Christmas is on its way in the Philippines, as the "ber" months approach. I've already seen Christmas decorations in some stores where I reside. I even bought some wrapping paper and a few toys to stash away in advance for my son's holiday celebration.
The president and his staff, along with many politicians in the Philippines, have essentially promised us all a better Christmas than last year's unmitigated disaster. Frankly, I don't see how that will be possible for a lot of people, given the fact that multitudes of individuals have lost their jobs, and a plethora of businesses have permanently shuttered.
Some 45% to 50% of our country has already experienced hunger. That is sad. Many of us who have a little money have helped family and neighbors with food supplies, because, how dare we not give to people in need?
Our economy is in tatters and inflation is further impacting what's left of our money. The peso is devalued; our money does not buy what it used to buy. Spaghetti is now a luxury item, as is SPAM. Even fuel for our vehicles has increased.
Meanwhile, the fat cats who are the wealthy elite live in luxury and make little if any attempts to assuage or remedy our meager sustenance. Mind you, I have no grudge against wealthy people per se; it is only the wealthy who dictate to us and rob us blind with their corruption that I despise (but not hate).
Thankfully, we have #BCH to help us through the pandemic years (and they are far from over). Whatever and however we earn, we should be mindful of our purchases and not be foolish spenders, what I refer to as the 50,000 pesos a month wannabe millionaires. Ostensibly these types of people appear wealthy, but in reality they are frauds and live far beyond their means.
DOH/IATF
Unfortunately, the DOH is not doing a very good job with real science. Instead, they are following what other countries have done or are doing: imposing harsher restrictions on the populace. Masks. Face shields. Alcohol bans. Curfews. Lockdowns. Layoffs. Spreading fear.The fact is, we Filipinos have been under the longest quarantine in the entire world.
Many of you have been negatively impacted. As a Filipino, I don't take advice from the DOH seriously, nor our government leaders. Instead, in between writing jobs I conduct research among the epidemiologist experts around the world, some of whom are Nobel Prize winners. You won't find many facts on the Philippine Star or the Manila Bulletin. Instead you will find daily, excessive fearmongering and deliberate propaganda.
Get the jab! It'll save your life! Don't go outside unless it's absolutely necessary! It will save your life. Refrain from any gathering of more than 10 people! It will save your life! Stay off the beaches; it will save your life! Follow the IATF guidelines, because they are the "experts!" Don't consume alcohol during the pandemic! It'll save your life.
Hogwash!
I'm way past done with the media and government fear narrative. We have to place fear behind us and live our lives rather than succumb to increasing tyranny. I for one do not want to see my son grow up in an Orwellian country or world. In fact, I am researching free dual citizenship - in Nicaragua (more about this in another article).
The Delta variant and its documented risks
https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2021/07/29/why-is-a-toxic-vaccine-being-mandated/
Hopefully you did not skip the link above. This is but one of a veritable host of people warning us and making us aware of what is happening before our eyes. But many have been blinded by the media and government deception. If you did skip the link, here is a pithy summary: we are being played like puppets, the Delta variant does not recognize the double-jabbed, and the dutiful, well-meaning vaccinated are actually spreading new strains of the Wuhan virus.
In the UK and Europe the Delta variant has already peaked and is waning. Look it up. Even #CNN Philippines is speaking poorly of the pandemic response as draconian. I couldn't agree more, and I do not watch CNN (I saw it on You Tube).
But wait! We Filipinos love to sing, so won't you join me? Crank up the karaoke machine and the mic!
Epsilon is Coming
(sung to the old nursery rhyme of "Christmas is Coming")
Epsilon is a coming,
The rich are getting fat
Won’t you put five pesos
In a politician’s hat
If you haven’t got five pesos
Then a peso will have to do
If you haven’t got one peso,
The God bless you (and vote for me!).
That's right. After the Delta variant comes the Epsilon variant. One might wonder why the CDC's of the world, as well as the World Health Organization (WHO), picked the Greek alphabet to name the new variants. There are 24 letters in the Greek alphabet, so 24 variants? I don't know, just guessing.
Trust me, the Delta variant is just the beginning. Epsilon will follow before long, and then another and another. Just watch. Spend wisely. Take the red pill and awaken from your slumber.
Update
Variants have spawned 10 times. We're at Kappa now, so Lambda is next.
Woke up and read the newspaper while drinking some coffee. Here in New York we have a lot of fear being pushed. I live way north of NYC so I don't sweat it. Living in a remote area of the forest has its advantages, like no police.
