[OccupyComms] Fwd: [Squares] About white flag proposal

[Mark Barrett]

---------- Forwarded message ----------


Dear friends,****

This it to inform you that the White flag activity has been agreed in
Madrid.****

**1.       **We are going to meet today at 6 pm in Plaza Espanya to make
the flags, along with other stuff.****

**2.       **Regarding the activity the action goes as follow:****

The white flag might open the marches towards Sol, this was not fixed in
Wednesday  meetings, just recommended, because we had not time enough to
agree with each assembly in the marches ****

Then, after arriving to Sol square, after a minute of silence the white
flag will rise, as there will be not so many flags, people has been asked
to bring along white pieces of cloth.****

** **

And a text will be pronounced (here is the draft of it in English)****

** **

“In foreign countries people are kiling each other, in foreign countries
people are starving, and also foreigners influence heavily on us and on our
living conditions, but those are outside our space of consideration,
conversation, claims. For how long we can go on deceiving ourselves about
what we are?****


We want and we have to live together with all people in the world, we want
to work together, to cooperate with all, and decide all together in
consideration of the needs, interests and wishes of all and each of us. But
we are divided in armed units called states each one with its own lies. ****


United, what need we have for the 200 armed units in the world? Armies are
due to each other, or perhaps atom bombs or carriers are there to make lazy
or disobedient people work? And, without armies we will no longer need
inequality (hierarchy), this is to say injustice because it cannot be
without threat. Those are our two problems, division and inequality, they
feedback each other because they are actually the same problem.

****

The real problem to solve there is that each of us belong to one of those
armed units or states and we are not on our own as human, therefore to make
this simple proposal we need also first to rise the white flag.”****

** **

** **

Please, join and spread if you feel so.****

** **

Best wishes****

Manuel****
