What does ''Conspiracy Theory'' mean?

Answer 1

An attempt to explain history in ways unburdened by proof, guided by your personal dislikes. Instead of Oswald killing JFK (the actual physical evidence is clear) or the 19 terrorists on the planes on 9/11 killing 3,000 people, you pick out a (sometimes imaginary!) group and pretend, on no evidence at all, that they did it. Just say it was done by a bunch of Illuminati Reptilian Skull and Bones Trilateral Rothchilds Bilderberger Zionist Nazi Mafia CIA NWO conspirators instead. You can sell books and DVDs claiming this sort of thing, to people who would never dream of buying a book that said that "Oswald did it". Pick out someone you don't like and use imagination in place of evidence, and you're a Conspiracy Theorist!

Answer 2

A conspiracy theory is an unproven idea or answer given to a situation or event that cannot be explained.
