EXCLUSIVE: Internal Project Veritas communications show staff response to mass layoffs, and condemning James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles
Project Veritas is almost out of staff, and almost out of money.

I’ve covered the ongoing troubles at Project Veritas extensively, from when James O’Keefe walked out on the organization he founded (without resigning) to the lawsuit that Project Veritas filed against James after he broke his employment agreement and went on a conservative media smear campaign. At this point, I knew that James O’Keefe was the cause of all of this, because he has Narcissist Personality Disorder. I broke down why I asserted that here.
This is the real timeline of how James walked out of Project Veritas.
Most recently, I covered the mass layoffs in the organization and am the only person telling the whole story of what happened at Project Veritas, confirmed by the now-former employees who lived it:
This is Christian Hartsock, the former Chief Investigative Journalist at Project Veritas, confirming everything I said in the video above is true:
And again here for good measure (he was responding to Mike Cernovich, who was dragging the organization but hadn’t bothered to reach out to Christian and find out what the truth was).
I bring all this up to (a) get you up to speed quickly if you haven’t been following along with what has happened at Project Veritas and (b) to make sure you know why I have screenshots of internal communications from Project Veritas that show how the recent mass layoffs were communicated to the staff and what their reaction was.
This is how the mass layoffs were communicated to the staff.
The first round occurred on Monday, August 14, 2023 and the second on Thursday, August 17, 2023
This was the team's reaction to the second round of firings, including those employees who were laid off.
It shows the staff blamed James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles for ineffectual leadership and that Hannah lied to at least one staff member about what was happening.
I’ve heard multiple reports of Hannah lying from other team members who were let go.
After the second round of firings, Project Veritas’s Chief Financial Officer Tom O’Hara also resigned.
Tom apologized to the team for not being able to save them.
Other chats note that the vast majority of people who produced the breaking news that made Project Veritas famous were among those fired.
Finally, on Friday, an additional journalist (Arden Young) resigned.
Arden had escaped the layoffs but elected to leave anyway.
We are witnessing the death of Project Veritas at the hands of James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles.
I’m told that most people who remain on the skeleton crew are looking for an exit strategy, the organization only has about $1.4 million in the bank, and Hannah Giles is in the Project Veritas office this week with plans to completely liquidate the office by September.
Since I’m the only independent journalist telling the truth about what happened, I will continue documenting what I can here for posterity.
There will be more documents and receipts coming.
I will also be doing a more thorough write-up of the entire timeline of events surrounding the sad (and completely unnecessary) demise of Project Veritas soon. The industrial/organizational psychologist in me takes a particular interest in the inner workings of organizations in the space because if they are led by corrupt leadership, that hurts all of us.

Fight back against the woke and support my work.
I believe the woke - on the left and the right - are an existential threat to our values as Americans. Some of them know it, most of them are just useful innocents. Regardless, fighting back against this woke cultural revolution is my full-time job. I’m dedicated to exposing the woke ideology in our country, helping people to understand what’s going on, and providing spaces for non-woke people to connect, support each other, and plan ways to fight back.
Here’s how you can help.
