EMAIL ONE FROM 'THE MAN' I am still not sure why he sent me this? one would think he would welcome our work but no. Let me explain apart from many unwarrented abusive 'MYSOGINIST FUELED' emails to Sain Ifan last year, often slagging off other Anti - Windmill Campaigners as 'Nimbies'. He kept sending Sian loads of all information from dozens of sources re arguements against Windmill Plantations. Very welcome too and, we have been posting some of this material up on our posts to share with others. Important to remember this with Email two coming up below. Further, note: The reason he was not involved in our campaign was because as often as not he kep telling us he could not be involved or put his mame to anything because he was Lord Mayor, a pretty 'Petit bourgeoisie' reason if you ask me but there you go, we honoured his 'excuses', untill now, see below:
YOUR MAN IN REASONABLE MODE COMMINICATION: Protest anywhere and everywhere at anytime, but pitch your best fights into the sites not yet granted Planning Permission AND importantly vote out any Political Candidate who supports Wind Turbines - or whose Party Supports Wind Turbines – from Councillor level to Assembly level to Parliamentary level – help any Candidate who is not in those camps. The County Council Election campaigns in Wales start on 27th March and ELECTION DAY is 3rd of May. Get active – help the best candidates for our cause. Also remember this is not a fight against pylons – it is a fight against Wind Turbines – without Wind Turbines in our hills there would be no pylons marching out of our hills. Pylons are an inevitable part of our national grid – but not marching out of our rural most scenic hills. Without SUBSIDIES there would be no Wind Turbines. Hammer that home to the politicians and the public. FOR YOUR ATTENTION ONLY: NOT TO BE SENT ON OR USED ON BLOGS OR FB PLEASE. Ioan.
NB: I did not publish as requested until now, and I think it is fair to do so now, just so all do get the full picture of what is going down with this 'serial internet email abuser' who uses, I believe Swansea Council Computors. I think it is fair that if he now insists on continuing giving Sain and I grief, he gets the same back in kind as we are totally and utterly fed up of this fella - SWANSEA's MAD MAYOR FROM HELL!!!
Em 1: See the attached enclosure:- I personally organised a public meeting on February 11th - 1993 - over NINETEEN YEARS AGO to oppose Wind Turbines proposed even then for Mynydd y Gwair in north Swansea . If you open the “Fly Poster” above, that I personally prepared for the meeting then – look at the base of the Wind Turbine – that’s a photo copy of a photograph of me in August 1992 at the base of what would now be a small wind Turbine in north Cornwall – my campaign against Wind Turbines started in early 1992 – over TWENTY YEARS AGO. At first I was met with curiosity – then there were many years of spiteful ridicule aimed at me – now a few people support the cause out of the majority of the public – yet most Politicians and especially Political Parties AND the Renewable Energy Companies are openly very, very hostile. It’s been a long haul for TWENTY YEARS. I welcome all the “Johnny Come Lately’s”, but I say to them do not dream you can stop a development already started like Betws. Ioan.
Having recieved this email, I prematurely decided myself to 'Surrender Stryveland' and call a retreat, in effect abandon the 'Occupation of that Mountain' but, I recieved a number of emails from Patriots and Partisans not to so and thus I issued this Statement:
''SURRENDER! THAT IS NOT AN OPTION EITHER'', Someone remarked to me and I must agree. IT IS A CASE OF RETREAT TO WHERE - OUR BACKS ARE TO THE WALL/MOUNTAINS! So No Surrender! However be in no doubt the two 'Idjeets' email, critcism was sent out to 100's possibly in way they send on all over 1000's will have read their critcisms, that will be very undermining indeed of our efforts towards a mass mobalisation. Not least because there exists opposition to us from within Plaid Cymru and Pro - Windmill Elelements of the Cultural Movement. This lot are 'Well Connected' and will use the criticism to undermine us greatly in favour of Leanne Wood's 'Green Banana Republic' which for real will be RenewablesUKcymru 'CORPORATE COLONY CYMRU. Whilst the MAP and CMS are 'Anglo' lead and are working with the Brit/English Anti - Windmill Movement towards a 'BRIT/English National Movement/Campaign' and 'National' West Minster Pavement Slog and do not want to see us 'Stryvelanders' making it a Welsh National Issue on economic and sovereignty grounds by organising first and foremost an 'HOMELAND DEFENCE' with 'BELTAIN BASH' in May in Caerdydd.
A usefull Email Info from 'Your Man'regards the High Court 'Victory' recently to advantage of the Mynydd y Gwair Campaigners: Every dismissed Appeal report has words to the effect of “you may appeal to the High Court” as a standard wording – it could even apply to a refused garden shed! It is extremely unlikely that Npower will appeal to the High Court. They now have two options (1) to drop it altogether or (2) to resubmit a new application (probably larger) avoiding the peat bog areas. A third option could be that the Duke of Beaufort could drop Npower, who from his viewpoint must seem to him to be (like himself) to be arrogant and incompetent having ignored the peat bogs. The Duke could now approach some other developer and ask them to submit a new application on his “Somerset Trust” land avoiding the peat bog areas – they would all now know what the Wales Assembly Planning Inspectorate think - since they showed their cards today. Whatever happens, it will be another fairly long protracted process.
Anyway today is our victory day – rejoice in it and hold a party – we will just have to wait to see what transpires and then fight what we can - if we can – never surrender. Fe godwn ni eto!
Hopefully the crazy high levels of subsidies will soon get criticised by sensible people to our lunatic politicians of all parties and if the subsidies are cut then Wind Turbines will not be built.
If anyone comes knocking your door for Wales Assembly election votes then give all of them hell about Wind Energy – they are all in it! Ioan.
For a while there was a short 'Truce' btween Ioan and I and he actually sent out an email congratulating us on our efforts an I replied briefly saying I will ignore and forget the 'hiccup' requesting he be a guest speaker at the MyB rally oin the 9th June, then out of the Blue this:
Offending Email 2 From 'Your Man': On 24 March 2012 01:28, Richard, Ioan (Councillor) <ioan.richard@swansea.gov.uk> wrote:
''Some “johnny come lately’s” may belittle those of us who have fought against Wind Turbines proposed for Mynydd y Gwair for twenty years now – to much ridicule and hostility from pseudo Welsh Nationalists* (including severe abuse from a few pseudo “Welsh Nationalists”) and pseudo Greens* by naming us on web sites – and even paste up our e mails on their web sites. What these “johnny come lately’s” conveniently forget (or simply do not know) – that DIRECT ACTION has taken place at Mynydd y Gwair where no less than FIVE VERY COSTLY EXPENSIVE WIND MONITORING MASTS have been destroyed at Mynydd y Gwair in direct actions. Plus two massive demonstrations and several packed public meetings over the years. All this was done without pictures of red pitchforks! I resent seeing these “johnny come latelty’s” paste anything from us without asking us on their websites! Ioan. But it was all freely available on the web you dumb ass!
How about twinkle toes Lord Dafydd El saying his Energy advisors were C.A.T.? We have Ioan constantly you pratt!
My Reply: I can tell you that when I read this, I began to see 'RED MIST' I had awoke early gone on web to begin some positive web work and planned an afternoon not in the Sunshine but doing a few posters and then going to see my mam who is in care. However, this second email on top of one night/day week past staying up near enough 24 hours on the 'March Into The Mountain Intiative' but I became to 'trembling angry' to write anything sensibe nor then could I remember what else I had to do, so very much a wasted day as is this one doing this uneccessery post and others on this matter. What seems to offend Ioan, what the hell is he complaining about?
MYNYDD Y GWAIR HIGH COURT VICTORY. What I did not include was Ioan's request for £36 pound donation for his Lord Mayors charity appeal which he asked I pass on but I am not in the business of passing on such appeals not even for my favourite charities. At moment for Orangutans:
Orangutan Aid
www.orangutanaid.com/
Orangutan Aid is dedicated to the memories of Gistock, Regina, Green and the thousands of other orangutans who have lost their lives because of man's greed
He did not say not to publish as he usually does because he his Swansea's Mayor.
Communication I posted up or what, I emailed and asked him but no reply other than suggesting we campaign for a Dr Myron Edwards in the May Elections, what was that all about? However, I have checked out on the web Dr Myron Edwards (his manifesto to be published in this blog in not too distant future) and will suggest people vote for him to get rid of Ioan Richards. Re Other stuff he sent me. I remind Ioan why when he asked people to protest against Turbines coming into Swansea Docks, he did not turn up but Sian and I did on our own by the way, no one else at all?
I am not no matter how absolutly fed up going to 'QUIT' and again 'SURRENDER STRYVELAND' but I am going to radically review much in the light of all this flak! flak! from the 'Mad Mayor of Swansea'. This includes review of the 'Occupation of Mynydd y Betws', the 'Betws Barricade' and indeed prior to these the 'Easter Walk About' on MyB and the suggested 'Beltain Bash' in Cardiff plus the 'Occupation of Nant yr Arian Forestry Centre' and the 'Fortress Glyndwr Initiatve'. Such review is not just brought about by Ioan Richards getting under my skin but in view of 'Extreme Triabal Nimby Tribalism' in Wales and the silly, stupid and very regrettable Plaid Cymru Conference which seen the joke of Welsh Nationalists all becomeing, all of a sudden (Y Crachach and Hydroites) becoming 'Socialist' spporters of Global 'GREEN IMPERIALISM' hell bent on making of Wales 'Corporate Colony Cymru'.
Central to my review I shall suggest now political Radicals and Republicans focus on a campaign against the Crown Estate Windmill Plantations in June. Leaving these 'Nimbies' to their own devices in cahoots with the BRIT ANTI - WINDMILL CAMPAIGN whilst we shall strive throught to establish a Welsh National Anti - Windmill Campaign in form of 'STRYVELAND' - Homeland Defence Movement or similar as may be decided on between Patriots and Partisans in this and other blogs as:
RHUO'R DDRAIG: PATRIOTS AND PARTISANS SEE THE ...
rhuorddraig.blogspot.com/.../patriots-and-partisans-see-important.ht...
RHUO'R DDRAIG. PLATFORM FOR PROMOTION OF A NATIONALCAMPAIGN TO DEFEND WELSH LAND AND RESOURCES FROM ...
So far Sian and I have spent a small fortune, me my back to Belleville money (Ioan and SOCME have had an huge donation to their fund from a Welsh Canadian Millionaire?) , we have traversed these mountains to carry out research, to film and foto plus all the blog and fb work. On top of this my flat is like a factory from kitchen to bathroom to living room in production of banners, flags. placards and posters. This week I produced and laminated 50 Posters for the next Agit - Prop Trip into the mountain and more such work planned for an Easter Ramble.
I have a mother in care who is on my mind constantly and requires I visit her at least three/four times a week or more, I usually and Sian too, visits family and grandchildren over Easter both of us cancelled such to be on Mynydd y Betws over Easter and to attend any meeting that might be organised in Ammanford?
Recently, I have been thinking as so few people actually offer to help, wonder what the hell am I doing. Just for some 'Jerk' to call me a 'Spuedo Nationalist'.
'Nimbyism In Extremis!'
I ask myself do I 'QIUT' but no I will not do that but I shall be cutting back on much effort re the 'Mynydd y Betws Occupation'. This aside, I ask myself how is it that this 'Mountain Plateau', a small part of Cymru with on three sides 'Cymreag' speaking population along with three Action Groups on three sides of the Plateau; SOCME (Mynydd y Gwair), Betws Preservation Group (Mynydd y Betws) and Communities Together (Gwuan Cae Gurwen) cannot get themselves come together in a Common Front to Defend the Plateau, why not? I think I know why, now?
Whatever, this is really it, this time as this pratt is all out to undo what I and a few others are attempting, he will just not be positive or go away. Now he actually allies himself with the 'Anglo' Anti Windmill Campaigners to back him up against Sian and I (see letters in Rhuo'r Ddriag). Very ironic when he often 'Slags Them Off' for a verity of Reasons. Of course what suits the 'ANGLO - NIMBIES' is that they do not want to see a Native United Front Against The Renewables Robber Barons, I hope our Patriotic 'Roaring Dragons' will have a great deal to say about that and fully now rally to the establisment soon of a UNITED WELSH PATRIOTIC FRONT AGAINST THE RENEWABLES ROBBER BARONS much of it in hands of and, supported by the 'White Settler' Environmentalist Carpet Baggers and their native 'Crachach Collaborators' plus it seems now Ioan Richards and Lyn Jenkins too who has fought 'tooth and nail' to stop the common folk from being able to walk the Penfro Coastal Path on the fringe of 'His Land'.
Under the circumstances of two attacks and more expected up to June, we shall very much be onto an hiding for nothing, these 'Funny Folk' and their 'Anglo - Allies' have it looks got what they want, unless now there is a massive mobalisation by all patriots to make a huge stand on 'Stryveland'. To make this a reality, we now need a great deal of pro - active Patriot and Partisan Unity and Solidarity in porganisation and preparation, we cannot do it alone and do not expect us to so. Rally around or we will have to retreat as we can not face an enemy on many fronts but worse of all Welsh Traitors who are stabbing us in the back! it is now really Up To You - If you want us to FIGHT ON - THEN YOU TOO MUST ENGAGE IN THE STRUGGLE AS FROM NOW BY EVERY MEANS POSSIBLE - NOT FOR WE BUT FOR 'STRYVELAND' and Our Country - CYMRU EIN GWLAD!
Gethin
