or other action taken by one side posing as members of the other side? Like if the CIA hacked into an American target and made it look like it was a hack by Russia or the North Koreans. How would the term apply to a stock market drop?

Its amazing how a blowhard like Jones can retain a wide-eyed audience. After he admitted in his child custody trial that his show is fake, and he is just a "performance artist". Glenn Beck was similar when he had his TV show. These are people that see a vacuum in the market, even if its on the extreme loony fringe. An audieance that WANTS to believe that there are much more nefarious explanations for their lot in life.
