Trump Declares WAR On Europe - The West FALLS APART
The Video Trump Doesn't Want You To See
Everything you've been told about Trump is a lie.'....And Trump is a neoliberal extremist. How can you blame Nicholas Maduro for all the ills of American society? If you want to solve the opioid crisis, take power away from the pharmaceutical companies. Invest in health. invest in education. Make your society work in a much more human way.Trump's doing the opposite. He's ravaging American society, blaming it all on immigrants and blaming it all on official enemies like Maduro who won't give their oil at the price they want.Blame the pharmaceutical companies.Blame the lack of investment in healthcare. Blame the billionaires that are hoarding the wealth and got substantially richer under co.
The law of the jungle is
reigning supreme and it's been like that for a long time. But Trump is making
it very hard for liberal imperialists because America has been an empire and
been a brutal empire for 100 years, but it's always done it under the cloak of liberal
ideology. It's used words like rules-based order or international law.
Trump doesn't truck with
any of this stuff now. He just says what they're doing openly and he celebrates
it. Even on the case of Venezuela, he said, "We want to go in for the oil.
We're taking billions and billions of dollars worth of oil and it'll be
hundreds of billions of dollar. It'll be trillions of dollars. That's a lot of
oil. It's on its way to the United States right now....'

WATCH: ICE is Now Literally Breaking Down People’s Doors in 1930s Gestapo-Style Raids-The Humanist Report by Mike Figuredo
The scene in Minneapolis looks eerily familiar to 1930s Germany. In the aftermath of ICE’s execution of Renee Good, the ICE gestapo has threatened, harassed, assaulted, and terrorized countless others in Minneapolis and elsewhere. To boot, hordes of ICE agents are now going door to door in Minneapolis just like JD Vance said they would. In this video we’ll talk about the parallels between Germany’s 1930s gestapo and ICE. We’ll also explain why they’re ramping up their repression and why this is a ‘hair on fire’ moment for the country.

Trump, Australia and the "Rules Based" Order by Michael West with Professor Emily Crawford & Rex Patrick
Trump Plots IRAN ATTACK by Owen Jones
'Donald Trump's threatening to bomb Iran while also claiming Iran's leaders are seeking to negotiate. Now, the guy's a pathological liar, the bullshitter in chief. It's always difficult to know what's real, what isn't. But given his global rampage, including attacking Venezuela, the fact he's already attacked Iran, we should take it seriously......Ordinary Iranians are rising up because they've been sparked by an economic catastrophe that sanctions have much to do with and against the murderous theocratic regime which consolidated power by slaughtering Leftists. We're witnessing brutal repression against the Iranian people by the Iranian state. According to the organization Human Rights Access Iran, 544 have been killed so far, including 482 protesters, 47 security forces, one government official, five non-protesting civilians, eight children counted separately, 10 and a half thousand have been arrested. That's likely, all of those figures to be significant underestimates. What should we be saying on Iran if we're being politically and morally consistent?' Owen Jones

The Antony Loewenstein Podcast: The Weaponisation Of Jewish Trauma Post Bondi by Antony Loewenstein
In the first episode of 2026, Antony Loewenstein unpacks the political aftershocks of the Bondi attack and the fight now raging over how it’s being used. From the push for a Royal Commission to the weaponisation of antisemitism claims, to the shrinking space for Palestinian and Muslim voices in Australia’s cultural institutions, this is a clear-eyed look at how fear becomes policy and how dissent gets managed. Antony also breaks down the Adelaide Writers’ Week fallout and why Gaza has been pushed off the front page when it matters most.

Exposed: This is why Trump's Venezuela plan will FAIL - and blow back on...
Donald Trump claims he will
"run" Venezuela, after he bombed it and abducted President Nicolás
Maduro. However, his plan makes no sense -- and will likely blow back on the
USA. Acting President Delcy Rodríguez is still independent, and not cutting off
China. US sanctions devastated Venezuela's oil infrastructure, and its heavy
crude is expensive to produce -- and not profitable, amid a global supply glut.
Ben Norton explains.

Special Ops Vet: Venezuela Is a Testing Ground for America by Katie Halper
Military veterans Greg Stoker and Mike Prysner break down why
Mike Waltz says Venezuela is about Iran and Hezbollah, how USA's elite military
will be used against its citizenry, and what Trump is really doing in #Venezuela.
Main points:
All of this will be used against us!
Mike Waltz: Venezuela is about Iran and Hezbollah
The connections between Palestine and Latin America.
What is next for Trump’s military action?
Netanyahu wants to invade Iran
Greg Stoker is a former United States Army Ranger. He has a
background in special operations and human intelligence collection. He

and in March 2003 was part of the invasion of Iraq. After 12 months in the
occupation he became an outspoken opponent of the war, and became known for
speeches, protests, and veterans' organizing against US imperialism. Since 2015
he has been the producer & co-writer for Abby Martin's show The Empire
Files, and is also the host of Eyes Left, a socialist anti-war military
podcast. Mike is co-director with Abby Martin of the documentary Earth

The Party Line on the Bondi Royal Commission, Venezuela & Iran by Anneke Demanuele, Omar Sherrife & Jordan van den Lamb
Episode 16 - The party line on the Bondi Royal
Commission, Venezuela and Iran A big one this week. The unhinged attacks on the
Palestine movement and Anthony Albanese have continued for another week, and so
your faithful hosts do their duty to take up the cudgels against the lies once
again. Our highlight is a Canberra Times editorial calling for “rabble rousers”
to be forcibly brought before a House of un-Israelian Activities Committee. It
takes us some time to respond to a bunch of the rubbish being put forward to
justify this McCarthyist witch hunt by some of the most racist scum in
Australia. But once that’s done, we take a look at Trump’s appalling aggression
against Venezuela and what it says about international politics at the moment,
before wrapping up with a look at the heroic protest and strike wave sweeping
Iran right now with Iranian socialist Bella Beiraghi.
I spupport the Party Line on
Pateron, if you can do that too, great. If you can't do that please share. I'm

The Biggest Propaganda Campaign in Australian History? | The West Report by Michael West
Australia now has a Royal Commission into antisemitism, announced belatedly in the wake of the Bondi attacks. But how did we get here, and who shaped the agenda? We examine the terms of the RC, and the coordinated media and lobbying campaign that followed the Bondi tragedy, the role of political advocacy groups, and the pressure placed on the federal government to narrow the scope of the inquiry. To stick a PR judge in the job. We look at attempts to derail the appointment of former High Court Justice Virginia Bell, questions around the proposed terms of reference, and whether the Commission will examine all drivers of antisemitism, including political extremism, foreign influence, and institutional failures. Will it cover the behaviour and role of Israel and its proponents in Australia? We also discuss the distinction between antisemitism and criticism of the state of Israel, the use of the IHRA definition, and the implications for free speech, protest rights, and social cohesion in Australia.

shot.
Kevlar and jeans, a mask and a gun and a

You probably don't need to shoot someone in
the face to do the thing that you're
calling a job. How's work? Well, they
got us shooting women now. How's the
pay? Well, there's a bonus if you're wanting in.
How's the hours?
We shoot them in the daylight
and then we steal them away in the dark of the
night.
Only the best and the brightest.
Only the finest get to put on the sacred mask.
If you ever been fired, congrats.
You're hired for this particular task.
Now they'll circle the wagons,
drape the man in a flag, and say,
"Don't trust what your eyes can see."
They'll say, "It's her fault instead for
getting shot

USA admits it lied about Venezuela drug trafficking - while CIA supported cartels by Ben Norton
To justify bombing Venezuela and abducting President Nicolás Maduro, Donald Trump falsely accused him of leading the so-called "Cartel de los Soles". But the US Department of Justice was forced to admit that this "Suns Cartel" doesn't exist. The USA lied -- while the CIA actually has trafficked drugs in Latin America. Ben Norton reports.

Australia’s New AUKUS Protest Police | The West Report
The Australian Federal Police has quietly created
a new unit called AUKUS Command, tasked with protecting Australia’s nuclear
submarine program and Defence bases. But internal documents obtained under
Freedom of Information show its role goes further, explicitly including public
order management and planning for protest activity linked to AUKUS. In this
episode of The West Report, Josh walks through documents uncovered by Rex
Patrick for Michael West Media, revealing how protest and political opposition
around AUKUS is being framed as a national security issue. The reporting raises
serious questions about transparency, policing priorities, and the future of
the right to protest in Australia as the US and UK expand their military
presence here.

Mehdi Unpacks Trump's Venezuela Attack and What's NEXT with Mehdi Hasan and Prem Thakker on Zeteo
Mehdi Hasan and Prem Thakker talk Donald Trump's
Venezuela strikes, the US kidnapping Maduro, and more, on 'Ask the Editor.'
Donald Trump’s attack on Venezuela is brazenly illegal – but Democrats and the
mainstream media answered with stern letters and complacency, while
right-wingers like Lindsey Graham and podcaster Matt Walsh cheer ‘regime
change!’ and ‘might is right.’ “These things always backfire,” says Mehdi as he
and Prem take subscriber questions during 2026’s first episode of ‘Ask the
Editor,’ Zeteo’s weekly Q&A series. Watch the full video above to hear Prem
and Mehdi unpack the Trump administration’s latest bout of warmongering,
including:
- The
US’s track record of toppling governments: “Show me a US regime change
that’s gone well. Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Haiti, Honduras…”
- Republican
hypocrisy on the UN and international law: “I remember George Bush and
‘Mission Accomplished.’ I’m old enough to remember that.”
- Why
the 2028 Democratic nominee must run on accountability and “put the fear
of God into their Republican opponents.”
- What
this invasion may have to do with the Epstein Files
- …and
more.
