Der Begriff \"Verschw\u00f6rungstheorie\" wurde 1964 von der CIA erfunden und in den \u00f6ffentlichen Diskurs eingebracht, um die vielen Skeptiker zu diskreditieren, die die Schlussfolgerung der Warren-Kommission anzweifelten, dass Pr\u00e4sident John F. Kennedy von einem einsamen Sch\u00fctzen namens Lee Harvey Oswald ermordet wurde, der selbst in Polizeigewahrsam ermordet wurde, bevor er befragt werden konnte. Die CIA nutzte ihre Freunde in den Medien, um eine Kampagne zu starten, die den Verdacht gegen den Bericht der Warren-Kommission zur Zielscheibe von Spott und Anfeindungen machte. Diese Kampagne war \"eine der erfolgreichsten Propaganda-Initiativen aller Zeiten\".<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
