The fall of America and Israel and the decline of US tourism. While Donald Trump calls in the army to quell civilian riots, pushing America closer to dictatorship, Greta Thunberg's flotilla has been intercepted in international waters by Israeli forces on its way to Gaza. In this episode of The West Report, we examine the story behind the headlines, the decline in US power, both soft power and hard, under Trump, and the growing backlash against the Western establishment’s support for Israel’s military campaign. We explore: • The chilling footage and statement from the flotilla • The LA riots and Trump’s militarised crackdown • The collapse of America’s global standing • How the tide is turning against Zionism, even among former allies Featuring firsthand accounts, political analysis and media critique, this is not just about one boat, but about the collapse of credibility across governments, institutions and media. 📢 Like, share, and comment to support independent journalism.

Elon Musk has declared war on Donald Trump, claiming he handed him the election — and now he’s airing dirty laundry, including Epstein files, US government secrets, and threatening to bring the whole empire down with him. Tesla shares are crashing, SpaceX contracts collapsing, and Australia is caught. Why? Because Musk was handed access to high level confidential US Government data as part of his DOGE mandate. AUKUS, Pine Gap, Five Eyes — our security information quite possibly all now in the hands of a rogue billionaire with a grudge. Meanwhile, the US is backing genocide in Gaza, itching for a war with China, and cornering Australia into a defence tangle we can’t afford and can’t escape. This is no longer about tech billionaires and Twitter tantrums. This is about whether Australia can afford to keep pretending we’re the junior partner of a dying empire. 👀 Watch the full breakdown with Michael and Josh 📣 LIKE, COMMENT and SHARE to keep independent journalism alive Hosted on Ausha.

The Liberal and National parties have kissed, made up, and unveiled a Shadow Cabinet so absurd you’d think it was satire. Michaelia Cash in Foreign Affairs? Tim Wilson in Industrial Relations? Angus Taylor with Defence? If you’re wondering whether Australia’s future is in safe hands, this probably won’t help. Meanwhile, Labor’s quietly signing off on a $200 billion gas giveaway with no royalties and no climate sense, while the ABC deletes interviews that challenge the narrative on Gaza.

Nationals leader David Littleproud has officially pulled the plug on the Coalition agreement with the Liberal Party. But behind the headlines is a legal and political mess that no one wants to touch. Who actually owns the LNP? Can the Nationals even split without breaching their own constitution? And how did nuclear energy, supermarket reform, and dodgy phone towers become the final straw? We dig through the constitutions, the contradictions, and the chaos to unpack what this split really means and why it might be more symbolic than strategic.
