Yesterday, I received a phone call from a member at Project Veritas staff wanting to give their side of the story before refunding our donation from the multiplier. She was gracious and friendly, but sounded very worn down. I expressed that I didn’t want our money being caught in the middle of their in-fighting. Basically, I said get your house in order and I’ll consider supporting you in the future. I got my refund.

I hope anyone/EVERYONE who requests a refund ALSO explains that the current BOARD MUST RESIGN in order for donations to resume in the future.

Just be careful giving your refund information as it pertains to your credit card if that was the payment source. Scammers abound.

I 100% agree. The US gov is responsible for these homeland terrorists attacks. I said it from the 1st time I heard of them. They are manufacturing these crimes against their own citizens. Just like the shut downs & mandates.

Jacquie and anyone: Did James abuse the expense account or not? Let's have it out in the open. Even Jeff C. is dropping the ball on this one; enough circumstantial evidence. What are the accusations against James? Donors should know, including supporting James in the future.

I don't buy it that they can't say. James himself should disclose exactly what the board said to him, and address the issue directly.

For me, all of the accusations of misuse of funds imploded because 3 of the examples were bogus and easily refuted.

1. Reimburse for a wedding venue that was the staff Christmas party. Seriously?

2. DJ equipment that was used over and over for PV donor parties and probably raised 20x it's cost. That lie was refuted by a donor.

3. Black car instead of Uber. Tell any CEO he needs to Uber to save money. Or his whistleblowers. Or journalists that need some level of security.

The Board? All the stamp of a number of snakes having slithered in on the sly. Infiltration is perhaps the main method of collapsing societal orders. Our institutions? Our Churches? All the decline has been orchestrated from without. (And even from outside of the country).

The Demons Against us. What a piece of lying silvered tongued work!

PV board is a microcosm of that collapse. You cannot accept sjw, rinos and others like them in your home, family or business. They only destroy. It's what they do.

After 74 years of life I conclude that Marxism cannot create anything. That is, if God is the Creator, then Marxism is the anti-Christ destroyer. And this is why Putin's Russia brought back the Russian Orthodox Church. It really is God, Family and Patria. Not government which comes first.

That's very helpful detail. Detail and specificity are exactly what is needed. I do wish James would simply state what he thinks their motivations are, naming names and circumstances.

There seems to be an aspect of Trump syndrome here: wasn't he the one responsible for putting these bad people in place? Isn't that part of his skill or lack thereof? I was patient with Trump through many mistakes, but he made so many astounding blunders in his hiring decisions, only to denigrate them later when he was the one who chose them, it's pathological. Virtually every major position, the most important positions, were bad hires by Trump again and again. Similarly, how did James manage to have such a lousy board in the first place?

You need to watch the 45 minute video of James addressing everyone in the company about what they did to him and what the accusations made were. It was clearly bogus.

Agreed. He lays it all out clearly. He deals in truth.

I THINK I

like this comment. When you say “it was

clearly bogus”, are

you referring to the accusations? Or are

you referring to the video?

IMO, the accusations were bogus.

Monterey's avatar

Thank you for this reply. I actually try to be clear about what I write, and I can see why this part would have been kind of confusing. Yes, the bogus reference was about the accusations against James.

It’s worth the watch and for the record I don’t think his employees were against him until this Pfizer story.

Someone got to them and likely made some an offer they couldn’t refuse. James even addresses this, one employee is working Night Shift at Walmart so he can have the ability to work at PV because he or she believes in the cause. So these journalists aren’t making big bucks, so a few thousand might be really tempting to them (Pfizer)

I believe the employee

said he WOULD work

the night shift at WalMart if that’s what it took to continue his work at PV. Somebody pls correct me if I’m

wrong.

You may be correct. I definitely could have misheard that

This was not a video directed at the public, per se. This was a video of an internal meeting where he specifically addressed the employees and told them what his observations have been, what the board accused him of, etc. This was not something necessarily to go out to the public, though obviously got leaked out very quickly. Just watch the video so you can understand more, before tossing out accusations.

If you read one of Jeff's earlier pieces on this, James probably CAN'T publicly accuse the board of anything because it makes him liable to be sued for damaging the company. But if you watch the internal video others have linked, he says a lot there.

More funny business to me

Lets say the board is being 100% truthful about their accusations and James was doing naughty things with foundation money.

If its true, why on earth would you want him back?

It would be like the board of a bank saying "yes the bank president committed fraud, but we want him to have a say in how the bank continues to run"

My thoughts as well - until they realized that anyone who matters hates them, and they have to do an about-face to save their PERSONAL reputations. They wanted a do-over, no matter what happened. Prima facie lack of integrity.

He did a big video the

day he went in to grab his stuff. He addressed everything, line by line. It’s out there

What method did you use to request it?

Expand full comment
Jacquie's avatar

I used this link https://www.anedot.com/donorsupport

You fill out your information and choose a reason why you are asking for a refund. Took a day or so for Anedot to contact me, who in turn, said they were forwarding my request to Project Veritas. Then, Project Veritas contacted me yesterday. I received notification later that day my refund is being processed.

Jerome's avatar

I just requested refunds of all three of my donations last year. Reason was "Did not receive the item/merchandise". Good thing I kept the receipts! Left a nice little note about the board, too.

I sent an email to donations@projectveritas.com. Sent over the weekend, Monday morning I have a 1-sentence reply confirming that my refund has been processed through Anedot whatever that is. Anedot also sent me confirmation. Has not showed up yet in my account but I'm pretty confident it will soon. Here is the text of what I sent:

"On January 27 I participated in the Coffee & Covid "multiplier" and donated $22.22 + credit card fees to PV. I donated entirely with the understanding that James O'Keefe was and would remain the leader of PV. Now that he is gone, and the circumstances surrounding his departure, I believe that my donation was solicited under false pretenses. Please inform me how I can go about obtaining a refund. In the absence of a prompt response from you, I will dispute the charge with my credit card company."
