A reader sends this from (always grain-of-salt-worthy) Debka:

“The Islamic regime decided to allocate national funds for establishing oil
refineries in Malaysia and Indonesia to enable its top officials to skim
millions of dollars off those budgets and funnel them into their personal
businesses and private bank accounts in the Far East. Like many a corrupt
regime, its leaders fondly believed the people knew nothing of their abuses.
The violent protests which the fuel rationing decree sparked across the
country told them the population had not been fooled.”
