Here I will start a list that I will continue to add to of techniques that are repeated that will tip you off that something is up.
1. Strikingly ironic or comically "coincidental" titles or names.
Deceivers often are amused with their cleverness and enjoy hiding things in plain site. One example might be "the learned Dr. Plot" who very well could be "controlled opposition" at the beginning of the magical and timely appearance of Dinosaur bones at the exact time they were needed for social engineering purposes. Even if you haven't thought of looking into all the inconsistencies regarding the existence of the delightful, beloved, and sometime terrifying "dinosauria", some of whose skeletons would fail under it's weight, this name is an example of what the intentional technique would look like.
2. "Buttressing" phoney authority
Read the book "The Great Deceit" to learn how "buttressing" is used. Learn where the "buttressing" is and who is involved in it. This will keep you from being fooled by "appealing to authority" when that "authority" is a fraud "buttressing" the fraud you are trying to check.
3. Controlled Opposition
Serious deceivers play both sides of the fence. In order to throw off people who are trying to get to the bottom of an issue, there are people paid to appear they are sympathetic, and to infiltrate what they are trying to destroy.
