Maybe there is a benefit, it’s just not for us. ‘coz if the dollars on the table don’t stack up, the answer’s probably under the table.

Counter-Sting Catches James OKeefe Network Attempting To Sow Chaos At Trumps Inauguration

Share

WASHINGTON ― A left-wing political group released a new video Monday of a counter-sting that has uncovered evidence of right-wing activists trying to sow chaos at Donald Trump’s inaugural ceremony, an effort to portray critics of Trump who march against him as violent fringe figures.

The counter-sting, carried out by The Undercurrent and Americans Take Action, a project of a previous target of provocateur James O’Keefe, managed to surreptitiously record elements of O’Keefe’s network offering huge sums of money to progressive activists if they would disrupt the ceremony and “put a stop to the inauguration” and the related proceedings to such a degree that donors to the clandestine effort would “turn on a TV and maybe not even see Trump.” To have riots blot out coverage of Trump, the donor offered “unlimited resources,” including to shut down bridges into D.C.

The Undercurrent, led by executive producer Lauren Windsor, is sponsored by American Family Voices, which was among a constellation of groups infiltrated by O’Keefe’s Project Veritas during the presidential campaign, an effort to link Democrats with voter fraud.

Windsor told HuffPost that for now, the group is only releasing an edited version of the video. One of the conservative operatives recorded on it by The Undercurrent was Allison Maass, who previously was caught attempting to infiltrate the Senate campaign of Russ Feingold in Wisconsin, as well as the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton. Maass was also a lead infiltrator during the voter fraud campaign.

Windsor, in investigating Project Veritas, discovered the name of a front group, Breakthrough Dev Group, that O’Keefe was using to set up stings. Somebody from BDG contacted an allied group, which reached out to activist Ryan Clayton. Windsor arranged to have the meeting secretly recorded. (It’s likely Maass was recording as well. It is plausible that O’Keefe’s plan was not to disrupt to inaugural, but instead to catch lefties offering to do so.)

“It was my pleasure to work with the highly skilled operatives who pulled off this reverse sting of political conman James O’Keefe and his Project Veritas cohorts,” Clayton told HuffPost.

When attempting to infiltrate the Feingold campaign, Maass gave her name as Allison Moss, but listed a phone number that was publicly traceable to her Yonkers home and her real name of Allison Maass. Maass did not return a voicemail left Monday by HuffPost. Maass also left an email with the Feingold campaign, which HuffPost reached out to for comment. O’Keefe, rather than Maass, responded with a phone call, but said he wasn’t able to immediately comment without more information.

Trump’s charitable foundation has contributed to O’Keefe’s Project Veritas, and Trump invited O’Keefe to a presidential debate.

O’Keefe often releases his videos in dribs and drabs, and Windsor told HuffPost she is planning to do the same with O’Keefe. An edited version of the encounter is embedded below.

The Undercurrent is back for season 2! They talk about what people do with their free time. How do you spend your free time?

So the ‪#‎TPP‬ has been signed. Well done, citizens of earth. We've managed to implement a permanent policy that punishes the most vulnerable members of our global community and attacks the sovereign rights of every 'partner' country. Medecins Sans Frontiers (Doctors Without Borders) say '...the TPP will still go down in history as the worst trade agreement for access to medicines in developing countries, which will be forced to change their laws to incorporate abusive intellectual property protections for pharmaceutical companies.' Not to mention the ability for governments to be sued by private corporations if legislation (actual or potential) is passed that protect the rights of citizens/their environment but impinge the profitability of businesses. Signing the TPP is sort of like shooting ourselves in the foot because it was a better choice than shooting ourselves in the face. You know, we could have just put the gun down. JD

The Undercurrent

From the mountain peaks of the Red Planet flows

A river current that no Earth race knows

Where the water starts and where the water goes

In a ground-bound channel all the way down.

Between the frosted caps of Martian terrain

Lies a wilderness beneath the river's one-note refrain

And it's a nomad's distance there to remain

It's a ground-bound channel all the way down.

No one knows yet the size of the gorge

It's something so large that only God could forge

It could house a metropolis named after George

Within the ground-bound channel all the way down.

Beneath the surface stirs scaley Martian life

A clan of creatures of war and strife

They have a scream that cuts like a knife

Inside the ground-bound channel all the way down.

Hair of silk, eyes bulbous and black

With sharp jagged teeth and a venom sac

That could wrack you with pain, and there's no going back

It's a ground-bound channel all the way down.

Stubby fingers, retractable claws

They're sharp enough to shred you raw

And feed what's left into open maw

Under the ground-bound channel all the way down.

Humanoid torso, tailfin waist-down

It outswims its prey with nary a sound

It'll grab you and wrap its arms around

Beneath the ground-bound current all the way down.

Their world is fading, extinction closes in

The water's receding as days near the end

What remains of their people cannot amend

In the ground-bound channel all the way down.
