Blackwater founder Erik Prince arranged for political activist James O’Keefe’s conservative group Project Veritas to receive more than one round of “training in intelligence and elicitation techniques,” The Intercept reports. In 2016, the self-styled “guerrilla journalist” group reportedly got lessons from a retired military intelligence operative. The training lasted several weeks and ended with the operative, Euripides Rubio Jr., reportedly quitting because the group “wasn’t capable of learning.” In 2017, Prince next set Project Veritas up with a former British MI6 officer in hopes of turning the organization into “domestic spies,” according to report. At the time, O’Keefe posted social-media photos of the event at Prince’s Wyoming ranch, claiming he was training in “spying and self-defense” and planned to turn Project Veritas into “the next great intelligence agency.”

1. Sounds like another version of the Keystone Cops in the making... n/t

2. Holy shit. This is seriously epic incompetence.

I don't know what " intelligence and elicitation techniques" means, but it sounds like psychological tools to manipulate people and to detect lies. For that you need a sharp eye and an analytical mind. But if your mind is geared towards simply making shit up...

Also, it's maybe a bad idea to post online that you're a spy now.

3. I'm just waiting for O'Keefe, Project Veritas and Jacob Wohl's incompetence to merge

5. Jacob Wohl's incompetence is fairly well documented!

He's tried and failed twice to take down Mueller and now Pete Buttigieg. And Project Veritas has been caught spying on multiple occasions.

4. These are the guys Trump wanted to sell the Afghan War to...

6. O'Keefe is a moron

Prince strikes me as smart, competent, slick and evil.

I think he failed his training

7. What kind of family names two people

"Euripides Rubio Jr.?"

8. Intelligence Agency?

More like Prince's court jester. What a joke. Maybe they can all team up with Silk and Diamond to infiltrate a sideshow circus.
