Now that InfoWars.com founder Alex's Jones' latest rumor about President Obama killing Justice Antonin Scalia is over and done with, it looks like we need yet another conspiracy theory to fill our down time. So what better than to resurface an oldie but goodie: that pop star Katy Perry is actually JonBenét Ramsey?
A YouTube user who goes by the name of Dave Johnson on the site posted a video in 2014 that declares he has discovered the "truth" about Perry, who rose to fame in 2008 with the hit single "I Kissed a Girl," all with the help of "the Internets" (direct quote) and what sort of resembles doppleganger facial recognition software.
The 7 minute-long video contests that the tragic, unsolved murder of Ramsey, a 6-year-old girl, was a de facto hoax - and that the apparent setup was a "sacrifice to get something, and that something was to get a star."
"JonBenét Ramsey became Katy Perry. It's a fact," Johnson states in the video, and then proceeds to lambast the Internet denizens for their complicity. "If you continue to lie, you are in fact a false witness to murder and death."
(Johnson also urges everyone who has ever said to another living human that JonBenet Ramsey was dead to set off and find those people and tell them that she is not dead. If you were alive in the '90s, this might be too much of a Sisyphean task to complete in one lifetime.)
"They're the same people as JonBenét's parents and they hoaxed the death of their daughter through strangulation," he says of Katy's parents, who he contends are John and Patsy Ramsey, but with a shaved head (the former) and some shed pounds (the latter). Consider that the actual Patsy Ramsey passed away June 24, 2006, after a drawn-out battle with ovarian cancer. Is that another dent in the conspiracy theorist's suppositions? With completely different facial structures, they really, really don't look anything alike.
Overall, the only shred of "evidence" that the person behind the camera has are that JonBenét and Perry look nominally similar - and "nominally" is an unnecessarily generous term, if the idea that two white females who were once the same age, have blue eyes and, once in a blue moon, have matching hair color, means that they even slightly resemble one another. Even the narrator's attempt to "blend" their faces together - all for the sake of eking out this resemblance he speaks of - utterly fails to make his argument even remotely feasible (as if it had a chance to begin with).
The fact that Perry was born in 1984 - six years prior to Ramsey - might also throw a whole wrench in the deal.
