Trumpers Attack Meidas WITH LIES to Shut Us Down MeidasTouch Network and Ben Meiselas Feb 8 By Ben Meiselas I’ll keep this short. Trump supporters have launched a new attack on Meidas. They are saying that we are funded by USAID. This is 100 percent false. We have never been funded by USAID. Trump supporters used a coordinated “bot swarm” to try to defame us across social media. Here are some examples. This is their latest attempt to shut us down and harass us. To date, they have sent us numerous death threats. They’ve begged Trump and Elon to sue us. They launched a cyberattack against us, and they’ve doxxed our homes and our families. Trump has sued our hosts and then dismissed the case. Trump has attacked us at his criminal trial. Fox hosts have conspired to shut us down. They are throwing everything they’ve got at us. Yet, here we stand. The Meidas Mighty are here together. We stand tall, and we stand proud. It is absurd to even suggest we received anything from USAID. We have never received a cent from USAID. We have zero investors, and the main way we grow is through our subscribers on this Substack. We have nothing to do with USAID. Look, I get why Trump and his supporters feel threatened by us. We are bringing the fight to them. We are putting the screws in. We have been relentless and fearless in our fight against Trump and his regime. We are bringing major collaborations to this Substack, like our partnership with Jim Acosta and our collaboration with the I’ve Had It Podcast. They are now calling the MeidasTouch Network the “mayor” of Substack and calling me “Mayor Ben” (lol!!) for uniting all the best independent media here and bringing the best sources and impactful content together. You know what? I’m happy to be the unofficial Substack mayor. It has a nice ring to it. WATCH: Jim Acosta JOINS MeidasTouch LIVE MeidasTouch Network, Ben Meiselas, and Jim Acosta · Feb 6 Read full story We don’t mince words here. We call a coup a coup, like the coup in plain sight we are seeing with Trump and Elon dismantling government agencies. I am not afraid to call Trump a criminal, felon, sexual assaulter, predator, traitor, fraud, and bankrupter of businesses. We will speak the truth—plainly, loudly, passionately, and fearlessly. Always, with you, the Meidas Mighty, by our side. To the Trump supporters attacking us and lying about us being funded by USAID: You will never intimidate us. We have the Meidas Mighty by our side. Our mission to restore American democracy will never be deterred or distracted. When you attack us, threaten our lives, launch cyberattacks, or use bot swarms to defame us, please know you only make us work harder to defeat you and your dictator. You make us work harder to get more subscribers and grow our Substack community. You can keep attacking us and wasting your time, Trump supporters. We will keep growing our media network with our subscribers here on this Substack. We are hitting close to 30 million views every two days on YouTube, and we get more views than all the top Fox shows combined. The MeidasTouch Podcast now beats the Joe Rogan Podcast on the Apple charts, and we beat Fox News in digital views. (Add the MeidasTouch Podcast on Apple and Spotify.) Are you seeing what I’m seeing? Because I see a passion like never before being unleashed in America—among those who want to restore our democracy, fight for normalcy, and push back against these disgusting oligarchs. We are united not just in America but across the globe, fighting the good fight against these evil billionaires and fascists who want to see us suffer. We will not let them win. Ever. Sure, they may have all the money in the world and all the material resources they can buy, but they can’t buy authenticity, grit, love, or community. We will defeat them. I want to thank Jim Acosta and the I’ve Had It Podcast for joining me this week on Substack. I look forward to announcing more collaborations soon. You’re going to love it. Thanks to all our subscribers here on Substack for helping us grow and allowing us to become the top YouTube channel in America and the top audio podcast in America in the very same week. We are beating the billionaires—thanks to you! Since we don’t have investors and are 100 percent independent, please subscribe to this Substack if you can. Our goal is to get 300 new paid subscribers this weekend. We need to stay 100 percent people-powered and keep growing, so please subscribe now if you can. Let’s keep growing and fighting together. Let’s keep meeting the moment. Let’s show these billionaires what the Meidas Mighty is capable of doing—together. Meidas+ is a reader-supported publication.
