The FBI needs to be disbanded.

Its people and tactics are quite often nasty.

Years ago I read that the phrase “conspiracy theory” was invented by the CIA to discredit its critics.

That true?

Thanks.

Gee, I wish somehow there would be some kind of movement by all of those Honest, upstanding, God and America loving, constitution abiding patriots that Sean Hannity keeps swearing exist at the FBI.

The silence from the agency is deafening.

“Conspiracy theorists … feeding the American public misinformation” is a familiar attack line for anyone raising free-speech concerns over the FBI’s role in social media censorship.

True, and sometimes it’s accurate.

I read something along those lines, but it was a long time ago and I can’t recall which agency was the focus. Could be several of them. Whomever it was, they coordinated with the press (print and TV) and the Democrat party.

Who’s going to rein them in? Joe Biden? The Republican leadership? Our Judicial system? Don’t make me laugh! It’s so hopeless that it’s becoming comical in a dark humor way.

They opened their mouth then proceeded to insert every extremity in it then stuck their head in a warm dark moist place between convenient ear muffs.

Found this online:

The term “conspiracy theory” was not invented by Karl Popper, nor was it “enforced” by George Soros. Sir Karl Raimund Popper was born on 28 July 1902 and he died on 17 September 1994. His work The Open Society and Its Enemies, mentioned in Sputnik article, was published in 1945. The first mention of the term “conspiracy theory” can be found in 1863 New York Times, and it’s a response to a letter that dealt with the question of why England — whose newspapers and elites had criticised the United States over the institution of slavery in the 1850s — was now taking the side of the South in the Civil War (New York Times, January 4, 1863. Page 2.).

Interesitng though the FBI used for PR the phrase ‘conspiracy theory’ for exposing THEIR OWN EMAILS TO TWITTER. lol.

The phrase was used in the Warren Report but (see my post just above here) the phrase dates back to the mid 1800s.
