At the 'Freedom Association' in 1979, when I worked there, the
Research Chief had a poster on his Office wall:
It showed a caped Guy Fawkes with cherry-bomb, and carried the legend:
"Guy Fawkes: the only man to enter Parliament with honest intentions"
According to founder Brian Crozier's later-published autobiography
'Free Agent', the 'Freedom Association' was a joint MI6/CIA project...
Both organizations had and have _extensive_ experience in
overthrowing unloved governments... >:-}
