Having worked 38 years in the Federal government, the last 25 of which were in high level jobs in the DC headquarters of three agencies (two of which are often the target of this conspiratorial nonsense), made me realize the impossibility of successfully pulling off some grand conspiratorial scheme (which would involve a large number of people across multiple agencies) and keeping it secret for years. It's damn near impossible to get any two federal agencies to work meaningfully together to accomplish even the most mundane tasks and it would be even more difficult to keep everybody quiet/cooperative about something deeply malignant/illegal.
Conspiracy theories are for those who cannot handle the complex and often arbitrary nature of real life. It helps them think they understand something that they're unequipped intellectually or emotionally to actually understand. Conspiracy theories are chewing gum for their deranged minds.

It's a daily routine for the Prince of the Power of the Air.
Puppets for the devil have no idea that what they are doing is wrong. It's a spiritual blindness that's take over once the Holy Spirit inside them dies. The 'zombie apocalypse'.
Like the third Reich, and the pending 4th.

Then again, you think the Christian Bible is a conspiracy in itself.

You'd see two prophets of God knock the world powers on their butts, prior to a rapture.
That hasn't happened yet.

Well, in a sense. Parts of it construct a sceneario that gives the priesthood tremendous temporal authority. Something like 'what you bind on Earth will be bound in Heaven, and what you loose on Earth will be loosed in heaven.' If I recall right, not pausing to look it up.... Mind, conspiracy happens when bad faith actors consciously run a con or whatever. Someone who believes and means well is not a conspirator, they are just a believer, like an honest Marxist, or an honest Republican.

OK, let's clear a thing up. A 'conspiracy theory' and a 'conspiracy' are two different things. A conspiracy theory is basically the belief that someone is conning you. A conspiracy is an actual con.
People are seen to believe in lots of conspiracy theories that are damned unlikely. For example, people believe that the buildings of the 1893 Columbian Exposition were actually ancient buildings of the Tartarian Empire, and historians and architects are conspiring to cover this up. This is an actual conspiracy theory, it exists. It helps a lot to have a conspiracy mindset as I described above to believe a thing like this.
Now, if an author and a publisher get together to sell a totally made-up history book of the Tartarian Empire, without either of them believing a word of it, they are in a conspiracy.

OK, so not in the near future, but eventually?

Yes. Not all true believers get raptured, though. The sky will roll up like a scroll.
It's a created universe, manifest not only by the living word of God, but also by some kind of meta-mechanical substrate. 'Projectors' as seen and described by Enoch. Consistent with modern quantum physics, in theory, involving other dimensions of the known universe.
It's like a complex 'computer simulation', although it is the only reality we know.
