Requiem For Gotham: This is the beginning of the end for New York City, and another Islamic nail in the West’s coffin
American Thinker ^ | 11/05/25 | Eric Utter

Posted on 11/05/2025 6:29:08 AM PST by SeekAndFind

9/11 didn’t destroy New York City. 11/04 will.

The largest city in America has fallen. The world’s financial capital will henceforth be run by a communist. What could go wrong?

What has always gone wrong, throughout history—with no exception—when Marxists/Communists run a city, state, or nation. That’s what could go wrong. The incentivization of sloth and dependency, the degradation of production and commerce, the collapse of the economy, the resulting lack of goods and services, the utter destruction of the middle class, the diminution of liberty, and the evisceration of moral character.

For starters.

I have long warned Republicans and conservatives (they are not necessarily one and the same) against overconfidence after the last national election, on this site and others. Leftists play the long game, never quit, have much more time on their hands, and are brilliant at cheating—and being evil in general.

D.E.I. (D.I.E. to conservative wags) isn’t dead. The tragically woke are not going away. They still own all the institutions and probably will for eternity unless the staggering demographic changes of the past couple of decades are somehow reversed. And I don’t see that happening. I well know that people don’t like hearing this, but that is often the case with the truth.

In 1946, Winston Churchill eloquently, if ominously, stated that “all the capitals of the ancient states of Central and Eastern Europe,” including “Warsaw, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Belgrade, Bucharest and Sofia,” lay behind an “iron curtain” that had descended across the European Continent, courtesy of the Soviet Union. Today, many of the capitals of Western Europe lie behind a Sharia curtain. Paris, London, Berlin, Brussels, Stockholm, and others. The same could be said of Ottawa.

And now the financial capital of the world.

And as NYC falls, the media will tell the people how great, how equitable, how affordable life is in NYC. The people of NYC will accept that.

The author is an ignoramus. NYC has been a communist dump for decades.

Talk about timing. It’s the second time today (November 5th, a red-letter date in the history of science, marking 70 years) that I happened upon

“a descendant of Mayflower passenger John Howland”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Lloyd#Early_life

The other was about a half hour ago for a post on another election apocalypse thread (Is This The Real “Beginning Of The End”), although I hadn’t posted that detail:

“Through his father, Baldwin is descended from Mayflower passenger John Howland”

Just take a gander at the u.k. Make a derisive remark about ‘them’ and you get arrested. Mooselimbs taking over town/city councils. Mayorships. Not good.

Upstate NY in many areas already looks like poor Appalachia. This will be the further decline of New York State into poverty.

This Bible verse comes to mind for some reason:

I’m pretty sure that the NYC Mayor has nothing to do with upstate NY.

As the author said, This is the inevitable result of Biden’s open borders policy, and the concept—and implementation—of sanctuary cities. This is the Great Replacement Theory in action. Which is not a theory, but a fact.

History will look back at the Biden administration as the acceleration of the fall of a huge part of the USA.

That's what my mom thought about synod bigwigs and her (then) beloved small-town church.

NYC will become this continent’s example of SouthAfrica — install a commie (like NMandela) and you get death and destruction.

One plus. For years when CaCaLand refugees fled to sane states like Tx and Fl, the receiving states’ natives were justifiably disgusted. Now, all the disgust will be for the NYC clowns who fled rather than fight.

Eric Utter at 'The American Thinker' is decades late.

New York City has been a dump for decades and its final requiem was published in 1981.

Mamdani is going to find out real quick that Trump isn’t his enemy, but Governor Hochul will be.

The best thing for Trump is to stay out of it, and just let the Democrats beat each other up.

The more citizens the mayor of New York City chases away, the more representatives New York State loses in Congress. I believe they've lost nearly half of what they once had and are projected to lose 2 more after the 2030 census.

The more businesses the mayor of New York City chases away, the less tax revenue goes into the New York State coffers.
