Project Veritas Staff Calls for James O’Keefe to Come Back and for Donors to Stop Leaving in Droves
Liberty Daily ^ | 2/24/23 | J.D. Rucker

Posted on 02/24/2023 9:13:24 PM PST by CFW

Editorial Note: It has been my thesis that the ousting of James O’Keefe by the Project Veritas board was an act intended to destroy the organization itself, or to at least bring it to heel on orders from the globalist elite cabal, including Pfizer. I have no evidence of this other than piecing together what is publicly known. It’s just a gut feeling that I’m sure many people share. That’s why the video below put together by the Project Veritas staff is a nice sentiment but will ultimate not lead to a positive result within Project Veritas itself. Their best course of action would be to resign as a group and help O’Keefe build something new and better with a board that cannot be as easily corrupted.

The staff at Project Veritas released a video calling for their founder and former CEO James O’Keefe to return to his post after being ousted by the board of directors. Watch:

Video at link. It's worth the less than three minutes to watch.

After dropping to a trickle yesterday, the pace of those un-following PV has picked up a bit today. Yesterday, 3,969, un-followed, while today it was up to 6,293. It doesn't sound like much but if you add up the number of people who have abandoned Project Veritas since O'Keefe's ouster, it is about 400,00 followers and possibly contributors to their "mission". If the PV have abandoned their founder and original mission (after the Pfizer reveal, coincidentally), then it is more than just the Twitter followers who make the 10 and 20 dollars donations who will abandon them. Those that financially support them with large donations will leave as well. I've already read stories of large donors stating they will contribute no longer. I hope O'Keefe takes the loyal staff members and begins anew with less baggage than the PV Board provides.

About a month before all of this became public I donated $20. That leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I’m just glad it wasn’t more.

There is not one chance in a million that this did not all happen because of the Pfizer exposure. I think that even among those who fully believe in the Deep state, very few fully comprehend just how pervasive it is. It has metastasized into every organ of our society.

I agree. I actually thought about sending O’Keefe a few bucks after watching the Pfizer video. I thought, “here is a young man who needs the support of conservatives so he can expose the left and the pharmaceutical companies for what they are”. I then made a note on my pad to do so,but never actually got around to it. I probably would have when the time came to pay monthly expenses, etc. But, then the PV board was exposed, and I no longer trust them to be good stewards of any funds I might donate.

Most people are very trusting. However, once you lose trust, it’s a hard row to hoe to get it back. You have to prove yourself trustworthy time and time again before anyone will believe you are legit. Conservatives have been burned too many times. It takes twice as long to get our trust returned. In the case of the media, that time extends to forever.

Well said and I fully agree. This cancel culture is a cancer on our society. It's not new either. It has been around forever. It's done differently at times and then, like this time, people with more money than sense get their vagina all sore and red like a baboon's butt on a hot summer day in the Amazon Rain Forest.

Being a firm believer in karma, although it frequently doesn't happen fast enough, I believe these baboon butt's will get a big dose of reality in some way. I just wish it was documented and televised.

Without O’Keefe there is no Project Veritas.

1) The CFO’s timing of complaints against O’Keefe is hugely suspect

2) Several of the CFO’s complaints are strange; O’Keefe has spent large amounts of money raising HUGE amounts of money and has created large, continually growing surpluses for ProjectVeritas very apparently by having PV succeed fantastically in its mission.

3) Whatever legitimate objections O’Keefe may have to the complains of the CFO, his firing of the CFO is a huge, screaming no-no. That’s just not how you do things.

4) The Board of Directors horribly (deliberately?) botched responding to O’Keefe’s illegal firing of the CFO.

5) At a time when the Board should’ve been fantastically careful about dotting every i and crossing every t, they were instead at best sloppy and at worst downright deceitful and in cover-up mode by the time O’Keefe responded to their actions publicly.

6) The Board should resign. Their continued presence is a grave harm to the credibility of PV. A board such as this is a volunteer position. Rather than get paid, such a board is usually composed of massive donors. If they actually care for the organization, they should be replaced, preferably by the oldest major willing and trusted donors. Even if they were perfectly in the right for their actions, why NOT resign?

7) The new board should negotiate for the return of James O’Keefe and the removal of the CFO.

Whatever happened...was laid down long before this Pfizer episode occurred. Certain board members were added who should have been vetted more by O’Keefe. It would appear that the corrupted board members then helped to bring in several technicians who were also corrupted. Whoever was influencing the corrupted board members....had them convinced that O’Keefe could be pushed out (fired) and things would just simply continue.

Presently, I think the board is counting funds...to realize a 50-percent drop in donations is virtually guaranteed (probably to be felt within a few days). They can cut some positions, but I seriously doubt they can survive more than the remainder of the year before they cease the operation.

For O’Keefe to go back? I think the whole board has to resign. O’Keefe needs to better vet incoming folks.

Board is freaked.

Many of them will be gone if he comes back.

All the staff need to leave and, with O’Keefe, form Project Veracity. Anyone still giving $$$ to Veritas is probably funneling $$$ to the Board. History will show O’Keefe to be one of the lone investigative journalists during a massive dearth of journalism in general. All of the Drive-By Media stenographers will only be remembered as a collective pile of...well....you know, that smelly shhhhtuff.

There is a slickness in the words of the board, and how they seamlessly go from one to the next and on. It seemed like a political add production. Meh.

So, the staff and official twitter account of Project Veritas “stand with James.” Does that mean that they endorse his request for the board to step down? No? Well, I guess they side with the board then.

Muahahaha

serves them right.

Hopefully James has a trusted ally still inside who can let him know who was loyal and who wasn’t.

then start a new company, inviting the loyal members and bringing the donors into the new company.

just delicious.

As long as the board is in place, Project Veritas is dead to me.

This is why they shouldn’t be a non-profit. Undoubtedly their donors got spooked after the Pfizer reveal and threatened to pull out. A line had been crossed.

It’s always the money and with something like PV it boils down to the big donors having the power.

“There is not one chance in a million that this did not all happen because of the Pfizer exposure.”

No doubt.

And if anyone thinks that big pharma isn’t in charge of this country, they’re not paying attention. They own some (maybe most) pols.

I requested my TN Congressman in DC to look in to why Pfizer pushed out the release of a generic Eliquis to 2026. A generic has existed for years and was supposed to have been released this month.

He said he didn’t have authority because Pfizer is private industry. The very same week he was pretty mouthy about the DirecTV/Newsmax issue, also private industry, and signed a letter to AT&T about it.

We’re suspicious that he might be the recipient of some funny money from Pfizer.

And it stinks that the board contacted JOK by phone to give him the news when they knew he would be boarding a plane — literally — and would be unable to discuss it. The stewardess practically had to force him to turn off his phone for takeoff

These are some nasty unprofessional people.
