What a way to do business at the expense of humanity!
Any business invests a lot of money for advertising, varying from a few thousands to a few millions. This is for the products to sell. While many believed that quality alone is the best advertiser, still they pour money handsomely for ads.
The pandemic that started in the first quarter of 2019 taught me a few lessons. First, it was a hoax and a scam of big pharmaceutical companies. Second, bombardment of advertisements really worked well. Third, it was parts and parcels of geo-politics. Lastly, greed for money brings the worst of men.
Remember the TV series Designated Survivor? Watch it again. Was it prepared for the declaration of the pandemic? The filming started in 2016 (I thought it was much earlier). Season 3 was about the Corona virus with subtype H1N1. The Corona virus of 2019 was H7N7. Coincidence? Not at all. Sorry guys, I didn’t believe it and didn’t have my shots of vaccine.
Movies can be an effective advertisement medium. Just like the American war movies we’ve been watching since childhood, never mind the plot that can be so ridiculous to believe, American soldiers are always the heroes while Japanese, Germans, the black Africans, the Muslims and Arabs, North Koreans, Russians, Chinese, etc., are always the villains. But that’s American war movies, always the good guys, always the strong ones, always the winners.
“He who controls media controls public opinion”.
After WW2, practically all nations looked up to America as the greatest and strongest nations. Everything made in USA is deemed superior in quality. Boasted as the land of the brave, land of milk and honey, many from all walks of life and nationalities love to go to America to work, to toil and be part of the good life.
America had the best in technology, the satellites to control what the people or the world need to see. For that, America was able to fool the world and its own people with the lies and the make-believe. But other nations have been catching up, thus, enabling them to realize the truth from the fake; Pearl Harbor, Apollo moon landing, WMD, 911, Ebola, AIDS and Corona virus, to name a few.
The pandemic was aimed to discredit, destroy and malign China. The last few decades have seen China’s fantastic and mind-boggling growth, economically, militarily, technologically and even in the fields of medicine, farming, infrastructures, etc. Envy has made America uncomfortable that it should act at all cost to stop if not destroy China.
Sadly, the pandemic brought the worst of men. Government institutions, governments officials, high ranking military officers, medical institution, medical practitioners, they somehow cooperated in this worldwide scam at the expense of humanity. All because some were paid handsomely.
When our country allowed the US to have more EDCA sites, I jokingly wrote that the next outbreak could start here. When a few cases of Monkey pox were allegedly observed in the Philippines, I thought it would be it. But people seem to have enough of it and took it lightly. Because we didn’t take the bait, it died a natural death.

In my next column, I’m going to write about US-created tension that could lead to an unwanted and unwarranted war between Asian neighbors, practically between PH and China. There is a dire need to prevent such to happen. Say NO to war and YES to peace.
