Guy Fawkes

A Neo-Machiavelian Neo-Leninist with a fancy mask..


"V for Vendetta", a movie which is trash with a twist...
The Right Honourable Reader will have to excuse this blogger of yours who has been a bit lazy lately. Instead of a full text about "V for Vendetta" I'd rather settle for a quick list of points for further speculation:
- Demonizing Guy Fawkes is part of the anti-Catholic ideological foundation of the modern (post-Henri VIII) English/British State. In constitutional terms the King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland cannot be a Roman Catholic. What are the religious views of our political leaders is, in most of our countries, politically irrelevant, but in Britain whenever a public figure is suspected of converting to the RC Church there's a kind of juicy voyeurism attached. ( Most recent examples: was Diana, the Princess of Wales, about to convert? Is Tony Blair attending Catholic Mass?). Ironic then that the hero of the political liberation of Britain from dictatorship - in the film and in the graphic novel it's based upon - is none other than a Guy Fawkes figure.
- Ironic too that one has to blow the Houses of Parliament, the symbol of the sovereignty of the People, in order to regain that same sovereignty. (Fantastic special effects' scene and almost worth the trip to the local cinema) . The original "Papist" plot was to kill the political targets expected to be in the Parliament building while here we have it as a kind of fun fair pyrotechnics to thank the masses for attending the meeting (like in the closing events of marketing-saturated electoral campaigns). Does not make sense.

I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the structure of
your website? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so
people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of
text for only having one or 2 pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?

Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally,
this indicates as though you relied on the video to make your point.
You obviously know very well what youre speaking about, why waste your intelligence on
just posting videos to your blog when you could possibly be giving us something enlightening to see?

I almost never leave a response, but I browsed a few responses on this page "Guy Fawkes".
I actually do have 2 questions for you if it's allright. Is it only me or do some of these comments look like they are coming from brain dead folks? :-P And, if you are posting at other sites, I'd like to keep up with you.
Would you post a list of all of your social pages like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
