Brexit vote prevailed, the resistance is possible!

The British should expect a fierce economic war from the global financial mafia which will not accept the result so easily

by system failure

Finally, we didn't see any massive earthquakes, the planet was not occupied by extraterrestrials, the sky didn't fall on our heads. Despite the usual propaganda of fear by the known power centers inside and outside the European Union, in order to push the British people to vote against Brexit, the British have heroically chosen to abandon the EU.

Make no mistake. These are the same centers that tried to terrify the Greek people, in order to vote in favor of further brutal austerity on summer 2015. After their devastating defeat (despite that Tsipras eventually surrendered to the Brussels bureaufascists and the Berlin directorate), they have now suffered a second defeat in the UK, which will bring much more trouble to the current monstrous and repulsive European structure.

According to various sources, there will be period of at least two years before the definite "divorce" between the UK and the EU, obviously necessary for the smooth transition in the new status. Therefore, this period is expected to be exploited by the known power centers of the global financial elite.

Therefore, we may witness a fierce economic war against the British people that dared to say "NO" to the plans of the global financial oligarchy. The war will be used to spread further terror among other members of the EU that have already expressed their willing to proceed in similar referendums and walk on the British path. Besides, we have already witnessed recently a financial coup by the European Financial Dictatorship (EFD) against Greece.

The propaganda launched by the European/international establishment attempted also to equate the xenophobia and nationalism with the vote for Brexit. Several "analysts" had gone further and tried to present the British citizens who voted for Brexit as a lumpen mob which has been manipulated by the leaders of the nationalists. This absurdly simplified propaganda shows the panic of the mechanisms of the dominant system which senses the beginning of its collapse.

Indeed, many British who voted for Brexit are located in areas where the Labour Party dominates. We should not forget that Corbyn has been pushed by the Party to declare a clear support on Bremain. This shows that the citizens who voted for Brexit is not a homogeneous mob that has been manipulated by the leaders of the nationalists. Many of them are working people who have been terrified by today's Europe of brutal neoliberalism which dissolves the labor rights, the welfare state, while at the same time imposes a sado-monetarism and a cruel austerity. Their vote was a vote of resistance against this neo-Feudal Europe.

Brussels and Berlin are in constant denial. It's impossible to accept that their policies have failed miserably. It's impossible even to think that they should get rid of the bankers and the lobbyists who have occupied Brussels' corridors. The puppets of the German big capital will not retreat from current policies because they want to proceed in a Treuhand-type operation in whatever will be left eventually from the EU.

Yet, the saddest thing was that the Left permitted the extreme nationalists to appear in the front line of another big battle. The Left was absent for one more time. The Left feared that would be blamed by the mouthpieces of the system for the dissolution of this "wonderful" Europe of brutal neoliberalism. Tsipras in Greece and Corbyn in the UK were key figures of this lack of braveness by the European Left, when it should be in the front line of the struggle against this repulsive Europe.

Consequently, Nigel Farage and other nationalists across Europe grabbed the chance to steal the rhetoric of a Left which, under other circumstances, would be determined to fight. The European Left should be the one that should speak open and straight about the struggle against the bankers and the multinationals, not Farage.

Farage's disgraceful statement that victory has been achieved 'without a single bullet being fired', ignoring so demonstratively Cox's assassination, shows how dangerous the nationalists are, and the need for the Left to take the leadership of the struggle against the current European monster. Maybe the Spanish elections today will give the signal for a new start, as the moderate Iglesias is not alone inside the Leftist coalition.

Capitalism & Genocide - Yanis Varoufakis Speech at the Gaza Tribunal, 23rd October 2025, Istanbul

Yanis Varoufakis   On 23rd October, Yanis Varoufakis testified in front of the Jury of Conscience in the context of the Gaza Tribunal. His speech focused on the economic forces underpinning the genocide of the Palestinian people. In particular, he spoke on the manner in which capitalist dynamics have historically fuelled the white settler colonial project and, more recently, how the accumulation of a new form of capital - which he calls cloud capital - has accelerated, deepened and amplified the economic forces powering and propelling the machinery of genocide.

A response to misinformation on Nicaragua: it was a coup, not a ‘massacre’

There is so much misinformation in mainstream corporate media about recent events in Nicaragua that it is a pity that Mary Ellsberg’s article for Pulse has added to it with a seemingly leftish critique. Ellsberg claims that recent articles, including from this website, often “ paint a picture of the crisis in Nicaragua that is dangerously misleading. ” Unfortunately, her own article does just that. It looks at the situation entirely from the perspective of those opposing Daniel Ortega’s government while whitewashing their malevolent behavior and downplaying the levels of US support they have relied on. Her piece is an incomplete depiction of what is happening on the ground, ignoring many salient facts that have come to light and which have been outdated by recent events. The following is a brief response to Ellsberg’s main points from someone who lives in Nicaragua and has observed the situation directly and intimately: https://grayzoneproject.com/2018/08/15/a-res...

Will Mamdani manage to liberate New York from brutal neoliberalism?

globinfo freexchange    Fifty years ago, New York City was on the verge of collapse . The politicians who run the city had borrowed more and more money from the banks to pay for its growing services and welfare. But in the early 70s, the middle classes fled from the city and the taxes they paid disappeared with them. So, the banks lent the city even more. But then, they began to worry about the size of the growing debt and whether the city would ever be able to pay it back. And then, one day in 1975, the banks just stopped.   The city held its regular meeting to issue bonds in return for the loans, overseen by the city's financial controller. The banks were supposed to turn up at 11 a.m., but it soon became clear that none of them were going to appear. The meeting was rescheduled for 2 p.m. and the banks promised they would turn up. What happened that day in New York, marked a radical shift in power. The banks insisted that in order to protect their loans, they sho...

The REAL reason why Trump is attacking Latin America

Geopolitical Economy Report   The Donald Trump administration seeks to forcibly impose the US empire's hegemony in Latin America, waging war on Venezuela, imposing sanctions on Colombia's President Gustavo Petro, hitting Brazil with tariffs, and meddling in Argentina's election. Ben Norton explains how Trump and Marco Rubio are trying to cut off all western hemisphere ties with China and Russia, bringing back the colonial Monroe Doctrine, now known as the Donroe Doctrine.   

How Western media helped build and then protect the Israeli narrative that allowed a genocide to continue

globinfo freexchange    For two years, Palestinians in Gaza have been killed in 4K on all of our screens. And for those same two years, many of the Western media institutions meant to hold power to account chose silence, distortion and doubt. Newsrooms repeated Israel's allegations with no pushback, ignored the evidence of genocide even as it played out live. This isn't a story about bias or mistakes. It's a story about how Western media helped build and then protect the Israeli narrative that allowed a genocide to continue.  So, how many Palestinian lives have been lost because the world's news outlets chose to repeat Israel's narrative instead of questioning it?    From the earliest days following October 7th, Israel's talking points were treated as fact. The now disproven claims of 40 beheaded babies and the story that Hamas used Palestinian civilians as human shields revived with every bombing of a hospital or school despite the mountain of evidence that it...
