Of course there have been real conspiracies, the assassinations of Lincoln and Franz Ferdinand being obvious examples.
But, my theory is that more often, one or more faction in society, while not actually entering into a conspiracy before the fact, may have a vested interest in hiding information about the event in question, or in other matters that may be brought to light beause of the event, and therefore engage in coverups and misinformation to mask their peripheral involvement.
Examples:
JFK- Oswald was a lone nut, but he had been hanging around the fringes of the intelligence community for years and any number of people were afraid of what he might know. He had connections with both pro and anti-Castro organizations, and if he had gone to trial, might have given testimony that embarrassed powerful people. My conclusion is that Oswald acted alone, but that he himself may have been the victim of a conspiracy.
RFK- Strong evidence suggests that, while Sirhan acted alone, Kennedy's security staff panicked and bungled what should have been a manageable situation, and covered up some facts about the assassination in order to disguise that fact.
MLK- Well, in this case, I think the conspiracy theorists have a pretty strong case (The House Select Committee thought there was a conspiracy). At the very least, wealthy white supremacists funded Ray, possibly suspecting what he was planning, but not having specific knowledge.
Area 51- Have you noticed that the number of UFO sightings in the area dropped to near zero once the Air Force made knowledge of the Stealth Program public?
9/11- When the Intelligence community fucks up, it tries to cover it's ass. Does this surprise anyone?
OJ- The cops framed a guilty man.

I do not doubt that Sirhan was a lone shooter like "Oswald".
