“Widespread deployment of ‘conspiracy theory’ and ‘conspiracy theorist’ as terms of derision began in the 1960’s once again courtesy of the CIA when they were seeking to discredit those exposing the truth about the assassination of President Kennedy and Malcolm X. A CIA dispatch to media organizations in 1967 outlined ways to discredit people asking dangerous questions and included the use of the label ‘conspiracy theories.’” [David Icke, Everything You Wanted to Know But Were Never Told]
