He doesn't say and not say the same thing, rather he sees a spectrum of different things occurring. Think of it like a stampede. A stampede is an organic thing. It can be induced, and it can also be manipulated. But the Stampede itself is a mass formation. It was used by Scar in the lion king to kill Mufasa.
As a result of such an event, who do you blame for Mufasa's death? Do you think it is victimless? Scar did not create the stampede, but the stampede was used and manipulated to kill his enemy.
I was biased in favor of Desmet until Malone sued Breggin, and that compelled me to read what Breggin had to say. It also caused me to look more closely at what Desmet said, since what Desmet says is a key issue in the Malone/Breggin feud.
When all is said and done, Breggin is 100% right about Desmet.
No, he is not. He simply sees things differently. If Breggin produces evidence of his claims against Malone in court, I’ll change my opinion. I don’t believe he has any evidence. He simply has a difference of opinion.

You're confusing mob activity with deliberate orchestration to induce fear and confusion in a population, which according to Desmet didn't happen.
Sorry, I'm not going to be in the Desmet fan club.
That is abundantly clear. You are biased.
