conspiracy = "a theory of conspiracy"

[Jonathan Lighter]

Probably always around in limited, self-evident contexts like "But Prof.
McBoing-Boing's JFK conspiracy is even more devious than that."

This is different. It's a headline. From a reputable source
http://news.yahoo.com/why-boston-marathon-bombings-ignited-conspiracies-162648880.html
 :

"Why Boston Marathon Bombings Ignited Conspiracies"

But maybe it's just an idiot editor doing what they do. One can hope.
