1. Gunpowder, Treason and Plot

The Gunpowder Plot, 1605. A failed attempt by a group of English Catholic nobles to assassinate King James I. The plot was to kill the king, his family and most of the Protestant aristocracy.

The plan was simple, the plotters wanted to blow up the Palace of Westminster during the opening of Parliament on 5th November 1605. The only one caught was a longtime soldier and explosives expert Guy Fawkes, who was supposed to engineer the whole plot.

Some of the conspirators warned their fellow Catholics not to come to the Parliament. On Friday 26 October Lord Monteagle received a letter, which was apparently sent by his brother-in-law Francis Tresham. Monteagle read it out loud, perhaps to warn the conspirators that they had been revealed and immediately handed it over to Robert Cecil, the Secretary of State. The rest of the conspirators had learned about the letter the next day, but decided to go on with the plan, especially after Fawkes visited the explosives warehouse and announced that nothing had been touched.

“Knowledge, like air, is vital to life. Like air, no one should be denied it.”
– Alan Moore, V for Vendetta"

On 4th November the warning led to the inspection of the underground premises of the House of Lords including the cellars. At midnight on the 5th November, Thomas Knyvetem accompanied by a group of armed men discovered Guy Fawkes guarding bonfire of wood not far from twenty barrels of gunpowder. He had a clock, fuse and nitric paper by himself. Fawkes was arrested and said he wanted to kill the king and members of Parliament, he managed to conceal his identity and claimed that he acted alone. Later he was taken to the Tower and interrogated under torture, which was a practice prohibited with the exception of a clear command of the ruler or secret royal council.

2. V for Vendetta Graphic novel

Lets move through time. It is the year of 1980, Alan Moore and David LIoyd invented and drew comics „V for Vendetta“ where the main character wears a mask of Guy Fawkes. In 2006, the hero with a mask of Guy Fawkes got to the big screen in the film "V for Vendetta "(starring Natalie Portman and Hugo Weaving / agent Smith from the Matrix /, directed by James McTeigue).

What Guy Fawkes started in 1605 was completed by the man known as V 392 years later. Parliament, the building, the first of the symbols ceased to exist. For V and especially for you it is „the beginning …“

As Guy Fawkes would say: „The beginning of vengeance. Beginning of the end of the regime. Start vendetta.“

„The past can't hurt you anymore, not unless you let it.”
– Alan Moore, V for Vendetta“

3. The Present

It is happening, and it is happening NOW in the PRESENT, everywhere around Us.
