Zohran Mamdani Accused of Sabotage: How NYC’s Mayor Gutted the Biggest US Navy Parade in 50 Years

"Paladino believes colluding with Iran is just one part of Mamdani's DSA-fueled plan, noting "they will collude with any and all of our enemies.'"

"New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) is facing accusations of undermining what was intended to be the largest U.S. naval parade in 50 years during the Sail4th 250 events celebrating America’s 250th anniversary.

Maritime expert, CEO of gCaptain, and a member of the Pentagon Press Corps, John Konrad, alleges that Mamdani’s administration used multiple city agencies to create obstacles, including complicating Navy permits, deploying barricades that misdirected crowds, and shutting down ferry service to the sold-out Governors Island viewing area following a minor overnight storm.

Konrad cites multiple military sources, ranging from O-5 ranks to admirals, in laying out a long string of allegations on X.

"Mamdani closed the ferry to the main viewing area (on the) morning of the US Navy parade," he initially states regarding what has been reported as a "flash storm."

"There was a minor storm the night before the parade, and Mamdani ordered the ferry that services the island closed," Konrad wrote in a follow-up post. "The storm was good luck for Mamdani, but that’s irrelevant: sources within NY DOT tell me someone close to the mayor was looking for mechanical or safety reasons to close it regardless." . . .

I've said this before and I'll say it again. We are in a soft secession under Zohran. He considers New York an independent city-state with its own foreign policy, immigration policy, and economic policy. He does not recognize the authority of the federal government except to the extent he can extract money or political wins from it," Paladino asserts.

"The intent is to use the resources and authority of New York City to wage war against the federal government and the rest of the country. The DSA (Democratic Socialists of America) is quite open about it. They're telling us what they plan to do, and Zohran is executing."      More...
