Worse, when it comes to governments, actions otherwise considered unconscionable or criminal are broadly tolerated if carried out for political reasons. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Politics has always operated in a political theatre of epistemology<\/strong> &#8211; a war of words calculated to win the support of the public. By controlling populations through the creation of fake definitions, politicians can pursue their real agendas in a manner unseen by most. <\/p>\n<p>No issue could demonstrate the political war of definitions better than the Covid &#8216;vaccine-bioweapon-gene therapy-plandemic&#8217;.  <strong>Several American states have launched civil actions against Pfizer,<\/strong> based on the fact that Pfizer illegally re-defined terms like &#8216;vaccine,&#8217; &#8216;adverse event,&#8217; &#8216;virus,&#8217; &#8216;vaccination,&#8217; and &#8216;infection&#8217; to mean things that those words and terms do not mean.  <strong>The significance of this is that for vaccine manufacturers using the contrived definitions, immunity from liability will no longer apply.  <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, the war of words is also fought with valid definitions that correspond to the facts.  These developments appear to represent a significant step in the Right direction because when it comes to the vaccine industry, it&#8217;s the defining issue that&#8217;s Just Right.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/\/www.justrightmedia.org\/blog\/866-topics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/www.justrightmedia.org\/images\/buttons\/topics.gif\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"\/\/www.justrightmedia.org\/blog\/866-clips-credits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/www.justrightmedia.org\/images\/buttons\/clips_and_credits.gif\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you found this presentation valuable please consider supporting us:<br \/>\n&#x1f9e1; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.me\/justrightmedia\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">PayPal<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to politics, you can never be sure whether to laugh or cry.
