I don't know about you, but I totally did not see this coming.

Investigative news outlet Project Veritas suspended operations this week amid a substantial drop in funding following the ouster of founder James O'Keefe.

HR Director Jennifer Kiyak announced a round of layoffs on Wednesday in a letter obtained by Mediaite.

"In the interest of preserving the possible future existence of Project Veritas we need to put operations on pause and, as communicated since the Spring, another Reduction in Force ('RIF') is necessary," she wrote.

What did they expect?

To be honest, I think they expected this. I think they intended to destroy the organization.

As we keep seeing, the Establishment will only permit half-hearted, token, symbolic resistance.

If you really resist them -- out come the r4pe allegations.
