Meidas Targeted by More Threats… MAGA Is Scared!

Ben Meiselas and MeidasTouch Network Feb 18

By Ben Meiselas

Hey Meidas Mighty, I’ll keep this short. We recently received more death threats and cyberattacks from Trump supporters. They appear designed to intimidate us as we passed 4 million subscribers on YouTube.

We’ve reported before on other death threats, bot attacks, cyberattacks, and harassment. The volume of this behavior usually picks up when we pass certain milestones, as we just did. In the past, we’ve even had MAGAs show up at the homes of staff members to try to instigate altercations.

We previously had to alert local police of potential swatting attempts to prevent dangerous situations at our homes. We’ve had to warn food delivery services about fake orders sent to our homes. We’ve had MAGA supporters impersonate us when calling the police, falsely claiming we committed crimes against family members in an effort to provoke altercations.

Recently, MAGAs have continued to threaten our safety and our lives, and we just avoided another hacking attempt targeting a new hire at the network.

As I write this, it’s odd to reflect on how this has become a normal part of my and my brothers’ lives. Sometimes we receive so many threats that I almost feel numb to them. It’s just part of the day.

When you have a criminal as the president, it enables other criminals to act like criminals. You could call it trickle-down criminality.

I understand that the MeidasTouch Network is despised by the Trump regime, and that makes us a target. There is no independent media network with our reach, size, and influence at this point.

It’s not surprising—Trump has attacked our hosts before with hundred-million-dollar lawsuits.

Trump even attacked us in his criminal filings and blamed us for his criminal conviction.

I know that the main Fox hosts absolutely despise us and have repeatedly told their staffers that they want us destroyed and want Trump to come after us again.

I am not going to let Trump and his gangsters scare us. I am more focused today than ever. I am more motivated today than ever. I feel so fortunate to be on the front lines fighting alongside you against the Trump regime. Every day before I go to sleep and when I wake up, I ask myself if I am “meeting the moment” for you. I ask myself if I am doing everything I can to make the Meidas Mighty proud. I’m not scared of these MAGAs.

When I created this network with my brothers, it was my dream to build a news network that was bigger than Fox—one that built an audience and a community by bringing the facts and the receipts, focusing on uniting us rather than dividing us. I wanted to build the machine that could take on Fox, fight back against propaganda, and stand up to an authoritarian regime.

This is our time in history to activate everything we’ve worked for. Everything we’ve built together—with you by our side—was for this moment. There is nothing that will scare us or stop us in our mission. Nothing.

I fully expect more death threats and harassment. We keep beating Fox and Joe Rogan in views and downloads, and that scares these MAGAs. Our message is resonating. Trump is already taking major blows to his approval. His agenda is getting derailed. America is rising up. Democracies across the world are rising up and standing strong. We need to stay the course—and accelerate it. It’s time to put it all on the line. I’ve got your back!

If you told me in the past that I’d be running a news network that beats Fox and Joe Rogan, and that we would use this Substack as our home base, I’d probably ask what you were smoking. I probably wouldn’t ask to try it, since I don’t smoke—but I’d ask what it was. This people-powered network has soared to heights no one thought possible because of you, the Meidas Mighty, and we have more to come.

Whenever the threats and harassment against us increase, I always try to use them as motivation to achieve new goals.

I think to myself: Trump and MAGA must be afraid of us. I know we are on target. So I use it as motivation to grow the network.

I double down. I triple down. I quadruple down. Sure, 4 million subscribers is great—but let’s get to 5 million, then 10 million, then 100 million.

I feel like there’s nothing the Meidas Mighty can’t accomplish together.

A goal I want to set on Substack today is to hit 500 new subscribers.

I want to grow this Substack.

I want to send a message to those Trump supporters who come after us: Your threats, harassment, and cyberattacks will always backfire—because we will use them as fuel to grow even stronger.

So, if you can, please subscribe now, and let’s grow the Meidas Mighty movement together.

You can also gift subscriptions to others.

Let’s hit our subscriber goal today if we can.

We have such an incredible amount of content here and on YouTube, and I hope you know how hard we are working every day to take on the Trump regime fearlessly, ruthlessly, and passionately. I hope you’ve noticed our growth—it’s all because of your support.
