No it was not
The term was created and in common use long before the CIA existed
It is used as an accurate descriotion of loopy ideas with no evidence advanced by losers who want attention
This sounds accurate enough for me
The term "conspiracy theorist" was popularized by Karl Popper, although it entered everyday language in the United States after 1964, following the Warren Commission's findings on the Kennedy assassination . There is a claim that the CIA created such terms to discredit people who doubted the government's official reports after JFK's assassination
