The Group Chat Had Names and Titles. Now So Does the Story.

They Celebrated the Assassination. They Work for You.

An eight-month undercover operation inside NJ BURN, the New Jersey Antifa Signal network, found OpenAI engineers, Rutgers directors, T-Mobile executives, Princeton seminary faculty, and an ACLU board member. They were not just members. They were active.

James O'Keefe's reporters spent eight months inside a private Signal group called NJ BURN. What they found is not a fringe. What they found is the infrastructure. And the people running it hold jobs at OpenAI, Rutgers University, T-Mobile, Princeton Theological Seminary, and the ACLU.

The chat logs are specific. Members of NJ BURN discussed port blockades. They discussed riot logistics. They discussed support networks for criminal defendants. They discussed road spikes and tire-slashing of New Jersey police vehicles. They called it "Ukrainian-style" protest tactics. And inside the same thread, they celebrated the murder of Charlie Kirk and expressed hope that past attempts on President Trump had been successful.

This is not an idea. It is a list of names. And those names connect to institutions that shape how Americans work, learn, receive legal representation, and build artificial intelligence systems.

"They celebrated Charlie Kirk's assassination and hoped that past attempts on President Trump were successful." The Signal logs do not lie. The employers need to answer.

Start with Woojin Ko. Ko is identified in the O'Keefe Media Group investigation as an OpenAI Research Engineer. OpenAI builds ChatGPT, the AI system now embedded in schools, hospitals, newsrooms, and federal agencies. Ko was inside NJ BURN. OpenAI has not commented.

Belkcacem Mouffouk works in AI Automation at T-Mobile. T-Mobile serves more than 100 million subscribers. Mouffouk was in the chat. T-Mobile has not commented.

Zainab Tanvir is the Imaging Director at Rutgers University, New Jersey's flagship public institution. Amanda Marie Dominguez is a Rutgers PhD student in the College of Education. Both are identified in the NJ BURN network. Rutgers has not commented.

Then there is the Reverend Shannon Smythe. Smythe is Field Education Director at Princeton Theological Seminary. That is not a marginal role. That is the person responsible for training the next generation of clergy, shaping how future ministers understand justice, community, and moral authority. Smythe was in the Signal group where members cheered political assassination.

Cres Vellucci is listed as a National Lawyers Guild co-founder and ACLU Board of Directors member. The NLG provides legal support to protesters and defendants across the country. The ACLU litigates civil liberties cases at the Supreme Court. Vellucci was in NJ BURN. The ACLU has not commented.

Jim Keady is a former New Jersey Democratic city councilman who ran for state office. He was in the group. His participation connects elected Democratic politics to a network that discussed slashing police tires and endorsed the murder of a political opponent.

Celine Semaan is co-founder of Slow Factory Labs, the NGO that has received funding from major foundations and built a following in progressive cultural and fashion circles. She was in NJ BURN. Slow Factory has not commented.

Aditi Rao is a Princeton classics graduate student. Alexyss P. sits on the community council of the New Jersey Coalition Against Sexual Assault. Both are identified in the network.

This is the geometry of American institutional capture. The network that discusses road spikes and police tire-slashing is not hiding in a basement. It is running AI research teams. It is directing field education at seminaries. It is sitting on ACLU boards. It is filing 990s and attending foundation galas. It is everywhere the country's cultural and technological infrastructure is built.

The question is not whether these individuals hold these positions. The records confirm they do. The question is what their employers knew, when they knew it, and what they intend to do now.

The same NJ BURN network connected to port blockades in New Jersey was active during the unrest at Delaney Hall, where activists confronted law enforcement and journalists outside a federal immigration detention facility. This is not coincidence. It is coordination. And the people coordinating are credentialed, employed, and institutionally protected.

O'Keefe used names, profile photos, and digital receipts to make these identifications. OMG has said it reached out to every employer and institution for comment before publication. As of this writing, none have responded on record.

That silence is its own answer. These institutions know what the investigation found. They are calculating whether the political cost of acknowledging it outweighs the cost of pretending they did not see it. They will run out the clock and hope the story moves on.

It will not move on. The names are documented. The chats are documented. The jobs are public. The only question left is whether Americans who fund these institutions through tuition, federal contracts, wireless bills, and charitable donations intend to demand an accounting.
