I have a litmus test for conspiracy theories that proved reliable over time:
Does whatever the illuminati/deep state/lizard people are up to preserve the status quo?
If not, it's likely bullshit. If they have enough power to keep everything a secret, they would rather keep things the way they are.
Of course things can be bullshit even if they pass this test.
And here's the kicker: a huge part of society likes the status quo. Think whatever cartoon villain stuff oil companies did over the past decades. Most people don't care.
