IIRC, the expression “conspiracy theory” is itself a CIA creation, post-JFK assassination. Oh wait, scratch that, I’ll need to verify with Snopes /s
There are people here on FR who compared me to AQ for questioning the Sandy Hoax official narrative. Gatekeepers everywhere, lol. They can go shove the Washington monument up their @#%$&
That's my recall about the timing and usage of the stupid phrase "conspiracy theory".
George Bush, CIA Director, became president.
Bill Barr, CIA recruit, became his AG.
