I am curious as to other connections we could make re: deception, as your forum is titled.
I thought of one example today about how society controls our information: on the Top Ten Bestseller book list, there is a book by a radio talk show host (didn't get his name) called, "Ten Things You Cannot Say in America."
I think this would be very revealing information re: control of what information we Americans have access to! Anyone read the book or know more?
