James O'Keefe

James Edward O'Keefe III (born June 28, 1984) is an American political activist who founded Project Veritas, a far-right activist group that uses deceptively edited videos and information gathering techniques to attack mainstream media organizations and progressive groups. Both O'Keefe and Project Veritas have produced secretly recorded undercover audio and video encounters in academic, governmental, and social service organizations, purporting to show abusive or illegal behavior by representatives of those organizations; the recordings are often selectively edited to misrepresent the context of the conversations and the subjects' responses. O'Keefe served as chairman until he was fired from the organization in February 2023.

O'Keefe first gained national attention for his selectively edited video recordings of workers at Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) offices in 2009, his arrest and misdemeanor guilty plea in 2010 for entering the federal office of then-U.S. senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA) under false pretenses, and the release of misleading videos of conversations with two high-ranking, now former, NPR executives in 2011.

When his videos – heavily edited to portray ACORN workers seemingly aiding a couple in criminal planning – were publicized, the U.S. Congress voted to freeze funds for the non-profit. The national controversy resulted in the non-profit also losing most of its private funding before investigations of the videos concluded no illegal activity occurred. In March 2010, ACORN was close to bankruptcy and had to close or rename most of its offices. Shortly thereafter, the California State Attorney General's Office and the US Government Accountability Office (GAO) released their related investigative reports. The Attorney General's Office found that O'Keefe had misrepresented the actions of ACORN workers in California and that the workers had not broken any laws. A preliminary probe by the GAO found that ACORN had managed its federal funds appropriately. One of the fired ACORN workers sued O'Keefe for invasion of privacy; O'Keefe issued an apology and agreed to pay $100,000 in a settlement.

O'Keefe has gained support from right-wing and conservative media and interest groups, as well as from the far right. In 2009, Andrew Breitbart commissioned him for the option to publish new videos exclusively on BigGovernment.

The Project Veritas board removed O'Keefe from leadership positions in February 2023 for what it said was financial malfeasance with donor money. On March 15, 2023, O'Keefe launched a new organization called O'Keefe Media Group. Project Veritas subsequently sued O'Keefe and two others, alleging that they had created the competing O'Keefe Media Group while still employees, approaching PV's donors and using company funds for this purpose. O'Keefe was also alleged to have improperly spent company funds on himself.

THE PRESS:HOW TO USE IT OR LOSE IT

Date: 28 June 1984

By Charles Mohr

Charles Mohr

Journalism, which is accustomed to dishing it out, was a serious preoccupation here this week at two conferences that seemed to underline a love-hate relationship between the news business and conservative groups. In each case, it seemed, the group felt wronged by journalists but admitted it would dearly like to use them as an educational tool. At one conference, ''The Conservative Movement and the Media,'' sponsored today by the National Conservative Foundation, conflicting advice was given out on how to deal with the ''liberal news media.'' Some recommended a friendly approach and others suggested scaling journalism's walls to wage war.

SOVIET DERIDES REAGAN SPEECH AS ELECTION ORATORY

Date: 29 June 1984

By Seth Mydans

The Soviet press today derided President Reagan's call for improved economic, cultural, scientific and consular ties as a campaign gimmick. It said he was trying to shirk responsibility for a serious deterioration in relations between Moscow and Washington. Tass, the official press agency, said Mr. Reagan's speech Wednesday to specialists in United States-Soviet relations was just ''another election maneuver.''

ADVERTISING ; Magazine Is Offering A Discount

IN an effort to attract regular magazine advertising and not just the kind that carries coupons, CBS Publications' Family Weekly newspaper supplement has worked up an advertising discount program with its sister publication Woman's Day that will give advertisers in that magazine at least 25 percent off in the supplement. It is the latest ploy developed by Patrick M. Linskey, Family Weekly's publisher for the last couple of years, to offset some adverse marketplace developments. Not only his publication but Parade, the dominant Sunday supplement, are down in advertising pages and revenues for the first quarter. When put in a ranking of magazines, Parade is the country's largest in circulation and Family Weekly is fourth.

Eight crewmen were killed and three seriously hurt in the Iraqi missile attack on a Swiss-owned supertanker Wednesday, the ship's owners said today. It was second such fatal incident in the Persian Gulf war. The only previous reported loss of life occurred June 3 when Turkey said three Turkish seamen were killed in an Iraqi missile attack on a Turkish tanker, the Buyuk Hun. Iraq and Iran first extended their ground war, which began in September 1980, to attacks on gulf shipping earlier this year, beginning attacks on tankers taking on oil there.

BISHOP AND LAWMAKER DEBATE NUCLEAR ARMS

Date: 28 June 1984

By Richard Halloran

Richard Halloran

In a spirited exchange over the morality of nuclear arms, the churchman and the Congressman narrowed the issues this week but never came to an agreement. Archbishop John J. O'Connor of New York said that in the most remote and carefully defined circumstances, it might be ''conceivable'' that firing a nuclear weapon would be morally acceptable. But he said he doubted the conditions he described could ever be met. Representative Henry J. Hyde, Republican of Illinois, asserted that the teachings of the nation's Roman Catholic bishops, as expressed in their pastoral letter on nuclear war, would make it impossible ever to fire a nuclear weapon and thus might leave the nation defenseless.

AMID CONGRESS DEBATE, NAVY GETS CRUISE MISSILES

The Defense Department announced today that the first long-range nuclear cruise missiles had been deployed on Navy ships in recent days. The deployment comes at a time when the missiles, known as the Tomahawks, are a subject of debate in Congress. A Senate-House conference is trying to reconcile differences on deployment as part of the 1985 military budget authorization bill. Two Republican Senators who led the campaign against deployment, Charles McC. Mathias Jr. of Maryland and David Durenberger of Minnesota, said the Administration had shown ''bad judgment, if not a breach of faith,'' in deploying while Congress was still deliberating the issue.

AIR FORCE SEEKING A SHUTTLE BACKUP

The space shuttle Discovery will probably be grounded for at least three more weeks. Page A18. WASHINGTON, June 27 - The Air Force, which had been gradually eliminating its own space booster rockets and relying on the space shuttle to place military satellites in orbit, has now begun to backtrack because of disappointment in the shuttle's performance. The Air Force began campaigning in Congress several months ago for funds to begin developing a fleet of 10 new expendable rockets as a supplement to the space shuttle. The new rockets would be used to carry large military satellites into orbits as high as 23,000 miles above the earth, a feat that lies beyond the Air Force rockets being phased out.

SOVIET LINKS:REAGAN SHIFT

Date: 28 June 1984

By Bernard Gwertzman

Bernard Gwertzman

Although President Reagan said today that the United States had not forgotten Afghanistan, his speech signaled his inclination to end most of the sanctions imposed by Washington after the Soviet Union sent 100,000 troops into Afghanistan in December 1979. ''This kicks off a new era, considering where this Administration was,'' a State Department official said. ''They've come around 180 degrees.'' Another official said it was ironic that President Carter, who came to office without any anti-Soviet bias, ran for re- election in 1980 after having virtually cut off all high-level contacts with Moscow. Mr. Reagan, known for his strong anti-Soviet views, will now be campaigning for re-election offering to put new life into most of the accords worked out by President Nixon and Henry A. Kissinger during the period of detente. But some White House and State Department officials, who were instrumental in bringing about the shift in Mr. Reagan's approach, said that they were concerned that the sharp, almost obligatory anti-Soviet remarks that Mr. Reagan included in the speech might limit receptivity for the concessions in Moscow.

REAGAN OUTLINES STEPS TO IMPROVE TIES WITH MOSCOW

Excerpts from remarks, page A12. WASHINGTON, June 27 - President Reagan said today that the United States was working to strengthen economic, cultural, scientific, consular and other contacts with the Soviet Union while reserving the right to denounce any Soviet actions that ''threaten the peace.'' In a speech to specialists on Soviet-United States exchanges, Mr. Reagan reviewed a long list of subjects that he said were under discussion with Moscow, despite the suspension of nuclear weapons talks in Geneva. ''I don't think there is anything we're encouraging the Soviet leaders to do that is not as much in their interest as it is in ours,'' he said. ''If they're as committed to peace as they say, they should join us and work with us.
