Gosh, it’s an honor to have a comment promoted like that.
Raniere doesn’t have this right now. In all likelihood, he’s noodling over his defense and the possibility of somehow avoiding a long stretch. He’s working up wild fantasies that hold other people accountable for his actions and thinking about how plausible a jury might find his stories. He might actually believe these charges are someone else’s fault and that person is the one who belongs in jail. But he is doing everything he can, rational and otherwise, to preserve this sense of self where he’s some hero saving the world. That’s just human nature.
The closer Raniere gets to his actual trial date, the more this situation will be working against him, in terms of who he sees himself as being. When he is actually confronted with evidence of his misdeeds in court, regardless of whether or not he’s ultimately convicted, that is going to have a big impact on who he is as a person. There’s a pace to all trials where people are forced to make decisions about whether to save themselves or hang others out to dry. You don’t get a lot of time to think about it, you do what’s in your nature. No one is really innocent, it’s just whether or not you were convicted.
To the NXIVM people that frequent this board, it’s very true to say prison changes the prisoner. Regardless of whether or not he’s sent to jail, Keith Raniere is not coming back. The person who emerges will be very different from the one you revered, disabused of the illusions he had of himself after shanking his fellows on the dock on to diminish responsibility for his own actions.
One does not use tech reboot from that. One simply lives with the horror or what they have done, there’s almost no difference whether or not that life is lived behind bars.

What a
dumbass post!Who are YOU, Mr. S M I T H???
Kinda weird how you showed up here all of a sudden, with a
bullshitpost that makes no sense.Pssssst (I don’t the subject was the the important thing about that dumb post!!!)
I know the truth, Smith. You just like that fake name, as it’s also mine. Right!?
PS
I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore.
And there are so many wicked witches. Who’s gonna help me?
Why is it dumb to speculate on what KAR is going through? Why do you trash others’ posts? Can no one post unless you deem it not “dumb”? Frankly, YOU “showed up here all of the sudden.” Who are you?
She or he is just another NXIVM troll that have come out of the woodwork to infest the comments with their hot garbage.

Why do you trash my post for trashing Smith’s post but you don’t trash STOP IT FRANK!! for trashing Smith’s trashy trash post?
Explain your trash talk bigotry, Ms. Juice .
And I told you who I am. I’m fake Ryanne, invention of the she-devil Allison or of one of her puppet masters.
In other words no matter what happens in the trial, if by some miracle vanguard gets out in his lifetime he is still no more. ESP and NXIVM are over and they aren’t coming back. Time to move on those of you still hanging on to this sinking ship.
DVD said, and I concur, that if KAR avoids conviction he will believe he beat the system, and will be up to his old ways in no time.
There are a few smiths in NXVIM. Any guess as to who this auther is??
Somehow Keith Raniere does not strike me as a very reflective, contemplative person.
A reflective, contemplative person would look back over the 50 or so civil lawsuits he lost and try to figure out what he was doing wrong.
Raniere doesn’t need to win the lawsuit to win the financial battle, Captain Obvious.
Frank, why are you promoting even MORE of this moron’s writing?
It’s not even coherent. He makes points that sound ridiculous.
It’s like poison to my eyes.
Frank, if you continue to publish this clown’s comments —- I might have to jump from the highest place in North America to spare myself any more agony. 🙂
