This text argues that Amelia Earhart did not die in a plane crash, nor did she assume the identity of Irene Bolam. Instead, the author proposes that Earhart faked her death and assumed the identity of her own sister, Muriel Earhart. The author claims that Amelia Earhart was part of a manufactured persona created by influential families and individuals, including George Putnam, to promote aviation and the airlines. The article dissects various aspects of Earhart’s life and career, including her alleged transatlantic flights and around-the-world journey, suggesting they were staged events. The author points to supposed inconsistencies in photographs and narratives, and draws connections between Earhart and various prominent families and historical events to support the theory of a deep-seated conspiracy. The author also interprets a song by Joni Mitchell as a coded confession about Earhart’s life being a “false alarm” and a “transition” from Amelia to Muriel. The text concludes by criticizing alternative theories, such as the Irene Bolam or Japanese capture narratives, as deliberate misdirection orchestrated by those involved in the original hoax.
