The Real Axis of Evil
The threat from within
Welcome, my dear readers, once again into the asylum. With American forces engaged with Iran, there are many things we could discuss. These include the West’s largely failed attempts at intervention in the region and the destabilizing effects that followed, the brutal killing of tens of thousands of protesters by Iran’s government, and many other serious issues. While all of those matter, I believe the most serious and troubling threat right now on the ground is the alliance between Islam and the woke leftist establishment. The Red-Green Alliance has happened before and is one strategy used by Islam in its long effort to make the world one large Caliphate. Since the moment Muhammad was possessed by a demon and began his satanic ministry, the goal of Islam has been total conversion of the world’s population, with no hesitation to use fear, violence, and death to achieve it.
Sadly, the modern American view of terrorism often works like an outdated idea, a story told to a comfortable population. In this view, enemies are far away, their plans seem strange, and their battlefields are distant. In just one generation, we have largely forgotten the events of 9/11/2001. The old idea of fighting enemies abroad to stop them from attacking at home is becoming less useful. The main threat is now internal, a problem spreading through the Republic itself. It is driven by several forces that, together, form a partnership not just tactical but deeply opposed to the American constitutional system. This situation combines radical Islamist goals, weak border security, and a group on the left side of the domestic political system that has aligned itself with these elements. Together, they are seeking the destruction of the nation. This is not just speculation. It is the reality of a country that has allowed conditions that increase its own vulnerability.
The danger is not limited to people entering from outside the country. It also occurs where several connected threats converge and reinforce one another. Radical Islamist networks try to gain influence inside Western societies by using any weakness they can find. Recent border policies that allow easier entry, along with political hesitation to address the risks, make it possible for people from high-risk regions to enter with limited oversight.
Even more troubling, parts of the Western radical left, driven by strong ideology and moral posturing, have formed a working relationship with Islamist groups. This relationship gives those groups political cover, public legitimacy, and institutional support for goals that do not fit with a democratic republic. Each of these issues is serious on its own, but together they form a broad challenge to the core principles of the republic.
Federal officials have long warned that the southern border is a major vulnerability. They describe it not only as an immigration issue but also as a national security concern. In recent years, large numbers of migrants from “special interest” countries, places where extremist groups operate, or hostile governments maintain networks, have entered the United States. Among them are Iranian nationals, whose government has maintained a hostile position toward the United States for decades. Records show that more than 1,500 Iranian nationals were detained at the border, and about half were released into the country while waiting for their legal cases. The number of people who entered without detection is unknown. These are not just simple administrative mistakes. They are weaknesses that can be used by people who understand that a slow and open system can serve their goals. The possibility that hostile actors could establish sleeper cells inside the United States is no longer just a theory. Intelligence agencies have often warned that extremist movements plan over many decades, placing supporters and operatives long before taking action.
Border security, however, is only the surface of a more serious and more subtle threat. Inside the country, what is called the “Red-Green Alliance” has created what some see as a kind of fifth column. This is a working relationship between radical leftist groups and Islamist actors. They are not united by shared values, since their beliefs often conflict sharply. Instead, they are united by a shared goal of dismantling what they see as oppressive Western systems. Progressive movements, driven by strong ideological beliefs and rejection of traditional Western norms, sometimes treat Islamist groups as allies in opposition. Islamist groups, in turn, recognize that working with progressive movements can give them political influence, media support, and access to the democratic systems they hope to weaken or change. The result is a partnership built on convenience and shared disruption, despite very different long-term goals.
This pattern, according to critics, can be seen in the political career of New York City Mayor Zohran K. Mamdani. His rise in politics is often cited as an example of how the Red-Green Alliance might operate. Mamdani, who identifies as a democratic socialist, built support not mainly through traditional American political values but through a coalition centered on activism and shared grievances. This coalition included activist networks, progressive organizations, and Muslim advocacy groups with alleged Islamist connections. Groups such as the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which critics say has historical ties to Islamist movements, provided institutional legitimacy and political action funding. The Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) and the Muslim American Society (MAS) provided organizational support, including demonstrations, canvassing, and voter turnout efforts. For these organizations, the alliance created political access. For Mamdani, it built a strong voting base. Supporters see this as normal coalition politics, but critics argue it shows how alliances between very different groups can help normalize radical ideas under the language of social justice. They claim this is a form of political infiltration where allies are used for strategic gain and later discarded.
Mamdani’s public statements are also viewed by critics as reflecting the goals of his Islamist allies. These include support for the BDS movement, describing Israel as practicing “apartheid” or “genocide,” appearing at events with activists connected to figures such as Imam Siraj Wahhaj, and not strongly rejecting lyrics tied to individuals accused of financing Hamas. Critics argue this pattern shows how a secular political figure can act as a public shield for a more hostile ideological system. In this view, the Red-Green Alliance works like a political Trojan horse, spreading ideas that weaken America’s moral consensus while protecting the growth of extremist influence inside institutions meant to defend individual freedom.
Technology has made this threat even more serious. Radicalization is no longer limited by geography or personal recruitment. Encrypted messaging, social media networks, and online propaganda allow ideology to spread quickly inside domestic communities. Platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok can create echo chambers that reinforce extreme beliefs. Some observers argue that the changes made to Twitter, now called X, by Elon Musk revealed how important these platforms are to the spread of political narratives, as shown by the strong backlash that followed. Lone-actor attacks encouraged by online communities are now seen as one of the most immediate risks, because the environment created by these networks can validate and encourage violent ideas.
Supporters of this theory also argue that the Red-Green Alliance fits into a larger long-term strategy used by international Islamist groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood. According to this view, these groups understand that influence in Western societies can be achieved through politics, culture, and media, rather than only through violence. Organizations influenced by this ideology try to reshape democratic discussion by framing their actions as civil rights advocacy for marginalized groups. Working with progressive movements can provide the political protection needed for these ideas to spread under the appearance of legitimate activism.
The combination of weak borders, ideological conflict, and modern technology can create what some describe as a “perfect storm.” Intelligence analysts warn that global tensions, such as conflict with Iran, could encourage sympathetic actors within the United States to take action. The battlefield is no longer distant; it is part of American
