This is a (deservedly) very popular post on Substack: 1025 likes. I’m guessing that translates into 20k to 30k viewers of the post. Beyond my wildest dreams. I get 25-30 likes max. A few hundred viewers. El Gato Malo is wildly popular as lockdown sceptics go. His latest post is essential reading. But even the Cat’s readership is just a drop in the ocean. He’s preaching to the converted mainly. We need
I added a drop of my own urine to the gale by liking your post. I like to think that substackers do it for the future (!).
I want to believe that in 10 or 100 years' time people will say 'thank God for those few outspoken dissidents who saved us from Totalitarianism and ushered in the new Enlightenment'. It may seem insignificant now but the powerful writing and thoughtful comments on substack in the right ears could make a huge impact.
I'm proud to be a (microscopic) part of the substack community of writers and commentators.
Not to be facetious, but you are already ‘global’ and a larger resource than you realize. You are a trusted source of links to like-minded individuals who are also aware critical thinkers, aware of the many wrong paths chosen by our ‘leaders’ ‘rulers’ and ‘influencer’s’.
Their light is brighter but they shine it in our eyes to blind us. Your light is smaller but is like a candle used to illuminate the pages of a book in a dark library. Those who can read will gather round they just need your light.
I believe you should rebuild your twitter account. Don’t worry about old accounts or old followers, it seems obvious that the mechanism to sign up for a new account is automated (think dumb AI) while the process to reinstate a banned account is more difficult (think grumpy woke minion)
Agree it is not relevant to the major point made in your article, but it seems that if you apply to have your account reinstated, they will do so now. Most people I know who had banned accounts have now been let on. I agree that manipulation continues, but twitter has its uses for info gathering etc.
Anything we can do to help you back onto Twitter? Appreciate this doesn't address your main point above - re that, all these posts we are writing are fuel for the "hand to hand combat" winning hearts and minds. People don't want to admit they were duped. But every day that goes past, more people are facing up to it. Conversations are getting more open. And being able to point to the "back catalogue" is crucial, i.e. "oh, so you thought (and wrote) that back then...?".

I think Substack is also under Big Brother's thumb and shadowbanning happens here. I think its a combination pressure valve and gauge for the regime.
I am still optimistic but I don't think the big changes will come from people all of a sudden using cash or growing their own food, because I don't think nearly enough of that will happen.
I think there will be big changes because the structure of the tyranny is not strong, and cracks that start out small will at some point start to propagate quickly until the whole edifice crashes. A giant phase change of which we have only seen tiny squeaks up to now.
The people aware of all this are generally not the people in your town or mine who are the movers and shakers. Those people are busy all the time and they generally don't stop to think. But when they hear enough from those they depend on about it they will start taking action like only they can and then things will begin to change and accelerate from there.
Well I tweet all your esteemed Substacks. But the real issue is that most people are still in denial and after three years of ConVid are still not acquainted with the real threats to their health and wealth. I suppose it will have to become far worse before they wake up. I think we can just snap our fingers and laugh at fate and in the meantime take the proverbial pee out of the narrative. Much like your last Substack post.
YES, WE ARE PISSING IN THE WIND, as far as minor substackers. BUT the War is won on the Ground.
How many of Us have at least 6 months of food storage? Long guns, not just handguns? or perhaps those that have no guns or no training for the guns they do have? Ammo? 1500 rounds per gun. Home Water purification? (Berkey or Alexapure, imo:-).
If we as individuals and families are more self reliant, growing food and raising livestock is even better, But We must Do rather than "seem" to be Patriots. All the best.

“How do we go global?”
