THANKS GIVING DAY! BUT FOR NATIVE AMERICANS IT's A NATIONAL DAY OF MOURNING as 11 December 1282 Is A Welsh Patriots Day of National Mourning To Remind Welsh People Of Our Country's Conquest and Colonisation. REMEMBER TO WEAR AN IVY LEAF ON THE 11th DECEMBER ANNUALLY and that night light a Candle For Freedom for loss of Welsh Independance.



The last bit was very much the 'Old Gethin' speaking, my reality now is as far as Welsh Princes 1294 can be a 'Year Zero' after that medieval wise I will in main retain my medieval sympathy and support for  Owain Glyndwr's National War of Liberation (note ref to Llywelyn ap Gruffydd Fychan in Executed Today - Martyrs Link below) . For this war put an end to serfdom, bondage and to a greater degree unconditional Tennant Labour, this war destroyed English Castle Rule greatly and, Socio - Economic dominance of the Colonial Royal Boroughs. That began a process where it was impossible to sustain  Punitive Penal laws and English Settler and trader Privilages. In so many words the Welsh Patriots might have lost the war but in many ways they won the peace, so that's not so bad plus lets not forget Glyndwr's Peasant Army the 'Barefoot Welsh Doggies'. Not least then the 'Gwerin Owain', first in line of Welsh Popular Protest 'movements' and struggles. However, lets now in these coming Socio - Economic harsh times remember the Heroes and Heroines of Peoples Protest and Struggle from the medieval instances given above down to much later times as of the Corn Riots and Enclosure Struggles, not least such in the ancient land of the Welsh Princes of Gwynedd, maybe a Gwynedd Goch?.

Moving on to USA 'Thanks Giving Day' or otherwise Native American National Day of Mourning, you will note that there were two possible 'Thanks Giving Days' for White European America to adopt as a National Celebration. Historically for they, it's the Virgina Colony day that should have figured as a 'National Favourite' but for the Civil War and there after. The problem being that of course Virginia was a Colony in what became the very Confederate State of Virginia and today the 'Old South' has very much given way to the 'New South'. So much about 'Dixie' is well out of fashion, this I will look into at another time regards fourth coming American Civil War Anniversary Commemorations on line, as much in advance as the Olympics in London. I will also deal with Wales and the Old South, very much avoided by the Welsh today who seek to be squeaky clean and have no dirt or blood on their hands re participating in genocide of Native Americans and Slavery of Africans in America.

CAERNARFON 4 RAGFYR 2010: REMEMBER THE 'MURDERED MARTYRS' OF THE CORN RIOT 1752 PRIOR OR POST THE 'NO CUTS' RALLY SAME DAY. COFIWN CAERNARFON'S BLACK APRIL 1752.

*

The above Illustration, a photo taken at Mynydd Bach 2008, is very much in tribute to Dafydd Ifan y Gof and his son 'Siaci' who in 1826 raised the Pitchfork of Peasants Rural Revolt and made call for the 'y Werin' of Mynydd Back to arise and come to defend their land in the continuation of the struggle of Rhyfel y Sais Bach 1826. Something their descendants are notso prepared to do in our present times, no matter all the calls in recent years for 'Dal Dy Dir', they did not arise and assemble to 'Hold The Land' at the great Vyrnwy Estate sell off 2010, why not I wonder?


Further, the Caernarfon event above in mind, I call for one and all during the day, in memory of the 'Murdered Martyrs ' of the Caernarfon Corn Riot 1752  a Quarry Worker shot and later his body hung up in spiteful malice. Secondly, the Intinerant Gilder who with a call on his horn warned the Quarry men of an ambush, for this he was later lynched and bueried Alive. These the 'Murdered Martyrs' had only attempted to seize Corn awaiting shipment away from local starving mouths to fill the 'fat profits' and 'fat bellies' of others. Please prior or post Rally place Wreaths and Floral Tributes close to the Anglesey Arms where the lynching took place or, throw into waters of Menai Straits. Maybe place on steps of the old court House opposite entrance to Castle as a reminder that in April 1752 there was no justice for the 'Intinerant Gelder' only a quickly called 'Kangeroo Court'.


An epilogue to above the  Quarry Worker was placed by his comrades in a Coffin painted 'Black & Red' (yes! Anarchist Colours? Any Anarchists in Gwynedd to take an interest in this?)  and  they carried this on procession around the town. later he was buried at Llanbebig Cemetary  As for the 'intinerant Gilder' he was buried in Llandwrog Cemetary, ironically there is a plaque in the Chapel in memory of the Villain 'S.M. William Williams, late of Glanrafon, Esq., His Majesty's Attorney General of North Wales. He died the 26th of April, 1769, aged 65'. This monument was erected by his widow Hephzibah Williams.


Unfinnished Business maybe, more public recognition of the two 'Murdered Martyrs', have they plaques placed up in their memory? further why not publish this story as an Heritage Trail leaflet outling this most awful of tales of a Dark April in Caernarfon's History 1752. Certainly why not a more fitting memorial of these events, perhaps depicted in a bronze relief to be placed perhaps near the Anglesy Arms or where ever appropriate. Further, why not make this story central to a May Day Peoples Festival in Caernarfon complete with a May Day March around the town with a replica of that Red & Black Workers Coffin at the fore. Go on do it! Caernarfon, Gwynedd Go Left! I mean really Welsh Radical Left of course, forward an Adfywiad Goch Cymru!


After which I guess many of you might wish to participate in Rali Cilmeri, why not follow my example and make it an occaision to remember the struggles of the People; Past, Present and Future. I shall not be attending, reasons for which I have fully informed on in post below, suffice to say here now, is that at Rali Cilmeri 2009 I declared I was 'Going Left' and it's obvious from above that this year I have been busy doing so.


Further to above see Cofiwn Goch posts in this blog.

Hwyl!


Gethin Gruffydd.
