Bill Gates is an evil man. How many times must you be told? How much evidence do you need?

Good golly, that Wingdings NYC "conspiracy" thing is old school. It's been a while. Nice to see Webdings picking up the slack.

AHA! THE PLOT THICKENS!



Translated, it clearly means "OK Christians, drop down!"

...obviously, a reference to a church-related commando team of some sort.
