Can we be polite in our comments on Frank Report?

Maybe it’s my fault – for I am often impolite in my postings about Keith Raniere.

But could we try a new approach with comments? Try to be a little civil towards one another and dispense with name calling?

The major purpose of this blog for the last few years has been to expose the criminal Bronfman-Raniere organization – and bust up their cult-like enterprise. It is nearing the time when their foul misdeeds will be prosecuted.

Lately, somehow, in our comments – and I am not going to name names – there has entered a tone – not of one attacking the criminals – but of attacking one another. This is unfortunate.

And I wonder if it would be possible to disagree – without name calling?

Of course, I believe in free speech. I do not censor comments – even those attacking me. I am not saying I plan to censor rudeness, I am just expressing a wish that we be less rude to one another – and yet still debate ideas and concepts robustly.

One former NXIVM consultant – who has contributed a great deal to this site – suggested I ban a certain individual. I do not want to do that.

I also realize – and I have been reminded recently by a kindhearted ex-Nxivm member – that I also have been rude to Keith Raniere – “overlooking all of his good points – and emphasizing his bad points only.”   I will have to consider that and look for some of those good points.  However, I do not think I have called Keith names – unless you think calling him “Vanguard” because it is so ridiculously pretentious –  is name calling. Yet, I have posted some pretty nasty photo-shopped pictures of him. That might be worse than name calling.

In my defense, he and his criminal organization – and the remaining brainwashed members – are the targets,not the commenters.

There is going to be some news — soon. I will be writing about some of it, hopefully, later today. It does not bode well for Clare Bronfman, Nancy Salzman and others. Keith is prison – suffering as he made others suffer.

The time for reckoning is drawing near. Winter is almost upon us – or, more accurately, upon them…

In the meantime- how about a little good will towards one another?

What doesn’t kill you gives you an unhealthy set of coping mechanisms and a very dark sense of humor.

But Scott, the people who have sent me death threats and harassed my kids, etc. are not so nice. And this person writing some not-so-nice posts here, sure seems to be part of the same group of people.

Isnt it funny how someone can harass and threaten someone else, and then when the person being threatened mentions it, they are accused of being narcissistic? Doesn’t make much sense to me.

I’m actually very serious, Scott. There is a police file on these people. I have been subjected to various types of threats, vandalism, hacking, intimidation tactics and online bullying…
This harassment is actually the reason why I started to post here. I’m still wondering if there is a connection here to those same people , or if they just stalked me here.

More on the Ramtha/Dynasty connection please. I know that Ramtha and NxDum were hand and hand for awhile. Especially in the Tacoma office outside Yelm…
Linda Evans and JZKnight go hand in hand and have been linked together in these parts of the Northwest for decades.
They were infiltrating NXIVM early in its incarnation from ESP to the current lay people. The only reason why Ramtha School of Enlightement got out is cause of the bad publicity NVXIM got early on when Goldie Hawn backed out of an appearance at Vanguard week due to a hungry booking agent. After this incident some of the Ramtha insiders slowly backed out.
There was also a lot of stuff gong on at retreats at Ramthas compound and campgrounds that they didn’t want alerted to the general public as Ramthas school likes to go way under the radar because of its conterviersial group techniques and mind control.
Ramthas school is surrounded by thick forests on three sides that is part of a military base. Some of the hardcore Ramtha devotees camp in these woods almost year round.
The maze is the scariest part. Imagine being put in a life size maze where people walk on catwalks above and change the maze as you run around like a rat rushing around for literally hours for some just to make it out of the maze.
Then there is the Paradise Beach. It’s a drill where you stay out in the cold and damp for days at a time in the shadow of Mt Rainer and JZ Knights cozy enormous mansion where only the good channelers get to set there foot in nor the many students who come in droves multi times a year.
You see Ramthas School of Enlightment grasp and fed off this newbie Rainere until the press got to bad and they bailed.
Do your research Frankie. A lot of people who took retreats in Yelm at Ramthas compound also gave NXIM a dabble or two.
It’s like a sophisticated version of The Psychic Friends Network only Dionne Warwick isn’t the spokesperson, ultimately that Tom Cruise title went to Mack

There’s certainly a connection here. What struck me was something they call “The Neighborhood Walk®, an exercise with the power to change your life, intentionally shutting off old habits and limitations and then engaging in reality through newly activated connections. ” reminded me of one of Raniere’s oft quoted habits.

Also this connection with Mark Vicente caught my eye: “Students will also learn the Create Your Day® technique created by Ramtha in 1992 and as was previewed in the film What the Bleep Do We Know?! The student learns to alter the day before it starts by intentionally modifying their neurological state of mind with a plan of experiences for the day.”

Until visiting the Frank Report I never suspected ‘Buddhism’ or ‘Bhuddist orgs.’ of anything untoward. This aspect has been a real eye opener.

Yes it’s amazing how all these bloggers in the comments are getting carried away with other stuff yet this Frank guy won’t even do any stories on the Ramtha connection cause he doesn’t want to lose Kathy Oxenburg who fell into the Ramtha cult as did so many other members of the cast of the classic but off the radar and rarely shown Dynasty TV show.
It aired in the 70s and 80s and owned by Spelling which is why it will never be shown as well as other classic Spelling Shows as Tori Spelling who owns the show is too greedy to release them into syndication. Therefore you get bottom feeders and cult dwellers like Linda Evans and Kathy Oxenberg cuz they won’t rerun Dynasty and let them collect royalties.
Luckily Kathy got on a gravy train by cashing in on India. Linda Evans has a gravy train since she is pretty much partners not only in business but other ways to JZ Knight.
Meanwhile this is why you have all these cast members of Dynasty who ran back to Ramtha as soon as the Feds caught on to the pyramid scheme Nancy, Claire and Keith were running plus the other crimes they are being accused of.
JZ and Linda are trying to distance themselves from Kathy O and anything to do with NMIVM right now.
They don’t want the school in Yelm to get probed by the authorities or media people like Elisabeth Vargas right now or have People Magazine on their tale as the school in Yelm is getting people indoctrinated in droves lately.

The First Friend- being intimate with power
https://www.nytimes.com/1996/07/14/us/first-friend-special-report-being-intimate-with-power-vernon-jordan-can-wield-it.html

“Edgar Bronfman Jr. and Edgar Bronfman Sr.
CONTRIBUTIONS | HARD MONEY 16,600 | SOFT MONEY 710,000 |CLINTON FOUNDATION: 10K to 15K

Shortly after the billionaire businessman Edgar Bronfman Sr. died in 2013, Hillary Clinton spoke at a memorial service in his honor. She described a meeting she had arranged in 1996 between her husband and Bronfman, who then owned the liquor company Seagram and Son, which she said lead to years of negotiation over the return of Holocaust assets held by Swiss Banks. “He exuded a confidence and honesty that won him the friendship and support of Presidents and Popes and people everywhere,” Clinton said of the former president of the World Jewish Congress. His son, Edgar Bronfman Jr., has continued his legacy of political giving, making it difficult to distinguish their donations in federal records. The campaign donation totals above include both men.”
http://time.com/clinton-money/

No political candidate is going to distance themselves from money like that. Swiss Bank Accounts? No worries over that key logger virus. I bet those young ladies who attend Yale also have parents who might like to make a generous political contribution. CHA CHING!

All kinds of perks!

Any government contracts? How much of the American tax payers’ money funded the State Department’s generous gifts of LIQUOR?
“Diplomatic liquor sales top federal government spending on alcohol, according to the AMI analysis. The State Department is by far the biggest spender, with $3 million in purchase since 2009 fiscal year; with the US Navy coming in a distant second with $131,000 during the same period.”
https://www.heraldonline.com/news/nation-world/article88496542.html

“The expansion into entertainment began in 1993 with the purchase of a 15 percent interest in Time Warner Inc. for $2.2 billion. After Edgar Jr. added the CEO title in 1994 to his position as president (with Edgar Sr. remaining chairman), Seagram in April 1995 sold its holdings in Du Pont, receiving about $11 billion in the process. (This sale was widely criticized in the next few years as Du Pont’s stock ran ahead of even the extraordinary bull market.) The proceeds were almost immediately reinvested when Seagram later that month acquired 80 percent (later increased to 84 percent) of MCA, Inc. from Matsushita Electric Industrial Company, Ltd. for $5.7 billion. MCA–whose name Seagram changed to Universal Studios, Inc.–included Universal Pictures film studios, MCA Television Group (renamed Universal Television Group), Putnam Berkley Group publishing unit (which Seagram sold in December 1996 for $330 million), MCA Music Entertainment Group (later known as Universal Music Group), Universal theme parks, and Spencer Gifts, a chain of specialty gift shops.”

Opinions & words between complete strangers on an anti-cult blog are causing emotional distress to anonomyous individuals (some that aren’t even involved in a cult). Am I understanding this?

My background: I’m here observing. I have faint peripheral connections to a couple NXIVM members, that’s how I got here. I stayed because I was a childhood victim of a cult and Frank’s writing is helping me with old issues I didn’t even know I had. (Thank you Frank 💖)

I’m a very private person but I want to address some things as a 20 yrs gone cult member.

After lurking for almost a year I believe 95% of you are the in the spectrum of good people. Some are insensitive to what others are going through but I believe it’s a lack of perspective vs desire to hurt. If the comments hurt, why is anyone allowing the thoughts & opinions of total strangers get to them? And why would anyone intentionally expose them self to emotional distress if one knows the comments are hurtful, or as some say, abusive? You’re perpetuating your own negative reality then asking someone to police it for you. It takes two to tango so either accept it or ignore it or go play in another sandbox because (in the words of Kripalu back in the cult days lol) “you can’t change anyone but yourself.” So, examine your actions for value and payoff. What’s your time and comfort worth? What does arguing get you? It seems like it’s reinforcing a need to feel bad because healthy minded people walk away – it’s a bad energetic investment, their time is worth more than shadowboxing in cyberspace. Go outside. It’s summer. Deep breaths, sit in the warm sun, feel the grass, watch nature, listen to birds & do nice things for yourself. Those actions have a positive ROI. Those are real experiences.

I got dragged into Kripalu when Amrit/Gurudev was on the scene as a child in the late 80s-90s. I wasn’t molested nor branded nor involuntarily enslaved but I was brainwashed before I had a sense of self. It’s still, 20 yrs later, a daily fight to think for myself, to not deny my needs, to learn that the brand of spirituality that was my whole existence was a scam. I lived there & was sleep deprived, protein deprived, made to believe I was some kind of witch in a past life that hurt many people (I’m not even kidding) & that this karma was to blame for a genetic illness I’ve struggled with my whole life. I could only “burn off” said karma with seva- selfless service. I cleaned bathrooms & guest rooms 5.5 days per week (as an adult) for room & board with the promise of becoming a certified yoga teacher. Only, like the chocolate cake story: I left to see some friends in Albany on a day off, ate a full meal & agreed they should follow me back & help me out after I heard myself honestly describing what it was I got involved in. To get into details outs myself & ex Gurudev disciples. We all just want peace. But, to get the peace means I remain accountable to myself, I think before I act, I don’t defer nor answer to anyone but my own good conscience. Most importantly, I don’t want anyone to feel as awful as I have felt in my life over gosh darn blog comments.

My cult experience set me up for total disaster. I was a naive, self denying, free spirit set loose in the real world. I didn’t even understand bad people exist. What pulled me out was having a new group of kind, safe friends. They let me talk, they gently urged me to do my own research, test my old beliefs, they encouraged me to find things I enjoy & exposed me to new ideas & ways of doing things. AKA “relearning how to live.” They took me to a self-defense class & encouraged counseling which I suggest to anyone feeling unsafe in general. (Ah hem non culters, this is how you can help unless you’re really just here to kick verbal sand in the faces of people trying to work through maybe the worst thing that ever happened to them)

And, it wasn’t Amrit that hurt me. It was his disciples… that signed NDA’s & got settlements. I had to pay for my 20 yrs of therapy & those adult disciples just get to say they were victims too & absolve themselves of the damage they caused. So, I understand this side of it from personal experience. And, if people plea out that caused pain, it might not feel like justice, might not give closure. Be ready for those potential road blocks to healing. To this day, I cannot forgive 2 Kripalu disciples for their words & I don’t know… making us hold advanced yoga postures for 30 min at a time, calling our physical and emotional pain “growth,” divulging our deepest secrets in large groups, etc.

I also had a physician there who treated my genetic condition from childhood until adulthood- that honestly requires a prescription, with homeopathics & herbs. When I got worse, I was told I didn’t want to get better or I would have. That it proved the condition was my fault because of past life karma. I was still a child. My condition is now stable with conventional medicine but only after two decades of degeneration. I struggle with self care in relation to my genetic condition because it’s still difficult to believe it’s real and not my unwillingness to practice Gurudev imposed seva… 20yrs later. I’m just left holding the bag & some days are really hard to put in perspective & not sink into self denial, blame & punishment. Non cult people please try to understand this for the Nexians trying to move on.

All of you adults had/have the voice of your own good conscience telling you what was/is right or wrong (both Nexians & in the comments) & you either choose to listen or ignore it. But, you don’t get to blame others for your experience here; it’s a public place following the laws of the land (if you don’t like the laws, spend energy on that). Take responsibility for perpetuating negativity in your own lives. If my caretaker hadn’t been so desperate for some one to present a path to happiness vs finding it within, I’d have had proper medical care, wouldn’t have been a target for opportunists (like how I got sucked into Quixtar for a couple months right after Kripalu when my friends weren’t looking hahaha… hey Scott!). I beg the parents of young children to put their kid’s psyche first before you go outside the home looking for a magic answer.

Cults prey on those with a weak sense of self. The ones that want someone else to show them the way. Only no one else on this green earth can show you your way. I emplore anyone involved in a cult to find themselves without outside influence. Tune everything out for a while. Focus on self care. Then become a researcher for the truth. Hear something on the news, research it. Discern it with your good conscience & critical thinking skills. Don’t let anyone tell you what to think nor how to think. Not through anyone’s lens but your own (eff Foucault, Vanguard, Gurudev). Along with this: *the things you hold as truths might not be the truth at all. Kripalu cult vegans smelled like horrible BO on their toxin free, yoga full lifestyles. My condition deregulates my blood pressure regardless of my salt intake. Comments like clean diets eliminate BO or bad food causes high blood pressure are not absolutes, they’re generalizations & pseudoscience. They open you up to be discredited in this public place. Before you unload your worldly wisdom, know who you are first, test those beliefs & relearn critical thinking. I said really really silly things when I was breaking away, too. Old habits die hard. Take it easy on your poor soul & stop seeking out more ways to hurt yourself or put a target on yourself.

Sending all my love to Frank, & everyone from the ones still in, the ones that got out, my fellow lurkers, to Darth, Scott, Shadow, Flowers & Pea… even ole Ben. You’re all valuable to me & making me see deeper into myself! Keep commenting & I’ll be lovingly lurking moar!

PS- we’re discussing human beings that have been brainwashed and the sadists they gave their power to. It’s a raw, dark, confusing place for the ones that have to rebuild their lives. Healing & unwinding the mess takes a long f%*#ing time. Have patience & be the better person. You could be *really* hurting someone & I don’t believe that’s anyone’s intention. That’s why I had to write a novella when I’d rather be sleeping.

Thanks for the interesting post. So NICE of you to contribute. Actually , you sounds very familiar to me for some reason- must be that “past life” thing, I guess😉

Do you really think the issue here is that opinions and words between complete strangers on an anonymous blog are causing emotional distress? Personally, other people’s OPINIONS don’t cause me any stress at all. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion’s. I think the things that may cause some stress (to me, anyways) are when bullying tactics are used in an attempt to silence, and when someone deliberately lies( by pretending I’m a cult member, for example). And the only reason that causes some stress is because I have no idea why anyone would do something like that.

Flowers, nothing I wrote was specific to you. You’re pretty new here from my memory or I just noticed your posts recently & I have no take on where you’re at or who you are.

I enjoy your writing. And, you’ve expressed that you feel like there are bullying tactics directed at you. It must feel unnerving since you mentioned it led you here of all places. I don’t know the details of your experience but I’m not suggesting you specifically are being upset by words and opinions. There are 1000’s of comments here. And, does anyone know who they’re talking to? Not at all. But the writing here is anonomyous opinions. You see bullying tactics & some don’t. You can all agree to disagree but its beating a dead horse looking to sway or understand anyone here. It’s not the place to seek answers, friendships or closure. It’s, aside from a couple posters that put it a out there, an anonymous discourse= sharing thoughts, opinions & ideas on a website from a free speech country that’s seriously divided at the moment. Everyone’s got crap up to their eyeballs. Some vent, some lie, some try to vampire your happy day to doom & gloom. What you get out of it is just that. I, like I said, have my own agenda to heal and that’s why I’m here. I take the useful info & leave.

I have a friend who was cyber stalked, slandered & had her social media hacked. Once she called the FBI, two people were in jail for it a few months later. Cyber stalking is a crime. If anyone’s committing a crime against you, please involve a professional. Tactics or even playing dirty aren’t crimes, it falls into morals & how we use our arsenal of life skills to navigate our reality. There aren’t rules here so bullying tactics are fair game. Don’t engage or engage but don’t expect answers to why when it’s probably just “because.”

That old the whole ocean in a drop of water vs one drop of a huge ocean. This is the whole internet in one drop. Why wouldn’t there be people out for personal or psychic gain (even just the need to “win” at anothers loss). This is all just opinions (unless it’s a Frank published report or a link) & some have agendas. There’s no like I’m a fair, honest person so be fair & honest back. They’re not here for the same reasons.

This blog is about a cult and their workings, I’m here because I survived a cult & have connections to two members of NXIVM from childhood. Scott is here because Amway is connected to Keith from what I recall. It’s exactly why I’m here. I’m not defending him, I don’t know him. Just most of us have a personal investment beyond ourselves.

If you’re looking for bullying tactics, you’ll find them on any news article that allows comments, not just here. I’m confused as to why when searching for answers to your own situation, you’re immmersed in the same thing at a different place. Is it why like why do people use bullying tactics to silence is like asking why Clare Bronfman hurts people. Because she can. The world isn’t fair. Bad things happen to good people constantly & there’s no end in sight.

I hope you find what you’re looking for, Flowers. But I suspect it’s not in the comments of the Frank Report.

Once again, your comments are like deja vu. I keep wanting to call you by a totally different name for some reason…. maybe something like “Now my tale is Told”… which could also be an appropriate name for your situation.

On the subject of the FBI or the police taking an interest in cyberstalking or hacking of SM accounts, I have to say you are mistaken. I have some minor personal experience with those crimes, and I know, as fact, that the police really don’t care. Actually, even referring to those activities as a crime may not be correct, but it’s a bit of a grey area.

Laws on harassment vary depending on location, but where I live it’s extremely difficult to even have an ex-partner who is threatening violence, charged with a crime.

Also, the police could’nt care less about libel or slander, but those are civil matters, and one could sue if they have proof.

Probably this lack of law enforcement in these areas is how harassers get away with so much (just look at what Scientology has done and continues to do.) If Scientology has gotten away with these crimes for so long, do you honestly think the FBI is going to come running when someone has their FB page hacked? Or when a fake SM account is opened in your name to impersonate you? Not likely.

I’m not confused as to WHY there are bullies here (and everywhere on the internet for that matter.) I’m only curious as to why the exact same bullies have chosen to now comment on this blog. Now,.before you pipe up and say that I have no way to know that they are the same people, consider this – YOU have absolutely no way to know if they different people. Having dealt with these people since 2013, I’m a pretty good judge of whether or not these are the same people who started to harass me in 2013.

As to why I’m immersed in the same thing in a different place, I thought the answer was evident. …if these people are stalkers and hackers then they have no problem following my online activities.

Thanks for sharing your perspective. I got involved with Raniere many years ago out of naivete and somehow retained enough sense of self to get out again after 4 years. It is ancient history for me (long before his cult days), but I still struggle with the consequences. Can’t change the past – can only move forward into the future.

All Canadians are as nice as you, Flowers. All Canadians are nice, remember? I don’t think it’s very nice to say all Canadians aren’t law-abiding, that’s just not a very nice thing to say. I hope you don’t take offense to that, I just want to be nice. If you’re offended, I apologize. Yes, your Prime Minister is very nice, and that’s all that matters. Being nice. My President is also very nice, and they are very nice to each other, and that’s all that matters. Being nice. I have asked Tanster if the lie detector test has been scheduled, and I expect to hear back from her soon, she is also so nice to return my requests. Did you see my comment about the other nice man who stated he has known for years that NXIVM has been nice to Yale and Columbia students, even asking them to join their nice organization? Nice. Nice. Nice.

Scott Johnson (@ScottTexJohnson)

I should have been nicer when I mentioned the other nice man, above. Here’s the link, see my nice comments, I think you will find they are very nice comments. At least I hope they are nice, I don’t want to offend anyone. If anyone is offended, i apologize: https://twitter.com/PheonixSpy/status/1015747316362432515 Nice. Nice. Nice.

There is no place for photo-shops on such a nice site like this. Unless you think not allowing photo-shops is not being nice. In that case, we have quite the nice vs. un-nice dilemma, don’t we? I’m sure Frank will make the right decision for us. Mr. Raniere has lots of good qualities. For example, he is very nice. If you don’t think so, watch some of his nice videos. Not that I am ordering you to watch his videos, that wouldn’t be nice, now would it? Nice. Nice. Nice.

As long as whatever is said about Ms. Hatchette is nice, let’s do an article. Rising through the ranks is quite an accomplishment, and the willingness to do dirty work while rising is even better. She sounds so nice. She isn’t starving herself, she is trying to stay healthy, so she can have a long, healthy, nice life. I can’t imagine someone as nice as Michelle could even consider branding anybody, especially a fellow nice person, or even an un-nice person. Nice. Nice. Nice.

personally I think some of the in-fighting on this blog is NXIVM insiders trying to disrupt and turn people off from reading the blog. If not NXIVM insiders, the fighting is really a distraction.

Like any 2 year old’s who are in need of attention by their distractions. Maybe if we leave them alone and don’t respond to their disruptions, fighting and post that are meant to take attention away from the real issues at hand, maybe they will go away if we don’t respond to them.

Some are never going to go away. I choose to ignore their post now as they don’t really have anything of importance to say. I also don’t want to give attention to them.

Scott Johnson (@ScottTexJohnson)

Golly, I think you’re right. We must not get distracted, it wouldn’t be nice. Anyone who isn’t nice should be left alone. That will teach those un-nice persons. Let’s get back to the real, nice issues at hand. Just ignore the un-nice people, do not give them any attention.

I don’t think it’s very nice to accuse Allison Mack (did I ever tell you she is one of my all-time favorite actresses?) of filming the molestation. If my memory is correct, and I could be wrong, so please don’t get upset if I’m wrong, I’m just trying to be nice, she filmed the gymnastic moves, not the molestation. I think it would be very difficult to hold a camera and molest an 8 year old at the same time. I hope you don’t think i’m being un-nice by pointing that out, the last thing I want to do is hurt anybody’s feelings. Feelings are everything, especially nice feelings. Nice. Nice. Nice.

Anyway… regarding the artist known as The Tanster… it’s funny that one of the things she mentions is that she is disgusted with the rampant rudeness and narcissism that’s everywhere these days. She uses Trump as an example, by the way.

Also, to the people who are pretending to not grasp these simple concepts – pretending you’re too dense to understand logic doesn’t mean we actually believe you’re that dense.

Agree…Raniere is a psychopath, incapable of empathizing with others. Therefore there is no point in trying to empathize with or understand him, as he is not capable of normal human emotions (and seemed to have an awareness of this himself). Anything he did was always self-serving, though it could have appeared otherwise to people who wanted to believe the best about him.

Please list for me his good points that this ex-NXIVM member has said Raniere possesses. Can anyone honestly say that all of these alleged good points were sincere and didn’t serve any underhanded or self-serving motive? These groups always have a good hook. They have to otherwise no one would join. It’s what is mixed in with that which is nefarious that corrupts the endeavor. It’s the intention that grounds it. Sure intentions can change. Maybe they weren’t entirely clean in the beginning and you had a change of heart. But that goes from bad to good, like what is depicted in Hollywood movies such as “She’s All That”, not like what happened here. So no, I don’t buy this here. Plus the guy is an obvious Randian, which is a self-serving ideology no matter how much it claims to mask it with the words like reason and objectivity.

I agree wholeheartedly.
The focus of our scorn should be on the wrongdoers of NXIVM, not each other.
The behavior of the NXIVM elite is beyond the pale of acceptable conduct by any decent human being.
You might be Republican or Democrat, conservative or liberal.
So long as your behavior does not veer into the abhorrent, we can agree to disagree.

But the behavior of NXIVM’s elite in the practice of branding and slavery is unacceptable.
The blatant hypocrisy of some NXIVM people in talking about “women’s empowerment”, a worthy goal, and then engage in dehumanizing behavior towards women is sickening and it’s even worse when the hypocrites are women.
And recent eyewitness accounts point towards the totally outrageous possibility of naive children being taken advantage of by NXIVM sexual predators, both male and female.

These wrong doers must be the targets of our opprobrium, not each other.

Scott Johnson (@ScottTexJohnson)

We shouldn’t be scornful to anybody, we should be nice. There are no wrong-doers, just nice people. Every type of behavior is acceptable, as long as it’s nice. As they say, nice conquers all. It’s okay to be a hypocrite, as long as you’re a nice hypocrite. Being a sexual predator to a child is also okay, as long as it’s nice. Nice. Nice. Nice.

About the Author

Frank Parlato is an investigative journalist.

His work has been cited in hundreds of news outlets, like The New York Times, The Daily Mail, VICE News, CBS News, Fox News, New York Post, New York Daily News, Oxygen, Rolling Stone, People Magazine, The Sun, The Times of London, CBS Inside Edition, among many others in all five continents.

His work to expose and take down NXIVM is featured in books like “Captive” by Catherine Oxenberg, “Scarred” by Sarah Edmonson, “The Program” by Toni Natalie, and “NXIVM. La Secta Que Sedujo al Poder en México” by Juan Alberto Vasquez.

Parlato has been prominently featured on HBO’s docuseries “The Vow” and was the lead investigator and coordinating producer for Investigation Discovery’s “The Lost Women of NXIVM.” Parlato was also credited in the Starz docuseries "Seduced" for saving 'slave' women from being branded and escaping the sex-slave cult known as DOS.

Additionally, Parlato’s coverage of the group OneTaste, starting in 2018, helped spark an FBI investigation, which led to indictments of two of its leaders in 2023.

Parlato appeared on the Nancy Grace Show, Beyond the Headlines with Gretchen Carlson, Dr. Oz, American Greed, Dateline NBC, and NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt, where Parlato conducted the first-ever interview with Keith Raniere after his arrest. This was ironic, as many credit Parlato as one of the primary architects of his arrest and the cratering of the cult he founded.

Parlato is a consulting producer and appears in TNT's The Heiress and the Sex Cult, which premiered on May 22, 2022. Most recently, he consulted and appeared on Tubi's "Branded and Brainwashed: Inside NXIVM," which aired January, 2023.
