Russian collusion and rumors of a pee pee video are conspiracy theory and the MSM and DNCFED have been selling it for 3 years now.
A “conspiracy theory” is a moniker devised at the C_A to provide to government operatives, the media and Leftist adherents from among the public to put down critics of clandestine, Deep State activities.
After the Deep State’s assassination of JFK, the C_A saw the Warren Commission’s “single-bullet theory” was facing ever-increasing scrutiny and counter-evidence. It was feared a ground-swell of support for the evidence that suggested Oswald was not the lone gunman but part of a conspiracy could end in rioting, insurrection and possibly even government overthrow.
In 1967, a memo came out from the C_A with the idea to brand critics with the conspiracy theory label to give those in support of the official. government. narrative. a figurative cudgel to “go after” their opponents, painting the critics as stark-crazy, raving lunatics.
It’s been very effective.
This go-to mechanism has played a significant role in dumbing down America. From that “fork in the road” where this government-sanctioned derisive moniker came into use, less and less has there been confident reliance among the public to place proper reliance on dispositive evidence and reasoning to solve crimes, particularly those initiated by government and Deep State operatives.
