[OccupyComms] [#globalNOISE] Fwd: 5th Nov white symbol suggestion

[Mark Barrett]

Cheers Orsan

Hopefully the message will reach the Anon networks so they can encourage
the white symbol to take root globally as a symbol of our desire for peace
and love to be embodied everywhere and in all systems of governance. And as
a warning for those in power to correct themselves wherever they can before
it's too late. And may Allaah forgive  for our mistakes and rightly guide
us all
