The Occupy protesters in the UK and USA have apparently adopted Guy Fawkes as their role model.
That figures…
For many years he had been a soldier in the Spanish army sent to crush the Dutch rebels who were fighting to win their independence
He was a terrorist who did not mind killing hundreds of people in his attempt to kill King James I
He wanted to turn England into a client state of Spain
He planned to kidnap the young daughter of King James and educate her as a Catholic to rule over a largely Protestant England as a puppet Queen using the Spanish Inquisition to suppress those who opposed the influence of Rome and Spain
By the beginning of the 1600s the English Parliament was beginning to see itself as a counter balance to the power of the monarchy – Fawkes and his Spanish minders believed Catholic monarchs ruled by divine right and should not be challenged
So…let’s see….
Guy Fawkes =Soldier in an army of occupation +Terrorist +Traitor +Kidnapper + Fanatic + Hater of an elected parliament….
Come to think of it – that mask is a perfect fit for those Occupiers…
