Happy Guy Fawkes Night

Doubtless some blogs will be linking to that clip from V for Vendetta, saying that it's a day for freedom, etc. Well, yes ... but not that kind of freedom. Guido Fawkes was no freedom fighter, but a Catholic mercenary hired by a group of noblemen to destroy the ruling class of England, install a puppet, Catholic government, and restore papal supremacy. Victory over Catesby and co., was a victory for the British monarchy and the independence of the nation.

How ironic, in light of recent events ...

One has to wonder, on the day we commemmorate deliverance from a seditious continental terrorist plot and the treacherous subversion of Rome, that the continental powers have achieved the subjugation of England, her Monarch and her Parliament, and the Treaty of Rome has triumphed. The wheel is come full circle.
