Original Note:
The term "conspiracy theory" was not invented by the CIA, but rather emerged in the late 1800s, gained traction in the 1950s, and became more commonly used after the JFK assassination. 1967s “Criticism of the Warren Report" used the term matter of factly and only once. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conspiracy_theory https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9902059/ https://theconversation.com/theres-a-conspiracy-theory-that-the-cia-invented-the-term-conspiracy-theory-heres-why-132117
