- James Edward O'Keefe III (born June 28, 1984) is an American political activist and provocateur who founded Project Veritas, a far-right activist group that uses deceptive editing techniques to attack mainstream media organizations and progressive groups. Both O'Keefe and Project Veritas have produced secretly recorded undercover audio and video encounters in academic, governmental, and social service organizations, purporting to show abusive or illegal behavior by representatives of those organizations; the recordings are often selectively edited to misrepresent the context of the conversations and the subjects' responses. O’Keefe first gained national attention for his selectively edited video recordings of workers at Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) offices in 2009, his arrest and misdemeanor guilty plea in 2010 for entering the federal office of then-U.S. Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA) under false pretenses, and the release of misleading videos of conversations with two high-ranking, now former, NPR executives in 2011. When his videos – heavily edited to portray ACORN workers seemingly aiding a couple in criminal planning – were publicized, the U.S. Congress voted to freeze funds for the non-profit. The national controversy resulted in the non-profit also losing most of its private funding before investigations of the videos concluded no illegal activity occurred. In March 2010, ACORN was close to bankruptcy and had to close or rename most of its offices. Shortly thereafter, the California State Attorney General's Office and the US Government Accountability Office released their related investigative reports. The Attorney General's Office found that O'Keefe had misrepresented the actions of ACORN workers in California and that the workers had not broken any laws. A preliminary probe by the GAO found that ACORN had managed its federal funds appropriately. One of the fired ACORN workers sued O'Keefe for invasion of privacy; O'Keefe issued an apology and agreed to pay $100,000 in a settlement. O'Keefe has gained support from right-wing and conservative media and interest groups, as well as from the far right. In 2009, Andrew Breitbart commissioned him for the option to publish new videos exclusively on BigGovernment. (en)
- James Edward O'Keefe III, né le 28 juin 1984 dans le comté de Bergen (États-Unis), est un militant politique conservateur américain. Il produit des rencontres secrètes audio et vidéo sous couverture enregistrées avec des personnalités et des travailleurs d'organisations universitaires, gouvernementales et de services sociaux, aux fins de démontrer un comportement abusif ou potentiellement illégal de la part d'employés et / ou de représentants de ces organisations. Il lui a été reproché d'avoir édité de manière sélective des vidéos afin de mal représenter le contexte des conversations et les réponses des sujets, créant supposément la fausse impression que des personnes auraient dit ou fait des choses qu'elles n'ont pas faites. Il attire l'attention nationale pour ses enregistrements vidéo de travailleurs aux bureaux de l'Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN en anglais) en 2009, pour son arrestation et son plaidoyer de culpabilité en 2010 pour avoir pénétré dans les bureaux fédéraux de la sénatrice américaine Mary Landrieu (D-LA) sous de faux motifs, ainsi que pour la diffusion de vidéos de conversations avec deux hauts dirigeants du NPR en 2011. Lorsque ses vidéos montrant des travailleurs de ACORN semblant aider un couple dans la planification d'un acte criminel commencent à circuler, le Congrès américain vote rapidement en faveur du gel des fonds pour les organisations à but non lucratif. La controverse nationale entraîne une perte de la plupart de ses fonds privés pour les organisations à but non lucratif avant que les enquêtes sur les vidéos ne concluent à l'absence d'activités illégales. En mars 2010, ACORN était au bord de la faillite et a dû fermer ou renommer la plupart de ses bureaux. Peu de temps après, le bureau du Procureur général de Californie et le Government Accountability Office des États-Unis ont publié leurs rapports d'enquête. Le bureau du procureur général a conclu qu'O'Keefe avait donné une image fausse des actes des travailleurs d'ACORN en Californie et que ceux-ci n'avaient enfreint aucune loi. Une enquête préliminaire menée par le GAO a révélé qu'ACORN avait géré ses fonds fédéraux de manière appropriée. L'un des travailleurs licenciés d'ACORN a poursuivi O'Keefe pour atteinte à la vie privée ; O'Keefe a présenté des excuses et a accepté de payer 100 000 dollars dans un règlement. O'Keefe a obtenu le soutien de médias et de groupes d'intérêts conservateurs. En 2009, Andrew Breitbart lui avait commandé l'option de publier de nouvelles vidéos exclusivement sur BigGovernment.com. En juin 2010, O'Keefe a créé une organisation 501 (c) (3), Project Veritas. (fr)
