What are some large/long-running conspiracies?
I have a theory that large-scale conspiracy theories are false because the bigger a conspiracy gets the faster it will fall apart. That the more people get involved the more likely it becomes that someone will screw up or have a fit of conscience and blow the lid off the whole thing.
So what are some good historical examples of large conspiracies, PROVEN, SINCE DISMANTLED, AND WIDELY ACCEPTED AS REAL? How much success was had as far as number of people involved or length of time keeping up the ruse before it fell apart?
The plan condor, an evil conspiracy scheme of repression and murder spanning several governments, two continents, thousands of people and costing the lives of tens if not hundreds of thousands of lives and lasting decades.

I lost most of my family to that conspiracy so I am not saying your thought has no validity, I am sure it becomes harder to keep it together but it is not impossible.
When I was growing up people used the same thought to say it could not be true.
Did you know your picture is Dr. Evil? Did you know live is Evil backwards?
Did you know doctor Evil looks like Harpocrates? Did you know OPRAH is HARPO backwards? Did you know Oprah Winfrey Network is OWN? Did you know OWN is NWO backwards? Did you know NWO stand for New World Order?? > A long long time conspiracy.. SHHH!!
The first one that came to my mind is.......911 was an inside job. Don't know if it's true or not but the conspiracy theories are surely out there!

Who is to blame for conspiracy theories? The ones that reports or exposes them or the ones that conceals activities that get discovered then gets leaked to those that reports or exposes them?
