There is great truth in the saying that 'greed breeds greed' and never has that become more obvious since the establishment of the Welsh Assembly and S4C in Cymru which has opened the doors wide for a minority to control the purse strings of a meagre allowance allowed us by the English state. This "Welsh Broederbond" has sustematically dipped their hairy claws into that meagre purse to satisfy their own greed and that of their friends on the backs of their fellow Cymry, many who have had to pay heavy taxes into the British taxing system whilst the rest have been left in a 'no hope' state of poverty with no hope of employment and totally dependent on a meagre British government benefit which they can barely survive on.
Since the 4th century, every viable resource in our small country has been invaded, ravaged and pillaged in succession by the Romans, the Anglo Saxons, the Vikings and the Normans and all of these invaders have used the 'known to work' tactic of 'divide to rule' to enable them to get on with their plundering. It was this treachery and disunity that led to the downfall of the Cymric Princes and their dynasties until, Tywysog Owain Glyndŵr rose to fight for the restoration of Cymric Independence - which he achieved for a number of years until he was thwarted by the might of a much larger English Army and their much more sophisticated war machinary. However, not one Cymro or Cymraes betrayed him and when Henry Tudor came to the English throne and forced the annexation of Cymru to England, he knew only too well that the Cymry would rise again unless he 'bribed' a necessary amount of 'willing traitors' with positions of power and that 'tactic' has continued to be employed in Cymru by the British State right up to the present.
So now, we have a "so called Senedd" who has been in a "so called" power in Cymru since 1998, it has very limited powers in reality, just enough to appease a "certain class" by throwing silver at them as needed but has done nought to create employment, which, with it, would bring 'real' independence and better and decent living conditions for the majority who have had to continue to live in a 'no hope' environment.
The British State have centuries of experience under their belt to know how to stay in power and have a willing resource of 'greedy collaborators in place to assist as far as Cymru is concerned. We only have to look at the 'grovelling' that takes place each time the English monarchy trespass into our nation to witness the result of centuries of brainwashing of the Cymry to accept them as 'their' royalty. After all, we are part of 'their British State' is what has been driven into the psyche of the majority of our people, so, we must go out in our thousands to wave the Tudor Rag in 'croeso' whenever they trespass here and, of course, our "so called" politicians in our "so called" Senedd must curtsy and dribble in ecstasy when they visit the "sham" of a "so called" Welsh Government to symbolically show who is "really" in power.
Meanwhile, the " greedy sharks of Welsh power" need to be fed so, let's take a look at a few of them to illustrate how it works.
The Welsh politicians: Overpaid fat cats who are just figureheads that do little apart from spill out shitty and deceiving lies through their lips whilst the 'real' work is done for them by clerical staff of which are employed in their hundreds in differing departments of that "sham Senedd" - and if these "politicians" perform and grovel really well, they may be rewarded by being invited to become a Lord in the English House of Lords.
Then, we have bodies such as S4C, allowed to be established by Thatcher in 1982, in the same year that COFIWN had organised an annual calendar of monthly events to take place in every part of Cymru that had fought during the Cymric Wars of 1282 -83. Those monthly events organised by COFIWN that year had every community involved in participating and Cymric children, for the first time ever, got to know the history of Llywelyn and Dafydd and the brutal destruction of the Royal House of Gwynedd. The last event of that year was great commemorations held at Cilmeri and Abaty Cwm Hir with over 2,500 in attendance which included men, women and children from all over Cymru as well as 'across the board' Nationalist movements and individuals from Plaid Cymru,Patriotic Front to MAC, FWA, THE CELTIC LEAQUE, THE WELSH REPUBLICANS, CYMDEITHAS YR IAITH, THE SCOTTISH REPUBLICANS, SINN FEIN and so on. This Cymric solidarity must have unsettled 'the powers that be' in Westminster and such was the backdrop to that period of time when Thatcher was busily closing down all our heavy industries in Cymru so, allowing the establishment of S4C then appeased a certain ruling class in Cymru who, along with their families and circles of CRACHACH friends, have prospered very well out of that establishment ever since.
So, who are the main benefactors benefitting out of the "sham Senedd" purse and S4C There are many, some are hidden, others not so hidden.
Prominent and 'shamelessly in our face is Tinopolis and the directors of this television company who have become 'super wealthy' and who are amongst the most prominent in promoting their CRACHACH friends, just watch their Heno programme as an eye opener.
Then there is the Books Council of Wales who receives public funds from the Welsh Government to distribute in the form of 'grants on tap' to publishers and booksellers such as 'Y Lolfa' who then publish the books of all their CRACHACH friends in order to increase their millions and that of their CRACHACH Friends - such as Dafydd Iwan who, according to one source, is worth $5million to date. https://allfamousbirthday.com/dafydd-iwan/ so, why does he feel that he needs to pen yet another autobiography, to be published by his friends in Y Lolfa? After all, he certainly does not need the money does he, and has he 'really' got anything left to say? Is it 'morally' justifiable for 'Y Lolfa' to, again, fund a book, out of public money, for this CRACHACH friend?
Time to investigate and reveal the why and why.
This controversial 'unholy' handshake, all set up for the national press and media, had been set up to take place on the actual 50th anniversary of the death of two Cymric freedom fighters that had died in action in Abergele whilst attempting to lay a bomb on the railway track to bomb that track making it impossible for the Royal Train to travel on to Caernarfon for the investiture on the 1st July 1969, Dafydd Iwan knew this well so, why did he, who had been a prominent protester against the Investiture in 1969, agree to and participate in this unholy of meetings at Myddfai - and by whom and how was he approached?
Was he approached by one of the collaborating Plaid Cymru 'Lords' and persuaded to participate with promises that further finance would be given by Westminster to promote the Cymric language if he would meet Charles and then, after the meeting, publicly declare that he would not be supportive of protests against further Investitures - which he did, or, even then, was he so full of his own importance that he thought that shaking Charlie's 'bloody' hand would 'really' show the world how important a person he has become? I believe it was mainly the first scenario which then, allowed opportunity for the 2nd. Whatever the reasons, he could have said NO!
When questioned as to 'why' by the press he muttered that... "It was an opportunity to show that it is possible to disagree without hatred and that we must find the common ground."
Time for a "wake up call" Dafydd, our cause is about getting back our Independence and Sovereignty, that is what has been fought for for centuries, that is why our our native Princes and their families were butchered and why our Royal Houses were destroyed and our national treasures stolen. That is why two men died in Abergele on the eve of the Investiture and why many others have spent yrs in English jails. The British State and its monarchy is not and has 'never' been interested in finding "common ground" with us in Cymru or in any of the other small nations they have done and still do occupy. They are only interested in keeping the British State intact and in rubber stamping their rule over us all by foisting their English monarchy on us, but, you knew that then and you know that now don't you Dafydd, you just don't care anymore so long as you are getting all the publicity you need to boost your profile and already overflated ego.
You are so full of your self importance now Dafydd that you're conceited enough to believe that you should have, yet, another autobiography of your life out to try and promote yourself even further, and in order to say something that's a bit different from what has already been said in your last autobiographies, and, with help from Y Lolfa's publicity machine, you have decided to publicize this new 'ego trip' with a few 'spicy', but dubious, 'tongue in cheek' statements. Let' take a look at some of the things you claim in these 'pre launch' press statements:
For example, you claim that a "pathetic" attempt was made to lure you into a fake plot to kill Charles Windsor when he was the Prince of Wales.
C'mon Dafydd, you were widely known then, as you are now, as a dedicated pacifist that stems from a long lineage of pacifist preachers, teachers and poets, so, in God's name would see any point in trying to lure you into any plot to kill Charles just because you composed a satirical song about him? You were hardly 'public enemy no 1' in 1969, as you claim the British State thought you to be.
Initially, Cymdeithas yr Iaith, of whom you were the chairperson at the time, had voted against participating in the Anti Investiture campaign, but society members were participating in the campaign and were on marches organiized by the Patriotic Front and the FWA so, CYIG then decided to come on board, and you composed Carlo and other anti investiture songs which proved very popular, isn't that right? But, that hardly made you 'public enemy no 1'. The CYIG's main mission of activity was to demand the use of Cymraeg in every aspect of Cymric life, that was understood by one and all - including the English State. No, Dafydd, as far as they were concerned, the then 'mysterious' orchestrator of MAC was 'public enemy' no 1 and then, Cayo Evans, leader of the FWA who, due to his unique charisma, was carrying out a tremendously successful 'world wide' Anti Investiture propaganda campaign, had to be 'public enemy no 2'. The least of the British State's worries in that period was that yourself and other members of CYIG were painting road signs green. In fact, you did them a great favour by the organising of a rally at Cilmeri on the day of the Investiture, rather than a protest at Caernarfon, and instructed CYIG members at the rally to take down any 'English' language posters advertising the Investiture that they came upon on their way home, no mention of taking down the Cymric language ones!
Then, another little dubious claim that you have in this new forthcoming autobiography is that Ray Gravell had paid your fine after you had been whisked off to jail, strange that, for two reasons, Ray Gravell would have been 19 yrs old when you spent a short time in the cells, he didn't start playing rugby for Llanelli until 1969 so would have had very little spare cash or rnough influence to enable him to change a decision made by a court of law. You have also claimed in another press statement released in Wales on Line that it was a group of magistrates that paid your fine, which is it Dafydd? Again, you could have refused.
"I was sentenced for three months but after four weeks the Archbishop of Wales at the time - Archbishop Glyn Simon came to see me with a message from a number of magistrates. They were willing to pay my fine to show their support for the campaign over the official status for the Welsh language.
"While I was in prison, there were a lot of protests happening and that would increase the heat with the campaign. By having the fine paid it also brought recognition to the campaign. In the end, I accepted that they would pay for the fine. It wasn’t an easy decision but on the other hand I had a wife and a small child, and it was lovely to see them when I was released."

I was in Cardiff prison at the same time as you Dafydd so, I know how long you were there for and, nobody offered to bail me out or any my compatriots who were there with me, and, had anybody offered to, we would have all refused with a loud 'no' even though every one of us would, like yourself, have preferred to be at home with our families so, what made you so special?
Now, a bit of truth about the song you have done so well out of, Yma o Hyd, never liked it myself, whereas I considered your other songs to be of use to rally support to the cause, I immediately found Yma o Hyd to be patronizing and misleading. Yma o Hyd for what, playing football? We are hardly Yma o Hyd in political terms are we or, is football our politics now? We are hanging on to what's left of our nation geographically by a thread whilst the 'greedy' feed on any crumbs we have in funding - and whilst talking of football, did you enjoy yourself basking in your own self importance in Quater during the world cup? lording it up with your other media and crachach 'woke' friends in a country well renowed for its oppressive policies against gays and women's rights? so much hypocrisy.
You were, initially asked to write a song about Macsen Wledig by Dr Gwynfor Evans who was working alongside COFIWN during those yrs and had been particularly active with us in 1982. He was writing a pamphlet about Macsen Wledig to educate the fact that the Romans, when leaving Cymru had left the nation intact as a nation and under the care of the Cymry. He wanted sales of this Pamphlet to assist in the work of COFIWN - which it did. So, the inspiration behind the song Dafydd, was the work carried out by COFIWN and Gwynfor's request for you to write a song, a song that has paid 'dividends in abundance' for you so, the least you can do is credit COFIWN and Gwynfor as the inspiration and not make out that it was 'divine intervention' that just came into your head when you were on a bit of a low.
Whatever your reasons for feeling that you have to 'justify' and 'sanctify' yourself in a new autobiography, let's hope its not full of 'fairy tales' and 'half truths' such as those I have discussed above. Y Lolfa has gone OTT in publicizing this autobiography world wide and can see the dollars flashing before their eyes in worldwide sales. Both yourself and the Lolfa will, undoubtedly, add thousands of £££s to your millions and all on a book paid for by the taxpayer. Such is definately greed in money terms but, is it greed for further fame for you also Dafydd? Are you'maybe' just that little 'peeved' that Max Boyce has had a statue in place before you? Are you hoping for a statue to be made of you also and placed on a pedestal opposite to that other traitor on the square in Caernarfon, a statue of you looking up lovingly at that castle that you have declared your love for?
Don't you worry Dafydd, you will get your statue, your CRACHACH friends and professional grant grabbers will see to it that you do but, not everyone is fooled, such a treacherous self serving hypocrite as yourself will never be listed in my list of Cymric heroes.
CYMRU RYDD!
Gethin ap Gruffydd.
