Lone Gunmen of Star Trek

There are a lot of crazy conspiracy folks out there. I wonder where they are in the Star Trek universe. If there are episodes with Lone Gunmen equivalents, let me know.

Imagine Captain Pike runs into preppers or conspiracy folk. How would that go down?
 
Well, I mean there was a whole group of Starfleet conspiring to assassinate the UFP president in Undiscovered Country, including a certain Colonel West, who was a literal lone gunman.
Oh yeah! Then we also had Picard season 3.
 
Raffi with her conspiracy theory about romulans being behind the Mars attack

the trouble is we like our protagonists to be right, which means if they believe in some conspiracy that need to turn out right

It’s a shame the conspiracy aliens never returned, but I guess we saw the same principals in with the founders in ds9 and (check date)

Picard season 3
 
Of course they don't exist. Humanity 'has a more evolved sensibility' after all and 'only work to better themselves and the rest of humanity'. Can't really reconcile that with conspiracy theorists.

Unless of course when they are needed for the adventure of the week :)

I can see a Lone Gunmen like show spun off from a Section 31 show.

The alternative is the 70s approach.
 
Lower Decks has conspiracy theorists that question what “really” happened to Sisko after the Dominion War.

And if you think about it, unless the Prophets somehow made it explicit to the Bajorans through Orb visions, the only proof of Sisko ascending to be in the wormhole is Cassidy Yates’s word, and she’s a convicted criminal and a family member that people might either see as biased or untrustworthy.

The only objective evidence would lead people to believe that Sisko died in the Fire Caves fighting Gul Dukat, and his divinity would become a matter of faith.
 
I think it was called the wounded, o'Brien war buddy was convinced the cardies were doing something nasty. True to most conspiracies he was dead right but it was swept under the rug for political reasons.
