FEAR FROM NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS ON THE BORDER

When the illegal immigrant asked where the Mexican men dressed in military attire associated with the No Mas Muertes nonprofit were from, one responded, “From Sonora,” while another was from Tijuana – notorious Mexican cartel hotbeds. “I have a friend coming soon. He will take you to the city,” said one of the cartel-appearing men. “How much does he charge?” asked the illegal immigrant. “$300,” responded one of the cartel-appearing men. Hours later, these cartel-appearing men pointed guns at the illegal immigrant.

In the middle of the Arizona desert over 60 miles southwest of Tucson, O’Keefe Media Group (“OMG”) risked their lives to investigate the shady activity of No Mas Muertes, or No More Deaths, a nonprofit organization claiming to provide humanitarian aid to illegal immigrants but has been raided by US law enforcement and whose members have been arrested by border patrol numerous times. Posing as donors and land surveyors, and with the help of an illegal immigrant working undercover, OMG recordings show this nonprofit repeating “we are a little paranoid,” refusing to state their names, voicing hostility towards law enforcement, interrogating the undercover illegal immigrant “Why don’t you ask for asylum? Why don’t you ask border patrol for asylum?” and offering to transport the undercover illegal immigrant for $300 cash before pointing guns at him – actions related more to a human trafficking operation than a humanitarian nonprofit.

No Mas Muertes workers refusing to provide their names or identifications stating: “You also don’t need the mask. I only put it on when the military shows up or when those white people show up, so they won’t take my picture” flies in the face of No More Deaths’ obligations as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization to follow the law. Instead, it seems to skirt immigration laws and traffic humans. OMG’s exposé of secret illegal immigrant compounds funded by Catholic Community Services of Tucson coupled with this undercover footage of No More Deaths reveals the shocking proliferation of private tax-exempt nonprofit organizations working with the government or potentially dangerous cartels to engage in what amounts to human trafficking into the United States under the guise of humanitarian aid, without any scrutiny or accountability.

Off the outskirts of the tiny town of Arivaca 40 minutes on a dirt road from Interstate 15 at 36455 S Papalote Wash Road, several people wearing construction vests planted flags into the ground as land surveyors would before being approached by someone who told them to leave: “Hey guys, this is private property.” These people were not, in fact, surveyors. They were James O'Keefe and members of his OMG team, equipped with hidden cameras to investigate the rise in suspicious nonprofit organizations operating at the U.S.–Mexico border. The team was outside the secretive location of No Mas Muertes, or No More Deaths.

Couched as a ministry of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Tucson, whose tag line is “a liberal light in the desert,” No More Deaths appears to use its relationship to Unitarian Universalist Church of Tucson to evade filing IRS documents of financial transparency (IRS Form 990) under an IRS exemption for religious organizations. After confirming the location was No More Deaths property, an OMG team member posing as a donor called Mary Weiss, an administrator for the Unitarian Universalist Church of Tucson. On the call, Weiss represented No More Deaths was an “organization we actually partner with,” as “a ministry of the church,” located in Arivaca with a staff of 4-5 employees and budget of $400 Thousand.

As the OMG team continued planting flags around the perimeter of the property, they sent a volunteer illegal immigrant with a hidden camera to observe No More Deaths from the inside. No More Deaths workers welcomed OMG undercover illegal immigrant and explained how they...

@OKeefeMediaGroup

Upon the OMG team leaving the area, No More Deaths workers intercepted their car and questioned them. After O’Keefe mentioned the Unitarian Universalist Church and No More Deaths, the No More Deaths workers denied knowing either organization and never provided their names.

Back at the “humanitarian” camp, two men dressed in military garb like Mexican-cartel members interrogated Carlos. Where was he from? Where had he crossed the border? Who brought him? How much money had it taken for him to get there? Why hadn’t he applied for asylum? Did his watch have a camera in it? Ultimately, they offered to find someone to take Carlos to Phoenix...for $300. Carlos eventually reunited with the OMG team, but not before having guns frighteningly pointed at him at “humanitarian” No More Deaths camp.

That night in the desert raised more questions than it provided answers. Why is a humanitarian nonprofit adverse to border patrol (and white people)? Why does a humanitarian nonprofit have armed cartel-like men offering for-profit services? How does an organization which routinely violates the law keep its tax-exempt status? OMG’s investigation into No More Deaths reveals the growing abuse of nonprofit laws by organizations hiding under the cloak of religious affiliation to further the stated international agenda of open borders over that of national sovereignty while profiting off human trafficking. One thing is clear – men are armed, tensions are high, and fear and false faith organizations are running unfettered, making the border more dangerous than the Wild West was in the days of the Alamo.

And see it you will, 4pm - 6pm, every Wednesday, “ON THE INSIDE w/ James O’Keefe…Tune in then…

Then in a late May board meeting, a day after Dan Strack quit, there was a stand-off where staff demanded Matt Tyrmand resign after he said he wanted to “carve out James heart and eat it in front of him.” I have a recording of that meeting and have not released it. George Skakel, previously an ally of Tyrmand, wrote a letter demanding Tyrmand resign or be fired. Tyrmand resigned in July and promised that dirt on James O’Keefe would come out to the media. Under his brief leadership, Matt Tyrmand managed to burn through $10 million I raised before I was fired. After I left, almost nothing was raised and donors demanded their money back. Matt also hired a new CEO who fired the entire staff before she, too, quit.

Coincidentally, there was a police report filed over stolen checks around the time that happened, and people are still trying to get to the bottom fo that.

Over the last year, Matt Tyrmand has sent pornographic posts and sexually harassing text messages that are so obscene I can’t post them or describe them here without the risk of being banned on this platform. I still do not understand the reason a person would be compelled to do that.

Matt Tyrmand’s initial strategy when asked by people what he was thinking, was the somewhat effective “Adam Schiff approach” -“James has done something very bad, but I can’t tell you what it is. It will come out later.” This approach was used on Trump regarding Russia by Congressman Schiff. In my case it worked on some people until they became wise to the fact Matt had already released everything he had. Whatever he knew, he would leak and share immediately. To this day, the standard response from those responsible for the destruction of Project Veritas is, “You don’t know what you’re talking about.” When asked what they mean, no new justification or evidence is given. All that is provided are insults, pornographic images, and slurs. I have hundreds of these communications saved from some former employees and board members who often use anonymous phone numbers and X accounts.

I get asked every day why all of this happened.

Simply…Why?

Seven years ago, an advisor closely witnessed Matt Tyrmand’s behavior alongside me while we were together on his boat. The advisor pulled me aside one day and quietly warned me that Tyrmand “wants to be you, James. He’s jealous of you.” Looking back, I was oblivious to it, and the events described above would have been utterly inconceivable in my own mind back then. Again, I was raised to believe in the best in people. Someone taking a more Hobbesian approach to human nature would not have founded Project Veritas and would not have chosen my path.

The lesson here is how jealousy and envy can completely destroy a man in the worst way and can destroy organizations, and even movements. It is a disease in our politics, our institutions, our economics and in our humanity. Envy is the root of all socialism. Envy has led to death and destruction throughout the 20th century. Envy is inherent in human nature, and one of the very things we are fighting against.

It is a spiritual battle, a tale as old as time.

Tonight being the anniversary of that fateful board meeting when I was escorted out of the building in tears; a building that my sister, an architect, helped me construct and design back in 2015. A building that was flooded and destroyed, and had to be rebuilt again back in 2021 in the face of constant defamation, raids, and lawsuits. Things can be destroyed in a moment. It takes so much time to build.

But I am grateful to have the overwhelming toxicity removed completely from my life. The cancer is all gone. I am liberated now. My greatest mistake was not firing Dan Strack immediately when he told me in the Summer of 2022 that he would not follow my lead. I commit to you, my audience, that I will never make that mistake again.

There is more to say, but at the moment I have more pressing things to do - like produce our story for Wednesday about yet another institution we infiltrated. Footage you wouldn’t believe unless you saw.

Today is the one-year anniversary of Matt Tyrmand and his friend Dan Strack leading a 6-hour Maoist “struggle session”-style board meeting flogging me for taking SUVs to meetings, stealing pregnant lady’s sandwiches, and amongst other things, claiming I’m a bad leader. I have a recording of that meeting that I never released.

Matt Tyrmand said Project Veritas didn’t need James O’Keefe anymore and would be fine without him. That, along with his statement “You didn’t build that, your employees did” sounded right out of the Labor theory of value, one of the pillars of Marxism. He seemed to want the farm without the farmer or the golden eggs without the goose that produced them. This appears to be a common problem with nonprofits in general. Nobody owns anything; therefore, no good deed goes unpunished - if you have the wrong people involved.

My main concern in the board meeting one year ago tonight while I sat there quietly being flogged for hours, was indemnifying our journalists because I knew the organization would run out of money if they voted me out. That action would leave our journalists, who needed defending, hung out to dry. The ongoing lawsuits affected 1st and 4th Amendment principles, particularly unconstitutional FBI raids and accompanying search warrants. I never settle lawsuits on principle, because I refuse to bear false witness on the 1st amendment and choose the highly difficult, expensive route of dying on every 1st amendment hill. The only way I can do this is by making the final decisions related to raising and apportioning money to litigation. Our cases remain in the circuit courts with some inevitably bound for the Supreme Court. Since making these final decisions and having the backs of our journalists is central to the sanctity and integrity of the journalism itself, my journalism and being the CEO and final decision-maker are inextricably linked.

So, I had no choice but to ask the board to resign. They refused. They also refused to consider, or even fathom, the indemnification issue. The “struggle session” indicated they weren’t even interested in having a dialogue. They informed me I needed to take my lashings and feel remorseful. The entire board eventually resigned months later anyway, after they spent millions of dollars and were running out of money. It wasn’t until then that they started to confront the indemnification issue (you can ignore reality but you can’t ignore the consequences of ignoring reality), and began to send out emails asking their audience to pay the legal bills of those raided. Then, to the shock of the few remaining Project Veritas staff, leadership used what little money they raised off the fundraising emails, not to support legal defense, but to pay themselves. This irresponsible conduct was so unconscionable it led to the resignation of their own lawyer.

I then had the impossible task ahead of somehow raising funds to pay Project Veritas journalists’ legal bills after being fired, while starting a new venture (OMG - O’Keefe Media Group) from scratch and with absolutely no infrastructure. If that wasn’t impossible enough, Project Veritas - the company I founded, then sued me and asked a Federal Judge in New York to issue an injunction to stop me from working. Now things started to seem demonic.

All of this led most of Project Veritas’ donors and audience to believe the worst-case scenario - that people were compromised, pinched, or worse. While that is certainly possible, I don’t know that to be true. Although the timing did provide undeniable circumstantial evidence. What did Matt Tyrmand, Dan Strack, George Skakel, John Garvey and Joe Barton think people would were going to assume after taking such a drastic action of ‘indefinitely suspending” James O’Keefe only a week after the Pfizer story?

Donors and the audience were going to conclude that the Project Veritas Board was evil, stupid, or compromised.

SPACES starting in 10 minutes and going until 6pm ET to discuss the latest bombshell…

People familiar with the story coming out tomorrow keep texting me, asking me about fear. I’ve taken the time to write a careful response.

At 39, I’ve lived a good life. Whether it’s complete or not is not up to me. What happens next, I don’t know. If there’s more to come here, so be it. I’ve learned the pursuit of truth requires extreme risk while operating without a safety net. I’ve experienced so much. I’ve lived ten lives compressed into a fraction of one.

That’s all that a man can hope for. Meteoric highs, extreme lows, and near-death experiences, Jail and jury trials, travels to every state dozens of times, adventures, travails, failures, betrayals, and loves lost and gained, repeated valleys, moving and climbing mountains, enduring multiple rebirths and renewals. 

What I learned is written in three books, particularly American Muckraker, and filmed masterclasses, released and unreleased. 

I’ve received love from a balanced family with honest parents and sincere grandparents who raised me to have a manically driven work ethic, all while believing in the best in people. From my vantage point, that last thing is on the verge of extinction unless things fundamentally change. 

I built a good organization from nothing, which did good things. I’m taking lessons from the first company and building a better one from nothing, which I know will do more extraordinary things.

Challenging Leviathan itself is hard enough.

Leviathan doesn’t like being challenged. But as nearly impossible as that is, the enemy and its injustice is no longer what bothers me. An enemy can’t betray you. Only people you think are good can do that. 

It has been an indescribable hell on earth for me to witness people go against everything they claim to believe in - everything good and right, in service to their love of money and power. I’ve witnessed envy destroy people whose hearts I thought I knew. I’ve seen an unhealthy obsession with comfort and safety from countless others. These weaknesses stand between us and what we’re “up against.”

Which leads me to the video I’m about to release. 

I’m not suicidal, but I’m also not afraid to die.

Now, I’m indifferent to the outcome and frankly numb to the consequences of truth-telling. I’ve adapted to faith over fear.

The mission is to discover other people whose principles are not for sale — who will do the right thing rather than talk about doing the right thing. I’m tired of seeing 10s of thousands of people sliding into my DMs complaining to my team about how bad things are… and then they make excuses or do nothing.

I’m tired, Boss.

So here I stand; I can do no other. As has been said, “If they’re gonna kill me, they’re going to kill me.” Let’s do this. Let’s get 2024 started. Let’s inspire others to be brave. Let’s raise the stakes. Let’s expose them all!

In Truth,
James

Put this and Kari Lake bribery tape together and you can see why the party insiders hate someone from the outside they can’t control...

@OKeefeMediaGroup

We just got footage that’s impossible to overstate. It may be what blows the whole thing open.

I think it’s time to raise the stakes.
