The 5th of November

Remember, remember the fifth of November,
the Gunpowder Treason and plot.
I see no reason why the Gunpowder Treason
should ever be forgot..


So yesterday was the big day. I thought I might see some news about Anonymous pranks or hackings related to their great revolution, but not a peep. Or how about the “Bank Transfer Day”? Did it achieve anything?

I love the movie "V for Vendetta" and it's in our DVD collection and is always a satisfying viewing. However, selecting a "hero" of a failed terrorist attack, depicted in a comic book and a science-fiction movie is not a good beginning to any political movement that should be based in the reality of our world and its current predicament. But I guess fantasy is really what it is all about with Anonymous. :razz:

But Domus, that's the best they can do. Reality isn't working for them, it doesn't line up with their view of the world, what little they actually do doesn't work, well, except destroy stuff.

We didn't do anything--our masks & outfits didn't arrive in time.... Just teasing!

By the time there is a constant, general upheaval by populations around the world, it will already be way too late. Those who Have will be spending all there time guarding their goodies for the vast multitudes that Have Not.
