James O'Keefe released Epstein-related material in May that Democrats recently released with blacked-out names.

James O'Keefe yesterday, back in May, put out the stuff the Democrats just put out of inside Epstein's lair in the Caribbean at Little Pito Island, but they blacked out the names and stuff on the walls and on the phone. So they covered up.

James O'Keefe warned Alex Jones that the Epstein case involves Trump's family.

When James called me, he said, yo, I'm concerned. I want you to know the basis of the Trump administration, Epstein. It's not Trump or his family, but it's not good. I just want you to know this in case something happens.

James O'Keefe's business model relies on pretending to be targeted and persecuted by the system to generate revenue.

Pretending to be targeted is literally James's business model. If he didn't pretend that he was being persecuted by the system, he'd have no way to make money. I would argue that James O'Keefe is actually a living embodiment of how there is no systemic persecution of these right-wing shitheads because he has very little talent and negative charisma, and yet he has zero shame, and he's willing to do just about anything for a publicity stunt.

James O'Keefe was allowed a quiet exit from Project Veritas after the board found out about his lavish spending habits using donor funds.

So that's all a fun retelling of how James O'Keefe left Project Veritas. In the real world, according to Veritas, he was being allowed a quiet exit from the company after the board found out about his lavish spending habits using Veritas donor funds.

James O'Keefe promotes an unplugged phone owned by Eric Prince during a video about Trump and Russia.

These guys talking about Trump using burner phones, and then he's like, I've got a phone to sell you! Okay, that is more dystopic than anything. Anything I've ever seen, any corporate intrusion idea I have ever seen is not as dystopic as the guy trying to feed you overthrow the government shit. Putting an ad in for a burner phone in the middle of overthrowing the government. Also, a burner phone that's a company that's owned by Eric Prince, no less.

James O'Keefe was removed from Project Veritas due to financial misappropriation and legal liabilities from his stunts.

However, the Project Veritas board didn't appreciate that he was spending ridiculous amounts of money on personal stuff like, quote, $14,000 on a charter flight to meet someone to fix his boat under the guise of meeting with a donor, or how he spent, quote, more than $150,000 on private cars in an 18-month span. They directly called it misappropriation of their finances, and a lot of his stunts have the potential to leave Veritas open to legal exposure, as it did in 2022 when the organization was successfully sued for $120,000 for violating wiretapping laws in one of their stings. Exactly. James O'Keefe is a piece of shit, and his actions are a liability for the organization that he founded now that it's grown into something that involves more than publicity stunts to feed his ego. And he got bit by his own snake.

James O'Keefe is recruiting people to act as props or whistleblowers for his videos.

It honestly comes off less about like he's trying to prove some kind of claim. It seems more like he has this narrative that he wants to sell to people, and he's trying to recruit other people to play the role of whistleblowers for him, like to use them as props. He's multi-level marketing. Would you like to be a prop in my next?

James O'Keefe's misinformation has the potential to lead to violence against left-leaning protesters.

This would be completely laughable and discrediting under normal circumstances, but what O 'Keefe is doing has a strong potential to lead to violence against left-leaning protesters. Who easily tricked viewers, we'll assume, are Antifa and thus domestic terrorists.

08 Nov 2019
James O'Keefe's Epstein story release is intended to attack the media rather than report on Epstein.

There's another aspect to this that deserves mention, and that is that James O 'Keefe doesn't give a fuck about the Epstein story. He's doing this to attack the media. This entire thing is about attacking the institutions that have rightly excluded him and talked about how he's a lying, manipulative shill for right-wing billionaires ever since he and Andrew Breitbart got together. Nothing about what he's doing brings anything new to the Epstein story. Literally, the only thing that comes out of this is trying to attack the media. That is all he cares about.

The conversation recorded by James O'Keefe regarding Scott Charney was about pulling fire alarms and throwing a stink bomb, not mustard gas.

Charney was arrested because James O 'Keefe had secretly recorded him discussing the idea of a quote-unquote acid attack on the deplorable. The conversation was about pulling the fire alarms and throwing a stink bomb, by the way. But of course, Paul Joseph Watson and his ilk make it out to be mustard gas or some shit.

James O'Keefe is a con man whose productions should not be taken seriously.

James O 'Keefe is such a longtime con man that I really just can't take anything he produces too seriously. I would think that anyone who had any actual scoop about anything in the real world would know better than to call him when there's plenty of nonpartisan investigative reporters ready and willing to take on issues related to big tech.

26 Jun 2019
James O'Keefe settled a lawsuit with Juan Vera by paying $100,000 after a judge ruled he did not have permission to record their private conversation.

Then there was Juan Vera, an Acorn employee who sued O 'Keefe after his bullshit pimp video came out. O'Keefe didn't have permission to record their private conversation, so O'Keefe tried to argue that the conversation wasn't private. The judge didn't agree, so O'Keefe quickly settled the case, paying Vera $100,000.

James O'Keefe misrepresents a Google flowchart about unconscious bias in AI as evidence of a plan to program people.

The last node on the flowchart says, quote, people like us are programmed, which O 'Keefe presents as that being supposed to reflect Google's goal. In context, this isn't a flowchart that shows Google's brainwashing plans. It's a slide in a PowerPoint presentation about the interaction between human input and AI in terms of algorithm creation. Just after this slide in the presentation, there's a slide that says, quote, And unfortunately, we humans have a history of making product design decisions that are in line with defaults and not with the needs of everyone. The we get programmed thing isn't the result. It's discussing a problem that arises from unconsciously accepting default ideas that are dangerous. This is just intentionally dishonest.

26 Jun 2019
James O'Keefe misrepresents Janai's statements by ignoring the context provided in the released documents.

So when he's also discussing that Janai said that no one was drawing a line in the sand, and that's, you know, Google's a big company, so why not them? He's completely misrepresenting what she's clearly talking about. A lot of this becomes totally clear if you actually read the documents that Project Veritas released along with this video. A lot of the information in there actually debunks everything that James O 'Keefe is saying.

27 May 2019
James O'Keefe did not dress as a pimp in the ACORN videos; that footage was edited in later to mislead viewers.

Those videos were manipulatively edited to such an absurd extent that the one thing Alex remembers about the video isn't real. James O'Keefe didn't go to Acorn dressed as a 70s pimp with a girl dressed like a prostitute. They showed up and talked to people in what you might call business casual attire, but later edited in footage of them dressed as a pimp and prostitute in order to make the viewer think that all the interviews, as they were happening when they were talking to the Acorn worker, they want you to think that they were dressed as a pimp and that this person was engaged.

James O'Keefe and his associates manipulated the telephone system in a federal building, likely intending to bug phones.

Once inside, according to the FBI, they quote, manipulated the telephone system, which led some to believe that their true intention was to bug her phones. You can't do that. You can't. No, you can't. Like, you couldn't come here and manipulate your phone device without us being like, this is a crime. O 'Keefe denied that that's what he was doing, but ultimately it's hard to see what the goal of this stunt would have been. She said her phones were really busy, so they dress up like telephone employees and mess with the phone system to prove the phones aren't receiving a higher call volume? Their actions don't really make a lot of sense in that context, but they make a ton of sense if their goal was to illegally tap her phone.

27 May 2019
James O'Keefe received a lenient sentence of probation and community service due to white privilege.

So James O 'Keefe was sentenced to three years probation, 100 hours of community service, and a $1,500 fine. This is just one of the many instances in his career of him being the Living embodiment of the white privilege he insists doesn't exist. Because anybody else caught in the situation that he was caught in would not... We wouldn't know about them.

27 May 2019
James O'Keefe considered conducting a stunt at Sidwell School but deemed it too risky due to Secret Service presence.

Well, that's one of the things that I thought about doing with this recent Citizens Against Senseless Violence mockumentary we made on YouTube. I thought about going to... The Sidwell School, this is the school where David Gregory's kids go in Washington, as well as Barack Obama's kids go. And I just thought it was too risky because, you know, their Secret Service is there. Smart. It would just be too risky. They'd probably arrest me immediately.

The James O'Keefe video about shredding the Constitution does not prove that universities want to get rid of the Constitution.

The shredding of the Constitution is always the girl who is the mark or is the plant. It's always her idea. And people are like, I guess. It doesn't prove anything. It doesn't prove that the universities want to get rid of the Constitution. It's fucking nonsense.

20 Jan 2017
James O'Keefe manipulated videos in the Acorn case and had to pay a $100,000 settlement.

They did that bogus video about Acorn where he ended up having to issue a public apology and pay $100,000 in a court settlement because he was shown to have manipulated videos to show people saying things they didn't say. He purported to have worn a pimp costume into the Acorn. Place? He did not.

20 Jan 2017
James O'Keefe planned a staged encounter to seduce CNN correspondent Abby Boudreau using hidden cameras.

Also, in August 2010, James O 'Keefe planned a staged encounter with CNN correspondent Abby Boudreau, who was doing a documentary on the young conservative movement. He set up an appointment at his office in Maryland to discuss a video shoot. Izzy Santa, which is a crazy name, executive... I could have swore that what you meant was like, is James O 'Keefe Santa? I'm like, I mean, the evidence isn't in yet. They weren't in the same room. I wonder if he has a hastily edited video showing that he is Santa. Is he Santa? Answers no. Executive director of Project Veritas warned Boudreaux that O 'Keefe was planning to punk her on the boat by trying to seduce her, which he would film on hidden cameras. Boudreaux did not board the boat and soon left the area.

20 Jan 2017
James O'Keefe committed entrapment by taping progressive activists planning to use a stink bomb at a Trump event.

He's literally committing entrapment. Yeah, no, but you can't commit entrapment if you're not part of the... If you're not a cop. Yeah, exactly. So in the latest video, he taped some people who were progressive activists who were planning to put a stink bomb in the ventilation at the deplorable, which would cause a stampede or blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
