The first Rule any liar should know: you can fool one person for a lifetime, you can fool some people for some time, but you cannot fool everyone forever.
Or slightly rephrased: a secret shared by two alive men isn't a secret.
Or with smoke of quantum philosophy: even ability of black holes to destroy information is debated.
More seriously, the definition of a conspiracy theory demands circular reasoning and inability to falsify arguments. When any debunking attempt only strengthens the true believers, it's a conspiracy theory.
Most of the real secrets are shockingly mundane.
