***Dr. Lorraine Day – “The Deliberate Destruction of America”
WWaking the World up***MUST SEE *** **Bombshell after Bombshell!** Dr. Lorraine Day – former CDC Advisor: “The Plan is Population Extermination.” More great quotes from this video: “The CDC are all liars.” “Vaccines are made to maim and kill you, even the ones for children.” “Nobody needs a Vaccine for ANYTHING.” “We will know our programming is complete when everything Americans believe is a lie.” “Chemotherapy causes cancer. Radiation causes cancer. Why are they treating cancer with treatments that cause cancer.” “Beef, Poultry and Fish contain no water and no fiber, they cause constipation, dehydration, malnutrition and disease.” “The Noahide Laws – were signed in the 1990’s – Idolatry is a Crime and who decides this is a crime? The Jews. So, what is Idolatry? Worship of Jesus Christ. The Punishment is beheading.” “There hasn’t been an unrigged election for probably 60 years.” “Michelle Obama is a transgender. Michelle is a man.” “Doctors never cure anybody of anything of disease, they only give them drugs which actually makes them worse in the long run or they cut off their body parts or organs.” “We have been captured by another nation, a foreign Pagan nation which is the Jewish Illuminati combined with the high level Freemasons.” Summary: Dr. Lorraine Day presents findings of a conspiracy to destroy America and the world. Dr. Lorraine Day survived 4th Stage Metastatic Terminal Cancer back in 1993, because she was a doctor she knew doctors don’t know anything about cancer and they sure can’t cure it, so she chose Alternative Therapy which cured her and saved her life. She said she followed “God’s Laws.” From terminal cancer to 30 plus years cancer free. Dr. Day is an avid reader, who started reading at the age of 4 and has a book collection of over 4,000 books. Dr. Day is an internationally acclaimed orthopedic trauma surgeon and best selling author who was for 15 years on the faculty of the University of California, San Francisco, School of Medicine as Associate Professor and Vice Chairman of the Department of Orthopedics. She was also Chief of Orthopedic Surgery at San Francisco General Hospital and is recognized world-wide as an AIDS expert. She discovered the Government was lying about AIDS and quickly realized that the “Pandemic” was a “Plandemic.” She lectured extensively throughout the U.S. and the world and appeared on numerous radio and television shows including 60 minutes, Nightline, CNN Crossfire, Oprah Winfrey, Larry King Live, The 700 Club, John Ankerberg Show, USA Radio Network, Art Bell Radio Show, Three Angels Broadcasting Network and Trinity Broadcasting Network. Dr. Day goes over a lot in this interview which I believe was about six months prior to her death. Dr. Day was a former advisor of the CDC until she learned they were all liars. She wrote a book: “The Coming of a New World Order” and she says most has come true already. Dr. Day says they destroyed the Georgia Guidestones because it flat out said what there plan was and that was the implementation or activation of the Depopulation Plan. They give us a puppet president that is a fraud. Obama’s mother and grandmother were Jewish and worked for the CIA. Obama was a fraud also. The Dominion Election Machines have been controlled for DECADES. There are going to be Wars, Diseases and Famines – says Dr. Lorraine Day. Vaccines are made to maim and kill you, even the ones for children. Nobody needs a vaccine for anything. Dr. Lorraine Day says that the word Jew was added to the bible. AI – Is AI the Beast and is it programmed to lie? Will it be the Father of Lies?? Will it make all decisions for humans? The Rothschild’s run the City of London and they control ALL the Money, which Dr. Day says is the real Beast. The first Beast is Political and Money Control and the second Beast is controlling Religion. Dr. Day: The USA set up China as a Communist Country. The USA set up Russia as a communist country. It was all a plan to make those countries communists and to send them the manufacturing and to set it up to come and take ALL of our jobs and destroy America. She says “they all are in it together, this was a plan.” It is our government that is destroying our farmland, poisoning our water and food. The enemy is our own government. Most of the leaders of the World were Educated to be Leaders under Klaus Schwab – and that is to destroy all nations to make a One World Order or the New World Order. Dr. Day says Viruses do not exist – which I totally disagree with – 100% disagree, but I do agree with 90% of what she says. Dr. Day says that the government might try to give the population Nuclear Radiation “Medication” in case there is a nuclear war and that will be a trick. It’s all about population extermination. Who is the enemy? The GOVERNMENT. It is all about getting rid of us. Zelensky and Putin are in all of this together. They plan on Famine. There is a reason that Bill Gates is buying up all the land. They kill you with the Vaccines and the Medications. Chemotherapy causes cancer. Radiation causes cancer. Why are they treating cancer with treatments that cause cancer. Beef, Poultry and Fish contain no water and no fiber, they cause constipation, dehydration, malnutrition and disease. Dr. Day: “The word Jew is not in the Bible.” What is next in this world: “15 minute cities, more pandemics like Marburg or Bird Flu and more killing.” There is no literal hell. God would never burn another man alive. “The Noahide Laws – were signed in the 1990’s – Idolatry is a Crime and who decides this is a crime? The Jews. So, what is Idolatry? Worship of Jesus Christ. The Punishment is beheading.” *Comment: Maybe that’s why the US Gov ordered all the Guillotines from China and Mexico. The FEMA Camps all have guillotines. Was developed by the controllers in the very beginning? Yes, Washington D.C. was built by Freemasons. We never really received our sovereignty. What does Lorrain think of Trump? He is controlled opposition. Real name Drumpf. Dr. Lorraine Day says that they can’t make Nuclear Weapons but can make nuclear energy. *Comment: Trump exposed himself in his first term by who he chose to run his administration – all horrible swamp creatures. His allegiance is to Israel. For those believing that Trump had to put them in his admin to expose them – OMG, LOL, you need to wake up. He is controlled opposition 100%. He was on a mainstream TV program called “The Apprentice” for a reason. Wake up. Dr. Day: “There hasn’t been an unrigged election for probably 60 years.” Both the democrats and republicans are evil. Michelle Obama is a transgender. Michelle is a man. The Khazarian Mafia? They are Ashkenzazi Jews, there were the Gentiles who converted to Judaism – the book The 13th Tribe explains this. Doctors never cure anybody of anything of disease, they only give them drugs which actually makes them worse in the long run or they cut off their body parts or organs. Project Blue Beam – they can fake an alien invasion and fake the coming of Christ. The One World Government has been planned for hundreds of years. Dr. Day: “We have been captured by another nation, a foreign Pagan nation which is the Jewish Illuminati combined with the high level Freemasons.” Dr. Lorraine Day passed away late last year, November 10, 2023. She was a truther. I believe this was one her final interviews, about six months before her passing. Source: 1.

The "Sick Fantasies" of the CIA and the Cult of Intelligence: The First Book Censored by the CIA
The Memory HoleRead more about the CIA: https://thememoryhole.substack.com/ Victor Marchetti was a former special assistant to the Deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and an author known for his critical stance on the agency. After working at the CIA for over a decade, he became increasingly disillusioned with its operations and policies. This disillusionment led him to resign in 1969 and later co-author a book titled The CIA and the Cult of Intelligencewith John D. Marks, which was published in 1974. The book is a critical exposé of the CIA's activities, focusing on what Marchetti and Marks saw as the agency's excessive secrecy, its involvement in covert operations, and its influence on U.S. foreign policy. It was one of the first books to provide a detailed inside look at the inner workings of the CIA and to question its impact on American democracy and international relations. Secrecy and Accountability: The book argues that the CIA operates with a level of secrecy that is dangerous to democratic accountability. Marchetti and Marks suggest that this secrecy allows the agency to conduct operations without adequate oversight from Congress or the public. Covert Operations: Marchetti and Marks describe various covert operations undertaken by the CIA, including attempts to influence foreign governments, conduct psychological warfare, and engage in paramilitary activities. They criticize these operations for often being morally and ethically dubious, and for sometimes having unintended and harmful consequences. Manipulation of Intelligence: The authors discuss how the CIA manipulates intelligence to serve its own ends or the political goals of the administration in power. This manipulation can lead to misinformation and misguided policies. Influence on Foreign Policy: The book highlights the significant influence the CIA has on U.S. foreign policy, often acting as a clandestine arm of the government that can shape international events in ways that are not always in line with the publicly stated values and interests of the United States. The CIA and the Cult of Intelligenceis notable not only for its content but also for the legal battles it sparked. Before its publication, the CIA demanded that numerous passages be deleted or altered, citing national security concerns. Marchetti and Marks fought these demands, but ultimately, many parts of the book were censored. The final version contains blank spaces where the CIA's redactions were made, highlighting the extent of the agency's intervention. The publication of the book, despite the censorship, was a significant moment in the debate over the CIA's role and the balance between national security and transparency. It contributed to a broader public and congressional scrutiny of intelligence agencies during the 1970s, leading to reforms and greater oversight, such as the establishment of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. Victor Leo Marchetti Jr. (December 23, 1929 – October 19, 2018)[1] was a special assistant to the Deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency who later became a prominent critic of the United States Intelligence Community and the Israel lobby in the United States.[2] Early life and background Marchetti was born in Hazleton, Pennsylvania.[3] From 1951 to 1953, he served as a corporal in U.S. Army Intelligence in France and Germany.[4] Returning to the United States after his military service, he enrolled in Pennsylvania State University, where he majored in Russian area studies, graduating with a bachelor's degree in history in 1955.[4] CIA career External audio audio icon "Looking at the CIA."

After a few months working as an analyst at the National Security Agency, Marchetti joined the CIA in October 1955.[4] He began his career as an analyst in the Office of Research and Reports, eventually serving a tour of duty in the Office of National Estimates (ONE).[5] From ONE, Marchetti moved to the Office of Planning, Programming, and Budgeting in 1966, where he worked for over two years.[5] Beginning in July 1968, he served for nine months as special assistant to CIA Deputy Director Rufus Taylor.[5] His final position in the Agency was on the Planning, Programming, and Budget Staff of the National Photographic Interpretation Center.[5] Among other projects with which he was involved, Marchetti worked on setting up the Pine Gap satellite ground station near Alice Springs in Central Australia.[6] In September 1969, Marchetti resigned from the CIA.[5] Writing career After leaving the CIA, Marchetti began a writing career. His first work was a novel, The Rope-Dancer, published in 1971. The plot involves an officer in the "National Intelligence Agency" who becomes a spy for the Soviet Union.[7] In a 2004 article for American Intelligence Journal, Jon Wiant, career member of the Department of State's Senior Executive Service and a faculty member of the Joint Military Intelligence College, reported a 1991 conversion with retired KGB General Oleg Kalugin in which the latter told him that Rope Dancer is assigned as required reading for every KGB officer assigned to the United States.[8] Kalugin believed the novel was an excellent primer in American counterintelligence doctrine.[8] External audio audio icon "The CIA and Dirty Tricks."

Marks, Bella Abzug, Phillip Agee. Los Angeles: Pacifica Radio Archives. PRA KZ1146.01. During public appearances promoting the novel, Marchetti announced that he was writing a non-fiction work about the CIA. In March 1972, he completed a draft of an article for Esquire which, according to a later CIA account, included "names of agents, relations with named governments, and identifying details of ongoing operations."[5] The CIA received a copy of the article and decided to seek an injunction against its publication.[5] The basis for seeking an injunction against Marchetti was the secrecy agreement which he had signed when beginning employment at the CIA. The CIA presented the agreement and the parts of the draft article it considered in violation of the agreement, to Judge Albert V. Bryan, Jr. of the US District Court for Eastern Virginia, who granted a temporary restraining order in April 1972. The case proceeded to trial, at which Bryan found for the CIA and issued a permanent injunction requiring Marchetti to submit his writings to CIA for review prior to publication.[9] Marchetti appealed the injunction to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, which upheld Bryan's restraint but limited it to classified material. The appeals court also found that Marchetti was entitled to timely review of materials he submitted to the CIA.[10] Marchetti appealed again to the US Supreme Court, but the Court rejected Marchetti's appeal in December 1972.[11] Marchetti continued work on his book with a co-author, John D. Marks, and signed a book contract with publisher Alfred A. Knopf. In August 1973, they submitted their manuscript to the CIA.[12] After reviewing the manuscript, the Agency responded with a list of 339 passages which it claimed contained classified information and demanded their deletion.[12] Marchetti and Marks rejected the demand and indicated they would go to court in order to print the manuscript as written. The CIA then withdrew its objections to 171 of the items but stood firm on the remaining 168.[13] The trial was held again before Judge Bryan. This time, however, he rejected all but 26 of the deletions requested by the CIA on the grounds that the information in them was not properly or provably classified. The CIA appealed Bryan's ruling, and ultimately the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld all 168 of the deletions.[14] The book was published by Knopf in 1974 as The CIA and the Cult of Intelligence.[15] It was printed with blanks for deleted passages and boldface type for the 171 deletions which CIA originally requested and later withdrew.[16] Later writing In 1978, Marchetti published an article about the JFK assassination in the far-right newspaper of the antisemitic[17] Liberty Lobby, The Spotlight. Marchetti, a proponent of the organized crime and the CIA conspiracy theory, claimed that the House Select Committee on Assassinations revealed a CIA memo from 1966 that named E. Howard Hunt, Frank Sturgis and Gerry Patrick Hemming in the JFK assassination. Marchetti also claimed that Marita Lorenz offered sworn testimony to confirm this. The HSCA reported that it had not received such a memo and rejected theories that Hunt was involved in a plot to kill Kennedy.[18] In 1981, Hunt sued the Liberty Lobby and Marchetti for defamation and won $650,000 in damages. Liberty Lobby, represented by attorney Mark Lane, appealed the verdict. On February 1, 1985, Marchetti stated that key parts of his articles were based upon rumors that he heard from Penthouse columnist Bill Corson and that he had no corroboration of Corson's story.[18] Corson had provided an earlier deposition stating that he not discussed the rumors with Marchetti.[18] Marchetti and Liberty Lobby won the appeal in 1985.[19] Commenting afterward, two jurors rejected that the conspiracy theories offered by Lane influenced the verdict.[19] Lane's 1991 book Plausible Denial, develops the claims he presented in the trial. In 1989, Marchetti presented a paper on the CIA at the Ninth International Revisionist Conference held by the Holocaust denial organisation Institute for Historical Review (IHR).[2] Marchetti edited the New American View newsletter,[20] which described its aim as to "document for patriotic Americans... the excess of pro-Israelism, which warps the news we see and hear from our media, cows our Congress into submission, and has already cost us hundreds of innocent, young Americans in Lebanon and elsewhere."[2] He also co-published the Zionist Watch newsletter with Mark Lane, and published ADL and Zionism, by Paul Goldstein and Jeffrey Steinberg, who were both closely associated with the LaRouche movement.[2][21] Personal life and death [icon] This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (September 2019) Marchetti suffered from dementia in his last years. He died at his home in Ashburn, Virginia at the age of 88 on October 19, 2018.[22] Filmography Inside Pine Gap (1997) Inside the CIA: On Company Business (1980) The JFK Conspiracy: Final Analysis (1992) "You Have Used Me as a Fish Long Enough" (Part 2).

KennedyWriters from PennsylvaniaAmerican conspiracy theorists The CIA and the Cult of Intelligence is a 1974 controversial non-fiction political book written by Victor Marchetti, a former special assistant to the Deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, and John D. Marks, a former officer of the United States Department of State.[1] Content The book discusses how the CIA works and how its original purpose (i.e. collecting and analyzing information about foreign governments, corporations, and persons in order to advise public policymakers) has, according to the author, been subverted by its obsession with clandestine operations. It is the first book the federal government of the United States ever went to court to censor before its publication. The CIA demanded the authors delete 339 passages but they resisted and in the end only 168 passages were deleted.[2] The publisher, Alfred A. Knopf, published the book with blanks for deleted passages and with boldface type for items which the CIA initially wanted deleted, but later withdrew its objections.[3] It is perhaps the earliest published book to adopt this format.[4] The book was a critically acclaimed bestseller whose publication contributed to the establishment of the Church Committee, a United States Senate select committee to study governmental operations with respect to intelligence activities, in 1975.[citation needed] The book was published in paperback by Dell Publishing in 1975. Cult of intelligence Victor Marchetti used the expression "cult of intelligence" to denounce what he viewed as a counterproductive mindset and culture of secrecy, elitism, amorality and lawlessness within and surrounding the Central Intelligence Agency in the service of American imperialism: There exists in our nation today a powerful and dangerous secret cult -- the cult of intelligence. Its holy men are the clandestine professionals of the Central Intelligence Agency. Its patrons and protectors are the highest officials of the federal government. Its membership, extending far beyond governmental circles, reaches into the power centers of industry, commerce, finance, and labor. Its friends are many in the areas of important public influence -- the academic world and the communications media. The cult of intelligence is a secret fraternity of the American political aristocracy. The purpose of the cult is to further the foreign policies of the U.S. government by covert and usually illegal means, while at the same time containing the spread of its avowed enemy, communism. Traditionally, the cult's hope has been to foster a world order in which America would reign supreme, the unchallenged international leader. Today, however, that dream stands tarnished by time and frequent failures. Thus, the cult's objectives are now less grandiose, but no less disturbing. It seeks largely to advance America's self-appointed role as the dominant arbiter of social, economic, and political change in the awakening regions of Asia, Africa, and Latin America. And its worldwide war against communism has to some extent been reduced to a covert struggle to maintain a self-serving stability in the Third World, using whatever clandestine methods are available.[1] Critical reception In his 1978 memoir, Honorable Men: My Life in the CIA, William Colby, a former Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, endorsed Marchetti's critique and adopted the use of the expression "cult of intelligence": Socially as well as professionally they cliqued together, forming a sealed fraternity. They ate together at their own special favorite restaurants; they partied almost only among themselves; their families drifted to each other, so their defenses did not always have to be up. In this way they increasingly separated themselves from the ordinary world and developed a rather skewed view of that world. Their own dedicated double life became the proper norm, and they looked down on the life of the rest of the citizenry. And out of this grew what was later named -- and condemned -- as the "cult" of intelligence, an inbred, distorted, elitist view of intelligence that held it to be above the normal processes of society, with its own rationale and justification, beyond the restraints of the Constitution, which applied to everything and everyone else.[5] In popular culture In reaction to Marchetti's use of the expression "cult of intelligence", it has also come to be used by some writers of conspiracy theory and conspiracy fiction to describe a cabal, with a pyramid-shaped hierarchy, which is fanatically devoted to gathering information, often of an esoteric or occult nature.[6][page needed] References Marchetti, Victor; Marks, John D.
