Project Veritas is down from 1.4 million followers to 1.3, and it’s still going down. James O’Keefe went from 1.1 million followers to 1.2. The people are speaking. [Update at 8:00 ET: Project Veritas is down 250,000; James O’Keefe is up 199,794.]
Project Veritas released a fairly nasty statement claiming they didn’t fire James O’Keefe. However, they did suspend him indefinitely, took all his powers and responsibilities away, and told him to leave for two weeks on an unpaid “voluntary” vacation. While publicly accusing him of wasting donor money, they say they still want to speak with him. They basically fired him and are having second thoughts. O’Keefe came back from his “voluntary” vacation and said either they go or he goes. So, he’s gone.
Mr. O’Keefe gave a deeply heartfelt 45-minute speech to his staff that answered several questions, and it’s very different from Project Veritas’s claims.
There wouldn’t even be a Project Veritas without Mr. O’Keefe, and there might not be after he’s gone. The board claims they really care about their donors, but they should also care about the company’s founder and the face of Project Veritas.
Mr. O’Keefe said this all happened suddenly, without warning, and it came after the Pfizer expose.
Usually, when you take down a CEO, you have a paper trail of reviews and recommendations or warnings. They don’t seem to have that. The way this was done seems questionable.
The Statement
“Today, James O’Keefe decided to remove his belongings from Project Veritas headquarters,” the board said in the statement. “The Board and Management made numerous attempts in the last 14 days to have a conversation with James, but he ignored our outreach and decided to instead leak private information to others, either by doing so himself or by proxy.”
The board claimed that “although PV Leadership has not concluded looking into the full scale of financial issues over the years, a preliminary review at this time indicates that James has spent an excessive amount of donor funds in the last three years on personal luxuries. More is still being uncovered during the ongoing review at this time. Contrary to many reports from today, James was suspended indefinitely pending the resolution of a fulsome investigation and clarity, which will need to be provided by a third-party investigative audit report.”
The board listed several financial concerns, including the cost of using black cars.
“James also left us no choice but to suspend him in the last few weeks when he unilaterally fired the CFO, who can only be fired with Board approval,” the statement continued. “That is a violation of our non-profit’s bylaws. James went as far as to say that a Board member had approved this firing to others, but it was later discovered that it was not the case. That member did not approve the firing. The Board approved James’ suspension so it would have time to properly investigate these internal infractions.”
James claims that the Board did not allow him to send an apology letter to the staff, which is not true. The Board never told James he was not to speak with staff members, nor that he could not apologize to them,” the statement continued. “But, more than anything, the Board cares about the donors of this organization, who decide to donate their hard-earned money to us because they believe in the mission. We could not allow for our donors to send us money and have it be misappropriated in such a way. We love our supporters, and we would never sit idly by as money is being used for matters that are not mission related.”
The board asserted that “even with all of this public fallout, the Board still wants to speak with James. We did not fire him, nor do we want him to resign. We would like to continue conversations with James to resolve internal matters rather than litigate them publicly.”
“Project Veritas will continue to be transparent with the public as more information can be released over time. The fight for truth will never stop.”
We don’t care about the vans.
You have to wonder if Pfizer paid them off. What precipitated this?
I’ve donated repeatedly to Mr. O’Keefe, not a lot, but regularly. I don’t care how many cars he had to rent.
Since it’s already out there, here are my heartfelt remarks to my staff this morning.
I need to make clear I have not resigned from the company, Project Veritas, I founded 13 years ago. I was stripped of my position as CEO and Chairman.

So according to the Project Veritas board, James O’Keefe spending money on flights, company events, and black cars was enough to force him out and destroy your entire company? pic.twitter.com/Sv88IrMJvi

I would love to know who is on this board and how much stock they own, and how much money they or their relatives are getting from Vanguard and Blackrock?
They won and we took it up the hoop again. I hate our party of cowards who are unwilling to fight for those of us who stand up. I will never vote again.
Well Ryan, that will really show them. If you don’t vote you are worthless. Actions, not words are what is needed to oppose the globalists who mean to take everything you have, your life included. Failure to resist is tantamount to joining the most dangerous threat to humankind in all of human history.
We should publicize photos of the board and their families until the public can readily identify them. Then encourage “stranger on stranger violence” so they never know who or where it will come from.
Apparently Pfizer now runs Project Veritas as it does everything else.
Who are the board members?
Where is PV going to get operating funds now that the only one working is gone?
Pfizer
RIP PV 2/20/23
Keep publishing the names and pictures of the PV Board members who initiated this coup.
What idiots! Project Veritas is now Project Kaput!
Per Pfizer. Shut down Project Veritas.
What the Board wants is to control Mr. O’Keefe while spending their Pfizer money.
PV is the new FOX News Network. What once was a beacon of truth and information is now, “Brought to you by Pfizer” media outlet.
Without James, PV doesn’t function. James is PV.
It seems to me that everybody has a price. They were all bought. All of them.
Pfizer Mafia put out a hit
If anything ‘The Board’ said were true, they would have waited until the next story hit to let go of James, knowing the timing was way off. I’ve been with James since Acorn, and Project Veritas is nothing without him…and we are not the only ones who know that. This is an obvious coup, except the ones who started it have no intentions of winning. Just a blatant take down.
True, Project Veritas will soon be the Lincoln Project. This was a very corrupt take down.
I am watching Project Veritassss sink like a rock while O’Keefe keeps climbing up and I’m loving it. I hope the corpse of PV is close to zero by the time I wake up tomorrow. O’Keefe can always start anew but PV was obviously infiltrated and this was done because of the Pfizer expose. WE ARE NOT STUPID. We support James O’Keefe. If you want to see the Twitter numbers change in real time,here it is: https://www.twitch.tv/jhayes88
Very well said… the general public no longer takes thing at “face value” we have been lied to by OUR OWN GOVERNMENT tooooooo many times. James has always spoken the true.
Pfizer has deep pockets and sensitive toes as James has discovered. Those pockets are deep enough to hold the whole board of PV and that’s where they went as soon as James stepped on those BIG PHARMA TOES.
I’ll not watch another PV video no matter how damning it will be although I’m not expecting anymore damning reports from PV since oit appears the deep state got to them.
Nailed it.
O’Keefe may already have plans for something else. He may show up on Alex Jones’ show to discuss. Keep an eye out. He’s not going away….although it looks like Pfizer Veritassss is done.
There won’t be another PV video. That was the point of ousting O’Keefe.
UNSUBSCRIBE from Youtube Project Veritas, DESTROY THEM!!!
James should never give up his next company to a board of idiotsa nd traitors!
Live and learn. Grow from this experience.
i’m Australian but rememeber Mt Reagan , when the US goes down , where will the world find another yard stick of freedom , Mr Okeefe and his results are why i dontated and followed you from here , but it seems the goldman sax pedo lovers are rallying again to remove whats not profitable for them
i dont care about what he spent MY money on as long as it got results and this took the planet one tiny step away from draconian arsewipes AND A TINY STEP CLOSER TO THE TRUTH , I gave full permission when i dontated that Mr okeefe use it how ever he wished , wages , payments for office , for FRIGGING burgers if HE CHOSE
who are these board arsewipes ? i know the former CFO is a corrupt weirdo loving POS who should never have been in PV , but i heard Mr Okeefe ok’s that , seems that was another lie by the board
the PV board seems connected to the big money players and Pfizer , or so it smells
James start again , get your good staff and take em with you , i’ll send you my $50 a month as usual and sure others will too
Good Lord Bless you and the other HONEST PV folks
May HE damn the not honest ones to eternal damnation
Mr Reagan sorry .. damn i’m piss off with the PV board suckholes
i knew it was over when he started hiring homosexuals – it’s the same pattern everytime – jews infiltrate something and use the 45 goals of communism to destroy it – every. single. time.
O’Keefe will make the same mistake again. He has no J-dar.
Arrogant board thinks they can boss around the person whose activity is why they have donors in the first place. Now they are trying to pull him back in because this was all about controlling him, which the board just lost. Fools.
How many companies out there have employees who seem to think They can run it better. You’ll find those employees have very little concept of what it takes to keep it running. In their little sphere it may seem they know better, but top management has to consider every sphere, not just the one.
