NYT publishes hit piece on Eric Prince and Project Veritas Collaboration

The New York Times has run a hit piece today on Erik Prince’s collaboration with Project Veritas. Although the article is long and includes far-fetched conspiracies, there is some information worth noting.

According to a report from The New York Times, Project Veritas, the group known for secretly recording and releasing clips that exposes the fake news media, teamed up with Erik Prince who used former British and American intelligence officials to infiltrate at least two left-wing groups and help expose damaging information about their agenda.

One of the other disturbing parts of this piece is that the NYTimes also released information on James O’Keefe’s upcoming wedding and mentions that Donald Trump Jr. is on the attendee list. Basically doxxing him and releasing the location of his wedding reception.

One of the former spies, an ex-MI6 officer named Richard Seddon, helped run a 2017 operation to copy files and record conversations in a Michigan office of the American Federation of Teachers, one of the largest teachers’ unions in the nation. Mr. Seddon directed an undercover operative to secretly tape the union’s local leaders and try to gather information that could be made public to damage the organization, documents show.

Using a different alias the next year, the same undercover operative infiltrated the congressional campaign of Abigail Spanberger, then a former C.I.A. officer who went on to win an important House seat in Virginia as a Democrat. The campaign discovered the operative and fired her.

Both operations were run by Project Veritas, a conservative group that has gained attention using hidden cameras and microphones for sting operations on news organizations, Democratic politicians and liberal advocacy groups. Mr. Seddon’s role in the teachers’ union operation — detailed in internal Project Veritas emails that have emerged from the discovery process of a court battle between the group and the union — has not previously been reported, nor has Mr. Prince’s role in recruiting Mr. Seddon for the group’s activities.

[…]

Mr. Prince appears to have become interested in using former spies to train Project Veritas operatives in espionage tactics sometime during the 2016 presidential campaign.

The website for Mr. O’Keefe’s coming wedding listed Donald Trump Jr. as an invited guest.

According to the article, James O’keefe declined to answer questions about his collab with Erik Prince. Although he did comment that Project Veritas is an independant organization and is involved in dozens of investigations. “No one tells Project Veritas who or what to investigate,” he said. Also James O’keefe mentioned how Project Veritas have additonal sources that seek them out and provide the group with confidential documents and other insights. So it’s not just Erik Prince they work with. Reading the The NYTimes would have you believe they are beholden to Erik Prince’s clutches.
