The article says: "[in Egypt], “the deep state is not official institutions rebelling,” he said, but rather “shadowy networks within those institutions, and within business, who are conspiring together and forming parallel state institutions.”"

I don't understand how the article can make this statement. The statement clearly outlines a Conspiracy Theory. As we all know, Conspiracy Theories are false - a priori. How can it be legitimate to concoct Conspiracy Theories for other nations, when, simultaneously, the very notion of (a national scale) conspiracy is seen as being equally as impossible as perpetual motors or faster-than-light travel? Double standards? What's going on?
