If a conspiracy theory is a theory that explains an event or set of circumstances as the result of a secret plot by usually powerful conspirators, and a conspirator is a person who plans secretly with other people to do something bad, illegal, or
against someone’s wishes, then we can conclude the following:
-That the whistleblower, the police detective, and the public prosecutor are all, by definition, “conspiracy theorists,” because their jobs are to expose and stop “conspirators.”
- That the public figures, behind-the-scene puppet masters, politicians, and former reality TV show hosts who disseminate lies, disinformation, “alternative facts” and half-truths, are the very people who invented and perpetrate today’s application and usage of the phrases "conspiracy theory" and “conspiracy theorist,” and apply the terms to anyone and everyone they view as their nemesis or antagonist..
