THE PETITION OPPOSING MAMDANI'S PRESENCE AT THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY OF 9-11 HAS NOW REACHED OVER 12,000

An update from Change.org - A PETITION FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION



EXCERPT: SEE IT ALL AT THE LINK BELOW

Concerns have been raised about Mr. Mamdani’s public positions, associations, and responses to rhetoric that many perceive as hostile to these shared values. These include: A perceived reluctance to clearly and unequivocally condemn phrases such as “globalize the intifada,” which many interpret as endorsing or normalizing violence.

Support for, or associations with, individuals whose public statements or records are viewed by concerned family members as dismissive of American institutions or insufficiently critical of extremist ideologies.

Mr. Mamdani’s own father, whom he has acknowledged as having shaped his views, penned a book shortly after 9/11 in which he argued that suicide bombers should be “understood as a feature of modern political violence rather than stigmatized as a mark of barbarism.” He also argued that there was a moral equivalence between the United States and al-Qaeda.

Mr. Mamdani has praised Brooklyn Imam Siraj Wahhaj, who has been linked to radical Islam, was named as an alleged co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, and served as a character witness for the “Blind Sheikh,” who was convicted in 1995 of plotting terror attacks against the United States.

Mr. Mamdani has blamed the United States for radicalizing Anwar al-Awlaki, an al-Qaeda propagandist linked to the 9/11 hijackers. Critics have likened this to blaming victims rather than perpetrators.

Mr. Mamdani appointed Ramzi Kassem, who previously represented Ahmed al-Darbi (convicted in an al-Qaeda tanker bombing plot), as New York City’s chief counsel.

Mr. Mamdani has endorsed candidates such as Aber Kawas, who described 9/11 as an attack “a couple of people did in the context of U.S. capitalism, racism, white supremacy, and Islamophobia,” and who also expressed sympathy for Ahmed Ferhani, who pleaded guilty to plotting to blow up a Manhattan synagogue.

Mr. Mamdani recently stood with DSA primary winner Darializa Aria Chevalier, who once tweeted, “I forgot to get napkins so I just wiped my hand on the American flag behind me.”

For 9/11 families, this is not simply a public ceremony—it is a deeply personal day of mourning. The presence of individuals whose words or associations are perceived as conflicting with the solemn purpose of the event risks detracting from that focus and causing additional pain.

Given these concerns, we respectfully ask that the organizers carefully consider whether Mr. Mamdani’s participation would align with the intention of the ceremony and the expectations of the families most directly affected by the tragedy.  PETITION AT Petition · Please sign to support honoring the memory of those lost on September 11th with dignity. - United States · Change.org

REMINDER--HE'S APPEARING WEDNESDAY: NEW FAUCI DIARIES REVEAL CELEBRITY OBSESSION AT HEIGHT OF COVID CRISIS



Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Rand Paul (R-KY) released an avalanche of private Fauci diaries ahead of his expected testimony this Wednesday before a key oversight committee.

The documents shed light on the COVID adviser’s obsession with his public profile at the height of the years-long pandemic. Inside the near-daily journal entries chronicled Fauci’s nonstop media appearances on local and national outlets, reaching a level of publicity that Fauci himself couldn’t help but blush about.

7/25 This was all over local area social media, alerts, warnings, neighborhood forums, A-I CRIME RADAR sites, etc. Quite the event...here's the Yonkers Times:

At just after 9:00 pm yesterday evening, Yonkers Police officers attempted to stop a vehicle after receiving a License Plate Reader (LPR) alert indicating that a vehicle that had fled from police in New York City had entered Yonkers. As officers attempted to conduct the traffic stop, the driver refused to pull over, resulting in a brief pursuit during which the suspect vehicle struck several civilian vehicles.....MORE AT High Speed Chase Through the Bronx and Yonkers | Yonkers Times

MAMDANI--UNWELCOME GUEST--25TH ANNIVERSARY OF 9/11---NY POST ARTICLE & PETITION OPPOSING HIS PRESENCE FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION

Families of 9/11 victims want to ban Mamdani from sacred 25th anniversary ceremony at Ground Zero: ‘unwelcome guest’
By Rich Calder -Families of 9/11 victims are demanding NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani be banned from the 25th anniversary of the attacks at Ground Zero, branding him an apologist for Islamic terror whose presence would be an insult to the memories of nearly 3,000 people murdered.

“Our objection is based on his public record — his failure to meaningfully acknowledge the horror of that day, and his employment of, support for, or association with individuals who have minimized 9/11, defended terrorists, or even suggested America ‘deserved’ the attacks,” said Giovanni Galante – whose 29-year-old wife Grace Catherine Galante was among 2,977 innocents killed by al-Qaeda terrorists.

PLEASE NOTE--THE PETITION HAD OVER 10,400 SIGNATURES overnight Sunday--FIND IT AND CONSIDER SIGNING AT https://c.org/dyfVSFgrdW
