Mamdani: Demolishing Saudi Wealth in NYC
... Provoking Trump & Blockbusting Mohammad bin Salman's Neighborhood
Anecdotes abound in urban real estate investment on "blockbusting", or causing a panic in a neighborhood whereby desirable tenants leave and have less desirable replacements, causing asset prices to collapse.
Presumably, then, the eminence grise orchestrating the "blockbusting" then buys-up all the property, rescinds the policies which caused the exodus and subsequent price collapse, and then banks his profit.
Context - Mohammad bin Salman & Al Thani Conflict
From 2017-2021, Mohammad bin Salman created an anti-Al Thani front, consisting of Egypt, Bahrain, and the UAE, which imposed sanctions and embargos against Qatar.
Now called the "Qatar diplomatic crisis", it entailed full-spectrum sanctions and embargos against anything Qatari - stopping just short of an outright hot-war.
The Wikipedia link, here, gives a comprehensive overview of the MbS - al Thani conflict. Naturally, MbS had total endorsement from Trump to impose sanctions and embargoes against Qatar.
Al Thani - Team Blue ("Obama/Biden"); Mohammad bin Salman - Team Red ("Our Guy")
Qatar did not anticipate Trump's humiliating defeat of Iran: Qatar's main foil in the Middle East, Iran, proved completely porous and impotent against America's loyal bulldog, the much-maligned Bibi Israel.
When you see "Qatar", think Biden, Obama, and all things Deep Blue.
Mamdani - Team Blue's 12er Shia - Poison-Pill to Trap Trump & MbS
To hurt Trump, most effectively, you attack his capital providers. Foremost amongst these remains Mohammad bin Salman, "Our Guy".
Mamdani's campaign had the usual "spook" touch - clearly engineered from the top-down by Team Blue - this reasonably charismatic demagogue consistently performed his role as the perfect executioner for New York City: his very candidacy compels Trump to act.
To confirm the attack against Mohammad bin Salman, this 12er Shia "air-dropped" into the NYC Mayor's office has the al Thani signature, as confirmed.
Crushing Iran to Save New York
Mamdani actually believes what he says: coming from a Khmer Rouge flavored 12er Shia Islamic ideology(essentially, a deep ancestral hate of the white race coupled with some smattering of hard-left socialist drivel), the Team Blue Mamdani handlers sought to force Trump into a hostage situation. Specifically, they wanted to force Trump to make catastrophic and unpopular errors to contain the "popular" Mamdani.
The reader can speculate on his own, but things such as stripping him of citizenship or deploying Federal police to arrest Mamdani would not only hurt Trump domestically, but actually also hurt Mohammad bin Salman, who has one of the largest populations of 12er Shia in the world within the borders of his country, Saudi Arabia.
Qatar would immediately capitalize on any perceived persecution of Mamdani as an attack on 12er Shia, globally. Consequences would entail protest, agitation, and possibly even armed rebel activity within the eastern portion of Saudi Arabia: all complicating MbS' administration and straining his commitment to Trump's budget and agenda.
Mamdani's Tactics: Block-busting Team Red NYC Assets
Through calculated and targeted "block-busting", Mamdani would have the authority to impose catastrophic policies, through his DSA/Khmer Rouge cadres, against landlords across the 5 Boros.
A feature of the New York City bureaucracy and legal system, its opacity and inertia, means that it would take an entire election cycle to even begin to countervail Mamdani's attacks on Saudi, Emirati, Bahrani, and perhaps even Egyptian real estate investment in NYC. Notably, "targeted enforcement" by Mamdani means that Qatari-owned assets receive effective and substantial security, while those owned by MbS' allies get the full DSA treatment by Mamdani's footsoldiers.
Despite protecting Qatar's al Thani family's assets in New York City, a massive investor in NYC real estate, al Thani could perhaps see their assets marginally impaired, short-term, with Mamdani's block-busting.
Surely, a short-term loss of liquidity for al Thani proves a tolerable price to pay for humbling Mohammad bin Salman.
Mamdani - Focus on Iran & Qatar
To break Mamdani means humbling Qatar, and that entails curbing Iran.
Any other approach to containing the Khmer-Rouge inspired agitator in New York City proves too costly and risky for Team Red.
