4. My Visit Inside the “Red-Green Alliance”

By Cliff Kincaid

October 2, 2026

I made an investigative trip to Michigan, where I went on-site to inspect the heart of the growing political and ideological movement known as the “Red-Green Alliance.” You can read my report, complete with photos, here.

During this trip, I visited the campaign headquarters of Abdul El-Sayed in Detroit, Michigan, as well as the Islamic Center of America in Dearborn, Michigan. What I uncovered on the ground underscores the urgency of our mission at America’s Survival, Inc.

Since our founding, we have been opposed to global Islam and international communism. That is why we were targeted by the Council on American-Islamic Relations and the Southern Poverty Law Center, and then deplatformed by Google’s YouTube under the Biden regime. I was literally “escorted” out of a Workers World Party conference in New York City.

If elected in November 2026, Abdul El-Sayed would become the first Muslim member ever to serve in the U.S. Senate. His political campaign, centered at his Detroit HQ, is heavily backed by radical far-left politicians and national organizations:

• U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders, Vice President Kamala Harris, U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, Hon. Andy Levin, Hon. David Bonior, United Auto Workers, Michigan AFL-CIO, Michigan Education Association, AFT Michigan, National Nurses United, Working Families Party, MoveOn, Indivisible, and over 300 other elected officials and organizations.

This alliance between radical leftist politics and Islamic political agendas is not accidental—it represents a deliberate convergence of interests aimed at reshaping American governance.

The connection between communist networks and radical Islam goes back over a century.

• Lenin’s Initial Strategy: As early as December 1917, Vladimir Lenin addressed his second post-revolution message to the “Toiling Muslims of Russia and East,” viewing them as a vital reservoir for the world communist revolution.
• KGB Connections: As documented in our America’s Survival, Inc. publication, Made in Moscow Terrorism: Communists and Muslims: The Hidden Hand of the KGB by former KGB officer Konstantin Preobrazhensky, Soviet intelligence deliberately cultivated ties across the Islamic world.
• Soviet Ties to Iranian Leadership: Historical reporting shows that key figures of the Iranian Revolution maintained significant KGB and Soviet-bloc ties, including one Ayatollah having studied at Patrice Lumumba University.

Today, we see this coalition playing out locally in places like Dearborn, Michigan—where local authorities have faced lawsuits over First Amendment violations, spending municipal funds to promote religious displays while targeting Christian citizens and ministers exercising their constitutional rights.

At America’s Survival, Inc. (ASI), we perform the investigative work and public education that the mainstream media refuses to touch. From exposing foreign influence operations to documenting the ideological subversion of American institutions, ASI stands on the frontlines of truth.

Consider that back in 2012, we held a conference, “The Vetting: Obama, Radical Islam and the Soros Connection.”

During my visit I encountered many friendly Muslims. I purchased a copy of the Quran at a local gift shop and the female clerk outfitted in a hijab was happy to share information about the “Twelvers.”

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani identifies as a Shia Muslim associated with the “Twelver” movement of apocalyptic Muslims that constitute the state religion of Iran.

Inside the mosque, I was alarmed to see a picture on a wall of Ayatollah Khomeini on a 1982 Time cover story about “Iran on the March.”

It is noteworthy that, shortly after his successor, the Ayatollah Khamenei’s death during the U.S.-Iran conflict, candidate Abdul El-Sayed said there were “a lot of people in Dearborn who are sad.”

The first Ayatollah, Khomeini, had said in 1979 after taking power in Iran, “We are in a war situation, an economic war which is in itself a struggle between Islam and blasphemy.” Those comments were featured in a Washington Post story headlined, “Khomeini Sees Possibility of War with U.S.”

It has come to pass.

In Iran, Trump has acted to save Western civilization from a Nazi-style regime in religious garb pursuing nuclear weapons that could kill millions of Americans. The war on the Islamic Republic of Iran constitutes justice on behalf of the victims of Iran, including the 1983 bombing of the U.S. Marine Barracks in Lebanon which killed 241 American military personnel, at least 600 American soldiers murdered in the Middle East and nearly 900 wounded.

But many have turned on Trump, mostly because of high gas prices.

By contrast, as demonstrated in numerous exhibits at the World War II American Experience Museum in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, the American people in that World War rallied as they encountered gas and food rationing, built victory gardens, and gathered up scrap metal for the war effort. Americans learned to ration foods like sugar, coffee, cheese, and meats. A “victory speed limit” of 35 miles an hour was established to conserve gasoline and rubber tires. Toy companies were converted to making war material.

The United States suffered approximately 1,078,594 total military casualties during World War II, which lasted six years: 407,316 total U.S military deaths and wounded in action estimated at 671,278. By contrast, the Iran War, (Operation Epic Fury), which began on February 28, 2026, by September 20 had resulted in 18 deaths and 820 to 830 + U.S. service members officially reported wounded.

President Trump inherited a Russian war on Ukraine, a Taliban terrorist takeover of Afghanistan, Iranian progress toward nuclear weapons, and Red Chinese threats against the Republic of China on Taiwan, while security experts warned there were “sleeper cells” of foreign fighters inside the U.S., and that the number could be in the tens of thousands, or more.

Headlines over the last few days, regarding an attempted Jihadist suicide mission using an airplane, and an Iranian-sponsored plot targeting a U.S. military base in Britain, demonstrate that the Iranian war against America and Israel has escalated.

But they are desperate for a victory at the ballot box in November. The Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has gone so far as to issue a letter to the American people, specifically scholars, students, and journalists, demanding a vote against President Trump and the Republicans.

Whose side are you on?
