Just because something is a conspiracy doesn't mean it is a lie.

Most conspiracy theories are lies/delusions, but look at the real projects like MKULTRA, they sound like insane conspiracy theories, but are real.

Theories can be proven to be true, or can be just a baseless claim.

Out of the many conspiracy theories, there are some that will be proven to be true.
