A conspiracy theory usually attributes the ultimate cause of an event or chain of events (usually
political,
social,
pop cultural or
historical events), or the concealment of such causes from
public knowledge, to a
secret, and often
deceptive plot by a
covert alliance of powerful or influential people or organizations. Many conspiracy theories imply that major events in history have been dominated by conspirators who manipulate political happenings from behind the scenes.
