Important Message from Meidas Co-Founder Ben Meiselas and MeidasTouch Network Feb 13 By Ben Meiselas Hi MeidasMighty, Big news: We are expanding our offerings here on Substack. We are launching a new live show exclusively on Substack called Meidas Meet Up every Thursday at 1 PM ET / 10 AM PT. Our first guest on the Meet Up today will be Adam Kinzinger. We will be discussing Trump’s capitulation on Ukraine and more. As the unofficial mayor of Substack and with MeidasTouch leading all independent media, it is vital that we expand our show offerings here. Make sure you subscribe now to this Substack to receive alerts about future Meet Up guests. We are continuing to take your feedback and launch the programming you’ve requested. Let’s discuss some other updates in America and the world, shall we? Yesterday, North Korea condemned Trump for boasting about wanting to take over Gaza. We’ve reached the point where Kim Jong Un appears more stable and normal than Trump. The spineless Republicans in the U.S. seem to love being ruled by an actual psychopath, traitor, and dictator who is overtly destroying the country every day. However, we’ve seen the international resistance to Trump strengthen and solidify daily. In the U.S., we are also seeing Democrats in Congress, state leaders, and federal judges (from both parties) fighting back far more aggressively against Trump. Yesterday was a great day for Russia, with its stock market booming, while the U.S. stock market had a very bad day. The business community that once supported Trump is now “worried” about the “chaos” he is causing. You think?! Inflation in the U.S. is soaring again and exceeded all economists’ expectations yesterday, spurred by Trump’s reckless policies and behavior. Trump reacted by somehow blaming Biden and demanding that the Federal Reserve chairman lower interest rates. The boycott against the United States by Canada is growing stronger each day. Canadians are rejecting American goods and products and canceling trips to the U.S. When this data starts to show up in our economy, the impact will be devastating. The boycott spirit is spreading across the world, with the U.S. becoming a pariah state—more isolated and bizarre than even North Korea. It’s a sad state for sure. That said, I see cracks forming in the orange armor of diseased mush. I think Trump will unravel sooner than I even expected as he and Musk overtly destroy the country. Sure, a portion of the population will remain hypnotized, blindly following Trump and Musk, savoring their perversion and cruelty. But I am confident we can help lead the way. We—the MeidasMighty—can capture the heart and soul of the overwhelming majority of the nation who are being absolutely screwed by Trump, Musk, and other oligarchs. Did you see the budget these Republicans rolled out yesterday? A $4.5 trillion tax cut while gutting over $800 million from Medicaid. Musk and Trump will continue to distract people with misinformation about USAID so they don’t realize that billionaires are getting a $4.5 trillion tax cut—money that could have actually gone to help people’s lives. Look, the MeidasTouch Network will hit 4 million YouTube subscribers today. We are about to reach 6 billion views. We will continue to beat Fox and other corporate media in ratings. We will be on the front lines with you, fighting every day by your side. You don’t ever have to feel alone in this fight. The entire MeidasMighty community around the world is in this together. We created the Meet Up Live on Substack and will host our live discussion with Adam Kinzinger today—thanks to your support and subscriptions. And thanks to your continued support, we will keep growing, showing the world that this people-powered network, led by the MeidasMighty, will change the course of history and stop this fascist march. I’ll see you all at the live Meet Up later today. Thank you for helping build this network and making the MeidasTouch Network the leader in independent media. We will always fight by your side, aggressively and fearlessly taking on Trump and his stooges every single day. Please subscribe now to this Substack if you can. We have zero investors and need your help to grow—if you’re able to subscribe, it makes a huge difference. Let’s make history together! Meidas+ is a reader-supported publication.
