Conspiracy Theory
Cite: Merriam-Webster

A theory that explains an event or situation as the result of a secret plan by (usually) powerful people or groups.

Seems to me that CTer is a perfect fit

Specifically, CTer, here, means someone who believes that there was a successful conspiracy to murder President Kennedy.


In general, CTer means someone who believes in any large conspiracy that successfully kept a secret for a long time, however unlikely this would be. Examples are:

** A worldwide Jewish conspiracy to do evil things to non-Jewish races.

** illuminati

** Freemason?s

** Apollo Moon Landing Hoax

** UFO coverup


A sign of such a conspiracy theory is if the proponents do not provide a list of all the people involved because the list would be too large and make it too obvious that they believe in a large conspiracy.

The bottleneck here is CTer Burden of Proof issues v LNer Standard of Proof issues

And in the past you have claimed that CT'ers are enemies of democracy have you not?

Can we add this to the list of CT attributes?

See quite a few of you guys on now. What do you think......come on surely you can come up with some sort of concensus view. A short paragraph that defines a CT.

Now 10 that I recognise here. Surely a team that is comfortable with consistency and voicing opinion can come up with a reasonable definition.

Sorry to break rules of ?only LNs,? but surely a CT is one who proposes or adheres to any theory which suggests the involvement of others beside Oswald at any level. Such a definition can be arrived at by defining a LNer: one who proposes or adheres to any theory which posits Oswald to have been sole person involved.

Until CTer truth* shows up, we're stuck with CTroll Nation's Saint Oswald the Deranged as prime suspect.
