Just the fact that you're now really pushing the notion that this video is genuine and that teachers go around bragging about "grooming children" shows that even you don't believe it's genuine. Why would anyone admit that on camera and post it to media? Why would you publically admit you're a child molester? You'd have to be pretty stupid to do that.
I googled your claim of the success of PV sting operations and this is what I got.
- Democratic Operatives (2016): Democratic consultant Scott Foval was fired, and political operative Bob Creamer stepped back from their roles after undercover videos purported to show them discussing strategies for inciting violence at Donald Trump rallies. [1, 2]
- City Hall Aide (2022): New York City Mayor Eric Adams fired City Hall aide Christopher Baugh after Project Veritas secretly recorded him making disparaging remarks about the mayor. [1]
- Washington Nationals Official (2026): The Washington Nationals fired a team official after an undercover video surfaced that appeared to show him discussing internal club operations and a player's religion.
Three people, one of whom dissed the mayor of New York, and the football guy for violating his confidentiality agreement. The guy who got fired for talking about inciting violence at a Trump Rally was small potatoes and deserved it, but these are hardly big investigative scores.
Then I googled the times PV got caught lying:
- The Washington Post Infiltration (2017): Project Veritas attempted to trick The Washington Post into publishing a false story about a political candidate to discredit the publication. The scam backfired; the Post caught the operative lying and won a Pulitzer Prize for exposing the operation.
- Voter Fraud Admissions (2020/2024): The group released highly publicized allegations regarding voter fraud at a Pennsylvania post office. Project Veritas later admitted in court and settling agreements that it had zero evidence to support these claims.
- Deceptive Editing: The group has a history of selectively editing hidden-camera footage. For example, a deceptively edited video portraying NPR executives led to the resignation of NPR's CEO in 2013.
And then I googled their legal cases:
- The Diary Case: Federal authorities investigated how Project Veritas acquired the diary. In August 2022, two Florida residents pleaded guilty to stealing the diary and other personal items and selling them to the organization.
- Founder Fallout: Amid the ongoing federal probe and internal allegations of financial malfeasance, the organization's board ousted founder James O'Keefe in early 2023.
- Operational Shutdown: Following a wave of staff layoffs, lawsuits, and executive departures, Project Veritas suspended all operations in September 2023.
