Four months ago Project Veritas hired 56-year-old Barry Hinckley to serve as Chief Strategy Officer. Hinckley wrote an email to PV staff claiming he had “stood up to a bully” and had lost his job as a result.
2/PROJECT VERITAS MUTINY🧵
Barry Hinckley is the heir to the Hinckley Yachts family, a failed Senate candidate from Rhode Island, and CEO of a failed company that called itself the Airbnb of private house parties. Why did he attack @JamesOKeefeIII in just four months?
3/PROJECT VERITAS MUTINY🧵
Barry Hinckley, desperate for fame and fortune, recorded himself asking Ms. Bridget Beer to marry him. Hopefully, he's better at strategy than singing...
4/PROJECT VERITAS MUTINY🧵
Barry Hinckley recruited 11 other @Project_Veritas employees to sign a letter declaring @JamesOKeefeIII a “power-drunk tyrant" which he presumably sent to PV's board of directors in an effort to oust him from the company.
5/PROJECT VERITAS MUTINY🧵
Reportedly, @JamesOKeefeIII fired Barry Hinckley and Tom O’Hara (CFO) as a result of their insubordination.
I have ZERO doubt that @JamesOKeefeIII is a crazy man who is hard to work for, but without James, there would be no PV. Firing him would be the end of @Project_Veritas. The answer is to build a team who can support James not undermine him. I'm game.
8/PROJECT VERITAS MUTINY🧵
The decision to put @JamesOKeefeIII on paid leave seems to have been Daniel Strack, PV's Executive Director. Strack was unceremoniously pushed out of Goldman Sachs as an MD after just 3 years.
USAID🧵: Democrats on Capitol Hill had a meltdown Monday after Trump moved to rein in USAID—cutting off its taxpayer-funded slush fund for DEI projects, foreign EV subsidies, and dubious NGOs. The outrage tells you everything. Here is a list of what they're upset about.
USAID🧵: American taxpayers, via USAID, covered about 20% of the BBC’s top 10 donor receipts in 2023 and 2024. Yes, U.S. tax dollars are helping fund Britain’s state media.
USAID🧵: USAID didn’t just fund AIDS prevention workshops—it used them as a front to recruit insurgents in Cuba. According to reports, undercover agents posed as health workers to identify potential rebels. Your tax dollars at work—funding regime change under the guise of public health.
CLOSED BORDER: Trump has the hardest working team. Here is @Sec_Noem on a pre-dawn immigration enforcement operation in NYC this morning. DHS knew where these illegal rapists and murderers were but they were forced to leave them alone.
h/t @TriciaOhio
CLOSED BORDER: @Sec_Noem on an ICE raid in NYC this AM taking down a criminal alien with kidnapping, assault & burglary charges is now in custody. DHS has known where this guy was, Biden’s police was to have his team focus on J6ers instead.
PARDON: Evidently multiple jurisdictions were refusing to release the J6 political prisoners being held in their custody after Trump issued their pardons. Trump mobilized the US Marshals and Elon pitched cleanup on X. Its 2:30AM CST did everyone get out?
PARDON: The MDP were telling people that the J6 political prisoners would NOT be released tonight, but I’m hearing from @FreeStateWill that he’s picking up another prisoner from the DC jail now (3:50 AM EST).
@FreeStateWill PARDON: Sounds like the J6 political prisoners won’t be released for a few more hours. Media is gathering outside the DC jail as officials continue to defy Trump’s pardons. I imagine @mtgreenee and @laurenboebert will be here in the AM if there are further delays.
The Chinese Communist Party is celebrating the ban of TikTok as American influencers move to CCP-controlled platforms like RedNote. Young American women are now paid foreign assets spreading propaganda for China.
REDNOTE: Not only have America’s teens flocked to the CCP-controlled social media app, enlisted sailors aboard US Naval warships are posting to RedNote.
REDNOTE: Scrolling through CCP-controlled RedNote and there a lot of enlisted military posting. @PeteHegseth needs to get a handle on this ASAP
DEMOCRACY? With just days in office Joe Biden has decided he isn't bound by the constitution unilaterally ratifying The Equal Rights Amendment. The executive branch doesn't have a direct role in the amendment process and the 28th Amendment wasn't ratified by the deadline.
DEMOCRACY? Amendments by Acclamation: Democrats Move to Simply Declare the Equal Rights Amendment as Ratified. jonathanturley.org/2022/03/11/ame…
DEMOCRACY: For all of his warnings about authoritarians Biden makes his best impression of one during his last week in office.
