In typical fashion you have gone off half cocked. You obviously read just the first line and simply decided to trash the whole post.
Firstly, you have cited plenty of dodgy and extremely partisan sites in previous threads particularly around Israel.
Secondly, I clearly know far more about genetics than you do. I had a mother that was a research scientist in biology, and grew up with a microscope and spent time as a teenager looking at viruses through an electron microscope, and as such caught you out when you fluffed the mitochondrial DNA.
The type of DNA markers that the Prof was talking about are typically spread around large large population groups and would not differentiate between say English and Italian, but between English and African or Australian.
So to say that the markers are specific to the USA is pure BS. The information suggests that it covers all North America and at least central America. How much further it extends is yet to be tested, but is likely to include the entire continent. Given that EW's native ancestry is so dilute, normal indicators of ethnicity are unreliable, and technically EW's ancestor could have come from anywhere on the continent.
Finally, though these markers are rare in people not from the continental USA, they are not unheard of, and with only a few of these markers, even 100% European ancestry is not ruled out.
So when you have something substantial and can do more than wave vaguely at your narrow interpretation of the prof's comments then we can talk.
