The internal collapse of Project Veritas remains one of the most controversial media stories of the last few years.
Recent undercover footage involving former board member Matthew Tyrmand has shed new light on one of the possible motivations behind James O’Keefe’s ouster.
(It may also be that O’Keefe was politically targeted due to the purchase of the diary of former President Joe Biden’s daughter, Ashley Biden, which O’Keefe ultimately gave to law enforcement — didn’t publish.)
Key takeaways from the recorded conversations:
1. The Biotech & Pfizer Connection
Perhaps the most significant revelation involves a potential conflict of interest. Tyrmand discussed his financial ties to a biotech company called Petragen.
- The Conflict: Another board member suggested Petragen could be a target for acquisition by Pfizer.
- The Context: This comes after O’Keefe’s high-profile investigations into Pfizer’s COVID-19 practices.
- The Breach: Tyrmand admitted to being under an NDA regarding the company, yet disclosed the name to an undercover journalist, expressing fear of legal repercussions if he put it in writing.
2. Legal Maneuvering & Informant Status
Tyrmand’s efforts to remove O’Keefe allegedly went beyond the boardroom:
- SDNY Informant: Tyrmand admitted to acting as an informant for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) in an attempt to see O’Keefe imprisoned.
- Personal Animosity: The footage captures Tyrmand making extreme statements regarding his desire to “unalive” O’Keefe and admitting to using O’Keefe’s book for target practice.
3. The “Weaponized” Goal
Tyrmand was vocal about his personal ambitions, stating a desire to earn $100 million and “weaponize” that capital. This raises serious questions: was the removal of O’Keefe—on Tyrmand’s birthday, February 6th—driven by organizational integrity, hatred, or a financial incentive to protect potential buyers like Pfizer? All three?
4. Broad Accusations
Beyond O’Keefe, Tyrmand leveled unbacked allegations of corruption against several prominent figures, including Donald Trump Jr. and Charlie Kirk, suggesting a wider rift within the conservative media landscape.
Personal Observations:
1. This footage suggests the “ouster” was far more than a simple management dispute.
2. Tyrmand (judging from this and other video) is clearly arrogant, hateful, petty and greedy. The money went to his head. He thought he was going to sleep with this honeypot, and so he let the mask slip. If you want to be a successful businessperson, you have to break your ego first, because otherwise it will poison your soul and set you up to make mistakes that lead to disaster.
3. Video debunks unsubstantiated claim by journalist and political activist Chuck Johnson that “Matt Tyrmand was James O’Keefe’s Israeli handler.”
