Investigative reporter James O’Keefe of the O’Keefe Media Group (OMG) obtained unclassified information from the U.S. Army North Division revealing that Tren de Aragua (TdA), one of Venezuela’s largest criminal organizations, is spreading its tentacles by establishing a presence in Brooklyn, the Bronx and Williamsburg, all cities in and around New York City.

There are approximately 400 TdA members living in the Big Apple at the current time while many others from the same gang “have been given a ‘green light’ to fire on or attack law enforcement” in and around Denver.

According to reports, TdA is using advanced technology and surveillance to perform its dirty deeds. The threat is so severe that U.S. military personnel and law enforcement are coordinating to protect against any further expansion of this threat.

Around New York City, National Guardsmen have been setting up at subway stations to prevent violent incidents involving TdA, this after gang members attacked an Aurora apartment complex back in late August.

Biden, Kamala staged largest migrant invasion America has ever seen

None of this would have been possible were it not for the diligent efforts of Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and Alejandro Mayorkas to keep America’s southern border as wide open as possible.

Since taking office in early 2021, Biden oversaw the largest migrant invasion America has ever seen, this while he mostly vacationed at Rehoboth Beach, Del., with his family and protective detail.

Tens of millions of illegal migrants are now roving the streets of America in search of prosperity, which means American citizens have their job cut out for them trying to preserve their country from being laid to waste by the plague.

Many once-peaceful cities are being flooded with migrants, as is the Permian Basin, America’s largest oil field, located in Texas. Armed Venezuelan gangs are said to be terrorizing the Permian Basin, putting America’s critical energy infrastructure at risk.

Kamala, Biden’s border czar, lied to Americans when she promised that none of these illegals are committing crimes:

“If you pay cartels for protection and one of their rivals comes over and tries to take from you, they will kill them,” one commenter wrote. “That’s far better protection service than the government has been providing.”

“The vast majority of the illegals are not the enemy,” suggested another. “Some are though, as in this case.”

“All in all, however, ALL of the illegals are the weapon being used by the enemy of the people. That enemy then is clearly the politicians who enable and orchestrate the operations. Time to address the enemy.”

Others echoed this sentiment, adding that Biden and Kamala paid to have many of these illegals sent to towns and cities across the U.S., bringing them right into our local communities.

With multiple hidden cameras running, Kraiger told O’Keefe some very juicy details about the current administration. As O’Keefe noted on his X account:

Top White House Cyber Official tells O’Keefe in Disguise “they can’t say it publicly” the White House wants to replace Kamala Harris and Confirms President @JoeBiden mental decline: “Biden is definitely slowing down.”

“I’m just telling you what I’ve heard… they’re really concerned about it” …“I think they need to get rid of him or her.”

“But no one in modern history has ever said, like, ‘We’re not going to renominate the president for a second term.’”

Charlie Kraiger @CharlieKraiger, a Cybersecurity policy analyst and Foreign affairs Desk Officer in the Executive Office at the White House, tells O’Keefe “I had a meeting with Michelle Obama … Someone asked her, ‘Will you ever run for office?’ And she said, ‘No’ Emphatically.” She was like, ‘I’ve seen all this s*** my husband has had to go through and that does not interest me.’

“Kamala Harris hemorrhages black staff. She can’t keep black staff. They quit on her en masse”

“She will be the vice president nominee. There was a debate about removing her from the ticket, but sadly they didn’t, she’s not popular, but you can’t remove the first black lady to be vice president from the Goddamn presidential ticket. Like what kind of message are you going to send to like African-American voters… People would be like, ‘What the f***?” Like she’s a woman and she’s multiracial.’”

Wow. Watch:

This is why it took me aback when I read a message he posted on social media over the weekend. It wasn’t a bombshell secret he discovered or a rant about any of the various evil entities he has exposed. It was a warning intended for all of us. And as I noted in reply, it’s the most important message he’s ever delivered.

Evil is coming for all of us. Nobody is immune and nobody will come out unscathed.

In the fight against powers and principalities, the weak ones will bend a knee and lie in order to ‘survive.’

The strong ones with morals who adhere to truth and trust God will persevere.

This is the most important message you've ever delivered, which is saying a lot.

— JD Rucker (@JDRucker) September 24, 2023

The Powers and Principalities that many of us often discuss were brought to light in Ephesians 6:12:

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

The forces of the adversary are all around us, but they are most prevalent in the various halls of power across this planet. From high-ranking government officials to corporate CEOs to the mega-rich activists funding the globalist elite cabal, the minions of Satan are driving this world toward its fiery conclusion. This is both terrifying and wonderful to understand. It’s terrifying for those who are aware of our trajectory as a society, but it can be wonderful (and still sometimes terrifying) to Bible-believing Christians who appreciate the implications.

The end may be near, but we must never stop fighting the good fight.

My one extended conversation with O’Keefe was both infuriating and insightful. His reputation of being a bit prickly is well-deserved, but his mind is sharp and his devotion to the truth is unmatched. I’m more impressed now as he delivers this important message. Hopefully he and others will continue sharing the realities of this world because we need as many people as possible to wake up and realize the adversary is coming after us all.

There is only One who deserves our bent knee. The adversary and his minions deserve nothing from us but the sword.

What do you think? Join the conversation about this story on my Substack.

Following stunning admissions on undercover video by a recruiter for the most powerful asset management group on the planet, O’Keefe’s video and website were hit with DDoS attacks and their tip email address was flooded.

These type of attacks, which have been mostly used in the past to attack government bodies and large corporations, was turned against the citizen journalist group O’Keefe formed following his removal from Project Veritas. It doesn’t fit the modus operandi of known hacker groups. Is this retribution from proxies of or mercenaries for BlackRock itself?

This story is developing. We will keep close tabs on it and update the story when necessary.

Hell has frozen over.

O’Keefe posted about the amicus brief sent to federal court urging them the 1st Amendment rights of reporters are protected.

Following the 2021 raids, the ACLU condemned the actions while also taking swipes at O’Keefe and Project Veritas. This new filing is far more absolute in their understanding of the 1st Amendment rights held by O’Keefe et al.

Journalists are allowed to published stolen documents as long as they were not involved in the theft, as O’Keefe and the ACLU have highlighted.

According to FISM.tv:

During the early hours of Nov. 6 the FBI barged into O’Keefe’s apartment in Mamaroneck, New York, where they proceeded to search the residence for over two hours and ultimately seized two of his phones.

The FBI investigation into Veritas, centers around a diary belonging to Joe Biden’s daughter, Ashley Biden, which the organization purchased the publishing rights of from a tipster. Veritas eventually turned the diary into law enforcement after they were unable to verify its contents.

The Biden DOJ had good reason to want to keep the diary under wraps. It revealed plenty about Joe Biden, not only as a bad father but as a child sex offender. It was in her diary that Ashley Biden mentioned, “showers w/ my dad (probably not appropriate).”

That’s according to a video released by O’Keefe Media Group, which dispatched an undercover reporter to talk to – and record – special assistant Luke Borwegan, whose assignment, he says, is basically to be between Fetterman and other staff members.

Borwegan is the aide who carries around an iPad programmed to transcribe audio – so the senator can read what others say.

It’s one of the multiple issues that have arisen since Fetterman suffered a stroke during his campaign.

“You’re not quoting me,” Borwegan warns during the interview.

He describes how Fetterman, who he reports owns multiple guns himself, would “like probably” be comfortable with “overturning the Second Amendment.”

“He’s 100% for gun control … banning automatic rifles … red flag laws,” Borwegan explains. “He owns like a lot of guns.”

“Assault weapons. He’d be okay with overturning the Second Amendment probably, so nobody has guns at all.”

There have been a number of issues that have developed, possibly as a result of his stroke.

He is, for example, dealing with major cognitive issues that prompted him to set up the iPad system for him to read the comments from others, so he doesn’t have to rely on his auditory processing to know what’s going on.

He also repeatedly has struggled with making statements – often delivering during Senate hearings a literal word salad of unconnected thoughts.

Further, his office has taken to issuing statements on what he “said,” that reflect highly edited versions of his actual statements.

And he was hospitalized for weeks for depression.

Of late, he’s been criticized for wearing hoodies and shorts to the U.S. Senate, which has a strict dress code that doesn’t include hoodies and shorts.

Fetterman’s prior political experience was as Democratic mayor of small-town Braddock, Pennsylvania, and for a time as the state’s lieutenant governor.

His cognitive issues mean that having his staff control the messaging about him is important, and Borwegan explained in detail.

Fetterman’s office only allows interviews with “journalists” who “will say exactly what you f****** want them to.”

“When you’re so exclusive with who you give interviews to, it’s like…the ones (journalists) you pick will just say exactly like you f****** want them to, you know?” he explained.

“They’re (journalists) just like puppets though. I only pick reporters who will like, who we know will paint the narrative the way we want.”

He said many journalists want a story about Fetterman, but “we only give it to certain people.”

Borwegan continued:

Like if they’re reporters we like, it’s good to have a good relationship with them. We have our press operations like a f—– work of art, like the way that like reporters, we can tell them to go f— themselves, and they can’t do anything, because they need us more than we need them, because, like everyone wants a f—— story about John Fetterman.

And we only give it to certain people. I only pick reporters who will like, who we know will paint the narrative the way we want. So it’s like when John checks himself in for depression, we tell one reporter in particular because like they will hit facts that we want them to because we pick reporters who like, we know will give us like a good treatment. They’re desperate for an interview with John.

He then explained his version of “access journalism,” which is when “reporters who will basically tell whatever f—— story their subject wants, as long as they get the interview.”

He identified some qualifying journalists as being with Pod Save America, which he said is was run by former Barack Obama staffers and reporter Kara Swisher.

“She’s like one of the best,” he said.

In late March, muckraking journalist James O’Keefe of O’Keefe Media Group (OMG) knocked on the doors of a few older and unemployed Americans, to ask them about their campaign donations, which were nothing less than extraordinary: Some were donating thousands of times, adding up to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

O’Keefe videotaped their reactions as they learned their names were possibly being used by the fundraising company called ActBlue to create plausible paper trail for donations to various Democrat political campaigns and causes. The people O’Keefe interviewed were stunned.

He spoke with one woman from Maryland who allegedly contributed $18,000 to Act Blue through over 1,000 individual contributions.

The woman appeared puzzled when she learned FEC records show she was donating constantly. She said she doesn’t have the means to be that generous: “I wish I could have donated $18,000,” she said on camera.

Love him or hate him, O’Keefe is onto something: The ActBlue fundraising platform may scrape names from a single or several donations people make and then attribute other, continuous donations to them.

Although it’s painstaking work, you, too, can discover this odd donor pattern if you look through the FEC database. But the FEC apparently never saw anything untoward about obsessive-compulsive political donations by unemployed older Americans.

O’Keefe’s investigation was replicated by private investigator Kyle Corrigan of Brightline Investigations in Wisconsin. He interviewed a gentleman who had no clue he had been credited with 11,000 donations over seven years by ActBlue. He said he may have donated once a month, but that was it.

Must Read Alaska combed through the ActBlue contributions to Alaska Democrat Rep. Mary Peltola for the 2022 cycle and found the same curious pattern of multiple older unemployed people in several non-Alaska states donating numerous times in small amounts, day after day.

It defied logic. In the short campaign season from the special election primary in August, a few donors made donations nearly every day to Peltola’s campaign — mainly in $10 or $25 amounts.

One New Mexico man donated to ActBlue at least 310 times in November of 2022, Must Read Alaska discovered — over 10 donations a day. That same person donated to Peltola’s campaign through ActBlue almost every other day starting in Sept. 15, 2023, and sometimes twice a day.

A review of Rep. Peltola’s 2023 first-quarter campaign earnings at the FEC turns up the same pattern from some of the same unemployed Americans who appear to have given compulsively to her campaign last year.

Why would unemployed elderly donors sit at a computer and make $10 or $25 donations every day to an unknown Democrat candidate in a red state like Alaska?

After the O’Keefe story broke on March 28, however, the FEC was silent as a graveyard.

Wisconsin Republican Sen. Ron Johnson immediately asked for answers. He could get nothing. Last week The Daily Caller News Foundation published a letter sent by Sen. Johnson to the FEC, asking why his March request for an explanation of the ActBlue fundraising mill is not being treated expeditiously. The FEC had first promised it would provide him a briefing, then said it would not. The agency said it would provide an explanation for why it will not brief the senator, but then gave Johnson the cold shoulder.

Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio also demanded answers.

“Two weeks ago, alarming reports emerged of fraudulent donations being reported to the FEC by ActBlue,” Rubio wrote to the FEC. “These reports indicate that numerous individuals, including senior citizens, have purportedly donated to ActBlue thousands of times a year. However, according to recent investigative reports, many of these individuals had no idea that their names and addresses were being used to give thousands of dollars in political donations, with most of these ‘donations’ going to ActBlue.”

Not only is the election accountability agency dragging its heels, but legacy media has ignored the revelation that ActBlue might have a little money-laundering issue.

Editors and reporters don’t like to admit that O’Keefe has discovered some uncomfortable information about the candidates and causes that they typically protect. O’Keefe uses brazen tactics that the Left has perfected — and he’s using those tactics on leftists themselves. What’s more, O’Keefe is not at all friendly to the mainstream media, so he’s ignored. They hope he’ll just go away.

For its part, ActBlue has not made any public statement about the straw donor allegation.

The trifecta of silence is deafening. Like the cops from “Men in Black,” we have a federal agency, the media, and the company itself saying, “Move along, nothing to see here.”

The well-oiled components of the Democrat narrative find nothing odd about an elderly unemployed American supposedly donating $230,000 in 31,000 separate contributions to ActBlue over three years. Nothing odd at all, right?

His latest investigation is looking into highly potential political contribution laundering through Democrat-affiliated donations portal Act Blue. In his first video, he followed leads to Maryland where he discovered elderly Democrat donors who seem to be oblivious to their names and addresses being used to make thousands of donations to Democrats.

The video above is the second video, this time with a citizen journalist from Wisconsin who heeded O’Keefe’s call for more people to step out and take action. A detective with Brightline Investigations for Election Watch found more elderly people in Wisconsin who appear to be the proxies through which money is being laundered to Democrat candidates and leftist causes.

In some cases, donations were made under the names and addresses of these people multiple times per day for years.

What the videos do not explain is what all this likely means. We are not part of the investigation and have not verified the information, nor do we have inside information about what’s going on. With that said, it’s very obvious. Someone located these people through public records, noting that they were donating through Act Blue multiple times. One lady said she donated around once per month. Another gentleman said he may have donated 800 times over the last seven years. FEC records indicate he donated 8,000 times.

A group of people is coordinating to make difficult-to-track small donations in the names of these elderly people. They use anonymous forms of payment such as Visa gift cards, plug in the names and addresses of the elderly people who are likely not checking the FEC records regularly if at all, and spreading these donations out to multiple candidates and organizations.

The question that will be challenging to answer is who is behind it. We know it’s a wealthy group that is expanding well beyond donation limits without diving into dark money. It seems possible if not likely that the money is foreign; going through the small donation process and laundering it through unsuspecting elderly people at this magnitude requires a serious desire for anonymity and a who lot of money.

The key to stopping this will be changing donation laws to require better validation. Organizations like Act Blue do the bare minimum record-keeping required by the FEC. Donations should be verified when they reach a certain threshold; there is no way our government should see someone averaging four donations per day for seven years without an alarm bell going off. The payment methods should be confirmed after a certain  point.

But the real “feel good” part of this story is seeing O’Keefe not only back in the saddle, but inspiring others to do the same. It took him years to build Project Veritas to the news organization it was before he was ousted. He doesn’t have that kind of time to build from scratch. America doesn’t have that kind of time, either.

His calls for others to do what he’s doing may be the fastest way to build up the citizen journalist army he needs. He even explains HOW to do it. Unlike Project Veritas which focused mostly on undercover reporting and whistleblowers, this first investigation from OMG has cameras and microphones visible. This makes it easier for others to get involved.

If this can be exposed and the laws are changed as a result, this could be O’Keefe’s biggest action yet. There may be “bigger” stories that he’s broken over the years, but this may result in more than a few people getting fired. This could turn into real action that puts an end to one of the most heinous subversions of our elections in play today.

Trump has suggested he would be arrested this week. He is being probed by a Manhattan District Alvin Bragg over a payment made to adult actress Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election.

A grand jury is reportedly considering charges against Trump.

After an O’Keefe supporter wondered whether O’Keefe has someone on the inside, O’Keefe suggested there are multiple insiders.

“The real question is how many do we have on the inside? Stay tuned,” O’Keefe wrote on Twitter.

Teases First Release

O’Keefe founded Project Veritas in 2010. He departed the group in February after the board of directors suspended him amid an investigation into alleged financial malfeasance. His new project is called O’Keefe Media Group, or OMG.

O’Keefe said that the new group has been sending cameras out, “which means the OMG army of exposers will soon be holding those in power accountable.”

O’Keefe warned people who are planning wrongdoing, adding: “You’re being watched. We’re coming after you. The next time you try and take advantage of honest Americans, the person sitting next to you might have a microphone or a camera. You see, the world is watching. And if you’re lying, cheating, stealing, or scamming, you might be the next unwilling star of the internet.”

OMG’s first story will be released on March 27, O’Keefe said.

At least one Project Veritas staffer has followed O’Keefe to the new project. R.C. Maxwell, a former Project Veritas employee, was in O’Keefe’s new video.

O’Keefe said in another Twitter post he’d just spent one day this week in three states.

“Just wrapped a 20 hour day. Three states, multiple investigations fueled by so many citizens,” he wrote.

New Model

OMG is based on the concept of collecting funds from supporters, buying cameras, and sending them to “citizen journalists” who will capture newsworthy moments.

News outlets “can’t hire everybody,” O’Keefe told The Epoch Times on March 16. “But what if there was a way to empower and mobilize journalists, citizen journalists, and decentralized journalism? In the same way that Uber did that for the taxi, if there was a way to do that for thousands and thousands of people? And you might say, well, that’s impossible, that’s too difficult. Well, that’s the mission that I’m embarking on.”

People have already approached OMG, asking for cameras to record school meetings and other events, O’Keefe said.

Asked whether the citizen journalists would be paid, O’Keefe said he wasn’t sure.

“Most people want to do this for free,” he said.

“I don’t know exactly how it’s going to work, we’re going to figure it out,” he added later.

O’Keefe said being ousted from Project Veritas has turned out to be a “blessing in disguise” because it let him start the new group.

A message from the Project Veritas staff

We have and always will remain loyal to James' vision, our mission, our country, and our supporters#Resilience pic.twitter.com/ldQYtbP7q5

— Project Veritas (@Project_Veritas) February 24, 2023

Here’s the transcript:

We, the staff at Project Veritas, are at a crossroads. High-level disputes between our leader and founder, James O’Keefe, and the volunteer Board of Directors who are responsible for oversight of the nonprofit have resulted in James no longer being here.

James is not only the founder of Project Veritas, but the creative visionary of our mission. This devastated us and the audience we exist for. James hasn’t resigned, nor was he fired. These events confuse, and they hurt us — leaving all of us in a state of limbo.

So, we have a choice to make. We want James back, but we have a duty to our generous supporters, to all of you, and to our journalistic integrity to break record stories which impact our culture, and most importantly, the future of our country. The board may have their obligations, but we are Project Veritas. James assembled this team of over sixty individuals who have bonded together in a common mission to expose waste, fraud, and abuse.

We expose everybody. This band of journalists, editors, producers, and all staff are still here to ensure the work gets done. James taught us to move mountains. We know that evil exists, we fight it every day. We don’t blame anyone for assuming the worst or thinking we’ve been co-opted by some outside force. But this fact still stands: no board or donor ever tells us what to report, and they never will.

We will never replace James O’Keefe. But for now, we see it as our job to hold the torch for him while keeping the door wide open for his return. We will keep the spirit of James’ mission alive for as long as we are able. We have investigations underway and stories to release. Our reporters are in the field. As James has always told us, ‘content is king.’ Our visionary may not be with us right now, but Project Veritas mission is vital. We will produce stories and break news until a day comes when we can’t.

Until then, we will keep this mission going for our country, for the truth, and for James. We know the world is watching and that some are hoping that we fail. We need you to know that as the Project Veritas team, we don’t want to see a Project Veritas without James O’Keefe. Due to decisions made outside our control, it’s possible we never earn back the trust of this audience — but we owe it to all of you to try.

Earlier, leaked emails showed Project Veritas begging donors to stop abandoning them.
