Keith Raniere, on the other hand, according to his bio that appeared on KeithRaniere.com, who “devoted his life to studying the human psychodynamic and developing new tools for human empowerment, expression and ethics” was, from early childhood, a wee lad “who demonstrated astounding gifts.”
“By the age of one, he could construct full sentences and questions; he was able to read by the age of two…Keith Raniere excelled in judo and was an East Coast Judo Champion at age eleven. He also excelled in…volleyball, tennis, table tennis, diving, softball, cycling, and skiing. By the age of twelve, he taught himself to play piano at the concert level…[and] master many other musical instruments. He taught himself high school mathematics in nineteen hours at the age of twelve; only one year later, he was proficient in third-year college mathematics and was a professional computer programmer.
“Keith Raniere entered Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) at age sixteen. From his first semester onward, he began taking Ph.D. level mathematics courses, ultimately taking most of the graduate-level physics and mathematics courses available at the time. Upon graduating, he became RPI’s first triple major, earning degrees in mathematics, biology and physics, with minors in philosophy and psychology, and an expertise in computer science.”
Raniere had a grade point average of 2.26.
Keith Raniere also told the Times Union in a 1989 story entitled Troy man has a lot on his mind” that he tied the state record for the 100-yard dash.
Young Keith Raniere was a student at a Waldorf School in Suffern County. But don’t blame the school for how he turned out.
And Keith Raniere is not her father.
I nominate Dafne Almaza’n as the new Vanguarda of the Universe!
The most incredible part of this story is how they are keeping it a secret that the Mexican girl graduated from the NXIVM Rainbow Garden school when she was just 2 years old. Perhaps Raniere wants to make the announcement, but that isn’t practical right now. I can’t wait for her to cross the border and rub it into Trump’s face – so much for not sending their best!
Raniere is someone who had promise but did not follow through in any way; especially in ways requiring hard work, study and discipline. That is consistent with his M.O. He has sought and achieved a parasitic lifestyle, enjoying numerous comforts while others saw to his needs, housed him, and paid his bills. Isn’t that what he always desired, above all else? He is a scammer, plain and simple.
Hence, the low GPA. IQ and GPA do not necessarily track, as a lazy bright person can easily achieve low marks.
With all that we know now, it’s easy to see through him.
