Conspiracies are not the same as conspiracy theories. Believing in one would not be the same as believing in the other.

And yet, all conspiracies were, at one time, conspiracy theories.

AspieUtah, don't you do it! BlauSamstag just has underhanded motives to get you on psych drugs so you won't pass Obama's background check for having any mental illnesses and have to give up your rights as a proud gun owner. BlauSamstag, I've got your number.

Don't you have to have a conspiracy theory first before a conspiracy?

No. An actual conspiracy can be uncovered that was never previously theorized about.
'Conspiracy theory' seems to be used to describe a suspected conspiracy that has no evidence to make it plausible (yes, I know that's a value judgement).

I resist ALL unnecessary pharmaceutical drugs, especially sassafras.

con·spir·a·cy the·o·ry
noun
a belief that some covert but influential organization is responsible for a circumstance or event.
The person who came up with the conspiracy would first have to have the theory in their head (the belief that the theory was even possible - therefore a "conspiracy theorist") before the actual conspiracy could be formed. So we're going to have to agree to disagree I guess.

When people plan a conspiracy, their plan is not called a conspiracy theory. That term is reserved for people not actually involved in the conspiracy, as your definition shows.

And what makes you think that the people doing the conspiracy are actually thinking that they are doing a conspiracy and not just doing the conspiracy without thinking about it?

Conspiracy is a real thing. It just means two or more people working together toward a goal.
Talk of grand conspiracy, particularly grand conspiracies that require a large number of people to keep the same secrets, or which would require some members to be super-competent, can generally be rejected out of hand.
Take for example, moon landing deniers. The sheer number of people involved in the lunar missions - tens of thousands of people - and not a single one of them spills the beans?
