We’re republishing an email today about life in Manila that originally appeared in the email newsletter of Tom Woods, host of the Tom Woods Show. The author, Kyle Helke, wrote a “Postcard From Manila” for Lockdown Sceptics earlier this year, so we’re happy to be publishing a follow-up. Things definitely haven’t improved in the Philippines, which now boasts the longest continuous lockdown in the world! Here’s an extract:
Here in the Philippines, it’s as if time stopped in April of last year. Still, you must wear both a face mask and shield when you leave your house. Still, children under 18 and senior citizens are technically not allowed to leave their houses (although this summer that loosened up a bit, but after two weeks the ‘Delta’ variant put an end to that). Still, schools are closed. Still, you must have a negative PCR/antigen test to travel to the next province, book a flight, or stay a night in a hotel. Still, gyms, theaters, cultural institutions, and outdoor sites (such as the American Memorial Cemetery – a cemetery!) are closed. Still, upon entering every shop or workplace one is subjected to a temperature check and a contact tracing form. Still, most restaurants are take-out or are reduced to 50% capacity (only on the lowest-level lockdown). Still, people think that if everyone ‘just gets the vaccine’, Covid will just go away and all of this will be over. Still, what is considered the longest lockdown in the world continues. Indeed, what is happening in places like France and Australia is very alarming, but it is frustrating to see that the Philippines is never acknowledged for its continued brutish restrictions that have been imposed as a result of the de facto martial law that has reigned over this country since all of this began. At least in other places, people are beginning to question the narrative; there isn’t even a shred of that here, people are too scared of the Government (and of catching Covid).

Face mask and shield. If the face mask works, why the shield? If the shield works, why the face mask? If they both work, why stay at home?
Don’t ask questions. Just obey.
Consider yourselves lucky. You could be in Australia, where we’ll shoot your rescue dog..
Good luck with getting through in a physically and mentally sane.
I’m sure Duarte received his big Manila envelope from the powers that be. Fear and greed – these countries are so easy to buy and sell.
We are a little more problematic and that’s why they went in so hard and low from the outset. And fair play to the satanists scientists they have played a bit of a blinder.
It’s surprising that with less than normal excess mortality here that anyone is buying ANY of this bollocks any more. But we have been enchanted by the fear porn BBC etc.
It is becoming a veritable POPCORN spectacle.
It’s like a satanic version of Eurovision, with countries like Australia vying for points with NZ and France and the UK. Let’s hope Ireland keep winning – they do look like they’ve got this.
God bless!
The country is run by a psychotic maniac…or maybe a lot of it is just an act. Either way he’s a total dick.
Wouldn’t be surprised if he’s popular as well.
Some people deserve to be slaves.
