I don’t like conspiracy tbeories. I understand that the CIA developed the term to discount and discredit those that spoke against them. How can these be conspiracy theories when all of what I wrote was stated three years ago and has come true. The more interesting thing is why,dear sweet duggie do you continue to espouse lies that have been demonstrated to be true and act like you have some sense of truth. Liars gonna lie

Except that you keep espousing things as fact which are patently untrue. The earliest use of the term ‘conspiracy theory’ happened well before the CIA even existed.
Then “all of what I wrote was stated three years ago and has come true.” have only come true in the ferver swamps of the anti-vaxxer narrative. Anti-vaxxers are constantly distorting the record in order to ‘make believe’ their ‘facts’ are true.
Case in point. Your claim “that the CIA developed the term to discount and discredit those that spoke against them” is commonly made here on FR by those who believe the vaccines are part of a vast conspiracy. Unfortunately, that is easily disproved. (See below) This is an example of how those believing the anti-vaxxer narrative seize on things they read on the internet as ‘honest gospel truth’ without the slightest effort to validate those claims. Pretty much an example of ‘I won’t verify that because I want to believe it.’
“The Oxford English Dictionary defines conspiracy theory as “the theory that an event or phenomenon occurs as a result of a conspiracy between interested parties; spec. a belief that some covert but influential agency (typically political in motivation and oppressive in intent) is responsible for an unexplained event”. It cites a 1909 article in The American Historical Review as the earliest usage example, although it also appeared in print for several decades before.”
