Irish Mother: Clare Bronfman, the Six Million Dollar Woman

Editor’s Note: This note came by email from a brave mother in Ireland who rescued her teen daughter from the clutches of Allison Mack – and the likely cruel brutality of DOS – in the nick of time.  The mother realized the grave danger her daughter was in, she said, thanks to revelations contained in the Frank Report. Her daughter is safe now. And Mack has been stopped from her overseas and domestic recruiting of other young women for DOS.  At the same time, Clare Bronfman’s exceedingly light punishment has outraged many people, most particularly her victims.  

By An Irish Mother

Good evening Frank. Just to let you know our national BBC television and internet service did cover Clare Bronfman from early Saturday morning our time throughout most of the day.

It then faded away by tea-time on Saturday. All things considered, it did get a fair bit of coverage on our BBC internet news which is picked up on all smartphones.

As soon as I picked up on Friday that she was due in court at your time 4 p.m. [our time 9 p.m.], I knew what it was all about because it happens over here too. They like to shovel things under the carpet at holiday time.

As for Clare being a Bronfman, I assume she does not adhere to Shabbat – as she would have not picked Friday.

When I stay with my extended Orthodox Jewish family in Toronto, I’m the only one allowed to switch the lights on or even boil a kettle at Shabbat. They certainly would not be making court appearances. I shall say no more on that score.

I know you must be incredibly angry at “The Six Million Dollar buy off” and, while I’m on that subject, there’s a title for a byline: The Six Million Dollar Man or rather the Six Million Dollar Woman — that for sure took me back in time!!!

I want to try and give you some heart tonight. Of course, I’m angry with the sweetheart deal – and so is everyone else and I’m going to say this sincerely from my heart: So many times in my life, and particularly at the moment when things do not appear to be going the right way, or the chips are down, from out of nowhere comes the most incredible twist, something that you couldn’t possibly have envisaged and things turn right round.

I’m 63. I’ve seen this hundreds of times in my life. I bet you’ve seen it also. You saw it last year when they were arrested.

You have done more than any human being. No one had the bravery, the guts, or the chutzpah and the sheer bloody determination than you. So it’s tail shaking time for all of us. Keep moving forward and wait and see what’s going to come round the corner when you least expect it.

Little prayers from Ireland can do great things in America. Watch this space; my sincere love to you and yours: Onwards and upwards Frank — and Godspeed.

  • Your sweet, lyrical sentiments for dear Frank make me proud to be part Irish, meself!

    I’m shocked to learn this could happen here in the USA — under our constitution proffering equal justice for all — that a buy-out like this is part of of our criminal justice system at all.

    Is this kind of a buy-out du rigor — par for justice on your side of the pond?

  • How long ago did this teenage girl escape from NXIVM? If her mother is now 63 (too old to be the mother of a current teenager) this girl must have been involved in NXIVM years ago. Was the date this happened ever mentioned on Frank Report?

    • Flowers – I also wondered about that. How many times has this woman had something posted on FR? Apart from mentioning that her daughter escaped the clutches of NXIVM, has there been any mention of how her daughter became involved? There have been few details. In this post, this lady never even mentioned her daughter. Surely her daughter’s response to everything that is happening at the moment is worth mentioning.

    • It was a year or two ago. She isn’t too old. If it was two years ago, she was 61 and her daught could have been 19 at the time, and people have kids at 42 years old.

  • Great article. Very true. And we have no idea about what comes next.

    Maybe ND or NY State will finally pick up the ball on the financial crimes.

    OHHH yeah, that’s unproved statement that wasn’t making any senses and was just another case of “i was around Allison and she was a monster”. All this, of course, without the slightest proof of the allégations (so in the normal world (outside the Frank report Bubble), we call it a defamation)
    You just can’t stick with the fact Parlato…Can you?
    This “editor’s note” is absolutely unnecessary and serve only to fuel the rage of some of the haters on this …well report!? (i find that inaccurate as report are supposed to state the facts)

    • Anonymous,

      You have no objectivity. Based on the circumstancial evidence alone we could convinct Allison Mack during the Spanish Inquisition for the crime of heresy and burn her at the stake.

  • As an avid reader of Frank Report, including the comment section, this is super sweet and would like to refer to you as, “Momma Ireland”. My heart goes out to all the victims because once again you have been victimized. This isn’t the first time that the law enforcers have done this to all of you. Our corrupt so called justice system has proven many times recently that only the financially wealthy are the true free americans.
