More on the conspiracy theme. What is a conspiracy? A secret plan by a group to do something unlawful or harmful. Watergate was a true conspiracy, the moon landing is considered a false one. There is even a conspiracy theory that the CIA invented the term "conspiracy theory".
Imposter stories seem to now be in the same bucket as conspiracy theories. I suggest that it has to do with the emergence of "clones" as imposters. So deep government cover-ups get involved. That aspect of conspiracy theories dates to 1967 when it is claimed that the CIA invented the term to disqualify those who questioned the official version of JFK's assassination.
But before imposters became part of conspiracies, what would be our most memorable and favourite imposter story?
Paul McCartney died in a car accident in 1966 and was replaced by William Shears Campbell (Billy Shears) - a lookalike. Billy had won a lookalike contest so was the candidate of choice. And then Ringo Starr made reference to him, so it got developed further. I found this at another website: FACT Paul McCartney did have a minor accident on 26th Dec 1965 when he fell off a moped, split his lip and chipped a tooth. Embarrassed by his ‘fat lip’ he began to grow a moustache.
Where imposter theories merge with conspiracies? These relate to "believers" claiming various celebrities are clones. Megan Fox and Britney Spears are two. The imposters are believed to be multiple government clones/synthetics. For Megan Fox, the "clones" are called ‘Fegans’. Every time she looks different – which would be explained by the process of ageing, or the fight against it – it’s a new clone. Eminem is believed to be one, as is Taylor Swift. She's considered to be a clone of renowned satanist Zeena LaVey.
On to Katy Perry. The theory goes that she used to be JonBenet Ramsey, the child pageant star who was killed in 1996. “Nobody died, nobody got hurt,” YouTuber Dave J exclaims in the video. “That sacrifice was in name only, and that was to get something, and that something was to become a star. JonBenet became Katy Perry, and that’s a fact.”
Lookalikes have been around for a long time as imposers. We can go to websites and hire them to market our product. I checked out the video of Albert Einstein on Lookalike-USA and the lookalike appeared in an ad for tires. Seems pathetic to me, but obviously gets attention.
"We have hundreds of lookalikes, doubles, impersonators, available nation-wide. Impersonators of Britney Spears, Austin Powers, George W Bush, Albert Einstein, Tom Cruise, Marilyn Monroe, Elvis, and over 900 more! "
From lookalike imposers to clones: How did this happen? Here's my theory: Big events are mysterious, and big people/celebrities are mysterious. Looking for a simple explanation of the mysterious? Blame something big - the government.
