SRSM PRESS RELEASE - SEPTEMBER 18 2012
James Murphy, MP for the English Parliament, has just set a precedent by persuading the organisers of a Pro-Independence rally to ban a democratic socialist group form taking part. As they said in Nazi Europe, “who will they come for next“?
Some young Tories set fire to an effigy of President Obama at St Andrew’s University a couple of years ago. Will he call on his Tory allies to be banned from Loyalist Unionist rallies?
Mr Murphy’s career began as a member of the “Revolutionary Communist Party” in Cardonald College, Glasgow. Yes, they could say that without laughing. He condemned Militant Labour for being “reformists“. He was also active in the RCP’s “Irish Freedom Movement” front, playing the sectarian game against the SNP and Scottish Independence. The RCP has long since vanished, but some of their lecturers in the South of England survived writing articles and producing videos attacking socialists, peace activists, and Irish Republicans, for the English media. They were virulently against Scottish Independence and anti-Scottish, and quite racist with it.
.
As a “revolutionary” student leader he was largely responsible for destroying the Scottish Union of Students in favour of the English National Union of Students, who were unable to prevent Labour from introducing tuition fess and slashing their grants. He managed to leave university without graduating and step up as a career politician, adored by the Unionist media. He is also a member of the Labour Friends of Israel. Anywhere but Scotland. You can see where Mr Murphy’s career is continuing, albeit dropping the socialist pretence.
Our intention was never to embarrass the rally organisers, or the SNP. Mr Murphy has given the rally good publicity, but has long since ceased to be embarrassed by his Party’s history of incinerating thousands of people in Iraq, rather than a piece of cloth. Perhaps he could look into the Weapons of Mass Incineration, based on Scotland’s soil and show a bit of concern for the people he has left in mass poverty - the very reason for this rally being necessary in the first place.
Compared with burning a Union flag, who are the terrorists?

Cymrwch Y Tir Yn Ol symbolically reclaims the Land on Mynydd Betws for the People of Wales - Support a Welsh Land Act Now
Following the complete occupation of Wales by the Anglo Normans in 1282 - 4 and again, in the 1420's following the War of Independence led by the great Welsh Prince Owain Glyndwr, great areas of Welsh land was either taken by the English Crown or 'given' as rewards to English barons for fighting for England in the Welsh Wars.
Ironically this was repeated by the Tudors in the 16th, who were of 'Welsh Descent', One such example being the Dukes of Somerset being given Mynydd y Gwair and much else throughout Southern Wales. This Mountain is now the centre of a major local issue and national campaign as the Somerset Trust intends to establish a Wind Mill Plantation on it.
Apart from the above, much of Welsh land was common land - which meant that the peasantry had the right to build a smallholding on it as well as hunt and fish but, increasingly over the centuries and up to the present, the Gentry and incoming 'New Conquistadores, such as Iron and Slate Masters began to seize this Common Land by means of Enclosure Acts. The issue of Anglican Church ownership was very much addressed in the Welsh Tithe Wars of 1886 - 88 by a National Land League but there is still much unfinished business to be taken care of.
Today, the aforementioned land is still occupied by the English Crown and the descendents of the English barons and, increasingly, by outside 'Utiliy Companies as in the case of the Vyrnwy Estate, It is being extensively plundered of its natural resources, such as water and timber, and is being savagely destroyed by gigantic windfarms. It is our Welsh herital land and we want it returned to the communities and people of Wales through this Wales Land Act.

Petition:
In view of the fact that our Cymric land is being desecrated by rapacious landlords, hereditary aristocrats, the English Crown and Corporate Utility Companies this Petition demands of the Westminster Parliament and the Welsh Government the restoration of the land, by compulsory purchase, to its rightful owner, the People of Cymru, in order to preserve our heritage, the great beauty of this land and the common right of our people to access and make use of it until perpetuity.

A GWERIN OWAIN MANIFESTO FROM EMBASSY GLYNDWR - 16th SEPTEMBER 2012
Dydd Owain Glyndŵr hapus i
bawb! Cofiwch chwifio eich baner Glyndŵr heddiw o ffenestri eich tai os nad oes
gennych bolyn pwrpasol - os nad ydych yn dod a'r faner i'r Rali Dydd Glyndŵr ym
Mhontardawe wrth gwrs! Gweler y ffilm yn y ddolen gyswllt isod sy'n dangos
ymhle y chwifwyd y faner ar Ddydd Glyndŵr Llynedd. Dwi'n siwr byddaf yn gallu
ychwanegu llawer mwy o luniau i'r ffilm yma wedi Dydd Glyndŵr eleni!
Happy Dydd Glyndŵr Day to
Everyone! Don't forget to get your Glyndwr flag out this morning to fly
throughout the day out of your windows if you do not have a flag pole - unless
you are coming to the Dydd Glyndwr Rali at Pontardawe of course, if so, bring
it with you. See the film in the link below which will remind you all of where
the flag was flown last year. I'm confident that I can add plenty more photos
to this film after today!
The Gwerin Owain Manifesto:
Many people, not just patriots, will be aware that Embassy
Glyndŵr has been to the fore in promoting Hanes Glyndŵr and with our Gwaith
Glyndŵr, have carried out many initiatives to ensure that our greatest of
national heroes is recognised in a number of practical ways such as
advancing 16 Medi as 'Dydd Glyndŵr', the wearing of the Glyndŵr Ribbon and the
flying of Baneri Glyndŵr on this and other days as and when people so wish
throughout the land. I do not want to take up space now in repeating a long
list of our achievements when such are recorded on our blog: Owain Glyndŵr
Communicates and in our films on youtube. Now we set forth in a new positive
political directions which will be made public at Pontardawe this Sunday 16
Medi 2012:
My purpose in this statement - Declaration of Intent of
Determination is to announce a major change of direction, not such which is
entirely new as we have always set out to not simply be 'just' a
'Commemorative Society' but also have led the way forward in a combative
consciousness campaigning struggle in many areas. Not least, in recent years,
via our Tarian Glyndŵr Initiative to defend our Heritage in the
Landscape, and in particular, against the ravaging of our country by the 'New
Conquistadores' aka 'Windmill Masters'' otherwise as far as we are concerned
'Renewables Robber Barons. This direction has now taken a central position in
our whole being and in our priority concerns, this will continue to become more
central as we have determined, hence, a political road for Embassy
Glyndŵr, to more participate in the establishment, building and advance of a
National Liberation Movement and Struuggle for Welsh Independance.
We are mindful of the realities that brought the Cymry of 1400
to rise with Owain Glyndŵr - and of how, amazingly quickly, the war of
independence spread right across the land. This was brought about by a Cymru
that had become an English Colony with the occupation of
1282.
Bourgeois Nationalism likes to make of this, a mainly 'cultural conquest' of Y Cymry but not so.
It was one of Social Consequence and of Economic Colonialism, the English occupation and Colonisation was such which would, by means of the Statute of Rhuddlun 1294 with Penal Legislation, militate economically and socially against the Cymry in a number of ways. One example of this Economic Colonisation, which has a modern echo, was the Windmilling of Cymru.
In post occupation Cymru, this meant that the Cymry could farm wheat if they had the arable land to do so but they could not mill it or bake it or sell it in the English controlled markets and Borough Towns, Only the 'occupiers' could do that. This is why, as a well thought out 'Economic War Strategy' by Glyndŵr, his largelly Peasant Army would destroy Wind and Water mills and smash the grinding stones.

This is why, as a well thought out 'Economic War Strategy' by Glyndŵr, his largelly Peasant Army would destroy Wind and Water mills and smash the grinding stones.
The consequence being over one hundred years of economic poverty
with no way upward and very little social mobility, thus this began to produce
a large underclass of the poverty stricken, many of whom
became thieves and outlaws - such as 'Adar y Griem' or mercenaries.
Whilst runaway serfs, bond people and tenants ran away from their masters
to begin to populate the upland and remoter margins of Cymru. This was a 15th
century 'underclass' and an army in waiting.
The 'Welsh Revolt', as it was first thought to be - was,
initially, of no serious concern but, the 'Conquistadors' and 'Colonists' had
misread much. Not least the resent and growing ill temper of the Cymry and
their eagerness to fight back, a desire that the Bards and 'Y Clerwyr'
give voice to in the years leading up to 1400.
All that was needed was a spark, the fuse to be lit and this occurred in September 1400 and 'Freedom's Flame' quickly spread throughout the land and the Revolt of 1400 became, in 1401, a War of National Liberation that by 1403 had destroyed English Castle Rule in Cymru and by 1404 had witnessed Glyndŵr holding Court at Cefn Caer, Pennal and calling for a Parliament in Machynlleth at which he was crowned 'Tywysog Cymru' on 21 June - a day we remember as Dydd y Senedd' or Dydd Sofraniaeth

In the Cymru of today, once more under English rule we witness
Social decline brought about by English and native colonial collaborationist
misrule that has caused vast unemployment and depopulation alongside, of which
we have seen in recent times, a new post devolution economic colonialism - not
least, by the Windmill Masters who follow in the footsteps of Copper, Iron,
Slate and Coal Masters to pillage our land in another 'Rape of the Fair
Country'.
Seeking again to Land Grab as regards the Vyrnwy Estate and many of our mountains upon which to set Windmill Plantations, all this, yet again, an expropriation of our natural resources and exploitation of our communities and people.

We are also, at this time , witnessing the establishment of a CORPORATE COLONY CYMRU and unbelievably to the fore in
collaboration of this, is Plaid 'Green' Cymru, failed and rejected reformist
Welsh Nationalist Party, a Party so politically bankrupt that it has fallen for
a 'Rainbow Republicanism' that makes of Cymru a 'Green Banana Republic' which
only masks the reality of a Plaid' green' Cymru as a willing tool of
International Capitalism and Green Imperialism
Our Country is at the 11th Hour, even possibly one minute to
midnight of a 'Tan 8 Terrorism' that wages a Windmill War upon Cymru. Under
these circumstances, all Patriots and Patriotic Groups, and that includes
Embassy Glyndŵr working mainly via Tarian Glyndwr must of great neccessity, put
to their fore, the political question of how we may all now advance a National
Liberation Struggle, a struggle that first and foremost sets out to defend our
country from all forms of exploitation and expropriation but, which at the same
time, continues to seek National Freedom in an Independence Struggle
which seeks to restore Senedd Glyndŵr in a re-established Cenedl Glyndŵr -
Cenedl Cymru Rydd.
This now is the Political Platform Embassy Glyndŵr will seek to put to the fore and represent, whilst working with radical groups such as PAW - Patriots Against Windmills, Partisan Cymru and the Great Unrest Group as well as Balchder Cymru, The Peoples Council and Celtic League possibly formed as a United National Resistance Council ?

In Conclusion.
Most Nationalists, I know, are of a 'Socialist' mind though of
varying degrees of commitment. I myself, and my partner Gethin Gruffydd support
Partisan Cymru and the Great Unrest Group along with their Struggle for
Land and Liberty and a Wales Land Act:
However, there is a 'Cymric Socialism' that is still of an
'Internationalist Ilk' that, in reality, goes as far as the White Cliffs of
Dover and is almost totally ignorant of the History of Cymru and whom
in their 'usual suspect' views, blindly follow in the footsteps of an English,
European or even the American New Left, There is no greater area of their duplicity
or, should that be stupidity?, that in the 'Green Wash' area in supporting
Capitalist Corporate Economic Colonisers to Pillage our land and resources.
In areas of history- and especially in that of Hanes Glyndŵr, they fear to come to terms with the fact that this medieval land owner was as Zapata, also a Land Owner. As for being of 'royal blood', the 'Socialist Spartacus' was also of Royal Blood.
The fact of the matter is, Glyndŵr led, largely, a peasant army content to support him as his revolt was also in their favour and liberating they to from serfdom and bondage. Because of the War of Independence such servitude would disappear and also make it possible for the 'Underclass' to during, and after the war, occupy the uplands and other margins of Cymric Territory - and even, in some parts, re-occupy land that had been taken from the native over the Anglo - Norman Centuries of Conquest and Colonisation.
This Peasant Army in time would become the 'People of the Pitchfork' of later centuries who would rise and fight against enclosures of their land with the call to action of 'Trech Gwlad Nag Arglwydd.
Thus, if of Socialist mind, be reminded that what was good enougth for 19th century Socialists and workers, who had lodges named after Glyndŵr and drank in a Merthyr Pub named the Owain Glyndŵr, then it should be good enough for you.
Thus, join us in a Peoples Struggle as was, in many ways, the Owain Glyndwr War of Independance. Do not be on the wrong side!

The Myth of Glas Cymru - The Green Market Economy is dead - Statement of the Great Unrest Group 2012 plus text of Leanne Woods speech to Plaid Cymru
Leanne Wood's speech to the Plaid Cymru Conference in Brecon has its central focus on the myth of Glas Cymru a vehicle for the Green Welsh Market Economy.
Clearly the Plaid Cymru Economic Commission has not done its home work - the Green Market Economy is broken and cannot be fixed.
Watch the video below to understand failure of Green Market Economy.
There is talk of public investment and community ownership of our resources but it is just talk - no support for calling for a Welsh Land Act and a Welsh Land Commission which would provide the base for community ownership of resources.
All this Plaid Cymru Green doubletalk usually ends up as corrupt private/public partnerships with new Cymru Glas activists acting as shock troops for corporates.
There is talk about the need for a Welsh financial system but no call for what is essential for independent Welsh financial system - a Welsh Central Bank.
See Article from Great Unrest 2012 calling for Welsh Central Bank here :
http://democracyandclasstruggle.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/wales-depopulation-emigration-and.html
Why should Wales rely on a Bank of England for monetary policy ? But Plaid Cymru want us to rely on the European Central bank for monetary policy and have learnt nothing from recent history.
There is a non market real green economy that is developing throughout the world based on agro ecology and food sovereignty promoted by Via Campesina and publicised in Wales by Cymrwch Y Tir Yn ol.
Plaid Cymru says it wants to helps Welsh Famers but no proposal for Food Sovereignty for Wales a policy supported by Cymrwch y Tir yn ol - a most practical policy - just the failed policy of food security.
See article on Real Green Economy here :
http://democracyandclasstruggle.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/real-green-solution-to-climate-change.html
Such community based real green economy based on the Land gets no mention by Plaid Cymru - instead we get Plaid double talk which continues the myth of the green market economy in Wales.
Until the people of Wales take the future of their country into their own hands and out of the hands of the so called representative parties including Plaid Cymru and develop new democratic institutions like a Welsh Republican Congress based on direct Democracy Wales will not be there at the end of history despite the claim of the Old Man of Pencader.

PLAID CYMRU AND LEANNE DOES NOT DEFEND CYMRU AND THE LAND OF OUR FATHERS ONLY CYMRWCH Y TIR YN OL MAKES A STAND FOR WALES - MAE NHW YMA...THEY'RE HERE!
Sept 12 2012 was the day that the First two Wind Turbine blades was transported from Swansea Docks to Mynydd y Betws, Carmarthenshire. Two trips down 88 to go and this is for 15 turbines only!
They are to be planned in droves on mountains all over Cymru/Wales and will totally destroy our heritage in the landscape.
Gethin Ap Gruffydd of Cymrwch Y Tir Yn Ol says :
"Now if anyone out there wants to be 'on side' in a serious struggle as a 'Stryvelander'
Join us in a Glyndwr Rally in Pontardawe and engage in seven weeks of hard struggle against the 'New Conquistadores' aka 'Renewable Robber Barons' aka 'Windmill Masters, like now not down the road in 2016.
PS: Why is Leanne and others collaborating wiith Capitalists as Dukes et al who seek to make of our country 'CORPORATE COLONY CYMRU', mystifying or just DUMB?
For me and others of Partisan Cymru and the Great Unrest Group it is very simple a matter of LAND and LIBERTY, CYMRWCH Y TIR YN OL and then of course DAL DY DIR.

The Kalikot Book Series launches with Zak Cope’s “Divided World Divided Class”
Divided World Divided Class by Zak Cope charts the history of the ‘labour aristocracy’ in the capitalist world system, from its roots in colonialism to its birth and eventual maturation into a full-fledged middle class in the age of imperialism.
It argues that pervasive national, racial and cultural chauvinism in the core capitalist countries is not primarily attributable to “false class consciousness”, ideological indoctrination or ignorance as much left and liberal thinking assumes.
Rather, these and related forms of bigotry are concentrated expressions of the major social strata of the core capitalist nations’ shared economic interest in the exploitation and repression of dependent nations.
The book demonstrates not only how redistribution of income derived from super-exploitation has allowed for the amelioration of class conflict in the wealthy capitalist countries, it also shows that the exorbitant ‘super-wage’ paid to workers there has meant the disappearance of a domestic vehicle for socialism, an exploited working class.
Rather, in its place is a deeply conservative metropolitan workforce committed to maintaining, and even extending, its privileged position through imperialism.
“This is a surprising book. At a time when confusion about Globalization surrounds us, Zak Cope pulls us towards what is fundamental. He outlines the 19th & 20th century recasting of the diverse human world into rigid forms of oppressed colonized societies and oppressor colonizing societies. A world divide still heavily determining our lives.
Working rigorously in a marxist-leninist vein, the author focuses on how imperialism led to a giant metropolis where even the main working class itself is heavily socially bribed and loyal to capitalist oppression. Much is laid aside in his analysis, in order to concentrate on only what he considers the most basic structure of all in world capitalist society.
This is writing both controversial and foundational at one and the same time.” - J. Sakai, author of Settlers: Mythology of the White Proletariat
Divided World Divided Class is the first book in Kersplebedeb‘s “Kalikot Book Series” and can be purchased at Kersplebedeb for $20 USD/CAD.
Democracy and Class Struggle says we hope this book creates some controversy and discussion has it has been quite a long time since J Sakai's work and the questions it raises about class and race. We welcome the publication of this book and the issues it raises.
However this is not be taken to mean that Democracy and Class Struggle agrees with the views expressed in the book - we would however welcome a debate around the questions raised by Zak Cope.
