Yes Virginia, the CIA did actually do that, and PC is bad, Progressives find.

"In 1967, the CIA Created the Label "Conspiracy Theorists" ... to Attack Anyone Who Challenges the "Official" Narrative

Conspiracy Theorists USED TO Be Accepted As Normal

Democracy and free market capitalism were founded on conspiracy theories.

The Magna Carta, the Constitution and Declaration of Independence and other founding Western documents were based on conspiracy theories. Greek democracy and free market capitalism were also based on conspiracy theories.

But those were the bad old days …Things have now changed.

The CIA Coined the Term Conspiracy Theorist In 1967

That all changed in the 1960s.

Specifically, in April 1967, the CIA wrote a dispatch which coined the term “conspiracy theories” … and recommended methods for discrediting such theories. The dispatch was marked “psych” – short for “psychological operations” or disinformation – and “CS” for the CIA’s “Clandestine Services” unit.

The dispatch was produced in responses to a Freedom of Information Act request by the New York Times in 1976."

And I have been called a Conspiracy Theorist. All I have to say is that evidence is out there, some of it going back to the Civil War. If you look you will find it. As long as it hasn't been "Sent for digitization" and never returned, like you will find for a number of things, which has happened, and is still happening. What that means, is documents were sent to be scanned into a digital format, and vanished. If you look you will find their catalog numbers are still valid, but the actual documents are no longer available as they "Were sent out" and have never been returned.



"Progressives Suddenly Realize They’ve Created Frankenstein

Jonathan Chait suddenly realizes that what he calls “political correctness” — i.e., the radical Left’s need to demonize, denounce, ban, shut down, and exile anyone who offends them with a contrary thought, a.k.a., “rage-whiners” — is a threat to good progressives like himself:"

They suddenly find themselves on the receiving end of what that have been giving out, and they don't like it.
