I don’t know if Sibel Edmonds is a nut job, disinformation specialist or what.

It’s a valid observation, but I caution you that we have become conditioned to look for bizarre developments. A major requirement in every fiction novel and television show is the final plot point. This is where everything the viewer has been led to expect is suddenly reversed. The bad guy turns out to be the good guy. The little old lady who has been so helpful is the killer maniac, etc.
On TV this is story telling evolution driven by the need to keep viewers interested so they see the final commercials.
Earlier audiences were much more forgiving and Greek plays were so impossibly complicated that in the end they’d winch out a god who sat on a machine (hoist.) He’d wave his scepter and unsort the plot lines for everybody. (You marry him. You run off with the goat, etc.) It was used so frequently that today it derisively called deus ex machina. (From the god machine.)
