Urgent Message from MeidasTouch Founder
Hey everyone. This is MeidasTouch founder Ben Meiselas. I’m sending you this urgent message because this is a defining moment, and we are not slowing down.
Before anything else, if you can, please become a paid subscriber right now. Independent media like MeidasTouch only exists because of people who step up when it matters. This moment matters. We need you in this fight.
Donald Trump is panicking. The Epstein fallout is exploding, and it is far worse than he ever expected. He knows the walls are closing in. That is why he is going to throw every distraction he has at the American people. He will attack independent media. He will lie nonstop. He will try to flood the zone with chaos and fear to bury the truth.
It is not going to work.
What we are uncovering in the Epstein files is damning. We are digging into them every single day. Redactions show Epstein’s lawyers communicating directly with Trump’s lawyers during the exact time period Trump claimed he cut Epstein off. That claim was false. There are co-conspirators being unlawfully hidden. The cover-up is unraveling in real time.
At the same time, Ghislaine Maxwell gave a deposition and invoked the Fifth Amendment in response to every single question. She was asked about Donald Trump. She was asked about underage girls. She was asked whether she was promised a pardon in exchange for her silence. She refused to answer because it would incriminate her. Then her lawyer said that if Trump grants her clemency, she would publicly exonerate him.
Let that sink in. That is not subtle. That is an open threat and an open bribe happening in plain sight.
Trump and his allies keep insisting they did nothing wrong and that we should all look elsewhere. That is exactly why independent media is winning right now. That is why the MeidasTouch Network is growing. Corporate news spent years protecting Trump. We do not. We dig deeper. We expose the truth. We do not flinch, and we do not back off.
This is the moment where we hit the gas. That is exactly what we are doing at the MeidasTouch Network. With your help, we are not letting up for a second. We are breaking stories. We are tracking these files. We are holding Trump and everyone involved accountable every single step of the way.
This week is historic. Pam Bondi is set to testify. The pressure is building. Trump wants this story to disappear. We are making sure it does not.
So again, if you are able, become a paid subscriber now. You are directly fueling this reporting. You are strengthening this network. You are helping make sure the truth cannot be buried.
Let’s grow this community. Let’s build this bigger and stronger than ever. Donald Trump is counting on exhaustion and distraction. We are giving him neither.
I’m going to go make a video now. Thank you for standing with us. Let’s go.
‘Grind the country to a halt’: Democratic Senator urges national strike if Trump meddles in midterms.
From The Guardian
“The Democratic senator from Arizona ,Ruben Gallego has proposed that, should Donald Trump try to sabotage the midterm elections, Americans should respond with a general strike that would “grind the country to a halt”.
“If we have to destroy the stock market to save democracy, we need to accept that and, more importantly, the richest and the most powerful people in the world and in this country need to understand that that is a real possibility. There is no economic stability without democratic stability. If you take away our democratic stability, we will take away the economic stability.”
From The Peaceful Solution:
All praise to the Senator for proposing a meaningful method to oppose the fascist takeover of the country. We need people of his stature to lead this effort.
It is past time to escalate the resistance, and this proposal would certainly do that. But for many people, if you don’t work, you don’t get paid. And for how long could most people keep it up? And with AI coming for a lot of people’s jobs, this would be the perfect opportunity for businesses to fire a lot of people.
Here’s another proposal that will work as well, without the collateral damage:
The Peaceful Solution-Part 1
How much do you want to stop His Royal Heinous and the fascist takeover of the country?
Enough that you’re willing to make a small sacrifice? Like altering your spending habits for a month or two or three? That could be all it would take to get the attention of the oligarchs (formerly known as The Robber Barons in the first Gilded Age, also The Fat Cats, The Greedy Bastards).
A brief demonstration of We, the People’s, power of the purse could persuade them to quit supporting HRH and the politicians who enable him.
We quit spending, except on essentials, businesses lose money, stock market goes down, Greedy Bastards pay attention to our demands.
Greedy Bastards own most of the politicians of both major parties. GBs start losing money, tell politicians to change course and do what We, the People want.
We are running out of peaceful options. The legislature and Supreme Court are controlled by HRH. He controls the executive branch, including the Military, Justice Department, FBI, ICE, the IRS. He controls all levers of power.
We, the people, still have the power of the purse. No one can control our spending, or lack of spending. When all else fails we can go on a spending strike until the business community stops supporting HRH and the politicians who enable him.
Economic warfare is the only thing the oligarchs, the business community will understand and act on. Call it a Surreptitious General Strike (Quiet Quitting). Go to work, do as little as possible. Stop spending money except on essentials. Quit feeding the corporate beast that supports the HRH.
Stop participating. Nearly 70% of the U.S. economy is driven by consumer spending. All of us. Hobble the economy and the stock market. Mahatma Gandhi drove the British from India by peaceful civil disobedience and economic disruption. We can stop the fascist takeover in the same way.
We can keep rehashing past and present atrocities until our access to the internet is taken away by the regime, or we can DO something!
Now is the time for this Peaceful Solution.
What did Trump say about who ICE is arresting? He’s a Friggin’ liar!
This From All Rise Adam Klasfeld:
ProPublica and CBS News published blockbuster immigration stories yesterday.
CBS News obtained Department of Homeland Security data showing how few of the people detained have criminal records: “Less than 14% of those arrested by ICE in Trump’s 1st year back in office had violent criminal records, document shows.”
