88. Cantor Fitzgerald and nepal
A coupla years back, while standing in pokhara nepal, i was accosted
by 2 drunken nepali men. They wanted to shake my hand, which is,
frankly against hindu custom, and i offered the hindu standard bow
and hands pressed together. Then they started getting hostile and
saying things like "What, you think we're not good enough? White
mother fucker. Fuck you you rich tourists, you don't own us." This
i managed to get out of, by apologizing and smiling like an asshole,
so i would not get beaten up.

On the way back to the hotel, i could recall standing in mexico
city to find the mexican peso collapsing in 1994, and in korea
while its economy was crushed similarly years later... and back in
a bunker on the home front, Cantor fitz, was there firing the guns.
The financial voodoo wizards have been sending curses out from those
towers around the world destroying the econmic lives of 10's and
hundreds of millions of people.

And there i was, a white american representative of the white collar
elite, travelling in disguise in nepal, recognized by the angry poor
brown people who we've collectively fucked over. I'm lucky they
did not break my arms and throw me in the lake. They may not hate
us for our freedoms, or their poverty, but something is up, and
the karmic bill is coming due. Who's gonna pay it?

You are lucky not to have died that day, by some odd coincidence of
god, as am I... and some wankers who have never set foot in the WTC,
have hyjakked the event for some other wholly more insideous purpose.
Whilst people who actually remember the 70's syle interior of those
towers, changing elevators at the 75th, those people are the living
dead, and our voice must become stronger to shout down the hyjakkers
before they mass murder someone else.

Godspeed to you and your family. Thank you for telling your truth.
