Conspiracy theories are a way for people to create rationale when they experience cognitive dissonance. Almost all conspiracy theories can be disproved if you consider if they are: 1.) Reasonable given the circumstances. (i.e. is there a simpler way to achieve the same ends) 2.) Is the conspiracy theory possible when adjusted for behavioral biology, neuroscience, physics and mathematics. 3.) Is it possible that sufficiently advanced technology is involved but has not been made public. There are many conspiracy theories that can be simply explained by technology that is possible but has not been made public. For instance you can make people paranoid by repeatedly having people walk by them talking about what is going on in their home. The problem is the technology to view and listen into people's homes has been available since the 1970s and is available now for less than $5000. You can modify millimeter wave technology for this purpose today. If the above two conditions hold true, you need to seriously consider the idea that some of the things that sound like conspiracy theory might be factual. You can't label everything a conspiracy theory, some of it is just crazy people who need a reason for things they don't want to take the time out to find a rational explanation for.
