From Unknown News:
Bush steps on flag
“U.S. President George W. Bush (L) and first lady Laura Bush (2nd L) view a mural depicting the September 11, 2001 attacks near a carpet commemorating that date outside Ladder Company 10 firehouse, opposite the site of the World Trade Center in New York September 10, 2006. ”
Bush later steps on the flag carpet with Laura and are photographed. A fitting metaphor don’t you think?
Last night I lost it with a client. When he said he could talk late into the night because he called in sick for work tomorrow (ie he was too emotionally upset to work on 9/11) I knew in my gut this was not going to be a good call.
Racist Fuck is what I’m nicknaming him because as I start typing this story my anger returns. Before I begin I’d like to say that the majority of my clients are good people. Perverted yes, even freaky sometimes. I respect them as people and I hope my “PSO Confessions” portray that.
However RF is not one of those good clients. The call started off fine. He jumped from subject to subject which is typical of him. He wanted to lick my pussy, he wanted to hear about lesbians, he needed to be fucked with a strap on, etc.
Then out of nowhere he started complaining about “them ragheads”. On a side note, it took me several minutes to discern what he was saying. Sometimes it sounded like he was saying “towelheads” instead. Not that that’s any better, but I wanted to be sure of what he was saying before I responded.
I had to respond. I could have remained silent. Or I could have guided the conversation back to sexual matters. But RF just kept spouting hatred. When he said “nothing thrills me more than killing an Iraqi” I lost it. My fingers gripped the chair and I could feel my blood pressure rising.
While I was deciding how to respond RF kept going. He turned his hatred toward Iranians. Apparently in college he knew some Iranians he says hated the US and that is why he now hates all Iranians. It didn’t stop there. He kept complaining about Arabs and how they deserved “everything they were getting.”
During his hate speech I thought about dumping him as a client. RF rarely calls me and when he does he messes around with setting up a call. I’ll set up the billing and then call him back only to get a busy signal. He’ll call later and complain I never called him back. He does this repeatedly. On calls he interrupts, is rude and belittles me. I would not miss him if he never called me again.
He unintentionally gave me a perfect opening. I had been quiet for awhile while he ranted on. He finally stopped talking. When I said nothing he asked “You probably think I”m pretty conservative huh?”
“No, I think you’re a racist.” I didn’t scream. I didn’t curse him out which is what I really wanted to do. I focused on my breathing and kept my voice even.
RF was shocked. His voice sounded like I had sucker punched him. “Sweetie,” he quivered “I’m not a racist.” The “sweetie” bit annoyed me. I haven’t been a girl in many years and his patronizing tone and nickname only irritated me. But I wanted to address his racism instead.
I told him I believed he was racist and that if he used the term “raghead” with me again I was going to hang up immediately. RF justified his beliefs by saying he was raised in the south. WTF?! When that didn’t convince me he tried another tactic. In a whiny voice he told me he just couldn’t “differentiate between them people”. Arguing with him was almost too easy. In a forced calm voice I informed him that not being able to differentiate a race of people is a tenet of racism.
Losing another point he shifted tactics again. He started talking about the tragedy of 9/11. You can guess how different our opinions are on that subject. I don’t think killing innocent civilians in a country that the government admits had nothing to do with 9/11 is acceptable. He thinks Iraq needed “to be put in their place”.
Thankfully the call ended before my forced calm did. At the very end he asked “Am I ok with you now”. All his arguments only resulted in me disliking him more. I replied “as much as you’ll ever be” and hung up. Will he ever call me again? I hope not.
Yes 9/11 was a tragedy. But I do not believe the official version of September 11th. In my opinion there are too many inconsistencies, too many blatant lies, too many instances of people benefiting from 9/11, too many stories that defy logic and physics to make the official version believable. Will we ever know the truth? I hope so.
I encourage everyone to investigate 9/11 on their own. You don’t have to believe what I do. But it is my hope people decide for themselves instead of just swallowing the official story without question.
Below you’ll find links to sites questioning and investigating 9/11. There is so much out there but these links are good places to start.
