What did Martin write on the document that surprised Ivanka?

This is a tragic incident in a small town in southern Louisiana.

Bayou Corne.

This is a small town in southern Louisiana.

On June 12, 2012, people in the town discovered a strange thing: the ground in the town often shook, and many bubbles with bad smells came out from the ground.

On August 3, the local government officially ordered people to evacuate the town immediately.

Subsequent investigations found that the drilling activities of the oil company Texas Brine caused the salt dome under the town to rupture.

Not long after people evacuated, a huge sewage pit appeared in the central area of ​​the town, and the pit was getting bigger and bigger, and soon turned 3,700 acres of land in the town into toxic land.

The residents of the town were very dissatisfied with the oil company.

At the same time, they were also dissatisfied with the government's failure to control the company.

What made them even more angry was that the town residents' journey to seek compensation was very difficult.

From the beginning of collecting evidence, they were obstructed, even violently obstructed.

The residents of the town wrote a letter of complaint, in which they expressed indignation: "The government is completely controlled by these huge companies, and they try every means to give these companies benefits, let them come to their own states, and open up various business channels for these companies."

"The government even pays them "incentive" benefits. These companies also bring some new jobs to people, so at that time some people did think that the companies were good."

"But when bad things happened, people found that the government and the companies had turned into another face - shirking the blame, making excuses, avoiding seeing, violently preventing the town residents from petitioning, etc. A series of ugly means were used Use it. "

"The problem lies with the company and the local state government. The state government neither provides any public services to people nor properly regulates these companies. So why should we pay taxes to such a government that does not perform its duties seriously? It is better to take back some taxes, since the government does nothing anyway."

"The residents of the town began a continuous petitioning journey. Although there were many obstacles, they still got a considerable number of samples and took many photos and short videos as evidence."

"Unfortunately, these evidences were lost after entering the FBI. There is no further news."

"How did you get these materials?" Ivanka was a little surprised.

Martin smiled and said, "It was provided by an important FBI official."

FBI?

Ivanka was a little dissatisfied.

As the President of the United States, her father does not seem to have as deep connections in the government as Martin. It is really a bit too miserable. No wonder the "leak gate" has not been solved until now.

Martin said: "'Oil plantations', in AmericaPollution and environmental damage are old problems. Not only this town, but many other places have been affected. This should be a breakthrough. Sometimes, bringing public opinion together is also a great force. "

(PS: American historians often compare petrochemical companies in the South to a new plantation system. This system has created an extremely small group of elite upper classes - plantation owners in the past, now businessmen in these big companies, a very large bottom class of workers, and an almost non-existent middle class.)

"Louisiana can actually be your father's base. It has the most rednecks in the United States." Martin said and took out another report.

He pointed to the data in the report and said: "Before the 1960s, there were large tracts of plantations here, and poor white people outside the plantation owners were completely ignored. By the end of the 1960s, many groups began to enter the middle class. Poor women, blacks, and immigrants kept complaining, and finally through the civil rights movement of the 1960s, they were finally brought into the middle class by the government in the North that occupied the moral high ground.

“But these people in Louisiana are unwilling to complain, unwilling to admit that they are "poor", so they never get attention.

“During last year's campaign, Hillary publicly claimed that half of your father's supporters were "a bunch of nasty people", and she was referring to this part of the rednecks - poor, poorly educated white group.

“Look at this data, Hillary's words actually played a role in promoting your father to become president.”

“This data shows that after Hillary said this, your father's public support in Texas and Louisiana soared. Because those "rednecks" think that Democratic candidates like Hillary are just "their presidents". The "they" here refers to blacks, women, and immigrants. So once Hillary takes office, she will help blacks, women, and immigrants, but not poor whites. "

"They don't really like your father, but they feel deeply that Hillary and the entire Democratic Party have abandoned them, so they hate Hillary and the Democratic Party even more. 0 "

"Although your father's scandals are enough to make a whole TV show: insulting women - publicly attacking former Miss Universe Alicia Machado; racial discrimination - when the notorious KKK leader David Duke announced his support for him, he failed to express his refusal to accept the support in time, etc. "

"Hey!" Ivanka showed dissatisfaction, "He is my father."

"Okay, ignore the specific examples. Let's continue talking about rednecks. "Martin smiled and shrugged.

"These 'rednecks' have different understandings of your father's actions."

"For example, in the first TV debate of the general election last year,Your father interrupted Hillary 29 times. To these rednecks, this is not a sign of lack of respect, but a sign of dominance.

"Your father's devaluation of black people, discrimination against women, and exclusion of immigrants make them feel that your father is one of their own, because these are also what they think."

"These "rednecks" are racists in our eyes, but they don't think so. Their understanding of racism is very simple. Racism is when people have resentment towards black people in their hearts, or when they call people "niggers" (the word starting with N), they don't do such things, so they don't think they are "racists."

"As for whether a person's 3.9 racial factors are related to whether he can find an apartment in Trump Towers everywhere, they don't care. They also feel that they don't need David Duke, so they think they are not racists."

"They don't understand racism in a structural way, but they are called racists everywhere, and they feel insulted for this. The key issue is that people see black people joining their ranks through government support. "

"Although your father did eventually say that he did not accept David Duke's support, the language he used made people feel that he was forced: 'I don't accept it, okay? ' For those who feel that black people and immigrants are their problems, people like your father are very attractive. "
