A prominent Republican group from New York has suspended a member of their Board of Advisors pending an investigation into whether he is the mastermind behind the ousting of James O’Keefe from Project Veritas.
New York Young Republican Club announced they have suspended Matthew Tyrmand, a member of the Project Veritas Board of Directors. According to NYYRC:
Yesterday, James O’Keefe announced that the Project Veritas Board had terminated his responsibilities. O’Keefe established Project Veritas, which he has grown into one of the nation’s greatest hard-hitting investigative media sources.
After conducting a series of interviews, the Board of Governors of the New York Young Republican Club has learned that Matthew Tyrmand, a member of our Board of Advisors, may have engineered O’Keefe’s ouster on tenuous claims of financial malfeasance.
O’Keefe is a close friend of the Club, and Tyrmand serves as a member of the Club’s Board of Advisors. Pending the outcome of an internal investigation, to be conducted by our Board of Governors, Matthew Tyrmand will be suspended from his role. We believe in free speech and transparency of operations, and the credible reports we have received require full investigation to ensure that our Members’ interests are represented appropriately.
The Club will continue to be transparent with the public as more information can be released over time.
Conservative show hosts Steve Bannon and Charlie Kirk discussed the ousting of O’Keefe with Bannon saying the board members were no longer allowed on his show. He mentioned Tyrmand by name. Watch:
As I noted on Twitter and on today’s episode of The JD Rucker Show, it seems conspicuous that all of this started happening almost immediately after the bombshells dropped by Project Veritas regarding Pfizer. Could this all be a way to take out arguably the most important investigative journalism organizations among conservatives?
James O'Keefe wasn't taken down by the board. He wasn't taken down by disgruntled employees. He wasn't taken down for buying black vehicles.
James O'Keefe was taken down because he is Project Veritas and Project Veritas exposed Pfizer.
The powers-that-be don't like exposure.

As this saga unfolds, it seems clear that Project Veritas may be done. They’ve lost tons of support and are the being scolded across the board by conservative media. Perhaps this was the plan the whole time.
Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
Of course, this is because of his investigations into Pfizer. He has progressively been peeling the onion and has gotten dangerously close to their core- which is their financial machines.
Tyrmand and others must’ve been paid off, or were sleeper cells planted in PV for just this time. This has done damage to the brand regardless of the outcome.
We have to face the fact that there are two different sides of the Republican base- one is for globalism, stakeholder capitalism, Private-Public Partnership (~ Mussolini-Level Fascism), technocracy and “mark of the beast,” aka digital social economic credit system. That side is made up of the so called, “Elites” like Crenshaw and probably the majority of the GOP- definitely, the more established you are in the GOP, the more likely you are UniParty. The other side is massive and represents the common voter- Blue Collar, Populist, Conservatives…
I think they plan to go the way of the Lincoln project
Thank you for this reporting; something smelled wrong from the get-go! Project Veritas, a.k.a., James O’keefe asked questions we needed answered and exposed truth we didn’t know existed! He is essential and vital, that’s why they took him down. Rise again, Mr. O’keefe, like a Phoenix! Praying strength and fortitude, wisdom and mercy will be your portion!
Like having the devil/Judas in the camp.
