Well as a matter of fact we do know that the ship was stopped and now isn't going to leave Cairo apparently until further notice. Whatever is on it belongs to the SCA. No, we don't know if they stopped a climate attack with chemical weapons yet.

All that matters is it was stopped and by who for what reason.
But you don't know if anything was really stopped. What makes the person in that video trustworthy?
Of course you are free to believe whatever and whoever you want. I'm just pointing out things that make red flags pop up, for me, about the narrative in that video.
Also, questioning this guy's sincerity isn't defending Gates.
Suez Canal Authority (SCA) is a state-owned authority which owns, operates and maintains the Suez Canal. It was set up by the Egyptian government to replace the Suez Canal Company in the 1950s which resulted in the Suez Crisis.

In my business I accuse the EPA of using a "wiggling goalpost". We get the data showing low numbers and they dramatic lower the standards and let the news say there are more pollution alerts than ever before(a lie that will costs us our field of Environmentalism I keep telling them). They have to justify their position so they end up moving the goal posts for real. Ask our farmers.

Is it legal or normal to confiscate an entire container ship because it was in an accident, even if the accident proved extremely costly and negligence could possibly be involved?
I mean, if someone crashes their car into a house, as sometimes happens, the homeowner doesn’t get to keep the car toward damages. The matter goes to insurance companies and law enforcement to sort it out. There could be a lawsuit, but that would be done through a court. There would be a certain due process to determine if it was intentional, negligence, a medical emergency, mechanical failure, or what.
The seizing of the ship toward damages seems rather arbitrary and based on questionable authority.
Perhaps that is just an excuse.
Now if the ship did have something illegal or dangerous on board that might indeed result in it being seized.
But why keep that secret and make an excuse? They could at least say that the cargo doesn’t match the manifest and that legalities are being examined.
It seem like everything we think might be happening is either not really happening or has to be kept hush hush.
If there are some shocking revelations or events on the horizon, and people have to be prepared, wouldn’t it be prudent to give the non-anons a few hints to get them thinking rather than eventually just blindsiding them?
Or are all the ugly details for whatever finally happens going to be kept secret and the public given only the sketchiest explanation?

The United States is not interested in escalation, but reserves the right to respond to Russia’s countermeasures, a US Department of State spokesperson told TASS on Friday.
Our recent actions were proportionate and appropriate to Russia's harmful activities. Today's announcement by the Russian government was escalatory and regrettable," the spokesperson said. "It is not in our interest to get into an escalatory cycle, but we reserve the right to respond to any Russian retaliation against the United States."
From Michigan to California, and Las Vegas to rural Washington State, dozens of recently elected local officials have promoted elements of the outlandish Internet conspiracy theory that views former President Donald Trump as a messianic figure battling a cadre of deep-state operatives, Democratic politicians and Hollywood celebrities who molest and murder children.
In December, an NPR/Ipsos poll estimated that 1 in 3 Americans believed in some of the key tenets of the extremist ideology; another survey, by the conservative American Enterprise Institute, found 29% of Republicans agreed that Trump “has been secretly fighting a group of child sex traffickers that include prominent Democrats and Hollywood elites.”
On Facebook alone, QAnon groups amassed millions of members before they were shut down, according to an internal company audit in August. At least two dozen Republican candidates who embraced the conspiracy ran for congressional seats in 2020.
Adherents now hold local elected offices across the U.S.–from mayors to city-council members to school-board trustees–with the power to shape policies that directly affect the lives of millions of Americans from positions that offer a measure of credibility to delusional beliefs. In some places, like Grand Blanc, the election of QAnon believers to local office has met little organized resistance. In others, it’s prompted street protests, frantic PTA meetings, tearful city-council Zoom calls, and hundreds of angry emails and petitions.
