"Undercover: Chicago Democratic Election Judges Pretend to be Republican Judges"

Published on Dec 22, 2016

In this Project Veritas Action video, an undercover journalist exposes how election judges in Chicago were violating election regulations regarding the equal representation of judges in the Republican and Democratic parties. There is supposed to be an equal number of Republican and Democratic judges on election day to ensure equal representation.

"Legal Victory: Case Filed by TSA Agent Against Project Veritas Dismissed"

Published on Dec 7, 2016

A lawsuit that was filed against Project Veritas by a TSA agent caught on camera has been dismissed.

On May 20, 2015, James O’Keefe was driving on the East side of New York with some colleagues and witnessed Augustin Maldonado, a TSA agent drinking what appeared to him to be alcohol behind the wheel.

Maldonado sued for intentional infliction of emotional distress and defamation. However, the court disagreed with him and called our video a “mini-drama” and said Mr. Maldonado is an example of the ambush-style journalism made popular by Sixty Minutes and Candid Camera.

The court dismissed all claims made by Maldonado, including for emotional distress and defamation, and found the video we prepared to be protected by the First Amendment as Constitutionally-protected speech.

Mark Smith of Smith Valliere PLLC represented Project Veritas in this case.

“We are pleased that the New York Supreme Court upheld the First Amendment and dismissed this lawsuit,” Project Veritas’s lead attorney Mark W. Smith said.   Smith of the New York City law firm Smith Valliere PLLC continued, “The First Amendment exists to allow people like James O’Keefe and his Project Veritas team to continue their efforts to report on issues of public concern.”

“Bernie Sanders’s Deputy Campaign Manager Threatens O’Keefe With Lawsuit”

Published on Nov 30, 2016

In this video, James O’Keefe discusses a letter he received from a lawyer who is representing Richard Pelletier, Bernie Sanders’ failed National Field Director, who is threatening to sue Project Veritas. Pelletier is claiming that O'Keefe illegally recorded a phone conversation with Pelletier back in February of this year. The call was part of an investigation Project Veritas Action did that produced compelling evidence that the Sanders Campaign was clearly violating federal campaign election laws by using Australians who were paid by the Australian Labor Party. The story didn’t get much play in the mainstream U.S. media, but in Australia it was front-page news. A New Hampshire State Representative filed a formal complaint with the Federal Election Commission citing the PVA story. PVA is still waiting to hear from the FEC.

NJO: Title, video and blurb from James O'Keefe's YouTube channel Project Veritas Action.

Now, you might be looking at this particular grievance of James' --- I don't mean the possible lawsuit thing, I mean the griping about Election 2016 and Australians interfering in it and oh how could you, cruel mainstream media --- and you might be thinking, "Oh but come on, this looks positively benign compared to other matters like, you know, the opposing campaign to elect as President of the United States a mentally unbalanced man who is also an actual racist, with all the attendant danger that such a situation would pose to the world at large and all the people in it, a demographic that actually includes both Americans AND Australians", and, ye-e-es, I'm not disagreeing with you, but that's you not thinking like a James O'Keefe there. To understand where he's coming from, you've got to put yourself in his shoes and think about this stuff like you're some kind of mad right-wing Catholic culture warrior with a huge chip on your shoulder against all things Not On Your Side, which would include the MainStream Media and the Democratic Party, who are The Devil and must be thwarted. That's maybe kind of an obvious thing to point out, but I actually dunno! Sometimes it seems like there's a fair few people who write and blog and such who don't quite grasp that people like O'Keefe, y'know, really fucking hate them and the things they stand for.


Anyway, to my next point.

That's a screencap from James' 2008 video "Non-Gay Men with Girlfriends get Married to Each Other." That's him giving the thumbs-up to the camera as he walks out of a Massachusetts County Clerk office holding a certificate for a sham marriage between himself and his compadre Ben Wetmore. And that's the quote he chooses to close out the video with, a line by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, an argument against stringent legalistic thinking.

What a difference eight years makes.

I'm being coy, of course. I don't really think James O'Keefe, religious fanatic and charlatan who postures as it suits him at any given time, is really the type to have changed in his thinking between then and now. I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy.

I mean, I could also point to that article he wrote as a student about his visit to the 2006 World Economic Forum in Davos, wherein he presents himself as someone who gives a shit about the state of the world and the future. Look at him now, a full-fledged Trump supporter. Compare and contrast. Same deal.

"John Fund References James O'Keefe's Videos as Evidence of Voter Fraud"

Published on Nov 29, 2016

On November 28, 2016, political commentator John Fund credited James O'Keefe and Project Veritas Action with uncovering evidence of voter fraud on Fox News.

NJO: Title, video and blurb from James O'Keefe's YouTube channel Project Veritas Action.

I'm going to try from now on to put more annotation to posts than just the attribution and labels.

So, here we have the "political commentator" John Fund talking to Tucker Carlson on Fox News. Like Trump spokeswoman Kellyanne Conway and many other religious right politicos, he is or at various points has been a member of the secretive Dominionist meetup club The Council for National Policy. 

Fund is frequently one of the first people to promote James' videos after they've dropped, through Twitter and by posting articles about them on conservative websites, especially if said videos have a "voter fraud" angle. Indeed, Fund's tweeting about a new video is often timed so closely to James uploading said video and tweeting about it himself that one would almost suspect they have an arrangement going on. Daily Mail US Political Editor David Martosko is another who regularly does this.

Here's an archived article from 2001 about John Fund being a creep. Below is the recorded phone conversation that accompanied the article. It's John Fund talking to the possibly unbalanced younger woman he got pregnant, being all who-said-what-and-when about what-the-fuck-ever and (briefly) mansplaining his position on abortion. Here's the transcript. Credit goes to John Connolly on the defunct website weaselsearch.com.

Choice quote from the transcript:

"I never told you I was a strict right-to-lifer. I have respect for life and I also make judgment calls and I also have variations on that theme."

Prediction: James O'Keefe becomes part of Trump's inner circle

NJO: Right now, Trump seems to like conspiracy nut Alex Jones as his Champion of True Journalism guy. It seems likely that Alex Jones will cruise into a highly-placed position in the Trump administration, like an Information Minister or something like that. But sooner or later, Trump's people are going to want someone who can present themselves with a more slick and credible veneer than that which Jones is capable of mustering, a counterbalancing "Thinking Person's Journalist" for when the obviously crazy guy is being too obviously crazy. As a Catholic religious fanatic, James O'Keefe has been very consistently loyal to the Republican Party (His stings against Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner and State Sen. Mike Ellis, while aberrations at first glance, were about getting rid of liabilities who weren't toeing the Tea Party line), and during the 2016 election season he has shown himself to be very consistently loyal to Donald Trump.

Hope I'm wrong!

"Everyone Moving To Canada Post Election: #CheckYourPrivilege"

Published on Nov 14, 2016

In this video, Project Veritas Action Journalists encountered the Assistant Director of Leadership and Civic Engagement at Columbia University. She told the PVA journalist that saying "I am moving to Canada if Trump wins" is a privileged statement. Following statements from many members of the Hollywood elite who said they would also move to Canada if Trump won, PVA felt it was necessary to suggest they check their privilege.

"James O’Keefe: Main Stream Media Is Now Powerless"

Published on Nov 9, 2016

As a direct result of this political cycle, James O’Keefe reflects on the power shift the United States has just experienced with regard to the role and efficacy of the legacy media.

In the video, he thanks his supporters and everyone who contributed to the success of the groundbreaking videos released by Veritas throughout this election cycle.

O’Keefe explains how this election has left the mainstream media powerless and promises to continue exposing corruption and fraud through citizen journalism.

“The next time you try to take advantage of honest Americans, think twice, because the person sitting in front of you may have a camera or a microphone. If you are cheating stealing or scamming, you may be the next unwilling star of the internet,” said Veritas founder and president James O’Keefe. #Veritas

There's a passage from The Lord of the Rings that's just now popped into my head for some reason:

A heavy silence fell in the room. Frodo could hear his heart beating. Even outside everything seemed still. No sound of Sam’s shears could now be heard. 

‘Yes, to Mordor,’ said Gandalf. ‘Alas! Mordor draws all wicked things, and the Dark Power was bending all its will to gather them there. The Ring of the Enemy would leave its mark, too, leave him open to the summons. And all folk were whispering then of the new Shadow in the South, and its hatred of the West. There were his fine new friends, who would help him in his revenge!’
