Project Veritas collapses

Project Veritas, the group that began with James O’Keefe, then fired him, is facing total financial collapse.

What’s happening at Project Veritas?

The latest news comes from The Post Millennial, the We Love Trump Report,and several X influencers. First came a post on the Project Veritas account saying,

SOS Hannah Giles just fired us all.

The timestamp reads 4:15 p.m. EDT yesterday. Minutes later, the post vanished – but not before Benny Johnson, Jack Posobiec, and others screencapped it and shared it.

Hannah Giles, who had been with Project Veritas since James O’Keefe founded it, took over as CEO after O’Keefe left. The leavetaking – or the palace coup – took place after O’Keefe published a shocking exposé of Pfizer Pharmaceuticals. According to it, Pfizer teams were mutating the coronavirus agent to make it more potent – to sell more vaccines.

After the abortive “fired us all” post, several current or former members of Project Veritas staff called in to The Post Millennial, mostly to confirm the firing, but also to paint an unflattering portrait of Giles and her leadership of the company.

Oddly enough, none of the personalities whose names bore mention at the time of the O’Keefe firing bear mention again. With one exception: George Skakel, a member of the Project Veritas board, now slated to take over as CFO. Whether he is or is not related to the Skakels who married into the Kennedys of Hyannisport, Massachusetts, is unclear.

One thing does stand confirmed: “when James quit, the donations dried up.” Project Veritas put out a beg-a-thon letter shortly after the O’Keefe firing.

The destruction of an empire

Hannah Giles actually took over in April – and by these newest reports, everything went downhill from then on. The worst part seems to have come when the board voted to stop indemnifying two key reporters, Spencer Meads and Eric Cochran. Apparently the board did this to save money.

The company attorney, according to a letter The Post Millennial quoted, was furious.

Not only is it unethical to no longer protect journalists that have gone out into the field and risked their livelihoods to for the betterment of our country, I believe ceasing to do so will open Project Veritas to legal liability. Ten days ago, on July 31, 2023, we published the Ashley Biden Diary story (against the wishes of Eric Cochran and others) with a main goal of raising money for the legal defenses of our journalists. In the piece, Hannah states “we continue to provide representation to all of them.” All of them means Spencer Meads, Eric Cochran, and James O’Keefe.

There are serious issues with honesty in telling the public we are providing representation for Spencer and Eric and then mere days later voting to cease that representation. There may also be fraud given Project Veritas solicited funds based upon that claim which is now no longer true. In that vein, with all respect to all involved, I must and do hereby decline to participate in this decision or the execution of it.

From the date and interval above, that letter went out on August 10 or 11, 2023. The apparent mass firings happened the following week.

In the meantime, James O’Keefe has founded a new company that does the same work he did at Project Veritas. This includes spotlights on:

Apparent money laundering, with hundreds of donations made in senior citizens’ names without their authorization, and

The role of BlackRock in making or breaking Presidents and starting wars or stopping them, whichever pays the more.

O’Keefe’s latest scoop, apparently, is of the Fulton County (Georgia) Board of Elections, and involves illegal voter registration.

Given the indictment of Donald J. Trump in that very county, this last is ironical in the extreme.
