I wouldn't be surprised if all those idiotic conspiracy theories that just can't die despite being neither logical nor blessed with even tiny amount of proof are peddled by CIA to obscure the real pedo rings and billionaire clubs and brand anyone trying to find out "tinhat" or something like that.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the term "conspiracy theory" popularized by the FBI in order to discredit legitimate investigation into the shady shit they (and other agencies) were doing?

Probably. Its also interesting that the term "conspiracy", just means that more than one person is involved in doing something illegal or malicious. That describes pretty much every crime lol.

No idea, but my surprise level would reach exactly zero.
