Is 'conspiracy' now used as shorthand to mean "silly theory only nuts could take seriously"?
Are there any examples of institutional conspiracy that it's respectable to take seriously? Can anyone give an example where governments or major institutions, like the CIA, or MI5, have conspired to subvert the law, and their conspiracy has become widely known (don't cite factors within government, like Watergate, but governments entire in themselves).
If we can't cite such examples is this because large government institutions never conspire?
