WELSH HISTORY TODAY: THE HUW EDWARDS PRESENTED 'STORY OF WALES' NOUGHT BUT AN HI - TECH POLISHED MEDIA CRUMBS FOR THE 'ENGLISH SPEAKING WELSH'' WHO ARE NOW NEEDED BY DEVOLUTIONISTS MORE THAN EVER TO JUSTIFY THEIR USELEASS EXISTENCE - NO WONDER WELSH PATRIOTS, INC THE 'NATIONALIST ULTRAS' BECAME 'ORGASMATIC' WITH DELIGHT BUT IN REALITY MOST HISTORIANS HAVE CONDEMED IT FOR A VERITY OF REASONS AS >


Professor Ralph Griffiths writting in History today, as I had already stated though the 'Medieval Episodes' very lacking but like he like I though the later episodes quite good. However, that last episode total loaded  'Crachach Crap' and WAG 'Quisling Puppet Parliament Propaganda, my views below.

In a new BBC History Magazine book 100 Places that Made Britain, David Musgrove asked historians to nominate key sites in Britain's story. Here, Ralph Griffiths,professor emeritus of history, Swansea University, ... Kidwelly Castle, a 12th-century Norman stronghold, was host to many revolts in South Wales ... On this day.

The entire period of the 'sixties' in this story of Cymru/Wales dwelled on the Drowning of Capel Celyn but made no mention that it kicked off an 'Armed Revolt' in Cymru/Wales. Certainly no mention of Patriots who risked all in such struggle in their imprisonment and death. What we got was  the beginnings of Plant Crachach (who become the later Crach Newydd) in a 'Language Struggle' largelly pulling down sign posts and climbing up Television Masts as a Welsh Version of American Black Civil Rights or Northern Irish Catholic Civil Rights. But the largelly Working Class Revolutionary Action and 'Armed Adfywiad, much same as the Black Panthers, American Indian Movement and IRA or ETA as articulated in above books and my blog got no mention. Though that's not true, whilst discussing the Investiture of 1969 such was limited to just this ''A Bomb Plot'' was mentioned, this rather middle class 'Coffee Book' version of a post Devolution  is an Accepted Crachach plus Devolution Dilettant Welsh History was far from 'transparent'. It was all the samec old stuff in a posher remix, just quite 'Cambro - Brit', yes! CULTURE CYMRU and SPORT WALES, all of which I deal with in:

Please pay attention now, it is the Nationalist father Hywel Teifi Edwards you need to listen to not the sell out 'Big BBC Brit' son Huw Edwards (what went wrong?). So to my review of the BBC Huw Edwards Version of Welsh History. Essentially no more than an updated version of 'Aros Mae' without bite of 'The Dragion Has Two Tounges' and certainly no attempt at some 'Radical Retro Revisionism'. All made 'Politically Correct' and 'Cultural Cleaned' history to promote 'TY WAG' and justify the existence of 'Y Crachach Newydd'. The former being a Quisling 'Puppet Government' - An Assembly of Appeasement with English Imperialism and the latter nought but in reality England's 'Client Tribe' in Cymru/Wales. Some say already the 'Secret Government' via 'Y Gorsedd' etc, a kind of but non 'racist' Cymraeg Version of the Afrikaner 'Broederbund:

Though note: I cannot stress enough that 'Y Crachach' are far removed from the 'Racist Fascisim' of the 'Afrikaner Broedrbund' but it is well worth noting that the 'Cultural Nationalist' Wales of Lloyd George and Cymru Fydd were to be keen supporters of the Boers in the fight against 'British Imperialism'. But not so, oddly the more Welsh Nationalist Liberal later Plaid Cymru member Beria Gwynfe Evans who was at the time a 'Liberal Imperialist'.

    Even in area 'Belleville', where I stay when attending 1871 Paris Commemoration, the strong Radical Working class area there are streets named to celebrate the Boer Struggle against British Imperialism, this does not of course mean that such sentiments were in anyway 'Racist' or Right Wing. Same for Liberals and Socialists of those times, their sentiments were Anti - British Imperialism though there was a strong belief in Cymru/Wales of these times that 'Y Cymry' were very similar to the Boers in areas of Language and Religion under unsympathetic British Rule.

 However, it is still of interest to see similarities in ways, any Minority Nationalist  'Class Group' will advance their 'Socio - Political Status and Position. I am of course selecting a very contraversial area not least concerning use of media as example one of the aims of 'AB' was to use modern media as early cinema to ressurect and sustain Afrikaner Nationalism, restore such and return it to power over and above and to get rid of British Rule. Thus:

In the book The Rise of The South African Reich:

www.american-buddha.com/rise.reich.htm
THE RISE OF THE SOUTH AFRICAN REICH. by Brian Bunting. Contents: The Birth of the Nationalist Party · The First Nationalist Government · The Broederbond ...

Highlights how the Broederbond came to target and capture media to advance their cause, in first place via Newspapers but also early cinema. They bought up urban cinemas and made them over to dispossed Boer Farmers and unemployed Afrikaners to run increasingly showing pro - Boer films, to advance 'Afrikaner' political struggle to eventually over turn their Conquest and Economic Colonisation (Gold and Diamonds, what the hell do you think the Boer Was about, defending and freeing the natives?) that had come with British Post Boer War rule. This would lead to the making films that were promoting of Afrikaner Nationalism and seeking of Political Power.

One thing for sure, if you then take a look at the short tribute to David de Lange, at first you may consider it is just all about more promotion of Afrikaner Culture. You will see similarities with Cymru, even today as far as Cultural Nationalism and Cymric Folk Nationalism is concerned

However, go on to the second and third film, there also read up on David de Lange and I would hope that he and his 'Socialist Sentiments' would be more inspirational to our radical struggles, not least to the recently converted Plaid Cymru 'New Left' (40 years too late perhaps?) Leanne Wood their leader I am sure would but would not be able to advance such sentiments further in Welsh Media unless she 'Liberated' her mind from 'Crachach Views of Welsh History' and from their domination of Welsh TV Media and instead stood up for English Language National TV Service and condemned the BBC WEST BRIT DRAMA VILLAGE IN BAE CAERDYDD as
