Original Note:
The Santa Monica Observer (smobserved.com) is a partisan publication known for publishing false information and baseless claims. The Observer story itself calls the claims a "theory, as related to me by a source" based on long-circulating rumors. https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2021-08-09/local-fake-news-hyperpartisan https://www.lenfestinstitute.org/local-journalism/independent-study-of-california-news-sources-finds-dozens-of-partisan-websites-posing-as-local-newspapers/ https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/santa-monica-observer/
