Anyone who knows their Middle Eastern history will know Sykes-Picot the agreement between the British and French government from midway through the first world war.
Most of the current mess goes back to that agreement.
Also, the British then ruled Mandatory Palestine for another 25 or so years after the end of WW1.
So yeah, aside from everything else, there’s still lingering resentment for the British.
This is worse. They took someone’s actual research on how harmful this shit is, and how it doesn’t work. And then said the opposite to a group of jackasses, some of whom have openly talked about how they want to enshrine Christianity as the national religion.
And doing some more math at it, there are 1762 weekdays between those dates. Regulators probably rounded up to 1800 to account for the occasional weekend operation. Then the math comes out to three dumps per day, one for each work shift.
Regulators most likely found evidence of regular dumping, and then did the math backwards to the statue of limitations.
There are 2466 days between 1 April 2018 and 31 December 2024. That works out to dumping a hair more than twice a day.
A slight correction about the Klan, while it was likely true of the first version of the Klan, the second was a multilevel marketing scam by racists to fleece other racists out of their money.
The robes were branded clothing, and the rings, and the white only vacation spots, and so much more.
The story of it all is somewhat funny, and very depressing. Mostly because it’s always the exact same story. A racist leader scamming their followers out of money while encouraging more racism.
Behind the Bastards did a multiple part episode on the Klan a while back, it’s worth a listen.
