Marcon, Starmer and Merz caught in ‘cocaine scandal’, French media debunks theories
Conspiracy theorist and conservative radio host Alex Jones on Sunday posted a video of French President Emmanuel Macron, UK PM Keir Starmer, and Germany's Friedrich Merz on a train, claiming that the three were trying to ‘hide a bag of cocaine’ when the cameras started shooting.
Jones claimed that three leaders were returning from Kyiv when Macros was seen pocketing a suspicious white powder, deemed as cocaine, while Merz hid a spoon.
As the video went viral on social media, French media issued a clarification. French newspaper Libération called the claims baseless, further stating that Macron was holding a handkerchief and that Merz had a drink stirrer, not drug paraphernalia. The media outlet called the cocaine speculations a part of a ‘conspiracy theory’.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
