Soldiers shooting picture of Jeremy Corbyn: a military coup rehearsal?

globinfo freexchange

The neoliberal regime with financial mafia at the top of its hierarchical structure must be feeling a great danger right now. That’s because there is a crucial battle taking place in the UK, one of the motherlands of neoliberalism.

On the one hand, the regime has to deal with Brexit, on the other, with Jeremy Corbyn. We have to assume that all alarms have been activated considering the ongoing smearing campaigns by the UK mainstream media against the current leader of the Labour Party.

As mentioned previously, a Labour government under the Corbyn leadership after Brexit will be much more flexible to apply progressive policies that will benefit most of the Britons. Of course, with UK's power structure and the elites still in an advantageous position - after decades of policies that limited the power of state institutions - it will not be a piece of cake. Yet, without the additional tight scrutiny of the EU neoliberal monster, it will be much easier.

The regime is feeling an additional pressure from the pro-Brexit conservatives and therefore it makes some desperate tactical moves to preserve the power of the neoliberal political center that dominated the West since the early 80s. These moves are rather typical and sloppy and reveal some degree of panic.

As a consequence, the regime increasingly reveals its undemocratic nature.

The hard core of the neoliberal West and its Latin America proxies immediately recognized Washington's puppet Juan Guaido as the 'legitimate' president of Venezuela against the democratically elected Nicolas Maduro, defying the rest of the world. The US empire extended sabotage operations against Venezuela through further sanctions, violence in the streets and electrical power cuts. Anti-Chavista propaganda continues unabated by the Western mainstream media. Trump's warhawks like John Bolton openly admit that the US companies will benefit from the rich Venezuelan oil reserves. UK has literally stolen Venezuela's gold.

At the same time, the media remain silent in front of the brutal suppression of the Yellow Vests in France. They remain silent in front of the war crimes by the US/UK/Saudi coalition in Yemen. And the corporate-controlled Western propaganda machine can't hide its relief about the fact that the neofascist Jair Bolsonaro will implement brutal neoliberalism in Brazil to the letter.

This is only a part of evidence that proves the fascist nature of the neoliberal regime behind its ‘luxurious’ facade which collapses day by day.

Yet, it seems that there is an even bigger threat against its domination: the probability of a Bernie Sanders/Jeremy Corbyn synchronization in power, which will mark the definite end of the Ronald Reagan/Margaret Thatcher awful legacy.

It seems that the regime is losing the battle of information. Typical narratives hardly work to the point that, in many cases, regime's various operatives have retired from trying to find any pretexts to justify its actions.

It also seems that the regime is running out of sustainable political options to preserve its power. Now that its fascist nature has been exposed, a 'solution' of last resort, even inside one of the motherlands of neoliberalism, should not be considered unthinkable ...

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...

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.   

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...

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...
