In the mold of the “Kingdom of the Kims,” a National Geographic special program on communist North Korea, a new program starring New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is about to air nationwide. He is to American socialism what Kim Il Sung is to North Korea. He is a God. The difference is that Mamdani is a Muslim who promises to unleash Iranian-style Jihad on the United States. But few people recognize the danger.
Sounding like a moderate, Mamdani’s “stated desire” is to have Jessica Tisch continue leading the city’s police department. Tisch has been the New York City Police Commissioner since November 2024.
Tisch is a billionaire heir to the Loews Corporation, raising the question of how she got to that position and whether she has the credentials to understand the fate of New York City under Mamdani.
Will the daughter of a billionaire stand up to Zohran Mamdani? She served with the NYPD Counterterrorism Bureau, but is she aware that the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) backing Mamdani has served as a cover for communist espionage operations? Does she understand the apocalyptic nature of the Iranian Shiite “Twelvers,” of which Mamdani is a member?
Equally significant, does she understand the occult roots of the modern socialist movement?
What is happening in New York City, as Mamdani assembles his team, is a terror cell in the making.
DSA member Kurt Stand, still in good standing with the organization, served prison time for operating as an espionage agent for Communist Russia and East Germany. He started out with the Young Workers Liberation League, the youth arm of the Communist Party USA.
One of my recent columns examined how another communist group, the Workers World Party, staged a meeting at Riverside Church in New York City that was draped “in Venezuelan colors and flags of resistance.” Speakers included Sara Flounders, a leading member of Workers World Party, and Tom Burke, a leading member of Freedom Road Socialist Organization.
The link to Venezuela is significant. The country’s intelligence agency is run by Cuba, with support from allies China, Russia, and Iran.
Zohran Mamdani was himself pictured with other DSA-endorsed elected officials, with Yuri A. Gala López, the Deputy Permanent Representative of Cuba to the United Nations, at the New York State Capitol in Albany, New York.
Yvan Gil, the Venezuelan Foreign Minister, was a speaker at the Riverside church event and spoke earlier at the U.N. “to defend Venezuela against Trump’s lies and U.S. Navy attacks.” Another speaker was Ana Teresita Gonzalez, the Director General of Consular Affairs, representing the Cuban Mission at the U.N.
This means that, perhaps under the cover of the United Nations, communists are working with Mamdani as he assembles his team to run New York City, looking for vulnerabilities in the city’s self-defense system. Meanwhile, Mamdani talks about free bus rides and child care, a complete diversion from their real purpose.
Not only do DSA members support regimes like Cuba and Venezuela, but the organization also wants to claim the mantle of occultism, a belief in supernatural forces, as a critical part of its origin. “French socialists invented occultism,” proclaims Jacobin writer Meagan Day. “Not Marxist socialists, mind you, but socialist séances definitely occurred.”
Jacobin is named after the Reign of Terror in the French Revolution, which used the guillotine to chop the heads off its political opponents. It is comprised of members of the DSA.
“Occultism may have emerged from utopian socialism, but so, too, did Marxist materialism,” she summarized in her Jacobin article. “Where the latter flourished, the former stood no chance at survival.”
But how “materialist” was Marx? Meagan Day is apparently unaware of Marx’s Satanism.
The book Was Karl Marx a Satanist? by Pastor Richard Wurmbrand made a persuasive case that Marx practiced Satanism and had made an actual pact with the devil. Paul Kengor’s book, The Devil and Karl Marx, contends that the “progressive” ideas let loose on the world by the father of communism are based on the otherworldly powers of darkness that Karl Marx personally embraced.
So the “spirit” of Satanism even pervades the so-called “secular” side of socialism. This is what New York City can expect.
A left-wing critic of Meagan Day by the name of Rosa Riposto contends that Marxism as practiced by those at Jacobin is characterized by a belief that “scientific socialism” will produce a savior to deliver the working class from capitalism. In other words, they are not so rational and secular as they pretend.
In practical terms, this means that Zohran Mamdani is their savior. He is also the savior promised by the Iranian-style Muslim forces of Jihad.
Whether Marx was personally a Satanist or not, Marxism drips with evil, as both the Kengor and Wurmbrand books clearly show. So does Iranian-style Jihadism. In their view, however, America is the great Satan, and Israel the little Satan. That means we are the targets.
In Mamdani’s case, he has combined Marxism with apocalyptic Islam, the kind practiced by the Ayatollah and his minions in terrorist Iran, producing a deadly mix of foreign ideologies targeting America’s financial capital.
How on earth can American law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, let him take office under these circumstances?
At least Barack Hussein Obama made an effort to conceal his Muslim and Marxist background. Mamdani wears his dangerous ideologies on his sleeve and behind his smile.
I am knocking on the door of the FBI. Is anybody home? Or are they waiting for another 9/11?
