Today, Project Veritas released the first installment in an undercover videoinvestigation series unmasking the deep state. This video features a State Department employee, Stuart Karaffa, engaged in radical socialist political activity on the taxpayer’s dime, while advocating for resistance to official government policies. In addition to being a State Department employee Stuart Karaffa is also a ranking member of the Metro DC Democratic Socialists of America (Metro DC DSA.)
Metro DC DSA is a socialist group that works to advance progressive causes in the metropolitan DC area.
Socialist Activism at the State Department
Mr. Karaffa’s loyalties seem to be with DSA, not with his employer.
Karaffa told an undercover Project Veritas journalist that he performs DSA activism while at work for the State Department. He explained that he drafts DSA communications while on the job at State Department:
“… I’m careful about it. I don’t leave a paper trail, like I leave emails, and like any press s**t that comes up I leave that until after 5:30. But as soon as 5:31 hits, got my like draft messages ready to send out.”
Karaffa also admits that on behalf of DSA he monitors Virginia political news online while at work:
“You could put two and two together probably. With like web traffic…. So with web traffic, I mean I could make the case before a court of law that- I’m going to the Virginia sort of, campaign finance website- that I’m just interested in what people are doing politically. But if they also go and look at like DSA minutes and like Officer positions they’ll be like, ‘that’s weird, you were the co-chair of the electoral caucus, and you spent three hours on a Virginia campaign finance website.’”
Insufficient Oversight
Karaffa does not believe that he will be caught and punished by the appropriate authorities, saying, “Maybe someday I’ll go to board of elections jail, probably not.”
Karaffa does not seem to be concerned about disciplinary action from the State Department: “I have nothing to lose. It’s impossible to fire federal employees.” When asked if his supervisor at the State Department knows about his activism, Karaffa reveals that “nobody knows” about it.
Some government employees are required to regularly submit disclosure forms to help management identify any potential conflicts of interest that may interfere with job responsibilities. Despite disclosing his political activities and officer positions on his financial disclosure form, Karaffa alleges that:
“… somebody just rubber stamps [the form] and it goes forward… I don’t know if [the ethics officer is] all there. He’s so checked out…”
Resistance
In one exchange, Karaffa’s attitude towards the current administration’s official policies appears to conflict with his duty to be impartial as a State Department employee. Karaffa says:
“Resist everything… Every level. F**k sh*t up.”
Stuart Karaffa is just the first federal government employee that Project Veritas has recorded in an undercover series unmasking the deep state.
A rather small creature on the edge of the swamp, the smaller, they are the biggest braggarts, but like a roach he should be eliminated from our government.
Nothing to lose we shall see
Well, that’s why they INFILTRATE the government. Socialism is NOT loyal to America and it does not benefit America, so those who promote it do so AGAINST the interests of America.
There is NO oversight. It could be this worm’s boss is a socialist as well, but there is not accountability of managers to account for the performance of their employees. Under Obama, when lack of productivity resulted in more work load for others, they would simply hire more employees, further bloating government waste. This is also in the socialist playbook, to financially bankrupt the government to facilitate the conversion to socialism.
Right there is grounds to fire this turd. That is sabotage. Fire his ass and if any damage done can be traced back to his job, prosecute him. An example needs to be made for others.
Managers need to start giving their employees tasks and responsibilities and hold them accountable for their productivity. Then, hold managers accountable for the productivity of their departments. Wash, rinse, repeat.
@Deplorable me:
Marching orders from Kerry or Barry?
Im sure Google will hire him after he writes his book.
@kitt: Or Hillary? Seems some people still pay attention to that drunken bag of dirt.
Time to total’y can this miserble little weasel and give him a more suitible job as a janitor or sanitation worker jobs he can do because he is a pro at it all
And from the State Department he walked to the DOJ and HS to find more Gem employees paid by OUR tax dollars. https://www.projectveritas.com/2018/09/19/breaking-deep-state-unmasked-doj-official-resists-from-inside-cant-get-fired-leaks-at-hhs/
