Wayne Allyn Root is not the only person at WorldNetDaily to have a meltdown over New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani. Joe Kovacs found a conspiratorial article to repeat — which also mixes in some old-school Obama derangement — in a July 6 article:
A new, explosive report is alleging the same Deep State forces that brought Barack Obama to the U.S. presidency are responsible for the meteoric rise of Zohran Mamdani, the socialist who is now the Democratic nominee for New York City mayor.
The analysis Sunday by Ethan White at Gazetteller.com says: “Barack Obama was never just a president. He was a weapon – carefully installed, heavily protected, and strategically unleashed to dismantle the American Republic from within.
“Now, on July 6, 2025, the fruits of his deception are visible for anyone who dares to see through the smokescreen of media propaganda and elite manipulation.
“And the clearest product of his globalist-engineered legacy is Zohran Mamdani – a foreign-born, socialist radical openly advocating the destruction of capitalism, national identity, and constitutional law.”
The report says while President Donald Trump is still working to “undo the devastation” from the Obama years, “Mamdani emerges as the next key agent in the Deep State’s unrelenting war against America.
“Make no mistake – this is a continuation of the same covert operation. What Obama began in secret, Mamdani now carries forward openly. And that’s the most dangerous part.”
White then probes into Obama’s pre-presidential background, claiming the politician “was groomed for decades by Marxists, foreign ideologues, and anti-American globalists.”
[…]“Obama’s presidency was a Trojan horse operation. Under the guise of “hope and change,” he launched a campaign of systematic erosion – weaponizing federal agencies (IRS, FBI, DOJ), expanding surveillance, empowering Iran, defunding the military, and feeding racial division. He wasn’t leading America. He was softening it for conquest – economic, cultural, and spiritual.”
White then fast-forwards to 2025, writing: “Zohran Mamdani – born in Uganda, raised in post-colonial Africa, shaped by South African leftist movements – is now being positioned to assume the mayorship of New York City. That’s not a random rise. It’s a continuation of the Obama blueprint. But Mamdani is different in one key way: he no longer needs to pretend.”
He noted while Obama carefully hid his Marxist roots, Mamdani is out in the open with his support for socialism.
Kovacs offered no evidence he attempted to fact-check anything in this piece he’s rewriting — even though he clearly should have. Gazetteller, for which Ethan White seems to be the only employee, appears to be a fake-news operation with hyperbolic, overly wordy headlines like “BREAKING! Trump Seizes Control of the Federal Reserve in Military Operation — QFS Fully Activated, GESARA Enforcement Underway, $97 Trillion in Deep State Funds Frozen, Vatican Gold Confiscated, SHI Token Deployed Under Space Force Command!” Still, this gave Kovacs an opportunity to rehash some of his employer’s Obama birtherism:
As WorldNetDaily reported in 2011, Donald Trump, five years before he was elected president, was among the major names in America suggesting Obama’s presidency could be “illegal” if legitimate proof were not provided demonstrating the commander in chief is indeed a “natural born citizen” of the U.S.
“To be honest with you, I want him to have a birth certificate,” Trump told Greta Van Susteren of Fox News at the time, “because [otherwise] that would mean that his presidency was, I guess you’d have to say, illegal. You have to be born in the United States. I hope that he was born in the United States. I hope – but I want to get rid of the word hope, I want to know for sure – I hope that he was born in the United States and I hope this doesn’t become a big issue.”
“He spent millions of dollars trying to get away from this issue. Millions of dollars in legal fees trying to get away from this issue. I brought it up just routinely. All of a sudden a lot of facts are emerging, and I’m starting to wonder myself whether he was born in this country,” Trump said on “Fox & Friends.”
In fact, Obama does have a birth certificate — even if WND refuses to this day to recognize that it’s legitimate — and he did not spend “millions of dollars” fighting the issue. Kovacs failed to mention that Trump declared in 2016 that Obama “was born in the United States.”
