Mayor Bill de Blasio has turned the greatest city in the world into a crime infested and filthy hell hole. How can New York City survive another 17 months of Mayor de Blasio?
Trash Piling Up Over NYC After Sanitation Department’s Budget Slashed By Over $100 Million
By CBS New York, August 1, 2020
Story continues below advertisementTrash has been piling up all over New York City less than a month after the sanitation department’s budget was slashed by millions.
If you’ve been noticing more trash spilling out of the baskets on each corner later or rolling on the streets like tumbleweeds even more than usual, you’re not alone.
“Now it’s more than ever,” said Stella Pando, in Hamilton Heights.
“It’s outrageous. A lot of rats come in, a lot of mice, roaches. They gotta do something about this,” Hector Vasquez, of Harlem, said.
Two raccoons were spotted feasting on an overflowing bin the other night outside a Hamilton Heights playground.
“The city right now, and especially in New York, we’re being hailed for doing so great with public health and all these things, but I don’t think you can say we’re doing that well with public health ’cause when you have garbage everywhere, it’s also a public health issue,” said Adam Goldenberg, of Harlem.
In June, the city cut $106 million from the sanitation department‘s budget, reducing pickup for public litter baskets by 60%.
“We have a lot less resources than we did in the prior fiscal year,” DSNY Commissioner Kathryn Garcia told CBS2’s Ali Bauman.
The sanitation commissioner says curbside collection service has stayed the same, but people are leaving out more trash than usual, particularly in the outer boroughs.
“Our trucks are filling up very quickly as we make it around the route in some neighborhoods because people are home,” Garcia said.
She says those trucks usually help pick up loose debris along with what’s called lot cleaning crews, which were also reduced in the budget cuts.
With tourism down and many offices still closed, as well as residents in wealthier zip codes leaving the city during the pandemic, some neighborhoods have stayed relatively clean.
“Is there any kind of diversion of resources from neighborhoods that don’t need as much trash pickup right now to neighborhoods that do, the lower-income neighborhoods?” Bauman asked.

Notice Cuomo refuses to get rid of DeBlazio. It’s because they have the same agenda!
If it’s not bad enough that crime is exploding, filth and DISEASE will follow. Some residents are already suing San Francisco in CA, for contracting Typhus from all the filth liberals won’t clean up. Filthy third world countries have this. More diseases will follow! It’s always the impoverished people in poor neighborhoods that suffer the most under these communist tyrants. These Marxist DEMS don’t care about you!

It is indeed the agenda. The NWO is the return of the Old World Order of the Midlle Ages of filth poverty, unemployment, diseases and hungry world populace, immorality, one religion of lies and fear. only two classes: the filthy rich and the abject poor.

NYC has had more shootings so far this year than in all of 2019
By Joe Marino, Craig McCarthy, Sara Dorn and Aaron Feis

…
And it’s only the first days of August, with five more months before the year is over.
“It only gets worse from here,” warned Joseph Giacalone, a retired NYPD sergeant and an adjunct professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice.
“As the shootings continue, so will retaliation. It’s a vicious cycle that the NYPD worked hard to mitigate, but that they are no longer able and in some cases willing to do.”
…
The year’s plague of gunplay has touched every borough, killing or injuring 942 victims and cutting down not just hardened gang members but innocent children.
…
“I’ve been living here 55 years, and I’ve never seen it this bad,” neighbor Mario Martinez said later Saturday night.
…
Mayor Bill de Blasio and police brass have put forth a litany of possible explanations for the bloodshed: The coronavirus pandemic, the corresponding closure of courts, anti-cop sentiment, restrictive new legislation, the disbanding of the NYPD’s anti-crime unit and the since-debunked notion that inmates released under state bail-reform law were to blame.

I remember the city’s (NYNY) sanitary worker strike of 1980. I had the great misfortune of living there at that time. Of course, any time that I had to be in that filthy hell hole was a great misfortune (I HATE NY).
This was not simply overruns of trucks, but a full shut down of collection.
Ah, the odor of a summer night, in New York, with garbage piled up to the second story of brownstones on Fifth Avenue.
It’s the smell of the Democrat Party.

The comment on smell caught my attention. …. According to DeBlazio, it is a HUMAN RIGHT to openly defecate and urinate in the open. Are you suggesting this shouldn’t happen? Deprive them of this right?

Muslim plotter in 1993 NYC jihad bombing set for release
despite repeated assaults of prison officials
AUG 1, 2020 4:00 PM
BY ROBERT SPENCER
What could possibly go wrong? Surely he has been disabused of his jihadist sentiments while in prison, no? No. Of course not. To have attempted that would have been “Islamophobic.”
“Victor Alvarez, conspirator in 1993 NYC terror plot, set for release,” by Ben Feuerherd, Jason Beeferman and Bruce Golding, New York Post, July 30, 2020:
A would-be terrorist convicted in a fiendish plot to bomb New York City landmarks was released to a Manhattan homeless shelter on Thursday — after declaring in court that he would stop taking his meds.
“I want to be free from mental health treatment,” Victor Alvarez loudly told his lawyer during an afternoon court appearance.
“I want to be free now.”
Alvarez, 54, was ordered fitted with an electronic monitoring bracelet by a judge who also signed off on a plan for him to move into the Bellevue Men’s Shelter in Kips Bay once the device is attached…..
Alvarez on Thursday finished serving a 30-year prison sentence for conspiring with the late, blind Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman to blow up the various Big Apple bridges and tunnels, as well as the United Nations and local FBI headquarters.
His crimes included helping stir diesel fuel and fertilizer for what the feds called a “witches’ brew” that was found inside a makeshift bomb factory in Queens when it was raided in 1993, disrupting the terror scheme….
“Between 1993 and 2013, the defendant received 155 prison disciplinary reports, including for assaulting, spitting on, and threatening officers, possessing a weapon, flooding his cell, and keeping containers of urine and rotten milk in his cell.”…

Perhaps a Private Citizen should do their Constitutional Duty as a member of “the militia” and execute a “lawful” sentence on this criminal Alvarez.

It is a spiritual warfare going on. the powers of darkness that ruled the world until Napoleon brought an end to that reign, is being instated again with the help of western and Israeli governments.
The result for former Protestant America for turning back to the power she fled from, is the fulfillment of Bible prophecy of Revelation’s second beast speaking like a dragon.

#Hot Garbage NYC

In back alleys in Kuala Lumpur garbage pickup is erratic in Chinese neighborhoods. It piles up. A Chinese buddy warned me not to walk down those alleys for a short cut. Predators lying in wait. What!? I have seen rats there the size of house cats. Do you know what eats rats? King cobras. Pythons! You think you got it bad in NYC well you can get eaten taking a short cut down an alley in KL. Or poisoned. Talk about a “hood.”

Tax collections are crashing so expect more budget cuts, layoffs. I have no sympathy for those who live there. They voted for a commie, they made their bed now they are lying in it. As for the decent minority you can move out. There are free states to the west and south. Don’t complain if you choose to stay there. To stay in NYC is to choose to avoid freedom elsewhere. Right wing Jews prefer to live among totalitarian Jews lest they move to TN and have Baptists and Presbyterians for neighbors, and move to Idaho and have Mormons next door. Heaven forbid it. No sympathy for them. Move before they pass an exit tax.

DeBlasio’s anti-business policies have caused businesses to flee and they are the ones who paid for sanitation. There were other reasons as well as the virus hurting the economy.

The shutdown caused a lot of financial hardship. There was a lot of panic. So many people were dying. The elderly should have been protected. Unfortunately the disease does kill younger people though a lot fewer than it does the elderly.

Let the NYC liberals stew in their own filth. Make no mistake about it, the rich residents of Manhattan are just as much to blame for DeBlasio being mayor as the lower income residents and illegals. I have yet to meet a Manhattanite who does not hate Donald Trump and blames the Republican Party for all evils.

Was watching tv at a restaurant located in a middle class neighborhood , when, all of a sudden, some leftist wacko took a dump on a sidewalk. I knew the tv show was a liberal, cesspool, but, this is taking “entertainment ” to a new low. Next time I’ll ask the owner to shut that filth off, before I puke on his newly waxed floor.

Folks, after Beirut suffered its terrible explosion, the people themselves started cleaning up their area. They are not waiting for the government.
Is there no area away from the built up neighbourhoods that the trash can be brought to instead of piling it up on your sidewalks in front of your homes/apartments? Help yourselves. Discuss it among yourselves in your neighbourhood.
And remember, the US is in a crisis. Bible prophecy about the US is being fulfilled. America is not being made great again, but just the contrary. And it is not even Islam who has caused it.
