COMRADE ZOH’S PHOTOGRAPH WITH A MUSLIM EXTREMIST

Comrade Zoh, emboldened by the polls that indicate he is maintaining his double-digit lead over former NY Governor Andrew Cuomo a mere two weeks before Election Day, has upped his game. Now, he is actually flaunting his communist, pro-Islamic, anti-American, anti-Israel, antisemitic proclivities. Rather than hiding or even downplaying the foregoing he is doing just the opposite. He is making no secret of his affiliation with or even affection for Imam Siraj Wahhaj. Zoh has characterized Wahhaj as “one of the nation’s foremost Muslim leaders.” Recently, a smiling photograph of the two along with NYC Councilman Yusef was widely published in various media outlets including the NY Post. Their relationship is now out there for all to see. Comments can be “spun” or “walked back” but not a photograph.

Wahhaj is a prominent and influential African American imam in New York City with deep, significant and longstanding ties to Islamic terrorism. He is the head of the Masjid At-Taqwa mosque in Brooklyn and is a co-founder of the Muslim Alliance in North America. He is an Islamic extremist, an antisemite and a homophobe who has uttered many slurs against Jews and gays. With respect to gays and sex, he adheres to the Prophet Mohammad’s dictum that both “the one who does it and the one it is done to” should be killed.

Moreover, he is an unindicted co-conspirator of the 1993 WTC attack in which terrorists detonated a truck bomb in the North Tower’s parking garage that killed six people plus one unborn child and injured more than 1,000 others. In my view this attack was a precursor to the 9/11/01 attack on the WTC. He provided a character reference for El Sayyid Nosair, who assassinated Rabbi Meir Kahane. He has been accused of making anti-American and anti-LGBTQ comments and is reportedly an advocate for stricter Islamic law.

This is not the type of person with whom a candidate for NYC mayor should be photographed, unless he is so confident of victory that he feels it won’t matter. This may, in fact, be the case. This “in your face” photograph has triggered significant backlash from critics and political rivals, such as Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa. President Donald Trump has also weighed in characterizing it as “a disaster waiting to happen.” Of course, those who have been paying attention are not surprised. They see it as yet another affirmation of Zoh’s personal and political leanings.  

    Conclusion

    In my opinion the gaslighting of NYC voters has been so thorough that the controversial photograph is unlikely to dissuade them from voting for Zoh in the election. The Kool-Aide drinkers that support him have made up their minds. They view him as a savior who will improve their lives with free stuff paid for with other people’s money.

    Some are hoping that Curtis Sliwa will drop out of the race in which case the polls predict the race would tighten considerably, but he has continually denied he has plans to do so. The other hope is for a low turnout, but Zoh’s zealots are the type of voters who would tromp through a blizzard to vote for him. In my view we should all steel ourselves for a communist mayor and hope he doesn’t do permanent damage to NYC.

    COMRADE ZOH DOUBLES DOWN

     

    Election Day, November 4, is fast approaching. It is a mere eight weeks away. As I write this, the average of all the polls still reports Comrade Zoh with a double-digit lead over Andrew Cuomo in a crowded field and projects that he will win the election with a plurality of somewhere in the mid-forties. It appears likely that the only way he can be denied the mayoralty is for the current mayor, Eric Adams, and all the other lesser candidates to drop out and let Cuomo take him on head-to-head. Newsweek has reported that various New York political experts have opined that that would be the best chance to stop Comrade Zoh. In my opinion, Comrade Zoh might still win, but at least the non-Zohers would have a chance.

    President Trump is cognizant of the dire significance and consequence of a Comrade Zoh election. He has been trying to entice Adams to drop out by promising him a significant position in his Administration, such as an ambassadorship. As I write this, Adams, is steadfastly denying that he will drop out of the race. It appears that his opposition to Cuomo is personal as well as political. In a recent press conference, he told reporters “Andrew Cuomo is a snake and a liar. I am in the race, and I am the only one that can beat Mamdani.”

    Comrade Zoh’s radical positions and virulent antisemitism have created a quandary for prominent Dems. I believe that many of them, such as Governor Hochul, (Up)Chuck Schumer, and Hakeem Jefferies, have been reluctant to be linked to him too closely and have withheld their endorsement, because they don’t agree with his extreme far left agenda. On the other hand, they have been reluctant to criticize him for fear of offending the increasingly powerful and vocal left wing of the party.

    The premise of this blog is that Comrade Zoh does in fact win with a plurality, not a majority. In that case what happens next?

    One might hope and expect that Comrade Zoh would attempt to mitigate some or all of his policies so as to broaden his coalition, particularly if he wins with a plurality rather than a majority. However, he has made it clear that that would not be the case. In a recent interview reported in the NY Post he asserted he would adhere to his radical program (which I have described in detail in previous blogs) regardless of the size of his victory. This doubling down does not augur well.

    Conclusion

    In my view Comrade Zoh will be the next mayor of NYC. As I have said, this will be devastating to the city, the state and the country. The media keeps characterizing Comrade Zoh as a socialist. In my view that is misleadingly benign. He is a communist plain and simple.

    There is a difference between the two as I explained in my previous blog. Many of his policies are reminiscent of Cold War Soviet Russia and could have been written by Karl Marx. Already, socialism is gaining in popularity nationwide. According to a recent poll 39% of Americans have a positive view of it compared to 54% for capitalism. In my opinion most of them don’t have the foggiest idea of what socialism and communism really are and that they have failed in every instance in which they have been tried. They have just been seduced by the prospect of free stuff, not realizing that free stuff is not really free. Somewhere, somehow, someone has to pay for it.

    I don’t know howmany times I can repeat this. In my view, Comrade Zoh’s policies constitute an existential threat to the American way of life. We have always been, are, and should remain a capitalist, free enterprise nation. President Trump is right to try every legal means in his power to stop him. Let’s hope he his successful.

    COMRADE ZOH’S INNER CIRCLE AND POLICIES REVEALED

    It is going from bad to worse. It was bad enough that NYC, the nation’s largest city and longtime symbol of capitalism and free enterprise, is on the cusp of electing a communist mayor. Now, we are just learning the depth of inanity that would be in store for the city.

    My hope and expectation was that Comrade Zoh, recognizing his radical bent and inexperience in business, finance and basic governance, would, as mayor, attempt to broaden the political scope of his administration by including some more moderate and experienced advisors. Instead, the opposite appears to be the case.

    According to the NY Post Comrade Zoh’s inner circle will consist almost entirely of persons who have virtually the same limited experience and radical ideas as he does. The Post has characterized them as “30-something or even younger Gen Zers with little-to-no experience in government – but long histories of radical left-wing politics.” Apparently, there will be no moderating voices in this inner circle, no dissent, no one to try to temper some of his far-out policies. Also, there will be no one with a background of advocating for the wants and needs of the working class and disadvantaged people, which, ironically, Comrade Zoh claims to champion. There will be no healthy exchange of different ideas or courses of action. Rather, everyone will be in lockstep. In my opinion, if that comes to pass it will be most distressing for the future of NYC and its residents.

    According to the NY Post Comrade Zoh’s top advisors are not members of the working class. Like him, many of them attended private schools and were raised in wealth and privilege. In addition, they are wealthy in their own right sporting six figure annual incomes, well above the average NYCer’s salary of $58,000. Thus, they cannot possibly identify with the wants, needs and problems of the average NYCer , much less the poor, downtrodden and disadvantaged of which there are many. Their life experiences and attitudes are totally different. As an illustration, many of them have close ties to the radical billionaire George Soros and various so-called elites.

    Comrade Zoh and his supporters have gone to great lengths to disguise, downplay and mitigate many of his radical policies. I contend that many, if not most, of his supporters are not cognizant of them. In addition, I contend that most of these policies are impractical, overly costly and/or of questionable legality.

    Recently, the NY Post was able to obtain a list of some of them and published it for those who care to edify themselves. They are the following:

    1. Decriminalize all drugs, petty crimes and sex work.
    2. Expunge all convictions for petty crimes including sex work and drug offenses and immediately release everyone who is currently incarcerated for those crimes.
    3. Criminals under 26 would be charged as “youthful” offenders.
    4. Eliminate cash bail and pretrial incarceration.
    5. Close the detention facility at Rikers Island.
    6. Establish a review board that would have the authority to prosecute law enforcement officers for “misconduct.”
    7. Expunge all gang databases.
    8. Allow illegal immigrants to vote and run for political office.
    9. Restrict ICE’s access further and extend and expand sanctuary protections.
    10. Decertify banks that contract with or fund ICE.
    11. Abolish the Board of Education.
    12. Cease the creation of new charter schools.
    13. Eliminate the presence of police and safety officers in schools
    14. Guarantee tenure for teachers and eliminate standardized testing as a basis for teacher evaluations.
    15. Allocate money to promote DEI in public schools.
    16. Reparations for Native Americans and Blacks.
    17. Allow trans-minors access to transition-related care WITHOUT parental consent.
    18. Make all public transportation free.
    19. Establish government-owned and operated grocery stores.
    20. Establish government-owned and operated tech companies and utilities.
    21. Universal rent control.
    22. Avowed antisemite.

    According to the most recent polls Comrade Zoh remains the clear front-runner with former Governor Andrew Cuomo as his closest competitor. The results of an American Pulse Research & Polling survey released in August disclosed Comrade Zoh garnered 37% compared to Cuomo’s 25%. However, a recent Tulchin Research poll disclosed that in a two-man race Cuomo would defeat Comrade Zoh 52-41. Will some or all of the other candidates drop out? Your guess is as good as mine.

    Conclusion

    Voters of NYC, this is the real type of mayor and government you are on the cusp of electing. Is this what you really want? The media characterizes Zoh as a socialist. Not true.

    Socialism is a somewhat benign interpretation of his real beliefs. It is intended to disguise or mitigate his real beliefs, which have many elements of communism. Generally, it is characterized by social ownership of the means of production, as opposed to private ownership. Think Sweden. Communism goes further. It is a stateless, classless society where resources are distributed based on need.  Put succinctly, it is a society where everything is owned by everyone, and all members have equal rights to the benefits of society. Think Communist China or the Soviet Union.

    Folks, Zoh is a COMMUNIST plain and simple, and also an avowed antisemite.
