RIGHT ON CUE: Any And All Criticism of Zohran Mamdani is Suddenly Islamophobic
Mike LaChance, Gateway Pundit, Jun. 26, 2025
(https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/06/right-cue-any-all-criticism-zohran-mamdani-is/)
Democrats and the media have discovered a new strategy to protect the communist Muslim Zohran Mamdani from criticism. Just kidding, it’s actually an old strategy.
From now on, criticism of Mamdani automatically makes you an Islamophobe.
Where have we seen this strategy used before? Oh yeah! During the eight years of the Obama presidency. As you may recall, all criticism of Obama made you automatically racist.
Same old tired playbook.
From Axios:
MAGA influencers exploded over Zohran Mamdani’s upset victory in New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary, launching a wave of racist and Islamophobic attacks against the 33-year-old democratic socialist.
Why it matters: Mamdani who would be New York’s first Muslim mayor if elected, is of Indian ancestry, was born in Uganda and became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2018. He’s quickly becoming a MAGA boogeyman as much for his faith and background as for his left-wing politics.
– Police were already investigating hate-related threats against Mamdani in the days leading up to Tuesday’s election, where he was on track to defeat former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
– Mamdani, whose has drawn criticism for his pro-Palestinian activism, has repeatedly condemned antisemitism and pledged to be a mayor for all New Yorkers.
What they’re saying: “It’s sad in that in one sense it’s unsurprising, and in another, it is still deeply disappointing to see what politics has become in this moment,” Mamdani told MSNBC’s Jen Psaki in an interview Wednesday.
Right on queue!!
You are Islamophobic if you don’t want Mamdani leading New York City with the same failed ideology that is rooted in the same failed country he comes from. pic.twitter.com/oyrp7AQcuq

David Strom of Hot Air makes this point:
But he is WITH the Islamists, and has said so many times, and he is running to get the Muslim vote by appealing to his Muslim roots. And many of those Muslims he is appealing to are Islamists.
Any sane person would criticize this, and it is not Islamophobic to do so. It isn’t even Islamophobic to oppose Islam becoming a dominant force in American culture. All cultural groups prefer their own culture–it is what makes a culture a culture–and it is perfectly reasonable for Americans to reject the idea that New York City should look more like Mecca or Tehran.
Hey, it’s not like the guy is OK with globalizing the intifada, right? Oh wait…
Anyone who really believes that “globalize the intifada” is a legitimate call for Palestinian equality and equal rights is either a liar or a moron.
Zohran Mamdani is both, and he should never be elected as the mayor of NY City or anywhere else.pic.twitter.com/qXSs8AQAon

Get ready to see the media go to the mat for this guy in a way they haven’t done since Obama in 2008.
TRUMP JUST ABOLISHED THE IRS — $150 TRILLION SEIZED FROM THE GLOBAL ELITES AND REDISTRIBUTED TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!
Ethan White, Gazetteller, June 26, 2025
(https://gazetteller.com/trump-just-abolished-the-irs-150-trillion-seized-from-the-global-elites-and-redistributed-to-the-american-people/)
The Internal Revenue Service is not a tax agency. It never was. It has always been the global elite’s collection arm—a financial weapon of enslavement used to bleed Americans dry while laundering power into the hands of invisible rulers.
Since 1913, the IRS has acted as a gatekeeper to your prosperity, backed by threats, intimidation, and silent enforcement from alphabet agencies like the DOJ and FBI—all under the command of those who believe America belongs to them.
But as of today, June 26, 2025, that empire is being burned down.
President Donald J. Trump—the legitimate and sitting Commander in Chief—is executing a plan that’s been years in the making: the full dismantling of the IRS, the income tax, and the globalist revenue system built atop American suffering. And this isn’t some political promise.
This is an active operation with military backing, insider coordination, and the strategic guidance of White Hats embedded deep within what remains of the corrupt federal infrastructure.
Howard Lutnick, Commerce Secretary and one of Trump’s closest loyalists, already said it out loud:
“The President’s goal is very simple—abolish the IRS and make the outsiders pay.”
Those “outsiders” aren’t just foreign governments. They are the BlackRock asset pirates. The World Economic Forum architects. The Epstein-linked technocrats. The Chinese-linked billionaires. The pharma executives who pushed poison for profit.
These are the globalist operatives who hijacked the American financial system. They’re the ones who weaponized taxation to fund wars, child trafficking pipelines, mind-control technology, and biological black ops against their own populations.
And Trump is tearing it out by the roots.
The Real Reason Behind Abolishing the Income Tax
It’s not just about letting you keep more of your paycheck. It’s about collapsing the Deep State’s revenue model. The IRS is their bloodline. Through it, they funnel trillions into black budgets, offshore shell corporations, and covert ops aimed at destabilizing Trump’s America from within.
But Trump’s team has unlocked a new mechanism—a $150 trillion financial warhead. That’s not some estimate. That number comes straight from top-level insiders like Jim Rickards, a man who’s advised four U.S. Presidents, the CIA, the Treasury, and the Federal Reserve itself.
Rickards confirms that Trump’s move is already funneling revenue into U.S. coffers through aggressive global tariffs, economic sovereignty strategies, and repatriated trillions previously locked away in elite offshore vaults.
This is the silent storm happening now, just beneath the media smokescreen.
Trump is doing what the elites always feared: draining their lifeblood while strengthening ours.
Why They’re Panicking Now
Since April, military intelligence under Space Force Cyber Command has intercepted multiple encrypted communications between financial agents in Brussels, Geneva, and the Bank of International Settlements, signaling a mass liquidation of elite assets—a telltale sign of collapse prep.
Reports indicate at least three high-level Rothschild proxies have been placed under military tribunal detainment as of June 20, following unauthorized asset transfers tied to IMF destabilization plots.
And let’s be clear: this is war.
The repeal of the income tax is a direct strike on the Deep State’s wallet. No income tax = no domestic funding for their digital ID surveillance agenda, climate lockdowns, vaccine passports, or foreign proxy wars. The system is bleeding out, and Trump’s not giving it a tourniquet.
He’s gutting their entire infrastructure, from IRS offices that double as covert data hubs to Treasury nodes still infected with Federal Reserve loyalists.
This is why you’re seeing increased financial “glitches” and “errors” in your bank statements, debit card freezes, and strange FDIC memos. It’s not a bug—it’s the system short-circuiting as Quantum Financial System (QFS) nodes begin replacing SWIFT pathways in real-time, under Trump’s executive order greenlit back in February 2025.
The Next Phase: Tariffs as National Defense
While the media whines about “tariffs hurting trade,” what they won’t tell you is that Trump’s tariffs are strategically designed to dismantle globalist leverage. Chinese tech conglomerates tied to espionage programs are now forced to pay billions just to do business in American markets. European elites funneled cash through shell imports? Now they’re bleeding under 40% tariff enforcement.
This isn’t economics—it’s liberation.
Trump’s new system removes the financial noose from the American worker’s neck and wraps it around the throats of those who built empires off slavery, drugs, organ trade, and war. Income tax was never about funding roads or schools. It was about tracking, controlling, and suppressing. And now, it’s being torched.
What You’re Not Being Told About June 2025
Behind the scenes, a quiet but monumental shift is underway:
As of June 15, military escorts have been assigned to guard physical gold reserves previously hidden beneath the New York Fed, now being transferred to secured QFS-certified bunkers under White Hat control.
Three IRS executive-level resignations were quietly processed on June 17, all tied to leaks implicating them in offshore laundering schemes for United Nations officials.
Over 12,000 inactive taxpayer accounts—coded as “non-domestic high net worth”—were declassified and reassigned under Trump’s June 21 Treasury Directive, allowing legal seizure of elite offshore holdings.
These are not random events. This is economic warfare at its most precise and brutal, and it’s being executed by a President who is no longer playing defense.
The Final Collapse of Their Control Grid
By eliminating the IRS, Trump is doing what Kennedy tried to do before he was silenced. He’s dismantling the financial control system that feeds every other corrupt institution. CIA black sites, FBI false flag ops, CDC poison pipelines, NGO trafficking networks—they all depend on that same income stream: your tax dollars.
With the IRS gone, they can’t fund their dark world anymore. Their media puppets won’t get paid. Their think tanks will collapse. Their bio-labs will run dry. And most importantly—they will have no leverage left over the American people.
What You Must Do Now
This is a turning point in history. If you make less than $150,000 per year, you’re about to be unshackled. No more handing over your hard-earned labor to a system that despises you. No more subsidizing globalism.
And if you’re paying attention, you’ll realize this isn’t just about your taxes—it’s about taking back your country.
President Trump is not reforming America.
He’s resurrecting it.
And the IRS is just the first to fall.
June 26, 2025 will be remembered as the day the tables turned.
The day the people stopped funding their own enslavement.
The day the elite’s grip began to crumble.
The IRS is dead. And America is rising.
It Was NEVER a Pandemic – Leaked Military Intel Confirms Fauci, Biden, and the CCP Launched COVID as a Mass Depopulation Bioweapon Using YOUR Tax Dollars!
Ethan White, Gazetteller, June 26, 2025
(https://tinyurl.com/mtxbbk2m)
They knew. They all knew. Fauci, [1] Biden, [2] the Pentagon, the CCP, and their globalist overlords. COVID-19 was not an accident. It was a coordinated biowarfare operation, sanctioned by corrupted U.S. intelligence, built in collaboration with Chinese military scientists, and unleashed upon humanity as the opening salvo of the Great Reset.
Today, on June 26, 2025, we no longer speculate. The evidence is concrete, the whistleblowers have spoken, and the timelines align. This was never about public health. This was about global control, mass sterilization, digital enslavement, and the destruction of national sovereignty—especially that of the United States of America.
Let’s get this straight: the so-called COVID-19 “virus” was manufactured. The Defense Intelligence Agency confirmed it in classified reports in 2020 that were buried under the orders of Biden’s handlers.
The real bioweapon, however, wasn’t the virus. It was the jab—an experimental spike protein injection that caused clots, strokes, miscarriages, turbo cancers, and mass infertility. And it was pumped into the arms of billions while globalist agents like Fauci, Gates, [3] and Klaus Schwab [4] laughed behind closed doors.
The U.S.–China Biowarfare Pact: Treason in the Highest Places
In 2020, a whistleblower-leaked DIA report revealed what was long suspected by patriots: U.S. military intelligence collaborated with the Chinese People’s Liberation Army at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
This wasn’t just oversight. This was treason. The virus was bioengineered, with U.S. taxpayer money funneled through Fauci’s NIAID into gain-of-function experiments on coronaviruses.
These experiments were not designed to prevent pandemics. They were designed to enhance lethality and transmissibility—to turn harmless animal viruses into weapons of war. And they succeeded. But it wasn’t just a scientific operation. It was a covert military assault on humanity, executed with the help of Big Tech, Big Pharma, and the United Nations.
The Plan: Mass Depopulation, Control, and the End of Sovereignty
The timeline is clear now:
- Fall 2019: A death in China matching COVID symptoms occurs—months before the “official outbreak.”
- October 2019: Intelligence signals a biological cleanup at the WIV lab. Also, U.S. military athletes fall ill during the World Military Games in Wuhan—another event conveniently hidden from public scrutiny.
- 2020: DIA confirms lab origin, but the Biden regime orders the deletion of lab-leak intelligence from the final ODNI report.
- 2021–2023: Injection campaigns rolled out. Fertility rates plummet, myocarditis cases skyrocket, and “died suddenly” becomes a global phenomenon.
- 2023–2024: Dr. Anthony Fauci’s phones are seized in an FBI criminal probe into COVID cover-ups. But mainstream media buries it.
June 2025: The House of Cards Collapses
As of June 26, 2025, the dam has cracked wide open. Classified documents are now being leaked from congressional archives, showing that the U.S. government had signals intelligence in mid-2019 pointing to a catastrophic lab breach in Wuhan. That means the deep state watched this unfold and let it happen. Why? Because it was part of the script.
The World Economic Forum, Gates Foundation, and Rockefeller-funded CDC were fully aware. They had already modeled “Event 201” in October 2019—a full-scale simulation of a coronavirus pandemic. It wasn’t a rehearsal. It was a blueprint.
And who was conveniently installed to usher it in? Joe Biden—the most compromised politician in modern American history. With Beijing pulling his strings via the Hunter laptop kompromat and massive CCP-linked bribes, he did what he was told: silence dissent, push the jabs, suppress lab-leak evidence, and obstruct President Trump’s return to power.
The Jab Was the Real Kill Switch
Let’s be very clear: the virus was just fear porn. The real attack was the mRNA injection campaign—rolled out under Operation Warp Speed but quickly hijacked by Big Pharma and the WHO.
These injections contained synthetic spike proteins designed to penetrate cell membranes, alter immune responses, and accumulate in the reproductive system. This is not a theory. It’s in the leaked Pfizer documents and classified military bio-research files.
Whistleblowers from DARPA and the NIH have since confirmed that forced spike protein exposure was intended to reduce global fertility by up to 70% within a decade. The result? A global collapse in birth rates now being reported across Europe, the U.S., Canada, and Australia. Mission accomplished—for the elites.
Fauci’s House of Lies Collapsing
Anthony Fauci’s empire is now in ruins. His communications are under federal investigation. Internal emails reveal he knew about the lab origin in January 2020 but publicly denounced it as “misinformation.”
He received direct briefings from military scientists warning of the engineered spike protein. He covered it up. Why? Because his fingerprints were on the funding pipeline that built the virus.
And it wasn’t just negligence—it was biological warfare against civilians.
Trump: The Only Leader Who Tried to Stop It
While Biden sold out to the Chinese and Fauci ran cover for the bioweapon release, Donald J. Trump was the only world leader who tried to halt this nightmare.
He shut down travel from China. He pushed for investigations into the WIV. He called out the WHO for their role in the cover-up and pulled funding. And for that, he was targeted by the entire Deep State complex—impeachments, fake indictments, FBI raids, and a rigged election.
Yet here we are, June 2025, and Trump is back. And so is the truth.
The Final Phase of the Elite Agenda
Don’t think it’s over. The same architects who launched COVID are preparing the next phase. Leaked files from the UN’s Geneva biolab reveal a new aerosolized neurotoxin prototype—coded “VX-9” by insiders—already tested on populations in Brazil and Sub-Saharan Africa.
This next wave won’t mimic a flu. It’ll induce neurological paralysis. Their plan: create permanent dependency on brain-computer interfaces and usher in central bank digital currency IDs to control access to medicine and food.
The WEF wants every human tracked, every immune system controlled, and every thought monitored. And they’ll unleash hell to get it.
Never Forget
This was never about saving lives. It was about culling the herd, destroying free nations, and reducing the global population to a manageable slave class.
The COVID operation was the gateway. The jab was the bioweapon. And every puppet who pushed it is complicit in a global crime against humanity.
Now is the time for absolute resistance. Bookmark plague.info. Expose the files. Share the documents. Warn the people.
This was not a pandemic. This was a declaration of war.

“We Just Signed with China Yesterday” – President Trump Announces Trade Deal with China – India in the Works
Jordan Conradson, Gateway Pundit, Jun. 26, 2025
(https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/06/video-we-just-signed-china-yesterday-president-trump/)
President Trump on Thursday announced that US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer has signed a trade deal with China, demonstrating once again that tariffs work!
The President spoke during a One Big Beautiful Bill event at the White House on Thursday, where he was joined by Administration officials, Members of Congress, conservative leaders, and everyday Americans who stand to benefit from the landmark One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
The event was intended to “rally Republicans to get the One Big Beautiful Bill across the finish line,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said earlier on Thursday.
While speaking about his success in bringing the United States back to life during the first five months of his second term, the President made the announcement that “we just signed with China yesterday.”
As The Gateway Pundit reported, earlier this month, President Trump officialized the US-UK trade agreement with an executive order, after he and UK Prime Minister Kier Starmer announced the deal last month.
The new agreement comes after President Trump had a tariff war with China, slapping steep tariffs of 145% at one point on chinese goods. Details of the new agreement are still unclear.
Trump: But in four months, they said you have the hottest country anywhere in the world. It’s not even close. And they thought we were dead a year before that. They said, I thought you were dead, the country was dead, and was pretty close to it, but we have the hottest country in the world, so it’s great. And Trade Representative Jamieson Greer is very busy, because— where are you, Jamieson? Everybody, everybody wants to make a deal and have a part of it, right?
I know you and Howard and Scott are working overtime, making deals with other countries. You remember a few months ago, the press was saying, “do you really have anybody of any interest?” Well, we just signed with China yesterday, right? Just signed with China. We have everybody. We’re not going to make deals with everybody. Some, we’re just going to send them a letter say, thank you very much. You’re going to pay 25, 35, 45%. That’s the easy way to do it, and my people don’t want to do it that way. They want to do some of it, but they want to make more deals than I would do.
But we’re having some great deals. We have one coming up, maybe, with India, a very big one, where we’re going to open up India. In the China deal, we’re starting to open up China, things that never really could have happened. And the relationship with every country has been very good.
RFK Jr. Freezes All U.S. Funding to GAVI, the Vaccine Alliance Co-Founded by Bill Gates — It’s OVER for Bill Gates and His CRIMINAL Vaccine Syndicate ‘GAVI’ [VIDEO]
Medeea Greere, AMG News, June 26, 2025
(https://tinyurl.com/533dj842)
RFK Jr. just cut off Bill Gates’ blood pipeline — the U.S. freezes every damn dollar to GAVI. No more funding for censorship, coercion, or pharmaceutical tyranny. The vaccine mafia is DONE. The lies are DEAD. And the reckoning has BEGUN.
The game is over. The curtain has fallen. And the era of silent compliance is DEAD. In a move that will echo through every dark corridor of the global vaccine regime, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — now Secretary of Health and Human Services under President Donald J. Trump — has SLAMMED the door shut on GAVI, the Vaccine Alliance co-founded by Bill Gates. The United States of America, the backbone funder of this medical-globalist death machine, has officially frozen all future payments.
“Business as usual is OVER.”
Those are the words. Not whispered. Not negotiated. Delivered like a verdict.
GAVI — THE ENGINE OF VACCINE TYRANNY
Since its inception in 2000, GAVI has served not as a health initiative, but as a pharmaceutical front — a delivery mechanism for mass experimentation, social control, and untraceable global influence. With over $4.1 billion funneled from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and another $3.1 billion pledged for 2016–2025, the organization cemented itself as the operational arm of vaccine absolutism.
But it gets worse:
Between 2001 and today, the U.S. taxpayer has unknowingly funded this beast with over $8 BILLION — funneled through public-private “partnerships” designed to bypass constitutional scrutiny, transparency, and accountability.
What did America get in return? Censorship. Coercion. Contamination. An army of unelected bureaucrats deciding what goes into your bloodstream — and what you’re allowed to say about it.
RFK Jr. — THE HAMMER STRIKES
No longer a lone voice in the wilderness, RFK Jr. now wields real power — and he’s using it with surgical precision.
“I call on GAVI to re-earn the public trust and to justify the $8 BILLION that America has funded since 2001. Until that happens…the United States won’t contribute more to GAVI.”
With those words, Kennedy detonated decades of pharmaceutical blackmail. The money pipeline is shut off. The message is unmistakable: You’ve lied, you’ve silenced, you’ve killed — and you will NOT be rewarded.
“Business as usual is over.”
Not a warning. Not a request. A judgment.
GAVI’S CRIMES — CENSORSHIP, COLLUSION, CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE
In his official statement, Kennedy doesn’t hold back. He publicly indicts GAVI for treating vaccine safety not as a medical concern — but as a public relations obstacle:
“The Vaccine Alliance has neglected the key issue of vaccine safety. When vaccine safety issues have come before GAVI, it has treated them not as a patient health problem, but as a public relations problem.”
Let that sink in:
GAVI’s response to rising vaccine injury rates, scientific doubt, and emerging data wasn’t to investigate, correct, or halt — but to manage optics. That’s not health policy. That’s corporate cover-up on a genocidal scale.
Worse still, GAVI didn’t act alone.
“During the COVID-19 pandemic, GAVI partnered with the World Health Organization to recommend best practices for social media companies to silence dissenting views and to stifle free speech and legitimate questions.”
Translation: they coordinated global censorship to protect their profits.
They didn’t just ban dissent — they erased evidence, destroyed careers, and let people DIE in silence, just to keep the narrative polished.
A NEW STANDARD — REAL SCIENCE OR NO FUNDING
Kennedy isn’t just pulling funding. He’s flipping the entire paradigm on its head. For decades, success in public health was measured by one thing: how many doses you could inject into the population — not how safe they were, not how effective, not how necessary.
That ends now.
“GAVI should consider the best science available, even when that science contradicts established paradigms. It should define success not just in terms of the number of vaccines delivered, but on their rigorously measured overall impacts.”
This is the death of pharmaceutical dogma. Kennedy demands real metrics, honest science, and human accountability. No more manufactured consensus. No more “safe and effective” mantras. If a vaccine injures or kills — it WILL be counted, and the criminals behind it WILL be held accountable.

White House Recommends Slashing U.S. Funding for Nearly Two Dozen Global War Crimes and Accountability Programs — Global NGO Cartel Howls as the Gravy Train Derails
Jim Hᴏft, Gateway Pundit, Jun. 26, 2025
(https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/06/white-house-recommends-slashing-u-s-funding-nearly/)
President Trump’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB) just lobbed a political grenade at the foreign-aid swamp, recommending an immediate end to nearly two dozen “war-crimes and accountability” projects that have quietly siphoned U.S. tax dollars into the pockets of activist lawyers, globalist NGOs, and ivory-tower academics from Kyiv to Yangon.
According to internal documents reviewed by Reuters, the White House directive puts roughly $70 million in State-Department grants on the chopping block—including an $18 million sweetheart deal for Georgetown University operatives embedded in Ukraine’s Prosecutor General’s Office.
Among the loudest complainers: Global Rights Compliance and the Legal Action Network—two foreign outfits billing Washington to “document” Russian atrocities while angling for lucrative courtroom show-trials in The Hague.
The OMB memo gives Secretary of State Marco Rubio a narrow window to appeal, but insiders say Rubio is unlikely to rescue most projects.
Any bureau that wants a reprieve must prove “direct alignment” with the President’s America-First agenda—a nearly impossible hurdle for programs built to advance the Left’s “global justice” hustle.
Reuters reported:
The OMB recommendation is yet another sign that the administration is increasingly de-prioritizing advocacy for human rights and rule of law globally, an objective that previous U.S. administrations have pursued.
While U.S. foreign aid freezes had already started hampering an international effort to hold Russia responsible for alleged war crimes in Ukraine, Wednesday’s recommendations raise the risk of U.S. completely abandoning those efforts.
Among the programs that are recommended for termination is a $18 million State Department grant for Ukraine’s Prosecutor General’s Office that is implemented by Georgetown University’s International Criminal Justice Initiative, two sources said.
[…]
Other programs include one that does accountability work on Myanmar army’s atrocities against Rohingya minorities as well as on the persecution of Christians and other minorities by Syria’s ousted former president Bashar al-Assad, two sources said.
While the OMB recommendations could face State Department push-back, the criteria to appeal are set very strictly.
In an internal State Department email, the administration cautioned that any effort to preserve programs that were recommended to be terminated should be thoroughly argued and directly aligned with Washington’s priorities.
