History Main / BenevolentConspiracy

* The Magi in ''Film/TheMummyTrilogy'', a secretive organization actively works to prevent explorers from unearthing Imhotep's tomb, [[IDidWhatIHadToDo including outright killing innocents]] in order to keep the secret.

* Morgan Everett tries to portray the Illuminati as this in ''VideoGame/DeusEx''. To be fair, they really come across as one when compared to the more immediate and malevolent conspiracy at hand, set in motion by their spin-off organization Majestic-12. ''VideoGame/DeusExHumanRevolution'', however, doesn't portray them quite as kindly.

* ''Franchise/IndianaJones'': The Brotherhood of the Cruciform Sword were/are a group sworn to keep the Holy Grail a secret and away from those who would misuse its gifts. They have little problem in trying to kill those who would seek the Grail as they are backed by divine will. Nor do they have a problem with dying themselves to keep it secret if they have to. (''Magazine/{{MAD}}'', of all things, pointed out in their satire how hypocritical it would be of an organization dedicated to protecting the memory of Jesus Christ to resort to methods He would clearly ''not'' approve of.) Indy's response that he just wants to find his father to Kazim's question below shows how benevolent they are, giving him info on how to find him.

* [[http://autumnbay.thecomicseries.com Autumn Bay]] has a conspiracy whose purpose is to track down and possibly eliminate esoteric threats (called "anomalies").

* The circle of senior teachers which run the combat prep- and university- academies in the world of ''RWBY'' have the best of intentions towards the public, concerning themselves as they do with preventing the creatures of Grimm from overrunning the last few bastions of industry on the planet. They go out of their way to share their knowledge of Grimm-hunting, encourage younger faculty to go on the occasional bounty-hunting mission to keep crime rates low, encourage teens and twenty-somethings to develop advanced techniques and meet their foreign counterparts, and throw themselves in harm's way to prevent civilian casualties. To drive the point home, they also [[spoiler: bodyguard the Maidens to prevent their magic from falling into the wrong hands]]. Befitting the trope, they also are opposed by a far more malevolent conspiracy. The fandom refers to them as the [[FanNickname Ozluminatti]].

* In [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Webcomic/Homestuck?from=Main.Homestuck Homestuck]], Skaia Net, the company that produces ''[[TheGamePlaysYou Sburb]]'' [[spoiler: on B1 Earth]], is [[AncientConspiracy old]], [[OrganizationWithUnlimitedFunding powerful]], and clearly well-intended. [[spoiler: Its replacement on [[AlternateUniverse B2 Earth]] is [[AlienInvasion significantly more dangerous]].]]

* In the fanfic, [[Fanfic/EquestriaAHistoryRevealed Equestria: A History Revealed]], the narrator's insane conspiracy ramblings aside, it is hinted that she discovers some inkling of truth behind the truth of the regime and alicornification in Chapters 11 and 12. However, the subtext behind the conspiracy clearly implies its purpose was for the greater good of Equestria, as it [[spoiler: prevented the complete collapse of the nation after the defeat of Discord, and restored stability to the nation by creating a central leadership figure for the ponies to believe in]].

They have little problem in trying to kill those who would seek the Grail as they are backed by divine will. Nor do they have a problem with dying themselves to keep it secret if they have to.

* The eponymous organization in ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'' qualifies, as AdultsAreUseless in this setting, and often evil. (Of course, the KND themselves edge close to the HeWhoHuntsMonsters line at times.)

* In ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'': In "Mystery Of The Urinal Deuce, [[spoiler: The Government didn't start 9/11, but they ''created'' the 9/11 conspiracy movement. They did it because they don't want to appear as a nation weak enough to let such an attack happen, the movement giving them an illusion of power to some]].

TheConspiracy that secretly rules the world and manipulates the lives of the common {{muggles}} is, for a change, a force for actually good rather than evil, though perhaps not LawfulGood, depending on [[TheEmpire who runs]] [[PeoplesRepublicOfTyranny the Government]]. Indeed, a Benevolent Conspiracy might actually be ''run'' by [[GovernmentConspiracy the Government]], in order to discreetly fight against evil, or at least to protect the interests of the people they lead. (Which is probably not to say "the current administration"; these kind of secret conspiracies are looking to a longer view). One such goal of this conspiracy might be to work against a more powerful enemy without provoking an all out fight against them, or to prevent the populace from breaking out in a counterproductive panic by [[TheMasquerade revealing things too them before they are ready.]]

* [[Franchise/StargateVerse Stargate Command]] and its [[{{Area51}} associated]] [[TheMenInBlack organizations]], which fought and won three separate interstellar wars in defense of Earth without any Earthling not cleared being any the wiser. They've been known to protect the secret by simply [[TeleportersAndTransporters beaming the evidence away]], or by buying off a news company with the promise of an exclusive when the program goes public. Not to mention their diversionary tactic of [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall backing a cheesy cable science fiction series about a secret government organization that roughly does exactly what Stargate Command does.]]

* ''Franchise/MenInBlack'': A secret agency on Earth, which started as a GovernmentConspiracy, covertly coordinates with alien governments to control alien immigration to and from Earth, as well as carefully controlling the importation of [[ImportedAlienPhlebotinum advanced alien technology]].

* ''Franchise/IndianaJones'': The Order of the Cruciform Sword were/are a group sworn to keep the Holy Grail a secret and away from those who would misuse its gifts. They have little problem in trying to kill those who would seek the Grail as they are backed by divine will.
