只有更扯沒有最扯 2016腦洞最大的十個陰謀論

The Earth is flat, Trump is a Democrat … and other great conspiracy theories of 2016

英國脫歐,、美國大選,、政壇文藝界多位名流相繼去世，2016年注定是不平凡的一年,。而這些熱鬧喧囂似乎成了網(wǎng)友們最好的開腦洞素材：霉霉成了撒旦信徒,，古巴領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人卡斯特羅其實是加拿大總理特魯多的父親，希拉里開始組織兒童賣淫,，最扯的是特朗普竟然成了民主黨安插的間諜,。來來來，一起圍觀本年度腦洞最大的十大陰謀論吧,。以下說法,，純屬捏造，如果屬實,，小編也是呵呵了~

If 2016 was the year facts didn't matter, when Oxford Dictionaries declared we went "post-truth", it makes sense that conspiracy theories flourished. These are some of the most outlandish (and, we feel fairly confident in saying, all untrue).
2016年,，牛津字典宣布我們進入了"后真相"時代，如果今年是事實無關(guān)緊要的一年,，那么陰謀論如此猖獗也就順理成章了,。以下是一些最荒誕的陰謀論（我們非常確信地說,，這些都是假的）。

1. The Earth is flat
地球是平的

You might think that this one was put pretty conclusively to bed around 330BC, but it persists into 2016, championed by the radio-friendly rapper B.o.B.
你可能認(rèn)為這個說法大約在公元前330年非常令人信服,，但是在2016年仍有人堅信這一說法,，為首的就是電臺饒舌歌手B.o.B.。

The Atlanta musician resurrected the argument that the Earth may, in fact, be flat with a storm of tweets in January that seemed to lean heavily on the fact the horizon appears straight in photos ("where is the curve? please explain this").
今年1月份,，來自亞特蘭大的音樂人B.o.B.連發(fā)數(shù)條推特,，重新提出地球可能是平的，主要的論據(jù)就是照片中的地平線看起來是直的,。（"弧線在哪里,？請解釋一下"）。

Neil deGrasse Tyson's public putdown prompted B.o.B. to release a diss track, which was not very good, but did show how far the bar has fallen when it comes to prompting diss tracks these days.
奈爾•德葛拉司•泰森（天體物理學(xué)家）的公開羞辱促使B.o.B.發(fā)了一首辱罵的曲子,，雖然歌曲不怎么樣,，但卻說明為了宣傳這首歌能多沒有底限。

That was about the last time anyone spoke of B.o.B. in 2016.
這是2016年人們最后一次談?wù)摰紹.o.B.,。

2. Taylor Swift is a satanist
泰勒•斯威夫特是撒旦信徒

Taylor Swift's similarity to the daughter of Anton Lavey, the founder of the Church of Satan, delighted social media this year, coinciding as it did with the pop star's "downfall".
泰勒•斯威夫特和撒旦教會創(chuàng)始人安頓•拉維的女兒長相相似,，這成了今年社交媒體上的樂子，當(dāng)時正是泰勒"聲明狼藉"的時候,。

這里所謂的聲名狼藉是指霉霉今年因為幾場撕x人設(shè)徹底坍塌,。故事要從侃爺?shù)囊皇赘栝_始。今年2月侃爺發(fā)布了新歌《Famous》,，在這首歌中,，他未經(jīng)許可暴露了霉霉的肉體（后證實是人體蠟像），還用歌詞意淫辱罵霉霉：我覺得我跟霉霉還是有機會來一發(fā),，為什么,？因為是我讓那個x子出名的！（I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex, Why? I made that bitch famous.）

霉霉以該曲"極其歧視女性"為由掀起罵戰(zhàn),。并在2月的格萊美頒獎禮上含沙射影諷刺侃爺,。但侃爺堅稱事先就和霉霉溝通過。

金大姐也力挺丈夫,，表示此前侃爺曾致電霉霉征得同意,。自己始終不貼出通話視頻,，是因為霉霉發(fā)了律師函要求他們"不準(zhǔn)公開視頻,。"

7月17日,，金大姐終于在Snapchat上公布了傳說中的通話視頻。這段證據(jù)似乎證明,，事情并非霉霉所說的那樣,，其實她是知,！情,！的,！

無獨有偶，同一時間,，霉霉遭前男友卡受（Calvin Harris）推特轟炸斥其炒作,。據(jù)外媒報道,，卡受和蕾哈娜合作的新歌原本是霉霉寫給他的，這樣的行為是對霉霉的不尊重,，兩個人也因此選擇了分手,！

這些報道讓卡受怒了,，他連發(fā)數(shù)條推特否認(rèn)該說法,，并炮轟霉霉和媒體,。

幾場年度撕x讓吃瓜群眾們大呼過癮，霉霉的人設(shè)也因此徹底崩塌，她被許多網(wǎng)友稱為蛇蝎,，其推特也被蛇的表情符號占領(lǐng),。

不過，雖然霉霉和撒旦教會創(chuàng)始人之女驚人的相似,，但這顯然是落井下石的陰謀論。

3. Katy Perry is JonBenét Ramsey
水果姐是喬恩貝尼•拉姆齊

This theory dates back to 2014 but resurfaced this year alongside a CBS documentary about the girl's murder.
這個陰謀論起源于2014年,，但今年因為CBS關(guān)于一個女孩兒被謀殺的紀(jì)錄片而重新浮出水面,。

In a video posted to YouTube, a truther refers persistently to "the Katy Perry character" ("You can see that that's just an older JonBenét Ramsey, right? You can see that") and puts forward the physical similarity between the two sets of parents as evidence ("same people").
在一段油管視頻中,，一個"揭露真相的人"不斷提到"水果姐的特征"（"你看，她就是成人版的喬恩貝尼•拉姆齊,，對嗎,？你能看出來,。），還指出了兩人的父母之間的生理相似性作為她們是同一人的證據(jù),。

He then laboriously – and not entirely successfully, on a technical level - morphs Perry's face with Ramsey's.
他還煞費苦心的將拉姆齊的臉變形為水果姐的臉,，但從技術(shù)層面上看并沒有完全成功。

Never mind that Perry, born in 1984, would have been 12 when Ramsey died aged six in 1996. Other YouTubers taking up the theory have pointed out that, in photos, their eyebrows look similar.
更別提水果姐是1984年出生的,，而1996年拉姆齊于6歲去世的時候她應(yīng)該已經(jīng)12歲了,。其他認(rèn)同這個說法的油管用戶指出，在照片中的她們眉毛很相似,。

喬恩貝尼•拉姆齊是一名選美小皇后。1996年圣誕前夕,，年僅6歲的拉姆齊在家失蹤，不久之后被發(fā)現(xiàn)死在自家的地窖里,，被捆綁且有血跡。

4. Ted Cruz is the Zodiac killer
泰德•克魯茲是十二宮殺手

The theory – meme, joke, whatever – that the aspiring Republican presidential candidate was, in fact, the unknown killer operating in northern California in the late 1960s and early 1970s was inescapable on social media earlier this year, and eventually made its way into the real world.
有志成為共和黨總統(tǒng)候選人的泰德•克魯茲實際上是上世紀(jì)60年代末及70年代初在加利福尼亞北部行兇的一名神秘殺手（呵呵,，這就是個玩笑）,，今年年初,，社交媒體上遍布著這種說法,，并最終真的讓人相信了,。

In February a poll of 1,012 registered voters found 38% of Florida voters thought it was possible Cruz was the Zodiac killer.
今年2月,，一項對1012名登記選民進行的民意調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，38%的佛羅里達州選民認(rèn)為克魯茲可能是十二宮殺手。

"But not all of the evidence adds up," BuzzFeed noted astutely: Cruz was born in Canada in 1970. The earliest confirmed victims of the Zodiac killer were murdered in 1968.
BuzzFeed機智地發(fā)現(xiàn)："所有的證據(jù)湊在一起并不能導(dǎo)出這個結(jié)論,，克魯茲于1970年出生在加拿大,。而最早被確認(rèn)的十二宮殺手受害者是在1968年遇害的。

十二宮殺手是一名于60年代晚期在美國加州北部犯下多起兇案的連環(huán)殺人犯,。目前已知,，十二宮殺手于1968年12月至1969年10月期間在本尼西亞、瓦里荷,、伯耶薩湖和舊金山殺害五人,。目標(biāo)是介于16歲至29歲的四名男性和三名女性。此外也有一些其他的兇殺案被認(rèn)為可能是黃道帶殺手所為,，但并沒有決定性的證據(jù),。

5. Kylie Jenner is secretly fronting a pop band
凱莉•詹娜秘密擔(dān)任一支流行樂隊的主唱

The singer of the US pop trio Terror Jr is known only by the alias Lisa Terror, and hides her face behind her hair in promotional images. The only account the band follows on Twitter is that of Kylie Jenner: the teenage socialite/makeup mogul, a Kardashian by any other name.
凱莉•詹娜是美國三人流行組合Terror Jr的成員，她以別名麗莎•泰爾示人,。她還在宣傳造型中用頭發(fā)遮住臉,。Terror Jr在推特上唯一關(guān)注的賬號就是凱莉•詹娜：年紀(jì)輕輕的社交名媛，化妝達人,，卡戴珊家族的一員,。

In March, Jenner featured a song by Terror Jr in a promotional video for her lip glosses; that same day, Terror Jr launched its social media presences. (As far as conspiracy theories go, this one is admittedly low stakes.)
今年3月，詹娜出現(xiàn)在Terror Jr宣傳視頻的一首歌曲中,，為其唇膏做宣傳,。同一天，Terror Jr出現(xiàn)在社交媒體上,。（就陰謀論而言,，這算是低級別的。）

Jenner has denied being Lisa Terror on Snapchat, but then came the smoking gun: a Twitter user apparently found her listed as a performer on the track 3 Strikes by a music licensing organisation.
詹娜在Snapchat上否認(rèn)自己是麗莎•泰爾,，但隨后又出現(xiàn)了一個鐵證：一名推特用戶發(fā)現(xiàn)她被一家音樂專利授權(quán)機構(gòu)列為《3 Strikes》的表演者,。

The entry has since been amended, and when Teen Vogue put the theory to the band, it replied only with its trademark grape emoji. But let's be honest, it's not like a Kardashian to shy from the spotlight.
這一登記事后被人修改，當(dāng)《Teen Vogue》將這則陰謀論告訴Terror Jr樂隊時,，Terror Jr只回復(fù)了一個他們標(biāo)志性的葡萄表情符號,。不過，說實在的,，對聚光燈感到害羞可不是卡戴珊家族成員的風(fēng)格,。

6. Fidel Castro is Justin Trudeau's dad
菲德爾•卡斯特羅是賈斯汀•特魯多的爸爸

This theory emerged on Reddit after the Canadian prime minister raised eyebrows with his obituary for the "remarkable leader" on Twitter.
加拿大總理特魯多發(fā)推特悼念"卓越的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人"卡斯特羅，讓眾人驚訝,。隨后,，紅迪網(wǎng)上出現(xiàn)了這則陰謀論。

User George_Rockwell said Trudeau's parents had visited Cuba "on several occasions", pointing to a photograph of Margaret Trudeau "happily allowing the tyrant to hold her four-month-old baby" as evidence. (The baby was, in fact, Justin's late brother Michel. Details, details.)
紅迪網(wǎng)用戶喬治•羅克韋爾稱,，特魯多的父母已經(jīng)"數(shù)次"前往古巴,，他給出的證據(jù)是一張瑪格麗特•特魯多"開心地讓卡斯特羅抱著她四個月大的嬰兒"的照片,。（事實上，照片中的嬰兒是特魯多已故的弟弟米歇爾,。細(xì)節(jié),，注意細(xì)節(jié)。）

The Redditer also remarked on the "similar appearance" between the Canadian prime minister and the now-deceased Cuban leader, with a photograph morphing their two faces presented as "DAMNING EVIDENCE".
羅克韋爾還指出了特魯多和卡斯特羅的"相似外貌",，他將一張將兩人的臉拼貼在一起的照片稱為"鐵證",。

Trudeau subsequently defended his initial remarks on the "passing of a former head of state" but did not say whether or not he was his father.
隨后，特魯多為自己對"卡斯特羅的去世"的最初評論做了辯護,，但并沒有說明卡斯特羅是否是他的父親,。

特魯多與卡斯特羅的交情要從其父老特魯多說起。1976年,，時任加拿大總理的皮埃爾•特魯多出訪古巴,，成為首位到訪古巴的北約成員國領(lǐng)袖,，老特魯多與卡斯特羅因此建立交情,。2000年老特魯多離世時，卡斯特羅親臨加國出席喪禮,，而且擔(dān)任榮譽護柩者,。

卡斯特羅去世后，特魯多公開了一段真摯的悼詞,，但沒成想?yún)s因此引發(fā)了巨大爭議,，而他本人也被推上風(fēng)口浪尖，招來加拿大政客,、媒體及網(wǎng)友一片口誅筆伐,。

社交媒體也迅速發(fā)酵。推特話題#特魯多溢美之詞（#trudeaueulogies）也上了熱門,。反對者模仿特魯多句式,，惡搞各種"反派人物"，包括本•拉登,、羅伯斯庇爾以及虛擬人物伏地魔,、黑武士等。

7. Hillary Clinton is dead and was replaced by a surrogate
希拉里已經(jīng)去世,，取而代之的是其替身

The theory that Hillary Clinton had died was the logical extension of rumours of her ill health, and beloved by her detractors during the US election campaign.
希拉里去世的陰謀論其實是人們對其健康欠佳的"合理腦洞",，這一說法在美國大選期間深受其詆毀者的青睞。

YouTube user "Confederate Marshell" presented "100% PROOF" that Clinton had been dead since at least 11 September this year and replaced by CGI and multiple body doubles.
油管用戶"Confederate Marshell"拿出了"100%的證據(jù)"證明希拉里最晚已于今年9月11日去世,，取而代之的是電腦特效和多個替身,。

今年9月11日，希拉里在紀(jì)念9•11襲擊15周年的活動上提前離席,。據(jù)網(wǎng)上曝光的視頻顯示,，她在上車前突然失去"自我控制",，雙膝發(fā)軟，需要他人攙扶,。

希拉里隨后前往女兒家休整,，幾小時后，她又重新出現(xiàn)在公眾視野中,。盡管希拉里想顯示她并無大礙,，但關(guān)于她健康問題的質(zhì)疑卻愈演愈烈……

#HillarysBodyDouble希拉里替身成為了推特的熱門話題，網(wǎng)友們紛紛變成福爾摩斯,，給出了各種"證據(jù)"證明希拉里在使用替身,。

"關(guān)于希拉里用替身的傳聞有可能是真的！注意到希拉里在進去和出來時的鼻子和頭發(fā)發(fā)生了微妙的變化了嗎,？"

"希拉里的食指比無名指長,，所以這個女的絕對不是她！"

8. Hillary Clinton is running a child abuse ring from a pizza restaurant
希拉里在一家比薩餅店組織虐童團伙

You might want to be sitting down for this one: the Democratic presidential candidate and her campaign chief John Podesta are running a child sex ring from the backroom of the Comet Ping Pong restaurant in Washington.
你可能想聽聽這個陰謀論是什么回事兒：民主黨總統(tǒng)候選人與其競選負(fù)責(zé)人約翰•波德斯塔在華盛頓彗星乒乓餐廳的后院經(jīng)營著一個兒童賣淫組織,。

Given that the fact the restaurant has the same initials as "child pornography" is put forward as evidence by believers, the truly shocking detail of this completely baseless conspiracy theory is that even one person believed it.
他們給出的證據(jù)是這家餐廳的首字母與"兒童色情"的首字母相同,，這就是一個完全沒有根據(jù)的陰謀論，但是真正令人震驚的是居然有人信以為真,。

Yet in early December, a 28-year-old man was driven to "self-investigate" the reports, wielding an assault rifle at a employee and firing it inside the restaurant. After his arrest Edgar Welch said he "wanted to do some good and went about it the wrong way". "I regret how I handled the situation," he added.
12月初,，一名28歲的男子埃德加•韋爾奇忍不住"私自調(diào)查"起這個陰謀論，他對一名員工揮舞著突擊步槍,，并在店內(nèi)開火,。被捕后他稱"自己是好心辦壞事"。他還表示"對于自己的處理方式非常后悔" ,。

9. Climate change is a hoax engineered by China, or maybe the UN
氣候變化是中國或聯(lián)合國制造的騙局

The president-elect of the US seems to subscribe to this one.
美國侯任總統(tǒng)特朗普似乎贊同這一說法,。

In 2012 Donald Trump tweeted that global warming "was created by and for the Chinese in order to make US manufacturing non-competitive".
特朗普2012年發(fā)推特稱，全球變暖是"中國為了讓美國制造業(yè)變得沒有競爭力而捏造出來的,。"

He later said this was a "joke". If so, China didn't seem to think it very funny.
他后來表示,，那只是一個"玩笑"。如果是這樣的話,，中國似乎不認(rèn)為這很好笑,。

In Australia Senator Malcolm Roberts has suggested that climate change is in fact the work of the United Nations and called for an "Aus-exit".
澳大利亞參議員馬爾科姆•羅伯茨認(rèn)為，氣候變化實際上是聯(lián)合國制造出來的,，并呼吁"澳大利亞退出氣候合作",。

10. Donald Trump is a Democratic party plant
唐納德•特朗普是民主黨的間諜

This one, at least, we can safely disprove.
至少，我們可以放心的反駁這則陰謀論,。

說特朗普是民主黨派來的間諜是因為,，在初選期間特朗普常常語出驚人，給共和黨丟下一堆爛攤子,。另一個重要原因是特朗普曾經(jīng)是民主黨人士,。從2001年8月到2009年9月,，特朗普一直將自己注冊為民主黨。他自己也承認(rèn)這是事實,。
