COFIWN IS THERE STILL ANY NEED FOR AN ANTI - CEREBRAL COLONIALISM CAMPAIGN AGAINST HISTORICAL AMNESIA - YOU DEBATE OK?



COFIWN NEWYDD NAWR?

Martin Johnes – Research notes and resources on the ...


AM NOT REALLY UP FOR DEALING WITH ALL OF MARTIN'S WORK, MARTIN HAS BEEN VERY BUSY AND IT'S ALL OVERWHELMING FOR MANY WHO ARE NOT IN A PROFESSIONAL CAPACITY PAID JOB IT IS TO DELIVER SUCH MATERIAL  https://martinjohnes.com/essays/. AS FOR HIS TV PROG AND BOOK ON COLONIALISM IS CONCERNED I DO NOT WANT TO NIT PICK BUT I DO SUGGEST A TELEVISED DEBATE BETWEEN MARTIN AND THE FOLLOWING ADVOCATES OF ALTERNATIVE VIEWS TO MARTIN AS>


SION JOBBINS YES CYMRU  https://twitter.com/marchglas?lang=en


ROYSTAN JONES EIN GWLAD https://jacothenorth.net/blog/


ADDITIONAL: GRUFF MAREDUDD OF  SOFRANIAETH, LEON RUSSELL OF HAWLIAU NATIONAL RIGHTS, NEIL  MCEVOY OF PROPEL AND OWAIN WILLIAMS OF LLAIS GWYNEDD. AS FOR ME CONSIDER MINCING WORDS MEANS LITTLE AS COLONIALISM IS WHAT IT IS AND SURE WALES WAS A COLONY AND NOW IS A WELSH ASSEMBLY NEO - COLONY AKA INTERNAL COLONY. 


SEE BELOW: FANNON ARGUES THE CASE FOR CULTURAL NATIONALISM AS A WEAPON AGAINST COLONIALISM AND THIS MAY BE TRUE OF WALES/CYMRU IN THE 'SIXTIES' BUT SINCE VIA 'CULTURAL GRANTS' THE CULTURAL NATIONALISM OF THE 'SIXTIES' OF CYIG HAS PRODUCED 'Y CRACHACH NEWYDD' THAT ARE FAR FROM BEING ANTI - COLONIAL AS THEY SEEK THE ADVANCE OF THEIR CULTURAL CLASS.




BUT ON MATTER OF INDEPENDENCE I AGREE WITH MARTIN, IT'S A MATTER OF PRACTICALITIES AND SUCH DOES NOT WEIGH IN FAVOR OF INDEPENDENCE AS I HAVE TOUCHED ON IN>


WHEN IT COMES TO EDUCATION AND TEACHING OF WELSH HISTORY I CAN GET MORE PERSONAL IN CHALLENGING MARTIN.

DURING MY SCHOOL YEARS I  WAS TAUGHT VERY LITTLE WELSH HISTORY BUT YES WELSH HYMNS AND FOLK SONGS. IN FACT MY SENIOR YEAR WELSH LANGUAGE TEACHER HID THE GOOD WELSH HISTORY BOOK 'RAISE UP THE DRAWBRIDGE', THIS I FOUND OUT WHEN SHE TOLD ME TO CLEAN  A CUPBOARD IN WHICH I SAW A PILE OF THESE BOOKS SHE NEVER BROUGHT TO WIDER ATTENTION. WELSH HISTORY CAME BY CHANCE AS MY MAM BUYING ME AN CYCLOPEDIA ON BRITISH HISTORY WHICH INCLUDED ONE PAGE ON WELSH HISTORY. FROM THERE IT WAS SELF EDUCATION AND IN TIME AS A YOUNG NATIONALIST I MET OTHERS WHO LIKE I HAD NOT BEEN TAUGHT OUR HISTORY AND THUS THIS MOVED US TO ESTABLISHING COFIWN AN IDEA ORIGINATING WITH MYSELF FROM MY YEARS IN AN 'IRISH EXILE' IN WHICH I BECAME AWARE HOW THE IRISH KEPT THEIR HISTORY TO THE FORE VIA SUCH AS 'HEDGE TEACHERS' AND FENIANS.


MARTIN MAKES GREAT PLAY OF EARLY WELSH HISTORY PROMOTED BY LIKES OF >

BOTH BEST DESCIBED AS CAMBRO - BRITS.

LETS MOVE ON>

COFIWCH DREWERYN.



****************************WELSH NATIONALISTS OLD AND NEW REMEMBER TYWERYN AGAIN AND AGAIN FOR OVER 50 YEARS BUT DURING 2019 WILL THEY REMEMBER ABRGELE 1969?

https://nation.cymru/opinion/why-im-against-protecting-the-cofiwch-dryweryn-wall/

THE BIGGER QUESTION IS WHY CONTEMPORARY NATIONALISTS ATTACH SO MUCH ATTENTION TO TRYWERYN, MAYBE BECAUSE PRESENT DAY NATIONALISTS BOTH OLD AND NEW ARE SO BLOODY PATHETIC WHEN IT COMES TO RADICAL NATIONALIST ACTION APART FROM ADAM BC BANGING THE DRUM AND SION JOBBINS WAXING LYRICAL ABOUT YES CYMRU. IF THAT'S THE BEST NATIONALISTS TODAY CAN  PULL OUT OF THE FB GHETTO FUSILIER BUM BAG THEN THERE IS REALLY NO HOPE FOR WELSH FREEDOM AND INDEPENDENCE, FIN!

 COFIWCH ABERGELE 1969






IF YOUR NOT UP TO 'RISING AGAIN' AT CAERNARFON ON 1ST JULY 2019, THEN AT LEAST VISIT GRAVES OF THE ABERGELE MARTYRS OVER WEEKEND OF 29 - 30 JUNE 2019 TO PLACE FLOWERS IN TRIBUTE TO THEIR SACRIFICE. FURTHER NOTE EXHIBITION AT NLW BUT IT'S ONLY ON FOR FIRST WEEK OF JULY, RATHER POINTLESS AND IF IT'S ABOUT THE 'SXTIES' WHY INCLUDE MEIBION GLYNDWR BUT NOT MAC, MYSTIFYING?

https://www.aber.ac.uk/en/news/archive/2016/12/title-195197-en.html

MYSELF, WILL BE AT ABERGELE TRIBUTE BUT LEAVING ANY ACTION IN CAERNARFON TO GWYNEDD PATRIOTS AFTER ALL 1911, 1969 AND FUTURE INVESTITURES IS THEIR CONCERN.
