BREAKING: IRS official Alex Mena who works in “criminal investigations” says @IRSNews, ‘has no problem going after the small people, putting people in prison, and destroying people’s lives.’
Mena ‘doubts the constitutionality’ of his employer, the IRS, using AI to access everybody’s bank accounts nationwide. Mena recalls IRS agents stating “…the first person you shoot you’re gonna remember, but after that you’re gonna shoot like a hundred people, you’re not gonna remember any of them.”
He says IRS agents “are assholes...they are the definition of an asshole, all of them.”
This video was obtained by an O’Keefe Media citizen journalist who is a part of our American Swiper Program.

BREAKING: O’Keefe Media Group infiltrates SECRET converted illegal immigrant compound CASA ALITAS Ramada Hotel in Tucson.
This secret operation is funded by Catholic Community Services of Tucson and enriches groups like, “Las Palmas.”
O’Keefe disguised himself as a homeless drunk vagrant and Mexican illegals wore hidden cameras to gain entrance inside. @ashley @nick caught on tape Police confirming refugees are “lying about sponsors.”
Here, Casa Alitas migrants are brought to the Ramada Inn where breakfast, lunch, hygienic services, and free wifi is offered.
Migrants shared with one of our undercover journalists that NGOs, "Get paid no matter what.”
Our undercover journalist confirms with a migrant that they have seen many gang members come through in caravans. The migrant tells us that Border Patrols suspect gang members but they still let them pass through, “They will ask about gang tattoos but Border Patrol still lets those people in.”
@ashley interviewed a taxi driver while posing as a local ministry outreach member, and discovered that Catholic Community Services, “...give them (migrants) services but don't treat them well. They scare them.” The taxi driver works with the migrant population on a regular basis.
O’Keefe asks Deputy Carter, “...is that bus filled with illegal immigrants?” At that moment as migrant buses pulled up directly behind Carter, he responded stating, “Sir, I’m not on the bus”.
Appearing a Fundraiser in Vero Beach, FL on February 10th for AbleChild. Tickets almost sold out!

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.

INSANE VIDEO:
IRS Official Alex Mena SPRINTS a mile down 7th avenue in NYC after O’Keefe shows footage of him calling the IRS AI programs 'unconstitutional’
Mena then attempted to hide by standing in a shadowy doorway on Commerce Street, before O’Keefe found him and Mena began running again.
Mena, who said he works with Criminal Investigations for the IRS, denied his own identity to O’Keefe, saying “that’s not me.” When he was confronted with the hidden camera footage, Mena added, “I’m really sorry”

^^LEAKED: A board meeting of @UUCTucson Universalist Church of Tucson was a held day after our “No Mas Muertes” report showing a Mexican man in their camp offering 300 dollars to traffic our undercover journalist to Phoenix
In this leaked video, the Board of Trustees, and Fundraising Coordinator Danielle discuss contacting the FBI about @OKeefeMedia and filing a “cease and desist letter” to stop our investigative journalism.
“Anything that we can do can give James O’Keefe fuel for the fire, even just sending him a letter…”
^^BREAKING: @OKeefeMedia infiltrates secret NO MAS MUERTES, @NoMoreDeaths encampment in the middle of the desert in Aravaca, Arizona near the border. Posing as donors and land surveyors, and with the help of an illegal immigrant working undercover, OMG recordings show this nonprofit engaged in paranoia, hostility towards law enforcement and white people, recommendations to violate asylum law, and offers of for-profit services – actions related more to a human trafficking operation than a humanitarian nonprofit.
Hidden cameras show Mexican men from Sonora and Tijuna pointing guns at our undercover illegal immigrant, and requesting 300 dollars cash to traffick him to Phoenix. Stuck inside the camp, our undercover journalist was interrogated and feared for his life. James O’Keefe had to put on a bulletproof vest with the word PRESS on it, and extract the journalist in a standoff at the gate.
A “ministry” of the Universal Unitarian Church out of Tucson, @UUCTucson, and a 501c3 which does not file a public tax return, O’Keefe’s “surveyor” team recorded No More Deaths staff in the camp discuss their operations in detail including their budget (400K) and discovered the identity of staff - which they went to great lengths to keep SECRET. The staff said “We are paranoid” and called our team of surveyors “white supremacists…”

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.
