The Source is a multi-level marketing company that purports to sell instructions on acting for about $10,000 a shot. [If an actress is slender and good looking, she might get a discount – down to free].
The curriculum is “…designed for the actor, artist, speaker, singer, human being, who is ready to delve into the deepest parts of themselves to live and express with rich, genuine authenticity”.
The Source “…takes you on a journey to develop and fashion your most valuable resource – you – so you can best serve your chosen craft at levels beyond your expectations”.
The Source is advertised as “…an acting, expression and self-awareness building curriculum developed by Keith Raniere and led by Allison Mack”.
Under the section of ‘Who We Are” the Source offers a list of names – some of them quite prominent – who are purportedly part of the group.
But the fact is several of the names still listed on the website have clearly left Keith Raniere and not in a pleasant way.
But Keith keeps their names up nonetheless.
To me, it seems like false advertising. These names should immediately be taken down.
He gives the impression that they are still with The Source and people might feel that these are part of the attraction. Now while I admit that few people are signing up for anything associated with the name of Keith Raniere [after all, who wants to get branded on their pubic region or be blackmailed into silence?], falsely claiming to have members who have quit your group is hardly ethical, is it?
Let’s look at the names on the Who We Are section:
Keith Raniere – Conceptual Founder
Allison Mack – President
Marcelo Ortiz – Educational Board Leader/Leader of Head Trainer in Training Program
Carmen Garza – Educational Board Leader/Leader of Head Trainer in Training Program
Eduardo Asunsolo – Leader of Ongoing Workout Program/Leader of Certified Mentors
Mark Hildreth – Leader of 12 Week Program
Mark Hildreth is gone. He left after Keith Raniere tried to fuck his girlfriend and then he found out the Vanguard was branding women on their vaginas. He did not feel like being the leader of the 12 Week program any more,
Looking at the current website for http://www.ultimasource.com/who-we-are/, we find this is true.
For once a person breaks off with Keith, they are unlikely to see him again.
In any event, as of 2016, here is The Source :”Who we are’

All that THE SOURCE does is bring people into THE SOURCE who never leave it for the most part. So if you want to super charge your acting career by getting into an MLM scheme and paying copious amounts of money to learn fuck all, then this is the course for you! And as a by-product, if you are a woman and super thin you might get invited to brand your pubic region with the initials of two fuck-head losers. Who can say no to that?
The originality of VanDouche is mesmerizing. He only “creates” companies that are MLMs, and he only “creates” companies that purport to teach enhancement of skills in some particular field of study which are only deceptive entry points into the same NXIVM/ESP “technology” (laughable) that he uses to recruit more people into his sex cult.
