Hmm, now where have I seen that pattern before?
Ah yes!
Well, with the exception of "American adversaries", we see that same pattern in:
1) False Advertising
2) The Media / Fake News
3) Lawyers who do not negotiate in Good Faith; those who use tricks to trick their opponents/counterparties into unnecessary contracts and contractual obligations;
4) Cults; when the leaders lie to the people.
5) Politics; when the leaders lie to the people, or otherwise engage in "Political Theatre" (note that this is not localized to one group or party)...
6) Religions; when people tell you that in order to have X in the future, you must do Y in the present...
7) Self-help Gurus: when people tell you that in order to have X in the future, you must do Y in the present... <g>
8) Your Parents; when they told you "you can be anything you want to be in life!" -- but then you grew up and discovered that this was not so! <g>
9) Repair People: When they tell you that the plumbing (or whatever) is fixed -- but it's actually not fixed!
10) Doctors / Medical Professionals -- when they've sold you expensive medicines which mask the symptoms of whatever you have, but do not cure it...
11) Comedians -- when they tell you a joke is funny, but it's not actually funny! <g> ("I resemble that remark!" <g>)
The list goes on and on...
Advice: Become a Farmer -- it's the only honest profession! <g>
(Also, a word to the wise -- a whole lot of correct information -- mixed with the smallest bit, the tiniest bit of misinformation -- is misinformation!!!!! <g>)
