As RedState reported earlier, James O’Keefe has departed from Project Veritas after what he said is a vote among the board to oust him as CEO.

It was clear that this separation wasn’t amicable, and by the video posted of him reading his resignation letter, O’Keefe isn’t done, he’s just done doing it under the Project Veritas banner.

According to O’Keefe, this plan to get rid of him featured board members attempting to find any reason they could to push O’Keefe out, including going to Project Veritas employees to collect grievances about him. O’Keefe presented a text message conversation between a board member and a PV journalist, where the journalist was offered a raise if Project Veritas was restructured without O’Keefe at the top.
The timing of this ousting is not a good look seeing as how Project Veritas had just dropped its biggest sting of all time. It had gotten a Pfizer executive to admit that the company was altering the Coronavirus in order to sell more vaccines, something Pfizer got incredibly rich off of during the pandemic.
The board’s actions are incredibly odd and very sudden, at least in the mind of the public. In fact, it’s the public the board now has to worry about.
What’s been going on behind Project Veritas’s walls is unclear. The private conversations that were had between board members and external players are still a mystery and may remain one for some time. However, the board’s swiftness in expelling O’Keefe, mixed with the timing, plus the reading of this resignation letter that throws the board’s motives into an unsavory light, has effectively buried Project Veritas going forward.
For one, O’Keefe and Project Veritas are pretty synonymous. When he arrived on the scene with Andrew Breitbart himself being his loudest proponent, O’Keefe has always been the frontman of every story Project Veritas released. While it’s been some time since I worked for Project Veritas myself, O’Keefe was in constant contact during the sting Lawrence Jones and I performed on then-Enroll America Director Chris Tarango. I imagine that with the Pfizer sting being so high-profile, O’Keefe was just as tuned in.
With O’Keefe’s name associated with undercover stings, his departure from Project Veritas will be viewed by the public as the frontman leaving the band. While the band might still be around, interest in it will decrease dramatically.
Secondly, the nature of O’Keefe’s departure is going to sour the public view of Project Veritas. O’Keefe is largely a beloved figure by the right-leaning public and his treatment at the hands of the board will instinctively cause O’Keefe’s fans to sour against the brand. They will view the board, now in full control, as villains.
The bottom line is that O’Keefe had the lion’s share of trust from the public, and with his ousting that trust will go with him. The shady method by which the board ousted this conservative hero simply makes it look untrustworthy. It really doesn’t help matters that this move came after the Pfizer sting, which is going to cause some intense speculation in and of itself.
Put all this together and it’s safe to assume that Project Veritas is dead. Unless the board can come up with a response that not only fills in a lot of the gaps and puts forward information that makes O’Keefe’s words look like the raving of a grifter, there’s hardly any way that the company recovers.
Moreover, the moment O’Keefe returns with his new venture is the moment people will forget about Project Veritas. He’ll not only have people willing to participate in his stings, but he’ll have investors lining up to help him based on his name alone.
It’s highly likely that Project Veritas is, for all intents and purposes, a dead organization walking. Its recovery is highly unlikely at this juncture.
Yup
I look forwzrd to James’ future new successful news org.
I spit on Veritas’grave.
Veritas is Latin for truth
Pravda is Russian for truth
so - Deep State wins this round?
"You know, I brought you in this world, and I can take you out. And it don't make no difference to me, I'll make another one look just like you."
He is re-branding! Starting OVER!... that’s all I needed to hear.
I originally thought this was some kind of ruse... apparently not.
The insane stupidity of the board is what stuns me the most.
They must have got a LOT of money from Phizer for doing this.
> so - Deep State wins this round?
Yes, they do.
They will continue to win, too, without Divine intervention.
But I don’t think we’ll get to see that until The End.
Really grinds me that I donated $20 two weeks before this started. Would have been better spent on bourbon. Of course that could be said of most things.......
I agree.
Like for keeps chess game, O’Keefe’s enemies will not stop here.
My guess is that there will be a huge lawsuit against O’Keefe and this act is to separate him from the company and the company’s money.
In other words, they plan to break him financially so that he will not be able to investigate them again nor to publicize information he has gained in the past.
did the board of project veritas just fire babe ruth for not showing up at batting practice?
Pfizer?
While Pfizer, Soros, or the Biden Gang were likely the ones influencing the Board to dump O’Keefe - don’t discount the likelihood that the Gay Mafia got him: they’re wealthy, powerful, and everywhere.
O’Keefe’s video showing the whole world a classic gay meltdown would certainly have put him in their crosshairs. Any homos on the Veritas Board?
That is One.Fat.Lady!
His finest work to date.
Name another person in the world capable of doing that.
It would be a lot of work for O’Keefe to build a new organization. That might be part of the Board’s strategy?
