Remember, remember the Fifth of November!

[Heftruck]

Good evening, Politics.

I thought it was time we had a little talk. Are you sitting comfortably? Good. Then I'll begin. Right now, I imagine there are hundreds of soldiers rushing here to kill me because someone does not want us to talk. They are afraid that I am going to say the things that are not supposed to be said. They are afraid that I am going to say the truth.

The truth is that there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there? If you look about, you witness cruelty, injustice and despotism. But what do you do about it? What can you do? You are but a single individual. How can you possible make any difference? Individuals have no power in this modern world. That is what you've been taught because that is what they need you to believe.

But it is not true. This is why they are afraid and the reason that I am here; to remind you that it is individuals who always hold the power. The real power. Individuals like me. And individuals like you.

I have come to offer you a deal. If you accept, I will give you a different world. A world without curfews, without soldiers and surveillance systems. A world that is not run by other men but that is run by you. I am offering you a second chance.

Four hundred years ago, a great citizen made a most significant contribution to our common culture. It was a contribution forged in secrecy and stealth although it is best remembered in noise and bright light. To commemorate that glorious night at precisely the stroke of midnight, the edifice of their world will erupt with enough sound and fury to shake the earth. All I ask is that you join me at the gates to watch as the past is erased, the pathway cleared so that together we can start toward a new day.

But, you ask, who am I to make such promises? A fair question but hardly necessary as you know me already. To know me any more you need only look to a mirror. Truth be told, this wasn't even my idea, was it? If you think back, you'll remember that night, whispering in your lover's arms. I became a part of your plan just as you have now become part of mine. Give me the line of the queen and I'll give you your secret dream.

On the twelfth stroke of the fifth day of the eleventh month, I hope we shall all meet again. Until then, I bid you goodnight.

Vandaag is 'n mooie dag.

Avatars voor vandaag.

V-day

Seg, heftruck, wat vind je eigenlijk van de these dat de relatie tussen V en Evey eigenlijk overeenkomt met de relatie tussen Suttler en de Engelse bevolking.

V sluit Evey op en foltert haar met als eindresultaat dat ze zich van haar angst ontdoet en zo vrij wordt. Maar doet Suttler niet hetzelfde? Namelijk de hele bevolking terroriseren zodat ook zij vrij kunnen worden en rebelleren.

There's no flesh or blood within this cloak to kill. There's only an idea. Ideas are bulletproof.

Hetzelfde middel impliceert niet hetzelfde doel. Je zou de relatie tussen Sutler en de Engelse bevolking zo kunnen opvatten, hetzelfde zou daaruit kunnen volgen, maar de aanpak van V is duidelijk gericht naar bevrijding terwijl de aanpak van Sutler gericht is op overheersing. V wilt bevrijden van angst, Sutler wilt overheersen door angst bezit te laten nemen van de Engelse bevolking. V wilt de realiteit tonen, terwijl Sutler een (pervers) sprookje schrijft.

Oké, dus vandaag is het 404 jaar geleden dat een handvol katholieken een mislukte poging deed om het Britse parlement op te blazen.

Joepie.

De aanpak van V lijkt mij meer gericht op opportunisme dan op bevrijding.

In 1996, U.S. President Bill Clinton was re-elected, defeating Republican challenger Bob Dole.

In 2002, Republicans seized control of the U.S. Senate and retained their hold on the House, giving President George W. Bush a historic victory in mid-term elections that traditionally go against the incumbent president.

In 2003, fearing a regional military imbalance, the United States supplied Thailand with air-to-air missiles.

In 2004, Saskatchewan became the seventh Canadian province to allow same-sex couples to marry.

In 2006, former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, 69, faced death by hanging after his conviction in Baghdad in a yearlong trial for the 1982 slaughter of 148 Shiite boys and men in the village of Dujail.

In 2008, the day after Barack Obama was elected U.S. president, he was alerted by Russian President Dmitry Medvedev that short-range missiles would be deployed near Poland that could reach NATO countries if the United States installs a missile defense system in Europe.
