New video released Thursday afternoon indicates National Public Radio intended to accept a $5 million donation from fictitious Muslim Brotherhood front group Muslim Education Action Center (MEAC) Trust – and that the publicly funded radio network might have helped MEAC make the donation anonymously to protect it from a federal government audit.
When a man posing as Ibrahim Kasaam asked, “It sounded like you were saying NPR would be able to shield us from a government audit, is that correct?” NPR’s senior director of institutional giving, Betsy Liley, responded, “I think that is the case, especially if you are anonymous. I can inquire about that.” According to conservative James O’Keefe, whose Project Veritas organization conducted the NPR sting organization, the man posing as Kasaam made two follow-up phone calls to Liley after their lunch.
Liley said a $5 million donation would amount to about “10 years of support.”
Kasaam follows up by asking: “The fact that NPR is not only a tax-exempt organization, but also receives direct contributions from the government — does that invite some sort of government oversight or government examination of contributions, et cetera?”
Liley answered: “They have audited our programs at times and, I think, as part of that, they can look at our audited financials. If you are concerned in any way about that, that’s one reason you might want to be an anonymous donor. And, we would certainly, if that was your interest, want to shield you from that.”
Liley mentioned a precedent at NPR — in more than $80 million in donations from universities

Wow. What scum.
This is better than I expected. Will it makes the evening news? Don’t count on it.
“As long as there is 24/7 sports coverage of any kind, beer, and reality TV, don’t expect too much from the sheeple.”
Why is it, no matter how explosive the story, no matter how huge the victory, no matter how huge the win...
There is always some hand-wringing, whining defeatist blubbering about how “we can’t win!”
I can just imagine you at Valley Forge.
Wowy zowy!
Is anyone going to get thrown in the slammer.

GO O’KEEFE! TAKE THESE TRAITORS DOWN.
Betsy needs an immediate Plan B.
Post it on Facebook. Email link to everyone you know.
Spread the word at the grassroots level!
We can’t sit around griping about the MSM. It is a waste of time. It does nothing.

I believe that $80M was a series of anonymous gifts from one source given to the colleges with female presidents, and the NPRite was relating her experience from having worked for one of the recipient colleges. That’s how I understood it, anyway.
I worked in the non-profit world for a few years and these people make me ill. they did back then too.
These fargin elitist snobs will take the coins out of a dead person’s eyes, just to pad their own pockets. Dangling 5mil under their noses will make all of them wet their pants hoping they can seal the deal and get a write-up in the Chronicle of Philanthropy to hang on their walls. They would say anything to get their paws on that loot.
O’Keefe deserves our financial support! But how does on safely donate?
I quit listening decades ago when their promotion of lesbianism and homosexuality was so glowingly positive it made me vomit. This was meant for young adults and teenagers. The homosexual lobby has bought and paid for NPR decades ago—the homosexuals own NPR... All the filth they put into the minds of young adults to pervert their thinking is disgusting—and their “New Age Religion” promotion and hugging and kissing trees is sickening.
No logic, reason and true science allowed on NPR....it is all Marxist propaganda
I’d be one of the one that did show up since those things don’t mean anything to me. I am just pointing out that the bulk of the sheep are numb.
I am glad that revelations about these people are finally coming to light and maybe some of the numbing might be winding down. I want more revelations about the liberal cancer all the time.
I don't suppose this DOJ would be interested in investigating NPR, but Congressman Issa might wish to inquire.
SAW THIS VIDEO ON THE NEWS LAST NIGHT IN AUSTRALIA!
Senior Executives at NPR meet with Muslim Brotherhood Front Group to solicit $5mm and discuss their federal funding, Fanatical Christians, Zionists in the media, Tea Partiers, Republicans, Uneducated Americans and Juan Williams.
Featuring:
Ron Schiller, President NPR Foundation.
Betsy Liley, Senior Director, NPR Institutional Giving.
This recording certainly shoots holes in NPR’s immediate response. Betsy was counting the days before the check arrived as were Ron and Vivian. What a bunch of dingbats at NPR!!!!
“””NPR’s public statements issued in the wake of O’Keefe’s first video. “The fraudulent organization represented in this video repeatedly pressed us to accept a $5 million check, with no strings attached, which we repeatedly refused to accept,” NPR spokeswoman Dana Davis Rehm said in NPR’s official response.””””
James Okeefe’s site (I’m donating):
theprojectveritas.com
Let’s give him our financial support, and our encouraging emails!!!
GRAND SLAM with more videos to come!!!!
I could not find any response to the latest video in a casual perusal of the NPR home page at http://www.npr.org just now...
You have yesterday’s tape - this is the newest one:
“The audits of our governmental grants are conducted by the same firm we hire to do our NPR financial audit.”
Liley wrote that she’s “awaiting a draft of a gift agreement from our legal counsel and will share it when I have it.”
That e-mail directly contradicts NPR’s public statements issued in the wake of O’Keefe’s first video. “The fraudulent organization represented in this video repeatedly pressed us to accept a $5 million check, with no strings attached, which we repeatedly refused to accept,” NPR spokeswoman Dana Davis Rehm said in NPR’s official response.
The new video shows recently ousted NPR Chief Executive Vivian Schiller knew of her subordinates’ meeting with the Muslim Brotherhood front group. “Vivian knows about our meeting as my email indicated I think for her to feel – for us to prep her appropriately for the next meeting, it would be great to have some more information from you guys,” Liley said.
“80 million from universities??? Is that why tuition is going up so fast?”
I once worked at a large northeast university that hosted an NPR station. I suspect a LOT of that $80 million is “in kind”. The one I worked at provided a building, power, water, parking, payroll and personnel management.
Damfino who paid for the transmitter, but I wouldn’t be surprised...
do I really have to say it???
