That is a scene with people wearing the mask of “Guy Fox” (his name), and the movie is “V for Vendetta” (fiction but with some basis in past events, but a fictional film about future ones) IIRC, he *ahem*, disrupted the British Parliment. You can Google him...
And it wouldn't hurt to show up with tar, feathers and a railroad rail.
On 11/4/08 all things changed - nothing will ever be the same. Obama & the Left hopes we will be content to continue faxing, e-mailing, calling, and spending our money in D.C. for rallies. It means they can go on ignoring us.
We’ve long since past the time for civil disobedience (of a non-violent nature). However, folks like Glenn Beck keep warning conservatives not to do anything but the SOP. Continuing to do the same things in light of a changed world is naive. When will conservatives wake up to the realization that we aren’t just “in a cycle.”
You’re onto it.
>>Guy Fox (his name), ... You can Google him...
Try “Guy Fawkes” instead.
Civil war is the only way. Namby pamby wishiwashiness will fail
NO Tea Party is over until the job is done.
A Match is well in order, on the day the new Congress is seated, and there should be Tea Partys all week long.

Good evening, London. Allow me first to apologize for this interruption. I do, like many of you, appreciate the comforts of every day routine- the security of the familiar, the tranquility of repetition. I enjoy them as much as any bloke. But in the spirit of commemoration, whereby those important events of the past usually associated with someone's death or the end of some awful bloody struggle are celebrated with a nice holiday. I thought we could mark this November the 5th, a day that is sadly no longer remembered, by taking some time out of our daily lives to sit down and have a little chat.
There are of course those who do not want us to speak. I suspect even now, orders are being shouted into telephones, and men with guns will soon be on their way. Why? Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, think, and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillence coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission.
How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well, certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you, and in your panic you turned to the now High Chancellor, Adam Sutler.
He promised you order, he promised you peace, and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent. Last night I sought to end that silence. Last night I destroyed the Old Bailey, to remind this country of what it has forgotten.
More than four hundred years ago a great citizen wished to embed the fifth of November forever in our memory. His hope was to remind the world that fairness, justice, and freedom are more than words, they are perspectives. So if you've seen nothing, if the crimes of this government remain unknown to you, then I would suggest you allow the fifth of November to pass unmarked. But if you see what I see, if you feel as I feel, and if you would seek as I seek, then I ask you to stand beside me one year from tonight, outside the gates of Parliament, and together we shall give them a fifth of November that shall never, ever be forgot. -- V for Vendetta
civil uprising? seriously? Nah...the Left would be fine with some folks showing up to spend money in DC. It’s another opportunity to ignore them & move on with their radical lameduck session.
JouleZ, I understand, I have been there, too. As the author of the piece in reference, I can tell you that the others did work to a degree.
We will reveal the whole plan in a few days to weeks. It is not a rally, it is a protest.
