Hey MeidasMighty, this is Ben Meiselas, co-founder of the MeidasTouch Network.

MAGA is terrified of the success of the MeidasTouch Network and wants us shut down.

They want to scare us into running away.

Over the past several days, we have been targeted by vile death threats. Multiple death threats.

Over the weekend, I received a horrific message threatening me and my entire family, who were specifically named in the threat.

In addition, our staff has been targeted as well.

Here is an example of a message we just received:

As the MeidasTouch Network has become the most-watched news network in the United States and in several other countries, the death threats and harassment have ramped up.

Unfortunately, we can no longer go to the FBI for help under Trump.

We have taken a number of enhanced security precautions based on the threats we received. We have taken these matters into our own hands.

Obviously, the threats need to be taken seriously.

I don’t mean to burden you with concerning news this morning. However, I think it’s important to be clear-eyed about what we are up against now that we’ve built a media network that gets more views than Fox, Joe Rogan, and any other corporate network.

I expect these threats will accelerate as Trump continues to fail and falter.

I want you to know that while we take these threats seriously, we are not scared.

We will not be deterred from our mission.

This is something we unfortunately expected and were prepared for.

This will not slow us down at all. If anything, it will only make us work harder.

I feel a momentum taking shape in this country that is unprecedented in American history.

I feel the American people see what Trump and his oligarchs are inflicting upon this country and are not going to take it anymore.

I feel the American people will rise up in a way that will be remembered for generations.

Now is the time for strength, courage, and fearlessness.

Now is the time to push forward as a pro-democracy community.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: “Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead.”

We will win in the end and defeat MAGA, their hate, and their lies.

Yes, the United States has been deeply wounded, but we won’t abandon this fight. The death threats won’t stop us. The intimidation from the White House won’t stop us. We have you by our side, the MeidasMighty.

Over the past few weeks, we’ve made historic progress together.

That’s why MAGA is scared of us and threatening us.

Together, we’ve rebuilt the media with a ferocity to meet this moment, where people are sick and tired of empty words and rhetoric.

People demanded action, and we delivered by building a news network that beats Fox and Rogan.

We are only just getting started.

Thanks to all our subscribers on this Substack for helping build this people-powered, independent media network.

Without you, none of this would have been possible.

It’s obvious we need to keep growing—and keep growing fast.

Now is the time to put our foot on the gas.

Thank you to all subscribers for helping us grow and build this network.
