“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”- Ben Kingsley in Sneakers 1992.
Go get 'em Midas Touch. I'll be with you all the way.
Every one of your network’s videos are pro democracy which all patriotic Americans will support once they view them. However, If they are in the new Jim Jones’ cult, “MAGA”, they will end finding about how wrong they were when it’s too late! I respect every one who believes in Meidastouch. Honest people are really difficult to find today. There are no “alternative facts”! The MAGA CULT can’t handle the truth.
There could be an initial strategic response to the problem because the results of this election reveal that a significant portion of the voting population may not have realized they were voting for a convicted sexual predator and a narcissistic political predator. Many people understand, on an emotional level, the fear of having a predator in their neighborhood — a fear that often surfaces when local authorities notify residents of such individuals moving nearby. Without this notification, people might remain unaware, as predators often hide their true nature.
To empower people to make informed decisions, we need to educate them on predators’ traits and behaviors. This awareness enables them to choose how to respond effectively. One accessible way to spread this knowledge is through AI tools, like ChatGPT (ChatGPT.com).
Instead of merely telling people, we should show them. By encouraging them to consult credible sources, like ChatGPT, they can receive consistent definitions and descriptions of predator behaviors. Here's how: instruct them to ask ChatGPT, "Please define a sexual predator and a narcissistic political predator, along with 25 or more examples of their behaviors." After receiving the initial response, they should type "continue" to explore deeper layers of information by repeating the “continue” process 3 to 5 times. Try it yourself to see what insights you gain — then share this process with others!
All your Meidas Touch news outfit creates is much appreciated I put most of Meidas Touch news, you tube videos & now substack on 4-5 political pro Democracy/ resist fascism boards .every little bit helps.
It would be nice if you had a package deal with Substack and YouTube with a discount. Because I pay for Substack, but then I am expected to pay for another subscription on YouTube.
Hello. We lost a culture fight, not a political fight. Thoughts...
1. my response to anyone who asks is the following "I cried for a few days. Now I"m going to sit back and watch it implode". It surely will. Example: just today DJT, jr quoted as saying "he wants people who don't think they know better than his father". So it begins.
2. Be confident the implosion will happen.
3. Harris campaign should give whatever is leftover in war chest to dem national committee and they should run an ad for every implosion. Save those ads for mid terms and run them over and over. There will be tons of content. We can't wait 2 years to have this discussion. It must be ongoing, in real time, as bad decisions are made and implications are clear.
4. Rule 1, know your audience. If Dems don't tack to the middle we will lose. Let's win first and go from there.
Reaching out to your followers and asking them, way to go!
You will never go wrong when asking for follower input.
I have one simple request and I know it can be done.
The podcasts of the YouTube videos are posted too late on Apple Podcasts
The delay between broadcasting the YouTube Video and when that broadcast shows up on Apple Podcasts is too long.
I listen to many podcasts, primarily legal ones. On the, It's Complicated podcast with Renato Mariotti and Asha Rangappa, they said we found a new provider to more quickly upload their podcasts to Apple Podcasts.
This is important for breaking news. For breaking news you and Michael Popock often do a hot take on You Tube, but when that hot take doesn't show up in Apple Podcasts until the next day it is not exactly breaking news any more, by the time I listen to it on Apple Podcast is is old news.
I like and listen to Justice Matters with Glen Kirchner. However I stopped listening to him because of the excessive delay in getting his podcasts posted. By the time his podcast is posted up on Apple Podcasts I have already listened to 2 or 3 different podcasts that cover the same topic so his podcast is kind of irrelevant at that point. I have already consumed the news from other sources by the time he gets around to posting his podcast on Apple Podcast.
You suffer a bit from the same delay syndrome as Glen Kirchner, though not quite as bad. We podcast listeners know almost all of your effort is directed towards YouTube, however I really do not like YouTube for your content. I like podcasts better. I like the Apple Podcast app, it is better for me than using window in a window on YouTube to play a game or work on another app the same time the your broadcast is running in a small window on You Tube. I like to listen to the podcasts while I play an online puzzle for example. The Apple Podcast app is much easier for me to operate and listen to a podcast while I am playing an online jigsaw puzzle in a web browser.
I listen to a lot of MSNBC shows as podcasts. I don't watch them on tv even though i am home all day. At night I can close my eyes lay my head back on the pillow and just listen and Apple podcast does not auto play another podcast like YouTube does. I can fall asleep during a podcast and when the podcast ends there is no force feeding another podcast so I have to wake up and turn it off, like YouTube auto forces a new video after one video ends. No, when the podcast I am listening to ends, Apple Podcast just stops. I like that.
I think you already do a good job when playing clips on You Tube by saying, "And to our podcast listeners the video is showing...." I know I am giving up watching the clips you show during YouTube broadcasts, but as long as you describe the clips that is good enough for me, I don't need to see it. I have seen these characters long enough that i do not need to see Trump, just listening to your clip of him saying whatever is enough.
I also think it would be a good idea to have a once a week column where you ask viewers a question and then publish 3 guest essays the following week. The Meidas Mighty has some wonderful contributors you could mine them for additional content, content you do not have the burden of creating. You can read their essays on YouTube and add your own commentary to provide additional YouTube content. Come up with a catchy name for this maybe, "The Meidas Mighty Fight Back." "The Voice of the Meidas Mighty" I don't know just throwing these two suggestions out there.
And remember you do not have to do everything, you can assign this task of reading the submissions and ranking, you can assign this task to someone else. Then you pick the top 3.
If you want to drive viewer engagement I can think of no better way than to publish them.
It would be a real feather in the cap of any follower to have their submission published/broadcast.
Here is my proposal for the first question to followers: "Personally how has your life changed since the election?" You can probably think of something better, but I will sjtu throw that one out there.
You can have this feature on just the main Meidas Touch show or each MTN show could have this feature. Michael Popock might ask his followers, "Tell us about a court case you followed closely, the details, and the outcome." And if you get enough good viewer essay content you can carry on with follower essays the next week. Instead of posing a new question the next week, post 3 more. Be flexible. Maybe I am wrong, maybe nobody will respond but as my father always said, nothing ventured nothing gained. It is better to have tried and failed than never to have tried at all.
Thanks for being there! We know we can depend on all of you to keep us informed and not to back down. Thank you for helping us through this confusing and depressing time.
TO demand a hand recount beginning in Pennsylvania---
Please mobilize your supporters to start mobilizing phone calls and emails to all democratic governors, reps, senators and the white house--using the languaging:
We, the people, DEMAND a full audit and hand recount beginning in Pennsylvania and other blue wall and swing states. The corruption will be revealed thru a hand count.
All the numbers are wrong!
I cannot even watch you anymore because you all collapsed into fear and the wrong focus that we should have now. Please stop interpreting FALSE numbers and FALSE trends.
When we need to be demanding that the results be heavily deeply and professionally audited thru HAND RECOUNTS
of course the biggest computer techs and nations with that ability are all on Trump's side.
They can easily engineer an undetectable virus that flips a blue wave into a red wave.
WAKE UP and demand the solution!
Doing these expert interpretations using the current fake numbers IS SO NOT HELPFUL MTN.
Don't respond to a giant deception like this!
Do something to create a recount!
You have a lot of contacts that could help with this ---
We, the people, don't have the type of contacts that you do.
Please put MTN's energy into demanding a HAND recount in key states!
Thank you for providing light in a dark time and a clear voice in the din of chaos. I have stopped watching some platforms because I am not interested in handwringing and finger pointing analysis by people who ignored the warnings over the past decades about the consequences of poor policies and have a unrealistic view of what is happening in and to America.. We are in the "undiscovered country" now with its dangers and its opportunities. My suggestions are:
1) Electoral Reform opportunities: There are groups in the US, Canada and Britain working towards proportional representation for actual representative democracy and to limit the impact of money on elections and policies. In the US there is ProRep Coalition in California, in Canada there is FairVote Canada, and in Britain there is MakeVotesMatter. There are many other similar organizations, but these are the ones I am familiar with. This makes political profiteers , billionaires, and foreign bad actors sweat.
2) Make America Healthy Again: Given the evidence that obesity and some chronic diseases can be traced to additives used in the food industry it's a great opportunity to put pressure on the food industry and industrial farms regarding the use of high fruitcose corn syrup, chemical additives, preservatives, hormones, antibiotics, pesticides, herbicides, and the conditions of all food processing facilities. Also nationwide school breakfast and lunch programs. Good nutrition, sanitation practices and clean water are foundational to good health. Safe housing is too.
Don't know how effective RFK Jr would be though. His fascination with dead animals and some other reported behaviours remind me so much of a young fellow who lived with us a few years back who was a diagnosed psychotic and fascinated with dead animals. Don't think he actually killed anything. He was kind to live ones. He is poor so his life path is through prisons, not a cabinet position in the most powerful nation on earth.
3) The election numbers still niggle at me. They feel off. Trump may still have won, but the numbers should be closer. Given the sophistication and track record of cyber attacks carried out by bad actors like Russia, Iran, North Korea and China, not to mention others not publicly identified, combined with a techbro not US born and bred and who held multiple citizenships (does this meet Stephen Miller standards for America for Americans?) on speed dial with an avowed adversary of the US and NATO does make me go hmmm. It would require serious expertise, equipment, resources and connections along with the will to do any follow-up. This maybe my reluctance to accept my American cousins could be so foolish and this "reaping of the whirlwind" is the culmination of the seeds of divisiveness being sowed over decades by their fellow Americans. We will find out though "For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known".
All of you are pretty fantastic! I am figuring out how to become paid support to the network. I visit and like your Youtube under the name of healstone966.

Thank you for your efforts.
