MAMDANI: THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE — Handpicked by the Corrupt WFP–DSA Machine, Fueled by Soros Cash and a Web of Interlocking Nonprofits 

Mamdani may present himself as a champion of an affordable working-class movement of New Yorkers, but behind his polished, grassroots image lies a troubling truth: his rise is not organic. It is the product of a well-oiled, ideologically left-wing political machine that has spent over a decades quietly seizing control of New York’s government and politics, despite three major federal investigations—election by election, office by office. 

Mamdani didn’t build the progressive political movement that propelled him to victory in the Democratic Primary—it chose him. Today’s progressive machine is a turnkey operation, selecting candidates it knows can win. Controlled by the behind the scenes operatives who control Working Families Party (WFP) and the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), and bankrolled by a shadowy web of nonprofit dollars, left-wing billionaire-funded PACs, and even some foreign-linked interests, this network elevated Mamdani not for his record or experience, but because he is the perfect vessel for their radical takeover agenda: soft-spoken, media-savvy, and photogenic enough to charm voters while carrying out their radical blueprint. 

@SamAntar: Zohran Mamdani is a millionaire’s son who got his first political job through his mommy’s nonprofit and a Working Families Party machine funded by Soros and Tides—he had a whole NGO industrial complex behind him. 

Political Machines Pick Candidates, Not Voters 

The WFP, with fewer than 20,000 registered voters, and the DSA, with just 6,400 members, has taken over NY politics and government. These groups have created what amounts to a privatized version of Tammany Hall, backed by powerful unions, taxpayer-funded nonprofits, and left-wing billionaires like George Soros and Neville Roy Singham. Their goal isn’t just to win elections—it’s to radically overthrow New York City, remaking the center of American capitalism, into a socialist beachhead.  This is not just politics. It’s ideological colonization by outsiders, 71.5% of Mamdani’s primary money came from billionaires/out-of-state—turning New York into a testing ground for a national socialist experiment, which has failed everywhere it’s been tried. 

And no one in the media is asking the most important question: Who is funding this push to seize control of NYC—are America’s adversaries using this ideological movement as cover for political destabilization of America?  

How Soros, WFP, DSA, JFREJ, and AOC Engineered NYC’s Progressive Takeover of NY 
For more than two decades, George Soros’s money has poured through a maze of nonprofits, left-wing parties, and political operatives—including ACORN, the WFP, DSA, Bill de Blasio’s PACs, Brad Lander, and their consulting arm, Berlin Rosen—powering the creation and building of New York’s most formidable socialist progressive machine. This network operates with military precision: interlocking organizations, shared staff, and a unified goal—to remake New York City into a socialist collective. Federal investigations into money laundering, shell companies, and PACs built to bypass election laws have repeatedly been launched against the The progressive political machine managed to hijack the New York Democratic Party — with its more than three million registered voters — even though the Working Families Party has just 17,137 registered members and the Democratic Socialists of America only about 6,400 in NYC. Together, that’s less than 0.5% of the city’s 4.6 million registered voters. By contrast, the Tammany Hall machine under Boss Tweed commanded the loyalty of over two million Democratic voters — an actual mass base, not a niche activist cadre.m—yet, without explanation, every case has been quietly dropped. 

With the WFP and DSA at the helm—and ideological allies like Soros and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s PACs, Comptroller Brad Lander and his wife’s network of government-funded nonprofits, and powerful unions such as the UFT, 1199 SEIU, CWA, and the Hotel and Motel Trades Council—this socialist movement has built a dominating fundraising operation for the candidates they back, that has never been investigated by the press 

How NY’s Corrupt Socialist Political Machine Was Built 

The roots of Mamdani’s Democratic primary victory stretch back to one of the most notorious scandals in modern NYC politics. In the late 2000s, ACORN — the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now — imploded after Congressional and federal investigations revealed it had misused $53 million in federal funds, along with millions more in state and local taxpayer money, to boost Democratic candidates and enrich its own insiders. 

By 2010, ACORN was shut down in disgrace. But its network, its operatives, and its playbook for turning government grants into political power didn’t disappear — they simply rebranded, resurfacing in new organizations that would eventually feed the WFP-DSA machine now powering Mamdani. 

From ACORN’s wreckage, the WFP rose—staffed by the very same operatives who immediately set up a fresh network of government-funded nonprofits to rebuild their power. Groups like Make the Road New York, Citizen Action of New York, and New York Communities for Change became the new engines of the far-left, quietly consolidating influence across the city. Today, these same groups form the backbone of the political machine that delivered Mamdani’s primary victory. 

In 2009, the WFP, George Soros’s PACs, and their web of government-funded, union-backed nonprofits played a decisive role in propelling Bill de Blasio to victory in the NYC Public Advocate race. Their secret weapon was Data and Field Services (DFS)—a for-profit political consulting firm created and funded by WFP allied unions. 

DFS operated in the shadows, charging WFP candidates far below market rates—laundering union money into campaigns in defiance of the city’s public financing laws. The scheme, which flouted strict spending limits and rules on in-kind contributions, would later draw serious federal scrutiny. 

The success of DFS and the WFP’s machine set the stage for 2013, when de Blasio’s mayoral win was accompanied by the election of six socialist-aligned City Council members, including Brad Lander and Jumaane Williams—cementing the far-left’s foothold in City Hall. 

The Feds dropped their investigation into the WFP’s shadow campaign tool, Data and Field Services, after the party agreed to shut it down. But the same cabal of WFP leaders—veterans of the ACORN corruption scandal—quickly resurfaced alongside top de Blasio officials and lobbyists, including BerlinRosen (another ACORN alumnus), in a new federal probe. This time, the target was the Campaign for One New York (CONY), a de Blasio-run super PAC. Operated by his shadow-government lobbyists and bankrolled by Soros, real estate developers, and city contractors seeking favors at City Hall. CONY’s mission was clear: wipe out moderate Democrats who voted with the Republicans and replace them with ‘woke’ Democratics to lock the State Senate under hard-left control. Despite the scheme, the effort failed in 2014 to flip control of the State Senate from Republican to Democrat — and instead triggered yet another federal investigation, this time into money laundering through upstate Democratic Party accounts tied to the progressive machine. 

The CONY federal pay-to-play probe was quietly buried in 2017—but it didn’t slow down Bill de Blasio, the WFP, or their Soros-funded dark-money nonprofits. With federal and state election watchdogs still circling, they changed tactics. In 2018, they unleashed their new weapon—the Democratic Socialists of America—as a proxy army to wage scorched-earth primaries against eight moderate Democratic state senators. The purge worked. The moderates were toppled, Republicans lost control of the State Senate, and Albany’s newly empowered woke majority rammed through the disastrous 2019 no-bail law, sparking a citywide crime wave. By 2021, the DSA had teamed up with AOC to seize the City Council, crowning Brad Lander as Comptroller, Antonio Reynoso as Brooklyn Borough President, and installing more than a dozen socialist-aligned Council Members—cementing a socialist’s grip on City Hall. 

By empowering the DSA and its militant activist network, the WFP, de Blasio, and Soros locked a dangerous new faction into their political machine—one that has put the safety of Jewish New Yorkers at risk. Many DSA leaders are openly hostile to Israel and serve as organizers of the city’s most aggressive pro-Palestinian protest marches, including the rally outside Senator Chuck Schumer’s apartment where Mamdani was arrested just six days after the October 7th Hamas massacre, demanding a ceasefire. Today, this DSA bloc is a central pillar of New York’s progressive machine, wielding enormous influence over policy and elections. It was the DSA’s organizing muscle that powered Mamdani’s 2020 Assembly primary victory—and without their dominance inside the progressive machine, it’s doubtful that this radical, openly antisemitic politician would now be their leading contender for mayor in 2025. 

The WFP and DSA don’t just endorse candidates—they manufactured the next generation of political operatives. These aren’t weekend volunteers; they’re seasoned lobbyists, elected officials, and paid consultants embedded in every level of city and state politics. From ACORN to WFP to DSA, progressives have trained a disciplined army of socialist activist’s adept at winning campaigns, canvassing door-to-door, shaping narratives through New York’s overwhelmingly liberal press, and weaponizing primary challenge threats to intimidate moderate Democrats into submission. The result is a socialist political machine that now dominates the City Council and controls the Albany legislature, punishing any Democrat who dares to resist. It’s no coincidence that Soros-funded Jewish Voice for Peace is leading demonstrations demanding a ceasefire outside the homes of Senators Schumer and Gillibrand — both of whom have refused to endorse Mamdani’s mayoral run. 

NY’s Socialist Machine Has Orchestrated a Clandestine Takeover of the City’s Jewish Community for Over a Decade 

Reports show that between 20% and 35% of Jewish New Yorkers voted for Mamdani in the Democratic primary. A central weapon of this socialist machine’s push for Jewish support is Jews for Racial and Economic Justice (JFREJ) — an organization that has steadily gained influence within the city’s Jewish community over the last decade. 

At the heart of this network is Comptroller Brad Lander, a former JFREJ board member and co-founder of its endorsement arm, Jewish Vote. Lander’s campaigns were fueled by millions in George Soros money, and his inner circle reflects these connections. His former chief of staff, Councilmember Shahana Hanif — backed by the DSA and Jewish Vote — voted against a City Council resolution condemning antisemitism. Both Hanif and Mamdani were arrested at protests demanding a Gaza ceasefire alongside activists from Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) — an anti-Israel group labeled by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) as one of the country’s most virulent. 

JFREJ, JVP, and Jewish Vote are tightly intertwined, each receiving steady cash injections from Soros’s Tides Foundation. This is not philanthropy — it’s the deliberate construction of a political invasion and disinformation machine aimed at ripping apart the city’s cultural fabric and taking over NYC politics. 

Little understood by outsiders is that at the center of New York’s progressive machine stands JFREJ — the nonprofit behind “Jews for Zohran” and Jewish Vote — operating as Mamdani’s effective progressive Jewish arm. Though it hides its donor list, watchdogs trace millions back to Soros’s Open Society Foundation and Marxist billionaire Neville Roy Singham, a pro-Beijing propagandist who funded nonprofits that launched the openly hostile “Globalize the Intifada” campaign. Singham’s niece, Alicia Singham Goodwin, who runs JFREJ, started “Jews for Zohran,” led by Congressman Jerry Nadler. 

JFREJ’s mission goes far beyond mere endorsements. It seeks to rewrite Jewish political identity itself — supplanting mainstream Jewish values with hard-left ideology and aggressive anti-Israel activism, especially during election cycles. 

How the WFP, DSA & Soros’s Socialist Used Their Corrupt Interlocking Political Machine to Win the Democratic Primary for Mamdani 

Sam Antar Exposes the Elite-Funded Scam Behind Mamdani’s So-Called “Grassroots” Campaign. From Soros to Spielberg — The Billionaire Boys Club That Bought You Socialist Mamdani 

The numbers don’t lie: 71.5% of Mamdani’s primary funding came from billionaires and out-of-state donors — the very people he claims to oppose. His $10.2 million “grassroots” campaign was bankrolled by Silicon Valley elites like GitHub co-founders, Rocket Money’s millionaire executives, and angel investor Tariq Afaq Ahmed, who personally dropped $25,000 into his super PAC. Even Bill Gates’ daughter and Hollywood director Steven Spielberg chipped in. NYC’s own Keith McNally, the celebrity restaurateur, also made the millionaire donor list. 

So, while Mamdani rails against “oligarchy,” maybe he should check his own receipts. And while we’re at it — why isn’t New York’s press asking how a self-proclaimed socialist became the billionaire class’s favorite candidate? 

THE MONEY TRAIL: From Soros’s Open Society Foundation to Silicon Valley tech founders to Hollywood royalty, the cash pipeline behind Mamdani’s rise tells a story the media won’t touch. 

THE FIMILAR MONEY TRAIL FOR WFP’S PROGRESSIVE MACHINE  

$24M – George Soros → Tides Foundation; $4.6M – Tides → Working Families Organization (political arm); $16.1M – Taxpayer grants to Nonprofits → Make the Road NY; $2.2M – PAC cash to back Mamdani; Same-day penny-perfect circular payments prove coordination; 8-to-1 taxpayer match multiplied billionaire donations 

MAMDANI’S TEAM USED THE SAME SHELL GAME OF LAUNDERING CAMPAING FUNDS STARTED BY ACORN, WFP’S DFS, AND DE BLASIO’S CONY NONPROFIT PAC 

Like money laundering obscures criminal funding sources, grassroots laundering obscures elite political control through a systematic process: 

Step 1: Government grants and billionaire tax-deductible donations flow into 501(c)(3) charitable organizations 

Step 2: These 501(c)(3) organizations transfer funds to affiliated 501(c)(4) political advocacy groups 

Step 3: 501(c)(4) organizations directly support WFP-endorsed candidates and attack their opponents 

Step 4: Coordinated fundraising generates taxpayer matching funds (8-to-1 ratio) 

Step 5: Elected candidates support the very programs that fund the 501(c)(3) organizations, completing the cycle 

How Soros Gets Funding to the WFP  

George Soros funds Tides Foundation with $6.9M in 2023; Make the Road NY nonprofit receives $16.1M in direct taxpayer grants 501c3→501c4 transfers begin; Make the Road NY (501c3) → $165K to Make the Road Action (501c4); Center for Popular Democracy (501c3) → $50K to Working Families Organization (501c4); Tides Foundation (501c3) → $4.6M to Working Families Organization (501c4). Wealthy donors receive tax deductions for donations to 501(c)(3) organizations, with taxpayers footing the bill for those deductions. Meanwhile, these same 501(c)(3) organizations receive direct government grants. Both funding streams then get transferred to 501(c)(4) political operations. The result: taxpayers subsidize elite political operations twice—first by paying for wealthy donors’ tax deductions, then through direct government grants to organizations that fund political activities.
