Enacting Deception: Actual

This is a series of intel about the specific methods of enacting deception; how to lie and deceive for strategic applications as per operatives in the field.

Lying is easy but being convincing of the deception is less so. It’s keeping it stable and getting away with it over time that often proves to be most difficult.

Since telling a lie is essentially telling a fictional story, you must use your imagination to bring that story together with the elements that make up a story.

That takes creativity which requires for more cognitive effort than recalling a memory (truth).

Once a deception is enacted (fictional story is told), then it becomes real to the person it’s being told to.

At least that’s the objective of deception, for your target to believe your fictional story as a non-fictional account of events. If successful, it becomes canon.
