When NYC taxi drivers went on strike in late 2021, NYS Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani (D) supported them by going on a two-week hunger strike in front of City Hall. Meanwhile NYS Governor Mario Cuomo (D) was forced to resign because of NYS AG Letitia James' report about his horrendous sexual misconduct (published 3 Aug 2021), as well as his misrepresenting the number of COVID deaths in NYS nursing homes which resulted in him returning his cherished Emmy Award.

And an FBI report included in the DOJ's release includes a source who claims that an Italian cybersecurity figure described as "Epstein's Hacker" may have held a Vatican City passport.

Robert Maxwell, Ghislaine's good-for-nothing oligarchic father, was suspected by the UK security services as spying for both Russia and Israel. He taught his creepy daughter well. American traitor Jonathan Pollard also shopped his services to Israel and another country.

Both Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein had Israeli passports in their possession when arrested.

FBI CHS: Vatican City Penetrated

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) pledged that he would order the NYPD to arrest ICC-indicted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu should he step into NYC jurisdiction. NYPD detectives would take the INTERPOL Red Notice for Netanyahu which is diffused into the NCIC/NLETS system to a judge who would then issue a bench warrant for his arrest in accordance with international law. If NYPD detectives go to a federal judge, the same process applies, except the US Marshal Service or other federal agencies would then effect the arrest should the magistrate sign the bench warrant.

Mayor Mamdani pledged the same treatment would apply to ICC-indicted war criminal Russia President Vladimir Putin. Canada PM Mark Carney also stated he would order the arrest of these two international malefactors should they step foot onto Canadian soil in accordance with international law.

On 12 March 2025 in Albany NY, then-NYS Assemblyman and NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani shouted at the repugnant Tom Homan, "border czar," over the Trumpf junta's inhumane crackdown on illegal immigration and the unlawful detention of Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University graduate student and pro-Palestinian Samaritan.

"How many more New Yorkers will you detain? How many more New Yorkers without charge?" the Bronx High School of Science yelled.

"Do you believe in the First Amendment, Tom Homan?"

Zohran said the obnoxious lickspittle Homan smirked at him when confronted.

Principle, character, and morality matter.

"Super-billionaire Thomas Pritzker sniveled that he has "regret" over his connection to the notorious Jeffrey Epstein and his disgusting accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.

Epstein plead guilty to state criminal charges related to soliciting prostitution, including one charge involving a minor, in Florida in 2008. In 2019, he allegedly killed himself in nearly impossible circumstance in a federal prison cell after being arrested for federal child sex trafficking charges.

Recently released files show Pritzker and Epstein exchanged friendly emails after the disgraced financier's 2008 plea deal. Being part of the release of thousands of documents and photos does not imply any wrongdoing.

"I exercised terrible judgment in maintaining contact with them, and there is no excuse for failing to distance myself sooner," Pritzker whined. "I condemn the actions and the harm caused by Epstein and Maxwell and I feel deep sorrow for the pain they inflicted on their victims."

In a legal deposition, the late Virginia Roberts Giuffre accused Thomas Pritzker of serious sexual allegations, naming him as one of several men she was trafficked to have sex with. In her book Nobody's Girl, Virginia wrote about "Billionaire One" and "Billionaire Two," but omitted their names out of fear for her mortal life and the lives of her family. Thomas Pritzker is one the wealthiest men on the planet and cousin to JB Pritzker, the Democratic governor of Illinois.


Mega-oligarch Thomas Pritzker, who never worked a day in his life, inherited a massive fortune, attended the best schools, ate the finest foods, and traveled the world in First Class or Concorde. This good-for-nothing reprobate lavishes himself with a net worth of $3.1 billion dollars.

Below, the late Virginia Roberts Giuffre when she was an underage sex slave for Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. One of Virginia's last wishes was that the monstrous Ghislaine Maxwell never see the light of day again.


The Iranian regime and their nuclear program today is what it is thanks to the West.

Huh?

Iran is a multi-ethnic country (Persian, Azeri, Turkmen, Kurd, Armenian, Baluch, Assyrian) that is a predominantly Shia with a Sunni minority and smaller Christian, Zoroastrian, and Jewish communities.

To keep this oil-rich, post-World War Two artificial construct a viable pro-West country together without ethnic fracturing required an authoritarian system.

When a socialist won the national election in 1953 and threatened to national the oil industry for the benefit of the Iranian people, CIA and the UK overthrew Mohammad Mossadegh and installed the Shah of Iran.

This puppet now sitting atop the Peacock Throne then stylized himself as the "Kemal Ataturk" of Iran and underwent a modernization program for his country.

But Kemal Pasha was not an installed satrap of Turkiye like the Shah. Ataturk was a beloved war hero ("ghazi") who saved the country from dismemberment by the Allies and the Greeks. Ataturk's later repressions against occasional flare-ups by the Zazas, Whirling Dervishes, or the Kurds were easily forgiven by his own people.

So from 1953 to 1978, the US looked away from the Shah's brutal intolerance of dissent. He had seen Ataturk do the same in neighboring Turkiye, but to a lesser degree. The US and the Mossad trained his secret police, the SAVAK. This is why the Mossad and the IRGC-QF knew each other quite well.

The SAVAK's crushing of dissent from 1953 to 1978 led to a vacuum of academics, socialists, and civil society intermediaries, leaving only religious leaders intact. One firebrand was previously exiled to France named Khomeini. When the decrepit Peacock Throne finally collapsed, only theocrats were around to replace the Ancien Regime and the Ayatollah arrived in Tehran on 1 Feb 1979 (from memory).

The Iranians have a nuclear program?

How did that happen?

The US Atoms for Peace initiative.
