So the CIA invented the term conspiracy theorist during the JFK event to castigate anyone who would question it. As some immediate nutball.

The term conspiracy theorist was developed by the CIA after the Kenney assassination. It was declassified. Back in the 70s, it got declassified to discredit people asking real questions.

And then, of course, that term is popularized during the JFK assassination because that very reason there was a lot of people that doubted the official story, and those people became conspiracy theorists.

That's a term the CIA on record came out in the Senate Intelligence Committee hearings in the late 70s, the Church Committee hearings. They couldn't cover up the fact the government killed Kennedy. So they said anytime we're challenged with real knowledge and facts, don't debate the people spewing facts. Just call it a conspiracy theory.
