Incompetent authorities love being branded a being part of a conspiracy because it immediately discredits their detractors and it gives them undue credit for something they could never do (like, pull off a conspiracy). As with any good conspiracy, it’s unprovable so they don’t even need to prove anything, just deny.
If you want to own goal yourself against incompetent authorities, just claim they are part of a conspiracy!
