Frank Parlato – You’re a fucking dick for posting all this shit. I know you hate Keith, but involving Allison Mack was a shitty ass move! I hope Karma gets you, you fucking low-life!
This is all a conspiracy, and now it’s hurting her! Keith is just an INTELLIGENT MAN and everyone’s fucking jealous cause women wanna learn from him. THERE ARE GOOD TEACHERS OUT THERE!
SOME WE’VE MADE STATUES OF! So screw yourself! Allison is innocent. She just wanted to better herself as a human being! She got out of SMALLVILLE cause she didn’t wanna do that forever! She went into theatre because she wanted to continue acting in a different form! She’s not in a cult. She was just Keith’s student.
She didn’t do any of those things. YOU HAVE NO LIFE. YOU OVER DID IT. AND KARMA WILL GET YOU WHETHER YOU BELIEVE IN IT OR NOT.
CAUSE THIS IS NOT OK!

Please leave a comment: Your opinion is important to us!
Maybe It is a cult. Im not saying its not. I just know that Allison is a leader for Jness who barely shows up. I know cause I tried to join. And, Allison is intelligent so tehrefore she seeked an intelligent teacher, who is keith. Doesnt mean shes in his cult . and that she beats women or brands them. My arguement is theres no proof. women havent point out allison and said, she beat me. allison hasnt been arrested or charged. so CMON man!… I never wanted to argue with you like this. On your page. But youre posting fake news on Allison… Keith is your enemy. Not her. So quit it… Besides if you go to jail … You wouldnt of gained anything.
…So …. Im gonna stop posting things. But I ask you to drop the whole thing on Allison.. because all you got is speculations.. And claims… And if other girls from the group said shes a leader, its cause she is. But not of a cult. I dont know for sure. But nor do you. Otherwise there would be news stations reporting her arrest and girls crying saying ” she forced me to do this, or she burned me” idk whatever crazy stuff… But there aren’t.. just girls who said she tried to convince them to join JNESS. or that shes the leader of Jness. ..
….I have done lots of research and… Youre the only one talking smack about her.. Everything is “according to frank parlato…”
Youre trapped in your own beliefs, in your own mind.. You dont see how you hurt someone.. Cause you simply not thinking realistically… and like ive said before youre filled with hate.. so.. if and when you go to jail youll just be sitting in a box within a box. Because right now.. Youre trapped in your own ignorance….
…… This is the last post as long as you just leave her alone. Youre a reporter… YOU LEARNED THIS IN SCHOOL! —FACT: TRUTH: PROOF… NOT WORDS….. …..
I apologize, for the inconvenience of my comments..
PEACE
This is Diane. I kid you not.: Frank. I have insulted you, and thats nothing. Nothing compared to how you have been hurting ALLISON MACK. In her career,. mentally, and its not OKAY. You ask for me to show proof? I cant. Here’s the truth. Im just her biggest fan. And Im not a stalker & I havent stalked her. But I want from you is to stop posting speculations/rumours. Because, since you dont have proof. AND I. dont have proof. WE HAVE NO RIGHT TO ASSUME, AND THEN POST THESE THINGS AS IF THERE TRUE. THEY ARE NOT. I am very sure hat Allison isn’t cult leader, second in command like you say. And I am also very certain that you have a mental problem.Focus on Keith. Hes like your nemesis or something. But It is true. I believe keith is not a good guy. I doubt that Allison has been branding women. But I believe Keith is the leader. Maybe, he’s not. Maybe people are just jealous because hes super smart. But if this cult is real.
One: The girls are accepting this because keith brainwashed them. Victimized them. And if it isn’t. Then oh well. No. You have no video footage or photograhy showing allison doing any of this. Therefore: STOP. I have no proof shes not. but I want you to stop posting untrue things. Look what youre doing to people? Turning them against her, and me. ?! What do you gain? You like arguements? You like to be right? Well guess what? For you to be right… youd have to provide proof. AND THEN PEOPLE WILL SIDE WITH YOU. But right now. people are siding with you. because its everywhere. BUT YOU HAVE NO EVIDENCE!!!
You may be a writer. Its all you love to do.. Buyt if its your dream to write, and you love to publish your writing.. you should use it for good. Like write about the earthquakes, the hurricanes that are happening. Raise awareness… Because people are self-fish. I am not good at writing like you. But I love to write. I just dont ruin peoples lives… To live, my dream…
If you think youre making a difference.. Youre not.. If you want to catch Keith Reneire, then, get a certification to privately investigate, by using a CAMERA, Or a TRACKER. Pay someone to infiltrate his school. Or his whatever it is. But you’re going about it the wrong way.
Allison Mack, has been an actress, and though she hasnt been involved in activism, which im sure she regrets.. She has been trying to find herself. Im really sure she has sadness.. deep inside her.. And she maybe just wanted help. … You dont know the story of why she joined the self-help group.. I was trying to join JNESS. And I didnt have the money.. It was expensive.. And I couldnt.. I had talked to some of Allisons friends, who were nice at first. But I JUST WANTED TO DIG MORE. I did find things about keith reniere. So Im not at all surprised to see all this out in the open, With that actress, who’se trying to save her daughter.. She was on Megan Kelly. Im sure you saw. But I havent been involved in anything. Like I said, Im a fan. So here’s what I gotta tell you Mr. Parlato. And I apologize for insulting you under the youtube comments But….
If you wanna take down this cult, you cant uproot a tree, by pulling on a branch.. You have to dig, and dig, and dig, at the roots! Till the tree falls. And honestly, you could tell because of the lack of evidence… Allison Mack is just one small little leaf. And you know. I was in this Association called MWA.. I never joined as a member.. But I would go help with what I could. Do your research youll see. I was donating food and that sorta stuff. They kept wanting me to be a member. I refused, and they pushed and pushed and pushed. Which I thought was odd. I only wanted to join a FOODBANK. Because I wanted to do something GOOD for my community..
efore I considered joining as a member.. I researched, and it said somewhere on google that Theyre CONSIDERED A cult. Because they supposedly want to take down the government.. So I made it clear to the people there, that Id Only be donating food when I can. And otherwise to leave me alone. Now the cult isnt that big a deal with MWA. But they canvass the neighborhoods and that I dont like. I dont like having to force peoplei into anything.
So… There are so many organizations that are considered a cult. Now I dont wanna join as a member cause of the rumours. But If you think about it… They feed people, and that may look like propaganda.. But in the end. They will not take ove rthe government thats stupid..
Also. NXIVM Is supposed to help people.. And, If Allison Mack joined it is because she felt like she needed help, or enjoyed learning and maybe she wanted to explore more about herself. Have you not read any of her instagram or website or twitter posts? Also, If she was in the cult, dont you think that maybe she was just brainwashed, and maybe is a victim too? Why is she second in command? Because shes a leader in Jness? Ive talked to one of her friends when I was gonna join. They said Allison was hardly there. Like literally- hardly ever there. Another reason why I wasnt gonna pay that much money to go on a retreat. Hot air balloon or not. I wasnt gonna pay.. But I used to be a Private Investigator for a company called Solved. I learned that you need solid evidence. and for you posting this, expect lawsuits.. Because this isn’t true.. Now Im receiving comments saying That Im in the cult because I am simply a LOYAL FAN? And also someone who SEEKS TRUTH. Which youre obviously not providing!?
Youre old… Its not an insult… Its a fact… Allison is a leader in Jness. FACT. Allison was Keiths STudent, FACT. Allison Branded women, WHO FUCKING KNOWS. YOU DONT. So its not a FACT. Cause there isnt proof. Im not trying to brain wash anyone!
I AM SIMPLY SAYING! – STOP POSTING THINGS WITHOUT SOLID EVIDENCE! STOP ASSUMING ITS ALL TRUE UNTIL YOU SEE EVIDENCE! EVIDENCE ISN’T THAT ITS EVERYWHERE! RUMORS SPREAD BECAUSE THERE ARE STUPID- LIFE-LESS, RETARDED PEOPLE OUT THERE.
JUST BELIEVE FACTS/EVIDENCE. PICTURES AND VIDEOS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS, AND THEY DONT LIE LIKE WORDS.
PEOPLE. PLEASE BE SMART. AND YEAH IM A NOBODY. BUT THIS NOBODY IS INTELLIGENT ENOUGH TO NOT FALL FOR WHAT PEOPLE SAY. AND UNTIL I SEE ALLISON MACK ARRESTED AND CONVICTED. I WILL NOT APOLOGIZE OR STOP TRYING TO STOP YOU FRANK PARLATO.
ALL I CAN DO IS POST, AND POST, AND POST. TAHTS ALL I HAVE THE POWER TO DO.. BUT DO YOU WANNA DIE AS THE GUY WHO RUINED A 35 YEAR OLDS CAREER? Seriously man… She had her whole life ahead of her, and acting was her passion!… You have a heart right!? her christmas is gonna be super fucking depressing because shes gonna be thinking, holy shit… im done..
IF SHE ISNT ALREADY! ? AND IF ITS lALL TRUE… IF SHE IS THE LEADER AND DID HURT WOMEN IN HER GROUP… AND IS ARRESTED AND CONVICTED.. THATLL BE THE DAY I STOP THESE POSTS…
AND THATLL BE THE DAY: I WILL TELL YOU FRANK PARLATO… THAT I AM SORRY. I will personally send you a card with a reindeer on the cover with glitter. And itll sing too! .
Wow.is tjis.poster.off.base. it wasn’t PaTty Hurst in that bank holding a gun either or those poor innocent souls who killed for Manso.
Until Allison wakes up from her kool-aid drunken slumber she choose to continue to indulge in Daikin the face of so much “data” that this.organization is a cult who is abusive and she is now one of the top abusers, she is a part of what.is bad about NXIVM.
Can she heal the wounds she has caused. Yes, just.like everyone else who woke up,.took responsibly and did what they could to educate those left inside and those who might consider getting caught in the Web of insanity of Raniere’, the Bronfmans and the Salzmans.
I’m amazed at how many of the commenters here sound so absolutely definitive, as if they are privy to the facts. Are they? I have no clue on the truth of the matter, but what I do know is, Allison Mack is a very self-aware, but incredibly fragile person. I just hope innocent people will not get hurt here – though I also hope that all the predators are stopped.
ps: Check out one particular blog post from Allison from Feb 2008. https://web.archive.org/web/20080304124554/http://www.allisonmack.com:80/
In one article, Frank posted a video of Allison crying while listening to Raniere speak. I cannot help but think that she has regressed psychologically since that blog post, simply based on how emotional she appeared.
ESP recruiting is person to person. Your recruiter is family, friend, or has become your “friend” to recruit you. Most of the early “modules” are about establishing rapport, sales-scripting, and being persistent until you close the sale.
Recruiters are told that the program will help people who are at a low point in their life (thus more receptive and less critical). They are also told that not everyone is ready for the message, so don’t bother recruiting those who might question it.
The 5 or16 day Intensive is carefully designed to cause emotional lows and highs to make you believe you have made breakthroughs, and leave you euphoric. Yes, there is some hokey stuff about the Vanguard and pre-emptive defenses against accusations of cultiness. But mostly you will feel welcomed by a group of nice people trying to improve themselves, and you. There is no hint at the entry level that ESP has always fed young sex partners to Keith Raniere, or of the more recent descent into blackmail, slavery, or branding.
So the vast majority of ESP members who don’t advance past the entry level have done nothing worse than try to get a few friends to join an overpriced life-coaching program that they perceive (probably correctly) has been helpful to them.
Note that students who don’t buy in to the program can and do leave. And trainers are experts at both persuading students to relax and believe, and at chasing out those few they can’t persuade.
Those who advance to the yellow-sash level of “coach” have received hundreds of hours of conditioning that promoting the program should be their highest value. They have also been explicitly tested to check that they are true believers. So they are not shocked when they see some evidence that ESP is a for-profit business. But there is still no hint of Vanguard’s harem, or blackmail, slavery, or branding.
Celebrities and the wealthy get special treatment. They get love-bombed at “information sesions” during recruiting, They are told that they are making exceptional progress in the Intensive. They advance to Coach and beyond quickly.
Keith Raniere has had a harem of multiple sex partners since the Consumer Buyline days. But ESP members who don’t live in Knox Woods or visit regularly would not know about the harem (provided they follow instructions not to believe media reports). While there do seem to be cases of sex with minors, there are no reports of non-consensual sex. So even those who found out about the harem could excuse it.
It is fair to say that the pre-DOS version of ESP is overpriced, deceptively marketed, and designed to induce dependency rather help students achieve true independent success. It may cross the legal line into pyramid-scheme territory (although the commissions aren’t explained or kick in until higher levels). But it’s hard to view any but a small number at the very top as criminal.
DOS, however, is a very different matter. Blackmail, slavery, corporal punishment, starvation, and branding are criminal.
Sarah Edmondson, Anthony Ames, and Mark Vicente, all high-rank members for many years, had “the scales fall from their eyes” and realized that any good coming out of ESP was outweighed by DOS. They closed their centers, and eventually went public. Given Raniere’s record of relentless litigation against perceived enemies, those were remarkable acts of bravery.
One could hope that others like Kristen Kreuck, Mark Hildreth, and Grace Park would make similar public statements.
I don’t know what to think about Allison Mack. I’m sure that DOS is the creation of Keith Raniere, and was not invented by Allison Mack. It is possible that her role in DOS has been exaggerated. Certainly Keith likes to have a “designated felon” with the official title to his creations so he can evade blame. But Allison did allow DOS to happen, rather than blowing the whistle, or even just walking quietly away.
But after years of ingeniously subtle brainwashing, and likely starvation dieting, overexercise, and sleep deprivation, there’s likely not much left of the old Allison Mack personality that Chloe Sullivan fans fell in love with.
That is the typical backfire effect. I would not be offended. This person might be a Mack fan for over a decade and that will not change even if you would show her the brandings yourself. Give it some time and it might do. At this point you are the one who attacks someone important to that person and you have to be opposed. Normal human behavior.
Allison Mack may have been a victim, but she is now an abuser. She has also been clearly damaged by this cult. Look at how frail she is in that recent wedding picture. She does not look healthy AT ALL. The ONLY thing that will help her is to put pressure on her, on Kristin Kreuk, on Grace Park, on Nicki Clyne, and everyone who is involved with NXIVM to make them realize that they are hurting themselves and others by remaining silent about what is going on.
Allison has not done anything that cannot be forgiven, but she has to come clean about her involvement with NXIVM, sincerely apologize for her role in this horrible cult, and make amends to the people that she has hurt.
Keith Raniere, on the other hand, needs to be (figuratively) burned at the stake. No mercy for him. Fact.
