Borat is from Kazakhstan call me Pedro from the Philippines
Borat is popular in the USA and UK. Maybe it is because he pokes fun at their cultural and legal taboos.
You can call me Pedro from the Philippines. I have zero political correctness education. I come from a land far away at the end of the very big Pacific Ocean we call the Philippine islands.
I have never seen nor met any Jews in my country. Since I live in the capital city of Metro Manila, I have seen western pharmaceutical medicine dominate the middle class and the rich people’s lives. Our urban poor is lucky because they cannot afford this western pharmaceutical medicine, they resort to the “hilot” (a kind of bone setter / chiropractor) and the “herbolario” (faith healer and herbalist combined). The luckiest are the provincial poor because they have clean, fresh food and the best hilots and herbolarios, no western medical doctors.
This provincial vigor and lack of doctors is a benefit to my poor old grandparents and their old siblings who live in the hills of the far provinces.
I grew up middle class and I was taught that western pharmaceutical medicine was the only “medicine” I did not take notice that they owned the language, until I started getting really sick and this western pharmaceutical medicine never helped, not one bit, not one instance in my personal history. When I became a father, this western pharmaceutical medicine never helped any of my children. Western pharmaceutical medicine is full of symptomatic suppression, no real cures, no real solutions to diseases. Western pharmaceutical medicine is good for emergency cases like gunshots, big cuts, broken bones… we should just call it emergency medicine.
Western pharmaceutical medicine never helped me when I was overweight, with my childhood asthma, with my cystic pimples, with my sand fly bites, with my mitral valve prolapse, with my viral infection that led to high heart beat rate and chronic fatigue syndrome, with my eczema.
Western pharmaceutical medicine did not help my father’s high cholesterol and uric acid, my son’s eczema, my son’s toenail fungi, my son’s allergies, my maternal grandfather’s prostate cancer, my maternal grandmother’s parkinson’s disease, my sister’s constant constipation, my brother’s atopic dermatitis, etc. etc. etc.
Enough I say. How many more examples, how many more dissapointments must we be victimized with? No more. When I have an emergency, we will go to their hospital. When we have other symptoms, other ailments or diseases, we will not call on western imperialist pharmaceutical symptom removal only medicine.
We go now and manage our own health. We go to many healing disciplines and pick the ones we see as effective. We get cures. Real cures. Total cures. All the time. I see the word CURE is banned in the western imperialist countries. We do not accept your western imperialist JUNK. You just want our MONEY but give no health, you give no CURE. So I keep my precious money and be the healthy, wealthy and wise by staying away from your lies.
