At Westminster in London, Guy Fawkes, a chief conspirator in the plot to blow up the British Parliament building, jumps to his death moments before his execution for treason.
On the eve of a general parliamentary session scheduled for November 5, 1605, Sir Thomas Knyvet, a justice of the peace, found Guy Fawkes lurking in a cellar of the Parliament building. Fawkes was detained and the premises thoroughly searched. Nearly two tons of gunpowder were found hidden within the cellar. In his interrogation, Fawkes revealed that he was a participant in an English Catholic conspiracy organized by Robert Catesby to annihilate England’s entire Protestant government, including King James I. The king was to have attended Parliament on November 5.
Over the next few months, English authorities killed or captured all of the conspirators in the “Gunpowder Plot” but also arrested, tortured, or killed dozens of innocent English Catholics. After a brief trial, Guy Fawkes was sentenced, along with the other surviving chief conspirators, to be hanged, drawn, and quartered in London. On January 30, 1606, the gruesome public executions began in London, and on January 31 Fawkes was called to meet his fate. While climbing to the hanging platform, however, he jumped from the ladder and broke his neck, dying instantly.
In remembrance of the Gunpowder Plot, Guy Fawkes Day is celebrated across Great Britain every year on the fifth of November. As dusk falls in the evening, villagers and city dwellers across Britain light bonfires, set off fireworks, and burn an effigy of Guy Fawkes, celebrating his failure to blow up Parliament and James I.

Why do people believe in ridiculous conspiracy theories? Isn’t it much more likely that someone accidentally left two tons of gunpowder under Parliament due to incompetence?
It was a false-flag! The anti-Catholic government wanted a pretense to round up Catholics. Perhaps the Catholics wanted to put a stop to that crappy Bible translation.
Or even crazier. The CIA at the behest of Obongo murders civilians to start a war with Russia…ha ha ha ..sum things

13. ERIC CIARAMELLA hired and paid the SNIPERS,
and organized the Ukraine massacre.
under John Brennan orders.
but WHO authorized Brennan to proceed with the massacre of 100 people in Ukraine?
none other than Barack Hussein O.

They did this, in the hopes that Russia would be to busy with Ukraine, and they could finish off Assad without further interference.
It backfired, just like everything the democrats touch.
It make you wonder what kind of drugs they were doing during the Oblamo tenure, 8 years of total failure, everything they did wound up in a worst case scenario.
it started with Fast and furious gun running, and ended with Cross fire Hurricane, and it was all complete fuckups.
OK, fine. Another exhibit A. Rhetorical question only, but if you had the power of life and death in your hands, would you need any further evidence about the NWO? Is there something we can do to live our lives better in the here and now?–aside from religion of course. I’m not sure we can do anything but share our complaints. I don’t know that I can just completely unplug from online, got to follow my social instincts somehow. It’s a quandary. We know it’s a quandary. I think we need to just live with it until we can’t. How do we do that? I can’t handle going online and seeing this shit, deeper than we know. I don’t want to know. I don’t need to know. I know what I would do with power. You already know what you would do, probably nothing but Jesus evangelizing. Is there nothing else us relative geniuses can do? There is no public to logically convince of anything. I think the meeting will be great for those who will fit together, financially well off enough to travel and some kind of Christian. Anything else? Actionable info is problematic not because info is in short supply even though it is restricted greatly. It’s the actionable part. Can we at least admit that and just socialize without pretenses of changing things? The decline must happen. Idiots this many are a force of nature like weather. Christians embrace all pretenders and get the shiv. I up voted the above. I couldn’t get to 8 minutes for lack of a stomach or heart or whatnot. Kinetic anger is not my friend under the circumstances. It only chews me up like the ostracization and instilled psychological attachments. You’re all INTJs. Can’t we do better? What can we do? I suggest you who meet in meatspace to form a pseudo-crypto subculture and model yourselves after you know who, quietly play favorites. I don’t think you folks who can find acceptance among each other have the wild animal streaks necessary for this long-term fight. So I just rambled. That vid just, I don’t need to know any more.
