This video, posted by a blue tick QAnon promoter, falsely claims to show today's missile attack by the Houthis on the US-owned Gibraltar Eagle vessel off the coast of Yemen.

The video is from 2021, showing a container ship on fire off the coast of Sri Lanka.

With 'Trump and Epstein' & 'Epstein Island' trending on this platform, I want to draw attention to Brian Whitaker's recent New Lines Magazine article diagnosing the deep, dark ideological maladies and conspiratorial phantasmagoria of the American Right. MUST read.
