They know, implicitly, that they are going to get away with doing nothing.
I’d like to think I’m wrong, but, then again, it’s also nice to have a Conspiracy Theory I can call my own.

I do not see how that theory requires any conspiracy. It requires only common interests – it doesn’t require planning in secret, or anything like that.
It has the weaknesses of being vague and difficult to test – but I don’t think it qualifies as a ‘Conspiracy Theory’

It's basically advertising and quackery, with an emphasis on upping the quackery quotient on an issue by issue basis.
