Project Veritas is dead to me.
PRIOR – There is likely to be much more to come out about the situation as it genuinely unfolds; however, in the interim the main thrust of the news says James O’Keefe “resigned” from Project Veritas.
{Background 1 and Background 2}
Neil McCabe of One America News Network (OANN) broke the news on Twitter [SOURCE] However there are several voices saying O’Keefe was ousted by the board.
It is impossible to imagine Project Veritas without its founder, James O’Keefe.
The news today follows the announcement on February 9th that James O’Keefe was being put on leave by the Project Veritas board of directors {link}, and then another announcement on February 15th by Project Veritas claiming the board of directors had no issues with O’Keefe {link}.
According to media reporting, O’Keefe read his resignation letter to the board of directors and to the people at Project Veritas. However, there have been no statements from James O’Keefe since the initial issue surfaced over two weeks ago.
(Via Yahoo) […] The board reversed O’Keefe’s firing of two top executives, and received a lengthy memo from unhappy employees detailing O’Keefe’s allegedly “outright cruel” conduct.
A video of O’Keefe announcing his resignation was posted to the video website Vimeo.
The news that O’Keefe had been sidelined in the group he founded provoked outrage on the right, with many conservative pundits tweeting that Project Veritas would be nothing without him. Project Veritas’s board and remaining executives had tried to heal the rift, insisting in a bizarre tweet last week under the organization’s name that O’Keefe was “alive and well.” Just days before the resignation, the board put out a statement insisting that its members “all love James.”
O’Keefe and the board didn’t respond to immediate requests for comment.
O’Keefe’s resignation was first announced on Twitter by Neil McCabe, a reporter at conservative cable channel One America News. McCabe told The Daily Beast that O’Keefe resigned from the group without striking a severance deal with the board.
“He just resigns and walks out the door to start a new life,” McCabe said. “Now we’ll see: does the organization he created survive?” (read more)
Without James O’Keefe, there is no Project Veritas. It really is that simple.
Regardless of what internecine issues and Machiavellian board maneuvers created this fracture, James O’Keefe will succeed wherever he lands.
James O’Keefe is the living legacy of his mentor Andrew Breitbart.
CTH stands with James O’Keefe.
I look forward to seeing what James does next. Let’s hope it is very soon!
The above tweet points out a damning fact. They lied. To every donor. The PV board should be sued into oblivion – individually and as a group.
James O’Keefe got Pfizer. Unfortunately, you live by the sword, you die by the sword. James just needs another sword and some more $$$. We love you James!
I look forward to directly supporting Mr. OKeefe in his next project. I have never supported him before, but now I want him to know that he is a hero of mine. his resignation speech was the best report veritas ever produced.

This is a good honest man who deserves the truth behind this. My guess “Big Pharma” threatened the Board. It is what they do. James will create something bigger and better. Project Veritas without James will not make it! Looking forward to what is next!! My sincere gratitude for what you have and will continue to accomplish.
I don’t think they were threatened. I think they have a few Board members (traitors) working with Big Pharma, infiltrated.
Paid off.
could be, I just know from experience that “Big Pharma” does not play well with others. Their lies are being exposed. Their so-called cures are being exposed! “Big Pharma” has made trillions and the reps have convinced doctors with regards to their products and have made trillions themselves. It’s been an game played on us all!
I stand with James. An American hero!
Here’s the names of the Board of Directors of Project Veritas that did this:
Matt Tyrmhand
John Garvey
George Skakel
Joseph Barton (not the congressman)
Steve Alembik
Tom O’Hara – CFO
Barry (Benjamin) Hinckley – COO
Very interesting that a Skakel and a Hinckley are on that board.
They are all men
A real man doesn’t have to post he/him after HIS NAME!
Only snowflakes do that.
What is This Person’s name?
Unidentified. It’s a satirical tweet. . Mocking the PV Board…
An interesting article on the subject. Apparently while on leave James spent time w/RFK Jr.
The Board seems to be a bunch of jerks and players that have made a living serving as volunteers on 501c3’s. And whenever adults use the term bully I find it childish. The whiners are listed by name.

The biggest vacuum on our tax dollars is health care money. 4 TRillion dollars for the poor, elderly, the women, and children, don’cha know.
The three biggest donor/lobbyist organizations in this country are BigHealthINsurance, BigHospital, and BigPharma. They have taken over all physicians groups. Physician labor is now contractual and ERs and Hospitals are staffed by contractual companies owned by the hospitals and insurance companies.
Pharmacy companies, Hospices, home health agencies, and now large palliative care companies now owned by Health Insurance companies
Very little of our health care dollar goes to health care any more.
Physicians, nurses, and scientists do not control health care dollars, quality, systems, or science anymore.
It was about the time PDJT started turning attention to costs of drugs (before Covid) that the doors of Wuhan were opened.
The RINOs and WEF are far more crafty, sinister, deadly, and controlling than any Dem or communist will every be.
WEF, Globalists, RINOS hide behind Dems and Communists, fooling us into thinking we can see our enemy clearly — when our enemy is standing beside us with their arm around our shoulder. Comforting us while they connive to kill us.
It was when O’Keefe dared point his process toward Pfizer that Evil shrieked. PV was OK as long as it was pointed toward Dems and Communists.
Big mistake. He was the brains and the force behind their work. Without him, they are nothing. Project Veritas is now dead to me and will get no more donations. I look forward to his next effort and will support that.
BUT… They have the NAME now, and they will run it into the ground, spreading as much misinformation they can until it becomes as tainted as the Lincoln Project.
I think people will say “Project Veritas? Yeah, they used to do good work back when O’Keefe was with them” and then they’ll back his new effort, without knowing all the details in-between.
I stand with James O’Keefe.
This move was made to KILL project veritas… not move on. Go ahead and unfollow them… “I did as well” … But they don’t care… PV will become the Lincoln Project 2.0 in 3…2…1
Well, I will donate to his next project.
But in the short term, the Woke Left has won a battle.
His mentor is dead, think about that. Murdered for a threat to “expose” Obama for his real intentions and his ineligibility to be president.
When he said he “glimpsed at heaven and hell at times”, they flinched. As long as people stay away from their true identities. God can deal with all this if we give him the reins.
Wonder who among the ones left will have the courage to go out and confront those that they recorded, like he did. Didn’t bother him to get in the face of the evil person or people they reported on. He had the guts to get it done.
If someone arises to the challenge then they will have a chance of surviving, if not then its dead in the water.
Seems the really tragic thing would have been if somehow O’Keefe were to have sold/been bought out. Seeing he is still james O’Keefe, he’ll go on to the next thing, and PV will slowly die. It’s all right. He’ll have important roles to play from now on, anyway.
Illegitimus non-tatum carborundum!
“Dont let the (place derrogatory term for illegitimate here)s wear you down!”
Churches made that mistake years ago—with to rush to 501c3—ministers used to speak candidly about politics—not anymore. With the shekels come the shackles.
He was just too darn effective! Good riddance to the backstabbers & traitors. Can’t wait for his next project exposing these creeps.
Reinvent the wheel, James O’Keefe. We are all watching and waiting for your next project!
Best wishes in these turbulent times.
