Conspiracies and Conspiracy Theories

Conspiracies are different from conspiracy theories. It is undeniable that more or less secret agreements exist as part of politics. So, when we read the famous Wikileaks, we indeed find details and confirmations about a general picture that was already known.

Conspiracy theories, on the other hand, are the idea that events do not happen in the framework that everyone sees but for different causes (conspiracies) that no one sees. For example, Islamic terrorism would not occur for the cultural reasons everyone knows but would be organized by Americans, Zionists, Freemasons, and other such nonsense.

These are different things: in the first case, they are details, sometimes even important, that illustrate and explain the causes that everyone sees; in the second case, they are entirely obscure causes that, precisely because they are obscure, cannot be disproven.
