If I Was O’Keefe…
James O’Keefe was Project Veritas. He has done incredible things. And now, apparently, he is being removed.
But the thing is, the mission Veritas fulfills does not require incredible resources to be successful – it requires good actors, secret cameras, and a few social media accounts. It does not need to be huge, and it can be built around a single quirky personality.
Now that Veritas has thrown him out, O’Keefe can – and should – start all over, with an organization not in thrall to a board of directors that might be hostile to its mission. Worst case: Veritas folds and O’Keefe succeeds. Best case: there are two organizations doing the same thing, and well.
James O’Keefe: go for it!

Apparently, James is a Big Meanie. A millennial or two must have thrown a rod.
A non profit can be controlled without being subject to a rogue board.
And yet still insufficiently cynical.😎
Project Veritas Leadership Releases Statement About James O’Keefe (townhall.com)
The coup is crumbling?
I certainly hope so. It’s about time our side won a round or two.

O’Keefe:
No reason to ever listen to another thing PV says.
I consider this to be a internecine conflict. If Project Veritas continues to do good work without O’Keefe, well and good. O’Keefe will continue to do what he has done before, probably with some people who leave PV to continue to work for him.
Could it be that this is a win, win for conservatives?
BREAKING: Project Veritas Board Releases Statement After Removing James O’Keefe and Losing Over 100,000 Followers | The Gateway Pundit
I’m not sure how to red this, but does this mean PV lost over 132k followers today in one day?
Looks like it, but that also appears to be less than 10%.
So? That’s a lot of people. If you want to minimize it, how many days can they do this?
I unfollowed them.
Obviously, they can only lose that number for 10 days in a row. But why assume it would continue at that rate? I actually wouldn’t be surprised if the number who leave increases for a couple days as more people become aware, but then drops rapidly and their followers reaches a new stable point. Perhaps down 30% or even 50% or more from the original number, but not down 100% even after weeks or months, let alone 10 days.
And if James O’Keefe starts up something new, I expect a sizable number of people will be following both.
O’Keefe went hiking with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. over the weekend. Something is in the works.
