Anyone that is flip flopping their opinion is controlled to some degree. Whether it is intentional (planned and 'in-the-know' with the enemy), or not (IE the people are emotionally unstable, and do not know how to create psychological permanence within themselves. IE, too malleable).

Either can be said of guys like this, Simon (what's-his-name), and Alex Jones. All three examples are changing their view of the world, the plan, or what have you. There is no permanence, which means that there is something about them you shouldn't trust.

And it can be either innocent due to incompetence, or not due to malfeasance.
