O’Keefe was ousted from the undercover journalism organization Project Veritas earlier this year.
His new project is titled “O’Keefe Media Group,” which the funder describes as a citizen journalism organization.
He shared a tweet from his new venture’s Twitter account adding, “They have awakened a sleeping giant!
“My brand new movement O’Keefe Media Group will not just be me – It will include you.
“Let’s build this army and keep every statehouse, every city council, every school board, and everywhere people are conspiring to keep power, proactive…”

O’Keefe Media Group tweeted, “We are here to empower citizens through journalism. Subscribe & join us today!”
The tweet also includes a video in which O’Keefe highlights the ACORN story which catapulted him to notoriety.
Elsewhere in the video, he also addresses being ousted from Project Veritas.
He then states, “they have awakened the sleeping giant… I’m back.”
O’Keefe has a small group of elite journalists who have remained loyal to him throughout and will work with his new group.
“We will never be shut down,” he promises.
O’Keefe is asking for support in his effort to expose those in power.
The link in the tweet from O’Keefe Media goes to the website where you can subscribe for $200 a year or 19.99 a month.
The platform is set to launch on Independence Day.
After the launch, the annual subscription will increase to $240.
The website is also seeking those interested in investing in one of the founding member plans which vary in cost from $500 to $5,000.
The different levels show what the donation will provide for the new media group, and they all come with a one-year subscription to the service.
It seems O’Keefe is taking a different path with this new venture in an effort to maintain control of the group.
With the launch of the new platform set for July 4th, we will soon see what explosive exposés come next from O’Keefe.
