Sketch of Allison Mack tells 1000 words; Seagram’s heiress Clare Bronfman now running the sex-slaver cult

 

“Smallville” actress Allison Mack pleaded “Not guilty” to sex trafficking and conspiracy to commit forced labor charges as part of an alleged sex cult in a federal court in Brooklyn Friday.

Mack, 35, appeared before a judge “looking unkempt and gaunt.”

She was wearing jeans, a denim shirt and holding tissues, CBS 6 Albany reported.

The judge refused a request by her lawyers to release her without bail.

A bail hearing will be held Monday.

Compare the sketch with the pic of the woman on the cover of the New York Post today.

 

Allison Mack has now experienced Executive Success to its fullest. And she has experienced what happens to just about everyone who comes in contact with Keith Raniere. She is the first of his followers to go to jail. There will be others. To the extent that they helped Raniere, they are going to be arrested.

Clare Bronfman – now currently in charge of NXIVM and leading the sex-slaver cult is next.

When she is arrested, the cult will fall like a house of cards because she is financing the entire operation now. They can’t recruit any one – and even the Mexican operation that has generated so much cash for the Raniere/Bronfman crime syndicate may not be operating now (The founders of the Mexican Centers – Emiliano Salinas and Alex Betancourt – suddenly decided to cede control of that operation last week).

Clare is holding everything together in her usual parsimonious, authoritarian and brutal way. Oh, the joy she must be feeling to finally be in control of everything!

Without Allison around, it’s doubtful that Lauren Salzman will be able to hold the slaves together.  And, if the slaves decide to go to the authorities and tell everything they know – which is exactly what they should do – then Lauren will also likely face arrest and imprisonment.

Meanwhile, the President and Prefect of the ESP operation, Nancy Salzman – who Clare supposedly despises and vice versa –  is nowhere to be found. The only question now is whether Nancy “flips” on Clare before Clare “flips” on Nancy.

  • ….And I believe he spends a lot of time writing fake comments here.
    SOS , do you actually expect anyone to believe your name refers to guitar strings?
    Your creepy, pervy misogynistic comments give you away.
    Time for you to fuck off.

  • Hey Butterfly1992,

    You’re somebody I don’t know since this is the first time I’ve seen a comment made by you. You’re also biased because not a single person exists on this planet who doesn’t have subjective emotions, feelings, desires, motivations, and other factors. However, being human beings, we have also been gifted what philosophers call the Intellect. This power grants us the ability to use a process called rational reasoning. In its correct application, a person argues from premises to a conclusion using the objective rules of logic. The term objective is the opposite of subjective, which implies that it is free from emotions, feelings, desires, motivations, and other factors.

    See. I just engaged in a process called (deductive) rational reasoning.

    If I have such a sad little existence, does that make your existence even sadder since you have concerned yourself with it?

    Ah, you’re that same person who made the “harem” comment in a response to a previous comment I made on a different blog post. Let me tell you what the alias SultanOfSix means.

    SultanOfSix is a mashup of three words: a transliteration of an Arabic term and two obvious English terms. The first is an Arabic word that means “power” or “authority”. “Of” is obvious. And “six” is a reference to the six strings on a guitar. I came up with this alias a long, long time ago as an instant messenger (IM) alias. You see I enjoy great electric guitar players like Eddie Van Halen, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Yngwie Malmsteen etc., and this was kind of a homage to them. I also used to play but haven’t done so in quite a while.

    LOL at MAGA. What does “Make America Great Again” have anything to do with this blog? If I was a MAGA wouldn’t I be figuratively be shouting “fake news” all the time in the comment section?

    If you cared to actually follow the train of comments that started this whole “pissing contest” it amounted to others being “pissed” enough to “poking a celeb-u-tard” (not my words) at what amounted to 1) a harmless comment that stated that I find some YT comments hilarious and 2) my own armchair psychology as to why Kristin Kreuk may have been bullied and the possible effects of it in molding her character and motivation to join NXIVM. So,not my fault.

    As far as I’m aware, Frank Parlato has allowed his blog to be a place for free speech. You’re free to see my alias which you now know the meaning of, and ignore my comments if they offend you so much.

    • See, immature. Someone made a joke about you and now you’ve spent the better part of 24 hours arguing with that person. Look at what you wrote. It’s exactly what I said. Immature, which is where MAGA enters into this. SultanofSix is a misogynist name. Period.

      SultanofSix

      Sultan = a Muslim sovereign, (power, ruler) By no means is it a direct translation of the word power.
      Six = corresponds to the number of slaves per pod in DOS.

      You’re just a sad little MAGA loser. Misognyst, arrogant, and trying to project an intellect that isn’t there, just like Trump.

      • Ha!

        Immaturity. Because poking a “celeb-u-tard” and referencing a celebrity pictured watermelon from a stupid slapstick comedy is pinnacle of maturity. I guess in your mind it becomes immature when your immaturity is responded to an you can’t handle it.

        — Spending the better part of 24 hours.

        Yeah, sure. Talk about hyperbole.

        Arabic, like Hebrew, is a trilateral root Semitic language, meaning words are derived from three consonants. Words derived from the transliterated consonants S-L-T all have the connotations of power or authority. Hence, Sultan can mean power or authority or one who exercises such, like a king.

        Six to reference the number of slaves of DOS? ROFL. Now that is probably the dumbest projection you’ve made to date.

        Don’t tell me what my alias means. I’ve used it for the better part of twenty years.

        — You’re just a sad little MAGA loser. Misognyst, arrogant, and trying to project an intellect that isn’t there, just like Trump.

        I voted for the independent Gary Johnson in the last presidential election.

        You’re just a d-bag, pot calling the kettle black, loser.

          • It was either him or Jill Stein. It didn’t matter to me since my vote was irrelevant and only a matter of personal protest against the two primary candidates.

            You’re like the king of aliasing and projection wrapped in a pita bread.

          • Also, you might want to reconsider your new alias when trying to mock someone as being a bigger idiot.

          • Um, I commented on your voting for Johnson the Libertarian Hamster.

            I’m not apart of whatever disjointed comment thread you got going on here. Have fun with your protest vote, makes as much sense as your comments about Sultan of Six being about Eddie Van Halen.

          • I know what you commented on you moron.

            Yes you are part of this comment thread since you interjected yourself into it.

            And my protest vote and my truthful explanation of an alias that I formed at least twenty years ago makes more sense than you donning the alias “Sultan of Misogyny” and posting with it in an ass-backwards attempt to mock me. Unless you actually are the “King of Misogyny”.

            Lying turd.

        • Here are some english words derived from the transliterated consonants S-L-T:

          SaLTy – SLuTty – SoLipsisT – inSoLenT – obSoLeTe

          Certain connotation gets lost in translation.

  • do you think Warner Bros who created Smallville will stop paying Allison Mach royalties? Don’t they have a morality clause in their contracts? Now when you hear about Smaillville, you hear Allison Mach / Sex Cult.

    • Since Mack left Smallville when it ended several years ago, she no longer has an employment relationship with the producers of the show.
      However she still would get royalties or residuals for the old episodes.
      That said the stench of this scandal has ended her acting career.
      Mack had already cancelled an April appearance at the Atlantic City ComiCon before her arrest.

  • Does anyone know if India has been convinced she’s a former Nazi official reincarnated? Given her Grandmother’s family history you’d think she’d see through that. I’m guessing Princess Elizabeth showed up in Brooklyn to tell India to cooperate cause she’s C.C. #2?

    Does anyone know if any Cartels are involved?

  • I guess we now only care about celebrities, and side kicks. No more posts about Raniere and what he’s done, for decades. It’s what he wants. Laughing from his tiny cell. The rest will come in good time, friends. Be patient.

    • A sociopath ruins many lives. Without remorse or concern. They tear away any good intentions people might have once had. The trick them into believing in a greater good, available through them. They are the monsters of our world.

  • https://nypost.com/2018/04/21/sex-cult-moves-to-brooklyn-and-is-ready-for-war/

    The Albany-based sex cult ­Nxivm is in full-out “war” mode — and has moved to Brooklyn, The Post has learned.
    And it’s being run and financed by longtime member Clare Bronfman, the multimillionaire heiress to the Seagram’s liquor fortune, according to a former insider.

    “Brooklyn is now their wartime headquarters,” said Frank Parlato, a former Nxivm publicist-turned-whistleblower.

    “They’re not recruiting” after all the bad publicity, Parlato said Saturday of ­Nxivm, pronounced “NEX-ium.”

    “Right now, they’re in crisis mode.”

    With Svengali-like leader Keith Raniere and his accused top slave-recruiter, former “Smallville” actress Allison Mack, both jailed on federal sex-trafficking charges, the 200-member cult is now headed by Bronfman — who rules with an iron hand, Parlato said.

    “She’s the enforcer — the brutal one,” he said. “Clare’s running the [operation] now, and she’s the most ruthless of them.

    “I’m issuing an absolute warning now,” he added. “Clare Bronfman is a true fanatic, and if there’s a Jim Jones situation, everyone will commit suicide but her.”

    A strict adherent to the violent cult’s strictures against eating more than 800 calories a day, Bronfman has dropped to 80 or 90 pounds and is certain Raniere will be vindicated and rise again in messianic glory, Parlato said.

    “She wants to be close to Raniere, and she is managing his lawyers and his case,” he said

    Raniere is repped by the high-powered, high-priced, firm of celebrity lawyer Ben Brafman.

    Another dozen of Nxivm’s top-tier slaves and recruiters also live in Brooklyn, Parlato said.

    The borough has actually been a Nxivm outpost since last fall, after stories first broke — including on Parlato’s Web site, Artvoice — about the cult forcibly branding Raniere’s harem of brainwashed sex slaves.

    And so Mack and a few other of Raniere’s slaves and recruiters moved about six months ago into what Parlato called a “slave pod” apartment in Brooklyn Heights

    Among them was Mack’s new wife, “Battlestar Gallactica” actress Nicki Clyne — a Canadian-born Nxivm member whose visa was about to run out, Parlato said.

    Also in the pod was “Dynasty” actress Catherine Oxenberg’s daughter, India, who continues to live there while working at an East Village vegan restaurant.

    India was present in the “pod” — and was “scared awake” — when the feds busted in early Friday to arrest Mack, Parlato said.

    “She’s a true victim,” said Parlato, who speaks several times a day to India’s worried mother.

    “India was groomed by this cult for a long time,” he said.

    One of the pod’s recruiting events was held Christmas week at an edgy, graffiti-covered event venue in East Williamsburg.

    “Their job was to look for women,” Parlato said, describing Raniere’s ideal recruit as “slender, young, nubile, long-haired.”

    “He liked them gullible but edgy,” Parlato said of Raniere, whose slaves called him “Vanguard.”

    Meanwhile, Bronfman, 38 — a strict adherent to the violent cult’s strictures against eating more than 800 calories a day — is determined to keep the cult together until Raniere “comes home.”

    “She is down to 80, 90 pounds,” said Parlato, who also broke that Mack would be arrested.

    “Just for her peace of mind and comfort in her head, she’ll want to be as close to him as she can be,” he said of Bronfman.

    In addition to the dozen top members in Brooklyn, most of the followers in Bronfman’s control are in Mexico, said Parlato, who has written more than 1,200 stories about the cult.

    “These are the rabid, true ­believers.”

  • Second point!

    Over the years the Bronfman sisters supposedly funded the NXIVM cult to the tune of 150 million dollars.
    150 million dollars buys a lot of clout.

    Is it any wonder that the police, prosecutors and politicians of New York’s Capitol District are in the hip pocket of the NXIVM cult?
    Police, prosecutors and politicians were all corrupted by Ranieres’s sex cult.

    The only thing that broke the NXIVM cult was a well known actress Catherine Oxenberg going to the media (ABC, the New York Times and Doctor Oz) spilling the beans and then contacting the FBI.

    Generally speaking the FBI is more professional and incorruptible than local cops.

    • It wasn’t just Catherine Oxenberg who broke the NXIVM. There were countless others. Victims and people who worked for NXIVM including Sarah Edmondson, Frank, Barb and many others.

      • And until Oxenberg went public are started making trouble nothing was being done about Raniere and NXIVM.

        Had it been left up to the local authorities in Albany, New York and Saratoga County Raniere would still be in business and Allison Mack would still be branding women.
        It was left up to the FBI to shut down Raniere’s Freak Show.

        • No… NXIVM was being protected by The Clinton Foundation. They donated in excess of 30K to Clinton’s campaign, and if she had one, we wouldn’t be hearing a peep about Raniere, or Harvey Weinstein. The Clintons are career criminals who have been running an organized crime racket in the US for more than 40 years. If you want someone to thank for all of this stuff coming out in public, thank Donald Trump.

          • It’s just too funny!

            Here you have a fine specimen and prime example of of a completely blinded cult follower.
            Let’s face it, almost half the country fell for a scam artist and cult leader who openly admitted to sexual assault and who was actually on trial for rape of a minor. Yet they all found arguments to stick with him. And way too many still do. They educate themselves by only looking at media that support their cult and dismiss all counter claims from independent sides.

            The same people then come here calling these women stupid and gullible, not realizing that they are precisely in the same boat.

            The hilarity of this is just priceless…

  • ALLISON MACK IS SCREWED!

    It her attorneys were paid their 150K retainer by the Bronfman sisters, those attorneys are more beholden to the Bronfmans than to Allison Mack.
    Those attorneys will do everything to protect the Bronfmans even if it means throwing Pimp Mack to the wolves.

    Mack needs to find an attorney who will negotiate a plea deal for her in return for Mack ratting out the Bronfman sisters.

    • Your right. Best move Mack could do is to RAT out everyone involved including her so called wife “nicki clyne” which has been proven to be a sham of a marriage and not real. Fraud basically at least thats what the articles are calling it.

      Mack knows she might go away for 15 years. If i was in her shoes i would take down everyone else with me. No one would get out. I would expose every single punk

      • Allison Mack has to look at what is happening in the Mueller investigation.
        People who cooperate with Mueller, like General Flynn and Rick Gates, get nice deals and face only a limited amount of time in prison.
        People like Paul Manafort who decide to be tough guys will end up dying in prison.
        Every organized crime investigation is solved by people who cut plea deals.
        That’s why mobsters know to sing like canaries when caught.

      • She needs either an amazing lawyer who will get her to do that, or come to her senses. I’m not sure either will happen.

        • Any honest lawyer who is truly concerned about his client will do.
          No doubt if the Bronfman sisters hired Mack’s attorneys they are competent.
          The issue is whether these attorneys will protect Mack’s interests or the Bronfmans’ interests.

      • Not the hilarious pointless arguments that I’m clearly referring to? Just the random ones you happen to find hilarious, which in itself is a random and pointless observation.

  • Mack’s slave pod includes Lauren Salzman, India Oxenberg, Nicki Clyne, brander Danielle Roberts, and Michelle Hatchette. Who’s number six? Rosa Laura Junco? Marianna Fernandez?

  • Its amusing how Kreuk gets such oddball hate. She always did, even as Lana. And from what I understand, she was bullied in whacky ways in high school. Shes just a weirdo with a beautiful face. And ass.

    • I don’t find it surprising or amusing. She’s beautiful so she can get hate from jealous girls. Because of this fact, she can also get hate from rejected guys.

      Although she probably had a few close friends in junior high and in high school, my guess is at those early ages, she was probably impacted by some bullying enough such that it drove her more into her shell of shyness and affected her self-esteem in some negative manner, and it’s possible it became a driving factor to her joining a group like NXIVM and made her more susceptible to fall for its love bombing.

      • How big is that watermelon with Kristin’s picture glued it? And why do you keep it under your bed?

        • I guess this is ironic considering the comment topic.

          I never understood why people care about how someone else feels about a celebrity such that they attempt to mock him for it. How does it affect your life?

          • That’s not even an analogous question.

            I follow her because I’m a fan. I think she’s beautiful and I like watching her on television.

            You mocked me because I follow her. The (rhetorical) question was how does my choice of being a fan of a celebrity affect *your* life? It has nothing to do with you.

          • You are a fanatic by your own admission. Most of Keith’s followers are fanatics too.

          • LOL. Now you’re digressing into false equivalencies. It’s good to see where your logic level stands.

          • False Equivalency? How about I’m poking a celeb-u-tard with a stick?

            Make sense now?

            You’re fanaticism doesn’t effect me (not affect), it’s just funny. Like the fat women on a Rascal at Wal-Mart.

            I pity you in all honesty.

          • KAR wrote: “You’re fanaticism doesn’t effect me (not affect)”
            Actually…
            “effect” is wrong, “affect” was correct. Nice of you to correct others incorrectly.
            Example: You “affect” this blog by lowering its standards–that’s the “effect” your juvenile comments have.

          • KAR wrote: “You’re fanaticism doesn’t effect me (not affect)”

            Excuse me but you seem to be guilty of the same thing you accuse K.A.R. of. SultanofSix has had some pretty juvenile comments over the months too. That’s Freedom of Speech for you. You made a trolling comment to a troll. You must realize that means you affect this blog by lowering its standards with your juvenile comments that same as K.A.R.? Right?

          • See, I figured you sounded like SultanofSix coming to his own rescue. The constant references to logic. How sad are you eh?

          • That’s funny. A nobody hiding behind an alias who is poking with a stick a “celeb-u-tard” who you only “know” because I use the same alias when I post. Do you feel like a big man now?

            I asked a rhetorical question to make a point about how stupid you are. The fact of the matter is, you projected your own guttered mind onto me with your watermelon comment. If you can’t see that then you’re even more stupid than I thought.

          • Oh an that “to K.A.R.” person isn’t me. He writes like that SMPFE person or whatever his name is. I don’t care to look and figure it out the exact abbreviation.

          • I said “Well, this place has officially turned into a YouTube comment section.”

            You responded to me “Some YT comments are hilarious.”

            I’m taking this as you approve of the random pointless arguments on YouTube. Find them “hilarious” even.

            So K.A.R. busted you with a good one and now it’s not so funny anymore. It that right? About sum it all up? Champ?

          • How many aliases do you have?

            — I’m taking this as you approve of the random pointless arguments on YouTube. Find them “hilarious” even.

            Nice projection again. I said I find certain YT “comments” hilarious. And they are. I didn’t say I find “random pointless arguments” on the YT hilarious.

            Are you really this clueless?

            — So K.A.R. busted you with a good one and now it’s not so funny anymore. It that right?

            “Busted [me] with a good one”?

            ROFL. All he did was try to mock my fanship of a celebrity and ended up projecting his own perverted thoughts onto it. At first I didn’t know what he was talking about and was confused. I was like, “what does a watermelon with a picture of Kristin have to do with anything I said about her being bullied?”

            Then I thought about it for a few moments and it clicked and I was like, “Oh…eew this guy is weird.” But I collected myself and said, “what he does in private is his own business. Who am I to judge this guy and his sexual fetish with fruits?”

          • I have always been the same person. Just me. No alias’

            Your mincing your words. “Some YT comments are hilarious.” Some isn’t certain.

            The watermelon joke was a reference the great movie “Me, Myself & I” which was K.A.R. making a joke about your fandom of Kristin Kruek and where it gets you.

            I’m beginning to think you’re younger than Allison Mack, lol.

      • — I have always been the same person. Just me. No alias’

        You’re always the same person, always using an alias, and you can use different aliases.

        — Your mincing your words. “Some YT comments are hilarious.” Some isn’t certain.

        Certain as a pronoun: some, not all.

        Look it up.

        — The watermelon joke was a reference the great movie “Me, Myself & I” which was K.A.R. making a joke about your fandom of Kristin Kruek and where it gets you.

        Sorry. I rarely watched over-the-top or slapstick movies that are stupid even in my younger days. I guess you guys are two peas in pod. It’s funny how you’re not the same person, yet you happen to know the movie reference and injected yourself into a conversation which you weren’t involved in, in an attempt to defend someone who supposedly is irrelevant to you.

        — I’m beginning to think you’re younger than Allison Mack, lol.

        I guess this was supposed to be some sort of potshot?

        Regardless, I know very little about the personality of Allison to see how she is comparable to me, and you probably know just as much about her as you know about me, and that is likewise just as little.

        • Your point was that it was pointless? LOL.

          This reminds me of the statement: “find meaning in the meaninglessness”.

          1) nothing is random that involves human agency 2) being pointless is subjective; many of those people who are engaging in those arguments don’t find them to be such otherwise they wouldn’t be doing it.

          • Hey SultanofSix

            You’re a fanboy, by your own admission. You’re bias. Why engage everytime you’re engaged? Not that mature. Shows what a sad little existence you have built for yourself. SultanofSix is referring to a middle eastern harem right? What a MAGA pig you are. This isn’t funny. Quit bringing the whole blog down with your pointless pissing contest.

            No one is impressed by your immaturity!

    • I was a fan of Smallville for many years and I know it used to drive me nuts when the writers/producers would say that Lana was such a hated character because KK was so beautiful and we were all jealous. I know that as a viewer I disliked Lana for many reasons–being two-faced, having zero purpose besides being the love interest, entire plots were created to keep her relevant and then subsequently dropped when the next season started–that’s why I disliked the character. KK being pretty had nothing to do with it and it was insulting to be told that was the only possible reason she was hated, like the character was a perfect creation.

      I am sure that was difficult for KK to play a character that was not very popular but that sometimes happens on television shows. A character the writers think will be beloved is loathed and their egos can’t handle that their creation is bombing with the viewers. I hope KK has developed enough as an actress to not let this type of criticism get to her and to play the role to the best of her ability.

      I also hope this weekend in jail, away from the slaves and any other weird influence, will help Allison mack realize just how much trouble she is in and if she wants to save her neck and have any type of life, she needs to start spilling her guts to the prosecutors.

      • Lana was loved by a lot of people. But she would obviously have more haters if there were just as many Chloe or Lois fans. I doubt Lana’s hate had any personal impact on Kristin because she was given love from her fans and fans of her character.

          • Yeah, I’m sure the Bureau of Imaginary Statistics found it well worth their time to assess the demographics of Lana, Chloe, and Lois fandom.

    • I’ve seen both Rosa and Lauren described as #2 in DOS, though I suspect it’s actually Lauren (Keith was a sick MF and set Allison and Lauren against each other, one #1 in DOS, the other #1 in NXIVM Education, and both secretly promised his “Avatar baby”). Allison’s slaves were on the highest rung in DOS, and Rosa was high up, and, as you noted, had slaves with their own slaves.

      Rosa’s dad, Alejandro Junco de la Vega, is the Rupert Murdoch of Mexico and very wealthy. She’ll get great lawyers. And will need them. From a text she sent her slave, Pam Arstikaitis:

      Here’s more data re: branding
      About the branding:
      It is a symbol that she will hold herself higher than her body. It is part of being willing to be humiliated around our pride – so we can be free of our false image and truly fee of soul and spirit.
      Branding is a constant reminder of keeping ourselves humble and not prideful – pride limits who we are and keeps the fear in place.
      We’re meant to come to love and cherish our brand – as a constant reminder of a life other than petty suffering – true love – true freedom – and our commitment to be on that path forever – which assures us we’ll get there!!

      • The comment was misplaced, despite clicking on reply to Anonymous.

      • She’s describing ‘Mortification of the Flesh” – pure Catholic dogma. If she hadn’t joined nxivm, she probably would’ve joined Opus Dei.

  • I while back, for a few days, this site had a slightly different layout; in addition to ‘Recent Posts’, ‘Archives’ and ‘Contact’ on the right hand side of the home page, there was also a ‘Recent Comments’ feature.

    Would it be possible to reinstate that feature? There’s been dozens of interesting comments overnight on all of yesterdays articles. I go through each article’s comment section and look for the timestamp so I don’t miss anything, but it would be so beneficial to look up all comments chronologically in addition to reading them post by post.

    Thank you immensely for this site!

    • The issue I’m having is that when I reply to comments on my phone, the comments place randomly, either top of all comments, or in the middle, and rarely in reply to the comment I replied to.

      • This happened to me multiple times as well. It seems like if it takes a while to type the comment, the page “times out” and loses who you were responding to and so it thinks you’re just making a general comment and so it posts it to the top.

  • Frank, I think it’s time for some articles on the following people:
    Cecilia Salinas
    Daniela Padilla
    Monica Duran
    The Garza sisters
    Alejandra Gonzales
    Michele Hatchet
    Marc Elliot
    Ludwika Paleta (where is she in all this?)

  • I do hope Allison is having a nice time in jail this weekend- perhaps the empty calories of jail food and mandatory lights out is making her come to her senses. Either way, I’d say she’s reached the pinnacle of ‘executive success’: she’s in the same spot her master is in!

  • Cognitive dissonance is what’s making Alison look “looking unkempt and gaunt.” – plus a little acting tossed in, she’s prolly having a hard time processing that neither Clare nor Keith will be riding up on a white horse to rescue her.

    • From Page Six:

      “I wish I could tell you alarm bells went off, but they really didn’t. She was a very sweet girl.”

      The pair met twice in the month after they met, once at an Amsterdam Avenue restaurant and another time at Shoaib’s Upper West Side apartment.

      Each time, Mack appeared more “fragile and gaunt” with dark circles under her eyes, Shoaib said.

      “She was definitely physically suffering,” Shoaib said. “There’s no question she was sleep deprived.”

    • Shameless fame whore.
      All about 2013, 2 years before Raniere and Mack were emailing each other to create DOS.

        • This response shows how young actresses can be seduced into a cult like this.

          Virture shame. That’s what Raniere did to every member of his cult.

          • Maybe Read about how Raniere broke people down by publicly humiliating them over and over. His whole shtick is ethics. Pretty sure that’s what all this offense at a d- list actress sharing a pointless story to PAGE SIX, not a real publication but the GOSSIP page.

            You must a be one of those ladies in the grocery store line that buys US Weekly.

      • You were there ? You know exactly what date KR started Mack’s indoctrination ?
        You are just making yourself look stupid, and showing what a sexist pig you are to call any woman a name like that.

        • Read Raniere’s arrest affidavit. Maybe educate yourself.

          I wasn’t there, but the Gov’t has his emails.
          It’s not a secret when they came up with DOS.

          • So many incorrect assumptions in so few words, it’s almost impressive. Take off your fedora and move out of your mom’s basement, maybe then you’ll stop projecting your sad little life onto others.

          • Frank wears a Fedora.

            And not for nothing but,

            I completely own my house.
            i completely own my vehicles.

            I don’t make payments, that’s for suckers.

            I’m sorry you don’t have a man to take care of you and treat you like the special snowflake you are.

    • India has been the theory.

      Even though we all know Lauren is probably the one holding things together, she seems like the type to use as many “sisters” as she can as human shields to stall for time.

      • IMO, they named India CC#2 for a couple of reasons. One being that they needed multiple people to establish the conspiracy, and the other being that she would be more likely to flip than say, Lauren.
        At the very least, I am guessing she has lawyered up, and that is why her social media has gone private.
        Here is to praying her grandmother has talked some sense into her.

        • I figured it had to be Lauren. Her being C.C. #2 would make sense to me just because she was raised into it all and is older. I guess it will all come out soon enough. This is gonna be the weirdest RICO trial ever.

    • Yes you do. At least your MRA-ugliness is in check in this comment. It’s neither, btw, which you’d know if you had knowledge or a brain.

        • So wrong, but that never stopped you, did it KAR? Your life being so little and so sad is no excuse for being a dick on FrankReport.

          • Just like a lady at the hairdressers, you gotta have a pointless last word. Come on sister, hit me with it.

          • …and you pry coulda just moved on and not said a word. If you really wanted to take the “high road”. See your Virture Signaling, it’s what Keith did with his “ethical breaches” and public humiliation of cult members to make them admit their “breaches”. The cultural values you are trying to asset are the very things Keith used to manipulate ladies into being Branded like Cattle (hence my ironic name). You really are what’s wrong with the 18-34’s these days.

            If you’re so evolved and so moral, move on with your day. Engaging with me for hours sorta digs that “high ground” right out from under you.

    • CC-2 Is (unfortunately) India Oxenberg. The Delegates which was created by India and Keith to run errands for various NXIVM members for a fee is their creation. The Delegates is the business mentioned in the Raniere Complaint linked to CC-2.

      • Thanks, I missed that! I don’t use social media, hard to track alot of this without it.

    • “At the time, she recalled to The Post, Mack seemed desperate, but hardly dangerous.” “She was definitely physically suffering,” Shoaib said. “There’s no question she was sleep deprived.”

      This is really the most awful tragic story. A damaged but well-meaning person going down a path a doing terrible things.

    • Shameless fame whore.
      All about 2013, 2 years before Raniere and Mack were emailing each other to create DOS.

  • It’s time to do a feature on NICKI CLYNE, Frank. Let everyone know that she bans people from commenting on her instagram if its related to NXIVM. This girl thinks she is getting away with the crap she has done.

  • This is nonsense. The episode was about female empowerment and a woman finding her own way, hence the title “Power”. Lana seemed to always need to be rescued and this episode was a departure from that as she became an equal to Clark. There was no torture. Lana was trained in the mode of Pai Mei of “Kill Bill” of the tough master whose philosophy was hard training and no pain no gain. It wasn’t Karate but her building up her strength and the like. This is about as much a Vanguard teaching as anything else he ripped off. It is actually the complete opposite of Vanguard’s misogynistic sex cult and it’s suppression of women.

  • I would love to know what, if any, influence KR had in the Smallville episode Power in Season 8. It was aired in January 2009. Mack’s interviews at the time echoed a lot of the cult speak. She directed the episode. At the time, she was very influential with the show because Chloe was so popular. Was she given any story control? Does anybody have any insight around this?

    • Mack directed. Both Mack and Kreuk heavily influenced the plot based on KR teachings at the time. A woman being tortured to gain her power showed the kernel of what was to come.

      • Here is a comment from the Saratoga in decline blog 3/18/2012 from the Wayback machine concerning the episodes POWER and Requiem being influenced by NXIVM.

        I noticed someone called into question the claim that Mack and Kreuk’s involvement with NXIVM influenced the writing, direction, and overall thematic content of Kreuk’s final arc on Smallville, specifically the episodes “Power” and “Requiem.” The connections and similarities are not overt or explicit. However, there are certain code words and certain ideas NXIVM espoused that can be found on the show if one knows where to look. After examining some of the literature on NXIVM’s official site and Lana’s final two episodes, including the episode “Power” Mack directed, the most significant and most telling link is the idea of triumphing over one’s fears and one’s past as a victim to achieve one’s full potential (Source: http://www.espian.net/origins.php).

        Both “Power” and NXIVM throw around the word “rise” to describe the process of self-empowerment and self-actualization. NXIVM explains a critical aspect of its fundamental philosophy: “Each rise, each act of human excellence raises mankind to new heights. Each fall, each act of destruction is a mindless regression. While many have sensed a need to break away from the primitive patterning that keeps us from a path of continuous progression, few have thought it possible.” A line from “Power” uses the term: “…to rise from the ashes of your previous life, stronger, more powerful…fearless. It’s time to rise.” It was used again here: “As you rise higher and higher, never look down.”

        A testimonial from a woman who attended a multiple day seminar evokes themes found on the show: “When I began Executive Success Programs, I was an emotional mess. I was going through a difficult time in my life, and my emotions were literally controlling me. I was allowing myself to be a victim to everything and everyone. After my first ESP module, my life virtually turned around- I realized that I was in control of my emotions and that I could choose to remain a victim or NOT! My life is 100% better today – not perfect, but well on the way.” (Source: http://www.espian.net/testimonials_all.php). After Lana completed her personal transformation in “Power,” she began evangelizing another troubled young woman on the show, Tess Mercer. She tells her, rather hypocritically, “You may have gotten rid of the microchip, but every second that you’re consumed by hate is another second Lex is still in control of you. Don’t be a victim anymore.”

        Bottom line? There are a few subtle parallels between the episodes “Power” and “Requiem” on Smallville and NXIVM philosophies. I wouldn’t say it’s a clear case of Mack and Kreuk crafting episodes to conform to cult teachings, but there is enough evidence, in my opinion, to at least consider how their creative input may have influenced the show.

        • Anyone who’s ever been in a TV writers’ room knows the dialog is written by a group, then rewritten with notes from the studio and the network, and filtered thru the head writer/showrunner….but not written by the actors.
          Even the credited writer of the script may not see much of what he/she originally wrote surviving.
          If “Power” has similarities to NXIVM babble, it could be due to coincidence, to fans looking for a conspiracy, or writers using buzzwords from any and all empowerment movements.

          Or maybe the evil seductress KK slept with all the writers and exec’s involved to make the script lure viewers into Raniere’s clutches.

          • That wasn’t the question. Actors don’t make their own dialog. However Mack was the director and she had a lot of (forgive the phrase) power back then. Kreuk negotiated her return to the show (no sex with producers involved). The show was trying to keep them both happy because they were ratings draw. Mack was going to leave and she was very popular. Did she have any say in rewrites. What happened in Power and Requiem wasn’t organic to the plot. My question to this day is how much influence did this cult have because those episodes echoed a lot of the cult speak.

  • Kristin Kruek seems to be getting a pass, the guys all seem to be getting passes, what about Mark Hildreth, he “recruited” Kristin….why not run his sorry ass over the coals, he was around a long time, and it seems he handed over Jane Doe #1 to the cult also,

    • Hildreth is a total scuzz. He probably is keeping quiet until it blows over and hopes he doesn’t get implicated in any of the tax evasion stuff. If he was smart, he would have contacted the FBI by now and done a deal.

    • Kristin ain’t getting a pass. She’s linked to the “sex cult” in so many sensationally titled articles. I’ve seen people call her a “disgusting human being”, that she’s lying and knows more than she’s saying, that her show should be taken away from her, or that she should be in jail. The men are getting a pass because no one knows any of them and because it’s women suppressing other women under the dictates of a man in the middle of the #metoo movement. The Smallville celebrities have got the worst of it, one wrongfully so, while the real enablers have barely been mentioned, e.g., the Bronfmans, the Salzmans, etc.

      • Which men are you referring to? This Mark Hildeth person? Who else is complicit and should be speaking to the feds?

      • Even though your obsession is uncomfortable to see, this comment is right on the money. Unfortunately Clare Bronfman doesn’t bring in the clicks. Frank used Kreuk to put a magnifying glass on the cult. The men should be getting a lot more attention too as you say.

  • Trying to be objective here,….seems like the haters want Allison Macks head, and she gets no quarter from anyone, ok…she’s screwed up…I get it, she was the top slave, seriously messed up, she held a slave down, took collateral, told the girls not to eat and stuff, supposedly tricked them into screwing their leader….shocking, but didn’t everyone’s favorite do the same thing, Sara E. held two others down before she got branded, seems she decided to come clean only after she found out it was Vanturds initials branded on her flesh, didn’t she pretty much run a Nxivm center for years? how many did she recruit?…..how much did she benefit from Nxivm?…

    • Well, Allison was reportedly the one who had the idea with the branding. The reason was likely to gain favor with KR and to become his first among many. She certainly started out as a victim, same as pretty much every single of the women in this cult. But some got corrupted beyond redemption and Allison might be one of them.

      But I agree with you that Sarah Edmondson isn’t clean as a whistle either.
      She was one of the primary enablers and recruiters in Vancouver and the one who brought many of these actresses into NXIVM.
      She was the one who referred Nicki Clyne (who then recruited Grace Park).
      She stayed with the cult when the sex with minors story broke.
      She only got out after she got branded.
      Her description how she got slowly sucked in is, however, quite insightful and that should be considered when talking about anyone who wasn’t on the top tier level of this brainwashing organization.

      The true devil behind all of this is K., Everyone else of the women, regardless how instrumental or evil they later became, started out as a victim he then corrupted.

      • Was it Clyne who recruited Park or Edmondson? Wasn’t Park one of Edmondson’s bridesmaids? And those two go back to Edgemont.

        People bring up that Albany Times Union series in 2012 but was it widely distributed among cult members, especially to those in other cities back then? It’s not like the Albany Times Union is the NYT, although I’m pretty sure when Allison went public with her Raniere is my mentor that some comments on her blog did bring up that article and one cult member even replied. The comment was interesting cuz you could see how the members viewed that news — if it was true, he would be arrested and that’s not been my reality with the courses/workshops, etc.

        • I read somewhere that Nicki Clyne was the one who referred Grace Park. Not sure if it’s true or not, but it would kind of make sense as they were both working together on Battlestar Galactica back then. Nicki got in way earlier and way deeper fast. From all I can tell so far, Grace never went anywhere near as deep into this cult.

          As for that Albany Times Union series, since the authorities obviously dropped the ball to go after KR and NXIVM for those allegations, it was easy for the cult to just dismiss it as gossip and slander.
          But it seems Kristen Kreuk took it serious enough to let her connection with NXIVM go cold. For good reasons she didn’t officially quit and didn’t make a fuzz about leaving. Just have a look at those who left openly and denouncing NXIVM and what a hit they took to get an understanding why. And that was very likely also the reason why she didn’t tell her “friends” within NXIVM to leave as well.

          People need to get an understanding on how easy it can be to get sucked into something like this and how tricky it can be to get unharmed out of such an organization that has the money and legal power to destroy you. Frank should actually know and understand…

    • Let’s not forget these are all C list celebs who saw NXIVM as a great way to network and boost their floundering careers. The fact that they were all stupid enough to fall for a guy who made a single claim, out of the menagerie of claims, that Keith made about himself is hilarious. Mark Vincente & his wife left AFTER Forbes, Vanity Fair, New York Magazine and the Albany Times Union had already done cautionary articles. For a guy who makes his money from Film Directing, he sure liked to turn a blind eye to credible media outlets.

      Karma served right up on a platter.

      Sarah Edmondson’s husband has a degree in History from Brown (or rather daddy bought him his degree). The basic critical thinking skills required to read or write a basic history essay sorta preclude you from being duped by a hairy garden gnome redefining words (ya know those things rooted in HISTORY) into Ad Hoc arguments about ethics.

      Karma is a bitch, especially to those with ambition and avarice in their hearts.

  • Is Allison sad looking in the pic because she’s sad about the realization of what she’s done or sad she’s been caught?

    • What do you think? She’s staring down a possible 15 year sentence. You’d be sad too. Fact is the girl is a victim turned perpetrator. That’s what is sad. KR is the true villain in all of this. Everyone else is just twisted

  • I bet Nancy & Lauren are next. Gov’t is going to build their best case around the money and paper trails these idiots so ethically left behind themselves.

  • Went private today. India will need to mole big time to counter her CC-2 role.

    I’m hoping Lauren is next. All accounts describe her as having zero conscience.

    • Hilarious part is that Nicki Clyne is getting off scott free. Try posting on her instagram and she will ban you. She has done it to lots of people so far. She thinks she is getting away

      • What about the multiple threads on her twitter that are still up?

        I doubt that she thinks she’s getting away unless she turns state.

    • India Instagram update: she hasn’t posted to IG since 13th April but today (Sunday 22nd April) has been active following a few random accounts and liking some posts.

  • Lauren? Clare? India? Nicki? Maybe Nancy, she’s been evil and laundering money for so long, it’ll be nice when karma catches up with her.

    My vote’s with Lauren. #2 in DOS after Allison. Here’s a description of Lauren branding Sarah Edmondson:

    “I flew into Albany in March. I was getting my special initiation, and what I was told was a tattoo. I had heard about this months prior, and the tattoo was actually my main concern. The concept of the master/slave relationship was weird for me, but the main thing was that I didn’t want to get a tattoo. I don’t have any tattoos, and I don’t have any piercings other than my ears—I didn’t want to get a tattoo. And Lauren just said, “We’ll work with you on that—you just have some fears.” She brings me up to her guest room, says take off your clothes, and put on a blindfold. And I was like, “What?” She was like, “Just do it. You took a vow of obedience. It’s just me, Sarah. Come on, just take your clothes off.” She’s seen me naked before, so I was like, OK, whatever.

    I put the blindfold on, and I hear movement in the house. I know the other girls are coming. And then there I am sitting with four other women. All of them I knew from Nxivm. Not well—I hadn’t seen them naked. And now we’re just sitting there cross-legged, very much exposed, and very vulnerable. We all thought it weird, but Lauren just said, “Guys, get over it. Get over your body issues. It’s no big deal. We’re a sorority. We’re a sisterhood—relax.” Everything was just normalized. That’s one of the things: If you were uncomfortable with it, it was just your issue. It was really hard to speak up, and go, “Hey, guys, this isn’t right. Why are we doing this?”

    And then Dr. [Danielle] Roberts came in, who I also knew from Nxivm. We took turns holding one another down—three would be on them and the fourth would be filming. This is all on camera somewhere. The first woman lay on the table and then the other women and I were sitting on her holding her legs down. With the first cut of her flesh—they burned her flesh—we were crying, we were shaking, we were holding one another. It was horrific. It was like a bad horror movie. We even had these surgical masks on because the smell of flesh was so strong. I felt petrified. I felt—every part of my body was like: Get out of here. Run.

    The entire time I was thinking, I don’t have a car. I’m naked. I’m in Knox Woods, Clifton Park. What am I going to do, text my husband? Then I’m going to blow this thing up, and I can’t do that, because I made a vow of secrecy… How do I do this? And then I just said, Fucking do it, just do it. So I watched two other people, then I went. I really believe that the only way to get out is to do what I did—disassociate. I wasn’t present mentally. I went somewhere else. I thought about giving birth to my son, I thought about how much I loved him, and I thought about being strong, and I just focused on that. I just brought up a loving state, a really strong loving state. And the pain [of the burn] oh my God, imagine someone taking a lit match to your crotch and drawing a line with it.

    I felt fear after I was in, after I committed, and when I gave more collateral to commit—that’s when I gave a nude photo and video testimonials—trash talking all the important relationships in my life. That’s what I did to collateralize. Which, by the way, was nothing compared to what other women gave. I didn’t find that out until later. Other women gave full frontal videos of themselves, I Wonder where those went. I didn’t want my collateral to be released, which is how they kept us quiet.

    Now my mentality has completely changed. I had to do a whole bunch of therapy just to figure out the shame of my actions and the guilt behind bringing so many people into the organization. I Missed a lot of the red flags. I’m definitely on the healing end of things to even be able to talk about this. There are women who are out who are branded who cannot do this. There are women who literally cannot get out of bed because they’re in so much pain, not just physically, but they’re lost. It’s really destructive what they did.

    The best metaphor I can use to explain it is the frog and the boiling pot of water. If Lauren had said to me, “Hey, want to join this group? You’re going to have Keith’s initials burned into your crotch.” Of course I would have said, “You’re crazy. Get yourself to a psychologist.” But it didn’t happen that way. It happened in very incremental stages, with more and more commitment and more on the line, and more coercion and blackmail. A lot of people say you could just run out. You could leave. I just didn’t feel like that was an option at the time.”

    From: https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/xwaaxd/why-i-joined-a-secret-society-that-branded-me

      • “In the last curriculum, we had to take a gender-based relationship, sex, and identity program. Keith taught us that one of the strongest imperfections of the female gender—among other things—is that we’re weak and have no character, we’re indulgent emotionally, and we’re princesses; I can see all this now is just fucking bullshit, excuse my language. One of the things he taught us was women are always looking for the back door. Even if we get married we think, Oh, we can still get divorced. We’re always looking at a better opportunity. Which now I see in my opinion is Keith’s view on women.

        The tricky way I believe he got that indoctrination in, is he wasn’t saying these are his views, he was saying this is how women are perceived and this is why women aren’t equal in the world, because they’re perceived this way. This is how men see you. He was pretending, it seems to me, now that I’m out, to be an ambassador for women. An ambassador to help women get over these things so they can be strong. I did ten eight-day trainings. So 80 14-hour days on this particular topic. That’s a lot of time. And there was a lot of information plugged in there that I’m just sorting out now, like what do I believe, what do I not believe.”

    • Yeah, she had someone do the site for her. Probably they decided it was time to take it down now that she is in jail and won’t be paying her hosting fees.

    • That does look suspended.
      Just want to mention, usually lawyers tell people to take everything down.
      I have a friend who lives in the states who was charged with a DUI and assaulting a police officer (later acquitted of both charges), but all communication outside of work e-mail completely ceased immediately after the arrest.
      People usually have a lot of self-incriminating junk out there, and in simple cases, they don’t dig into all the social media history like I believe they will have in this case.
      Every tweet, facebook post, e-mail, text, cell phone photo, all of it, has probably already been subpeonaed.

  • Poor guy. What do you call a stalker of an alleged stalker then? Who seeks out my alias on forum(s) and looks at my posting history there? Whose pathetic response is an attempt at mocking me and my fanship of celebrity?

    It’s ironic because I don’t bring Kristin up out of the blue. I simply attempt to defend her against wrongful accusations or try to clear up misinformation from what I know about her.

    • Well SoS, why not asking peter@dkl.bc.ca ?

      Job is done, Raniere and Mack are in jail and, hopefully, they will be for long and a lot will follow…
      That was pretty cool to make SFMPE back to life after “he” disappeared from John Tighe’s blog, Saratoga In Decline.
      But now I’m done. I wish you all the best, especially those who was involved in NXIVM/ESP.

    • “what I know about her” = nothing. Correction, you know where to find her parents.

      “my fanship of celebrity” …so you’re a fan of celebrity? That makes about as much sense as you.

      You aspire to be a knight in shining armor but instead you’re a fedora wearing creep. Here’s a tweet of yours from 2 days ago: “Men, this is #WhatYoureReallyThinking: sex, sex, sex, great game last night, sex, sex, nice car, sex, sex, sex, I could really use a cheeseburger right now, sex, sex, I wish I had more money, sex, sex, sex, sex.” https://twitter.com/SultanOfSix/status/987081210697519104

      Your obsession with Kristin Kreuk does her no favors. It just keeps us talking about her.

      Talking about how Kristin Kreuk joined NXVIM in late 2005/2006 and left in 2012 or 2013, depending on whose first-hand reports are most accurate. That’s a lot of years. And hers was no casual involvement. She was a coach. It took thousands of hours to get to coach. And Kristin Kreuk recruited people, directly, like Allison Mack and Kendra Voth, and indirectly, through her celebrity (the same celebrity power that fuels your obsession for an insane amount of years).

      Kristin Kreuk had substantial involvement with NXIVM. Without Kristin Kreuk’s involvement in NXIVM, Allison Mack would never have become involved.

      • Hi. I was a coach. It takes zero hours. It only takes an application form. And… you are not a full coach until you are 3 stripes (I was 1 stripe). They said that if you get stuck at 2 stripes, it’s because you are defiant and have issues to still work out. So Kristen, like many many others didn’t get to full coach.

      • — what I know about her” = nothing.

        Actually, I know quite a bit about her from articles I’ve read and interviews I’ve watched. So, it is substantially more than nothing. I didn’t say I knew her personally.

        — Correction, you know where to find her parents.

        Correction. I knew where to find her father’s public email from his company website, something I learned from what I mentioned above.

        — “my fanship of celebrity” …so you’re a fan of celebrity? That makes about as much sense as you.

        I made a typo: “my fanship of *a* celebrity”. I’m sorry you’re too stupid to figure that out from the obvious context and had to focus on it and say nothing.

        — You aspire to be a knight in shining armor but instead you’re a fedora wearing creep.

        I really don’t care what you consider me. You’re opinion of me is irrelevant and won’t change anything about my fanship of her.

        — Here’s a tweet of yours from 2 days ago: “Men, this is #WhatYoureReallyThinking: sex, sex, sex, great game last night, sex, sex, nice car, sex, sex, sex, I could really use a cheeseburger right now, sex, sex, I wish I had more money, sex, sex, sex, sex.” https://twitter.com/SultanOfSix/status/987081210697519104

        LOL. You’re stalking me on Twitter now in addition to the fan forum you obviously have an account on because you can’t see anything without one. Do you think I’m stupid?

        Regardless, that’s called a hashtag game tweet. Plenty of people play them on Twitter for fun. Some tweets are serious and some are made in an attempt to be comedic. What you see is the latter.

        — Your obsession with Kristin Kreuk does her no favors. It just keeps us talking about her.

        You’re such a liar. If she wasn’t mentioned here, I wouldn’t bring her up. I’m reactive, not proactive.

        All of this has already been answered in the comment section of multiple posts. You know it and you keep repeating it like it hasn’t been. Your disingenuousness is transparent.

  • I already made my point about the word recruit. Read it next time.

    No one denied Kristin was a coach. So what? She still had nothing to do with DOS. Are you mad? Also, thousands of hours is ridiculous hyperbole. Working 40 hours per week for the entire year with a 2 week vacation is a few thousand hours. You don’t even do that many hours of coursework at a four year university. She had a yellow sash with two stripes. They didn’t even hold intensives except periodically throughout the year.

    And there is nothing nefarious about hanging out with old friends.

    • Please, Ms Kreuk : Date this guy once for all !!!, you’ll juste have to wear a niqab !.. And to bring your sister, as “one man has as much value as two women”…

      Seriously, what are your plans SoS ?

    • HELLO NEW VISITORS TO FRANKREPORT!

      Meet SultanOfSix, our resident Kristin-stalker. He’s been stalking poor Kristin for years and years, even going so far as contacting her parents, without a clue how inappropriate his behavior is. Any forum dedicated to Kristin is sure to have many posts from him. Including a Smallville Lana forum with 700+ SultanOfSix posts including in discussions about how sexy Kristin is because she’s half-Asian. Real enlightened stuff.

      SultanOfSix is perfectly harmless unless you whisper “Kristin” three times. Then he instantly appears out of nowhere and with his superior logic (not really), lack of facts, and a generous topping of ugly profanity, he will not let go his Kristin bone.

      • Nooo nooo nooo noo nooo !!! Shhhht shhht shhht shhhht !!!! Don’t say the name you know it hasn’t to be said, please !!!

      • I think, the most problematic issue is that the girl (I won’t say the name here, because it hasn’t to be said for the reasons we know why here) has the luck, IMHO, to be very close to the ideal female face… I think this is some kind of male-brainfuck beauty… And it might affect the most fragile minds… But I might be totally wrong !

        • It’s fascinating how only Kristin Kreuk gets the crazies worked up. Acting ability is about the same, and arguably Kreuk’s roles have been flatter and less-dimensional tham characters portrayed by Mack, Clyne, etc, which leaves looks as the causal variable.

          I think you’re exactly right about the ideal archetypal face (thank you for that great read). Humans also ascribe greater intelligence and other positive characteristics based upon beauty: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3469615/Blinded-beauty-Good-looking-people-seen-intelligent-views-skewed-attractiveness-halo.html

          • Yeah. You’re one of those crazies who tried to pretend not to be. Sultan defends her but you castigate her. You’re just as obsessed, but at least his obsession is based on liking the girl which is less crazy.

          • Your all consuming hatred of KK is a much bigger problem that SOS’s defensive fandom.

            If you (and SFMPE) would just stop bringing up KK’s name in posts that aren’t even about her, maybe SOS can stop posting about KK and do something useful, like jerking off.

        • Jerking off is pretty useful. It keeps the pipes working.

          Regardless, F off you disingenuous d-bag and your dozens of aliases.

  • I truly wish Keith would get sentenced to solitary confinement for the rest of his life with nothing but permanent pictures of Clare Bronfman in his cell and Sara Bronfman Twitter quotes shining on and off on a permanent loop. Years of deprogamming and Allison still might have hope of a future fruitful life. I wouldn’t date that crazy white girl when she gets out though.

  • I think it would be awesome if somehow a Mexican Drug Cartel or two gets caught up in all this. It just seems like the next piece.

  • Prefect is in Belize if she has a single clue.

    Lauren Salzman is pry the next one arrested.

    Time to start talking ladies of DOS, save what little dignity your families have left.

  • How about Lauren Salzman – she is a key player in all this DOS crap?

    Lauren Salman is a master manipulator. DOS could not have grown as big without her brainwashing tools. She has kept women under control from her Vanturd and her mom Nancy Salman for decades now.

  • Frank, I think it’s time to shift the focus to Nicki Clyne, Brofman sisters and India Oxenberg.

      • I agree. They need to be next along with Nicki Clyne. Nicki Clyne removes and bans people who speak on her instagram or twitter. Give it a shot. You watch. She can’t handle the truth.

          • Honestly, I get a more exhausted and depressed vibe. Especially if you look at some of the older instagram stuff. There’s a pic from June of 16 where she looks perfectly fine and then the next pic from July starts looking more and more run down.

          • Raniere’s routine of 500 calorie daily diets combined with heavy amounts of jogging and exercise would certainly leave Nicki Clyne and the other women dazed and confused.

            On the other hand, I watched one of Raniere’s bloviating discourses on a Youtube video and Raniere comes across as a C minus student trying to project an air of great learning.

            The women from the get go should have recognized Raniere as a fraud.

  • I’d just like to know when they felt they had a charge against AM that would stick. They won’t arrest unless they have a reasonable chance to prosecute.

    So, how long after KR was in custody did they feel they had enough for AM? After KR threw her under the bus? I’ve predicted this for a long time and the recipe seems perfect at this moment.

    How much did KR negotiate himself out of? How much is everyone else going to take in his name? Not suggesting for a moment they are innocent. Not ever. But how much does he get for cooperating?

    This is the saddest part of the indoctrination.

    Assholes.

    • I doubt he negotiated himself out of anything. Allison is CC-1, a “co”-conspirator with Keith Raniere, along with CC-2.

      Does anyone really believe Allison had the power and control in this situation?

      No. I don’t think so. And no one else will believe it either.

    • When the FBI raided the houses of the NXIVM members, they probably found videos of the brandings with Pimp Mack participating.
      Moreover, the FBI probably has all of the incriminating emails of the NXIVM members.

      Remember, emails never really go away.

    • WitW, they had a lot on AM long before he was in custody. Back in December of 2017, Sarah Edmondson came forward as did many other victims and one of them had PHOTOS of emails/collateral that each girl had to give to Allison and Keith.

      Unfortunately, this is a case of mass brainwashing. Allison was a victim turned perpetrator.

    • It’s all Allison’s fault, me and my daughter are totally not to blame!

  • Allison will get a weekend in jail after full MDC processing. Wow. Seeing her name on the Bureau of Prison’s registry is surreal. Does anyone think she will come up with enough bail to get out on Monday? So far she pledged her house and her parents and the Judge said uh, no. Clare and Sara may be barred from putting up any more money for defendants, although Keith’s attorneys probably goy all their money up front.

    Did anyone notice the forfeiture portion of the indictment? A third prosecutor has been assigned to just pursue the money. Guesses in what money can be seized?

    Where are Nancy and Lauren? Nancy will never be able to explain the 500k. She’ll go to jail for that at least but the Feds have her computers which means all of the curriculum and probably tapes of Keith. What’s a jury going to think about all the hazing of women in SOP and Jness tracks? Me thinks they’ll be disgusted.

    Clare and Sara Bronfman believe they are global royalty superior to average human beings in every way. Sara Bronfman’s twitter is beyond delusional and Clare is a true criminal, hardened. Obviously Clare is talking with attorneys yet somehow she still thinks she’s beyond prosecution. How is this possible?

    • She’s not allowed to post bail. Its been denied. And Raniere took all her money. And they can’t use bronfman so no. I think she will stay in jail

      • I think if Mack came up with the cash, they would release more of the evidence to show why she shouldn’t receive bail.
        Remember, the US atty used the absolute minimum amount of evidence to get these arrests, and the minimum amount of co-conspirators to clearly establish conspiracy.

        Really, every single woman who went and got six slaves herself is definitely another co-conspirator. Hear that girls ?
        And they already have it all.

        I think it is just a game of chess taking their time to arrest people.

        US atty only garnering more evidence in the meantime.

  • No cameras allowed in Federal Court. That part sucks. I think hearings should be televised.

    Still, if Allison has been arrested, the US Marshals Service has a booking photo.

    Laura Darby or Frank, can we try to get a copy of the booking photo? Has the US Attorneys Office released one?

  • MSM will no longer be able to ignore The Bronfman factor of this story. Inevitably this will have to be included in the narrative.

    • Why do people keep using the term “recruited”? This isn’t like the process that occurs when a college basketball or football coach “recruits” a great high school player to come play for him where he actively pursues him by bringing him to campus and showing him the facilities and what great benefits he would get if he did.

      What Kristin and all other people who were part of NXIVM did is similar to the situation of when an existing customer of a company is asked by them to *refer* friends or family as other customers for them and offers the former a discount when they become one.

      This idea that Kristin “recruited” or event referred her as if she’s at fault for what Allison became is baseless.

      • NXIVM has clear hierarchies e.g striped scarves, based on recruitment. Kreuk was directly recruiting at the acapella event. ps I don’t think she is a bad person, just a very average one. I think you know in your heart your attachment to your projection of her is unhealthy and she is unworthy.

        • I’m pretty sure the scarves are based on coursework taken. They’re similar to belts in the martial arts.

          Also, according to some of the participants who attended the the first Acapella Innovations event, they said it was quite normal and nothing seemingly out of the ordinary or “cult-like” occurred as it was focused on the music (check the rarb.org thread). It was the second one which KK did not attend that initiated the entire rarb.org thread.

          I don’t know what some question of worth has to do with anything I said.

          • That’s just not true about the Acapella events. Ben Stevens, who was one of the most vociferous in being concerned and posted on the Casa forum (still up), was clear that he was talking to Kreuk and Mack when Raniere came over to interrupt and creeped him out, even making jokes about the cult reputation. The events were a lure fronted by the actresses. He is on twitter, ask him if you want.

          • Nope. Kreuk only attended the first one. The second one happened while she was filming Street Fighter in Thailand in 2008. The only actresses there were Allison and Nicki. I read through that thread years ago.

          • I also remember reading about the Acapella events, and recall that KK was not at the second event, and although the first event was a lure, it was not the obvious scuzzy recruiting tool that Ben criticized.
            Also that is the way most commenters here have understood the 2 events to be like.
            Maybe you have evidence to share here?

      • KRISTIN KREUK RECRUITED ALLISON MACK.

        To recruit means to get someone to join something. You might recruit people for the navy or you might recruit members for your quilting group. You are the only person on this planet, SultanOfSix, who takes issue with this word.

        KRISTIN KREUK AND ALLISON MACK BOTH BECAME COACHES. THIS REQUIRED THOUSANDS OF HOURS OF NXIVM BS PLUS A BOATLOAD OF MONEY.

        Kristin Kreuk was not a casual participant. Becoming a coach was no casual matter. And she was a coach. From the Aug 2011 Coach list:

        Kristin Laura Kreuk
        Vancouver, BC
        email:
        n/a day: referred by: Mark Hildreth
        eve: 778-998-1692 rank: Yellow, 2 stripes
        cell: coach: Charmel A Bowden
        fax: 604-736-5550 birthday: Dec-30

        Allison Mack
        vancouver, BC
        email:
        n/a day: 604-739-0696 referred by: Kristin Laura Kreuk
        eve: rank: Yellow, Edge, 2 stripes
        cell: 778-835-8542 coach: Megan A Mumford
        fax: birthday: Jul-29

        AND KRISTIN KREUK STAYED ON AFTER CREEPY STUFF CAME OUT!!! Instagram photo from June 18 2012 on Mack’ s timeline shows a beaming Kreuk, Hildreth, and Mack. After the public knew about pedophilia, Kristin Snyder, and so forth.

  • I was going to say it’s a very unflattering portrait of her, but then I realised she probably *is* a hoary wretched mess right now considering what she’s gone through this past week. So yeah, probably accurate.

    Do you think we’ll get any photos at Monday’s hearing?

  • Yes, Clare’s cash is running short. Owning a cult is not cheap. Edgar rolling over in his grave that his offspring and money perpetuated a madman’s narcissistic circus. She has made some calculated but very stupid decisions as of late. EDNY smartly boiling the frog.

  • As soon as Clare’s cash stops flowing, the whole thing is over but the sentencing. No cash, no lawyers, no place to run, or sleep, or eat or hide. Without cult leaders to guide them day-to-day, they will wander in confusion. When Clare stops funding it all, they will turn them selves in for a place to sleep and to get a meal.

  • Obviously, these people are hardly as evolved as they claimed and thought themselves to be. The feds have outsmarted them all. Laughable that Mack and Bronfman returned to the US by their own choosing. Arrogance and stupidity is what put Mack and very very soon to be Clare in a cell. Clare could be free on her own private island fighting extradition almost indefinitely but instead she returned nearly to the scene of the crime so to speak holed up in her NYC home.

    • It’s not really an accomplishment of the Feds that it has taken them so long. This cult has been operating for two decades and likely committed crimes from day one. The Feds should have been looking closely at them for a long time and shut them down at least a decade ago.

      The ones who actually brought this down were Sarah Edmondson and the two Jane Does who are the FBI’s primary witnesses.

      The law enforcement agencies should be embarrassed by the fact that they didn’t go full force after this cult when the first underage sex complaints surfaced in 2012. It may actually be worth looking to see if some agents and judges were bribed to look the other way…

      • There’s a reason why this case is being handled by the Office of the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York rather than the one for the Northern District of New York – which is where NXIVM is based and where most of the criminal activities occurred. Plenty of reports were made over the years to Richard S. Hartunian, the former U.S. Attorney in Albany; Vadim Thomas, the Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Office in Albany; Andrew Cuomo, New York Governor and former New York State Attorney General; George Beach, the Superintendent of the New York State Police – and several of his Inspectors like Rodger Kirsopp; David Soares, the Albany County District Attorney; Karen Heggen, the Saratoga County District Attorney; and a bunch of other local officials. The next question is “How many of these people will also get indicted or voted out of office?”

  • Allison Mack is so ignorant or demented or immoral that she probably had no idea that it is illegal to brand women and turn them into sex slaves.

    Mack was totally mesmerized by Raniere and his bull crap.

    And the New York Post cover picture is brilliant.
