Conservative activist James O’Keefe has now promised to release footage from mainstream media newsrooms “in the next 48 hours.”
On Sean Hannity’s radio show, O’Keefe said he has obtained “hundreds of hours of tape from within the establishment media,” adding that people from inside newsrooms have come to him with footage to release “WikiLeaks style,” through his Project Veritas YouTube channel.
O’Keefe revealed he might have footage on “the one [Trump is] always targeting,” presumably meaning CNN.
The Project Veritas Twitter account also tweeted an article that indicated O’Keefe’s next target is CNN, saying they “may be on to something”:
O’Keefe has talked about this before, indicting last month that his next target would be the media.
Project Veritas has recently had a number of successful stings, having exposed a plot by leftists in DC to put stink bombs at the “Deploraball” inauguration event last month, exposing alleged voter fraud in New York City, and exposing the Clinton campaign’s connections to people who incite violence at Trump rallies.
Wikileaks style? Not possible, CNN already told us that only they have the authority to review and report on wikileaks material. I’m sure that applies to this as well.
Anyone hear anything remarkable about Vault 7, besides the SpyOnFranceLikeHell bit..?
OK that’s one tease. That’s enough James.
Cough it up or risk putting your credibility down the Anonymous toilet.
OK Twitter says “tomorrow”. PV - do not disapoint!
O’Keefe Telephone Repair Shenanigans:
Originally they were trying to get him and his colleagues TEN YEARS IN PRISON FOR A FELONY..!
They were so pissed they were also bandying around “terrorism” verbiage:

(short version - He and some buds dressed up as telphone repairmen and visited the office of someone in Congress, they were trying to get some overhear in the room audio involving corruption)
Without a doubt.

A conversation with CNN VP Richard Griffiths and Dean Susan King
Richard Griffiths, VP and senior editorial director at CNN, spoke with UNC School of Journalism and Mass Communication Dean Susan King in the Carolina News Studio on March 18, 2014. Griffiths was at the school to talk with students in classes — something he’s been doing for near a decade.

Dataminr, a New York-based startup that Fortune profiled in a recent magazine feature, is one of few companies authorized to analyze the entire Twitter “firehose,” identifying important events and patterns as they unfold and often acting as an early warning system for natural disasters, terrorist attacks and other anomalies. As Twitter’s only data partner that is also allowed to resell the complete stream of tweets, Dataminr sells its service to hedge funds, news outlets, large corporations and government bodies—including, until recently, the CIA.
The Wall Street Journal reported last month that Twitter abruptly revoked the CIA’s access to Dataminr out of apparent concern that its reputation would suffer if it was perceived to be too cozy with the spy agency. But critics quickly accused Twitter of being hypocritical in its decision after Russian state-owned news outlet RT said it still had Dataminr access. “Agents of Russia’s Federal Security Service, formerly known as the KGB, have full access via RT to the alerts now being denied to the CIA,” a Journal op/ed columnist wrote.

Announcing Dataminr for News in partnership with Twitter & CNN
January 29, 2014
Today, I am thrilled to announce our upcoming launch of Dataminr for News, a new product developed in close partnership with Twitter and CNN. Dataminr for News will provide newsrooms around the world with a powerful new technology to rapidly discover emerging information on Twitter.
With more than 500 million Tweets sent per day, identifying critical information when it first emerges on Twitter is a tremendous challenge. Dataminr’s unique technology solves this challenge by algorithmically discovering, qualifying, categorizing and alerting clients to key information in real-time.
Powered by the same proprietary pattern-recognition algorithms behind Dataminr’s highly successful Finance and Public Sector products, Dataminr for News delivers a customizable set of alerts directly into the user’s existing work-flow. This creates a seamless, real-time bridge between the front edge of Twitter and decision-makers in the newsroom.
We’ve worked closely with CNN to develop Dataminr for News. They’ve been an ideal partner given their best-in-class newsgathering operation, global focus, and strong commitment to innovation. By integrating our alpha product into their daily workflow, reporters at CNN were able to offer invaluable feedback about the product and its algorithms.

LEAKED EMAILS REVEAL HOW DATAMINR WAS PITCHED TO FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS
by Andrew Perez and Frank Bass Jan 19, 2017, 9:01am EST
In March 2015, Philippe Reines, a former aide to Hillary Clinton at the US State Department, reached out to an old colleague about his consulting firm’s client.
Reines contacted Capricia Marshall, a consultant who had been the US chief of protocol, a top State Department officer who acts as a liaison with foreign diplomats. Reines wanted Marshall to arrange meetings with foreign embassies for Dataminr — a company that has come under scrutiny from privacy experts for its service analyzing Twitter data.
“If you could pull this off, would be a great way to get you a solid ongoing retainer,” Reines wrote in an email. Marshall responded: “Talking to Azerbaijan. May then ask Saudi?”
“Azerbaijan would be AWESOME. I think Saudi is in its own category because they aren’t sure what the Saudis would do with it,” Reines wrote back. Referring to Azerbaijan, a former Soviet republic accused of jailing journalists and online activists, Reines suggested using its territorial dispute with Armenia as leverage: “Pull out all the stops! Tell them if they don’t we’ll sell to the Armenians!”
Reines’ firm, Beacon Global Strategies, met with diplomats from Azerbaijan’s embassy, and quickly hired Marshall. A MapLight review of leaked emails found that Marshall arranged conversations between Dataminr and at least five embassies over three months.
The leaked emails shed light on the largely unregulated world of international lobbying in Washington, where “strategic advisors,” “consultants,” and lawyers use their US government experience to benefit clients and themselves, while avoiding public scrutiny both at home and overseas.
Beacon isn’t registered to lobby in Washington. The firm reportedly works for defense contractors and cybersecurity companies, but it hasn’t made its client list public, citing non-disclosure agreements. Beacon’s relationship with Dataminr has not been previously reported.
Emails show that Beacon offered Dataminr’s service to a foreign government in ways that suggest it could have been used for surveillance. A spokesperson for Dataminr told MapLight on Tuesday that the company “decided not to build or deploy the product capabilities” described by Beacon.

Not sure this is James’ angle, but it should be one.
Smells like collusion.

I still see Griffith on both his own twitter page and on the O’Keefe tweet w/pic.
Just tried to donate.
Will not let me.

“Your connection is not private” blah, blah.

Did you see this, Jim?
Any solutions?
If he can only release on Hannity, the only people that are going to see it are the ones that already know this crap goes on.
Why warn them? Gives them a chance to gin up a big story to try to drown out the O’Keefe release.
He did not actually give his name as Eric Holder. I recall that he asked if they had a ballot for Eric Holder.
This has been a problem for awhile mostly with google Chrome. We have a valid industry standard SHA-1 security certificate that’s been in place and working perfectly for many years. Google has decided to go for more encryption bits with SHA-2 and they are deprecating the use of SHA-1 in chrome, though it’s still perfectly valid.
So, even though the transactions are validly encrypted by our secure server as they have been for years, google chrome is throwing up a roadblock to our donors. In the past, it was just a cautionary warning, but now they’re actually blocking access. Our users can override the browser block, by clicking “ADVANCED” (at the bottom of the warning message) and then “Proceed to secure.freerepublic.com” and the transaction will be handled fine as always. The secure server does the encryption work, not google chrome.
Or, if the donor has another browser available, Edge for example, go ahead and use that to make the donation. Until recently google chrome was the only browser doing this. But yesterday I learned that firefox now has the same issue.
John will be incorporating the new SHA-2 standard eventually, but he says it’s gonna be a tough job and will require some software rewriting due to an incompatibility with some of our underlying systems software. It’s a job he’s not looking forward to it.
I KNEW there was a reason I don’t use Chrome!
Thank you.
Here’s a google post about its SHA-1 deprecation plan: https://security.googleblog.com/2016/11/sha-1-certificates-in-chrome.html
Again, thanks.
Actually, this information deserves a thread of its own.
This could be awesome! O’Keefe has delivered many times, and I hope this is another case of him changing America for the better by shining a light in the dark corners where the Ctrl-Left plots against freedom.
