Here's the speech made by "V" when he took over the airwaves in the movie...an introduction to a revolution if you will:

Allow me first to apologize for this interruption. I do, like many of you, appreciate the comforts of every day routine- the security of the familiar, thetranquility of repetition. I enjoy them as much as any bloke. But in the spirit of commemoration, thereby those important events of the past usually associatedwith someone's death or the end of some awful bloody struggle, a celebration of a nice holiday, I thought we could mark this November the 5th, a day thatis 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 tospeak. 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 usedin lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. Andthe truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you hadthe freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting yoursubmission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but againtruth 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 yourpanic you turned to the now high chancellor, Adam Sutler. He promised you order, he promised you peace, and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedientconsent. Last night I sought to end that silence. Last night I destroyed the Old Bailey, to remind this country of what it has forgotten. More than fourhundred years ago a great citizen wished to embed the fifth of November forever in our memory. His hope was to remind the world that fairness, justice, andfreedom 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 suggestyou allow the fifth of November 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 standbeside me one year from tonight, outside the gates of Parliament, and together we shall give them a fifth of November that shall never, ever be forgot.

That's OK Dave. It's the kind of post I wouldn't mind reading twice.

It's past 5:30 pm here and today's "money bomb" is nearing the $4 million mark. We may not hit $10 million, but we already smashed Mitt'srecord of $3.1 million in one day.

The quarterly total was at $2.6 million when I went to bed last night. It's about $6.4 million right now.

I have to say something this has bothered me since i read this. Idon't hate much in life as i am a pretty easy going guy but when i read that they protest solders funeral that made me so mad if i hate any thing in thisworld it would be the westboro baptist church and members. I will tell you one thing for my kids sake i hope the end is nowhere near but if it happens to comethese would be the first people that i would go after maybe i shouldn't be writing this but i have to say something i am sure god will deal with them inhis own way because they sure as hell arnt going to Heaven so i hope he throws them to the devil for feed
