Conspiracy Theory: The beginning and how it's used against you..

A conspiracy has been around since the days of the Roman Empire or before. We two or more men wearing Toga's met in back allies to plan a murder, a conspiracy is born.
It stayed that way for decades until it evolved and took on another meaning.... With help..
In the 1960 sentiment towards the government was taking. More serious turn, a distrustful one.

Now I am planning on making a series of posts, explaining and showing the progression..
So let's just start at the beginning .
In November 1962, an unusual event took place..A President of the United States was murdered on live TV (well not exactly but most remember it that way).

President John F Kennedy was shot between 1-5 times while riding in his motorcade...
Within hours a man accused (not charged) of killing the president. Within 24 hours the accused gunman himself was dead...and this case was just starting to blow up in the press..

There were stories of more than one shooter, shooters on top of buildings, on grassy knolls...in fact witnesses were reporting shooters from everywhere.
Now the Dallas Police, FBI, Secret Service, Texas Rangers etc... Things were fast becoming a nightmare .. Now reports of more interesting nature were coming forward, and of course these took more time to investigate... For example

This picture came forward... This was reported to be a CIA agent / Russian spy in Mexico City using Oswalds credentials... Things were really shaping up for a real conspiracy , more the modern term..

Add In the wife did it, the driver did it, on and on..
However we know have the warren commission investigating the case... And as we all know they had a long Gunman solution .

So In 1967 the CIA started a project "project unspeakable".
During this project, the CIA along with contacts with media, started using the term "conspiracy Theorist" along with the more far fetched notions.. Soon and very soon, they "CT" tag on someone or something soon meant , crackpot, disterbed, crazy, nuts etc... And this stigma is still used today . It has been a very effective tool in keeping anyone presenting ideas that went against the "officaial explanation"

In my next installment we will talk about a few more cases and how the CT crowd has lead to its on Genre, alt news and many other great things..and how it's different than fake news of today... And that styigma they working to get started.

But before we leave, allow me to share My personal favorite, on that still stands today .

Now when Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested, he repeated the claim " I'm a patsy". ... Now during the interview he was asked serveral times to go over the days events... He claimed he was "out front" when the shooting took place

It was shortly after till things started making the rounds, but ty that time he was dead... Soo

But the interesting thing came about, when they got statements from everyone else.... They identified everyone who was outside... Except one man

And the one man who claimed he was out front was dead... A Lee Harvey Oswold ...
