Allot of good questions, I will try to add to them, and answer to the best of my ability.
I agree that O"Brien and Phillips have been relegated to the Dustbin of popular conspiracy land, whatever that may mean. I don't always believe
popularity and truth go in tandem. They themselves may be victim of a smear campaign (In which they never really defended themselves online at
least), information overload as the over the top allegations come from left field for most, and as explained in one of the videos (O'Brien recollects
the public would dismiss most of her testimony as they would have no frame of reference for it).
There is now a frame of reference for those who have been studying history since 9/11/Iraq/Gannongate etc. There is a global snuff- kiddie porn-
slave trade, that boggles the mind when confronted with it, but it exists and what O'Brien speaks of is possible.
While there has been allot of evidence which corroborates O'Briens testimony of the Big Picture (ie How things really work) such as the CIA
connections at some level to drug trafficked (Gary Webb), JonBenett Ramsey, Bill Clinton and Bush Sr. being Buddie Buddie, that's just a taste of
the larger picture, which of course can get into more detail. The links above to the Rigorous Intuition articles are interesting to point out again as
well, as O'Brien was right about Cheney's 'big' secret. Bill Bennet she called a sadist, who just so happened to be one. It turns out Scooter
Libby like to write about some sick stuff as well. She might have made lucky guesses.
As for GNN from what I surmise, Stephen Marshall (the director of the project)
had spent about 2 weeks living with them, he felt fairly sure they were being themselves (I suggest watching the reactions of the Berkley students
filmed for the GNN project). They spent as much time and money as they could, to produce the 'trailer' to get extra funding from HBO to complete
the film. The exec's pulled out shortly after seeing the Vaginal Mutilation scene (I do not know the exact reasons they decided not to go ahead with
the project).
I am relying on memory here, but I believe Marshall also was able to get a sheriff of a county to corroborate a murder of a bum/hobo at the same area
& time frame O'Brien described in the book (The hobo who had his hands cut off by her handler Wayne Cox)
They Claimed US Customs was able to validate her info as well on Caribbean Narcotics dealings.
I'll leave off with GNNs comments in their film treatment
..Though the immediate reaction of most people to Cathy’s story is one of revulsion and disbelief, those instinctual responses are consistently
challenged once they have come face-to-face with her. Whether she is speaking from the lit podium of a conference hall or in the serene tranquility of
nature, Cathy comes across as a supremely honest and integral soul.
As any person who has attempted to deconstruct the ‘myth’ of her ‘delusions’ will confirm, meeting Cathy O’Brien is an uncannily beautiful
and unsettlingly normal experience. Even the most hard-edged skeptic is suddenly left without the sharp dagger of critical enthusiasm that they
brought with them. Instead of finding a delusional, attention-seeking con artist, they discover an enlightened spirit who does not crave anything but
the innate beauty of human contact.
She is a total mystery.
An enigma of such epic proportion that one cannot help but clamor for either the complete validation of her claims or the absolute dismissal of them.

some google searches
don't know how relevant this is now, it was posted 1996(seems interesting),
he documents I specifically requested were medical documents covering
diagnosis and treatment of Cathy's physical scars, mutilations and eye
damage, legal documents demonstrating their struggles with the courts
regarding both Cathy and Kelly, and anything at all he could give me to
demonstrate any single aspect or event of Cathy's story while she was
still under mind control, since they adamantly claim to be "fully
documented." Again, I was assured all of this was available, that it
would be sent to me promptly, and that I would be welcome to share it
with anybody I wished, in any way I wished.
After nearly a month of waiting, I received call from Mark telling me
that the documentation had finally been assembled and it was on the way.
The second documentation package contained the following:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A color photograph taken of an eye under a slit lamp, with the note that
this showed the damage to Cathy's eye. I had the image checked out
by a certified opthalmic technician, who said that the image did not
show any damage, but that it was a very difficult image to read.

allegations that he threatened the President of the United States
