# Dear @actifit-peter,
I try to see the facts, rather than the theories.

And one fact is that the term "Conspiracy theory" was coined by the CIA: [CIA Document 1035-960: Foundation of a Weaponized Term](https://projectunspeakable.com/conspiracy-theory-invention-of-cia/?fbclid=IwAR3leNs0IopbFABfx9Wa6uWDCbIHT1qimrEdPtAW1sAFn83ZMSuYqmNY30M)

> “Conspiracy theory” is a term that at once strikes fear and anxiety in the hearts of most every public figure, particularly journalists and academics. Since the 1960s the label has become a disciplinary device that has been overwhelmingly effective in defining certain events off limits to inquiry or debate. Especially in the United States raising legitimate questions about dubious official narratives destined to inform public opinion (and thereby public policy) is a major thought crime that must be cauterized from the public psyche at all costs.

It's pretty interesting, isn't it? ;)
