President Trump just exposed Arthur Schlesinger’s full 15-page memo calling for JFK to break up the CIA in 1961.

Schlesinger called the CIA a rogue “state within a state.”

“No one knows how many potential problems … are being created by CIA clandestine operations.”

🧵THREAD Image

Schlesinger: “The contemporary CIA possesses many of the characteristics of a state within a state.”

“There is no doctrine governing our conduct of clandestine operations.”

Schlesinger slammed the idea that the CIA should “fight fire with fire” to defeat communism.

“If fighting fire with fire means contracting the freedoms traditionally enjoyed by Americans in order to give more freedom to the CIA, no one seriously wishes to do that.”Image
Image
Schlesinger: “CIA operations have not been held effectively subordinate to US foreign policy.”

“In short, no one knows how many potential problems for US foreign policy — and how much potential friction with friendly states — are being created at this moment by CIA clandestine intelligence operations.”Image
In practice, Schlesinger told JFK, the State Department had become a “rubber stamp” for CIA clandestine operations.

“The concept of ‘contingency planning’ has legitimized the concrete preparation of operations still presumably in a hypothetical stage.”

“If a group is assembled and revved up on a contingency basis, then the failure to carry the project through (it is argued) will invite the disappointment and alienation of the group.”Image
“CIA has effectively ‘made’ policy in many parts of the world.”

“A number of governments still in power know that they have been targets of CIA attempts at overthrow — not a state of mind calculated to stimulate friendly feelings toward” the US.

Schlesinger recalled Assistant Secretary of State for Inter-American Affairs Thomas C. Mann’s reaction to the botched Bay of Pigs invasion:

“I would never have favored initiating this operation, but, since it has gone as far as it has, I do not think we can risk calling it off.”Image
Image
Schlesinger proposed that JFK de-couple the CIA’s clandestine operations from its research and analysis work.

“If intelligence is too closely connected with operations, then those committed to a particular operation will tend to select out the intelligence which validates the operation.”Image
Image
In conclusion, Schlesinger proposed “a drastic overhaul of the State Department” to rein in CIA clandestine operations.

“The State Department would be granted general clearance authority over all clandestine activity.”

Schlesinger also proposed splitting the CIA into two agencies, one for clandestine and paramilitary activities and another for information collection and analysis.Image
Image
One month after JFK’s assassination, former President Harry Truman echoed Schlesinger’s fears outlined in this 1961 memo.

“There is something about the way the CIA has been functioning that is casting a shadow over our historic position.”

Truman wrote that he set up the CIA to streamline information-gathering.

“At times, the intelligence reports tended to be slanted to conform to established positions of a given department.”

But between his presidency and JFK’s, Truman witnessed a change in the CIA.

“For some time I have been disturbed by the way CIA has been diverted from its original assignment.”

“It has become an operational and at times a policy-making arm of the Government.”

“I never had any thought that when I set up the CIA that it would be injected into peacetime cloak and dagger operations.”

Truman called for the termination of the CIA’s “operational duties” and the restoration of the agency to its “original assignment as the intelligence arm of the President.”Image

Calley Means just exposed that an NIH official is working to subvert MAHA from the inside.

Are anti-MAHA bureaucrats trying to intentionally sabotage President Trump and RFK’s reforms?

🧵THREAD
Calley Means gave an interview today at Semafor’s World Economy Summit 2025.

Big Food and Pharma lobbyists were leaving the room as he exposed the corporate capture of science, the media, and government.

But right near the end, he dropped a bombshell.🧵 Image
Lobbyists started walking out of his interview almost immediately.

Calley Means: “I think one of the America Beverage people just walked out.”

Then, he slammed them for attempting to manipulate the Trump Administration into blocking MAHA.

“I know a lot of you guys are calling the Administration … to use the economic argument as a cudgel to have policies that—they actually agree—are poisoning kids.”

“The pharmaceutical industry says that we can afford $1,000 a month per child who’s obese of Medicaid funding for Ozempic …

… but also on the other hand that we can’t afford to not poison our children with school lunches.”

RFK Jr. and FDA chief Dr. Marty Makary just BANNED all petroleum food dyes.

“For the last 50 years, American children have been living in a toxic soup of synthetic chemicals.”

This is exactly what Big Food CEOs were so afraid of. 🔥

🧵THREAD Image
Today’s announcement is exactly what MAHA moms voted for.

Independents, Republicans, Democrats and Libertarians united to deliver the Trump-Kennedy coalition to D.C.

Now, the MAHA team is delivering victory after win.

Today is their boldest move yet.🧵
FDA chief Dr. Marty Makary pledged that petroleum-based food dyes will be REMOVED from all US food and medicine.

“For the last 50 years, American children have been living in a toxic soup of synthetic chemicals.”

“41% of children have at least one health condition, and 1 in 5 are on medication.”

“The answer is not more Ozempic, more ADHD medication and more antidepressants.”

“Cancer and diabetes in young people is going up at an alarming rate, and nobody seems to know why.”

“We have to turn our attention to underlying causes, such as chemicals and toxins that children are exposed to, not just more insulin and chemotherapy.”

The truth about Atlantis and the pyramids was revealed in 1925.

“Down sank Atlantis beneath the dark waves … ”

The Great Pyramid is 36,000 years old.

A spaceship is buried under the Sphinx.

Thoth the Atlantean wrote the whole story on Emerald Tablets.

Allegedly.

🧵THREAD Image
Image
The Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean were published by occultist Maurice Doreal in the 1940s-1950s.

Doreal alleged that he found the Tablets in the Great Pyramid of Giza in 1925, which he translated from an ancient Atlantean language.

He claimed that in 1931, he met two descendents of Atlantis who brought him to an underground cave beneath Mount Shasta in California before he published the Tablets.Image
Image
The Emerald Tablets of Thoth, the Atlantean Priest-King, allegedly date back 36,000 years.

The Tablets tell the origin story of the Great Pyramid of Giza, built by Thoth after the fall of Atlantis.

Thoth raised Atlantis to a “high degree of civilization” during his rule from 50,000 B.C. to 36,000 B.C. How he could have lived and ruled for 16,000 years will be explained in the Tablets.

In an “age of darkness” after Thoth’s passing, he was “deified as the God of Wisdom” and “The Recorder.” The Halls of Amenti that he describes in these Tablets became known as the underworld.

Thoth has incarnated three times, “in his last being known as Hermes, the thrice-born.”

Around 1,300 B.C., priests from the pyramids of Egypt, once known as “the ancient Khem,” took the Tablets to the descendents of other Atlantean colonies in South America.

They brought the Tablets to the Mayans, “who remembered much of the ancient wisdom,” and placed the Tablets “beneath the altar of one of the great temples of the Sun God.”

The Sun is key to the story told in Thoth’s Tablets.

In 1925, the Tablets were recovered and returned to the Great Pyramid in Egypt, at which time they were translated and a copy was saved for publication.

The Tablets are “emerald green, formed from a substance created through alchemical transmutation.”

“They are imperishable, resistant to all elements and substances.”

The characters on the Tablets are “engraved characters in the ancient Atlantean language,” but they are not read in the same way as our modern languages.

The characters “respond to attuned thought waves, releasing the associated mental vibration in the mind of the reader,” similar to how people today claim to communicate with extraterrestrials and spiritual entities.

“Read. Believe or not, but read. And the vibration found therein will awaken a response in your soul!”Image

FDA chief Dr. Marty Makary just announced a tsunami of groundbreaking reforms.

Big Pharma insiders will be removed from FDA committees.

The FDA will END Dr. Fauci’s cruel animal testing.

MAHA is about to change everything.

🧵THREAD Image
RFK Jr.’s pledge to reveal the truth about the autism epidemic by September is not just “crazy talk.”

Dr. Makary: “We have to look at EVERYTHING.” 🔥

“You can’t say, we’re gonna do a study of what is causing this epidemic … but you can’t look at these potential causes.”

“That’s now how science is done.”

“If I had to make a hypothesis as a scientist, not as a regulator … I think it is the cumulative burden of all of these exposures, environmental and dietary, that alter the microbiome.”

“When you carpet bomb the microbiome with all of these ingredients that don’t appear in nature … what are we doing?”
The MAHA team is reversing the insanity of Biden-era corruption.

Dr. Makary: “My predecessor in this role, as he stated, his #1 goal was fighting misinformation.”

“Our #1 goal is delivering cures and meaningful treatments and healthier foods for Americans.”
