Corporate Insurrection Ejects James O'Keefe from Project Veritas
Coup by Board Removes James O'Keefe as CEO
Today James O’Keefe left Project Veritas (“PV”). Before doing so, he returned to his office and recorded this video with many PV employees in attendance. As he summarized the events leading to his removal, he pointed-out that the chain of events began just three days after PV released this video twenty-five days ago exposing a Pfizer director bragging about secretly mutating the Covid-19 virus for profit. When confronted by O’Keefe, the Pfizer director, Jordan Trishton Walker, got violent, confined PV staff in a pizza restaurant, and destroyed PV’s property.
This was the biggest story in PV’s history (50 million views), yet instead of rewarding O’Keefe, the Board initiated the ouster. On Thursday, February 2nd, while he sat on the tarmack with the plane’s doors closing, O’Keefe received an email from a PV officer threatening to call an emergency Board meeting, where he would vote to remove him. The agenda indicated that the meeting would occur just as O’Keefe was landing in Nashville. Clearly, there was no way he would be able to attend the meeting, so he was able to persuade him to postpone it until the following Monday, February 6th.
The next day, Friday, February 4th, another Board member messaged one of PV’s journalists and extended a bribe to give the journalist a raise if O’Keefe was removed. Ostensibly, the underlying message of the bribe might have been taken this way: “Use your influence to build support (perhaps by contriving a dirty story?) for this coup”.
On Sunday, February 5th, another Board member told James that James had “nothing to do with the Pfizer video”, even though the video shows James confronting the Pfizer executive after his confession to the PV journalist. More false accusations and unusual behaviors insued in the following days, including a PV officer recommending to the Board on February 13th that meetings be conducted over Zoom, rather than in-person, to please the IRS. Is it the mission of Project Veritas to please the IRS? Was he recommending Zoom meetings so that they could be monitored by the IRS, FBI, the White House, and other corrupted organizations?
The culmination of all the subterfuge was the Board issuing a corporate resolution stripping O’Keefe of all responsibilities for six months and putting him on unpaid leave for two weeks (until February 20th), with no access to donors. Apparently, the Board kept this information from the employees and the public. On February 16th, O’Keefe wrote to the Board and proposed that all members resign by the end of last week and that he return today, Monday, February 20th, as CEO. Apparently no Board members approved his proposal or resigned.
As with his undercover work, O’Keefe does a good job of detailing the events of this betrayal in the video below, leading us to conclude that this mutiny will destroy Project Veritas. We pray that the Board members will be replaced by actions of the donors and that O’Keefe will be restored. Whether or not that happens, O’Keefe pledges to continue the fight against corruption with or without his great team of undercover journalists.
