My time on Substack is now over + other important updates & new content
Dec 15, 2025 8:22 pm
Hi ,
Michael here. I have quite a few updates so let's get into it:
No more Substack for me
"Age verification" laws kicked-in in Australia where I am on December 10.
Nothing seemed to change in the first day...but then things have started changing rapidly.
As a result of these changes, my time on the Substack platform is now over. This was my farewell note.
I have now set my Substack to private and no new subscriptions will be allowed. If you were an existing subscriber at the time I have made the change, you will retain full access to the Substack through your existing Substack account but do keep in mind that I plan to gradually delete the content there as its migration to my own website is completed.
Check the article below on my website for the full rundown:
The Social Media ban for under 16 has commenced...and with it, the dreaded "age verification" measures I have been shouting off the rooftops about since April have arrived....FOR EVERYONE (not just the children)!
Very important interview with 3 ladies from NZ
The day before I left Substack, I did a Livestream with three brave ladies from "across the ditch" to discuss their personal experience interacting with the NZ Royal Commission into Covid.
As you can probably tell from the thumbnail (enable images for this email if you can't see it), it wasn't very positive at all...to put it mildly.
There are also very important lessons to be learnt from the NZ experience for other countries that either already hold formal government inquiries into Covid or plan/promise to have them. We discuss those lessons in the interview as well.
I am joined by Ursula Edgington, Deborah Cunliffe and & Kathryn Pick for their account of the UTTER FARCE that is the NZ Covid Enquiry.
Actionable Take Livestream this weekend
There is LOTS happening and as much as I want to keep each Actionable Take Livestream focused on one topic only, I am unfortunately unable to do this on this occasion due to the event in Sydney's Bondi Beach this last weekend which I am sure you've heard about (and if not, I have posted about it here and here in the Private Community).
So, I'm going top discuss two topics in this week's Actionable Take Livestream (turn on images in case you can't see the thumbnail):
Please note that as I have now left Substack, I will NOT be Livestreaming through there.
I will still send the Livestream to Rumble and Odysee (and will provide direct links in my reminder email 12 hours before the Livestream starts) but the BEST place going forward to watch & participate (Reminder that I'm doing this as a Livestream solely because I want it to be interactive) is through the Actionable Truth dedicated Livestream page.
Accessing the recording
Like all past and future episodes of "Actionable Take Live", the Livestream will be recorded and accompanied by detailed show notes covering everything I mention on the broadcast, plus expanding on it significantly.
However, as I previously explained, these broadcasts require a lot of preparation and other effort on my part and for them to continue on a regular basis into the future (initially every two weeks but am open to making it weekly if there is support from you for that), the recording and accompanying show notes are available only to paying members.
I've made the show notes from the last broadcast available to all members of my website (but not the recording) and may make part of the show notes available again this time as well due to the nature of the topics being discussed but again, if you want access to the recording, you will need to upgrade to a paid membership
Reminder that watching and taking part in the Actionable Take Livestream is free (and always will be) and is open to everyone (so spread the word!).

How to get a paid membership?
There are basically two ways:
- Sign up as a paying member on my website. You can choose between a monthly membership or prepay for a year which gives you two months of free membership.
- Sign up to any of the paid tiers on my private community. The lower paid tier ("Truth Seeker") costs the same as the paid membership on the website (with the same 2 months free if you prepay for a year) but also gives you a permanent 10% discount on anything in my new merchandise store (the range is quite limited now but will be expanded significantly later this month with regular new drops occurring monthly). If you are interested in supporting my work through buying any merch, or believe you will be in a position to do so in the future, please choose this option instead of signing up through the website as it will give you this extra benefit of a flat discount for no extra cost. The second paid tier ("Truth Brigade") will allow you to take part in the Actionable Huddles as well as access the recordings of these sessions. This is another thing that I hope to restart, subject to your support. It also increased your permanent discount on all merchandise to 15% and also give you access to exclusive drops available only to paying community members on the "Truth Brigade" tier.
New Merch drop
As promised, I aim to have new merch added to the official Actionable Truth merchandise store at least monthly.
Buying merchandise is a great way to support my work (and keep me 100% independent which is a non-negotiable as far as I'm concerned) if you don't want to commit to any recurring subscriptions (either month-to-month or annually) and would like to have a physical item you can either wear yourself or gift to others.
In this month's drop, I decided to mark the fourth 'anniversary' to the start of the "winter of severe illness and death" promised to the "unvaccinated" by one Joe Biden (turn on images if you can't see the image below):
You can see my take on this 'promise' and its aftermath in the form of a Tee, Hoodie, Cap and Beanie.
Hope you like it and also remember that all paying members in the private community get at least 10% off of all merchandise (current and future) for as long as they remain paid members of the private community.
That's it from me for now.
If you have any questions or comments, just press "reply" and I'll do my best to answer within 24 hours.
See you on the Livestream this weekend.
