'''James O'Keefe''' is an independent [[American]] [[journalist]] from Westwood, [[New Jersey]]. He has repeatedly exposed the [[liberal media]], particularly [[CNN]], and has uncovered systemic bias within [[Big Tech]] against [[conservative]] viewpoints. He is also notable for producing undercover videos alleging ACORN's corruption and [[Planned Parenthood]]'s [[racism ]] in its [[pro-abortion ]] stance.

O'Keefe was ousted as [[CEO]] of ''Project Veritas'' in February 2023 in a [[Soros]]/[[Pfizer]] [[coup|hostile takeover]] of the board of directors,<ref>https://youtu.be/hbXPUX3Mejg</ref> giving pretextual reasons such as O'Keefe supposedly yelling an employee or two. In March 2023 O'Keefe formed a new company, [https://www.okeefemediagroup.com/ O'Keefe Media Group]. Meanwhile, after excluding O'Keefe, Project Veritas then plummeted, laid off employees, and in September 2023 announced that it was suspending fundraising attempts.<ref>https://www.cbsnews.com/news/project-veritas-james-okeefe-layoffs-fundraising-pause/</ref> After February 2023, and the expose on a Pfizer executive admitting that Pfizer was breeding [[coronavirus]] variants for [[profit]],<ref>[https://rumble.com/v274lsi-pfizer-exposed-for-exploring-mutating-covid-19-virus-for-new-vaccines-via-d.html Pfizer Exposed For Exploring "Mutating" COVID-19 Virus For New Vaccines Via 'Directed Evolution'], Rumble.</ref> there is no Project Veritas without James O'Keefe.<ref>[https://twitter.com/BonginoReport/status/1627756454525431837 Bongino There is no Project Veritas without James O’Keefe], [[Dan Bongino]], Twitter, February 20, 2023.</ref> ==Early lifeBallot harvesting==James Edward On September 27, 2020 O'Keefe III was born of [[Project Veritas]] posted a report on June 28, 1984illegal [[ballot harvesting]] for cash in [[Minnesota]] Rep.

Two Democratic Democrat operatives left their positions after a Project Veritas video showed them discussing their involvement in the 2016 presidential campaign. One of them, Scott Foval, confessed on camera to orchestrating violence at Trump rallies, a strategy he referred to as “conflict engagement." The Wisconsin-based operative also brainstormed ideas for voter fraud with an undercover Project Veritas reporter. “We talk about a lot of things we don't talk about,” Foval said on the tape.<ref>"[https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/10/19/two-democratic-operatives-lose-jobs-after-james-okeefe-sting/ Two Democratic operatives lose jobs after James O’Keefe sting]."</ref> Foval is a contractor for Democracy Partners. Also implicated was Bob Creamer, the founder of this group. Creamer, the husband of a Democratic Democrat Congresswoman, is a felon who has visited the White House hundreds of times.<ref>[https://www.lifezette.com/polizette/democrats-could-be-prosecuted-for-trump-rally-violence/ Democrats could be prosecuted for Trump Rally Violence]"</ref> On the video, Creamer described himself as the person who "oversees" Trump rallies for the Clinton campaign.<ref>[https://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/10/26/robert-creamer-james-okeefe-project-veritas-says-calls-clinton-campaign-every-morning/ Robert Creamer Says He Was on Calls With Clinton Campaign ‘Every Morning’]</ref>

In 2010 California Attorney General [[Jerry Brown ]] (now previously, then later, the Democratic Democrat governor of California) and his Justice Department released a report on ACORN and O'Keefe's video. The department determined that ACORN "failed to recruit, train and monitor its employees to ensure compliance with California law," but found that there was not enough evidence to show "that the ACORN employees in California violated state criminal laws in connection with their conversations with O'Keefe and Giles." Additionally, the department stated falsely claimed that "the video releases by Project Veritas were "heavily edited " to feature only "...the worst or most inappropriate statements of the various ACORN employees and to omit some of the most salient statements by O’Keefe and Giles."<ref>[http://ag.ca.gov/cms_attachments/press/pdfs/n1888_acorn_report.pdf Report of the Attorney General on the Activities of Acorn in California]</ref>

In March 2011, O'Keefe released an undercover video sting of [[National Public Radio ]] (NPR) officials. Men posing as sympathetic [[Muslim]]s attempted to donate $5 million to [[NPR]] executives. On tape, the VP is heard bashing the [[Tea Party movement]] as "racist". This action revealed the partisan nature of the taxpayer-funded media company. The affects effects were immediate, as NPR's President resigned and their VP retired earlysoon after the video release.

The usual [[lamestream liberal media]] cover-up began in defense of [[liberal]] NPR. NPR claims that they knew something was fishy, “we repeatedly refused to accept.” Now O'Keefe is set to release another tape showing not only was that statement false, but NPR offered to hide the funds from showing up in their donor records.<ref>[http://biggovernment.com/publius/2011/03/10/project-veritas-npr-planned-to-accept-donation-from-muslim-brotherhood-front-group-and-hide-origins-from-government/ Project Veritas: NPR Planned to Accept Donation from Muslim Brotherhood Front Group and Hide Origins From Government, BigGovernment.com, March 10, 2011]</ref> O'Keefe did release a second video, which resulted in another NPR official being placed on leave.<ref>https://www.cnn.com/2011/POLITICS/03/11/npr.recording/index.html?hpt=Sbin</ref>

Project Veritas sent its an agent to work undercover as an intern in the American Federation of Teachers' Michigan office. The AFT sued to enjoin Project Veritas from publishing any trade secrets or proprietary information that was taken by the agent. A federal district court judge decided not to grant a permanent injunction against publishing the information, but left Project Veritas open to a lawsuit as soon as the report is made public.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/project-veritas-james-okeefe-accuses-teachers-union-of-horrifying-attack-on-free-speech/article/2644607|title=Project Veritas' James O'Keefe accuses teachers union of 'horrifying attack on free speech'|work=Washington Examiner|date=December 29, 2017|accessdate=December 29, 2017}}</ref> ==Specious Criticisms=="Conservative" Hunter Avallone published a hit piece on James O'Keefe and Project Veritas a few days after attacking many fellow [[conservative]]s for acknowledging that Big Tech is actively engaging in the illegal [[censorship]] of conservative and anti-establishment voices.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLHVCRTdxNc</ref> ==Early life==James Edward O'Keefe III was born on June 28, 1984, to James and Deborah O'Keefe.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=ZzQVpPvlVMcC&pg=PA455 American Dissidents: An Encyclopedia of Activists, Subversives, and Prisoners of Conscience, Volume 1]</ref>
