Muzzie or undercover guy starting out his “jacket” - he has to go around acting “really nutty” so he appears legit when he later tries to infiltrate some group.
Same thing McVeigh, the FBI/SPLC agent, also had to do early on for OkBomb, before it got away from them.
Like Fast & Furious.
McVeigh was incarcerated with Ramzi Yousef. Ramzi made frequent attempts to convert McVeigh to Islam.
McVeigh was executed on 6/11/2001. Precisely 3 months later in September, Ramzi’s cohorts struck NYC and DC.
