The QAnon conspiracies about #Evergreen have reached the point where they think the ship's captain looks suspiciously like Monica Lewinsky...
...of course the fact the woman in question isn't actually the ship's captain is only a trivial detail
QAnons Suez Canal Dick Ship Conspiracies Are Getting Wilder and Wilder
The Ever Given cargo ship is blocking one of the worlds busiest trade routes, and conspiracy theorists have a lot of thoughts.

Within minutes of the Ever Given ship getting stuck in Egypts Suez Canal on Wednesday, an incident thats created chaos in global supply chains, QAnon supporters were spreading wild conspiracies that the ship was operated by Hillary Clinton and carrying a cargo of child sex slaves.
The claims were based on the fact that the Taiwanese shipping company that operates the ship is called Evergreen, which was Clintons secret service name when she was first lady.
The baseless theory was given further credence in the minds of QAnon followers at least when it emerged that the ships call sign was H3RC which is close enough to Clintons own initials (HRC) for QAnon followers to make the link.
The theory quickly spread on Telegram and Gab, the platforms QAnon followers have fled to in the wake of a purge by mainstream social networks in recent months.
But the claims also made their way to Twitter and Facebook, where fact-checking group PolitiFact flagged and debunked them.

And Trump caused the ship to run aground to expose the pedophile ring!

How it started: the ship stuck in the Suez Canal is full of trafficked children.
How it ended: every cargo ship everywhere is full of trafficked children.

(35,356 posts)it's interfering with legitimate efforts to combat these things. It's getting harder to separate out genuine efforts in this space from these wild ass conspiracies.
