QAnon Claims Stuck Suez Canal Ship Used by Hillary Clinton to Traffic Children
Did US Navy SEALs Rescue Trafficked Children from Ever Given Ship?
A website with a history of publishing dubious content advanced a conspiracy theory about the formerly stuck Suez Canal ship.
Claim: Over a thousand trafficked children and dead bodies were rescued by U.S. Navy SEALs out of shipping containers on Evergreen's Ever Given cargo ship after it became stuck in the Suez Canal.
FALSE!!! FAKE NEWS!!!
In early April 2021, a seemingly endless number of social media users copied and pasted a purported breaking news story about the ship that was famously stuck for days in the Suez Canal. Most of the posts began with the same sentence: “Over a thousand trafficked children and dead bodies have been rescued out of shipping containers in the Suez Canal by US Navy Seals.” The story referenced the Evergreen cargo ship Ever Given, which became stuck in the Suez Canal in March and caused a major maritime traffic jam that took days to clear after the ship was freed.
The source of the text appeared to be Before It’s News, a dubious website that has consistently published content not rooted in facts. For example, the unreliable website once falsely claimed Pope Francis had been found guilty of child trafficking and murder.
Regarding the Ever Given ship and the purported U.S. Navy SEALs rescue, the full story on Before It’s News bore the headline: “Trafficked Children, Bodies, Weapons Found on Evergreen Ship Blocking Suez Canal.” In addition to being posted on Facebook, the misleading content was also shared on TikTok.
