RISE UP Against Trump WAR Regime with MeidasTouch!!! Ben Meiselas and MeidasTouch Network Jun 22 By Ben Meiselas This Sunday message follows Trump illegally forcing the United States to join Israel’s war against Iran last night. Trump’s actions, without Congressional authorization, were unlawful—and are impeachable. Trump’s actions are also brutally stupid and have now exposed our troops and civilians to imminent danger and death. Despite all the propaganda, it is not even clear the military strikes in Iran accomplished the purported objectives of disabling the nuclear facilities. Let me be clear. I think Iran should be prohibited from ever getting nuclear weapons. I think the Ayatollah and the Iranian regime is a cancer on its people, the region, and the world. At the same time, I do not want the United States entering another never-ending war in the Middle East, especially under false pretext. Trump bragging that the operation in Iran was a success appears to be false. Based on my sources and the intelligence I’ve reviewed, I am not even confident the strikes took out any of the facilities. Also, Trump’s belief that the attacks on Iran would somehow encourage Iran to make a nuclear deal is beyond stupid. Iran responded by immediately attacking Israel with a ballistic missile barrage, which landed serious strikes in Haifa and Tel Aviv. Trump believed his social media post would scare Iran into not retaliating—and Iran immediately retaliated. Trump ignored our allies and went it alone with Netanyahu. Meanwhile, since Trump has no sense of the geopolitical landscape, he has no clue that Iran is being supported by his friend Putin and Xi, who want to see the U.S. drawn into a war with Israel in the Middle East to distract from their geopolitical ambitions. Putin and Xi will quietly support Iran and feign ignorance over how Iran will continue to be armed. Trump’s war in Iran is also his latest gambit after his failures in the United States. Trump’s tariff war against the world is a failure. Inflation is rising. Gas prices are about to go up massively. Unemployment is rising. Our GDP is contracting. Trump’s disastrous budget bill is despised. Trump’s invasion of American cities with masked ICE agents and federalized National Guard is loathed. Millions of Americans are protesting him, and his dictator parade was a total disaster. We have the weakest, most vile, villainous, cognitively addled creature behind the wheel of a great nation. This sexual abuser, this felon, this bankrupting fraud should be behind bars. At the MeidasTouch Network, we call it how we see it. Can you imagine a cable news network saying what I just said? We are not beholden to anyone. We are funded by our subscribers here on Substack, and we get more views than billion-dollar cable news networks like Fox. You’ve seen our coverage of the protests, and you’ve seen our coverage of Trump’s dictator parade. Now you’ve seen our coverage of Trump’s disastrous war. How refreshing is it to see news coverage like ours that doesn’t glorify war or propagandize the military operation—but calls out in real time what’s actually happening? Imagine if we had independent media during the Iraq war. I am very proud of the MeidasTouch war coverage and how we’ve not been afraid to immediately call for Trump’s impeachment on the most-watched digital stream.
