Report: James O’Keefe on the Verge of Being Ousted From Project Veritas as Board Attempts ‘Hostile Takeover’


James O’Keefe, the founder and chairman of Project Veritas, was put on paid leave from his non-profit journalism enterprise on Wednesday amid what some are calling an attempted “hostile takeover” being executed by certain board members.

The Project Veritas Board of Directors will reportedly decide whether to remove him from his leadership position in a meeting scheduled for Friday.

Project Veritas put out a statement in response to this news Wednesday evening, saying that the board is conducting an “internal evaluation to assure our long term success.”

“Like all newsrooms at this stage, the Project Veritas Board of Directors and Management are constantly evaluating what the best path forward is for the organization,” the statement read. “There are 65+ employees at Project Veritas dedicated to continuing the mission to expose corruption, dishonesty, waste, fraud, and other misconduct in both public and private institutions,” the statement read. “To our supporters: We hear you, we care about you, and we will never give up.”

Earlier Wednesday, according to New York Magazine’s Intelligencer, Veritas’ executive director, Daniel Strack sent an internal message to Project Veritas employees saying that O’Keefe would be taking “a few weeks of well-deserved PTO.”

In the message, Strack reportedly referred to what he called “a distracting time” at the organization and said that a board meeting had been held to discuss “the health of the organization.” Strack added that while “we have not come up with final solutions yet we have made a few immediate decisions.”

Strack was formerly the managing director (MD) at Goldman Sachs, but was ousted after less than three years. He reportedly joined Goldman in 2001, made MD in 2013 and left the company in September of 2016.

According to reports, O’Keefe recently fired two top Project Veritas executives—Chief Strategy Officer (CSO) Barry Hinckley and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Tom O’Hara—due to their alleged insubordination. O’Hara, according to his Project Veritas bio, has over 25 years of experience in business, accounting, financial and reporting operations. He joined the organization in October of 2018.

Hinckley, who has pronouns in his LinkedIn bio, became CSO at Project Veritas in November of 2022.


According to the Intelligencer, the board of directors then voted to rehire the executives, and put O’Keefe on paid leave.

Reportedly, Project Veritas is divided between “a group of employees who are perceived to be loyal to O’Keefe, including his communications adviser, R.C. Maxwell, and the board, which has been dissatisfied with what it perceives as O’Keefe’s mismanagement.”

A letter dated February 6 was circulated at Veritas featuring eleven pages of testimonies from anonymous employees criticizing O’Keefe, with one staffer allegedly calling him a “power-drunk tyrant.”

Hinckley, according to the Intelligencer, later wrote a message to the staff saying he had “stood up to a bully” and had lost his job as a result.

An anonymous source from the pro-O’Keefe camp, shared his version of events with a Veritas insider. The source alleged that Matt Tyrmand, a member of the board, O’Hara, and Hinckley led “a six-and-a-half hour struggle session versus James where they subjected him to...

Smeared By MSNBC For Refusing To Teach Kids To Hate Each Other, Colorado School District Hits Back


After being targeted by a dishonest corporate media smear campaign on behalf of left-wing teachers unions, Colorado’s conservative Woodland Park School Board and parents are fighting back and correcting the record.

Home to Merit Academy, the school chartered by parents for education in valor and responsibility, the Woodland Park School District earned the ire of the propaganda press after it decided against using Ta-Nehisi Coates’ book “Between the World and Me” in its teaching. The book, district leaders said, violated state and local social study standards, which aim to teach kids “so they may become worthy of their ancestors by becoming full members of the American republic … self-reliant citizens who respect the dignity and the rights of their fellow Americans, who love their country, and who cherish our liberties and our laws.”



These standards, of course, cut against left-wing narratives, so MSNBC’s Chris Hayes aimed his fire at the conservative district last week. “Even in states that aren’t laying down edicts about teaching about race, local school boards are pursuing that agenda,” Hayes said, “like in Woodland Park, Colorado, where a school board member grilled a high school teacher about one of the texts taught in a history elective.”

Hayes was referring to a board meeting on Jan. 25 during which the school district’s Vice President Dave Illingworth interviewed an applicant for an empty board position, quoting from Coates’ book and asking the interviewee if he agreed:


In his 2015 book ‘Between the World and Me,’ Ta-Nehisi Coates writes, among other things, ‘The power of domination and exclusion is central to the belief in being white, and without it, white people would cease to exist.’ My question to you: Do you agree with this teaching? Would it be appropriate or even lawful to teach a child to view a person as inherently bad or dangerous simply because of the color of their skin?

“I wasn’t grilling a teacher,” Illingworth told The Federalist. “I was talking to somebody who had applied to serve on the Board of Education.”

But that was just the beginning of the media’s lies.

More concerned with furthering left-wing narratives than getting the facts right, Hayes invited Coates to defend his book unopposed on live television. Illingworth, of course, wasn’t invited — but he and other Woodland Park parents and leaders aren’t letting the smears slide.

Lie #1: Woodland Park Wants to Indoctrinate Kids


While the MSNBC host claimed that removing Coates’ book from Woodland Park curriculum was meant to suppress black history, Illingworth rejects that assertion.

“It wasn’t that the book was removed from classrooms or removed from the library or any sort of order went out … to discourage people from reading or anything like that,” Illingworth said. “It just wasn’t a good fit for the standards that were adopted.”

In accordance with the aforementioned American Birthright Social Studies (ABSS) standards — which Woodland Park adopted in addition to state requirements and which require social studies to cultivate love, not hate, for their country, and respect for their fellow Americans, not disdain for them based on the color of their skin — WPSD Superintendent Ken Witt deemed Coates’ book noncompliant.


“It is incumbent on educators to use thoughtful review in selecting curriculum materials, and on the district in approving them,” Witt said. “This informs our civics curriculum choices.”

“My main criteria on those standards is: Is it going to allow us to improve the way that we teach history, civics, social studies, to our kids, the complete truth, warts and all?” Illingworth said. “I believe, and it’s the belief of many others who have looked at these standards, that yes, it will allow us to do that.”

Lie #2: Coates’ Book Doesn’t Teach Hate


During his MSNBC interview with Hayes, Coates argued that his condemnation is not against white people but against “white” as a category. But whether Coates condemns “white people” or “whiteness,” the effect is the same, and Illingworth says Coates used “a friendly forum with Chris Hayes” to “strawman” the values of Woodland Park, which has committed to teaching history as it is: a web of complex issues that...

5 Things To Do Other Than Watch The Superbowl:


Work Out:
Working Out is good for your health, your well being, and your sex life. This is a great time to catch up on your pushups, pullups, crunches and lunges.

Check Your Preps:

Inventory, update and improve on your TEOTWAWKI Preps. Check out your expiration dates and try to use expiring products and make a list of what you need to buy. How are your water purification preps? Air masks?


Catch Up on Sleep:

When was the last time you went to bed early and got a full eight hours sleep? Take a long, hot shower, leave the phone and tablet in the other room, and smile as you lie down to sleep knowing that Crooked Hillary Clinton will never be president.

Go to a Park:

Take your children or just yourself for a hike on local trails or watch your kids as they swing and slide at the neighborhood playground. Take some family members along and bond with the kids. Stop for pizza or ice cream on your way home. Fresh air and exercise will send everybody to bed at an early hour.

Clean Out the Garage:

Or the attic, junk drawer or email inbox. You have plenty of empty hours to fill on Super Bowl Day. Even the undisciplined end up with plenty of free time and no excuse to avoid tackling overdue chores.
