Zohran Mamdani is a new kind of politician.

Since he is not a party insider, he is viewed as posing a challenge to the old apparatchiks of the Democratic party.

He won the party nomination for New York City mayoral candidate despite the old guard’s opposition.

Mamdani beat the party nominee, Andrew Cuomo last June.

Cuomo, a former New York state governor who was forced to resign in 2021 amid sexual misconduct allegations, is now running against Mamdani as an ‘independent’ in the November 4 mayoral election.

Mamdani’s mayoral bid has also riled up the Republican president Donald Trump, another New Yorker, who considers himself above the law.

Mamdani’s candidacy has exposed the deep convergence of interests between the establishmentarian Democrats and Republicans.

They are essentially one and the same party pursuing the same goals but with different names, as Cindy Sheehan, the former anti-war activist said.

Her 24-year-old son Casey was killed in Iraq on the first day of duty in April 2004.

The zio-billionaires are deeply concerned because Mamdani talks about the basic rights of ordinary New Yorkers, not the interests of the super-rich.

They are hell-bent on preventing him from becoming mayor.

Mamdani has built his campaign around the idea that life in New York has become too expensive.

The city has the highest number of billionaires in the world.

Yet it also has the highest number of homeless people in the United States.

What does he propose as solution?

Rent control, a higher minimum wage, free universal childcare to age five and free bus travel are some of his proposed solutions to the city’s problems.

How will he pay for these?

By taxing the zio-biilionaires.

One can begin to see why the latter would be so upset and do not want to see him become the mayor.

While Mamdani leads in the opinion polls, his opponents have resorted to smear tactics.

Race and Islamophobia have become major campaign issues.

Speaking outside a mosque in the Bronx on October 25, Mamdani criticised his opponents for bringing “hatred to the forefront”.

He said their Islamophobia not only affects him but also close to one million Muslims living in New York.

“To be Muslim in New York is to expect indignity, but indignity does not make us distinct. There are many New Yorkers who face it. It is the tolerance of that indignity that does,” Mamdani said.

On October 24, Cuomo had agreed with radio host Sid Rosenberg who suggested that Mamdani “would be cheering” if another September 11 attack occurred.

Rosenberg is a rabid anti-Muslim zionist Jew but for Cuomo to agree with his outrageous suggestion is beneath contempt.

For Cuomo—and indeed for most members of the Demorcatic and Republican parties—Mamdani is not a real American.

After all, he has not been involved in any sex scandals.

And his father Mahmood Mamdani was a well-known academic and author.

He came from Uganda where Zohran Mamdani was born.

He does not take money from AIPAC, nor does he say, “how high sir” when the non-registered pro-Israel lobby says “jump”.

He opposes zionist settlements on the West Bank and has called Israel’s slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza a genocide.

His unforgiveable sin is that he said if elected mayor, he would arrest Benjamin Mileikowsky (aka Netanyahu) if he sets foot in New York.

Since he is a Muslim born in Uganda, that by definition makes him a suspect and a potential “terrorist”.

Mamdani rejected the Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa’s statement “when he claimed that I support global jihad”.

He has faced advertisements from Super Political Action Committees that “imply that I am a terrorist, or mock the way I eat”.

Mamdani has built a coalition of young people, including many people of the Jewish faith, for his campaign.

He has more than 90,000 volunteers knocking on doors canvassing support.

While he leads in the polls, the real challenge for his enthusiastic supporters will be to bring out the people to vote on November 4.

Mamdani has raised hopes not only among Muslims and other oppressed people in the US, but also globally.

He is seen as this wonder kid—he is only 34 years old—who can challenge the entrenched American establishment.

Despite building a formidable coalition, it is important to keep in mind that if the zio-billionaires and Israel feel threatened, they will eliminate him.

If they can assassinate John F Kennedy who was the president of the United States, eliminating the mayor of a city is a minor matter for these war criminals.

Mamdani has been compared to Malcolm X. One fears a similar fate may befall him.

One should not underestimate the evil nature of the zionists and their American allies.
