"Guy Fawkes" ...(wiki): Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Cite This Source
Guy Fawkes (13 April 1570 31 January 1606) sometimes known as Guido Fawkes, was a member of a group of Roman Catholic conspirators from England who planned to carry out the Gunpowder Plot. The plot was an attempt to blow up the Houses of Parliament, which would have displaced Protestant rule by killing King James I of England and the entire Protestant aristocracy, on 5 November 1605. Although Robert Catesby was the true leader and mastermind of the plot, Fawkes was put in charge of executing it due to his military and explosives experience. The plot was foiled shortly before its intended completion, as Fawkes was captured while guarding the gunpowder. Suspicions were aroused by his wearing a coat, boots and spurs, as if he intended to leave quickly. However it is argued by some that Guy and the other conspirators, in an early example of a false flag operation, were set up by the government, which wanted to rid Britain of Catholicism and needed scapegoats to arouse public support for the scheme. If this is true, Guy and his fellow conspirators were set up because they were some of the leading Catholics in England at the time. It is also possible that somebody in the group deceived them. In any event, it is unquestionable that the Crown knew of the plan beforehand. Fawkes has left a lasting mark on history and popular culture. Held in the United Kingdom (and some parts of the Commonwealth) on November 5 is Bonfire Night, centered on the plot and Fawkes. He has been mentioned in popular film, literature and music by people such as Charles Dickens, John Lennon, and Alan Moore. There are geographical locations named after Fawkes, such as Isla Guy Fawkes in the Galápagos Islands and Guy Fawkes River in Australia. - In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, off_world_beings <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com > <mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com> , "guyfawkes91" <guyfawkes91@> > wrote: > > > > > > > That fact that the official TMO apparently > > > > > No apparently about it.
