and we keep chewing up ground to regain what the abusive avian grabbed.
and we ARE going to get there and well beyond. because this is a better platform and they do not throttle and shadowban and hide your message here. the information gets to be free. substack is a partner, not an adversary.
thanks to all of you for your support.
and thanks to all those that are rapidly turning the comments section here into a lively forum for debate and a source of useful information, perspective, and ESPECIALLY peer review to keep me honest and on track.
A couple months ago was reading comments on a different site and one of the commenters linked to this site. Have loved it ever since. Link up. Thank you for your great insights/graphs etc. Helps to see the whole picture.
I'm liking and interacting with the substack platform more than the blue bird because there don't seem to be the infinity number of trolls and bots here who respond to every tweet with, "Idiots says what?" and ruin your day. Also, i think it's better for everyone to communicate in full paragraphs and not 240 characters. 240 characters is only good for insults and propaganda.
Ive noticed the most rational and the brightest all have the killer humour . It's a common theme. They also all have "Range" per the book written by David Epstein.
I discovered you recently via Alex Berenson and I am very happy. The first 10 seconds I read you I was shocked by the shortage of capital letters in your texts but I must admit that I just love it now. You are unique! Keep on the good work! I have deleted my accounts on twitter, facebook, pinterest, youtube and almost google (I substituted gmail for proton mail, chrome for brave, and of course duckduckgo). I like the linked post in which you mentioned ways to decentralize internet. Maybe some day you can explain simple steps one can do to achieve this for technology dummies like myself. Thanks for everything!!!
Have to admit it was a problem for me at first, but honestly it's the intelligent people that bother to read on through.
He is a Puerto Rican genius, and when you teamed him up with Gummi Bear (who's also getting banned so you know they are tight), it was a match made in heaven.
Btw he mentioned in a post awhile back WHY he does that, and I totally get it, it's because he doesn't have to stop his train of thought to bother with stuff like caps and punctuation.
I love it, rebel to the core!
But I was trained by an accomplished author, to use two things without hesitation:
Nah I never take stuff personal online, and my wife is highly allergic to cats, so we are El Perro Malo people haha.
My dog is dumb though, a pound retread mini-pin coming up on his 10th bday, so like 157 in dog years.
He speaks food. He eats anything with blood on it, I have 3 girls in the house, do the math lol.
Anyways I heart cats big time otherwise. Last one in my previous life before marriage was named Floozie, perfect name too, she was a rescue from roomie, and was an outside/inside hunter 24/7, and hated to be petted lol.
That was 21 years ago.
I'm following big time, I have a preteen son, and the school mandates are coming.
Ah helllll no, you first.
AFAIC, anyone that follows Gato is as smart or (usually) much smarter than I, so read read read..... absorb like a sponge, this intel is crucial.
I had my soul dog and always thought I was a dog person. As I’ve gotten older, I find cats fit my personality so much better. Or… I fit cats’ personalities better 🤔
Got back to you via Alex Berenson! I had heard and read you on other platforms because I loved the name el gato malo (I am a Spanish speaking Gringa) but you kind of disappeared off my radar. Glad to be back in your Universe!

There was a video posted the other day about a doctor with the patient and altered test results from pre to post vax that I watched regarding possible changes in immunity post jab.
Since then, I just watched Dr. Cole's rumble from AAPS and he made a great suggestion which is to also to pre/post panels, specifically:
D-dimer
Sedimentation Rate
C Reactive protein HS
Troponin
CDC
CMP
That way you have ample evidence of harm done per their coercion to maintain employment. I know, no one in their right mind that is informed will do take the jab, but I know a few folks that feel that it's their only choice for whatever reason.
If you get any symptoms related to something like say micro-clotting, make them (corporations) hurt. It might be even a good way to get them to blink first by telling them beforehand???
I just thought of another one. If you’re planning on bailing, get together with a few coworkers who are thinking the same thing, hire a lawyer, tell the lawyer what do you want them to say in a lawsuit and have them served at their home address. Not at work. That should shake them up a bit too. What do you have to lose, other than your life if you take the jab.
Yes. Be the bear. Put them in an awkward position. If you are ready to walk, you can really taunt them to fire you. You know they reply all that’s company wide? That one!
I posted the link on Facebook & they removed within 10 minutes. It had one view & I tried to reply to the comment & couldn't. I tried to repost & couldn't. I think I may be blocked. What a surprise!!!
As a test, can you post to any other Substack page besides this one? It would be interesting to see if they are looking for particular URL's or keywords. Or maybe both???
I'd try it, but have forever swore off those evil manipulative jerks. forever.
I was overjoyed when Berenson mentioned you yesterday in his email. It was like reconnecting with a long-lost friend that you thought you would never see again!
I don't know what was the big first catalyst, but very clearly lockdown skeptics are moving away from Twitter over to here. It's not just Gato and Berenson.
Congrats, El Gato Malo! I think you'll surpass what numbers your had on the abusive avian since there will be a lot of people like me who read your threads but didn't have a Twitter account.
Glad to see it. Is there any way for us to email you data to look at? I've been tracking the Unvaccinated Case Rate - Vaccinated Case Rates in the UK PHE Vaccine Surveillance data and can predict the 18-29 Case rate delta is going to fall below zero in just over 2 weeks and the 80+ Admissions will fall below zero in less than 3.5 weeks (the change in delta is accelerating currently, based on the last two reports it's going to happen in 2 weeks). Mortality looks to be about 6 weeks unless it also continues to accelerate (in the 70+ ranges)
I did some more work on this today. It's possible the cause here is simply that there is only a tiny portion of the population there above 18 that is non-immune. But since they don't track natural immunity as a category, we can't assign cases to those who had prior infections vs none.
This could actually be skewing numbers against vaccine efficiency in all contexts. But ONLY if natural immunity is superior. Significantly superior either in terms of quality of immunity or duration, or both.
This all hangs on their 6000ish sample blood donation serum prevalence numbers that they age weighted.
el cato, a question: do you know where substack is hosted physically, under what jurisdictions, and by what orgs? Curious about the sharding they're doing, as sharding was used by google (they were still sloughing off the don't be evil yoke) as a subpoena defense/defence.
Congrats el gato! Quick question, do you have a related post regarding the confusion bw the fda approved comirnaty vaccine and the continued EUA? Is it available in the US? Did the fda do a "bait and switch" as suggested by Senator Ron Johnson to pave the way for mandates? This is all very confusing.
There needs to be more widespread support for federated services like Mastodon for Social Media and Matrix for chat. The ability to run and manage your own infrastructure is very attractive.
There's just not the userbase at the moment, unfortunately.
I've been here way before the Berenson bump - Like following both of them. Came here after the bird site dumped them. Seems the best place for level-headed info - and el gato clearly has the knowledge base.
We will rebuild...like the six million dollar man " faster,stronger,better ". But no cyborgs please 🙏sorry if the cats too young to remember Steve Austin.🤷♀️
Got the ol' Berenson Bump the other day :)
This was my first thought also. Happy to link over. Congratulations. And - I'm telling all my friends. Good stuff.
Yeah... I just came here from there. It was a good plug
A commenter at this site linked me here: https://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?blog=Market-Ticker-Nad
Is that bad or good????????
Congrats. You deserve it. Wait......you should have at least 10,000,000 subs. Lets all help El Gato exceed the million subs mark.
A couple months ago was reading comments on a different site and one of the commenters linked to this site. Have loved it ever since. Link up. Thank you for your great insights/graphs etc. Helps to see the whole picture.
Congratulations! It couldn’t happen to a better cat, or even vertebrate.
I'm liking and interacting with the substack platform more than the blue bird because there don't seem to be the infinity number of trolls and bots here who respond to every tweet with, "Idiots says what?" and ruin your day. Also, i think it's better for everyone to communicate in full paragraphs and not 240 characters. 240 characters is only good for insults and propaganda.
Take it as a given, that substack by its very nature filters out all that troll bs.
Just the smart people on here, something to learn every minute.
Love your work. Plus, you've got a great sense of humor! Most appreciated in these times (well, anytime really).
Ive noticed the most rational and the brightest all have the killer humour . It's a common theme. They also all have "Range" per the book written by David Epstein.
The best cat memes ever! And your content is super intelligent without the ego, IMO. Favorite follow ever.
we all have ego.
there is nothing like having 10's of thousands of informed people see your ideas and tear into them to help you see where you succumbed to it.
every problem is shallow to someone.
the single best part of the internet is having your carefully arrived at thesis wrecked in 5 seconds by someone who saw an angle you missed.
best peer review. ever.
peer review should be hostile, not dogmatic.
crowd sourced kaizen. well done el gato.
Congratulations, Gato! We are grateful and in your debt. You da cat.
I discovered you recently via Alex Berenson and I am very happy. The first 10 seconds I read you I was shocked by the shortage of capital letters in your texts but I must admit that I just love it now. You are unique! Keep on the good work! I have deleted my accounts on twitter, facebook, pinterest, youtube and almost google (I substituted gmail for proton mail, chrome for brave, and of course duckduckgo). I like the linked post in which you mentioned ways to decentralize internet. Maybe some day you can explain simple steps one can do to achieve this for technology dummies like myself. Thanks for everything!!!
I saw someone recently complain about the lack of capital letters and got defensive for The Cat. I mean cats are nothing if not eccentric and unique.
It's difficult for cats to use the shift key.
Totally agree. I did not complain about it, I just mention it first shocked me but now I cannot envision his texts in a different way 😂
Have to admit it was a problem for me at first, but honestly it's the intelligent people that bother to read on through.
He is a Puerto Rican genius, and when you teamed him up with Gummi Bear (who's also getting banned so you know they are tight), it was a match made in heaven.
Btw he mentioned in a post awhile back WHY he does that, and I totally get it, it's because he doesn't have to stop his train of thought to bother with stuff like caps and punctuation.
I love it, rebel to the core!
But I was trained by an accomplished author, to use two things without hesitation:
Serial commas, and paragraph breaks..
Oh I wasn’t referring to you or anyone in particular. I just found my knee jerk reaction kind of funny but then I’m a major cat lover 😻
Nah I never take stuff personal online, and my wife is highly allergic to cats, so we are El Perro Malo people haha.
My dog is dumb though, a pound retread mini-pin coming up on his 10th bday, so like 157 in dog years.
He speaks food. He eats anything with blood on it, I have 3 girls in the house, do the math lol.
Anyways I heart cats big time otherwise. Last one in my previous life before marriage was named Floozie, perfect name too, she was a rescue from roomie, and was an outside/inside hunter 24/7, and hated to be petted lol.
That was 21 years ago.
I'm following big time, I have a preteen son, and the school mandates are coming.
Ah helllll no, you first.
AFAIC, anyone that follows Gato is as smart or (usually) much smarter than I, so read read read..... absorb like a sponge, this intel is crucial.
Shut off news, turn on Gato Sub. Yeah buddy!
I had my soul dog and always thought I was a dog person. As I’ve gotten older, I find cats fit my personality so much better. Or… I fit cats’ personalities better 🤔
I didn't notice that there were no capital letters. Thank goodness I'm not a proof reader!
Dah, cats don’t have opposable digits. Gawd
Got back to you via Alex Berenson! I had heard and read you on other platforms because I loved the name el gato malo (I am a Spanish speaking Gringa) but you kind of disappeared off my radar. Glad to be back in your Universe!
Where is Berenson on here? Get lost for hours on Twitter, then inbox blows up with Gato notifications, and no time for Alex.
I follow Alex Berenson, found bad cattitude & then found Glen Greenwald too. Need all the good true info you can get.
I found Gato about a week before Alex shouted him out, which confirmed I was on the right track. Guess I better track down Glen Greenwald now!

Just had an aha moment - well maybe.
There was a video posted the other day about a doctor with the patient and altered test results from pre to post vax that I watched regarding possible changes in immunity post jab.

Dr. Cole's video where I got the idea:
https://rumble.com/vndh8i-covid-19-points-to-ponder-from-a-pathologists-perspective.html
I think enough people start doing this it will start to get their attention.
Just watched it, very interesting, now I want an immune panel blood workup.
I just thought of another one. If you’re planning on bailing, get together with a few coworkers who are thinking the same thing, hire a lawyer, tell the lawyer what do you want them to say in a lawsuit and have them served at their home address. Not at work. That should shake them up a bit too. What do you have to lose, other than your life if you take the jab.
Yes. Be the bear. Put them in an awkward position. If you are ready to walk, you can really taunt them to fire you. You know they reply all that’s company wide? That one!
This FL lawyer reads Gato so take a look: https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/-coffee-and-covid-thursday-october?r=jhq3f&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&utm_source=
I like his posts, but he's too expensive for me to subscribe to ($500/yr.) just to post to him.
Just his Sunday posts are restricted to his subscribers. Amazing content every other day!
Nooo. It’s free. He also posts on mewe and FB.
This video of Dr. McCullough is a must view.
Dr. McCullough is my hero. You'd think this incredibly-credentialed man would be unassailable, but they've even gone after him.
Surest way to know who the truth-tellers are is their willingness to suffer.
I posted the link on Facebook & they removed within 10 minutes. It had one view & I tried to reply to the comment & couldn't. I tried to repost & couldn't. I think I may be blocked. What a surprise!!!
As a test, can you post to any other Substack page besides this one? It would be interesting to see if they are looking for particular URL's or keywords. Or maybe both???
I'd try it, but have forever swore off those evil manipulative jerks. forever.
Video is steady excellent only minutes in, and I noticed he indicated he has a strong epidemiology background in his intro.
Just found you and so thankful I did.
I was overjoyed when Berenson mentioned you yesterday in his email. It was like reconnecting with a long-lost friend that you thought you would never see again!
I don't know what was the big first catalyst, but very clearly lockdown skeptics are moving away from Twitter over to here. It's not just Gato and Berenson.
Hopefully, next will be GummiBear.
CATalyst! MEOW!
You love to see it. You were one of the first voices of reason I found on Twitter at the start of all this.
Me too, and I had an Avian account for years and never used it, and was like "El Gato Malo?".
"Gummibear?". TF?
Am a total addict now lol. From his keyboard to my FB page.
Congrats, El Gato Malo! I think you'll surpass what numbers your had on the abusive avian since there will be a lot of people like me who read your threads but didn't have a Twitter account.

The totalitarians in our midst are desperately trying to shut down all dissent. Thankfully, they seem to be failing.
One of my favorite twitter folks, glad your writing, I hope all my favs move to this type of forum
I, like others I'm sure, share your articles on Twatter all the time.
So I, like others I'm sure, will be banned from Twatter in due time.
Thank you all the great work you have done. You are pulling back the curtain on the lies perpetuated by the powers that be
I think the word you are looking for is "ballistic"
el cato, a question: do you know where substack is hosted physically, under what jurisdictions, and by what orgs? Curious about the sharding they're doing, as sharding was used by google (they were still sloughing off the don't be evil yoke) as a subpoena defense/defence.
i don't know.
what i do know is that i keep this email list downloaded onto an airgapped drive.
so if they manage to blow this up, i'll take you all with me this time and set up shop somewhere new with all the content and contacts preserved.
that makes it feel like a far better place to build.
Also do you know if @rustler83 is out there anywhere?
I relied on him for excellent Scotland numbers but the bad bird killed him.
Thank you for having this back up
You are one awesome cat. Do you take donations? I want to support you!
Whoop whoop El Gato!! I only found you after you were on substack, so word still does spread!
Keep going!! Love from Tennessee
I second that (East) Tennessee 😺
Congrats el gato! Quick question, do you have a related post regarding the confusion bw the fda approved comirnaty vaccine and the continued EUA? Is it available in the US? Did the fda do a "bait and switch" as suggested by Senator Ron Johnson to pave the way for mandates? This is all very confusing.
Congratulations amigo, thank you for all you're doing!
Congrats... keep going...
Gatos eat little blue birds for breakfast!
I find your posts so hopeful…you inspire me to believe we will win the freedom battle. Keep up the good work!
You go, Gato!
Absolutely amazing!!
congrats and most importantly: THANK YOU!
There needs to be more widespread support for federated services like Mastodon for Social Media and Matrix for chat. The ability to run and manage your own infrastructure is very attractive.

Congrats!
New synergies popping up all over the place- I love everyone citing everyone else's posts. It has been wonderful to see! Here you are Gato-
https://twitter.com/andrewbostom/status/1446123162463133704
Natural immunity is the gold standard. I'm an American. Do the math.... yea, nice to see you cat
Congrats
New subscriber here. Still adjusting to the dearth of capital letters, but overall, I like your cattitude.
I've been here way before the Berenson bump - Like following both of them. Came here after the bird site dumped them. Seems the best place for level-headed info - and el gato clearly has the knowledge base.
We will rebuild...like the six million dollar man " faster,stronger,better ". But no cyborgs please 🙏sorry if the cats too young to remember Steve Austin.🤷♀️
You’re one great kitten, and I’m enjoying every word you post. You deserve a lot more than 10,000.
How do we pay you for this content. I’ve learned so much, but am starting to feel like a freeloader…
Cats Rule!!
iFelicidades!
Me gusta muchas veces!!!
Way to go, gato...a little toxoplasmosis may be the best remedy for lots of ills
