Zohran Mamdani’s Glorious People's Republic of Brooklyn Takes Shape, Backed by Leftist-Islamist Coalition That Swears It's All About the Vibes

Comrade Zohran Mamdani

Zohran Mamdani’s political takeover of New York City was backed by a leftist-Islamist coalition, but abstract ideology only gets you so far. Plenty of the Muslim donors and voters weren’t there just for religious and racial reasons, but they hoped to reap tangible benefits from the move. And that’s where the corruption tends to come in.

Sure, everyone's been distracted by the shiny ‘free grocery store’ promises that now will take 3 years to do, but plans like this may be much closer to where the money is really going as Mamdani proposes massive rezoning of an area that has a large Muslim population. 

The City Planning Commission is referring to its new initiative as the “South of Prospect Plan” and aims to rezone the commercial corridors of McDonald and Coney Island avenues, as well as surrounding blocks, for taller buildings and more housing development.

The blocks currently feature long stretches of single-story businesses, auto body shops and low-rise homes. When I was a kid growing up in Brooklyn, I could walk to McDonald Ave. and Coney Island Ave. in five minutes. 

Four subway lines connect the neighborhood to Manhattan, and in the coming years, a new light rail line could traverse the area, providing direct access to Queens, making the Brooklyn blocks prime real estate for new housing.

And anyone owning real estate in the area, including the small houses that the mostly Bangladeshi and Pakistani Muslim occupants in the area have settled in, will stand to make tens of millions of dollars. Mazel tov, comrades!

The area south of Prospect Park overlaps with districts represented by Council members Shahana Hanif, Rita Joseph, Farah Louis and Simcha Felder.

Hanif and Joseph each said they support the plan.

Shahana Hanif is a Bangladeshi Muslim councilwoman affiliated with the DSA, and a Mamdani ally who represents the Bangladeshi settler population in the area. Diversity is our strength, especially when it comes with waterfront property values.

I certainly hope the FBI and the DOJ are going to keep a close eye on who profits from this Mamdani plan. Or, knowing how things work in New York, maybe they'll just rename it the "Equity and Inclusion Development Fund" and call it a day.

Qatar: 6,500 migrant workers died in preparation for World Cup.

Qatar -- They came from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka as migrant workers, just a small step above a slave, to help build a stadium in the middle of a desert to host the World Cup. It began 10 years ago and since then, more than 6,500 migrant workers have died, according to the UK Guardian.

The data was extracted from government sources and indicates that the mean average of weekly deaths from these five South Asian countries came to twelve since December 2010 when Doha's streets overflowed with celebrants of Qatar's victory.

Data from India, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka revealed there were 5,927 deaths of migrant workers in the period 2011–2020. Pakistan's embassy in Qatar reported an additional 824 deaths between 2010 and 2020.

Mohammad Shahid Miah, 29, from Bangladesh, died when floodwater in his room came into contact with an exposed electric cable, electrocuting him.

And the death toll quoted doesn't include figures from other countries which send large numbers of migrant workers to Qatar, such as the Philippines and Kenya, nor were the 2021 deaths included in these figures.

Over the past 10 years, Qatar has been building feverishly, mostly in preparation of the 2022 World Cup. But there are also seven new stadiums and scores of major undertakings that have been completed or are under way, such as an airport, new roads, public transport systems, a new city and hotels that will be hosting the big game.

Death records are not explicit in terms of the deceased occupation or place of work, but it's probable that many of those who died were employed on the World Cup's infrastructure projects, according to Nick McGeehan, a director at FairSquare Projects, a labor rights advocacy group. “A very significant proportion of the migrant workers who have died since 2011 were only in the country because Qatar won the right to host the World Cup,” McGeehan said.

There have been 37 deaths among workers directly linked to construction of World Cup stadiums. Of these, 34 are categorized as "non-work related" as per the event's organizing committee, who has skin in the game of not looking responsible for the deaths.

But some experts have questioned the use of the term "non-work related" is accurate as it has, at least in some cases, been used to describe deaths which have occurred on the job, including a number of migrant workers who have collapsed and died on stadium construction sites.

The findings expose Qatar’s inability or indifference to protect its 2 million-strong migrant workforce, or even investigate the causes of the high rate of death among the largely young workers, many of whom were the main breadwinners of their respective families.

In one case, Ghal Singh Rai from Nepal paid nearly £1,000 in recruitment fees for his job as a cleaner in a camp for workers building the Education City World Cup stadium. Within a week of arriving, he killed himself. 

The family of Madhu Bollapally of India never understood how the healthy 43-year old died of “natural causes” while working in Qatar. His body was found lying on his dorm room floor.

Many deaths were caused by blunt injuries due to falls from height. Others were caused by hanging, and undetermined deaths were due to decomposition of the bodies. 

The most common cause thus far, is listed as "natural deaths" often attributed to acute heart or respiratory failure.

Based on the data obtained by the outlet: 69% of deaths among Indian, Nepali and Bangladeshi workers are categorized as natural. Among Indians alone, the figure is 80%.

The Guardian has previously reported that such classifications, which are usually made without an autopsy, often fail to provide a legitimate medical explanation for the underlying cause of these deaths.

In 2019 it found that  Qatar’s intense summer heat is likely to be a significant factor in many worker deaths and the findings were supported by research commissioned by the UN's International Labor Organization. The research showed that for at least four months of the year workers faced significant heat stress when working outside.

Even the Qatar government’s own lawyers in 2014 recommended that a study be commissioned to look into the deaths of migrant workers from cardiac arrest, and amend the law to “allow for autopsies … in all cases of unexpected or sudden death.”

The government has done neither.

Since Sharia [Islamic law] is the primary source of Qatari legislation, according to their Constitution, perhaps they can use the stadiums that will be left standing after the World Cup is done for that purpose.

For example, if a Qatari Muslim woman commits adultery with a non-Muslim man [a kaffir], she can be given her 100 lashes at mid-field. If a Muslim man has an alcoholic drink, he can get his 40 lashes by the goal post of his choice.

Alleged NY Port Authority bomber's family think it was a conspiracy

The family of New York Port Authority incompetent suicide bomber Akayed Ullah, were shocked when they saw photos of him lying on the ground after his pipe bomb merely fizzled and burned him. It was then they knew it was their jihadi lying there.

Ullah's father-in-law, Zulifikar Haider worried when Akayed missed his routing call to his wife in Bangladesh on Monday. And then he heard his own wife scream.

"Even in our worst nightmares, [such as the one he had where the world recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel], we could not have foreseen this," Haider, 62, said Wednesday night. This came after two days of questioning by Bangladesh's counterterrorism police.

But Haider thinks Ullah was caught up in a "conspiracy," and Alex Jones concurs. "Those sneaky petes are everywhere," Jones said, "and I believe he had no idea that someone placed that pipe bomb on his back. After all, he had everything to live for."

Jones was later taken to a mental institution for observation . . . just kidding.

"A person who keeps roza [religious fasting in Islam], reads the Quran and goes to mosque five times a day can't do such a heinous act," Haider said, unless they're ISIS fighters, al Qaeda, Taliban Al Shabaab, Hezbollah, Hamas, and every other Islamic extremist group, you freaking idiot.

Ullah's wife, Jannatul Ferdous Jui, hid behind a curtain the her family's Dhaka home, [lest men see her beauty, gather lust in their hearts and attempt an "Al Franken"] and told the assembled infidel media that her husband is "innocent," and begged reporters and local lawyers to get him justice.

Yes, somebody covertly place that pipe bomb on his back after he built it at the electronics store where he worked. Let's not believe our lying eyes, but believe the wife of the poor burnt 'victim' of this failed attempt at killing us.

Ullah is a 27-year-old Bangladesh native living in Brooklyn since 2011. He strapped a pipe bomb to himself using zip ties and tape, but it failed to detonate fully and merely burned him in places I will not mention.


He told prosecutors that he did it "for the Islamic State," and because he was angry "with America's Middle East policies." 

Ullah and Jui married in Bangladesh last year but she stayed there to finish college and give birth to their son, who is now 6 months old. Ullah had returned to Bangladesh three times since the marriage the Dhaka Tribune reported.

"I hoped my daughter would go to the United States, and my son-in-law would then help get my son over there," Haider said, referring to chain migration policies that would allow Ullah to get a family member into the US without having to wait. 

"I no longer want my daughter to go to America. I just want our son-in-law back." And once his sentence is over, he will have his wish.

Ullah faces life in prison where he will receive three Halal meals a day and access to a gym and cable TV.

CNN fiddles with food while terrorist fizzles in NYC

A Bangladeshi living in Brooklyn tried to blow himself up along with as many infidels as possible in the area of Times Square. The 27-year-old Akayeh Ullah (his mosque buddies call him "A little dab'l do yah") had a homemade pipe bomb attached to himself with velcro and zip-ties.

The bomb didn't explode the way he intended and it ended up burning him on the arms, his abdomen, and possibly his junk (thank you Charles Darwin) and three people received minor injuries and self-transported to local hospitals.

But if you didn't know about the massive chaos going on in Manhattan as the story hit the air, you may have been watching the Careless News Network (CNN). 

They were busy covering a more important story about President Trump's diet soda consumption.

While a law enforcement official spoke to the media at 8:45 a.m., telling them that a man had a pipe bomb attached to himself when it went off on a New York City subway platform, CNN was in the middle of a segment promoting Tuesday's Election Night while a chyron below read: "NYT Report: Trump drinks a dozen diet cokes per day."

Thankfully, viewers noticed how careless CNN was covering the real news.

This can only support the fake news problem Trump points out.

Latest Information on NYC attack

Manhattan, NY -- A Bangladeshi man living in Brooklyn carried out a botched terror attack underground by the Port Authority of New York. 

The fizzle blast went off around 7:20 a.m. Monday during rush hour. 

Three other people suffered minor injuries, mainly headaches from the blast and ringing in the ears. They self-transported to local hospitals and all are expected to fully recover.

The suspect has been identified as 27-year-old Akayed Ullah. He is from Bangladesh and has been living in the Flatlands section of Brooklyn for about 7 years. He worked in an electronics store and had been a livery cab driver. Ullah came to the US on a chain migration, which is something President Trump is attempting to stop. Between 2005 and 2015, over 70 percent of immigrants migrated to the US in this way.

He wore an improvised explosive device (IED), NYPD Police Commissioner James O'Neill said. The device went off prematurely causing non life-threatening burns to Ullah's hands and torso, along with other lacerations.

The device was affixed to the terrorist's body with velcro and zip-ties. Perhaps he was out of Crazy Glue.

A second device was found on Ullah, police said.

Fortunately, Ullah is not a skilled bomb craftsman and this may have been the first device he has ever made. 

A federal law enforcement official said the device malfunctioned and didn't fully detonate. Had it done so, there likely would have been many serious injuries.

Authorities are investigating to see if this was a "lone wolf" attack, based on the rudimentary construction of the device, but is there really such a thing as 'lone wolf' when these attacks are inspired by the same entity that inspires all Islamic attacks?

The Governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo and NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio spoke at a news conference and said nothing of significance and provided nothing we already don't know about the resiliency of America and particularly New Yorkers.

Madeleine Albright, Trump's secret weapon

Former Secretary of State under Bill Clinton (but not in "that way") Madeleine Albright just may be President Donald Trump's secret weapon.

Ms. Albright has threatened to "register as Muslim" over Trump's immigration policies but we know that he doesn't really plan to register Muslims in the first place, but this supposed plan is made up by the media to stir up opposition to Trump's real policies.

But what if Albright really does become a full-blown Muslim? Wouldn't that discourage young men who may have thought of converting to Islam from pulling the trigger, so to speak? Is this the reward extremists will get from self-detonation? 

Is she the typical "virgin?" 

Trump never said that he plans to register Muslims--that's fake news--this is important to remember.

But Albright threatens to 'register' as a Muslim, as does Mayim Bialik, the actress on "The Big Bang Theory. Bialik is Jewish and Albright discovered later in life that she too has a Jewish background.

Neither Albright nor Bialik (who holds a PhD in something) seem to realize that as Jews or Christians (in Albright's case) they are described as apes and pigs in Islamic scripture and are hated.

To get a better picture of just how barbaric the religion of peace can be toward Christians and Jews, click here. 

What is wrong with Trump holding off for 120 days before we begin "extreme vetting" of people coming from countries that are known for breeding and harboring terrorists?

The only thing I would say that Trump is overlooking is that there are countries not on the list for which he wants to temporarily freeze visas and immigration. These countries include Saudi Arabia, the hub of the extreme Wahhabism that encourages violent jihad; as well as Lebanon, Jordan, Bangladesh and Pakistan. 

Ironically, all of these countries are primarily Islamic. But where Christians and other non Muslims are being persecuted and killed, Trump should make it easier for those people to gain refugee status.

In the meantime, Albright and Bialik need to remove their heads from their nether regions and acknowledge the disregard to democracy, law and order and human rights that Europe has caused to befall itself by opening its borders to poorly vetted refugees who often enough, wish them harm.

Bialik is just a stupid person with a lot of education, while Albright is more sinister.

Albright favored war with Saddam Hussein and was trying to find an excuse to start that war. In his book, Gen. Hugh Shelton (ret) then Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, gave an account in his memoirs of an exchange had with Albright. He describes a disgusting conversation they had where she states:

"I know I shouldn't even be asking you this, but what we really need in order to go in and take out Saddam is a precipitous event--something that would make us look good in the eyes of the world. Could you have one of our U-2s fly low enough--and slow enough--so as to guarantee that Saddam could shoot it down?"

Shelton writes: The hair on the back of my neck bristled, my teeth clenched, and my fists tightened. I was so mad I was about to explode. I looked across the table, thinking about the pilot in the U-2 and responded, "Of course we can . . . " which prompted a big smile . . .

"You can?" was the excited reply. 

"Why, of course we can," I countered. "Just as soon as we get your ass qualified to fly it, I will have it flown just as low and slow as you want to go." 

This is the way liberals think. Let someone else do it. Let someone else pay for it. Let someone else defend me.

Trump and Clinton on the attack

Land of the Free, but Money Doesn't Hurt, America -- Republican presidential nominee, but not really a Republican, Donald Trump, told his supporters (or Never Hillary voters) to watch the election carefully to ensure that it "is not stolen from us." 

If (heaven forbid) Hillary Clinton wins the election by receiving more electoral votes than Donald, that will translate (in Trumptonian) that the election was, indeed, stolen from him. Even if the former Worst Lady receives more popular votes as well as electoral votes, it will not matter to the Donald--he will see it as a "rigged election."

Meanwhile, Hillary attacked Donald for using Chinese steel in his construction projects. He had nothing to say about that, so it's probably true.

Trump told his troops at a rally in Wilkes-Barre Township, PA, that he wants every vote "counted 100 percent" on Election Day, and warned that voters had to be vigilant so that the presidency is "not taken away from us," or, in other words, "not taken away from me, Donald J. Trump." 

Unwilling to believe that he is losing to a lying loser, he claimed that the "system is rigged," and that there was "no way" he could possibly be down in the polls in Pennsylvania because he is loved by Pennsylvanians and they love him. 

He promised to make "three to four" campaign stops a day as the election looms closer, and may even make up to six campaign events in the final week. This should justify his claim that if he loses, the system is rigged. 

"I may be limping across the finish line, but we're going to get across that finish line," he said, implying that he plans to campaign for the presidency instead of sitting back on his haunches and waiting to win.

"Hillary Clinton is highly over-rated," he said to a crowd of people who want to make America great again in Ambridge, PA. "All crooked Hillary could do was talk about small, petty things last night . . . She wants to divide America. I want to bring us together."

"I was getting beaten up for 72 hours for inappropriate words, locker room talk, whatever you want to call it," Donald said to the crowd who wanted to call it "just words guys say when chicks aren't around.' He added, 'But Bill Clinton has sexually assaulted innocent women and Hillary Clinton was attacking those women viciously."

Finally, someone publicly said what we all knew about Hillary: she is not a real women's advocate and will say anything and do anything for her political aspirations. In other words, she's a politician. 

Trump is not. He is a TV personality and real estate mogul.

Hillary spent her first day after the debate on the campaign trail, yelling bad things about Donald at the crowd of over 50 low-information women voters. She said that "for his talk of putting America first" Donald doesn't support American industry because he buys stuff from China.

Hillary gets her pantsuits in Bangladesh.

She spoke about Donald killing jobs because he gets his steel from China, but she has never created one whereas he has created thousands of jobs.

But facts don't matter to liberals and Hillary knows it.

Republican Speaker of the House Paul Ryan said that he will not campaign for Trump. That translates into "I don't believe he's going to win." He told other House GOPers to "do what's best for you in your district." His office later said that he wasn't conceding the election's outcome, but it sure sounded like it.

Hard at work making Hillary's pantsuits

Donald tweeted in response to Ryan: "Paul Ryan should spend more time on balancing the budget, jobs and illegal immigration and not waste his time on fighting Republican nominees."

He's right about the last part, but the 'jobs' and 'illegal immigration' part isn't really in Ryan's job description. But certainly, Ryan could have merely said that Republicans in office need to concentrate on their own elections, rather than going after Trump.

Reince Priebus, the RNC chairman is sticking with Trump.

The election is less than a month away and Trump is campaigning as if his base can vote for him twice. Clinton is running as if she has the god-given right to be president and how dare anyone deny her that.

Both candidates lack humility.

Someone claims that Islam is a religion of peace

Bangladesh President Md Abdul Hamid said that "Islam is a religion of peace. All people have to remain alert so that no one can create indiscipline in society by misinterpreting religion."

This horrible "misinterpretation" has gone viral throughout the globe, it seems. So many misunderstanders of Islam are not acting in a very peaceful manner and nobody, not any government, not even Hamid's very own government, is doing anything about it.

We need more people like Hamid, Barack Hussein Obama, George W. Bush, John Kerry and even Pope Francis to show the rest of us who may think Islam is the leading cause of global terrorism, why we've got it all wrong.

Hamid is urging us to just remain calm and alert. "Islam is a religion of peace. All people have to remain alert so that no one can create indiscipline in society by misinterpreting religion," he said during a reception marking the Holy Eid-ul-Azha at Bangabhaban on Tuesday. That is the second largest religious festival for Muslims.

"No religion support militancy and terrorism . . . the main message of all religions is to ensure the welfare of people," he said, having made no connection in to all that is written in the Koran calling for terrorism and fighting infidels.

John Kerry vs a bag of rocks

Secretary of State John Kerry is a very stupid man. He's stupid because he thinks the American people are gullible and will actually believe what he just said about the media and terrorism.

Kerry wants people to be unaware of what's going on in the world of terrorism so that they don't band together and demand real action from the government. He doesn't want the public to take an honest look at the ideology behind jihad terrorism. For Kerry and the administration, it's better for them that the public is ignorant and complacent so that we don't question Obama's suicidal tactics dealing with the Islamic jihad threat that will obviously worsen as we take in more Islamic "refugees."

During Kerry's first official visit to Bangladesh and meeting with top government officials and maybe picking up a few casual shirts at a great price, he held a press conference at the Edward M. Kennedy Center in Dhaka.

There have been recent terror attacks in that country and Kerry addressed the problem of terrorism with a dramatic demonstration on how stupid he is but still is vastly overpaid. 

He preached about how the media could "do us all a service" by reducing coverage of terror attacks.

Shahada finger or his IQ

"Remember this: No country is immune from terrorism. It's easy to terrorize. Government and law enforcement have to be correct 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year," he said, using a tired, worn out cliche as if saying it for the first time. "But if you decide one day you're going to be a terrorist and you're willing to kill yourself [as if that's how Islamic jihadist think], you can go out and kill some people. You can make some noise. Perhaps the media would do us all a service if they didn't cover it quite as much. People wouldn't know what's going on."

Idiots applauded.

It sounds as if Kerry is taking his cues from the Hillary Clinton book on the media. The less we hear from them and deal with them the better.

In a free society we can laugh at John "Hair-plugs" Kerry because part of that freedom we enjoy is freedom of the press. People in power hate the scrutiny of honest journalism. Some, like Hillary Clinton, avoid it. Others like Kerry ask to see less of it.

It's getting progressively more difficult to understand how people who actually follow politics could consider voting for a liberal party who would shut down freedom of the press, free expression and our inalienable rights overall.

Brooklyn Beheading Islamic Style

Tuesday, January 8th, in the Kensington section of Brooklyn, New York, a 27 year old Islamic man named Rasel Siddiquee, had an argument with his landlord, 57 year old Mahuddin Mahmud. The argument ended with Siddiquee almost totally beheading Mahmud and burning his face. Then Siddiquee stole about $20 thousand from the victim's safe and headed out to JFK Airport where he was apprehended. Upon capture he blurted to authorities, "I killed someone today."

Mahmud was a father of three and had come to the USA from Bangladesh several decades ago. He owned a small computer business and never had problems with the law. Saddiquee lived in his basement, after arriving from Bangladesh about three years ago, and since Muslims are the second largest group of illegal immigrants in New York, it is highly likely Siddiquee fell into this category. In fact, I'd bet my Koran on it. With what happened in 2001, on September 11th, I'm at a loss to understand why illegal immigrants aren't legally dealt with.

The local papers covered the story with a heading: "Rasel Siddiquee arrested in

murder of Mahuddin Mahmud in Kensington." I believe there are more relevant issues at play, like the way the victim was killed, as well as where the murderer was from, and the fact that beheading is styled from the suggestion from the Koran that tells Muslims to "smite your enemy on the neck."

I no longer live in Brooklyn, but I was born and raised there. I grew up in the Kensington section of Brooklyn and moved back to this neighborhood about ten years ago, living across the street from the grammar school I attended as a child. 

Clearly the neighborhood changed over the years. The movie theater where I saw Jerry Lewis in person (he was not children-friendly) was now broken up into several stores--mostly 99 cent joints. The bakery we used was Bangladesh and the kulfi ice cream was delicious. One a year the Bangladeshi community had a street fair along McDonald and Church Avenues. 

But when I walked along McDonald Avenue with my Indian wife, we got what seemed to be negative stares from the locals. This was especially evident when we walked the several blocks to the street fair. Guys with Islamic sweatbands would look at us as if we didn't belong there; as if they owned the streets. It was discomforting.

My wife and I moved away three years ago, around the same time Siddiquee moved to the area. The thing about the Islamic style murder that surprises me isn't that it happened; it's that it didn't happen sooner.

I will always miss Brooklyn, but not the Brooklyn that exists today.

My latest suspense novel, Jihad Joe, is about Islamic terrorism.  The precepts of Islam are challenged by a journalist, captured by terrorists and who is destined to be killed if the American President refuses to release three Gitmo prisoners.  Of course, American policy demands we never give in to terrorists, and for Zed, the clock is ticking.
