Important Message from Meidas Founder MeidasTouch Network and Ben Meiselas Aug 20 By Ben Meiselas Before jumping into the post, let me thank our subscribers to this Substack. Thanks for keeping the MeidasTouch Network the most watched news network in America. Please subscribe now to this Substack if you aren’t a subscriber, to support the independent reporting of the MeidasTouch Network. Let’s get into the post. I am proud of our coverage of Texas Representative Collier, who was held hostage by Texas Republicans. I am glad we could use our platform to bring attention to it. I want to thank the grassroots groups who alerted us to the situation and asked us to get the first national interview with Representative Collier. Our morning series covering the ICE raids has become critical to keeping the country and world apprised of the conditions here in the United States. We have been covering the protests and the resistance to the Trump regime. Thanks to everyone who gives us tips on — and footage of — the raids. We are building our Meidas Canada with Charlie Angus. We are finalizing the infrastructure before our formal announcement. Building the international resistance media network against fascism is an urgent goal of ours. I hosted the exclusive live Democratic Party Congressional update on the Epstein files last night, with Congressman Robert Garcia, who is the Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee. We continue to lead all news networks in coverage of Trump covering up the Epstein files. I conducted interviews with former National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan and former CIA Spokesperson Ned Price on what our intelligence community really thinks of Trump and what is really going on behind the scenes. What’s next? MeidasTouch will be in Omaha, Nebraska this Saturday leading the Won’t Back Down Tour with MoveOn. We expect a crowd of about 2,000–3,000 people in Omaha. Hopefully we will see you if you’re in the area. Then we go to Chicago, where we will be covering Bernie Sanders’ Fight the Oligarchy Tour. Charlie Angus will soon be announcing Meidas Canada tour dates in Canada. Then we will look to Australia and New Zealand, and then Europe, Asia, and South America. The goal is simple: fight for democracy around the world. In short, we’ve got a lot we are building. The growth of this network has all been made possible thanks to you. We’ve grown with zero investors thanks to this Substack. Please consider subscribing today to help us continue initiatives like this and to continue our growth.
