Apparently this was an open secret at the time. European ambassadors to the Court of St James joked that Lord Cecil was extremely good at ‘discovering his own plots’.

Father John Gerard, a Jesuit priest writing at the time had this to say:

‘…when we examine into the details supplied to us as to the progress of the affair, we find that much of what the conspirators are said to have done is well-nigh incredible, while it is utterly impossible that if they really acted in the manner described, the public authorities should not have had full knowledge of their proceedings.’

This is an excellent, free book on the subject written a 19th century historian who rejected the official narrative:

Great retelling and re-sleuthing of a story that has fascinated me since November 5, 1993. That was the day I arrived in London on the first of what would be many trips to England in the years that followed. I fought jet lag as long as I could and retired early that evening. I had never heard of Guy Fawkes or Bonfire night. That soon changed.

From a sound sleep I thought the Battle of Britain had resumed at around midnight. Ever since then I have been fascinated with the story of Mr. Fawkes. It had never occurred to me, until now, that it could have been a false flag event, a Reichstag moment. But times have changed, and so has my sensibility for what governments and those in power are capable of. My rebooted intuition tells my your Mr. Fawkes was likely innocent. There are many such stories in history, many coming to “light” in our day.

This is a great and welcome post, thanks. After tying this to the books and film "V For Vendetta" I left it at that. Of course this is all tied to the many kleptocrats who went before. Henry VIII was one of the most storied of them - until now, that is.

I'm praying there won't be a dirty bomb in eastern Ukraine (Russian territory) killing a bunch of Ukranians (Ethnic Russians) before the midterm US elections (or ever).

hmmm... two things:

Passports weren't needed until after world war I

If you carry on like this, you'll discover the Nag Hamadi texts and the snake in the garden of Eden was actually Jesus trying to get Adam and Eve to eat the fruit of Knowledge and save them from ignorance.

Just for information, whilst Mr Icke may have re-familarised the public with Problem>Reaction>Solution, he was not the inventor of this very real manipulative tactic used by Governments globally to great effect. That honour goes to Hegel and the "Hegelian Dialectic", which Mr Icke always somehow forgets to mention.

Great (hi)story-telling!

I'd like to add an example from here, where the plot was known as such immediately after its succesful execution:

Gustav Eriksson, king Vasa I, faced an uprising and a dangerous one too as several regions teetered on the brink of joining in all while the perfidious Danes watched on ready to pounce and (in their eyes) oust the usurper Vasa (it all goes back to the founding of Kalmarunionen).

So needing to buy time to finish negotiations with the Hanseatic League for mercenary aid (the soldiery was made up out of the people which is a problem when the people are in revolt) Vasa ordered letters of support and loyalty to himself written, signed and sealed as if done by the regional leaders of those regions considering rebellion. These missives were then circulated via the clergy of said regions, giving the people the impression that they alone of the regions were dissatisified and outnumbered.

The actual rebellion was decisively crushed, so harshly that resentment to the name Vasa still lingers in the region in question: the leaders' entire bloodlines were exterminated with no cosideration for culpability, sex or age.

Not a bad achievement for an age where messages travelled at the speed of horse.

Hey Naked Emperor, hope you are well. Is that actually you I keep seeing on Zero Hedge comments or is it someone else?

Just curious.

It has always struck me as being very odd that the only cultural holiday in the UK that is unique to those isles is celebrating the death of a "terrorist".

I lived in the Middle East and the number of people I met who told me tales of being contacted by British Intelligence to become an "informant" is legion. Essentially, they seem to select for people who can speak fluent English and Arabic. Fortunately, people in the Middle East are very savvy and tell them to do one because they don't want to become the next patsy.

The Eternal Anglo meme is real.

Great article and this is.... hahaha... genius my friend! ---> "If the plot hadn’t been discovered in time, I’m sure Guy Fawkes’ passport would have remained intact after the explosion, allowing the authorities to identify him anyway."

“Percy and Catesby were killed by the same musket ball and the soldier who fired it retired soon afterwards on a large pension.”

OMG, there was a magic musket ball in the Gunpowder Plot?

In many years time we will look back upon this era and think upon our slavish devotion to so-called science in the same way as we look back in disdain at the way that they dignified religion so much so that it was of primary importance in many every day tasks

The moral of the story? Maybe NOW is the time to come together and clean house between the two major reliogions of our day....those who believe in God and those who worship the almighty covid (will there ever come a time that the people cease suffering at the hands of the elites?).
