Thanks northland. That makes O'Keefe sound like a real piece a crap. I'm so surprised!

And there we are. This "501(3)(c) non-profit" corp bilks millions and doing zero for the public good. $430k/year salary--- MAJOR GRIFT. Maybe the IRS needs to fix their rules.

Project Veritas has a lovely 2-star (out of 4) rating on Charity Navigator. Their admin expense is an ugly 25%. Ideally, it should be no higher than 8%. His salary is over 3% of the total expenses. This is 3% of the total revenue.
Some CEOs of charities make a whole bunch more but it is still under 1% of total expenses and their admin expenses are below 8%.
Here is the Charity Navigator report on Project Veritas. IRS ended up really behind on the updating of 990s during the Trump term so the data is behind.

Project Veritas mission is to investigate and expose corruption, dishonesty, self-dealing, waste, fraud, and other misconduct in both public and private institutions in order to achieve a more ethical and transparent society. We launch an investigation with the placement of our undercover journalists. The rollout of our findings creates a growing and uncontainable firestorm of press coverage. Corruption is exposed, leaders resign, and organizations are shut down. We get immediate, measurable and impactful results, and our return on investment is unparalleled. Our goal is to inform the public of wrongdoing and allow the public to make judgments on the issues.

Let’s talk soon and I’ll lay out a plan, contingent also on finding a fair resolution to the James O’Keefe saga.

I had a look at the National Pulse and its pretty much a Right Wing pro Russia Page.
Example of a headline on the page right now - "Docs Warn Migrants Bring Tuberculosis, Hepatitis, Measles, & Syphilis Over Border." Sounds like a good night in Vegas.

So in short pretty much a good fit for Veritas. The implication that everyone at Veritas was fired might mean that they want to use the name as a fake source for their articles.Overall, we rate The National Pulse Questionable based on extreme right-wing bias, promotion of propaganda and conspiracy theories, affiliation with a known questionable group, and several failed fact checks.

I found I had already blocked "Raheem." He's an originator or spreader of blatant disinformation, the kind of stuff you might have seen in The National Enquirer with a slight gloss of pseudo journalism.

Ex-Project Veritas Staffer Claims James O’Keefe’s Party Guests Pooped on the Floor

Ex-Project Veritas Staffer Claims James O’Keefe’s Party Guests Pooped on the Floor
As an administrative assistant for the conservative undercover group Project Veritas, Antoinetta Zappier had some unusual responsibilities. She claims she would be woken up in the middle of the night because Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe had lost his apartment keys, or asked to fake O’Keefe’s signature onto thousands of copies of his book, after donors had paid $200 each to receive “signed” copies.
And then, there was the time, Zappier says, she had to buy supplies to clean up a boat after partygoers at an event hosted by O’Keefe relieved themselves on the floor.
In a lawsuit filed Sunday, Zappier alleges that her duties for Project Veritas extended to a particularly debauched boat party for Young Republicans. After buying hundreds of dollars worth of alcohol for the party, Zappier alleges, she was left frantically purchasing cleaning supplies when attendees “defecated on the floor.”

Even when I lived at the nude beach on Russian River in '73 with a bunch of hippies, bikers, and panhandlers, the one rule we all insisted on was, bury your poop. Otherwise you got insects and disease and godonlyknowswhatelse. Even the dog owners buried the dog poop. We had a ragtag bunch of guys named Tex and Nevada and like that, and we were all drunks and stoners, but we kept a clean camp all summer. I never did get ill that summer.
But Republicans ... yeah. They poop on the floor in their own houses.

Sounds like, if this report is based on the actual situation, that PV is in financial trouble:

“The bills that are owed and everything, and there’s lawyers threatening to like, to force us into bankruptcy, and come take all this stuff,” Giles said. “So, I do not want us, I do not want to declare bankruptcy or go into bankruptcy, but we have to imagine that’s where we’re at so how do we get to the point where we’re clawing our way out of that situation?”
“So, we’re under water?” one staffer asked. Giles responded: “Yeah.”
Many giggles.

Approved.
BREAKING: Project Veritas suspends all operations effective immediately.
CEO @HannahMGiles
and Jen Kiyak of Human Resources cite financial ruin as reason for additional layoffs on 9/20/23 leaving merely a handful of employees left.
All investigations halted as of today.

When Cockburn arrived at 1599 North Colonial Terrace, he saw some staples of the now-frequent Burkman-Wohl press conference: a TV screen presenting this week’s accusation, a stack of Dunkin Donuts for the attending press, and a bodyguard posted by the podium.
