QAnon's Suez Canal Dick Ship Conspiracies Are Getting Wilder and Wilder

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

QAnon’s Suez Canal Dick Ship Conspiracies Are Getting Wilder and Wilder
The Ever Given cargo ship is blocking one of the world’s busiest trade routes, and conspiracy theorists have a lot of thoughts.

Within minutes of the Ever Given ship getting stuck in Egypt’s Suez Canal on Wednesday, an incident that’s 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 Clinton’s 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 ship’s call sign was “H3RC” which is close enough to Clinton’s 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 she's out there charting a dick-and-balls course with her ship. Yep. I'm starting to feel like QAnon is an experiment, trying to see what insanity people are willing to believe.

To paraphrase an old joke: What do you call a thousand Qanon idiots at the bottom of the ocean? A good start.

my husband and I enjoyed this. I'm wondering how John F. Kennedy Jr is involved. Maybe he's commanding the heroic Russian armada coming to do battle with our forces of evil. Go, Russia!

the shipping containers are full of white children from europe who were kidnapped and will be sold to elite democrats and hollywood stars for sex slaves until the children are killed in satanic rituals...

right?

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

Q baby... I could make millions writing this crap.

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.

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.
