The day is coming; only two days away. While America barbecues, Epstein’s victims prepare to speak, shattering silence and forcing Washington to confront the files they fear most.
Here’s a text I sent directly to Ben & his brothers:
Ben & team: You guys are doing great work. Congratulations! But may I make a request? I have no idea what your costs & expenses are, and you no doubt must make provision for future legal expenses if & when the Rump Regime comes after you; but at least until that day, could you lower your subscription fees? At 5+ million subscribers, you are making $500,000,000–half a billion dollars—a year! Surely your expenses don’t come even close to a large fraction of that amount. Please consider lowering your fees. Obviously, you would grow your subscription base even faster if you did that. And isn’t that your ultimate goal?
Hi Chris! Thanks so much for the kind words and support — we really appreciate it. Just to clarify, subscribing is completely free! The 5+ million subscribers you mentioned are all free subscribers who get dozens of video reports and updates from us every single day. So your half a billion dollar estimate is roughly half a billion dollars off from reality.
This Substack also has a free tier where you’ll receive about 95% of the content we publish without any paywalls. For those who are able and want to support our growth, there’s also the option to become a paid subscriber here on Substack. Paid subscriptions help fuel our reporting, cover costs, and allow us to expand — but they’re never required to access the majority of our work.
We’re grateful to everyone, whether you’re a free or paid subscriber, for being part of this movement.
Thank you for clarifying, questions are legitimately being asked as MTN has grown so big. Not corporation backed, but a corporate entity itself, now? I'm not worried about MTN maintaining it's integrity, but if I came in new, I'd ask questions. This is my most expensive subscription & I'm OK with that as long as I can afford it because it's being made available, largely without barriers, for everyone who wants the best information!
One suggestion on content, which might actually increase subscribers: I would appreciate an opportunity to pick and choose which elements I want to receive. There are so many emails and not only can I not keep up with them. I'm a reader, and mostly don't watch all the videos. Just too many offerings and too many emails. Could you create a way, like with other substacks (The Bulwark comes to mind) where there's a form for us to choose offerings? Especially since you're expanding.
Very sincerely appreciate all you do in these difficult times, thank you so much.
Im so glad you posted this. I always try to make people see they dont have to pay to be a MeidasMighty! Today, I dont have to. Love you guys! Thanks for everything. You are my rock.
I like Michael Cohen, and I trust his perspective. I also have been observing, and the conclusion that I always draw after research is that he is honest.
The reason I enjoy Michael Cohen is because he a real person. He made mistakes, paid for them and chose to go in a better and different direction. I find he has a good pulse on average Americans. And an unique insight into his former boss-Trump- that few have. Lev Parnas is also an incredible resource. Same reason. Each their own, huh?
Yeah better than MC. Especially on this topic. He says he knows little on this topic other than he brags he got a sexual assault charge agains the Traitor dropped. When Tara Palmieri interviewed him he was defensive. Also, Google the Cohen / Mak phone call.
Love Michael Cohen ... and I often argue his case. I get where he's coming from and believe that now he has become a straight arrow. It happens. His insight is valuable.
Although I do appreciate that Mr Cohen has a rather unique perspective to provide, I do find him very VERY difficult to watch and so seldom do so anymore.
Let's not get distracted chasing squirrels right now when so much is at stake. Is gross intake and expenses what we need to spend time on and is it really our business? We aren't asked what we earn or how we spend our money. I'm just grateful for the work done by these men and that they share most of it freely. I have neither the skills nor the contacts to find this stuff on my own.
I believe the vast majority don’t pay otherwise you would have half a billion people chiming in the comments. Somewhere in the thousands or tens of thousands, I think.
I would subscribe to more people if it was $5 a month. I love so many different people on Substack but anywhere from$8-$11 adds up. Plus I support some on YouTube also.
On Jan 20...I went all in for MTN........since I can afford it, do not mind covering for those living on the edge..........the teachings of Jesus tell us to help those in need........Maggots teach the way of Satan.
Thank you WJB for your contribution to help spread the word on TMN. I too have trouble paying over $5. For any given page I support. There are many good informative websites out here. I love the Mighty Midas❤️✌🏼
My second go to is always IHIPNEWS....2 heroic women holding fort in a Red state that ranks 50th in almost everything.........Jen was just on CNN and MSNBC...... fighting the good fight.
I cancelled cable ,got a Roku and joined MTN for a year. Never looked back. The price of supporting for a YEAR was less than a one month cable bill. Please.
I agree... Subscribing to people who we want and need to hear from gets expensive when you are subscribing on multiple platforms. Lowering the price would help people to be able to afford it across all of the social media platforms they're on.
Subscribers are not all paid members. I subscribe to everyone of these fantastic people. But I can't be a paid member to all. Most of the time, they all get around to the same information anyway. I don't care if I cant comment on something because of a pay wall. I just read what is available and move on.
Will stay with MTN. Paid and proud of it. Thanks guys.
I have chronic long term anxiety and panic disorder. I am not trying to be a naysayer here, but I hope that these survivors get to actually tell their stories. I fear for their safety and would not put it past someone within our government or someone with an R or an I government leaning might try and create a “diversion”.
I was laid off 3xs during Biden’s term because Tech keeps offshoring jobs, so I stopped my Patreon funding to Meidas. I am not starting it again for another reason. But paying for each Substack is unreasonable. I agree a lower $ tier would be helpful for many.
Chris - the 5 million YouTube subscribers are not necessarily paying. Paying is optional but watching commercials helps the bottom line. We do what we can do.
Exactly. Subs are free. Membership cost a small fee. I only have a Youtube paid membership but read and watch all the rest and am incredibly grateful to have Murdoch-free news available in Australia.
@Chris Matthewson I'm a paid subscriber and have been since Meidas began. Every month I think about all the people who work hard and remembering they need to be paid too. It seems a small price to pay for the information we receive. JMHO.
I hope things get better for you so it doesn't seem like such a burden. I'm here for the long haul.
Yes Coop. And no one is pressuring them to do it. I dont know why you would need so many PAID anything. There is so much to read all day, how do you have a life and keep up on it all.
I think you're speaking for many. I'm not sure if this is consistent with Substack's mission, but I've been hoping that the many excellent pro-democracy contributors would get together under one virtual roof to offer all their content for one affordable monthly price.
The expense for each substack blog is part of it. The other part is - way too much to read! How about a yearly subscription price that covers all substack blogs - say $200 a year for all and every. Then we could pick some to read one day, and different ones on other days, and not feel the meed to subscribe to each blog of interest.
I did some research on Meidas Touch revenues. They get between $7K and $70K from Patreon each month. They get $320K plus from 40,000 paid subscribers on their Substack out of the 500,000 that subscribe.
I know they are trying to grow and get more people out in the field, as well as establish reporting globally. But perhaps there is a justification for lowering their monthly rate from $10 per month to $5 per month. Substack takes 10% and with 460K people subscribing who do not pay, $2,250,000 would seem like a better business decision than $360K per month. That would be a 7 fold increase in monthly income from Substack alone and it might actually attract more paid subscribers.
So while I understand that they need the money to expand, there is an opportunity to magnify their earnings at a larger and faster rate if they decrease their monthly subscription rate. What good is it if no one is going to pay it?
That information is not available on the Internet. But if you go to their website, you will see that they have 1) a website, which is an expenditure; 2) a large staff of people behind their on-air talent; 3) their main talent; 4) deals they have made with people who are working "with" them or under their umbrella - like Katie Phang for example; 5) their security; and then general day to day working expenses.
I'm not sure why you asked that question, but maybe someday Ben, Brett, & Jordy would be willing to share their expenses with everyone so that the income numbers don't look like so much profit...
Thanks Smurf,for the information. I just want to add one thing. Do you who don't want to be members ,think that the MTN should do this all for NOTHING. NO one is forcing you to pay anything. Pay or dont pay, but dont disparage them for all the hard work they do. The time they take away from their lives, to put out content. They should be compensated . Go watch MSM, Where corporations pay them out the ass, tell them what to say, and you get fake news. We all have freedom to do that. For now anyway. Choices.
The other question is, when you watch, listen or read anything that MTN publishes, do you get your money's worth? I am actually impressed that whatever they are taking in they are putting right back into their business. It was no small feat to start Meidas Canada and they are already working on Meidas Australia. That takes money... and if we all want to know what's happening in the world, and not be lied to, we are going to have to pay something for it. Meidas is not using what was once the "free" air waves. Everything they publish on requires money at some juncture, like paying to have the Internet so you can have all the other apps.
I'm guessing insurance (health and life)is one expense and whatever they have in place for personal protection for themselves and their family. That info should remain private for obvious reasons.
see my post in this thread regarding revenues. Subscribers and viewers are not the same thing on any of the social media platforms. Subscribers may be 5 million, but if there are 500 million views per month, then those people are opening and watching, reading or listening to podcasts. If they all subscribed, the revenue would increase. If they were all paid subscribers on every platform, then the revenue would explode.
All good.......The subscribers that are on the edge with money.....they can be doing so much resistance work. Worry and angst are not an option...... Now is the time to kick f'n ass....24/7..all day, every day.
You have to be kidding if you actually believe every subscriber is paying. I am a free subscriber and have been from almost the beginning. I am on a fixed income and appreciate Ben and his group allowing us access to the information at no cost. When I am able to be a paid subscriber I certainly will, but until then I fully support the effort and refer them to everyone that might be interested.
I joined here to get all of the materials but there's a separate youtube subscription and I miss pretty much everything by only being here.
These guys are doing great work and deserve to be paid big bucks, but not linking to youtube here makes me feel like y'all are doing a bit of a bait and switch. Join here oh- but you have to join there too - and over there.
It doesn't feel good, and even though I totally want to support this new news platform, I get a bad feeling every time I have to try to find your videos through FB or youtube and feel left out because I'm not on other platforms.
I literally joined this platform because I thought this was your main base and I would get everything here.
I also see that half the time my posts and comments don't stay up.
AI: While exact top earner lists change rapidly, recent estimates from early 2025 indicate that newsletters like "Letters from an American," "The Pragmatic Engineer," and "Lenny's Newsletter" were among the highest earners, potentially generating millions in annual revenue through paid subscriptions.
Other high-performing publishers mentioned include The Ankler and The Generalist, with significant earnings in fields like US politics, business, and technology.
Top Earners & Categories
"Letters from an American"
has been reported as a massive earner, with estimates of $5,000,000 in annual revenue.
"The Pragmatic Engineer"
and "Lenny's Newsletter" were also identified in early 2025 as earning at least $1 million annually.
The Ankler
and The Generalist are noted for their performance in the business category.
US politics
was identified as a particularly lucrative genre on Substack in early 2025.
Do you think Cankles Caligula will send in the SS-Gestapo to keep it open??? TacoTits is going up aginst the entire Native American population now,.......they should lock the fuckin' Maggots in AA and then seal it up.
DOD just awarded a contract worth $1.2B to a VERY small company that has no experience with correction facilities nor with running one to build a facility to house and run 5,000 immigrants in Texas at Fort Bliss. The Army & DOD will not give any info on this contract. Big companies are protesting. It’s being built like Aligator Alcatraz. The company doesn’t even have a working website & is run from the owner’s house. The guy is 77 years old who owns it. With the secrecy behind all of this, it leads me to believe that something underhanded is going on. Money laundering maybe. None of it makes sense and no one will talk about it. This regime is so fricken corrupt.
I hope these victims are being provided with security now & after the press conference so that no one can threaten or intimidate them or there loved ones after all they’ve been through over so many years of abuse, physical, emotional, psychological trauma, and humiliation.
Cheeto’s Slight of Hand Trick: Passing Extra Taxes Onto States and Americans
The Orange Cheeto and his Nazi allies in the Executive Branch are freezing federal funds to local, state, and federal agencies on the pretense of cost cutting That is now becoming obviously ludicrous that it’s about making government frugal and streamlined The Nazi party has long contended there is government waste, fraud and abuse but the cutting of civil service jobs is to facilitate privatization of government services which in effect gives his cronies opportunities to grift on Americans
Passing taxes onto states? Case in point…Cheeto cuts funding for the Revolution Wind Project begun off shore by Connecticut and Rhode Island that created 1000+ jobs and was to make Rhode Island 100% renewable energy by 2033 The most reckless of the Cheeto decision was that that funding was cut when the project was 80% completed
Or was it reckless? Or was it just Cheeto passing the federal support onto the consumers of Connecticut and Rhode Island? Just another tax that Cheeto has passed onto the states First it was tariffs adding to an already inflated economy due to the loss of the purchasing power of the dollar Then government programs like FEMA get cut so that Go Fund Me pages cover the expenses of natural disasters supported by the American people Then states will have to pick up the medical expenses in every state where people lose health care coverage and try to keep rural hospitals open Then the taxpayers of Connecticut and Rhode Island have to pick up the last 20% to complete the project
Cheeto is on the way to illegally cut passed federal subsidies to the states so he can claim that he is cutting waste fraud and abuse while he passes tax cuts for the ultrawealthy VOTE these Nazi bums out of office and start taxing the shit out of billionaires
I was sitting here reading what Michael had written and a sudden sense of horror came over me. Please, dear God, do not let anything happen to these brave women for coming forward with the truth for the first time! trump and his lackeys are meeting as to how to best lie about this. Do not believe for a second that they won't cook something up. And maxwell...what a load of bullshit...some in congress are like "oh, that is believable"...are you kidding me!?
So please people...this is what you wanted...the truth....the truth and nothing but the truth from these brave women who lived through hell as children.
Not only should the victims be heavily guarded but their families as well... I'm sure they're getting threats. They need to feel secure at all costs ‼️‼️‼️✊🏿✊✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼
I'm worried about the safety of those young women who will be speaking out this Wednesday. I hope they're all receiving security - in the form of bodyguards.
As for the victims, I hope that they all have some kind of protection, as I have a feeling that some people out there are determined to keep them silent.
Well... we all know the Chicago thing may be coming... we have to stay our attention on the Epstein files no matter what. The Chicago thing already has a bunch of people in place to fight it from the second it occurs.
These women need us to listen, believe, and fight on their behalf. Drumpf may attempt to steal the headlines, but We the People and the Viewers need to stay the course on the Epstein files. "me thinks he doth protest too much" and we need to keep holding that sword of truth over his head.
Thank you Ben and Meidas Team!!!! ❤ Love you all and you are MY NEWS people since I get the real stories!! What time on Wednesday are the Victims speaking so I can tune in. Thank you so much for fighting the Good Fight 💖🙏👍
EPSTEIN SURVIVORS' PRESS CONFERENCE, SEPTEMBER 3RD, 10:30 a.m. ET
Congressmen Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie and at least 10 Epstein survivors will speak;
Brad Edwards and Brittany Henderson, attorneys representing the survivors, are also speaking; the news conference is scheduled to take place at the House Triangle in Washington, D.C
The people involved in the Epstein cover up cannot under any circumstances allow the documents to be released and even with redaction the guilty involved with this pedophilia ring will do anything necessary to delay these documents. The only way we get an unredacted copy to actually see the names of perpetrators would be if a whistleblower came forward with an original copy. My guess will be the excuse of these documents revictimizing people and judges already paid off ready to block the release. This happened at 9/11 and the JFK events and the so called UAP disclosure which will end up happening but with a false narrative that the public will simply have to believe at face value or just disregard. The Epstein situation is simply too many powerful people and foreign countries are involved here and unfortunately all of our screaming to release them isn't any concern of the guilty involved and they have the money and the means to keep them out of our hands.
Here’s a text I sent directly to Ben & his brothers:
Ben & team: You guys are doing great work. Congratulations! But may I make a request?

Im so glad you posted this. I always try to make people see they dont have to pay to be a MeidasMighty! Today, I dont have to. Love you guys! Thanks for everything. You are my rock.
My wish is for you to stop platforming Cohen. This is why I don’t become a paid subscriber. Though I used to be top-tiered on Patreon.
I enjoy reading Michael Cohen he has an interesting perspective. Who else here has worked directly with the Mango Mussolini.
I’m a paid subscriber and I don’t really care what you make. You risk your life reporting the real news and that is worth a lot at least to me.
I have a different perspective based upon years of observation, especially most recently.
I like Michael Cohen, and I trust his perspective. I also have been observing, and the conclusion that I always draw after research is that he is honest.
Fool.
The reason I enjoy Michael Cohen is because he a real person. He made mistakes, paid for them and chose to go in a better and different direction. I find he has a good pulse on average Americans. And an unique insight into his former boss-Trump- that few have. Lev Parnas is also an incredible resource. Same reason. Each their own, huh?
Americans deserve better.
Yeah better than MC. Especially on this topic. He says he knows little on this topic other than he brags he got a sexual assault charge agains the Traitor dropped. When Tara Palmieri interviewed him he was defensive. Also, Google the Cohen / Mak phone call.
I already gave my take on Cohen. Look it up!
Love Michael Cohen ... and I often argue his case. I get where he's coming from and believe that now he has become a straight arrow. It happens. His insight is valuable.
Although I do appreciate that Mr Cohen has a rather unique perspective to provide, I do find him very VERY difficult to watch and so seldom do so anymore.
I'm a subscriber. So what's your gross intake and what are your expenses?
Let's not get distracted chasing squirrels right now when so much is at stake. Is gross intake and expenses what we need to spend time on and is it really our business? We aren't asked what we earn or how we spend our money. I'm just grateful for the work done by these men and that they share most of it freely.

Thanks Patricia. That was a rude question. Worry about the Regime stealing our tax dollars.
Excellent response, Patricia!
Don’t think all subscribers are paying
I believe the vast majority don’t pay otherwise you would have half a billion people chiming in the comments. Somewhere in the thousands or tens of thousands, I think.
I would subscribe to more people if it was $5 a month. I love so many different people on Substack but anywhere from$8-$11 adds up. Plus I support some on YouTube also.

The Parnas Perspective is excellent and so is Closer to the Edge.
That's very nice of you. I agree what you give you receive.
Freedom, peace and total respect for Mother Earth is all I ask for.
I cancelled cable ,got a Roku and joined MTN for a year. Never looked back. The price of supporting for a YEAR was less than a one month cable bill. Please.
Good for you. A win win win decision that you made. Nice job.

Great idea. That will help many people afford the cost of supporting truth. Please keep in mind that many public servants like my partner were fired by the fascists and are struggling financially: https://democracydefender2025.substack.com/p/dei-public-servant-fired
I was laid off 3xs during Biden’s term because Tech keeps offshoring jobs, so I stopped my Patreon funding to Meidas. I am not starting it again for another reason. But paying for each Substack is unreasonable. I agree a lower $ tier would be helpful for many.
It's only $10 a month (cancel at any time)
For many people that is not reachable, an idea is to request a Meidas Touch Subscription as a Birthday, Mothers day/Fathers Day gift.
I know my kids are always asking me what they can get me for a birthday/Christmas etc. gift.
Chris - the 5 million YouTube subscribers are not necessarily paying. Paying is optional but watching commercials helps the bottom line. We do what we can do.
Exactly. Subs are free. Membership cost a small fee. I only have a Youtube paid membership but read and watch all the rest and am incredibly grateful to have Murdoch-free news available in Australia.

I hope things get better for you so it doesn't seem like such a burden. I'm here for the long haul.
Chris: Just an FYI......
'Subscribers' doesn't necessarly mean PAID subscribers.
All who post here are subscribers, but I doubt even half are paid subscribers.
Yes Coop. And no one is pressuring them to do it. I dont know why you would need so many PAID anything. There is so much to read all day, how do you have a life and keep up on it all.

Then we could pick some to read one day, and different ones on other days, and not feel the meed to subscribe to each blog of interest.
I did some research on Meidas Touch revenues. They get between $7K and $70K from Patreon each month. They get $320K plus from 40,000 paid subscribers on their Substack out of the 500,000 that subscribe.
Here is their income this week, this month, this quarter: (https://us.youtubers.me/meidas-touch/youtube-estimated-earnings)
$ 78.4K
last 7 days
Estimated earnings
$ 336K
last 30 days
$ 645K
last 90 days
They also take in advertising revenue. "MeidasTouch is raking in millions of dollars in advertising revenue a year — Meiselas wouldn't say exactly how much" - https://www.npr.org/2025/08/14/nx-s1-5493541/meidastouch-rogan-trump-podcast-video
I know they are trying to grow and get more people out in the field, as well as establish reporting globally. But perhaps there is a justification for lowering their monthly rate from $10 per month to $5 per month.

So while I understand that they need the money to expand, there is an opportunity to magnify their earnings at a larger and faster rate if they decrease their monthly subscription rate. What good is it if no one is going to pay it?
Now could you do a rundown on their expenses?

Wow ....That is true simple math there.........You have a major point there........
All the subscribers are not paid subscibers as the next post says.
Every subscriber helps to beat Rogan and Faux BS in the ratings........
Am I right on that???
see my post in this thread regarding revenues. Subscribers and viewers are not the same thing on any of the social media platforms.

These guys are doing great work and deserve to be paid big bucks, but not linking to youtube here makes me feel like y'all are doing a bit of a bait and switch. Join here oh- but you have to join there too - and over there.
It doesn't feel good, and even though I totally want to support this new news platform, I get a bad feeling every time I have to try to find your videos through FB or youtube and feel left out because I'm not on other platforms.
I literally joined this platform because I thought this was your main base and I would get everything here.
I also see that half the time my posts and comments don't stay up.
Please make this all more transparent!

The ENTIRE republiKKKan House & Congress needs to be put in Alligator Alcatraz… all of ‘em
All of the ones who have committed crimes should get a taste of their own "medicine". ✌️💙🌎
Alligator Alcatraz is being shut down due to a court order.
Do you think Cankles Caligula will send in the SS-Gestapo to keep it open??? TacoTits is going up aginst the entire Native American population now,.......they should lock the fuckin' Maggots in AA and then seal it up.
OK… then put them in chains in the desert
That was appealed immediately. It'll take awhile. They've already started building a new one near Jacksonville.
DOD just awarded a contract worth $1.2B to a VERY small company that has no experience with correction facilities nor with running one to build a facility to house and run 5,000 immigrants in Texas at Fort Bliss. The Army & DOD will not give any info on this contract. Big companies are protesting. It’s being built like Aligator Alcatraz. The company doesn’t even have a working website & is run from the owner’s house. The guy is 77 years old who owns it. With the secrecy behind all of this, it leads me to believe that something underhanded is going on. Money laundering maybe. None of it makes sense and no one will talk about it. This regime is so fricken corrupt.
Trump was/is a master of real estate fraud. I'm sure he's getting a huge kick-back. Someone is, for sure.
No, we already feed and clothe them. Just fire them.
I hope these victims are being provided with security now & after the press conference so that no one can threaten or intimidate them or there loved ones after all they’ve been through over so many years of abuse, physical, emotional, psychological trauma, and humiliation.
Michael Cohen is like the energizer bunny he just keeps on writing and writing and writing.
I love it, I like text based articles from great writer.
Cheeto’s Slight of Hand Trick: Passing Extra Taxes Onto States and Americans
The Orange Cheeto and his Nazi allies in the Executive Branch are freezing federal funds to local, state, and federal agencies on the pretense of cost cutting That is now becoming obviously ludicrous that it’s about making government frugal and streamlined The Nazi party has long contended there is government waste, fraud and abuse but the cutting of civil service jobs is to facilitate privatization of government services which in effect gives his cronies opportunities to grift on Americans
Passing taxes onto states? Case in point…Cheeto cuts funding for the Revolution Wind Project begun off shore by Connecticut and Rhode Island that created 1000+ jobs and was to make Rhode Island 100% renewable energy by 2033 The most reckless of the Cheeto decision was that that funding was cut when the project was 80% completed
Or was it reckless? Or was it just Cheeto passing the federal support onto the consumers of Connecticut and Rhode Island? Just another tax that Cheeto has passed onto the states First it was tariffs adding to an already inflated economy due to the loss of the purchasing power of the dollar Then government programs like FEMA get cut so that Go Fund Me pages cover the expenses of natural disasters supported by the American people Then states will have to pick up the medical expenses in every state where people lose health care coverage and try to keep rural hospitals open Then the taxpayers of Connecticut and Rhode Island have to pick up the last 20% to complete the project
Cheeto is on the way to illegally cut passed federal subsidies to the states so he can claim that he is cutting waste fraud and abuse while he passes tax cuts for the ultrawealthy VOTE these Nazi bums out of office and start taxing the shit out of billionaires
They are busy shredding those files right now.
SO TRUE! AND FLUSHING THEM DOWN TRUMP'S GOLDEN TOILETS IN THE WHITE HOUSE!!!
This is what I am afraid of...that implicating chunks will be missing or severely redacted. How do we know Congress will get the entire thing?
Throwing them out the windows of the TackyHouse . Did anyone else see the garbage bags being thrown out the windows.
Oh yeah! We saw that! It didn't mean a thing! 😂
Lock him up! Lock him up!!
This is not about how much we pay!
I was sitting here reading what Michael had written and a sudden sense of horror came over me. Please, dear God, do not let anything happen to these brave women for coming forward with the truth for the first time! trump and his lackeys are meeting as to how to best lie about this. Do not believe for a second that they won't cook something up. And maxwell...what a load of bullshit...some in congress are like "oh, that is believable"...are you kidding me!?
So please people...this is what you wanted...the truth....the truth and nothing but the truth from these brave women who lived through hell as children.
Not only should the victims be heavily guarded but their families as well... I'm sure they're getting threats. They need to feel secure at all costs ‼️‼️‼️✊🏿✊✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼
I'm worried about the safety of those young women who will be speaking out this Wednesday. I hope they're all receiving security - in the form of bodyguards.
Keep up the great work, people.
As for the victims, I hope that they all have some kind of protection, as I have a feeling that some people out there are determined to keep them silent.
Wait until you see what that vindictive prick does to steal headlines in Chicago
Well... we all know the Chicago thing may be coming... we have to stay our attention on the Epstein files no matter what. The Chicago thing already has a bunch of people in place to fight it from the second it occurs.
These women need us to listen, believe, and fight on their behalf. Drumpf may attempt to steal the headlines, but We the People and the Viewers need to stay the course on the Epstein files. "me thinks he doth protest too much" and we need to keep holding that sword of truth over his head.
Yes. He is going to be relentless. Thats why he took days off. To gear up for his nasty attack on humanity.
Thank you Ben and Meidas Team!!!! ❤ Love you all and you are MY NEWS people since I get the real stories!! What time on Wednesday are the Victims speaking so I can tune in. Thank you so much for fighting the Good Fight 💖🙏👍
EPSTEIN SURVIVORS' PRESS CONFERENCE, SEPTEMBER 3RD, 10:30 a.m. ET
Congressmen Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie and at least 10 Epstein survivors will speak;
Brad Edwards and Brittany Henderson, attorneys representing the survivors, are also speaking; the news conference is scheduled to take place at the House Triangle in Washington, D.C
I hope they will be safe in DC. TRUMP might have them all dragged off the street by his goons.
Thank you Susan Cooper for the info! I'm on the west coast so good thing I get up at 7 lol! 🌞👍
Yes...what time on Wednesday will the victims be speaking? Thanks Jayne...this is important info!
The people involved in the Epstein cover up cannot under any circumstances allow the documents to be released and even with redaction the guilty involved with this pedophilia ring will do anything necessary to delay these documents. The only way we get an unredacted copy to actually see the names of perpetrators would be if a whistleblower came forward with an original copy. My guess will be the excuse of these documents revictimizing people and judges already paid off ready to block the release. This happened at 9/11 and the JFK events and the so called UAP disclosure which will end up happening but with a false narrative that the public will simply have to believe at face value or just disregard. The Epstein situation is simply too many powerful people and foreign countries are involved here and unfortunately all of our screaming to release them isn't any concern of the guilty involved and they have the money and the means to keep them out of our hands.
What are the ramifications if the files are shredded? We know Maxwell lied!
GUILTY!
And we know trump n his entire cabinet n administration lie every time they open their mouth’
@meidastouch you should give them a secure place and interview them Karen would be great .
Pray to God this time all will speak
TRUTH!
