"Conspiracy Theorists"

Blogger George Washington cleared the air on "Conspiracy Theories" in 2015.  In 1967 the CIA invented and promoted the use of the label "Conspiracy Theorist" to discredit anyone attacking the "Official Narrative."

In fact, as George points out, conspiracies are VERY common, and the essence of many kinds of criminal behavior, such as "Price Fixing" (which is one of endless kinds of conspiracies).

Secrets are in fact well kept in certain situations, where you have people who are ideological, highly professional, and have a lot of money on the line.  Many secrets now known were kept for decades.

Conspiracy is just one kind of causality, and just like any kind of theory needs to be tested by facts, not blanket dismissal.
