On November 5th, 1605, Robert Catesby and a small group of conspirators, among them Guy Fawkes, obtained many barrels of gunpowder and stored them in a basement under the House of Lords with the intent of blowing up the King and the assembled Lords.
Unfortunately they failed, but their attempt can be an inspiration to all of us who love Liberty.
On this, the 400th anniversary of that heroic attempt, and on every day, do what you can to screw the state.
Guy Fawkes Day!

I recommend a book on the topic by Adam Zamoyski "Holy Madness".

Tim McVeigh was probably more of an anti-statist than Fawkes. Did you find the OKC bombing inspirational?

Would that our conspiracy here ends up being as inspirational!
