Why Aren’t Osteopaths Condemning Danielle Roberts D.O.?

Just thinking about how apparently Raniere told his followers going through pain would lead to “joy.” When you look at what amounts of pain, such as brandings, fright “experiments,” numerous incidents of abortions if he got women pregnant, the use of collateral to intimidate his flock, Raniere pitting one person against another to compete for his attention, what do you see, really?

Progressively, Raniere and Nancy Salzman made their demands upon others more and more steep. People had to allow themselves to be humiliated, people had to even humiliate themselves, more and more intensively as time went by, and as the conditionalities for feeling acceptable became more and more irrational. Like it or else. Things could always be made more and more awful. You are not being worthy enough. You might be abandoned by him and the group. You would be told how wrong you were. Your own conscience and trust in yourself was being set up for destruction. Happy, happy, joy, joy.

In fact one’s own self-destruction was designed to seem like finally, you were making progress!

The more one fell in line with losing one’s own mindfulness, the more “acceptance” Nxivm and its leaders would give. Pretty much the more messed up you became, the better it might go for you personally. You might even become impotant.

Of course, receiving any approval was guaranteed to be only a temporary blip. Very soon, there would be more demands made, there would be a new “issue.”

So, you are good enough for awhile, until the next time an excuse would be found to send you back down into the pits of self-blame, fear, self-abnegation. Peer pressure would be a big, big factor applied to anyone who was not “surrendered enough” to the entire set-up, the power structure.

Sooner or later, those who let themselves become entrapped by Nxivm and later on by DOS, accepted worse and worse circumstances, conditions and most of all, demands. Step by step, the individuals and the subsets of smaller groups plus the entire environment as a whole, turned more and more ugly, disruptive and sado-masochistc. But you had better like it, be a cheerleader for all of the monstrous experiences, or else you are no good. And you are up to no good unless you obey the ever-moprhing rules of governance.

No one was allowed to have another man in their lives; each female (who knows about the males?) had to be only with, only for Raniere. Meanwhile he was out screwing around with everyone else’s thoughts, feelings, any other relationships they had or would like to pursue and imposing his sexual tyranny and sadistic fascinations upon everyone, willy-nilly.

People were conditioned to ignore, to overlook, to accept and even to sanction and to praise Raniere’s insanities.

If one didn’t cooperate, get with his program, again and again, you’re made to experience shame about your response. You had to take it, had to accept his totalitarianism, his perversions as right behavior, as supreme “guidance.” Or else things are going to get worse and worse.

Everybody trying to be accepted, to maybe hear a scrap of praise. Yet criminality, in Raniere’s name, on his behalf was an ongoing requirement for “success.”

These were merely a few quick, obvious examples of what atmosphere Raniere and Nancy Salzman decisively designed to get individuals unnecessarily off-kilter, to invade peoples’ mental and emotional stability and then to inject their own demands unto their “subjects” and to make them more controllable.

Make someone feel awful, wrong, unenlightened. Make people feel very lowdown, inside and outside. You are all wrong in your thinking, your feelings and must change your way to Raniere’s way, sanction his manipulations and surrender to abusiveness. Buck “up” or the whole group looks down their noses. Everybody had to be like lemmings rushing headlong over a cliff together…or else. Or else every hour becomes worse.

His techniques, if you can call them techniques, are essentially his methods of madness. He kept setting up people to experience nervousness, fear, unhappiness. Then, if there were emotional responses, unhappiness expressed, some kind of argumentation or protest, THAT was being wrong, wrong, wrong. You’re doomed to fail, no matter what you do or say.

You were not “advancing” unless you accepted the big, unreasonable, unfair experiences that he and his head minions dealt out consistently and systematically.

Regarding the so-called doctors and the so-called therapists who supported any of these circumstances, as individuals who were educated to assist others, to heal them, to offer advice or counsel, what can one evaluate, from what they allowed and supported ? Honestly, did these “healers” ever dream that Nxivm and/or DOS was a positive enviorment or a healing or enlightening philosophy?

How could any therapist or any physician ever, ever go along with Raniere’s blatant dictatorship, which exclusively required that he be their God?

These individuals, to me, who arranged for themselves to support such foul conditionings as righteous, are guilty of participating in the mistreatments being delivered to everyone, much moreso than those without their backgrounds and training.

To claim to be a member of a healing profession devoted to healthiness and to celebrate peoples’ suffering, to get off on it – how does that happen?

Or were these pros chosen deliberately for bigger roles within the organization’s firmament and its power base because it wasmseen and understood that these particular people were already corrupt, or easily corruptible? Probably these people were seen as being both, already corrupted before joining the movement, as well as being more and more easy to corrupt, once thoroughly enlisted behind Raniere and his intentions.

These professionals or semi-professionals seem to have seen opportunities for themselves, for their own motivations to be furthered, by hitching their wagons to Raniere. This is a heavier, nastier type of enlistment into the group itself, than whenever some naive person signing up for a course sold as training for human growth potential.

Danielle Roberts is more specifically responsible for her positioning herself in the Nxivm/DOS ranks because she was posing as a healer, not as a regular customer, as she practiced sadism. Brandon Porter, Raniere himself and Nancy Salzman are among those who are more personally responsible for what was really happening, for what was really being done to people, so very deceptively.

Raniere was off- the-wall into his own madness, but his fellow “therapists” are responsible for pretending to not know any better, for sanctioning any of his methods, right as they walked in his doors. Healers who enjoy harming others, under cover of their qualifications, educations and resumés.

Why would anyone expect high moral standards from a doctor these days? Planned Parenthood pays “doctors” to dismember babies to sell their body parts to the highest bidder, and they enjoy widespread support from politicians. America has become morally degenerate and filled with reprobates.
