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.
bkmk
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.
Please come back we have a new office for you in the sub basement and a roll of duct tape as our gift to you for returning
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.
PV is dead. Move along.
Looks like the rogue board and its goons is trying to trick the donors into continuing to fund them?
I hope I’m wrong, but I suspect that the real reason for this has little to do with James, and EVERYTHING to do with all of the protected sources that James is/was in possession of. I really hope that information is secure considering who is running PV now.
You see, for every “public” whistleblower, there’s probably 100 that are NOT public... and those are the ones who are quaking in their boots about right now, wondering if someone is going to expose them for their betrayals.
All we need to do is simply ask what North Korea or China does to their whistleblowers. Then we might understand the real reason the PV board did this, knowing it would destroy the company.
Yeah... James might start over, but will the DS behind PV get the last word? I fear that the ultimate goal behind this is not just to stop Okeefe, but to make sure he nor anyone else ever succeeds with a journalist venture like this again.
If they can do this with PV, they can do it with anyone.
Until and unless the staff follows through, they have no leverage and will fail.
I'm sure the bribed/blackmailed Board were sufficiently paid to hold their ground.
Pfizer and their paid coconspirators in gov't have hundreds of $$Billions on the line, so there is no room for negotiation.
Time for all the rebellious board members to quietly tender their resignations and go find honest work somewhere else like say, Jiffy Lube.
