陰謀論者”這一個流行術語,是源於中央情報局旨在阻止批評思想家提問甘乃迺被刺殺事件的問題而製造出來的。
在一份名為“沃倫報告反批評”的備忘錄中,中央情報局著手開始將“陰謀論者”這字詞作為一件武器,用來對付任何質疑政府版本故事的人。
The term "conspiracy theorist" was a term made popular by the CIA to stop critical thinkers from asking questions about the J.F. Kennedy Assassination.
In a memo called "countering criticism of the Warren Report," the CIA set out to make "conspiracy theorist" a weapon to be used against anyone who questioned the government story.

The True Origin Of The 'Tin Foil Hat' And Why It's The Stupidest Thing To Wear If You're Paranoid About The Government
Jun 12, 2013
The recent revelations that the NSA has been collecting the detailed phone records of Americans since 2001 has a lot of citizens saying that claims of the NSA operating a vast domestic dragnet have been vindicated.
Others think the news has led the "tin foil hat" types to come out in spades.
Saying someone is "wearing a tin foil hat" or "is a tin foil hat" means that they have paranoia or a belief in conspiracy theories, especially involving government surveillance or paranormal beings.
Originally, the term referred to the practice of wearing headgear consisting of metal foil to block mind-reading.
Julian Huxley, brother of "Brave New World" author Aldous Huxley, coined the concept in his 1927 work "The Tissue-Culture King":
Well, we had discovered that metal was relatively impervious to the telepathic effect, and had prepared for ourselves a sort of tin pulpit, behind which we could stand while conducting experiments. This, combined with caps of metal foil, enormously reduced the effects on ourselves.
Unfortunately for contemporary tin foil hat wearers, a 2005 study by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology found that the metal hats actually amplify certain radio frequencies instead of blocking them.
From the study (emphasis ours):
It has long been suspected that the government has been using satellites to read and control the minds of certain citizens. The use of aluminum helmets has been a common guerrilla tactic against the government's invasive tactics.
Surprisingly, these helmets can in fact helpthe government spy on citizens by amplifying certain key frequency ranges reserved for government use.
The findings led the authors to "speculate that the government may in fact have started the helmet craze for this reason."
Now that's a tin foil hat conspiracy theory!
