Hey Meidas Mighty, it’s MeidasTouch co-founder Ben Meiselas. It’s been quite the week.
On behalf of myself and all of our staff at the MeidasTouch Network, I want to thank you for your support as the network was targeted with more death threats, harassment, and hacking attempts, which we previously shared with you.
Sadly, this has become something we’ve gotten used to, although this behavior should never be normalized.
My brothers, our families, and our staff were targeted with horrible threats and harassment.
There have been various methods used by hackers to try and break into our digital infrastructure.
The people out there who are fearful of our message are obviously getting more desperate right now. They are more desperate than ever. That’s for sure.
At every step of the way, you’ve been by our side. I know you have our back, and I hope you know we have yours. The threats don’t scare us and won’t stop our mission. If anything, they motivate us even more to grow this network bigger than ever before.
This has been a historic week in the growth of the MeidasTouch Network. We remain the top podcast in America, Canada, and several other countries. We remain the top YouTube channel in America, besting Fox, ESPN, the NBA, and all corporate news.
I am grateful our audience has grown lately, and we are moving closer to 5 million subscribers earlier than expected.
I also recognize and appreciate the immense responsibility that comes with a platform of our size.
I know the issues we report on are life-and-death issues in many cases, and I take the responsibility as the leader of this network with the utmost care and seriousness, with a devotion to the relentless pursuit of the truth—no matter the harm it places me in personally.
I recognize that being the leader of all news puts a target on our back from people like Trump and other very dangerous individuals. That’s something we always understood could happen when we quit our jobs to start this media network.
Being the top show in America and in many places around the world means our message is being heard far and wide. We work relentlessly to meet the moment and spread positivity in a world that is too often consumed by grievance and hate.
I feel more confident than ever that the tide is turning. I sense weakness from Trump and MAGA. I sense they are losing control, and more Americans are waking up. I’d like that to happen faster, of course, but I do feel it’s accelerating each day.
We have nothing to fear but fear itself, and we will fearlessly report on what is happening regardless of the threats, harassment, or whatever comes our way.
I want to end this post on a very positive note.
I want you to know that whenever you hear that MeidasTouch is the most-watched or most-listened-to show, this is an accomplishment by you. This is your victory.
We have only been able to grow at this pace without investors because of you—the Meidas Mighty—and our subscribers to this Substack.
We’ve grown this fast with your help.
Without you, we are nothing.
The most powerful catalyst out there is people power. That has made this journey together extra special.
So, it’s time we keep growing and keep fighting back every single day.
Let’s not let the haters stop us. Ever.
Let’s make history together.
Let’s restore our democracy.
Also, this weekend, we’ve set an ambitious subscriber goal for this Substack that we hope to hit to start the month of March.
If you haven’t yet subscribed to this Substack or have been waiting to subscribe, we’d love for you to subscribe now and help us grow.
You can also gift subscriptions to others.
We are always grateful for your support, no matter what!
Thanks, as always, to all of you, Meidas Mighty.
We need you guys more than ever after whatever that display by our so called president and vice president last night.
Having suffered blows standing up for democracy, decency, and truth, I continue to stand with the Meidas Mighty,
