"NYC Mayor Zohran #Mamdani's office is facing backlash after a top officialscheduled a meeting with #Iran's #UN ambassador. The timing could not have been worse. State Department officials intervened after learning of the plans. #Mamdani says the meeting “was made in error.”" #corrupt #corruption #terrorism #Muslim #Muslims #Islam #Islamic #Islamism #jihad #jihadi https://archive.ph/P8NCl "I've said this before and I'll say it again. We are in a soft secession under Zohran. He considers #NewYork an independent city-state with its own foreign policy, immigration policy, and economic policy. He does not recognize the authority of the federal government except to the extent he can extract money or political wins from it. The intent is to use the resources and authority of #NewYorkCity to wage war against the federal government and the rest of the country. The #DSA is quite open about it. They're telling us what they plan to do, and Zohran is executing. Colluding with the Iranians was just another means to that end. They will collude with any and all of our enemies, because the stated goal of the DSA is to dismantle the country from within. Again, they say all of this out loud. No inferences necessary here. In this particular case, the meeting with the Iranians was sidelined by the State Department. But the intention is crystal clear, and just because a high-profile meeting was stopped doesn't mean there isn't back channel communication and cooperation happening between the DSA/Mamdani admin and the Iranians. Obviously there is. Meetings like this don't just materialize out of thin air, and ties between the DSA and Iranian-linked fronts like the People's Forum are too many to count. Now what are we actually going to do about this? We're WAY past the point that it can honestly be argued that the DSA isn't an insurgency determined to bring down the country. I really think it requires a military solution now; take this out of the corrupt civil court system and use the military to roll up the DSA and charge them as revolutionary insurgents. Do it while we still can and avoid inevitable future bloodshed." https://archive.ph/BeOoh "One quick example of the treachery: The main viewing area was Governors Island. The city sold tickets to the main stage. It quickly sold out. #GovernorsIsland was once the #USCG’s most important base. It’s a jewel of a property right off the tip of #Manhattan. Sadly, #Clinton closed the base and W donated the land to NYC. I’m told that part of that massive land donation worth tens of billions of dollars was allowing federal military access in the future. There was a minor storm the night before the parade, and Mamdani ordered the ferry that services the island closed. The storm was good luck for Mamdani, but that’s irrelevant: sources within NY DOT tell me someone close to the mayor was looking for mechanical or safety reasons to close it regardless. And the ferry system is operated by teams of extremely capable sailors and marine engineers that are fully budgeted for emergencies and fully integrated into the hazardous weather response system. There is also a small ferry line that services the island. It has nowhere near the capacity to handle a sellout crowd. I did not buy tickets (I was given access), but a friend who did told me the city informed him of the closure and said nothing about the alternative. I told him to check the small ferry, and after a long line, he made it to the island and reported back with pictures of thin crowds. I went to the Navy’s official free viewing area at the battery instead. Despite being a short walk from the Governor’s Island ferry, that alternative was not suggested to the paid ticket holders. Only a few hundred people showed up and zero effort was made to move the stage or audio/visual equipment to the alternate location. But they apparently did “try”. Or at least that was the excuse given to delay the start of the parade for hours in the blistering heat causing the small crowd who did show up to disperse. Again, I was at the primary alternate location and witnessed zero efforts to “try” anything. That small ferry line? It operates like the subway: several small boats running a fixed loop. So when questioned, Mamdani can deny fault by saying several ferries “remained operational” to the island. But the capacity was not there to handle the crowd, and the poor communication kept most people away anyway and the city absolutely has the ability to set up stages and equipment in an alternative location but made no effort." https://archive.ph/I8TBQ [cont...]
