The votes are counted. The experiment begins. New Yorkers handed the keys to the city to Zohran Mamdani. He ran as a Democrat, but his victory functions as a Trojan horse. It represents a coordinated takeover of city government by a Red-Green alliance: a fusion of his Democratic Socialist agenda with a network of stealth Islamist allies who funded his rise.
The power he grants his patrons subsumes his personal beliefs. He is the vessel, not the source. His leftist revolutionary comrades and his Islamist allies in civilizational jihad are over the moon with the unprecedented opportunity they have won. They are poised to fundamentally transform New York City into a shining example of socialist and Islamist de-construction.
“Freedom for criminals and disregard for citizens” should be the tagline of his public safety plan.
The Red agenda was the public cover. Mamdani now will have the chance to deliver a socialist utopia with policies dictated by the extremist national platform of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). This includes a $10 billion tax hike that Gov. Kathy Hochul warned would cause taxpayers to “decamp to Florida.” He promised to bring in universal rent control, a policy guaranteed to trigger a 1970s-style decay, abandonment, and decline of the city’s housing stock. New Yorkers also may get to shop at his government-run grocery stores, which likely will destroy the city’s thousands of private bodegas.
“Freedom for criminals and disregard for citizens” should be the tagline of his public safety plan. It is rooted in the DSA’s “prison abolition” ideology. This is not reform; it is dismantlement. Mamdani was a signatory to the NYC-DSA’s “Agenda for Decarceration,” which calls for eliminating cash bail, decriminalizing drug possession and prostitution, and a pledge of “no new jails.” His plan for a “Department of Community Safety” is, as opponents noted, a “backdoor code word for continuing to defund the police.” His previous calls to disband the NYPD’s elite Strategic Response Group prove his contempt for law enforcement.
The irony of this “worker’s revolution” is exemplified by its benefactors. Mamdani is a silver-spoon socialist, the son of a filmmaker and a Columbia University professor. He learned his socialism in theory at elite schools and Bowdoin, not through lived struggle. Among those who bankrolled his grassroots campaign were 260 Google employees, 78 Meta employees, and a billionaire heiress with a $250,000 Super PAC donation. They did not fund a revolution; they purchased a pet.
The “Green” network provided the ideology and financial muscle. The money trail tells the story and these radical Islamists who are ready to cash in on the victory they helped win.
Mamdani’s political mentor, Linda Sarsour, boasted that the Hamas-linked nonprofit Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) was the “largest institutional donor to the pro-Zohran PAC.” Public records confirm the connections: CAIR Action funneled money to the “Unity and Justice Fund PAC.” That political action committee dropped $120,000 into the pro-Mamdani Super PAC. This prompted former governor and mayoral race opponent Andrew Cuomo to blast Mamdani for taking money from an organization whose leader was “happy about October 7th.”
This operation exploited New York’s public financing. Staffers from the Islamic Circle of North America—a group critics identify as a South Asian Islamist branch—made donations totaling $1,300. The city’s matching funds program multiplied that contribution, turning it into $7,700 in public money.
This unqualified amateur ... now controls a $100 billion budget and the world’s most complex city.
Mamdani’s associations reveal his allegiances. He praised Imam Siraj Wahhaj—an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing—as a “pillar of the Bed-Stuy community.” He campaigned at the Islamic Society of Bay Ridge, whose imam “praised Hamas fighters and called for Israel’s annihilation.” As an assemblyman, Mamdani welcomed members of CAIR—itself an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terror financing trial—to the State Assembly chamber.
This unqualified amateur, backed by a toxic Red-Green alliance, now controls a $100 billion budget and the world’s most complex city. New Yorkers may have voted for rent freezes, but they imported a radical, anti-Western agenda. Mamdani’s progressive platform is the cover. Gracie Mansion is now a beachhead for a Red-Green alliance.
All of these known extremist elements will sweep into City Hall fully empowered to enact their agendas as the vanguard of Gotham’s first Muslim Socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani. New Yorkers asked for this, but they soon may regret it.
