Explaining the foundation in established theory the paper presents the theoretical model ”virus” as a conceptual model for understanding the relationship between (political) deception and the ”host” culture targeted by deception. The theoretical model ”virus” is further examined through three historical illustrations of modern use of political deception, to establish an understanding of the phenomenon of (political) deception.
