Conspiracy theories are usually bogus theories dreamt up by wide-eyed madmen in order to explain the unexplainable, make possible the impossible and dupe the dupes.
The most widespread conspiracy theory - so far - of the early part of the 21-st century was the one concerning the existence or non-existence of WMD(Weapons of Mass Destruction) in Iraq and the dread intent of Iraq to use these weapons to launch a devastating attack on Israel , the UK and possibly Cyprus.
This theory was first floated in Washington by a group of cranks calling themselves neo-conservatives and quickly spread like a contagion throughout most of the UK and the US.
However , most other countries of the world were immune to this contagion and treated it with skepticism.
Driven on by belief in their theory the devotees of it in the UK and US went on to attack and occupy Iraq in an attempt to eradicate these WMD.
However these weapons turned out to be nothing more than a brain-fever which had no more credibility or basis in fact than a Donald Rumsfeld speech.

Concentration camps and Gulags were often in locations outside the motherland/fatherland as is the case with Guantanamo Bay which is in an occupied part of Cuba nominally leased from the Cuban government who refuse to accept the US presence there but are too weak to do anything about it.
