Top Aide to Hillary Says Let the Refugees Come

Published on Nov 23, 2015

It's a lovefest between top Clinton aide Huma Abedin and the Syrian refugees in Greece we captured on undercover video hoping to get to Germany and US - possibly using fake passports. The Syrian refugees love Clinton and Clinton loves the refugees. So what could possibly go wrong with this scenario?

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

Something that I feel could stand to get pointed out a little more whenever James O'Keefe puts out a video like this one, a video which further affirms the moral midgetry and pants-pissing chickenshit cowardice of both James himself and the people who opt to work with him to make these hateful things, is this: James O'Keefe identifies as a Christian.

Quote Boat: Again with the war talk --- Think this guy might be a fanatic or something?

NJO: I haven't as yet posted a link to the James O'Keefe-connected Planned Parenthood sting video that appeared last week, so here's a timely reminder of James O'Keefe's thoughts on how to journalistically cover reproductive healthcare organizations like Planned Parenthood, and links to Little Green Footballs and Snopes, who have dealt with the story properly.

Update: Quote source.

Quote Boat: Bellicose Bullshittings of a Blinkered, Blathersome, Blancmange-Brained Braggart

Click to enlarge.

NJO: Trying out something different here. I started this off meaning to use just one or two brief quotes by James to get the point across, but I may have got a wee bit carried away. 

Updated 24/07/15: Here are links to the quote sources:

"You think you're all Peace?"

"The moral balance is still ours."

"The other full-time people at this college so far..."

"As my friend Dave pointed out to me..."

"Why do I hear so many excuses..."

"Running with the wind behind at 12 knots..."

"Since we replaced the compulsory military draft..."

"It's gotten so bad out there."

"Sitting in between Rep. Rangel and Sen. Menendez..." 

Update (21/07/15): I just realized that James' mention of "my friend Dave" (in the 2008 quotation on the right of the graphic) might well be in reference to David Daleiden, who is credited as the "leader" of the the Center for Medical Progress, the forced-birth group responsible for the latest Planned Parenthood sting videos, and who is reportedly a friend of James O'Keefe's.

James O'Keefe | For Action Interview with Chris Jeub

Published on Nov 25, 2013

For Action Conference: http://trainingminds.org/action

James O'Keefe is the Founder and President of Project Veritas, a non-profit organization dedicated to developing a national network of effective and courageous undercover citizen journalists. O'Keefe's groundbreaking investigations have exposed corruption and malfeasance in major taxpayer-funded institutions, including ACORN, Planned Parenthood, public education, labor unions, NPR, Medicaid, Organizing for America, State Election Divisions, Obamaphones, and many other organizations. And this crucial work continues.

O'Keefe's undercover investigations have generated media firestorms that frequently prompt state investigations, federal inquiries, and congressional action. Investigations into entitlements have led to worker retrainings, firings and criminal investigations by authorities. Recently, O'Keefe's voter fraud exposés inspired several states to reform their election laws, induced high-level resignations in Washington, and forcing FBI and Department of Justice officials to defend themselves before lawmakers.

Even the left-Nation wrote, "O'Keefe's influence on voting rights opponents and legislators alike is particularly jarring." Slate conceded, "O'Keefe has had more of an impact on the 2012 election than any other journalist." And O'Keefe succeeded despite constant threats of legal action from embarrassed State Attorney Generals and relentless defamation from major media.

In 2013, O'Keefe authored The New York Times bestselling book Breakthrough: Our Guerilla War to Expose Fraud and Save Democracy, which tells the true story of subverting a corrupt and complacent media establishment, surviving many gratuitous legal challenges, and restoring truth to journalism by successfully pioneering a new form of guerilla reporting.

O'Keefe is a graduate of Rutgers University. A congressional resolution was introduced in 2009 with 31 cosponsors praising him for his work. He is the recipient of the Robert Novak Award for Journalistic Excellence (2011), has been named "Fox News Power Player of the Week" twice by Chris Wallace, and was placed on the Forbes 30 under 30 for media moguls.

James O'Keefe is one of several speakers coming to Colorado Springs at Focus on the Family, January 2-4, 2014. Space is limited, so register today: http://trainingminds.org/action

Cynthia Jeub: How to Get Into Trouble

NJO: Source: Cynthia Jeub's blog.

“We don’t do the little things to avoid messes. We do the little things to get into messes.” –TED Talk

My last post left a few questions: what qualifies as doing something right? If you’re on the wrong side of the law, you’ve done something wrong, haven’t you? Isn’t this just a big excuse for self-righteous foolhardiness?

The real reasons people ask these questions are because the lines are getting blurred between the law and justice. As Bastiat said it, in the minds of the people, there is no difference between law and justice. They mean the same thing for most. So when a ten-year-old boy tries to offer life-saving water to a starving woman’s lips and is arrested and sentenced to a written apology and community service for his crime of trespassing on the premises of a hospice, things get confusing.

My dad recently announced that another young man with a similar charge and record will be speaking at our For Action conference in January. James O’Keefe gets plenty of attack every day from people who doubt his integrity in his attempts to expose corruption.

There are plenty of people who don’t know the real story, and hate James when they should support his efforts. A guy with a camera should be rallied behind, as this child and this young man proved when they happened to run into bad cops.

My point here isn’t to dispel myths. I tell the story as it happened and people wonder why it’s such a big deal. Some guys tried to do an undercover film shoot and got in big trouble for, well, standing there in odd costumes. Read James’ book and, stay with me here, I’m not asking you to believe it. I’m just asking that you read his story before believing what’s written in top YouTube comments and tweets.

Speech at 29th Annual G.K. Chesterton Conference

Transcript of James O'Keefe speech to the G.K. Chesterton society at Mount St. Mary's in Maryland

Project Veritas ^ | Aug. 13 2010 | James O'Keefe

Karl Marx said that philosophers have explained the world; it is our job to change it. I say Chesterton has explained what's wrong with the wrong; it is our job to restore it.

A specter is haunting the powerful and the corrupt, and that is the specter of the independent, free, renegade video journalist. That journalist seeks to correct the wrongs of the society we live in. There is a lot wrong with the society we live in. Chesterton says, [paraphrasing] "The position we now have reached is this. Starting from the state, we try to remedy the failures of all the families, all the nurseries, all the workshops, all the secondary institutions that once had some authority of their own. Everything is ultimately brought into the courts." It seems like the world has become one giant divorce court.

Ken Larrey email to Nadia Naffe, Subject: "Re: Proposal"

Subject:  RE: Proposal
Date:      August 12, 2010 10:04:18 PM EDT
To:         

Hannah could probably tell you a bit about it.  She's been in on some/most of the emails.  Our plan involves Trinity United (Obama's church) and Jeremiah Wright or Otis Moss.  If you live in Tampa, then you must have travelled considerably for the Maxine Waters thing, so perhaps you'd be up for Chicago after all.

Based on your work with Hannah and James, I imagine I can put trust in you.   We've tried to keep the plans for this fairly close to the vest, so please don't forward this email and keep all of this to yourself.  Basically, we'll be exploring the Marxist teachings of Liberation theology and the aforementioned pastors.  Liberation Theology was effectively devised as a way to work Marxism into Christianity as a vessel for Marxist revolution/transformation.

There are also some quasi-shady dealings that go on with the church, which we may be looking at as well.

What is your situation/hours and availability for travel?

Best,
Ken

Operation Maple Trinity planning document

Operation Maple Trinity

Abstract:
This is an operation intended to expose the Marxist, Anti-American nature of Trinity United in Chicago in a way that can ultimately capture it in a few short minutes of condensed video to leave no doubt.  It is equally intended to capture it in such an explosive way that the Lamestream Media is forced to cover it.

Main Targets:
Otis Moss
Jeremiah Wright (if accessible)
Other TUCC pastors

Main Characters:
Martin Smith (Ken Larrey) - A white, 27 year old graduate student set to enroll at UChicago Business School, grew up in Toronto, graduated from Duke, went to work for Morgan Stanley.  Father is a retired bank executive (Toronto-Dominion bank), who also managed hedge funds, now private investor.  Family was formerly tied with and still loosely tied with the Community Party of Canada (Marxist-Leninist), though they exert influence in the Liberal Party, even some in the Conservative Party.

Elijah Bernard (Shaughn Adeleye) - A black 36 year old consultant working for Bain & Company in Chicago (recently transferred from Dallas), graduated LSU, law degree Duke.  Married with one daughter, but gay (irrelevant to operation Maple Trinity). Also grew up in a Marxist family.

(optional)
1 or 2 pastors (Doug Giles perhaps, other black guy) - struggling liberation theologians around Toronto partially financed by Martin Smith's father.

Costumes/Props:
Ken:
suit, nice shoes, etc.
Flashy gold watch
Gold magnetic earring (Bill Ayers style)
Hidden camera

Shaughn:
Suit, nice shoes, etc.
Flashy Gold Watch
Hidden Camera

Other Requirements:
Lodging, parking, internet, perhaps a week or more
Travel (probably by car)
Possibly Fake Id's, Business Cards
Possibly cell phones with Chicago and/or Toronto area codes

Plot Summary:
              Elijah Bernard sets up a meeting with Otis Moss to discuss joining the church.  The brings along his friend, Martin Smith, with whom he crossed paths at Duke.  Elijah explains that he and Martin, like Moss, are both fellow travelers.  He has been telling Martin about the church and liberation theology and Martin took an interest so Elijah brought him along.
              Martin further explains who he is, that his family and their associates are committed to a Marxist transformation of Canada, we have seen the evils and oppression of capitalism, we seek to end the evils of globalization, and we are committed to putting a stop to the evil foreign wars and invasions of the Canadian/American empires.  Martin explains that he is considering attending a few sermons and establishing a relationship with the Church, jokes about how odd it will be being white.  Martin hands Moss a copy of To Set the Captives Free: Liberation Theology in Canada as a gift and explains that though he grew up being taught that religion is wrong, that it was a tool to pacify the masses to accept their lot, his father and other Marxists in Canada had come to understand the value of liberation theology.  Although Martin is not as directly involved in the movement, he is there representing his father and his father's interests.  They are interested in sending some of their own pastors who have been trying to learn and advance liberation theology in Canada to learn at Trinity United.

[The conversation will likely evolve from there.  Moss is likely to inquire about this proposal and the whole situation.  We aim to lead Otis Moss into a discussion about Marxism, Liberation Theology, Liberation Theology in Canada, the subversion of the church for Marxist purposes, etc.  The point is to make our intentions clear and explain them as what would seem to most people as a nefarious/cynical plot.  Here are some talking points to throw in.}

            Martin explains that the state of Canada is such that the conservatives are in power and the socialization of Canada has been stalled and is even in decline.  We believe a big part of the reason Marxism is failing in Canada is because we have failed to control the churches.  Liberation Theology gives us a way to use the gospel and the church to advance Marxism and Marxist principles.
            Martin also explains that even though Trinity United teaches Black Liberation Theology, his family's interest is in liberation theology, as the black population of Canada is 2.5%.  However, the black church is also uniquely of interest because in addition to organization black churches, we have this (particularly bold, edgy, creative) idea of taking note of the energy, emotion, and soul that has always been a part of the black church, and which we believe is so important to bringing diverse groups together and lifting their spirits, and adapting it to other churches even for wishes.  We believe nobody does this better than Trinity United.  Most importantly, we want to study how Trinity United manages all the little things that go into managing a church and bringing people into the Marxist movement.  Community outreach, recruiting, establishing ties with local government, etc.  It's one thing to read about using liberation theology to foment Marxist revolutionary spirits, it's another to do it in real life.
             Discuss other various Alinksy principles.  Discuss the Clarence-Piven strategy and its (supposed) implementation in Canada as a path to Marxist transformation.  Discuss how my family has always understood the importance of controlling the banks.  Perhaps also discuss the importance of keeping them out of the hands of the Jews leading into another conversation about the "damn Jews."
             Mention that Martin's father also has "other sources" of funding as another reason it would be of interest to establish a relationship with the church.

[end of first meeting]


Some of this stuff could/should be thrown in by Elijah, I suppose, as we don't want him just sitting there.  Also, towards the end of this first meeting is where I could throw in the separate operation involving the gay aspect where Martin leaves the room and Elijah takes it from there.  I don't think the gay aspect is totally useless.  If we get Moss to condone and/or facilitate a married man cheating on his wife with gay guys (or Jeremiah Wright doing so), that would make national headlines in and of itself as he would likely be forced to resign as pastor.  On the other hand, even if it worked and we decided that would be counterproductive, we could bury it.
            Additional meetings could then be set up, if necessary, and arrangements could be made to bring in one or two of our pastors to introduce to Otis Moss.  Other meetings can be made with other pastors.  We could try to get a meeting with Jeremiah Wright.  Also at this point we would have the option of throwing in some explicitly illegal aspects to this whole affair.  I do think that simply the discussion alone, if it goes right, should be enough to make a big story.  However, if we can work a bribe or two into this, or some sort of child sex ring, we'll work on that.  We could also explore some of these other scenarios with different pastors if we feel we have everything we need on the Marxist issue from Otis Moss.

James sadly can't make it to hate group's banquet, does admire their work tho

NJO: Originally posted at MassResistance.org. It's an anti-LGBT rights hate group.

You are cordially invited to the MassResistance banquet!

Saturday evening, March 6, 2010
Holiday Inn, 242 Adams Place, Boxborough, MA  (Rts. 495 & 111)

THIS WILL BE AN INCREDIBLE EVENING!

Here's the lineup:

Peter LaBarbera: The national GLBT movement in 2010

And countering the GLBT Agenda under Barack Obama.

Peter LaBarbera is president of Americans For Truth about Homosexuality, (AFTAH), the pre-eminent group dedicated to exposing the homosexual activist agenda and opposing their radical efforts to change America. He is perhaps the most authoritative voice in the country on the history, goals, and tactics of that movement.

He has written extensively on most aspects of the homosexual, bisexual, and "transgender" agenda -- with special focus on the inroads that the pro-homosexuality movement has made among America's youth -- and has done over a thousand interviews on the subject. He has worked with Concerned Women for America and Family Research Council, and headed the Illinois Family Institute.

LaBarbera has debated the top homosexual advocates while appearing on hundreds of TV and radio news programs, including FOX's Hannity and Colmes, CNN's "The Larry King Show" and CNN's "Crossfire," C-SPAN's "Washington Journal," National Public Radio's "All Things Considered," and Bill O'Reilly's and Alan Colmes' nationally syndicated radio programs. He has been quoted on homosexuality-related issues in newspapers across the nation, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, Wall Street Journal, Washington Times, Chicago Sun-Times, Los Angeles Times, Boston Globe, as well as by Associated Press and Reuters.

Newly released James O'Keefe video exposing 2009 Mass. transgender conference -- beyond description! First viewing ever.

In January 2009 before he became famous, James O'Keefe went undercover for MassResistance at a regional transgender conference in Peabody, MA. This footage will be seen for the first time at this banquet. What he saw there is beyond description. But it is society's future if the transgender movement - and the current "Transgender rights and hate crimes bill" - continues to move forward.

Brian Camenker: Saul Alinsky's tactics and how they affect you

Brian Camenker will give a brief tutorial on the radical strategies of Saul Alinsky and how they are affecting you now. Alinsky, who wrote Rules for Radicals, is considered a founding father of the radical left in America that is dedicated to changing society. Barack Obama spent years teaching Alinsky's methods as an ACORN organizer in Chicago. Hillary Clinton did her college thesis on Alinsky. You NEED to know what Alinsky is all about, and how his ideology for changing America is affecting your life.

Scott Lively: The focus on Uganda by pro-homosexual activists

Dr. Lively is founder of Abiding Truth Ministries, the Pro-Family Law Center, DefendTheFamily.com, and most recently the Redemption Gate Ministry Society in Springfield, Mass. He has been under relentless attack by homosexual groups for his writings and activism, most recently regarding his involvement in Uganda where he advised the government on legislation regarding homosexuality.

He will have copies of his outstanding new book, Redeeming the Rainbow, A Christian Response to the "Gay" Agenda for sale at the banquet. The book was released online on the MassResisance website several months ago - but at the banquet you'll be able to get it in book form (so you don't have to print out hundreds of pages).

Many of you will remember Dr. Lively's incredible speech at last year's banquet.

This will be an incredible evening! (And you'll get a great dinner.)

NOTE: On Monday, James O'Keefe, the main speaker for our banquet this Saturday night and the celebrated videographer who exposed ACORN, informed us by telephone that he would not be coming. Citing his upcoming court case stemming from a recent undercover operation in New Orleans, he told us that, while he admires our work, "my priority is to raise money for my attorney."

We would certainly have preferred that O'Keefe had informed us of that earlier. But over the last 24 hours we have been able to come up with an outstanding -- maybe even better -- lineup for this weekend's banquet!

Since our originally announced speaker will not be there, we are willing to refund anyone the money who has already paid. (Please let us know right away if you change your plans.) But we really think this lineup will more than make up for it!  Hope to see you all on Saturday night!

From the files of Ben Wetmore: Healthcare Independent Expenditure idea

NJO: "Benjamin Wetmore: A mentor of mine; a genius", said James O'Keefe in an interview in September 2009. So here's a look at some of the wisdom of this certifiably mentorial influence on James' life.

Today, from September 2009, "Healthcare Independent Expenditure idea" (mirrored here and here):

(I wrote this up and sent it to a few friends who I thought could tell me if it was a decent idea or not. Only one responded, and even then without saying whether it was a good idea or not. I'm getting the feeling that I'm either past my prime or unable to get any political scheme funded or people interested anymore. So, I'm posting it here in the resigned defeat of watching another political idea die on the vine.)

Healthcare Independent Expenditure idea

1. Get a voice artist who sounds similar to President Obama

2. Identify and rent lists of elderly likely voters in key areas

a. Senate

Colorado – Bennett
Arkansas – Lincoln
North Dakota – Dorgan

b. House

South Dakota – Herseth
(other potentials)

c. Legal limitations
Check for states where the most favorable regulatory regime exists:
http://winningcalls.com/statelaws.html

3. Record a short spot using the voice artist:

Sterile female voice:
Please hold for a fake message from the President Barack Obama

Obama voice artist:
Good afternoon seniors,
I want to talk to you for a moment about healthcare reform. I know many of you are concerned about losing Medicare and Medicaid benefits and likely cuts to Social Security that will be necessary to pay for my healthcare reforms. However, I want to ask you to end the divisiveness on this issue and support me. I know what’s best for you and even if we do take your benefits, tax your healthcare plan or increase taxes, it will be worth it to provide healthcare to those who can’t afford it. So, please stop opposing me and trust me.
Thank you.

In the Bowels of Baltimore’s ACORN

by Hannah Giles 

  The Baltimore adventure with ACORN started off as a silly idea, both absurd and incredible by all accounts. But it stuck, and quickly escalated into a full blown operation with scripts, method acting, undercover gear, scandalous outfits, fast minds, good hearts, plenty of humor and healthy homemade blueberry muffins.

When I pitched the “prostitute goes into ACORN seeking housing” idea to James O’Keefe at the beginning of the summer, I had absolutely no idea how he would respond. He came back with, “Would you be willing to portray the prostitute?  And if so, when can you do this?”

Needless to say, the project had officially begun.

An idea conceived on an afternoon jog would soon birth material evidence.

Most people come up with ridiculous ideas, things that graze against societal norms. However, not all are capable of action because not all are comfortable with action. Many lack the desire for truth and justice, most don’t even know to want it.  But on occasion, the previous join forces. The right people with the appropriate calling unite against a common enemy, then the sky is the limit and hell is the target. There will be no compromises, only adaptation and infiltration.


The socially unacceptable became our mode of visual operation. When visuals match content, the system will fall.

The staff we dealt with in Baltimore had no problem offering their time to James and me, not because we were two white kids undercover looking for a big story, but because of the mess we claimed to be in and wished to create.

We connected with these people on a level they were comfortable with. We came off as troubled, torn, innovative and devoted individuals who couldn’t skirt the system unless the system helped us along our journey.

Our presence screamed, as James puts it, “unique situation.”  And so when we sought council in regards to tax evasion, obtaining a house for use as an underage brothel, the avoidance of an abusive pimp, and establishing illegitimate congressional campaign funds, they were ready and unfazed by the direction our conversation took.

James and I saw the ACORN Housing location in Baltimore as a target–the den of a giant corrupt lion. We wanted to get a reaction and gauge the corruption. We came armed with the things necessary to cause a reaction; we came equipped with the things necessary to capture the reaction.  We expected to be successful. We weren’t overly confident but we had tested methods at our disposal and were able to calculate the lines along which the staffers would react. We didn’t go in expecting major results; we also didn’t limit what could happen seated behind closed doors. We went in knowing that if we were meant to succeed, we would. It is not as if we went in carefree and lah-dee-dah. But we were confident in our mission.

Chaos for Glory: My Time With ACORN

NJO: Source: The archived page from biggovernment.com.

by James O'Keefe 

 
A famous community organizer once said, “The only way to upset the power structure in your communities is to goad them, confuse them, irritate them and, most of all, make them live by their own rules.  If you make them live by their own rules, you destroy them.” Impossible demands can irritate modern leftists in ways nothing else can, whether it’s by banning Lucky Charms cereal because it’s racist against Irish people, calling Planned Parenthood saying you want to donate money for black abortions in the name of Margaret Sanger, or making Sen. Snowe sign an oversized bailout check for a billion dollars to Amtrak, in her own office.

 

~

The scenario we posed the ACORN Housing employees in Baltimore is due to the application of similar power tactics. We gave ACORN a taste of its own medicine.  ACORN was alleged to be thug-like, criminal, and nefarious.  This criminal behavior was evidenced by a video of Baltimore ACORN community organizers breaking the locks on foreclosed homes.  Instead of railing against their radicalism, it is best to bring out this type of radicalism. Hannah Giles and I took advantage of ACORN’s regard for thug criminality by posing the most ridiculous criminal scenario we could think of and seeing if they would comply–which they did without hesitation.

Additionally, instead of focusing on foreclosure itself, which has become seemingly as politicized as abortion, we focused on crimes more difficult for the left to defend: trafficking of young helpless girls and tax evasion. The first group represents the severely disadvantaged, the second a threat to the distribution of wealth.

While manipulation or entrapment occurs when people are encouraged to do things they otherwise wouldn’t, the pre-set trap is their own.  These tactics allow the viewer to see ACORN’s soul; their playing field and their morality, out in the open.  Their system is based on conflict and change for its own sake.  This system is based on totalitarian principles and class war techniques. These people understand pressure, power and self-interest.  When the Baltimore employees saw we were shady dealers, their instincts clicked in, as we were prime recruits.

ACORN has ascended.  They elect our politicians and receive billions in tax money. Their world is a revolutionary, socialistic, atheistic world, where all means are justifiable.  And they create chaos, again, for it’s own sake.  It is time for us to be studying and applying their tactics, many of which are ideologically neutral.  It is time, as Hannah said as we walked out of the ACORN facility, for conservative activists to “create chaos for glory.”

Brokeback Priests: Priests tell Gays to Stay Gay

Ben and James go undercover in Boston and get homosexual advice from two Reformed "Catholic" Franciscan Ministers.

NJO: A video titled "Brokeback Priests: Priests tell Gays to Stay Gay" was uploaded to James O'Keefe's YouTube channel VeritasVisuals in the summer of 2009 but was later made "private". As with the Love Thy Prisoner Campaign video, its content was recorded at Boston Gay Pride 2009. The above caption is from the archived YouTube page. The 3 still frames are taken from YouTube via a bit of URL trickery.
