    Some RVers saw this large container ship turned sideways, causing a blockage, and made a good drawing of it about a month ago, as part of a monthly thing they do. I watched it at the time.
    The only place a perfect right angle ever CAN be, is the mind.

    I believe the shortages created by this accidental or engineered blockage will be used to justified building the gas and oil pipeline from Saudi Arabia and Quatar through Turkey and Syria. This would re-start the conflict in Syria to oust Bachar el Asad from power with more "popular" support in Western countries. At any rates something is fishy....

    My very first intuitive reaction to this news was "absolutely not an accident, not good". Most of the times that's the most
    accurate assessment because then you're not yet 'frontloaded' with distracting alternative narratives.

    I noticed there are also positive narratives about this alleged 'accident'. Like kids being freed from containers etc. etc.
    My next (now logical) reaction is that however wonderful that sounds it seems unlikely to me. Why? Because the consequences
    are that Europe will (economically) suffer badly from this if it's going to take weeks to solve the situation. If it's caused by white
    hats then they're putting Europe's economy at risk. Stopping that vessel somewhere else would easily be possible too.
    The only reasonable explanation for doing it this way would be that an upcoming crisis would attract more public attention.
    But I doubt if that's really the plan.

    It's more likely to boost economic failure and get the big reset of Mr Klaus Schwab going ...

    going a bit 'woo woo' here for fun if you guys dont mind..
    had a sort of download this morning where the shadow of the zeppelin across the crop circle from their album cover reminded me of the ship jammed across the canal. a 'lead' (as in the metal) zeppelin, the crop sign always made me think of ;lock and key'

    this could be solved in hours. but youll need a lot of ropes and cars /trucks... anything. Way back, 1 man could pull 100 tons ( 4 trucks) to get the harvest to the factorys. This ship is stuck in sand, if 1 man can pull out a 100.000 kg ship it ill take 2000 man to get this thing floating again… or 50 cars or trucks... but the trick is these cars have to get grip... so you gotta think slow. get all the jeeps and trucks you can find there and find the momentum. The dictionary sais pully block or lifting tackle... it only has to move 3 or 4 metres… this is peanuts, and could be instantly solved.

    this ship can move sideways, just turn on the right engines for a while and it will choose less friction ...water. it might take several hours but it will help to do the trick and i am 100 % sure. But to be honest; i hope it ill get stuck there for decades.

    The fact that it gets stuck there without help means it can be freed with ease with help.

    The sheer scale of this vessel is something to behold! Look at the size of that digger in comparison to the man standing next to it. It's almost as big as a house, and yet it looks like a toy Tonka truck. Then look at the size of its anchor compared to the digger and then the man. If you stood it upright it would be over 300ft taller than the Eiffel Tower, and it's laden with 20000 containers weighing approximately 200.000 metric tonnes. Oh and its jammed! Not a simple fix at all surely?

    The QResearch section of 8Kun is full of Evergreen references as Anon's dig further. Of course the danger with this sort of thing is that there's little or no direct links between many of these entities or events barring them sharing the name, which isn't that uncommon a word in the English language.

    So, with that caveat in mind, I'll try and give you a snapshot:

    Lot of mentions of the Evergreen truck in China that also caused a blockage: https://taiwanenglishnews.com/truck-...re-goes-viral/


    This happened at 9:55 - which led to connections to the 5:5 signal often found in Q drops.

    Evergreen Air - link to Chemtrails facility
    Will try embed:

    Not much! A quote from the BBC article:
    Although strong tides and winds complicated efforts to free the ship, the tugboats managed to move it 30 degrees in two directions.
    Footage posted on Twitter appeared to show the tugboats honking their horns to celebrate this small victory.
    BBC journalists can't do math. That's a typo... it was 3º, not 30.

    Looks like the sandstorm story is disintegrating:

    Quote Initial reports said the 400m-long (1,300ft), 200,000-tonne vessel ran aground due to high winds and a sandstorm that affected visibility.

    However, Mr Rabie said weather conditions were "not the main reasons" for the ship's grounding.

    "There may have been technical or human errors," he told reporters, without giving details. "All of these factors will become apparent in the investigation."
