Why would an evil global cabal, who controls everything, bother to "stage" events? Surely they would have the means and the motivation to initiate those attacks for real? By the way, my question is rhetorical. Please don't bother trying to "red pill" me.

Most conspiracies tend to fall apart on the 'why', it's technically possible a group of people could stage conspiracies of that scope, though as a species we're pretty bad at it, but in most cases there's simply no rational reason to do so. The conspiracy theories seem to either come back to people staging something as a pretext for something they could just do anyway, or their motivation being 'dunno lol'.

I suppose being technically possible is a good start, but most conspiracy theories fail to even meet that requirement lol. Staging a massacre or crisis makes no sense when you consider the number of psychopaths who would gladly carry it out for fun.
