The twitter posts says ".... was started by the CIA..."
Let me rephrase it for you as a layman. "... was brought into popular use.." or "...was activated as a propaganda tool to discredit others and obfuscate the truth"

Nobody is claiming the CIA actually "created" the word. Yourself and your fact checker are hilariously lacking something upstairs.

Here you go, this is the reason people (rightly) claim the CIA thinktanks began using this term as a propaganda tool:
Title: COUNTERING CRITICISM OF THE WARREN REPORT

“Conspiracy theory’ is a term that 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 as 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… CIA Document 1035-960 played a definitive role in making the ‘conspiracy theory’ term a weapon to be wielded against almost any individual or group calling the government’s increasingly clandestine programs and activities into question.”

Gibbaz,

So the phrase wasn't started by the FBI, as per your post.

Glad we cleared that up.
