We interrupt your regularly scheduled distraction

[Ayesha]

With a message from V.




Good evening, United States of America. Allow me first to apologize for this interruption. I do, like many of you, appreciate the comforts of every day routine- the security, the familiar, the tranquility, repetition. I enjoy them as much as any bloke. But in the spirit of commemoration, thereby those important events of the past usually associated with someone's death or the end of some awful bloody struggle, a celebration of a nice holiday, I thought we could mark this July the 4th, a day that is sadly no longer remembered, by taking some time out of our daily lives to sit down and have a little chat. There are of course those who do not want us to speak. I suspect even now, orders are being shouted into telephones, and men with guns will soon be on their way. Why? Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the annunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance, and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, think, and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillence coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you, and in your panic you turned to the now high chancellor, George W. Bush. He promised you order, he promised you peace, and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent. Now we must seek to end that silence. More than two hundred years ago a few brave men wished to embed the fourth of July forever in our memory. Their hope was to remind the world that fairness, justice, and freedom are more than words, they are perspectives. So if you've seen nothing, if the crimes of this government remain unknown to you then I would suggest you allow the fourth of July to pass unmarked. But if you see what I see, if you feel as I feel, and if you would seek as I seek, then I ask you to stand beside me, outside the gates of the White House, and together we shall give them a fourth of July that shall never, ever be forgot.

I love that scene in the movie. Maybe we can take over the airwaves and let you give this broadcast...

Remember, remember, the 7th of November, the Florida vote treason and plot
I see no reason why the Florida treason should ever be forgot...

7. Imagine 100,000 people converging on the Mall,

Some come from the subways, some come from cabs, some some from retal cars, and some from just come by foot. 100,000 citizens decked out in their finest black cloaks, black wide brimmed hats. That the President may look out the window of the Oval Office and see, 100,000 Guy Fox masks staring back at he.

And when all is said and done, when the Secret Service investigates the matter, tries to discover the identities of the masked protesters so that they may be "rendered", only one name surfaces. The name given by every man, woman, and child bound for the Nations capitol that day by plane, train, or automobile, every hotel and dinner reservation shall be the name of Edmund Dantes.
