streets which is where we will come to see such really advanced, maybe one day? Perhaps! However, lets crawl before we walk and then a little further on we can think about running towards Welsh Independence. Just to get this show on the road a little and out of web wonder land. What if all Pro - Welsh Independence Patriots kick off, an on line discussion and debate on subject of Sovereignty for starters via blogs and web forums. Although maybe as part of your own local community 'Penblwydd Glyndwr' celebrations on 28 Mai, maybe hold a D&D Sovereignty Session down at the pub, or in community centre, lecture hall or where ever?

.

.
To hopefully advance matters along a little further than just a discussion why not also debate the following suggestions, that on the 21 Mehefin 2008 anniversary of Prince Owain IV's coronation, following on establishment of Senedd Cenedl Cymru Rydd in Machynlleth. That a gathering is held around Centotaph Glyndwr, Y Plas to resolve as to how best to advance the Cause and Struggle for Welsh Independence by one of the following means of a:

.
Sofraniaeth - Sovereignty Campaign?

.

Sofraniaeth - Sovereignty Convention?

.

Sofraniaeth - Welsh Sovereingty Movement?



.

Sofraniaeth - Plaid Sofraniaeth?

.

Or:
