Jonathan Pie proves that the post-capitalist civil war still goes on

 
As we mentioned in the beginning of 2021, since at least July 2019, we were supporting the idea that Brexit is primarily the result of a capitalist civil war. Very few people (mostly in social media), were eager to accept this theory, while several were even mocking it as some kind of crazy conspiracy theory. 
 
What puzzled us most, was the fact that even people from the global real Left were completely ignoring the capitalist-civil-war factor in Brexit equation during public debates. Many of them were seeing Brexit mainly as an angry response by the UK working class against the political and financial elites. We thought it would take forever to find someone from the Left to support the capitalist-civil-war theory.
 
We need to understand that this civil war between the capitalist factions does not come out of any substantially different ideological or political approach. Essentially, it's only a tough bargain. Capitalists just pick sides to negotiate terms and secure their position in the post-capitalist era, which already looks like a kind of 21st century corporate feudalism

We also mentioned in 2019 that the two major events as a result of this war, were the rise of Donald Trump and the Brexit vote. Both in the motherlands of neoliberalism.

What we see now in the United States with Trump, is a counter-attack by the part of the American capital against the globalist faction. The faction that is primarily consisted by the liberal plutocracy. Therefore, as the capitalist class splits, the capitalists around Trump are now taking with them the most conservative part of the American society, as they need electoral power. They have the money and their own media network. Their first big victory was Trump in the US presidency and this explains why the liberal media attack him so hard and so frequently.

On the other side of the Atlantic, we have a similar situation. The United Kingdom is probably now the most crucial field of the endo-capitalist war and the anti-globalist capitalists marked a first big victory through the outcome of the Brexit referendum.
 
We now have new evidence that everything we wrote was right. Not only the war continues in the post-capitalist era, but the post-capitalist oligarchs seem to consider the Anglo-American sphere as the most critical interconnected field for the outcome of the war.  

The liberal plutocrats found an unexpected ally in their effort to beat their rivals: Covid-19. Trump's disastrous response against the pandemic waves cost him the second term and spread waves of relief to the ranks of the liberal faction. Now, the liberal plutocrats want to get rid off Boris Johnson. The UK branch of the liberal faction found the opportunity to attack him hard on the occasion of the recent Covid-19-parties scandal.
 
And the liberal propaganda front-line weapon in the US, The New York Times, decided to assist, by recruiting the British comedian Tom Walker. Walker gained significant popularity by portraying the fictional broadcast reporter Jonathan Pie, in his YouTube videos. As we read from the NY Times recent online post:
 
                              ... when evidence began to emerge in late November that the staff at 10 Downing Street, the prime minister’s residence and the central office of government, had held a Christmas party during lockdown, people were angry, to say the least. But then, after a steady stream of breaking news made clear it was not one or two but at least 16 parties, several of which Prime Minister Boris Johnson knew about and in some cases apparently attended, that anger transformed into fury. On Thursday, four members of his staff resigned, with one citing his reference to a debunked conspiracy theory while speaking to Parliament as a contributing factor. To explain exactly why the British are so enraged with Mr. Johnson, who was already infamous for his troubled relationship with the truth, we produced a satirical Opinion Video with Jonathan Pie, a fictional broadcast reporter created and performed on YouTube by the comedian Tom Walker, whose acerbic, satirical monologues have gone viral.


Almost everything Pie says in the video is true, except it could also easily fit to the liberal class too. It's rather laughable that the liberal elites pretend that all the lies and disaster started with Trump and Johnson. They want us to forget the big lies that led to devastating wars which the liberal machine supported tooth and nail. They want us to forget that nothing changed since the financial crisis of 2008, and that under the liberal Obama, the rich became more powerful. And even today, Biden did nothing so far to help the US working class because he doesn't want to harm the interests of his super-rich liberal masters.
 
Also, there are signs in the UK that the liberal faction silently attempts to restore Blairism in full power. 
 
In the post-capitalist neo-feudal era, the liberal plutocrats want to mark a decisive victory against their rivals, win the civil war, and establish an absolute global-scale domination.

Israel is responsible for one of the cruelest genocides in modern history

UN Palestinian Rights Committee   In her address to the Human Rights Council on 3 July 2025, Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967, warned of a genocide unfolding in Gaza and the West Bank.    She described the situation as “apocalyptic,” stating that “Israel is responsible for one of the cruelest genocides in modern history.”    With over 200,000 Palestinians reported killed or injured and the real toll “far higher,” she accused Israel of dismantling humanitarian aid in Gaza, replacing it with a “so-called 'Gaza Humanitarian Foundation' [that] is nothing else than a death trap.”    She emphasized that this was not an isolated crisis but part of a decades-long “settler colonial project of erasure” that has intensified in recent months through military force, starvation, and mass displacement. Albanese condemned the deep complicity of corporate and state actors i...

Trump’s Tariff Threat on BRICS BACKFIRES— Is He Fueling the Rebellion?

GVS Deep Dive   Donald Trump just slapped a 10% tariff threat on BRICS countries — calling them “anti-American” and accusing them of trying to destroy the U.S. dollar. But instead of weakening the bloc, his aggressive posture might be doing the opposite.   GVS Deep Dive unpacks Trump’s July 2025 tariff ultimatum, the explosive Truth Social posts, and the BRICS summit response from leaders like Lula and Modi. From new financial systems like BRICS Pay to de-dollarization and sovereign trade in local currencies, the Global South is pushing back. And here’s the twist: as Trump tries to defend the dollar with threats, he may actually be accelerating the very rebellion he fears. 🎯 Why is the U.S. struggling to sign new trade deals? 🇮🇳 Will India bend under Trump’s pressure — or break away? 🌍 Is BRICS the future of global power? 📉 And what happens if the dollar really does decline?     Related:  Trump's tariffs: A unique opportunity for BRICS and the Global So...

Spying on Iran: How MI6 infiltrated the IAEA

Leaked confidential files indicate the International Atomic Energy Agency was infiltrated by a veteran British spy who has claimed credit for sanctions on Iran. The documents lend weight to the Islamic Republic’s accusation that the nuclear watchdog secretly colluded with its enemies. by Kit Klarenberg Part 2 - Langman’s name placed under official UK censorship order In 2016, Langman was named a Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George, the same title bestowed on fictional British spy James Bond. By that point, the supposed secret agent held the dubious distinction of being publicly ‘burned’ as an MI6 operative on two separate occasions. First, in 2001, journalist Stephen Dorril revealed that Langman had arrived in Paris weeks prior to Princess Diana’s fatal car crash in the city on August 31 1997, and was subsequently charged with conducting “information operations” to deflect widespread public speculation British intelligence was responsible for her death. Then, in 2005, he...
