Zalmon-Bozi 

A Bukharian Jewish expression used to refer to a person who plays reverse psychology or engages in psychological warfare.

Origins come from a famous Bukharian peasant called Zalmoni Sish Lela (Zalmon the six fingered one). He would con his fellow countrymen with riddles and deceitful games. The actual term 'Zalmon Bozi' means 'Zalmon Games'.

Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
