If you throw everything together it's uninformative.
1. Obviously, some things are successful "conspiracies" to continue nefarious activities despite what would be public aversion: An obvious example is the clergy sex abuse case.
2. Obviously, other supposed conspiracies are bullshit: Chupacabra, Moth-man, LGMs at Area 51.
3. Other things are a kind of readily identifiable, if you are historically literate, forms of opportunism: The rise of the security state and the neocon wars after 9/11, for example. 9/11 wasn't an "inside job" but it was cynically exploited about as far as possible. From Winston Churchill to Rahm Emanuel, politicians have known not to waste a good crisis. "Cui bono?" Yeah, the people who jumped on it and exploited.
