MIDDLEBORO REVIEW AND SO ON

Important Message from MeidasTouch Founder Ben Meiselas and MeidasTouch Network Feb 14 Hey everybody, it’s Ben Meiselas, founder of MeidasTouch. It’s great to be with you on this Saturday. I wanted to send you this important message as the week wraps up. Before I go any further, please make sure you’re subscribed to this Substack and, if you can, become a paid subscriber. I don’t love asking, but your paid subscriptions have fueled our growth in a way that’s undeniable. You’ve seen what we accomplished this week. If you believe in this work, now is the time to step up and support it. Now let’s talk about what just happened. This was a week of accountability around the world. Leaders resigning. Executives fired. People criminally charged. Across business, politics, the arts, and academia, individuals tied to Epstein faced consequences. Everywhere except the White House. That contrast says everything. I told you going into this week to watch Attorney General Pam Bondi’s hearing. It was one of the most absurd, unhinged performances I have ever seen. It would have felt like parody if the subject matter were not so serious. It summed up the cruelty, incompetence, recklessness, and moral rot of the Trump regime. When your top law enforcement official treats accountability like a joke, that tells you exactly what they fear. And while the regime tries to deflect, the American people are not blind. The jobs numbers for 2025 were revised down by about a million. Prices are not going down. Families feel it every single day. You can spin the press releases, but you cannot spin reality. They are getting more desperate, and it shows. Meanwhile, here at MeidasTouch, you helped power one of the biggest weeks in our history. Our Washington, D.C., bureau racked up half a billion views with interviews that drove the national conversation. Our coverage of the Epstein files has been first-rate, careful, survivor-centered, and relentless. We beat Joe Rogan again on the YouTube charts. He was number two. We were number one. We beat Fox. We beat CNN. We even beat the NFL on YouTube during the week of the Super Bowl. That doesn’t happen by accident. That happens because this community shows up. We spoke with many survivors this week. They trusted us with their stories. That trust means everything. We take it seriously. We will continue to fight for accountability and transparency, no matter how powerful the people involved may be. We are winning this fight because we are united. We are winning because we are relentless. And we are not backing down. If you’re not yet a paid subscriber, now is the moment. Help us expand our reporting. Help us grow our D.C. bureau. Help us keep pushing when others cave. We’re just getting started. Meidas+ is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support our work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

JUST A FEW OF MANY COMMENTS: 

This sick excuse for a president is easily persuaded by money to do whatever the lobbyist wants! HCR wrote this in her Substack this morning. As was reported in the Washington Post:

In April 2024, then-candidate Trump told oil executives they should raise $1 billion for his campaign. In exchange, Trump promised he would get rid of Biden-era regulations and make sure no more such regulations went into effect, in addition to lowering taxes. Trump told them $1 billion would be a “deal,” considering how much money they would make if he were in the White House.

I don’t think he’s motivated by money. It’s just my assessment, but I’m fairly positive he’s motivated purely by the threat of Putin’s kompromat being revealed and reviled by the world. Especially by every woman on Earth when they learn of what atrocity he performed in hopes it would make him feel ultimate power, doing a thing no sane person would ever do, thus proving to himself he is so powerful (like Putin) he isn’t afraid to do *a thing I could not describe in good conscious* - Those sniper attacks were not staged. He paid for them though, because he didn’t want to continue living as a lowly scum of all humanity and fearful slave as the gambit in Putin’s modern war strategy to destroy these United States from the inside out.

No.

It is about money.

1) He isn't afraid of Putin, a business partner.

2) His base believes everything anti-trump is a hoax.

It is all about the money. $$$$$

Ben, thank you, your brothers and your team for being fearless in reporting the true facts with receipts. Stay safe, stay strong and God bless.

"Moral rot" is the perfect description."

She is one of the girls. Feel sorry for her and her never let her go

Thank you very much, brother, for your valuable and timely information it is truly appreciated.

As an Afghan veteran who served alongside the United States military forces in Afghanistan, I am deeply disappointed and disheartened by the way we have been abandoned under President Trump’s administration. I spent years carrying out missions with U.S. Special Forces in Afghanistan, standing shoulder to shoulder with American troops in the fight against terrorism. Yet today, many of us who were your trusted partners and frontline allies have been completely left behind.

To my American sisters and brothers: please raise your voices and urge your government not to abandon the Afghan allies who fought beside you for twenty years. Thousands of loyal Afghan partners who risked their lives in support of U.S. operations are now stranded and in danger.

Do not leave your allies behind.

Thank you for resisting, reporting and rallying Americans to THE TRUTH!💙

Thank you Ben, for the real news, awesome job!!!!

Fuck Trump! #Resist #Fight #Win

I haven’t watched Bondi’s entire performance before the House committee, but the parts I did see showed Bondi’s conduct was thoroughly unprofessional, rude, and self-entitled. It was not the sort of conduct you would expect to see from an attorney general and officer of the court. The House would have been justified in holding her in contempt.

A normal government would never have allowed these grossly unqualified people from holding positions of power. Now with a reason to show them the door and let the grownups govern, they laugh and say that they are not going anywhere. Accountability needs to come soon or the destruction will continue.

Ben, You and your team are national heroes!!! Keep the news coming.

Don't know how you do it. So much ugliness in what you and your team have to encounter every day, and yet you send us uplifting news --- and hope. Thank you.

I can't believe the s*** show Bondi put on. I am not sure if the video I saw with Michael Cohen. Yesterday was disinformation or AI.

He was saying day's not going to be on your site anymore,

and is going to team up with trump again.Please tell me that's not true.
