The Coming Blood Bath in America If you look at history, every time there is an internal crisis of and about a government, nation and so forth, it is because the existing structures of governance struggle to maintain BOTH social order and social decay, simultaneously. This is exactly what we are experiencing in America, right now. Never before in history has the American government denied the People their rights, liberties, property and beyond all other measures the pursuit of happiness as we experience right now. What created these conditions in America? Everyone of us through apathy and indifference to the world around us has, as we argue some sort of universal power struggle of: "right vs. left" dim wit thinking. But the truth is, while that debate rages on across the country, there are serious issues not being addressed by almost EVERYONE. Have you heard of the 99 per-centers? Do you know who they are? Have you heard of the 1 per-centers? Do you know who they are? This *IS THE ONLY ISSUE* at the moment. And most of you think voting for that guy or gal shall smooth things over. Well, if an American revolution occurs again, it is about some serious stuff concerning livelihood and the expansion of the American DO-NOTHING BUT MEDDLE BUREAUCRACY. Being taxed to death FOR NOTHING while the wealthy 1% pay nothing is the cornerstone of failure. Many cases are in point, too. Take France's revolution in the late 1700's which gave rise to Napoleon, a GODDAMN DICTATOR. The same shall happen here, too, I suspect. America is a failed nation.

That, of course, includes the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations across the United States. From New York to Seattle, protesters have donned the stylized masks of Fawkes -- a person seen by many as a 17th century terrorist. Traditionally, Guy Fawkes is celebrated on Nov. 5 in England by the burning of his effigy in a bonfire. The date is the anniversary of his failed Gunpowder Plot, in which Fawkes and fellow Catholic conspirators tried to blow up the English parliament in 1605. But those early celebrations of patriotic fervor have morphed into something new, with the help of the comic book series “V for Vendetta,” first published in the 1980s. Hollywood's 2006 film adaptation completed the transformation of Guy Fawkes by portraying a cryptic cinematic everyman as a hip anarchist who wears the grinning mask while waging what starts as a one-person war against a monolithic state in the future. Since then, the stylized Fawkes mask has been used by protesters, including the Occupiers, WikiLeaks supporters and the hackers known as Anonymous. The mask's use has become an apolitical message that simply says it's cool to be opposed to authority and even cooler to take action against perceived repression, whether economic, political or social. The transformation of political figures is nothing new. Political interpretation changes depending on the times, so symbolism often reflects that migration of ideas. For example, swastikas were initially religious symbols of good fortune in Asia; only later did they become the hated Nazi symbol of World War II Germany. Even the U.S. Founding Fathers were seen as criminals by the British before they morphed into freedom fighters -- after winning their insurrection, of course. As most English children learn, the Gunpowder Plot was an attempt by Fawkes and other provincial English Catholics to kill King James I by blowing up the House of Lords during the opening session of Parliament. The hope was that the violence would lead to a popular uprising and the eventual installation of a Catholic monarch. Fawkes, a soldier with experience on the European continent, was put in charge of igniting the gunpowder bomb. The plotters were betrayed and arrested, though some forcefully resisted. Fawkes and others were sentenced to be hanged, drawn and quartered, but Fawkes reportedly jumped from the scaffold and broke his own neck, a last gesture that saved him from the agony of being drawn and quartered.

Guy Fawkes was an English mercenary and failed plotter whose death was elevated into a national celebration complete with bonfires and the burning of effigies. Four centuries later -- thanks to Hollywood, not to mention a deep undertow of popular discontent -- his grinning, mustachioed face has become the symbol of resistance for almost any political movement.
