You know what’s wild? We’re living in a country where one man’s got an audience bigger than Fox News… and he can say whatever the hell he wants. No sponsors pulling strings. No billionaire donors whispering in his ear. No corporate lawyer standing over his shoulder with a red pen. That’s not just rare ya’ll it’s dangerous. Dangerous to the people who’ve been running this game so long they forgot they could lose.
And here’s the thing. You’ve seen what happens when someone with that reach speaks truth without ducking behind “both sides” bullshit. It’s like tossing a lit match in a room full of gas fumes. You can feel the shift. People start looking at each other like, Wait… we can say that shit out loud?
I’m telling you, that’s why the suits hate it. You can buy ads, you can buy airtime, but you can’t buy that kind of freedom. And when you’ve got millions hearing it unfiltered? That’s a sledgehammer to the glass walls they’ve built around the conversation.
Now, I’m not Ben but I get it. I’m building my own little corner over at www.xplisset.com, where I don’t have to kiss any rings to say what needs saying. Maybe I don’t have the Fox-beating numbers yet but every new subscriber is one more brick in a wall they can’t knock down.
So if you’re feeling that energy when Ben lights it up, understand this: the movement’s not just him. It’s you. It’s me. It’s anyone willing to speak and back up those who do. And if that scares the people in charge? Good. Means we’re doing it right.
Ben is a great modern day explainer and teacher of the Modern Oral Tradition.
It helps keep more and more people based and grounded, aware and prepared. Baring Witness and making the difficult connections.
It's like so many people have their own "Meta Narratives" which they are emotionally and reactionary reflexively defensive. Good faith, honest, passionate, empathetic, and through Journalism and analysis could form the base of a National Narrative of Resistance.
I completely agree with your comment, Ben has takenthe derelict Fourth Estate down multiple pegs.
That was brilliant writing and the truth is all over it. Thank you! You have an incredible way with words and beyond words it rings loud and clear with truth. For we are in trying times but if history tells us anything, it tells us that we must remain diligent, committed, and strong as hell to overtake the evil who's rank breath is breathing down our necks. We must never give up and never give in. Those who won our democracy, who took back our freedoms, were those who never gave up no matter the cost. How sad that we are here. Soldiers in a war within our own country. I have faith and hope that we will be victorious just like they were in the Battle of Yorktown where we secured our American independence!
Definitely, we need to regain Narrative Framework so we have a common point of reference. We HAVE to accomplish this, we cannnot go forward nor back as things stand. We need a real Populist Movement, w b ere we can distribute it knowledge on wide scale not hidden behind Ivy League Gatekeepers.
Xplisset is like anybody else who wants an elevated voice and people to listen, you gotta get your name and your link out there. I followed him, went to his website, signed up, got the verification e-mail and everything. There is enough of me to go around, I value diverse voices, xplisset is black BTW, I want to hear what he has to say, he makes great comments here on Meidas touch, I have often liked his comments. "poaching" means I am taken away from Meidas Touch, nothing is further from the truth, xPlisset becomes an addition to a voice I want to hear and not a subtraction from Meidas + , I'm still here. I can do both.
And yea these MAGGOTS think they're too big to fail...WAKE THE F UP! YOU'RE GONNA LOSE BUT IN THE END WE'RE FIGHTING FOR YOU TOO EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE TOO BLIND TO SEE IT NOW!! YOU CAN THANK US LATER AS WE SAVE EVERYONE'S BACON FROM THE CONVICTED FELON RAPIST AND HIS GOON SQUAD! WE SHALL OVERCOME!!
It'd be revelatory to be able to follow the rightist talking points BACK to where they're generated (Roger Stone's colostomy bag?) because, just as an example, I've seen wingnut fanatics claiming that Washington DCs 30-year low in city crime is ATTRIBUTABLE TO DONALD TRUMPF's EFFORTS!!!
Is this sort of dung thrown specifically to try to induce brain seizures??? I just cannot conceive of how they expect people to believe this, & then I realize that the Focks audience that you were mentioning will essentially believe anything that they're told!
We ALL need to come together and be united. I do not know who our leader should be, perhaps Governor Newsom or Governor Pritzker because they both have the fighting spirit in what we need. But we need someone with the fighting power who isn't afraid of telling Trump to go eat shit and then gather everyone together to fight them.
We need a MLK like figurehead to lead The New Civil Rights Movement. Someone who can unite all the individuals and organizations fighting against the tRump regime. We are stronger together! Who would like to see Obama lead the resistance?
Obama has too much baggage. We need new. Go for Central Casting, and I'm only half kidding. Powerful oratory and charisma needed to grab the popular attention.
The Declaration of Independence gives us the right and responsibility to change the government if it is being tyrannical. The list of reasons they fought against King George III are weirdly similar to what we are facing today. Look it up. We need all the people to fight back and rise up. I’m done skirting this issue.
Please do not fetishize the Constitution. It only allowed White Males who owned enough Property (including slaves) to be Citizens. Women were not co sidereal "people" black and Indian people were "3/5s". The Private Property Laws were written for the expressed purpose of protecting the institution of slavery.
The Constitution itself is a document to preserve Whote Supremacy.
The Freedom of the Press though, that is good, unfortunately the mainstream press have been in dereliction of duty!
You have valid points, but should consider toning it down!
My property was part of an Indian Purchase in the MASS BAY COLONY, conveyed in a DEED that made me curious to research.
Allow me to point out that WOMEN died in childbirth & it was not uncommon for a man to have multiple wives to raise the children of other women.
One of the Town's 'fathers' had 13 offspring -he died with no heirs - no child survived.
He left his fortune to the Town.
It is worth noting that the care of SLAVES was addressed in PROBATE RECORDS.
I live in an area that was the site of KING PHILIP'S WAR - interesting history!
PLYMOUTH COLONY only survived because they SHARED - you might want to research. One story I remember is that they SHARED A COW. Isn't that COMMUNISM?
Life & Society evolve.
Let's remember that it wasn't until recent history that women could have CREDIT without their husband's permission.
You can't always make blanket statements because each colony or group of settlers was unique. New York was settled for the most part with more affluent merchants, the DUTCH & evolved differently, although their was a large group of FRIENDS (QUAKERS) who were widely involved in the UNDERGROUND RAILROAD for which there is little documentation. Where do you think those rescued SLAVES went?
The media is complacent with Trump’s attacks on democracy and our lives. They are normalizing it by either not covering his decline and wacky agenda or just brushing it off as normal.
There was a time where a President wouldn’t curse on tv and if they did it was a gaffe and we were shocked. Now Trump says bullshit like Biden says malarkey and it’s fine normal behavior.
They don’t want to cover issues like healthcare and education, because that would mean Trump would fire off an all caps rant and they can’t handle that
You on the other hand will show the courage to tell us the truth.
And even if they don't care we need to tell corporate news we do not appreciate the fact that they are fine with the profanity (as well as the incoherent sentences and rambling)
It’s so jarring to hear someone in that position use that language and not a slip of tongue or something that had a humorous effect. It’s just how unserious and unable to grasp their role.
And just as bad or even worse the mainstream media supports it. I think, but am not sure that in the small local very red school that my grandchildren attend if a student said that to a teacher or another student there would be consequences. But then maybe not....
I search for MeidasTouch in Y T and listen all day at work! It keeps me focused and sane as I try to deal with the insanity happening in what we once called a great nation.
So many of the protest songs of the 60's and 70's have such new meaning today.
There will be a day that the orange blob and his goons start killing actual citizens and then there will be another civil war.
What worries me is never hearing about thousands of military or national guard folks resigning and by this time people should understand you are serving a king not a president.
I’ve always said, it’s easier to love than hate. I love you all and that’s where the strength comes from. Fight on MeidasTouch and MeidasMighty!!! Don’t ever give an inch.
Really would love to join at a 4.99 per month rate. Cannot do $13.99. Please consider adding a less expensive option . You might add thousands of new subscribers.
Sadly, they have so successfully permeated all levels of government, particularly at federal level, that trump could die tomorrow and nothing would change. We now need the entire cabinet & most of. Congress disappeared.

Good, solid post. “Sledgehammer to the glass walls they’ve built around the conversation.” Keep talking, Xplisset.
Ruthy, agreed 💯 💙

What’s wild is you trying to poach followers from Meidas Touch. Lazy.
We can have both, which is even better!
Didn't really seem that way to me.
Not to me, either. No one will abandon Meidas for you, but they add you. The more the merrier.
Me neither. Just someone sharing that they are in the fight with all of us. The more the merrier in this resistance against evil.
It’s a force multiplier and we need need to amplify these messages as much as we can.
Definitely, we need to regain Narrative Framework so we have a common point of reference. We HAVE to accomplish this, we cannnot go forward nor back as things stand. We need a real Populist Movement, w b ere we can distribute it knowledge on wide scale not hidden behind Ivy League Gatekeepers.
💥BAM! 💥 nailed it

Are you maga?
Im definitely not MAGA..
I think she was talking to Chili Vibes.
Absolutely. Lazy can only try to steal or lie.
And yea these MAGGOTS think they're too big to fail...WAKE THE F UP! YOU'RE GONNA LOSE BUT IN THE END WE'RE FIGHTING FOR YOU TOO EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE TOO BLIND TO SEE IT NOW!! YOU CAN THANK US LATER AS WE SAVE EVERYONE'S BACON FROM THE CONVICTED FELON RAPIST AND HIS GOON SQUAD! WE SHALL OVERCOME!!

The truth will help USA Let's go Meidas
This is what truth to power and not bending the knee looks like. Carry on Meidas!

But we need someone with the fighting power who isn't afraid of telling Trump to go eat shit and then gather everyone together to fight them.
Sylvia, I'm with you. Governor Newsom or Pritzker would be great leaders to fight this fascist administration.
We need a MLK like figurehead to lead The New Civil Rights Movement. Someone who can unite all the individuals and organizations fighting against the tRump regime. We are stronger together! Who would like to see Obama lead the resistance?
Obama has too much baggage. We need new. Go for Central Casting, and I'm only half kidding. Powerful oratory and charisma needed to grab the popular attention.
Obama is a fraud. He is a Mass Murderer and his actions show his support for the regime.
Makes me sad, I remember being so excited in 2008, first time Voting, when I checked the box next to Obama.
Really wish he would have a have actually mean what he said during his campaign. One of his first major actions as president was to Bail out the B
Billionaires and make MILLIONS Homeless.
Kamala Harris added to this in California, it makes me wonder if the Corporate Dems have been colluding for years with MAGA.
While I would love to see Obama lead, I think there is so much hatred with MAGA supporters, I just don't know.

EVIL is trying hard to take over the people in America. I can not believe that this is really happening.
That is so well written!!!!! ❤️

You hold the key to love and fear in your trembling hands....
They're already doing it ..
I’ve always said, it’s easier to love than hate. I love you all and that’s where the strength comes from. Fight on MeidasTouch and MeidasMighty!!! Don’t ever give an inch.
Keep up the good work you do, you are doing this country a great service. 💯%
Keep it up Ben, f**k YT for seemingly dropping Meidas in the algorithms.
Keep showing the world what is going on.

So true
Hell yeah! And Putin, too. We need a peaceful world for all.
I believe in You and the Meidas Touch Network. Family I stand with you 10 toes down My Back straight with my whole Chest Elbows up for DEMOCRACY **!**
Absolutely true. Thank you, Ben. I’m so grateful I found Meidas!
