In
this third video of the series, a new allegation surfaces regarding the
alleged improper sexual behavior of Maryland Deputy Attorney General
Thiruvendran Vignarajah. The allegation comes from an anonymous letter
which appears to have been written by a member of MD AG Frosh's staff,
but we don't know who sent it. Also, reporters were rebuffed as they
attended a Bar Association fundraiser to obtain a statement from AG
Frosh.
In Part II of this series, MD Deputy Attorney General Vignarajah sent multiple sexually explicit texts to the Veritas female videographer. Later, he had her delete them to destroy the evidence. Unknown to Vignarajah, the text messages had been saved by Project Veritas and some are exposed in the undercover video. He is also shown wearing a wedding ring in public, but not wearing it in a bar and later in a hotel room.

Maryland's married Deputy Attorney General tells all to female videographer on hidden video. He reveals Maryland state secrets to a reporter he tries to impress, including a major multi-state EPA case. He provides key information on upcoming governor’s race from a hotel bed and displays his extreme (and secret) position on the Second Amendment from a bar.

NJO: That's right folks, to super-secret Tea Party consultant and campaign finance lawyer extraordinaire Dan Backer (Esquire), it matters not if the tipple is gin, vodka, frozen strawberry daiquiri, or blood of the underclass --- he'll gladly gorge himself on it all, then brag about how splendidly ruddy and swollen he looks in Playboy, 'cause he's a literal human tick, baby, and that's just how he rolls.
Here's a song that seems roughly appropriate, courtesy of winding-down-Britpop-era Blur:
Scott
Zamost and Abbie Boudreau at CNN asked for a comment for their likely
slanderous, libelous 'documentary' "On the Edge", this is the response
I'm sending.
Background:
CNN
claims it's "America's most trusted news source" but when the ACORN
scandal broke out, it was falling over itself to cover for an
organization intent on voter fraud, registration fraud and an
organization that assisted people planning to engage in child
prostitution.
So far CNN has only reported on the breaking story on blatant ACORN
CORRUPTION from angles that attempt to extricate the government funded
“community organizing” enterprise from the extreme crime we caught on
videotape.
First CNN pushed the false ACORN line that “[t]his film crew tried to pull this sham at other offices and failed.”
To set that record straight please check the Washington D.C. tape we
dropped today at BigGovernment.com, which is also being aired on your
cable news competitor with curiously higher ratings.
Now that ACORN lied to you, Jonathan Klein, what are you going to do?
Here’s what I have noticed from your coverage: You brought in the
damage control crowd to FRAME the story. Before even airing our damning
Baltimore video. You know your audience would turn on ACORN if you
showed them the evidence. So instead you put your competitors in
journalism in the crosshairs instead of airing a blockbuster report
making massive waves elsewhere.
You even trotted out shameless Clinton era apologist Joe Conason to challenge the ETHICS of our expose. Unreal.
What about the ethics of those at ACORN caught on tape trying to help
create a brothel featuring illegal immigrant age range 13-15 from El
Salvador?
What about the countless laws broken on tape from a group that stands to get billions from President Obama’s “stimulus” package?
Why don’t we wait to have the Columbia Journalism School debate on “journalistic ethics” after you do actual journalism.
When you air the raw ACORN footage that is now viral on the Internet,
and being played on FOX NEWS and countless talk radio shows, then and
only then — when America can see, hear and smell the stench we have
exposed — will I subject myself to a CNN hit job.
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.
Allegations are breaking against one of the most controversial
organizations in the country. If true, then people could be going to
prison, and Congress should immediately stop funneling taxpayer money to
this organization until law enforcement has investigated the matter.
The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) is
regularly in the news, usually in stories where persons working for them
are charged or even convicted of voter fraud or other election-related
crimes. ACORN’s corporate leadership always disavows any knowledge of
such criminal wrongdoing.
ACORN is also quick to point out the public service work that the
organizations engages in, mostly related to housing for low-income
people. And over the years ACORN has received vast sums of federal money
in connection with this housing work.
But now a video recording and transcript have surfaced that—if
genuine—could show persons allegedly affiliated with ACORN involved in a
host of state and federal crimes, even aiding and abetting underage
prostitution and exploitation.
According to the tape and transcript, two individuals posing as young
people involved in prostitution, under the false names of Kenya and
James, go to an ACORN-identified office in Baltimore, Maryland. They
tell the worker, identified as Shira, that they are trying to get a
house, and slowly leak details until the worker understands that the
girl is saying she’s involved in prostitution. At that point, since
Kenya’s “job” is a cash-only business for which Kenya doesn’t file a tax
return, Shira says, “let me get someone here from taxes,” and brings in
another woman calling herself Tonja.
The undercover couple continues to weave their story of criminal
activity, and finally say that one reason they need a house is because
they have thirteen El Salvadoran girls, all around age fifteen, that are
in this country illegally and that they are pimping out as prostitutes.
In short, they need a house to serve as a brothel for these girls.
At this point, the woman identified as Tonja reacts to this appalling
information by telling them that Kenya should list three of these
underage foreign prostitutes as dependents so that Kenya can receive a
tax benefit (but not all thirteen because that could attract government
scrutiny). Tonja goes on to advise Kenya to falsify the appropriate
forms to say that they are family members.
The bottom line is this: Both state and federal law enforcement
should immediately launch a full investigation of this matter. They
should determine if this two-hour recording is legitimate (there is no
reason to believe it’s a hoax, but obviously the first step is to
confirm that it’s authentic). If so, then depending o the governing law
in that jurisdiction, those on the video tape could possibly be indicted
and charged with numerous crimes, including prostitution, tax fraud,
housing fraud, conspiracy to commit each of the above, and even charges
related to underage prostitution.
While James and Kenya know that there are no underage El Salvadoran
girls and no prostitution, the people identified on the tape as being
affiliated with ACORN evidently believe these statements were true,
making them conspirators in all of the relevant crimes depending on the
applicable laws regarding conspiracy in that jurisdiction.
Crimes involving the exploitation of children are among the most
heinous that human beings are capable of committing. They are especially
toxic to the rule of law because they devastate young lives, and
undermine the victims’ confidence in a just society. If this video
recording is confirmed as authentic, then what happened in Baltimore is
utterly reprehensible, and should be prosecuted to the fullest extent
permitted under the law.
What is all the more troubling here is that ACORN is involved in
administering housing programs for the federal government, is involved
in voter registration, and in jockeying to be a major part of the
national census next year, going door-to-door and getting information
from people in their homes.
There have now been criminal convictions of ACORN personnel in
various states around the country, usually involving voting and
elections. Should this video recording turn out to be legitimate, it
raises grave concerns as to whether this is an isolated incident in
Baltimore. It also raises a question of how high up the ACORN
organizational ladder this information goes.
The truth needs to be sought out in this situation. And not a single
dollar of taxpayer money should go to ACORN until it has been exonerated
of all these incriminating allegations.
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.”
The community group (I use this term loosely) ACORN, breaks into foreclosed homes, moving the previous owners back in. This is criminal trespassing. This story was reported by WJZ TV in Baltimore. The home in this video had already been sold by the bank and had new owners. My question is, why doesn't ACORN use the money that Barack Obama has given them, to repurchase the homes and give them back to the previous owners?
