Anarchists Etc Misunderstand the Meaning of Guy Fawkes

Misunderstood By: Anarchists, 4Chan.

Despite anarchists' general failure to unite long enough to make any meaningful progress against their ideological enemies (democracy, capitalism, communism and Internet forum moderationism), they do have a few running themes and symbols in common. One of the most prominent symbols is the 17th century English revolutionary, Guy Fawkes, whose famed exploit was his attempt to blow up Parliament in order to destabilize the British government.

The comparison is probably most recognizable to popular culture as the basis of the graphic novel/box office catastrophe V For Vendetta, in which a dude dresses up like Fawkes and brings down an evil dystopian theocracy. In recent years, through some bizarre online game of Chinese whispers, Fawkes has also come to somehow represent Internet teenagers' struggle against Scientology.

Because hey, why not?

While anarchists may be right that Fawkes was the only person ever to enter Parliament with honest intentions, they've forgotten what those intentions were. Fawkes wasn't trying to destroy an evil theocracy, he was trying to install one.

Fawkes' face of freedom.

Fawkes was a fighter for Spain and the Catholic Church. His goal was to end the slightly more egalitarian Protestant revolution in England by restoring Catholic domination. If the Gunpowder Plot had actually succeeded, Britain would probably look less like an anarchist commune and more like the fascist police state Alan Moore warned us about.

Guy Fawkes Masked 'Anonymous Tips Its Papist Hand Against Israel & 'Zionism'

Not a syllable of constructive criticism of Israel, aka against exclusionary Labor Zionism nor any other entity in the Middle East particularly Hamas- Palestine which is vehemently pro drug inquisition

Has Anonymous ever criticized the Papacy?

Cyber activist group Anonymous has released an internet video which threatens Israel with an “electronic Holocaust” on April 7, in a massive cyber attack planned to fall just over a week before Holocaust Remembrance Day on April 16, known in Israel as Yom HaShoah.

The video shows a masked figure in a suit and tie delivering a prepared statement, warning that the group will eradicate Israel from cyberspace “for... crimes in the Palestinian territories”.

“We will erase you from cyberspace in our electronic Holocaust,” says the video’s masked figure.

"As we did many times, we will take down your servers, government websites, Israeli military websites, and Israeli institutions."

 “A message to the youth of Palestine, you are a symbol of freedom, resistance and hope: we are with you and will continue to defend you,” the electronic voiceover adds. “Our message to the foolish Benjamin Netanyahu and all leaders in the Zionist entities, we will continue to electronically attack until the people of Palestine are free.”

Delivered in English and with Arabic subtitles, the video shows Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu sitting with members of his cabinet and military leaders, coupled with images from the Gaza conflict, including ones showing the air strikes on the enclave during the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Operation Protective Edge last summer and Gazans running with injured children.

Previous targets of the hacker group’s operations have been websites of the Israeli prime minister’s office, the IDF, the Bank of Israel and the Embassy of Israel to the United States.

Benjamin T. Decker, senior intelligence analyst at Tel Aviv-based geopolitical risk consultancy The Levantine Group, says that the hacker collective makes the threat every year and, thus, Israel has acclimatised to the cyber threat, with less damage done with every year.

“For the most part, this is posturing. This is actually the fourth year that Anonymous has carried out this Op Israel attack and called on their supporters to erase Israel from the internet,” he says.

“As the years have progressed we have seen that, despite their increasing sophistication in hacking techniques, we have seen less damage against Israeli cyber infrastructures, largely due to Israel’s pioneering of most cyber warfare tactics, both offensive and defensive.”

Last year, during the Gaza conflict, the ‘hacktivist’ group pledged that the #OpSaveGaza campaign against Israel would “expose their terrorist activity to the world”, referring to Israel as ‘Israhell’. 

Anonymous sounds like the same pro Papist nonsense that I exposed here.

Any group purporting to be pro people and pro Gaza should be anti Hamas.

There really ought to be a mass protest of people burning these ridiculous Guy Fawkes masks.

The Washington Post Lies: Guy Fawkes as an "anarchist"

A recent fund raising effort by followers of candidate for U.S. President Ron Paul has revived some attention to the historical figure Guy Fawkes (1570 - 1606).

n. 1. a person who believes in the doctrine of the freedom of the will
2. a person who believes in full individual freedom of thought, expression and action
3. a freewheeling rebel who hates wiretaps, loves Ron Paul and is redirecting politics

How to make sense of the Ron Paul revolution? What's behind the improbably successful (so far) presidential campaign of a 72-year-old 10-term Republican congressman from Texas who pines for the gold standard while drawing praise from another relic from the hyperinflationary 1970s, punk-rocker Johnny Rotten?

Now with about 5 percent (and climbing) support in polls of likely Republican voters, Paul set a one-day GOP record by raising $4.3 million on the Internet from 38,000 donors on Nov. 5 -- Guy Fawkes Day, the commemoration of a British anarchist who plotted to blow up Parliament and kill King James I in 1605. Paul's campaign, which is three-quarters of the way to its goal of raising "$12 Million to Win" by Dec. 31, didn't even organize the fundraiser -- an independent-minded supporter did...

According to the Washington Post, Guy Fawkes was an "anarchist."

Anarchism

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

"Anarchist" redirects here. For the comic book character, see Anarchist (comics).

Anarchism (from Greek ἀν (without) + ἄρχειν (to rule) + ισμός (from stem -ιζειν), "without archons," "without rulers")^[1] is a political philosophy encompassing theories and attitudes which reject compulsory government^[2] (the state) and support its elimination,^[3][4] often due to a wider rejection of involuntary or permanent authority.^[5] Anarchism is defined by The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Politics as "a cluster of doctrines and attitudes centered on the belief that government is both harmful and unnecessary."^[6]

Guy Fawkes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Guy Fawkes (13 April 1570 – 31 January 1606) sometimes known as Guido Fawkes, was a member of a group of Roman Catholic revolutionaries from England who planned to carry out the Gunpowder Plot.^[1] The plot was an attempt to blow up the Houses of Parliament, which would displace Protestant rule by killing King James I of England and the entire Protestant aristocracy, on 5 November 1605.

Would not such an individual be more appropriately called a Roman Catholic terrorist?

What would the Washington Post call someone if they tried to do the same thing on Capitol Hill in the event that Congress was insufficiently loyal to the Vatican?

The Washington Post clearly needs to hire a fact checker, and it needs to fire those Vatican lackeys amongst its editors that work to debase their newspaper in order to keep in it in compliance with Rome (such as with the black-out of the proposed South Capitol Mall).
