NOTR - REMEMBER, REMEMBER THE FIFTH OF NOVEMBER - 11.5.21

Today's Show: REMEMBER, REMEMBER THE FIFTH OF NOVEMBER - 11.05.2021

Chris discusses the anniversary of the Gunpowder Plot of November 5, 1605, when a Spanish soldier named Guy Fawkes planted many barrels of gunpowder beneath the houses of Parliament with the intention of killing King James, and blowing the Protestant government of England sky high.  The plot was traced to the Jesuit Order at the time, who were said to be the chief conspirators in the attempt.  In fact, one of the rhymes in remembrance of the event begins with the words: “Remember, remember, the Fifth of November, the Gunpowder treason and plot.  I’ll tell you a reason why Jesuit treason should never be forgot …”. Of course, this is just one of the variations of the poem.  We consider the history of the Gunpowder Plot in relation to current events in the United States today.  Is there a connection?
