The History and Psychological Use of the Label “Conspiracy Theorist”

[vancityeagle]

It was Edward Bernays the nephew of Sigmund Freud who coined the term "conspiracy theorist. It was coined to counter people who didn't believe the official narrative of the JFK assassination. Bernays worked his whole life in marketing for giant corporations and the US government.

An example of Bernays work for the tobacco industry goes like this, Americans in the 1940s looked down on woman who smoked, so Bernays road the coattails of the emerging woman's rights movement by naming cigarettes " freedom torches". So some woman started associating woman's rights and freedom to smoking ciggarettes . if its ok for men to smoke why not woman? Why should woman be looked down on for doing it?

Bernays was a genius who studied the human mind and group think. He knew how to manipulate society to take on almost any view they wouldn't have had before. He was a scum bag who sold his soul for the dollar.

its very interesting that you bring up the JFK assasination, which seems to be the first time "conspiracy theorists" emerged

the irony is that the cabal of elites who killed JFK are the very same people who created conspiracy theories in order to throw people off from the truth of the matter. These same people are responsible for the culture of conspiracy theories which were to follow

They wanted people to initially believe JFK was murdered by Communists and created these FAKE conspiracy theories in order to further their agenda. They used their asset Oswald who had fake identities and associations to further this scam.

The truth is that most conspiracy theories are elite concocted scams in order to further certain agendas.

The anti-communist agenda behind the fake JFK conspiracies did not come to fruition. The attempt to paint Oswald as a "communist agent" failed, it was exposed and in the end he was painted as a "lone gunman" which was also another lie.

I agree some conspiracy theories were propagated by the intelligence community. They work as the proverbial turd in the punchbowl. Throw out a thousand theories from the very beginning, and people will be chasing their tails for decades. You see that with every major conspiracy, even 9/11.
