Tell it to Julius Caesar. And Caligula. And Nero. Actually, conspiracies are pretty common. Successful conspiracies are much rarer. The folks who conspired against the Roman Emperors listed above didn't last long after their brief moments in the Sun. All these were small conspiracies by people very tightly bound to each other (Roman Senators in a faction, Praetorian Guard, etc) who were willing to die for their political side and to rid the world of the rule of a powerful man who could be gotten rid of only by death. Actually, this also applies to the small conspiracy of al Qaeda on 9/11, also carried out by men tightly bound to each other who were willing to die for their ideology. Now, how many people would have had to be in the know to pull off 9/11 as an inside job - and for it not to leak? Hundreds? Thousands? Real conspiracies of hundreds or thousands don't succeed and don't stay hidden.
