James O'Keefe Insider Says He Plotted To Incite Violence Against Police, Blame Protesters

Activist allegedly tried to bait protesters with ‘kill cops’ script


A controversial conservative activist is being accused of trying to incite anti-police protesters by saying, “I wish I could kill some of these cops,” to provoke them into making outrageous statements.

A former top staffer with Project Veritas, Richard Valdes, said the incident occurred in January, when an undercover operative assigned to infiltrate the protest groups was given a script that included the startling comment.

Valdes said he was fired by the group’s founder, James O’Keefe, for not following through on the bizarre assignment.

Valdes said Veritas assigned a Muslim undercover agent pretending to be anti-cop to attend protest meetings and utter the following statement: “Sometimes, I wish I could just kill some of these cops. Don’t you just wish we could have one of the cops right here in the middle of our group?”

Nothing new, at all.

But that O'Keefe, I will be honest, I have had fantasies about running into him someday

How long are we going to let these guys get away with false flag attacks. Their heroes are the Neoconning 911 criminals who most probably accomplished the same thing on 911 but on a grander scale. Don't all the wishy washy wimpy moderates in our party get sick of this as it only encourages them to try it again when they get away with it the first time. It's getting pathetic. Where are some Democratic prosecutors with the courage to confront people who would endanger cops for political purposes. This is sickening.

That kind of talk would never be accepted at any protest I've ever been to.

Of course, it would be funny if he infiltrated a protest and make comments like this to an undercover cop

In this case, that's exactly what it was.

Who put him up to this? Dave and Charlie?

Sorry, Jack Rabbit, that metaphor got a little more disgusting than I had expected. It is nevertheless true!

everything substantial. And rather than grow the hell up they would rather lie, cheat, and manipulate people so as to conjure situations that comport with the world view contained in the diarrhea between their ears.

to do his little "films".

So I guess, when you have no talent, no skills, no brains, no conceivable way of making a living, and when you contribute absolutely nothing to society, you can make your living begging for money from people who call the working class "takers and moochers", and helping them provide a false narrative on which to base your values on.

It's quite clever. Why no one ever calls him on it is beyond me. The man is a criminal, a liar, and a moocher, completely and totally useless, except for the fact that he is willing to commit a crime, lie, cheat and steal to prove to you that he's the good guy.
