Hello Meidas Mighty. I will keep this short.
First, I want to quickly thank the subscribers to this Substack for helping the MeidasTouch Network grow.
Please subscribe today if you are not yet subscribed. We have zero investors, and your subscriptions have been the key factor in our growth to beat Fox News and Joe Rogan.
Second, like me, you probably have some mixed feelings on this July 4. That is putting it lightly.
While it is technically Independence Day, the United States is no longer free.
The country is currently under a dictatorship that is bragging about its new concentration camp in Florida, where migrants might be mauled to death by alligators.
The Congress, controlled by MAGA in both chambers, passed a bill to kick 17 million Americans off health care.
Our Supreme Court is supremely fascist, and their view of the country makes The Handmaid’s Tale look tame.
Of course, that’s the bad news.
The good news is that I am still typing this.
The good news is that you are still reading this.
We have each other.
The resistance is not defined by the politicians or the courts. That was never going to happen.
The resistance is defined by “we the people.” It was always going to come down to the people.
So far, what has held this country together is the people who refuse to live under tyranny—who refuse to be tread on.
We came together for the Hands Off protests. We came together for the No Kings protest.
We come together every single day on this Substack and on this network.
In many ways, then, this Independence Day is the most connected we’ve ever been to the origins of the holiday, when our founding fathers declared independence from the throne.
The Declaration of Independence states:
“In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.”
On this Independence Day, let us all commit to remain free from the subjugation of the Trump regime. Let us all reflect on the major accomplishments we have made in never submitting and growing the resistance. Let us visualize a future free from the Trump regime, where we can one day rejoice and reclaim our country together.
That is what I will be doing on Independence Day (and working and making videos, of course).
The MeidasTouch Network is so incredibly grateful for your support. It is because of you that this network now leads Fox and all cable news in views. We will always fight for you. We will always listen to you. We will always be shoulder to shoulder with you in this fight against the regime.
We ask that if you aren’t yet a subscriber, you subscribe to this Substack today. You can also gift subscriptions to others as a July 4 gift.
Your subscriptions have made this network possible.
Thank you.
We are here with you today, and we will be here with you always.
Thanks for reading.
This is just another day of sorrow, embarrassment, powerlessness, dread, disgust, disillusionment, undeserved abuse, debasement, and most of all, betrayal of everything we ever were taught about what it means to be American. The Pledge of Allegiance, written by a clergyman, is a lie through and through. I never want to hear the National Anthem sung ever again. Poor Francis Scott Key. We have been made unworthy by the ever present greedy white men who use religion as their primary weapon of oppression.
Thank you, Ben. You echoed my sentiments exactly today. I’m not going to let the fascists and their evil leaders diminish my celebration of the country that I’m fighting for today. As you said, I couldn’t be more proud of the people who know and love the America our fathers fought for. God bless the USA. ❤️🤍💙
