Rather than rejecting the illegal offer, both councilmen agreed to meet our journalist to retrieve the imaginary illegal ballots. August Gitschlag, a Michigan certified election official with nearly a decade of experience as Hamtramck’s city clerk, explained to a Project Veritas journalist how voter fraud occurs through intimidation and threats. Americans are regularly told there is ‘no systemic voter fraud in elections’, and yet these elected Democrats explain the way in which Democrat factions out-fraud one another to gain power.

“When a court silences journalism, it fails its citizens and undermines their right to know,” he added. “The Supreme Court made that clear in the Pentagon Papers case, a landmark ruling against prior restraint blocking the publication of newsworthy journalism. That principle clearly applies here. We are seeking an immediate review of this decision.” Project Veritas arranged a meeting with Councilman Abu Musa to play him the audio recordings detailing these allegations of voter fraud and secret ballot auctions. When confronted with the claims, Musa did not deny the existence of the “midnight meeting,” but in fact claimed fellow councilman Hassan had admitted to an illegal purchase of 300 ballots in 2023. Prominent media figures and government officials insist that election fraud is a myth.
Votes for Sale: Progressive Democrats Say Muslims Used Voter Fraud to Secure Power in Michigan
Two former Project Veritas employees identified that woman as an ex-Project Veritas journalist who has reportedly organized rallies for followers of the QAnon conspiracy theory. Throughout the encounter, that woman and the other man were deferential and apologetic to the officers. He called her a child, told her to “grow the f–k up” and then said she was fired.
Judge Temporarily Blocks New York Times From Publishing Project Veritas Materials
Project Veritas investigates and exposes corruption, dishonesty, self-dealing, waste, fraud, and other misconduct in both public and private institutions to achieve a more ethical and transparent society. The Michigan Democratic primary is on August 6th and Councilman Mohammed Hassan hopes to advance from city council to become commissioner of Wayne County’s 3rd district. Musa, who has also faced questions over his residency status in Hamtramck, will not face reelection until 2025. Hamtramck Democrats apparently fear allegations of racism and discrimination if they bring attention to election fraud coordinated by Bangladeshi and Yemeni ethnic minorities. Progressives who once eagerly welcomed Middle Eastern immigrants now express a feeling of betrayal and fear that their progressive LGBTQ sanctuary may be lost forever as Muslim politicians appear to perfect the use of voter fraud. Sulzberger said the decision barred the Times from publishing newsworthy information that was obtained legally in the ordinary course of reporting.
Hamtramck’s Democrat officials admitted to Project Veritas that ethnic minorities have been using absentee ballot fraud to win city elections for over twenty years. But it was the election of Conservative Yemeni Muslims to the mayorship and council in 2021 which put an end to 100 years of continuous Polish political power. Locals expressed to our journalists that life under Muslim leadership isn’t the Democrat unity that many had hoped. The growing influx of Arab immigrants means that burqas, animal sacrifice, and the Muslim call to prayer blasting through city loudspeakers five times a day is now common. Hamtramck’s first woman mayor told our journalist she is “absolutely positive” she was ballot harvested out of office.
Times lawyers told Wood he should not impose a “draconian and disfavored restriction” against publication without giving the newspaper a chance to show that Project Veritas’ request was “factually and legally deficient.” Project Veritas’ investigation began in 2023 when the newly-elected Muslim leadership banned the LGBTQ pride flag on city property. We spoke to dozens of locals, Democrat officials, and liberal activists who all described how Muslim politicians are using illegal ballot harvesting operations to secure permanent power. Under Michigan law, ballot harvesting and the handling of multiple ballots has been illegal. In an unusual written ruling, Justice Charles Wood of the Westchester County Supreme Court directed The New York Times to return to Project Veritas any physical copies of legal memos prepared by one of the group’s lawyers, and to destroy electronic versions.
The editorial board of the newspaper published a Christmas Eve opinion article slamming the decision by Wood. It pointed to the legal battle between The New York Times and the Nixon administration as the precedent that the newspaper argues should have been followed in this case. In 1971, the watershed case of New York Times Co. v. United States established that the government must show a “grave and irreparable” danger before preventing the news media from reporting information—known legally as a prior restraint of the press. In a stunning two-page order, a state court judge ordered the New York Times not to publish or disseminate any of Project Veritas’s “privileged materials,” despite longstanding U.S. Supreme Court precedent against prior restraint of the press dating back to the time of the Pentagon Papers. Wood said in Friday’s ruling that the Project Veritas legal memos were not a matter of public concern and that the group has a right to keep them private that outweighs concerns about freedom of the press.
It said in court filings that the FBI this month seized cellphones, pursuant to search warrants, from the homes of founder James O’Keefe and two of the group’s former members. Supreme Court’s 1971 rejection of the Nixon administration’s bid to stop the Times and The Washington Post from publishing the Pentagon Papers, which detailed U.S. military involvement in Vietnam. The order by Justice Charles Wood of the Westchester County Supreme Court covers memos written by a Project Veritas lawyer and obtained by the Times. “It is a restraint of what can be published before there has been a ruling on the merits,” he noted.
- But after a decade of successful election fraud investigations leading to arrests and voting law changes, Project Veritas is determined to uncover the truth of these allegations in Democrat-ruled Hamtramck, and once again document systemic voter fraud.
- The mayor’s office didn’t respond by publication time to a request by The Epoch Times for comment.
- Soon after the police officers arrived, they were met by a member of the hotel’s staff who explained why they wanted to evict the group.
- Progressives who once eagerly welcomed Middle Eastern immigrants now express a feeling of betrayal and fear that their progressive LGBTQ sanctuary may be lost forever as Muslim politicians appear to perfect the use of voter fraud.
- Free speech advocates and the prominent New York newspaper decried the ruling, with the publication vowing to appeal.
Along with its rezoning plan, the council secured commitments from the municipal government for a $498.5 million investment in critical infrastructure in those districts. “In 2008, she was locked in a room crying being involved in a male-dominated sport as the only woman, and it took great courage for her to continue on and fight for her opportunity to participate in a sport that she loved,” Meares said. Australian Olympic great Anna Meares says the social media mocking of a breaker for her routine and choice of clothing is “really disappointing”. He said the group was planning to “infiltrate” the upcoming pro-Palestinian rallies, according to a police report. “So the long and short of it is, we’re in town to do undercover journalism on a pro-Palestinian rally that is going on in Dearborn and there is another one in Detroit next weekend,” he said.
Wood first extended a ban on The New York Times publishing memos between Project Veritas and its attorney in November. The newspaper and others quickly argued that the ruling violated the First Amendment. Free speech advocates and the prominent New York newspaper decried the ruling, with the publication vowing to appeal.
But Adams and lawyers for his administration argued that, by law, oversight of social services was a prerogative of the state and the municipal agencies to which the state delegated this power, not the council. The security director said he and the other security guard spent the day “doing reconnaissance” and then they met up with the journalists who had flown in that evening, according to the video footage. The two security guys went to bed but he was awakened by a phone call from the journalists’ boss, whose name was bleeped out in the bodycam video.
“Even though it’s only an interim order, it is clearly a prior restraint, and it strikes at the very heart of the First Amendment protection of the U.S. to publish,” Epner said in a phone interview. Attorney Libby Locke, who represents Project Veritas, called it “utter nonsense” to brand the order a prior restraint. Council member Rafael Salamanca, chair of the council’s committee on land use, said the vote and allocation of funds have special meaning for him as a lifelong Bronx resident. Gunn appeared to agree with Meares’ sentiment, as she questioned whether male counterparts would be met with the same level of outrage for their clothing choices. Rachael Gunn, 36, failed to win over the judges as she lost her three round-robin contests in the competitive form of breakdancing by an aggregate score of 54-0 on Friday. “Honestly, if I could just, like, have my keys, I’d be f—ing fine with you f—–s, but I’m not,” she said, using a homophobic slur.
A New York state judge on Friday ordered The New York Times to return internal documents to the conservative activist group Project Veritas, something the newspaper said violates decades of First Amendment protections. New York State Supreme Court Justice Charles D. Wood in Westchester County made the ruling on Thursday, releasing it on Friday. A New York trial judge on Thursday temporarily blocked The New York Times from publishing some materials concerning the conservative activist group Project Veritas, a rare step that the newspaper said violated decades of First Amendment protections. The Times previously broke the news of the FBI searches of homes of Project Veritas staffers, including O’Keefe’s. The Reporters Committee for the Free Press recently filed a motion in a federal court asking a judge to “unseal the search warrant application, supporting affidavit, return, and any other related judicial documents filed in connection with the search warrant” for the O’Keefe raid. Constitutional validity,’ ‘may be imposed only in the most exceptional cases,’ and can only be issued ‘upon a showing on the record that such expression will immediately and irreparably create public injury,’” Kurtzberg wrote on Thursday, shortly before the judge’s decision.
“You guys are all being weak motherf—ers,” Spadone said to one of the women. “You trying to intimidate me right now makes you look like a f—ing f—-t,” he said to one of the officers, using a homophobic slur. When the officers entered the second room, they found Spadone lying on the bed. The officers warned him that he would be arrested for trespassing if he didn’t leave, but Spadone continued jawing at them. Soon after the police officers arrived, they were met by a member of the hotel’s staff who explained why they wanted to evict the group.
“This ruling is unconstitutional and sets a dangerous precedent,” Dean Baquet, the Times’ executive editor, said in an emailed statement. “The public and the press have a strong interest in access to these materials, which should provide information about the government’s justification for the search,” RCFP Executive Director Bruce Brown previously said in a statement. Project Veritas is a non-profit investigative news organization conducting undercover reporting.
Outside the hotel, several minutes passed as the group, now joined by its director of security, waited for an Uber. The journalist complained that the officers weren’t letting her back into the hotel to find her car keys. Despite the legacy media’s claims that widespread voter fraud doesn’t exist, Gitschlag, a Michigan Democrat has seen it up close, even confronting the corruption within his own party. “I’ve busted other Democrats… I got three people busted back in 2013,” he said. The Times had not faced any prior restraint since 1971, when the Nixon administration unsuccessfully sought to block the publication of the Pentagon Papers detailing U.S. military involvement in Vietnam. Bruce Brown, executive director of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, called the November decision “deeply troubling.” He suggested it was “among the most grievous threats to the First Amendment.”
