Here's the quote from the end, I kept it brief, because the point of the article wasn't to distinguish between conspiracy theory and fact; however I did give it a few paragraphs.
Though interestingly a criminal conspiracy is defined as: an incidence when two or more people agree to commit a crime at some point in the future, and require a high standard of evidence, are usually small in scale, and involve a single event or issue, directly linked to the criminal intent.
We can see the difference between conspiracy theory and conspiracy fact, by comparing rumour to court records. Indeed this tells us that no conspiracy theory has ever been proven right. However we can also witness how several theories have been retrofitted to past events.

That is actually false. Not to mention an absolute.
Rather than rehashing the many cases this has not been true. I'll link to some sources and completely avoid Alex Jones. He is definitely biased and has an agenda. Remember all it takes for an absolute to be proven false is when you find a single case where it was false.

Now for me to simply say you must believe me because these websites say it is so is an Appeal to Authority. Those are but stepping stones for you doing your own research.
You should not believe me because I say it, just like I will not believe you simply because you say it. Those are both appeals to authority. I have no authority over anyone but myself.
I guess Edward Snowden can come home then. Since he proved quite a few conspiracy theories when he blew the whistle. :) Yes the theories existed prior to him blowing the whistle.
So you are continuing and discussing your idea based around the hijacked misuse of the words?
If you are basing your argument on misuse of words and inaccurate things then perhaps you do believe there never had been a proven conspiracy theory. Religions like to misuse words and dwell in absolutes as well.
If you look at the definition of the word there have been MANY conspiracy theories that turned out to be true going way back in history.
I will agree that MOST conspiracy theories are not proven to be true.
I will not agree to the absolute of ALL or NEVER though (you used EVER). All it takes is one case where that is not true for the absolute to be dead where it was written or said. There are far more than one that have been proven.
