What a nerve, James O'Keefe is Project Veritas. No James, no donation.
Yup. I support James, not Project Veritas.
It's a 30 coins of silver moment. Betrayal must be met with a complete dissolution of support.
Incredibly stupid and short-sighted of the board. Followers on social media are jumping ship. Donors jumping ship.
This is absolutely awesome!!! Swift and poetic justice.
The final nail in the coffin: O'Keefe forms new company and syphons 100% of his former staff.
It makes it easy for him considering that all the back stabbers signed the complaint letter. I am sure he will organize things a bit different going forward and do a better job at vetting people. No doubt this was an organized hit job. I wonder if James has been doing undercover on the undercover? I would be interesting, especially now since they are trying to smear him with accusations of financial maleficence.
Respectfully, how do we know that James didn't do something that would suggest he has other allegiances and was kicked out for that reason?
After disrupting daily operations significantly by firing the CEO who happens to also be an integral part of the strategy and on the ground journalist team, the board advises former donors that they are separated from the day to day operations.
Some people complained including an allegation that he once stole a sandwich from a pregnant woman?
With this one particular complaint being what they pulled out to report on, what were the other complaints from the 16 people? If this is the highlight, its a bullshit letter of complaint.
They accused him of stealing money for his wedding reception. Except he isn't even MARRIED! The money was for a wedding hall for the Project Veritas Christmas party. But the board is so stupid, they saw "wedding" and accused him of theft. They didn't even know he wasn't married. They are completely clueless and out of touch.
These board members keep making up bullshit. First, they say James mistreated employees. Then they whip up a "luxury items" thing. I guess James causing climate change is next.
My thoughts exactly. Stealing a sandwich? Really? Next thing you're gonna list is that O'Keefe ate his own boogers during meetings.
I want a hot dog....no....a hamburger.....a soda...
You'll get nothing and like it!
If you haven't seen it yet, watch his exit speech from Presidents Day. His version of the events is much different and more likely than this version!
O'Keefe called Spencer Meads a "pussy” lmao 😂
If that were a dismissable offense I wouldnt have anyone working for me. Calling someone a pussy is a daily occurrence on the job.
worked as a roughneck on a drilling rig and you start slacking and you would here "CMON GIRLS"...and thats the nice version
Its the same as the grab em by the pussy comment. Big Mike said his brother or cousin or whatever was a college coach and they didnt speak like that in the lockerroom. Hahaha fuck that. I have two girls that work for me and they are not spared this kind of talk. The boys talk like boy talk on the job site or in the lockerroom. I joke with the kids all the time they are lucky they work in the trades otherwise theyd have human resources charging them with sexual harrassment.
The girls dont shrink like a lily either. They give as good as they get. It absolutely cracks me up when one of my girls, beautiful 25 year old, walks by the boys and gives them a good stealth bomb and then sits back as the boys smell it and begins laughing her ass off.
some of everybody wants everybody else to change for them to not offend...my advice to them...stay home..we dont need you out here
This is a "tell" detail. (Not that we needed one). but having them include this as one of their grievances shows us they are woketards. Spencer lol.
Go woke go broke. James was Project Veritas. No more donations from me. Unfollowed them too!
Kek. People are loyal to O'Keefe, not PV.
When James gets up and running again I hope his first expose will be these assholes.
"an allegation that he once stole a sandwich from a pregnant woman" Without him there is no PV.
What kind of sandwich was it? This will effect my opinion on the matter.
Broodwich Trap!!
They can't even lie competently. The stupidity required to think that anyone would believe this is astounding.
My opinion is that O'Keefe possibly has more damaging video that has not been released or that this is retaliation from Pfizer for the latest leak on mutating the viruses to sell more vaccines. Firing him from PV might prevent or at least delay the release of the future material, or at any rate, would possibly decrease the audience. They know that PV will collapse without him, but they have no problem sacrificing a company that did not build.
Agree with this entirely!! The man is a master of covert sting ops. I guarantee he has a sh!tload of incrementing stuff against the mole board member(s).
Indeed. But they REEEAAAALLLYY would have loved it if everyone doing monthly subscription donations would have kept on to automatically renew each month so that they could have that money.
I received a letter this am.
Here is my response, minus personal details:
"You handled this so poorly no trust remains.
All that remains are the millions of Patriots waiting to see where O'Keefe lands.
Where We Go One - We Go All isn't just a hashtag.
Good luck building anything sustainable from the ash heap your board, et al created.
Get wrekt."
They wanted to get involved and they sure are now.
Imagine starting your own company, making it enormously successful by being the face of it, then the people you hired and brought with you decide they are going to take your company away from you. Dirty.
NO money for stupid or evil people / businesses - it is that simple for someone with a brain!
3 things will happen.
James will start new company
All of his best undercover journalists will follow him.
Donations will flow in.
When is James going to start suing them?
FAFO, ASSCLOWNS.
Yeah I'll bet you "can't stress" it. And even if you could you'd need to stress something else. If the board's role is so separate from what PV usually does then why does the board exist?
Why does a smallish operation like PV even need a board that large?
Right, that's supposed to be a selling point? Lol
Project Veritas is done. The board lied, and every donor knows it.
The board HAD to know that this was going to be the end result. I wonder if the DS got to one or more of them. Blackmail, physical threat to family? The way they're acting is weird. The excuses are incredibly lame. I'm suprised that there wasn't an accusation of sexual misconduct. Because they always throw that in. For good measure.
Which leads me to wonder if the board had acted under duress. The lame issues then make more sense. The lack of sexual misconduct is key. Saying he's mean is just dumb.
How much money did they take from Pfizer to do this?
The timing is what really thwarts their efforts to keep donors...right after the Pfizer story?! Come on!!
James was right. This all blew up after PV exposed Pfizer. They can sugar coat the reason any way they want. MAGA anons know why. 16 people just outed themselves. James didn’t name names.
I got an email from PV this morning. It went to the deleted items.
I responded to mine in the small chance someone reads it: "James O'Keefe is Project Veritas. My attention, money and support will follow him."
How are they still “grinding and pursuing stories of great public importance” when the whole staff is quitting if the board doesn’t step down?
Yeah I've donated to them in the past, but I am done with that organization with no James
This could be a great opportunity for James to start another PV 2, and weed out the traitors. That email reminded me of Prince Harry's book "WAH" on SouthPark.
What did they think was going to happen? What they did was dirty.
They think that destroying the company is permanent. They think they've stopped all the undercover videos. But they won't be in charge of a new company. And I'm sure it will be structured differently.
Donors need to start suing to get their donations back.
I asked for my late January donation to be refunded today, which it was immediately. It's almost like the board is TRYING to kill PV on purpose. Hmmmmm...
I made a donation at the end of January and just emailed PV today requesting that they refund it immediately (or that I would instigate a chargeback if they didn't). To my surprise, they IMMEDIATELY refunded my donation, with the following bogus and laughable reply:
=======
"Your donation has been processed for a refund. It is our duty to give our supporters the truth besides the false narratives going around on the internet. We hope you will earn our trust back support us in the future. Our mission is important, and we will continue to expose corruption.
The Project Veritas Team
=======
"False narratives." More like, they know they've LOST the narrative on this. Goodbye, PV -- I doubt you'll be missed.
I received an email from The Project Veritas Team this morning:
Dear XXXX, We understand and share your frustrations. We all love and respect James and hope he returns. This is difficult for everyone.
An independent two-dimensional audit is being arranged to examine all of the issues, including those outlined below:
Breaking the Bylaws of the organization by unilaterally dismissing the CFO and co-opting another board member’s vote by saying that board member supported the dismissal (they did not).
Private inurement/fiduciary responsibility (using donations for private benefit). The board included in its statement what it is aware of so far which clearly warrants this internal audit to ensure your hard-earned, and graciously donated, money is utilized appropriately. We hope to know more details around this soon.
Concern with employment laws/workplace safety regarding appropriate treatment of the employees was based, in part, on his interaction with senior staff in a Leadership call on January 31, 2023. Staff across multiple departments were ready to leave PV immediately if his conduct remained unaddressed.
Project Veritas has had 140 employees leave the company over the last seven years, some through their own volition, others were terminated, and the organization has incurred legal expenditures because of some of those terminations/actions. 20 of the 140 employees were in management positions leading to potential succession plan issues to assure the long-term viability of the company.
James’ “removal” was not a removal. He specifically said he did not resign, and the board did not fire him. The board placed him on a temporary suspension until the audit was completed. The board wanted him to delegate management of staff to the department heads so he can focus his true talent, efforts, and best use of his time on the journalism/stories and less on the day-to-day personnel management.
He has been invited, but has chosen not to, engage in conversations with the board and management following steps taken so far with the goal of returning to Project Veritas. Instead, he requested no change in authority and that most of the officers and all of the board of directors immediately resign.
For what it’s worth, there are 60+ of us here at PV who remain passionately dedicated to James’ mission. It is what brought all of us together. While we cannot control online narratives, and unfortunately cannot chime in to individually defend ourselves in the public sphere at present, we can assure you we remain steadfast and determined to expose corruption.
The mission and our work continue. We just released the following this afternoon:
Veritas Attorney Responds to Pfizer Security's Use of Force Towards PV Journalists
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6-M32Z3jZ8
We hope that you might continue to give us a chance. We can’t stress how separate the board’s role is from daily operations here at PV. We are still grinding and pursuing stories of great public importance.
In either case, thank you so much for your support in the past and we hope we might regain your trust if you’ll give us a chance.
In Veritas,
The Project Veritas Team
My reply:
You can shove whatever you're peddling right up the poop chute. It's painfully obvious what you filth did to JOK. PV was HIS creation. HE made it what it became before you filth staged your coup. You criminals will lose in this because people don't appreciate or support dishonesty and/or liars. You will never receive a penny from me and I will tell everyone that I know what you demons did.
You have no idea what my frustrations might be. You do not love and respect JOK and you do not want him to return because you fired him. It is pfainfully obvious why you ran him out of his own company.......Pfizer. Those journalists who were left behind most likely will rejoin JOK. You have absolutely NO credibility or integrity.
YOU filth fired him. From his own company. YOU are not Project Veritas. Lie all you want but you have been and will continue to be found wanting. God hates liars. Congrats.
Remove me from any lists that you have.
Whoa! Shots fired!
Good one ;)
Thanks.
This pregnant lady turned a missing sandwich into a missing job. The man hadn't eaten all day and had to be in court. They made a video about it a while ago. Apparently he took the first thing he could find.
the proverbial throwing the baby out with the bath water...now all they have is an empty tub
Dasting! I saw two typos in the email! Missing 't' in organization and 'wiht'.
Why is that interesting? We have a growing generation that can’t spell
Also typing on a phone results on some typos. Drives me nuts when I do it.
That's why I don't do it. I don't carry a cellphone/tracking device. I type on a real desktop computer.
Which is also chock full of telemetry.
No it's not. I built it myself from scratch over 10 years ago. I know what's in it. There's no camera or microphone. It doesn't even have wireless. It has to be plugged directly into a router to use the internet. I also installed all the software on it. Very little is not open source.
I have 4 desktops and 2 laptops .... all running unix;)
The most I've run at one time is two, and that was many years ago. I had both towers connected to a Belkin switch box, so I could use the same keyboard, mouse, and monitor for each. Only one was online. The other was not connected.
If you run an Nvidia GPU, it has telemetry. If you run an AMD GPU, it has telemetry.
The drivers themselves contain telemetry for your PC components.
If you are online, it has telemetry. It doesn't matter if you "built it from scratch", because you didn't create the microarchitecture of each individual piece, you didn't create the drivers that allow it to run.
Building your PC just lets you control what components are put in, it doesn't change what those components do.
Also, if you're on Windows, that has telemetry. Linux forks are starting to add it as well.
Many of us build our own PCs "from scratch", but "from scratch" doesn't mean we make all the components and code them.
When did this start? Everything in my computer is way over 10 years old. So long ago I don't even remember the brands inside. I'd have to pop the case and check. And it's so heavy, it's hard for me to move easily. It has the largest tower case in the computer store at the time and the largest power supply they had.
I use a landline. Might as well as that's the fastest sure internet around here. It doesn't cost that much when you consider that it includes DSL as well.
Some people think that everything ever is comms
"OH LOOK!! HE RAISED HIS EYEBROWS 1/10 OF AN INCH LESS THEN USUAL!!! OBVIOUSLY IT MEANS SOMETHING!"
It would be “1/7th of an inch, which is 17 without the slash” LOL. Honestly though, it actually takes away from real comms. If everything is comms then nothing is comms
