Ben, dammit, this is the clarity people need on a Sunday morning. You’re pulling the curtain back on the huge tsunami of s*** that’s about to hit: militarized optics in our cities, economic shockwaves, Epstein files weaponized, and Congress bracing for a knife fight. The through line is power testing whether we’ll freeze or fight.

We won’t freeze. We’ve got receipts, leverage, and grassroots firepower that can’t be bought off. Keep naming it plain because sunlight is our strongest ally, and the darker it gets, the more people will look to Meidas for light. www.xplisset.com

EMERGENCY, not!. BLUE state governors hold the key to stop the assault of constituents. Too much is at risk to wait! Mobilize Blue state National Guards when threatened. Wait until then. The invasion of one state by another is a call to state Governors to mobilize their National Guards to resist an UNLAWFUL assault. The U.S. military should not accept UNLAWFUL orders, and should not be present no matter how good they are at spreading mulch and collecting trash. The sooner we get this over with, the better. This confrontation is coming. It is coming! REMEMBER JANARY 6th! They started this civil war right then. We are stronger now than we will be tomorrow. The confrontation is not a battle or a war. It is a standoff at State borders. One state would be trying to invade another. One is the offender. The other, the defender. Spare me the “you are inciting violence”. We all know TACO. Blocking a road at the border is not advocating violence, it is moving the conflict from the cities to the border, a much safer place for the state’s citizens.

Also, the gerrymander fight is on. There is a new playbook. The old rules have been struck down by the Supreme Court. We need to change the gears here as fast as possible for deadly PREEMPTIVE strikes. Newsom has moved out on this already. Who is next? Hochul. Where are you? NO EXCUSE! Change your state Constitution. Pritzker. What are you doing?

Carl who would be a organization that would be able to petition the Senate to vote to stop Trump's Crypto Executive Order allowing 401K Pensions to be invested into Crypto that Trump and his Cabinet Members like Lutnick are Pre-Positioned in both their own Stable Coins and Bitcoins to make BILLIONS off the 401K Infusion of CASH that will roll into BITCOIN ??????? THIS is the Biggest PUMP and DUMP in the History of the world and we have to STOP IT and for the sake of the 401K Pensioners and the economy !!!!!!!!!!

So I filed a Question to the EBSA about a possible ERISA Violation by Trump over this👇👇👇

We have less than 180 days to Intervene under Trump’s Crypto Executive Order and Investigate that TRUMP may be Compromised and needs to stay in Power to Sheild ALL WHO are about to Defraud all the 401K Pensioners out of their Money with the Biggest Financial Fraud Scheme in History using Crypto !!!!! The Senate needs to STOP TRUMP'S Crypto Executive Order thats Designed to Defraud 401K Pensioners !!!!!!

All the evidence of a Scam to Defraud is the "Pre-Positioning ahead of the roll-out of the Crypto Executive Order for 401k Pensions the President and his Cabinet Members are doing with their Crypto Investments, is the fact that without the Cash Infusion of 401k Pensions into Crypto, retail Investors would win their Short positions against the President's Stable coin because they can see its over valued unless Trump can get his Crypto Executive Order passed through Regulation over the next less than 180 days !!!

The Senate needs to intervene and Stop Trump's Crypto Executive Order for the sake of the entire financial system that’s backed by the 401k Pensions before the Global Elitists use Trump like a Conduit into the 401K Pensions !!!!

It is unbelievable Trump and Lutnick are this brazen to scam 401K Pensions with their Crypto investments with an Executive Order to BOOT !!!!! What this will do is Trap 401K Pensioners in Crypto once they invest and Trump and Lutnick and the network behind them Dump their Crypto once the Price goes up too $900,000 a coin from the current $120,000 causing the Price to crash back down trapping the 401K Pensioner. So, then that will cause the 401K pensioner to allocate more into Crypto to try and make the price go back up and this vicious cycle will Deplete most of the 401K Pension funds into Crypto as the Trump Lutnick Global Gang Pump and Dump away all the 401K Pension funds !!!!!!!!!! It's all laid out in this report ; https://www.disruptionbanking.com/2025/08/27/trump-family-stablecoin-minted-millions/?kuid=2e56f68d-cd30-4ab2-914f-07cc3bb980b0-1756738750&kref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.disruptionbanking.com%2F

You are right, we will not freeze, we will not relent. I am not physically able to attend protests but I try to support other attendees and I try to do other things to further the resistance. For me, and I think for many, what makes the Mighty Meidas Mighty is the encouragement we give to one another. The sharing of ideas and how we can resist is extremely valuable...for better or worse, I trust what folks here say and do little fact checking when an action is suggested that I can do. But the encouragement, the telling each other we are not alone, and that we are doing a good job I think really helps each one of us. I have been so uplifted by the courage so many have demonstrated and shared with us and if it were not for MTN I would not know any of these things were happening, I'd feel totally alone and defeated. Instead I know we are going to win!

While there are so many actions and causes that need our attention and help, I urge everyone to support the press conference of the epstein maxwel trump victims. They are speaking for all victims, and unless you have been a victim yourself or worked with victims, you have no idea how hard this is to do. More than the farmers who voted for trump and are losing their farms, more that the Latino/Hispanic communities who believed trump would help them and only deport violent members of their communities, these brave victims and all victims must get out support.

Patricia Reed's avatar

Pat Robinson, like you I do what I can every day. Every action counts.

We must all tune in to watch the Epstein press conference on Wednesday morning. I assume there are some groups tracking which programs are watched and by how many people. We need the conference ratings to show huge numbers of people are interested. I predict the administration will be setting loose a whole colony of squirrels for us to chase -distraction is their goal. Don't fall for that! We must focus !

Pat Robinson's avatar

I totally agree. I have no idea who tracks what but the more of us who watch the better regardless if anyone except MTN tracks it on youtube and can share that info with the victims and let the victims know that millions of MTN folks support them and if there are preferred places to donate to help I know thousands of us would/will. According to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center around 23% of American women have been the victim of a rape or attempted rape and 81% have reported being the victim of some form of sexual harassment or assault in their lifetime (and about 24% of men have reported being the victim of contact sexual violence in their lifetime). On the surface I ask why did so many of these women vote for trump, but I really know the answer...they have been beaten into submission either physically or emotionally and will only do what their spouses tell them to do (or other male authority figure). Much as persons in lower income brackets continue to vote against their own best interests. For now at least we can show tons of support for these victims..let them know how much we value them and their courage, and for those not ready to come forward, we get it, we understand and we still support you and we know it was not your fault and if we can help let us know how.

Mission essential is to keep up the pressure on Trump. His physical health seems to be deteriorating and 2 am tweets show that he is not sleeping very well. We need to see just how much golf he really is taking in as no one is sure how many holes he is playing. If he is just showing off by showing up dressed for golf, swinging his club a few times and getting the photo op. it would be SOP for him when he is pretending to be doing something like waving to nobody as if the crowd is only there in his dangerous little fermenting little pea brain.
