It could be true, and still propaganda, or false and propaganda? If true, pretty interesting, but presumably we might want input on the general feasibility of such an engine from a few rocket scientists.

The goal of propaganda isn't to persuade people, but to consume the enemy's resources, bog them down, and confuse them - to immobilize them. You might notice a lot of immobilization in our society today. How about a discussion of climate change? Privacy? Vaccines? What, impossible to discuss? How can that be? Cui bono? - that's the clarifying, penetrating question; the assault on propaganda.
