The situation in New York City has become so absurd that we had to take a moment from our investigations to laugh.

But when the incoming mayor of America’s largest city stacks his transition team with leaders of designated terrorist organizations, Farrakhan disciples, police abolitionists, and professional agitators—and expects everyone to treat it as normal progressive governance—sometimes laughter is the only sane response.

The following document was discovered by Middle East Forum operatives during routine surveillance of the Mamdani transition team’s headquarters. It appears to be an internal orientation guide prepared for incoming staff—a kind of “welcome packet” for the revolution.

We are publishing it here in full, unedited, as a public service.

You’re no idiot, of course. You know how to navigate the subway (mostly), find the best dollar slice, and avoid eye contact on the L train. But when it comes to the “seismic shift” in your city’s government, you might feel a little out of your depth. Who are these new people? Why does the Mayor want to “decolonize” your landlord? And what exactly is a “Red-Green” alliance?

Don’t panic! The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Your New ‘Red-Green’ City is here to help you understand how your vote for cheaper rent accidentally bought you a ticket to a “civilizational jihad.”

You thought you were voting for “bread and butter” issues like affordable housing. But surprise! You actually voted for a “Trojan Horse” filled with revolutionaries.

Zohran Mamdani might look like your average progressive who enjoys a good cold brew, but experts say he’s actually a “Muslim Tribalist.” While he certainly doesn’t act like a hardline cleric from Tehran—he is way too cool for that—his goals are far more specific. He views New York City not as a bustling metropolis, but as a “colonial outpost” that needs to be “decolonized.” Consequently, his strategy involves using the Mayor’s office as a “forward operating base” for a global war.

Idiot’s Definition: “Affordability Agenda” This is a clever disguise used to hide a network of Islamists and socialists who want to dismantle Western civilization while you’re distracted by the promise of lower rent.

In this administration, “Green” stands for the Global Islamist Movement. Meet the new folks in charge of your community organizing!

Who better to run the Committee on Community Organizing than Sherif Ahmed? His day job is Executive Director of the Muslim American Society (MAS). If that sounds official, here is a fun fact: the UAE designated his group as a terrorist organization, placing it right up there with Al-Qaeda. Federal prosecutors have even called his group the “overt arm” of the Muslim Brotherhood in America, and their motto includes the catchy phrase that “dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope.”

Bet You Didn’t Know? MAS has a remarkably intense youth program! In Philadelphia, children were filmed singing songs about “chopping off heads” and subjecting people to “eternal torture.” Now that’s community spirit!

The “Green” team loves to use “civil rights” language to protect their agenda. Their primary shield is Afaf Nasher of CAIR-NY, who is here to make sure “Globalize the Intifada” is treated as protected free speech. Her stance is quite firm; she famously called the October 7 atrocities “self-defense.” Meanwhile, the street team, which includes groups like “Within Our Lifetime,” publishes maps of Jewish businesses to target. The Mayor refuses to condemn them because, hey, he claims that is not language he uses himself.

The “Green” team brings the passion, but the “Red” team (the Socialists) brings the paperwork.

Worried about crime? Don’t be! The Committee on Community Safety is staffed by people who want to abolish the police entirely. The resident “expert” is Tamika Mallory, who is a huge fan of Louis Farrakhan, calling him the “GOAT” (Greatest of All Time). It is worth noting that Farrakhan calls Jews “termites,” but who’s counting? Her operating theory is that the NYPD learns police brutality directly from Israel, a conspiracy theory known as “Deadly Exchange.” The plan is simple: strip the NYPD of its budget and give the money to “community groups” run by … well, the very people in this book.

We can’t have a revolution if the kids love America! That is why the teacher for this new era is Sebastian Leon Martinez from the Young Democratic Socialists (YDSA). The lesson plan focuses on “decolonial” education that teaches kids the U.S. is an “evil, racist empire” and Israel is a “genocidal state.” The ultimate goal is to capture the minds of the next generation so the revolution lasts forever.

Worried that all this might sound a little bit antisemitic? The transition team has a solution for that, too!

The strategy is simple: use “token anti-Zionist Jews” to “kosher” the hateful agenda. The star of this show is Rabbi Abby Stein, who is here to provide “moral cover” and dismiss any Jewish concerns as mere “political smears.” The result is that the city can ban Jewish companies and divest pension funds from Israel (BDS), all while claiming they have “Jewish support.”

The Least You Need to Know * Mamdani is the “Trojan Horse.” * The “Green” Team includes leaders of designated terror groups. * The “Red” Team wants to abolish the police and end capitalism. * If you don’t watch out, New York becomes a laboratory for “societal decay.”

You might think “activism” means handing out flyers or holding a sign. How quaint! In this administration, “activism” means cheering for people who want to blow things up and calling for “Jihad” against the government.

Why punish terrorists when you can hire their friends? Meet Fahd Ahmed, who runs DRUM (Desis Rising Up and Moving) and acts as the “ideological driver” behind the scenes. His hobby seems to be defending people accused of terrorism, like Ahmed Ferhani, who plotted to blow up New York synagogues. The spin from DRUM is that plotting mass murder isn’t a crime; it’s just being a victim of “entrapment” and “Islamophobia.” Fahd also hangs out with Samidoun, a group designated as a terrorist entity for being a sham charity for the PFLP—you know, the hijackers.

No revolutionary administration is complete without a spiritual guide. Linda Sarsour might not be officially on the list, but she is the “patron saint” of the machine, known for calling for “jihad” against the U.S. government and asserting that you can’t be a feminist if you’re a Zionist. Then there is Nerdeen Kiswani and her group, Within Our Lifetime (WOL), who act as “street enforcers.” They like to publish maps of Jewish businesses labeled as “enemy locations.” When asked about this, the Mayor refused to condemn it because “that’s not language I use.”

Idiot’s Guide to “Resistance” When they chant “Globalize the Intifada,” they aren’t talking about a global peace concert. They are explicitly calling for violence against Jews and Western targets.

Who needs elected officials when you have “nonprofits” to run the show? These groups want to erase borders and rewrite the Constitution.

Forget about laws; let’s talk about “imperialism.” Make the Road New York (MRNY), represented by Natalia Aristizabal and Elizabeth Jordan, believes open borders are a form of “reparations.” Their logic is that the U.S. has no right to enforce borders because its wealth is stolen from the Global South. Their policy is total non-cooperation with ICE, effectively making New York a sovereign shield for criminal aliens.

Also joining the fray is African Communities Together (ACT), led by Amaha Kassa, who wants you to know that the U.S. is an illegitimate “settler colonial” state. He links the African migrant struggle to Palestine, because apparently, everyone is a victim of “white settlers.” Then there is Bertha Lewis of The Black Institute, a veteran of ACORN, who wants to overturn the constitutional order entirely to achieve “racial redistribution.”

The City University of New York (CUNY) is where the “Red-Green” alliance goes to college. The professor in charge is Chaumtoli Huq, who teaches “Marxist legal theory” and frames the law as just a tool of capitalist oppression. She is backed by her bodyguard, James Davis, head of the faculty union (PSC-CUNY), who is there to protect radical professors. His job involves passing resolutions calling Israel an “apartheid state” and defending faculty hate speech under the guise of “academic freedom.”

So, the gang is all here! But what are they actually going to do?

New York is about to become the first city to officially boycott Israel. With Sherif Ahmed and the DSA in charge, the plan is to use city pension funds to wage economic warfare. You can expect new rules banning the city from hiring security or tech firms with “ties to the occupation,” effectively blocking Jewish and Israeli companies from doing business here.

Remember “Law and Order”? Forget it. We’re doing “Social Justice” now. The “Defund 2.0” strategy means billions will be shifted from the NYPD to the “Red-Green patronage network”—the very people listed in Chapters 7 through 10. The decarceration plan includes closing Rikers Island with no replacement and ending cash bail completely. The result will be a return to the disorder of the 1970s, but this time you’re supposed to applaud it as progress.

The Big Takeaway This isn’t just a new administration; it’s a “revolutionary cell in power.” The “Islamist cloud” has arrived, and it plans to turn New York into a laboratory for anti-Americanism. Enjoy the ride!
