Conspiracy Theories refer to explanations of an event or situation that invokes a conspiracy by sinister and powerful actors, often political in motivation and usually by the government, organised crime groups or large corporations. Although the term 'conspiracy theory' is usually used as an insult, many conspiracies actually make more sense than the official explanations.
