===Walker's five kinds=== [[Jesse Walker]] (2013) has identified five kinds of conspiracy theories:<ref>[[Jesse Walker]], ''The United States of Paranoia: A Conspiracy Theory'' (2013) [https://www.amazon.com/dp/0062135554 excerpt and text search] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190512054322/https://www.amazon.com/United-States-Paranoia-Conspiracy-Theory/dp/0062135554 |date=12 May 2019 }}</ref> * The "Enemy Outside" refers to theories based on figures alleged to be scheming against a community from without. * The "Enemy Within" finds the conspirators lurking inside the nation, indistinguishable from ordinary citizens. * The "Enemy Above" involves powerful people manipulating events for their own gain. * The "Enemy Below" features the lower classes working to overturn the social order. * The "Benevolent Conspiracies" are angelic forces that work behind the scenes to improve the world and help people.
