I mean, there are a lot of things that fall under the "conspiracy theory" umbrella that just straight up happened. For example, the CIA experimenting on people with LSD trying for mind control (MKUltra), the FBI assassinating prominent figures on the left like Fred Hampton, Snowden, etc. And a host of pretty reasonable ones - like the fact that there were probably multiplier shooters in the JFK assassination (the Caro bio of LBJ does a pretty good job explaining how/why the warren report needed to be rushed and needed to be simple so that the US wouldn't go to war with cuba or the USSR), the FBI assassinating MLK.
