The phrase "conspiracy theory" is, top-to-bottom, a word to get you to stop thinking. It's not a conspiracy theory, it's just the history of the phrase. It's the outgroup concept applied directly to the concept of new or disagreeing information. A pre-emptive propaganda strike on anyone who might ask questions.

Not only is it true of NSA, it's true of the Epstein case, of the P2 Masonic Lodge (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda_Due https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda_Due), the CIA distributing cocaine and others. There are lots of crazy theories that are BS, but the idea that powerful people might get together to try to get their way is not crazy at all.
