O’Keefe on paid leave from Project Veritas

[GodFearinGunTotin]

Sounds like the board is going to fire him.

Whats the story behind it?

Whats the story behind it?

The way the article reads, sounds like a clash of personalities. It paints O’Keefe as a “power drunk” bully. But that’s only one side of the story.

It's funny how things work. No matter what angle one takes...ideas can catch fire, grow, make money, grow more, make more money, become known and grow more to the point of having the Founder ousted by the board. At one time, the Founder deemed the board necessary in order to bring on investors because he needed capital, or the board was the result of the creation of a corporate structure to insulate the enterprise from taxes because of the amount of money it generated.

So that’s your take? It’s basically his own fault because he is greedy? I was leaning more towards he is exposing things that TPTB don’t want exposed.

So they subverted the organization and waited to possibly oust him. All of the reports from employees of his behavior are just lies planted by TPTB?

Maybe the pressure of being under constant attack has gotten to him, and he really isn't very stable.

PV may not do well without him though. Only time will tell if he is really ousted, and if so, if they will still be viable.

That would be my guess. TPTB got with the bosses and said the guy loses his job or they'll find a way to put them out of business most likely.

Well what are the facts? We can agree he is on leave. That appears factual but the rest of it is someone’s opinion. I’m pretty sure that if properly motivated some of my coworkers would swear I’m a big meanie to. If we have learned anything in the last few years it should be to suspicious of stories like this.

Firing the two C level people is a fact.

Lawsuits from former employees are a fact.

Reports of poor management from current and former employees are more than opinion.

We also shouldn't assume that none of it is true, nor that it is all some conspiracy to get him.

That's no threat. They have already been trying to do that for a while.

Then why be shocked it may have finally worked?

Like any other situation first find out who benefits from veritas’s demise? And I believe it may very well nose dive without him. Be careful with that word “conspiracy” it has a track record of biting people in the ass lately.

When do they turn to the 'sketchy accusations of sexual harassment' page in the Politics of Personal Destruction handbook? Like they've done in the campaign to get rid of Santos

Some of the lessons of Trump should teach us that success despite pressure to conform just brings about made up controversy as an attack from a different vector

I'm not seeing much proof (you know, what was demanded be presented about election fixing) beyond the filing of complaints

That's not to say I don't think that board can be gotten to. See: Glenn Greenwald and The Intercept

I just do not see the leftists I know hand wringing over any of their bat s**t crazy lefty tools. I never hear them pine for purity or perfection even when stupid things are done that are embarrassing to supporters. They just support and keep moving.

Isn't it interesting how the country keeps moving left…

Amazing really…. And sad

I don't know nuthin about nuthin, but the assumption it has to be a leftist plot and that conservatives can't just be a-holes....

I think it's more that the likelihood is greater that it's a Leftist plot. Anyone can be an a-hole, but lately most everything turns out to actually be a Leftist plot.

What facts from inside the Project Veritas do you base that belief upon? I say "inside Project Veritas" because having leftist enemies doesn't mean anything that happens is coming from the left.

Does the board have known leftist infiltrators or influences?
Are the allegations about him made up?
Would what he is alleged to have done get a person fired in an organization without leftist enemies?
Who is making these decisions and what is their background?
etc.

 

[wtburnette]

Wow, slow down dude. I'm not saying it IS a Leftist plot. I'm saying since there are so many Leftists plots coming true lately that it seems likely it could be. Just as likely as not. Maybe not, but I'd play those odds.

How about the egg shortage that looks like it might be due to the feed being used. How about all the poultry, meat and other food processing plants that have burnt down or been closed down? How about yet another baby formula issue? I'm no longer a big believer in coincidence, especially when we have elite Leftwing nutbags talking about how they want us depopluated and those of us left eating bugs in our little "districts" where we live in homes we don't own.
