Doesn't have to be one you think is true or even possible. Could be niche or mainstream. Mine is probably Mike Tyson threw that Jake Paul fight. I heavily believe Tyson did everything he could and is just old. Not to mention he's fighting a roided up good athlete in his physical prime with a limited engagement strategy. I do like hearing people argue its all staged, understandable cope.

The secret service accidentally killed JFK after the magic bullet. It explains the unlikely 4 shots from Oswald. It explains why the kill shot acted differently than the magic bullet. It explains why there were reports of the smell of gun smoke on the ground.

But most importantly it explains how the conspiracy could actually be kept a secret. If a secret service gun delivered the killing shot and that became public knowledge, the secret service wouldn't exist today. It's a fuck up so collosal it actually has the potential to keep everyone's mouths shut. It would have been an even greater embarrassment on the world stage at the absolute peak of tension in the cold war.

I could see a bunch of government men in shady rooms agreeing to keep the secret, the president was already shot. He probably would have died already from his wounds. Oswald was technically correct when he called himself a Patsy.

for some reason people pretend like it's impossible to keep a big secret under wraps...

the nazi's kept their death camps secret for years...

thousands of people across the world were/are complicit in covering up a pedophile/rape pipeline that encompasses pretty much the entire US/Israel/Western "elite", from government officials, various media-oligarchs, actors, business...kept that underwraps for decades...

when you control all the media outlets you can control everything anyone ever sees/hears

The unfortunate paradox of using examples of secrets is that by definition that secrecy failed. A completely successful conspiracy never even becomes a theory.
