Reading · As Time Goes By

There are a lot of great Substacks out there, but some have unique qualifications. Michael Sellers is a retired CIA analyst, and he brings his training to his research and writing. Everything he writes is sourced, so you can check his facts. He Calls what he does a Deeper Look, he doesn’t write until he achieves a more complete understanding of his topic. Consequently, his pieces require more thought on the part of the reader. It’s never just a headline.

He doesn’t hide his posts behind a paywall, so you can benefit from his writing for free.

He currently has 960 paid subscribers and he’s trying to crack the 1000 subscriber barrier. This will elevate him in the Substack algorithm and bring his work to a wider audience

I know it is crunch time cash wise for many of us, but there is an opportunity here. Michael is running a 50% off sale. If you can spare $30, you can subscribe to a Deeper Look by Michael Sellers and keep the $30 rate FOREVER.

So, subscribe, please! (We still love you if you can’t.)

I found Michael’s work particularly valuable when he analyzed videos of the Renee Goode and Alex Pretti murders. (BTW, video analysis is his day job.) I was also greatly enlightened by his posts on the beginning of Trump’s war on Iran.
