I of course have been aware of the Mynydd y Gwair Windmill Plantation Plans for a while but thought no need for my concern seeing as there existed a well organised local Anti - Windmill Campaign.

Save Mynydd y Gwair Mountain from Windfarm Developers.
Though over past year or so, doubtful how active other than in the courts, none of their members not even their 'leading light' Ioan Richard turned up at his own behest to protest at Swansea Docks when there was a Turbine Transport run from there to Brechfa Windmill Plantation Site. Not only did that start to worry me but since being involved in the 'Save Stryveland Campaign', I have become very concerned about the 'Nimbyism' that prevails in Cymru/Wales, at it's worse seen in the joint attacks on Sian and I by Ioan Richard, Lyn Jenkins and 'Anglo Nimby' Goeffry Sinclair and another more politely, which is why I will not present a name. Of course this is but what we are aware of but what we have detirmined by other means is that the 'Anglo - Nimby' led Anti - Windmill Campaigns oppose our Nationalist Stand on this as a Nationalist Issue in a Nationalist Campaign. They seek a 'Brit/English National Campaign' working with a 'Brit/English National Platform' as I have already informed on in blog below:

Recently, as mentioned above we had a lot of critcism, the two 'native whingers' were one side of the coin but then this is a 'Welsh Thing' to back stab but when an 'Anglo' has a go and particularly in a way that discounts our history or our patriotic use of our history as a platform gets me 'peed off' to say the least. The Geoffry Sincler apart from being 'arrogant' and dismissive of our campaigning and Sian's film was 'water on a ducks back', if it were not for the fact it was intentionally to serve both purpose of really digging a great devide between 'Anglo - Nimbies' and any Welsh Nationalist Campaigning also perhaps aimed at the 'New Limp Left Positionists' of Plaid 'green' Cymru who might now consider any reference to our past 'passé '. This however, is not so as there is no way Leanne can turn her back on Tonypandy 1910, Bethan on Merthyr 1831 and Helen Mary Jones Llanelli 1911 or Elin Jones Rhyfel y Sais Bach 1826 or Jill Evans Cilmeri 1282. Of all five PC 'Leadership Ladies, I think it would only be Leanne who would allow her 'Green Environmental Pacifist Feminist' ideas to cloud her judgement about Owain Glyndwr and not wish to dwell on 'Medieval Wales'. Well, I don't particularly want to so anymore either and am setting myself a year zero but at 1282, unlike Leanne and 'Cambro - Brit Patriots' who have a Year Zero at 1839 or 1926. I am at moment beginning to work on a Socialist Republican History of Wales based very much on my popular Working Class Histories to my blogs: Red Remembrancer, Adfywaiad Goch and Partisan Cymru. This work will very much be based on my present Social Republican History Blog:

The point is Geoffry, we Welsh cannot escape our history, scratch us and we bleed a common story we share even though most of our people today suffer 'Historical Amnesia' for verity of reasons which I am not going into here. But it is why I worked with Cofiwn for so many years, help Sian with her Gwaith Llysgenhadaeth Glyndwr and myself continue to work in our Medieval Past with my I'r Gad Battlefield Campaign, Urdd Brenhinol Cymru and Ymgyrch Treftadaeth blogs.

However, today I do not so much see such medieval history as the basis of my present own 'Return Left Position' as I have done for many years untill the turn of the millenium. Today the historical basis of my 'Going Left Again' politics however, does have a medieval prologue set in the post conquest years of 1282 - 1400. For it is in this period we have the beginnings of Welsh Peasant Revolts and full scale rebellion as very much Owain Glyndwr's largelly downwardly mobile lesser nobility, Outlaws, Freed Tenant/Serf/Bond Person that becomes a Peasant Army. They are the ancestors of future Peasant Protest and Struggles that begin to trouble Wales about the time that English Lords as the 'Baeufort Bunch' - the Dukes of Somerset and the Essex Aristocarcy as example are handed much land in Cymru/Wales by the Tudors. That is Land not already possessed by earlier 'Anglo - Norman Conquistadores' from coming of the Normans in the late 11th Century to the Edwardian English Conquest and Colonisation in 1282. But Post 1282 the Native Welsh in one small area of Wales repossessed their land of Mynydd y Betws in a struggle fought so hard the area became known as 'Stryveland'.

On this, I have not , dwelled too much but why is 'Stryveland' so important in this story and as basis of an Anti - Windmill Campaign. Of course, the 'Anglicised' Welsh Gentry are as much the ferocious Land Grabbers as are larger Welsh Land Owning Farmers in the 18th Century who are also great encroachers upon Small Holders, 'commoners' and 'Squatters' land on the Mountains and barren Heathlands of rural Cymru/Wales. Such encroacment and inclosure would witness the rise of the peasantry in popular struggles to keep and take back their land, as on 'Stryveland' 1282 - 1334 the rural poor would rise and as example in Cwmwd Caeo in the 16th Century, making a call that as rang down the ages 'Trech Gwlad Nag Arglwydd'. By the way a call remembered by the miners of Merthyr who suggested to Kier Hardie it was used as his Socialist Election Slogan. This struggle for Land and Liberty would continue down through the ages in the epic story of Rhyfel y Sais Back 1826 of West Wales down towards the 'Vagabond Quarrymen' of North Wales.

That is our history of Conquest and Colonisation and Welsh Resistence and sometimes Victory against great odds as no better told in the 'First Struggle of Stryveland 1282 - 1334 and will be told again in the 'Second Struggle of Stryveland 2011 - 2013. Geoffry Sinclair, other 'Guest Residents' and 'Anglo - Nimbies' as well Greenpeace, FoE and other followers of 'Environmenmtalist Carpet Baggers', inc Leanne and all aboard her 'Renewables Bandwaggon' may want to ignore or forget this history but many of us will not. If now the all of a sudden converted 'Socialists' Plaid Members of Leanne's 'Rainbow Republicanism' think they can win the Welsh Freedom Struggle 'Sterilised' and 'Sanitised' of our history in exchange for fadish 'Climate Change Politics' then foolishly you will not attain the Welsh Independence you seek. So stop being stupid all your Plaid Cymru converts to a false dawn, instead I suggest you come up to Penlle'r Gaer and there stand and look north across to Mynydd y Betws - 'Stryveland', then turn towards the West towards Mynydd y Gwair. As a real dawn rises in the East and light spreads across this Mountain Plateau of two great Precious Mountains and many Sacred Hills. I hope your eyes will opened and before you see a landscape within which there is an heritage written large in valleys and rivers and grassy slopes. See a 360 view of outstanding heritage value to future generations, then see upon it masses of metal 'Industrial Turbines' - 'Windmills of Mass Destruction' which will ruin this great legacy for centuries to come. Then ask yourselves the question what the hell have I done by collaboration in a devastation of an heartland i should hold dear not give away to Renewables Robber Barons because that is what the English Governement and E.U. Empire Builders demand. Excusing your treachery with the excuse of Climate Change Enviromental Friendly Foolishness! How stupid or should that be criminal can you get and should you not now join the Campaign against the 'New Conquistadores?'

SO, NOW TO WHERE TO FROM HERE?
I began this blog opptimisticaaly with a prologue, I conclude less pessimistically than I might taking into consideration because whlist the 'Struggle To Save Stryveland' might not have moved 'Anglo - Nimbies' or 'Native - Nimbies' nor mainstream Cultural Nationalism or Plaid 'green Cymru 'Renewables Rainbow Republicanism'. However, across a wide area of 'Alternative Political Nationalism' and 'Socialist Republicanism' also Balchder Cymru on the Patriotic Frontline of Patriotic Consciouness Raising there is a growing solidarity in the struggle to save 'Stryveland'. I see signs that the 'Struggle for Stryveland' will lead to broader political Patriotic Unity and the 'Patriotic Fringe' once more becomes a sound strong 'Alternative Nationalism' and of 'Radical Republicanism'. We shall see? myself politically I have thrown my hat into the ring of 'Socialist Red Republicanism'. Now advanced by Partisan Cymru blog in support of the 'Great Unrest 2012 Group', although I am also prepared to be sympathetic to 'My Little Republic' working towards a broad 'Educational and Activist' Republicanism that is more, I hope 'Mazzini' than 'Garibaldi'. I have suggested they consider a 'REPUBLICAN ACTION FRONT', initially advancing on a 'Unity' Platform against the Jubilee and the Crown Estate Windmill Plantations in Wales. That is something I can support passivelly and activelly but foremost in my concerns now is with the 'Great Unrest 2012 Group' considering a more long term struggle for 'Land and Liberty in campaigns against Cheque Book Conquest by whom and whatsoever as well as working medium to long term towards a Socialist Republican Party and Workers Congress. One thing, I think many will agree with is that it would be premature to establish such as an Independance Party or Similar. At the same time with BC favouring Plaid Cymru still, even after that sham affair of their conference and majority of 'Republicans' also followers of Plaid Cymru. It seems that only the 'Great Unrest 2012 Group' is clear about it's Political Road Forward, in all political areas of policy development I am leaving it to younger folk to develop, I do not want my past baggage to get in way of sound political thinking as to theory or practise. My main area of work will be in area as still years of 'archiving', writting a Socialist History of Wales and research work for the policy makers of the 'Great Unrest 2012 Group' also researching information of practical use to Welsh Republican Activism. I mention this here and now to be totally transparen as where I am coming from and what motivates me with much not least regards all I have presented in this blog from it's prologue to these epilogue pages which opens another chapter of struggle.
AFTER 'STRYVELAND' 2012
A struggle will continue on 'Stryveland' but it should be one where the 'Hosts of The West' (Eginiog) with the 'Hosts of the South' (Glywysing) get an act together and seek to get the 'Betws Preservation Group' and the Gwuan Cae Gurwen 'Communities Together' all get together to continue the struggle unto Victory or at least show the 'Nimbies' how it needs to be done to hence campaign against the coming of the Concrete Waggons and the Turbine Transports. So patriotic 'Hosts' aforementioned do not walk away from the Patriotic Frontline on Stryveland that joins the three fronts of Afan - Nedd, Swansea and Sir Gar at the foot of Penlle'r Gaer. See photo in link below:
Mynydd y Gwair
It is remember a suggestion that all groups get together and hold a meeeting on Saturday Evening 9th June during 'occupation Weekend' to discuss one United Front they might all mobalise within and on as a common platform to continue a Welsh National Struggle Against Renewables. No politics involved just action should make STRUGGLE a possible means to greater SOLIDARITY where political discussion and debate could open up a devide. I have sujjested making either RHUO'R DDRAIG that body or establish 'STRYVELAND' - Homeland Defence Movement/Platform or what ever. I would not attend such meeting as I cannot commit to much more 'Activist Direct Action' and thus those who can committ should have all the say in this matter. Everyone should keep in mind there is still looming ahead one great struggle that to not only defend Mynydd y Gwair from the Greed of the Renewables Windmill Masters but also set out to liberate this land from the centuries old grip of an English Aristocrat - an Absentee English Land Lord and grabber of profits out of the Communities of this region, a battle it must be fair to say long campaigned by Ioan Richard:
