Editing Conspiracy (section)

=== Hub-and-spoke model ===
Smaller conspiracies, or [[spokes]], are understood as interconnected components of a larger overarching agenda, or [[hub]]. The hub is often represented by entities such as the [[Illuminati]], the [[Bilderberg Group]], or other [[secret societies]], while the spokes include specific events like the [[Watergate scandal]], [[Project MKUltra]], or alleged [[UFO conspiracy theories]]. Investigators use this framework to connect actions by [[corporations]] and [[governments]], such as the concealment of smoking risks by [[Big Tobacco]], to broader systemic agendas involving [[knowledge suppression]] and [[power consolidation]].
