November 5th

I've been wondering about the fact that people all across this nation attach some significance to the 5th of November. The far left have chosen that date to try and collapse our banking institutions. It's only 8:20 AM where I am, and banks don't open until around 9:00, so I don't know if they will succeed or not.

So I did an Internet search for significant events that happened on November 5th to try and see if there are any patterns. This is what I found:

Act of November 5th: The Act of 5th November of 1916 was a declaration of Emperors Wilhelm II of Germany and Franz Joseph of Austria. This act promised the creation of the Kingdom of Poland, envisioned by its authors as a puppet state allied to and controlled by the Central Powers. The origin of that document was the dire need to draft new recruits from German-occupied Poland for the war with Russia.

(So, basically this date was significant for fascists who needed more conscripts to fight a war against the evil capitalists.)

The Observance of 5th November Act 1605: The Observance of 5th November Act 1605 (3 Ja. I, c. 1)[1] also known as the "Thanksgiving Act" was an Act of the Parliament of England passed in 1606 in the aftermath of the Gunpowder Plot.

The Bill was drafted and introduced on 23 January 1605/06 by Edward Montagu. It called for a public, annual thanksgiving for the failure of the Plot.[2][3]

Forasmuch as almighty God hath in all ages showed his power and mercy in the miraculous and gracious deliverance of his church, and in the protection of religious kings and states, and that no nation of the earth hath been blessed with greater benefit than this kingdom now enjoyeth, having the same true and free profession of the gospel under our most gracious sovereign lord King James, the most great learned and religious king that ever reigned therein, enriched with a most helpful and plentiful progeny proceeding out of his royal loins promising continuance of this happiness and profession to all posterity: the which many malignant and devilish papists, Jesuits, and seminary priests much envying and fearing, conspired most horribly, when the king's most excellent majesty, the queen, the prince, and the lords spiritual and temporal, and commons, should have been assembled in the upper house of Parliament upon the fifth day of November in the year of our lord 1605 suddenly to have blown up the said house with gunpowder, an invention so inhuman, barbarous and cruel, as the like was never before heard of.[4]

(So, this would be important to people who want church and state to be united. I suppose that would include atheists, if you force people/government to believe in no God, or remove all references of God. It would also include Islam, which is a political/religious union.)

(See also: Gunpowder Plot: A conspiracy led by Robert Catesby to blow up the English Houses of Parliament is thwarted when Sir Thomas Knyvet, a justice of the peace, finds Guy Fawkes in a cellar below the House of Lords. - another anti-religion element.)

In the mid-1700s, the 5th of November was one of Boston’s most popular holidays. On that day, apprentices and young men paraded through town with giant effigies of the Devil, the Pope, and current political scapegoats, demanding coins from householders and passersby.

At nightfall, Boston’s North End and South End gangs met in the middle of town and brawled. The winners hauled away the other side’s paraphernalia and burned all the effigies in a festive bonfire. In 1764 the event became so violent that a young boy was killed, his head crushed by a wagon wheel.

In the decade that followed, the 5th of November processions became closely linked to the town’s protests against Parliamentary taxes. That political conflict led to the American Revolution. Ironically, the Revolutionary War ended up doing away with the 5th of November holiday in America.

(So, another one that demands tribute. I hope this movement in America doesn't take it to the streets, going house to house, demanding money. This sounds so much like the left. I'm going to protest taxes by making you pay me taxes.)

Apparently someone has been trying to make the 5th of November about shutting down banks since at least 2006 (see this site: http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/5th_of_November). I suppose it would be important to people who celebrate murder. From my understanding, they tried to blow up Parliament. I wonder if they'll take this to the next step and try to blow up Congress? It is, after all, the fault of Congress not the Banks. If Congress had left well enough alone, the banks that needed "bailing out" would have lost their shirts, been bought by someone else and life would have gone on.

I just wonder if these people have ever stopped to think about banks and credit unions? How do they think the banks keep their lights on and pay their bills? They don't hold every one's money in a safe location for free. They take that money and invest it in different ventures, hoping to make more off of it than they give in interest to their customers or for their services. They have to make enough money to pay their utilities, rent, and employees. If everyone decides to take their money out of the bank, it's not there. It's in investments. They keep a small amount in case a few people close out their accounts, but why do you think they give you a check? It gives them time to get the money.

This whole "Bank Transfer Day" is just another way to destroy our nation. Doesn't anyone remember the Great Depression? I don't normally like Wikipedia but here's a really good explanation of a run on a bank: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Bank_run

I guess only time will tell if they will do any damage to our financial system.
