[Donation Page] [1]Dear Friend,

I posted a picture of myself this weekend. Buzzed head. Cold stare. No
smile.

A friend of mine looked at it and said, "You don't even look like the
same person."

He's right. I'm not.

I'm 41 years old. I've been doing this work for twenty-two years. And
every single one of those years left a mark — not on my face, but on
my spine. On my will. On the thing inside me that refuses to quit.

They tried to destroy me. They arrested me. They raided my home. They
sued me. They conspired against me from the inside. They sent a former
board member to the FBI to feed them information and try to put me in
prison.

And I'm still here.

Not just still here. Stronger than I've ever been. And I need you to
understand why — because your SUPPORT RIGHT NOW IS WHAT KEEPS ME IN
THE FIGHT [1].
STAND WITH JAMES — DONATE NOW [1] Let me take you back to January
2010. I was twenty-five years old. A kid with a camera and a
conviction that the truth mattered more than my comfort.

Federal agents put me in handcuffs inside a United States senator's
office in New Orleans. They led me out in front of the cameras. Every
network in the country ran the footage. "Conservative activist
arrested," the chyrons said. They wanted that to be the end of my
story.

I was twenty-five. I had no money. No legal team. No powerful friends.
Just a belief that citizens had a right to know what their government
was doing — and a willingness to pay the price for acting on it.

That false arrest was supposed to scare me into silence. It did the
opposite. It taught me that the people in power will use every weapon
they have against anyone who threatens the narrative. And it taught me
that I could take the hit and keep walking.
KEEP JAMES AND OMG IN THE FIGHT — DONATE NOW [1] Eleven years later,
they came for me again. This time they didn't just arrest me. They
kicked in my door.

November 2021. FBI agents swarmed my apartment in New York. They put
me in handcuffs in my own hallway. They seized my phones. They rifled
through my belongings. A journalist — treated like a criminal in his
own home.

Why? Because someone gave us a diary that belonged to the President's
daughter. We didn't publish it. We turned it over to law enforcement.
AND THEY RAIDED ME ANYWAY.

Think about that. We did the right thing — and the FBI showed up at
my door at dawn with guns and handcuffs.

The message was clear: We don't care what you did or didn't publish.
We want you to know that we can reach you. Anywhere. Anytime.

CAN YOU CHIP IN $35, $50, OR $100 RIGHT NOW TO HELP ME KEEP FIGHTING?
[1]

The raids and the arrests — those I expected. What I didn't expect
was the betrayal from inside.

A man who sat on my own board — a man I trusted — went to the FBI
and became an informant against me. He admitted it on our hidden
cameras. He told our undercover journalist he'd fed "tons of
information" to federal law enforcement. Every agency that called, he
answered.

Then we found his copy of my book, Breakthrough — with a rifle
bullet fired straight through the heart on the cover. Exit wound out
the back. When I confronted him in Miami Beach and asked him about it,
he said: "I needed a target."

When I asked if he'd kill me, he called it "a figure of speech."

A figure of speech. A bullet through my heart. From a man who was
supposed to protect the organization I built.
BACK JAMES AND OMG — DONATE NOW [1] I could fill a filing cabinet
with the lawsuits they've thrown at me. Pentagon contractors. DOJ
officials. Corporate executives. My own former organization sued me
after I was forced out by the very board that harbored an FBI
informant.

Every lawsuit is designed to do the same thing: bleed me dry. Tie me
up in discovery. Drain the resources I need for investigations and
redirect them to lawyers. That's how lawfare works — you don't have
to win in court. You just have to make the fight so expensive that
your target gives up.

They've been waiting sixteen years for me to give up.

I haven't.

HELP ME KEEP GOING [1]. $35 helps cover a day of fieldwork. $100 funds
legal review on an investigation. $250 helps launch the next
undercover operation.

I want to be honest with you about something, because I think you
deserve it.

I don't have a normal life. I can't. The opposition is always
watching. Always looking for a way to set me up, take me down, catch
me in something they can twist into a headline. I've accepted that.
There's no turning it off. There's no weekend where I stop being James
O'Keefe.

So I channel everything into the work. Into the training. Into the
mission. The kid they arrested in Louisiana is gone. In his place is
something their attacks created — a man who has been hit so many
times that he's stopped flinching. A man who walks into Antifa
headquarters in disguise with hidden cameras rolling. A man who flies
to Miami Beach to confront the traitor who shot a bullet through his
book. A man who goes back to Minneapolis after receiving a death
threat.

THEY WANTED TO BREAK ME. INSTEAD, THEY BUILT SOMETHING THEY CAN'T
BEAT.

And the results speak for themselves. This year alone, OMG
investigations have triggered $253 million in federal contracts being
suspended. We forced the Secret Service to suspend an agent who was
leaking the Vice President's security details. We've recorded seven
FBI and DOJ officials on hidden camera admitting the system is broken.
We've generated millions of views — not because we write opinion
columns, but because we show up with cameras where nobody else will.

That's what your donation buys. Not talk. Results.

I'M ASKING YOU TO STAND WITH ME TODAY [1]. Not because I need sympathy
— I don't. I NEED RESOURCES. [1]

$35 COVERS A BACKGROUND CHECK [1] before we send someone undercover.

$50 HELPS PAY FOR ENCRYPTED EQUIPMENT [1] that keeps our journalists
safe.

$100 FUNDS THE LEGAL REVIEW [1] that lets us publish what the powerful
want buried.

$250 HELPS US LAUNCH THE NEXT INVESTIGATION — [1] because we have
more targets than budget.

$500 OR MORE FUNDS A FULL DAY OF PROTECTED FIELD OPERATIONS. [1]

They arrested me at twenty-five. They raided me at thirty-seven. They
betrayed me from the inside. They sued me from every direction. And
here I am at forty-one — still standing, still fighting, and
stronger than I've ever been.

THE ONLY QUESTION IS WHETHER YOU'RE STANDING WITH ME.

Rush your best gift right now — $35, $50, $100, OR WHATEVER YOU CAN
[1]. Thank you for being part of something they can't stop.
 

In Truth,

P.S. Sixteen years ago they put me in handcuffs and thought that
would be the end of it. Then they raided my home. Then they turned a
board member into an informant. Then they sued me from every angle.
And every single time, I got back up. I'm not going anywhere. But I
need you in this fight. DONATE TODAY — ANY AMOUNT — AND STAND WITH
THE MAN THEY COULDN'T BREAK. [1]
 
STAND WITH OMG NOW [1]
