Readers are in luck today – for we have another in our series – more wonderful pictures of our Vanguard and his followers, pictures that most of us have never seen before.
The pictures are screenshots from HBO’s “The Vow”, a 9-episode documentary series about Nxivm, and the fight to take it down. “The Vow” appears on HBO on Sunday nights. You can learn more about it on HBO’s website
It is described: “The Vow” is an American true crime documentary series revolving around the cult NXIVM and its leader Keith Raniere which premiered on August 23, 2020 on HBO. Wikipedia”
Most of the pictures are from the archives of Mark Vicente, who is the star of “The Vow”. The other stars are his wonderful wife, Bonnie Piesse, the brave Sarah Edmondson, her formidable husband, Anthony Ames, and Catherine Oxenberg who got into the fight to rescue her daughter, India, with notable success.
Much of the plot revolves around these people’s efforts, working together.
Other Nxivm favorites appear, including others who helped expose Nxivm such as Barbara Bouchey, Susan Dones, and Toni Natalie.
I am told I make appearances in episodes #4 and #7. The 7th episode was filmed in part at my Niagara Falls home when Catherine came to work with me preparing the files for law enforcement. The dossier we created was the blueprint for the entire case. A comparison of the dossier made in Niagara Falls and the indictment will show marked similarities.
Our screenshots today are from the good old days of Nxivm, taken from old photos and films, that the directors use to show the inner workings of the Nxivm cult. This was when our Vanguard was in full bloom and our Prefect was happily convincing everyone of her lord’s greatness.
I understand Nancy has had a change of heart since those halcyon days.
Keith Alan Raniere in his volleyball attire. Some might have thought he was referring to society in general when he said “we have this very primitive culture,” He was more likely referring to Nxivm and his mindless followers.
Keith Raniere in Nancy’s house. He was never shy about eating food – no diet restrictions for him. He made himself at home and Nancy was also always available to provide him with “hugs and wet kisses.”
Keith Raniere had everybody, including Mark Vicente, snowed that he was the world’s smartest man.
The brilliant thinker.
Who can comprehend what is on this lordly genius’ mind? Chances are it was which of his women he was going to allow to give him his next orgasm. He had a very interesting technique in love-making. He persuaded women that the highest result of their sexual encounter with him is to have some of his semen – and hence the women all worked just to give him an orgasm.

Profile in Evil: Keith Alan Raniere
Here is an astounding photo – The Dalai Lama, Keith Raniere, and Nancy Salzman holding hands.
In fairness to the Dalai Lama, he was unaware of the details behind all the allegations against Raniere and Nxivm.
At his lecture, he said he heard “these allegations” of Raniere being an unethical person. And he advised the media to investigate and for Raniere and Salzman to be transparent.
What the Dalai Lama did not know is that his emissary, Lama Dhonden Tenzin, who had come to Albany months before the Dalai Lama appeared, was having an affair with Sara Bronfman. Here is Lama Tenzin with Keith Raniere and his secret lover, Sara.
It is typical of Nxivm that they brought a monk to Albany to help wangle the Dalai Lama’s endorsement. And the heiress who is paying for the Dalai Lama’s one million dollar plus fee, has sex with the monk who is supposed to arrange the matter. By the way, for those who don’t know, Tibetan monks are supposed to be celibate.
Sara Bronfman, Keith Alan Raniere, and the Prefect at the airport, I am guessing to welcome the Dalai Lama.
I am pretty certain that Keith approved and perhaps suggested to Sara to begin a relationship with lover Lama. In short, to seduce him.
The Dalai Lama with Prefect and Sara Bronfman. Keep in mind, those of you who are quick to criticize the Dalai Lama, he is fighting the ruthless Chinese Communists and that costs lots of money. He is outnumbered and outspent and the communists, who are America’s enemies too, seek to destroy him. The Dalai Lama took the Bronfman money because he needed it for the fight and he did warn the audience that Raniere and Salzman might be dishonest and asked the media to investigate.
Followers of the Vanguard can never get enough pictures of him. There must be something in the human spirit which makes people worship another for something they can’t find in themselves. Those who wished to worship Vanguard found him perfectly willing to be worshiped [while secretly laughing at them].His followers always deferred to him, treating him like a revered teacher who knew more than they did on every subject.
If only they had known that his famous IQ test, proving he was the smartest man in the world, was a take-home IQ test.
When Keith got out of Consumers’ Buyline, without criminal charges, he needed another scam. He became the Vanguard.
And instead of selling products as he did with Consumers’ Buyline, he sold bullshit.
He soon found that selling nonsense and half-baked philosophy and self-help notions stolen from other teachers and companies was easier than selling real products. He also noticed that attractive women were easier to bed when they thought of him as a guru as opposed to a businessman.
Because Keith Raniere is fundamentally lazy and never wants to work when he can have sex instead, he needed a competent workhorse, someone able to con people almost as well as he could and who could always be depended on to promote Raniere as god-like. He selected Nancy Salzman and gave her the title “Prefect.”
Nancy takes notes from this exalted being – and will tell the students that Keith gave her the knowledge for her to teach, as if it was the most precious knowledge in the universe, knowing full well that he is a rascal and so is she.
If Kristin was still in NXIVM when DOS was starting up, I am positive that Keith would have had ordered Mack or someone to lure her into becoming a slave.
Agree?
Someone on Frank Report once said in the comments that they had attended a “comic con” style event in 2015 and Allison Mack was asked if she was still in contact with Kristin Kreuk and she said she was not.
We know now that Kreuk was still a member of NXIVM in 2016 and the branding story came out 2017. Suspicious.
If someone did approach Kreuk in 2016-17 to join DOS, it is unlikely to be Mack if they were not in contact anymore.
Doesn’t ring true.
If “We know now that Kreuk was still a member of NXIVM in 2016,” then it seems unlikely that Mack said she was not in contact with her fellow active member Kreuk in 2015…or Mack was lying.
Who is “you”? [redacted] Sultan of Six. Frank Parlato, who exposed this cult and has insider contacts, himself said it. WE will believe him, not a [redacted].
Nobody cares about your rambling, [redacted] You choose to ignore Frank Parlato’s anonymous sources, who are not anonymous to him. WE non-spankers will believe Frank. It must [redacted]that your [redacted] email to Papa Kreuk did not ‘save’ Kreuk. 😆
Here are articles that unequivocally state from anonymous sources, known to Frank Parlato, that she did not leave in 2013, but no earlier than 2016. Wah! Whambulance!
“This site and its affiliates(?) have stated contradictory things multiple times. Artvoice has an article that states three high ranking members all said Kristin left in 2013 and even quotes one of them as saying that Nancy Salzman told one of them that Kristin quit soon after the underage girls story became public because Kristin felt it would harm her career.”
“What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. What don’t you get about the phrase ‘contradictory things’? So unless you can put names to these people on the record to verify their credibility, i.e., the alleged three high-ranking NXIVM members against these alleged two proctors, it’s a he said/she said type scenario.”
Frank has posted things and updated when new information presents itself. And no, Kreuk did not leave after the pedo stuff came out with her name on it in February 2012. She was even seen coaching that year in LA. Kreuk herself said a year later and retweeted Sarah Edmondson’s claim of 2013. But WE know she was still enrolled with the cult after that too. So, shhh.
Are you calling Frank Parlato a liar? You believe anonymous sources you don’t know who say what you want to hear, but dismiss high ranking sources that are not anonymous to Frank who have given him new information? She stopped coaching in 2013 and continued to be a member of NXIVM until years later. From student/coach, to student. Deal with it.
“How do you know? Kreuk seemed to listen to Papa (remember the money story)”
Because nobody on the face of the Earth cares about internet spanky or his shit opinions. Especially if they know that you have been stalking this NXIVM member for approaching two decades. How do you know when Raniere tried to control Kreuk’s finances? It obviously made zero difference as she was still a member of NXIVM years later. You are just mad because you desperately wish you were Kreuk’s hero! You really thought you got her out of NXIVM! Tough titties.
Frank, will you kindly remind this creature that Kreuk did not leave NXIVM in 2013 and was still a paying member and student up until at least 2016. The Spankster thinks you are a liar. He is also on the NXIVM Reddit forum as JRule31 bashing you.
I’m sorry, but having two sets of anonymous sources that differ is not my problem, and it doesn’t matter which came before the other in time as that isn’t an indicator of source truthfulness. Until you can put some names on record to judge witness credibility, one set of anonymous word claims that contradict each other in a he said/she said scenario is just as good another. It’s just a fact.
Deal with it.
I have no idea why you’re quoting some other person on what she said about Kreuk’s papa as if I wrote it because I didn’t.
I also don’t know who you’re referring to as “Spanky” either.
Anyone who wants to “debate” on this site, should give themselves a distinct handle so their intelligent comments aren’t confused with those from the many Anonymice here.
None of these sources who are anonymous to you are anonymous to Frank. You don’t need to know their names. If Frank says proctors have told him Kreuk was a NXIVM member in 2016, even knowing who her coach was, WE shall believe Frank. No matter what you say and how you try to roll a turd in glitter, it wont change anyone’s mind. Frank is an anti-NXIVM guy with inside information and sources, who actually has done something. [redacted]
Man! [redacted] There are two sets of anonymous sources. One allegedly is three high-ranking NXIVM members who state that Kristin left in 2013 like she said in her statement. The other is two proctors who state Kristin hung around and was still a member until 2016, however this is defined. Both were reported on this website or its affiliates. Both contradict each other. Therefore, both can’t be true. Both hold the same weight because both are anonymous, and both will continue to do so until they go on the record so that their credibility can independently be verified, and/or some additional, palpable evidence distinct from their word: e.g., pictures, videos, paperwork, etc., is provided. It does not matter what Frank believes because he just reports what they tell him.
ALL of them said Kreuk “left” in 2013, though the proctors added on she only left coaching in 2013 as the other sources said, but not NXIVM as a whole. Frank literally knows her coach in 2016. Keep repeating your nonsense and the comebacks will continue. Deal with it.
This triggers such an emotional response from you.
And? How does that change anything that was said? The three high ranking members said she left and didn’t point out that she was still a member, which means by default, they didn’t believe her to be one. That’s still two sets of anonymous sources that contradict each other. Everything that was said previously still applies.
No, it doesn’t lol. Sources previously told Frank that Kreuk left in the summer of 2012. Whether they were lying or genuinely believed that, don’t know. Then newer sources said she left in 2013 and had quit coaching. Whether they thought she left completely or knew she was still a member but held that back, don’t know. Then new sources, proctors, known to Frank, told him that while it’s true she quit coaching in 2013, she was still a student and member, did courses, EMs, paid membership fees, etc. Frank knows who her damn coach was in 2016! [redacted]
If she did EMs, paid membership fees, had a coach, etc., then all of this “data” (as NXIVM members would like to say) should be easily collectible as hard, tangible proof, e.g., on the record testimony, paperwork, financial trails, etc., and not simply equivalent sets of hearsay evidence.
*You* don’t need proof. It does not affect your life. It is what it is. If Frank says he *knows* who her 2016 coach is and that his information comes from more than one source, that is good enough. It should not affect your carrot waxing habit.

NYTimes: In HBO’s “The Vow,” the self-help organization’s ringleader Keith Raniere has the unhinged charisma of an internet meme.
The Frank Report answers nearly every question one could/would ask regarding Nxivm except one question…..
……Why did anyone join? The HBO Vow answers that one crucial question and helps in the understanding of the whole Nxivm story.
Frank Parlato’s website answer the other 99% of questions…

“The Dalai Lama with Prefect and Sara Bronfman. Keep in mind, those of you who are quick to criticize the Dalai Lama, he is fighting the ruthless Chinese Communists…”
His Holiness also uses these funds from his speaking engagements, book sales, etc. to support Tibetan refugees fleeing ChiCom
genocide and religious:cultural takeover in Tibet. Gina and I visited Dharmasala in 2001 and even that far back the situation was dire for the refugees.
The Dalai Lama is a diplomat who seeks peaceable solutions and this tact has helped preserve some of the Tibetan Buddhist traditions and saved countless lives.
I’m very impressed with His Holiness’ call for “transperancy” and his own transparency in acknowledging the allegations he’d been warned of before agreeing to a scaled back appearance in Albany, NY with only the Bronfman sisters, not Keith or Nancy, onstage.

Nan looks like she’s stifling a snorting laugh, probably cant look at the lama without seeing dondzen and sara in a hot tub – that and she gets that she’s in the presence of, at worst – a master grifter, or at best, a master of light who see’s inside her shoebox.
Wow, I’m shocked at these people for believing his bullshit, but very proud of them for trying to get others out once they figure it out. I like that they were mad at demon seed. I was so proud of Bonnie (I think that’s her name) she was awesome on how she figured it out. I was really rooting for her and was smart enough to leave her husband there. This man was a conniving evil SOB. So was the thing call Prefect. I kept saying this is a different kind of evil then Scientology but, nevertheless, extremely evil. The same mind control just in another way. I was glad last year when Oxenberg fought for her daughter I was proud of her. Also, once the lady who married Nippy figured it out, she was on fire. I was proud of her also. I also like the way you write you have a sense of humor.

The Dali Llama is a feudal monarchist. While China should not have invaded, they overthrew a monarchy. He didn’t “know”, because he responds to cash, not ethics. No, communists aren’t our enemy. Communists didn’t create the vast wealth inequality and injustice that exists in this country, that is perpetrated by the very people NXIVM recruits. No need to draw upon The Red Scare, the National Razor will come for those trying to seek spiritual capitalism and enlightenment through exploitation. This is how boot-lickers with no sense of self or critical thinking skills fall for cults of personality. One would think you figured out a few things by now, but it doesn’t appear you have, by evidence of your excuses and defense of morons with a lot of vanity and money.
“Communists didn’t create the vast wealth inequality and injustice that exists in this country, that is perpetrated by the very people NXIVM recruits.”
Such “inequality and injustice” isn’t perpetrated by them. The vast majority of these NXIVM members who are celebrities and non-celebrities are so low on the rung of such a description as the wealthier ones have just happened to have benefited from the system a bit more (except for maybe the Bronfman family and rich Mexicans who are much higher up). The real “inequality and injustice” is perpetrated by the global elite of international bankers who set up their central banks and stock markets in all countries from which they “buy” and control national governments and their politicians with their fiat money which they use to control and usurp real wealth, like gold, oil, natural resources, etc. Anybody who has done just a bit research can see this. The control of money is power and real power is hidden, often in the name of “national security”, which is just a pseudonym for “we don’t want you to know who we are”. LOL.
Frank, do you appear in any episode of “The Vow”? I started watching it. It was interesting and scary! But I hate seeing Mark Vincente. I just want to watch Frank and see him fight to take down Nxvim!!!
Are there any new videos of Frank Parlato interviews?
“Kreuk wrote in the statement. “I left about five years ago and had minimal contact with those who were still involved.””
Why does the press keep letting Kreuk slip though? They quote her false statement like it is fact without question.
No, Kreuk did not leave five years prior (2013). She was still an active member of NXIVM up until at least 2016, had a coach, and did courses. By saying “those still involved” she is claiming others were members of NXIVM and she wasn’t. That other people were still in NXIVM and she was not. It is a blatant lie. Even saying “minimal contact” about her NXIVM friends as if they are dirty to her. Wake up media. They occasionally bring up Frank Parlato but ignore so much of what has been posted on his website.
“Edmondson is an actress who has appeared in the TV shows Salvation, Fringe, and The Whispers. She provides much of the commentary of The Vow, detailing her experience with and departure from NXIVM.”
Was Sarah Edmondson ever actually considered a celebrity in any way? Was she evermore than D-list? Surely, her name and face were completely unknown. No wonder she did this documentary and wrote a book. She clearly loves attention. To watch Sarah Edmondson go from complicit NXIVM cult member to having the press celebrate her as a naive, victimized heroine is annoying. Absolutely zero critical analysis of her own behavior. People are finding out about NXIVM for the first time through “The Vow” and DOS and only concentrate on that two year period of NXIVM, but many knew about NXIVM’s activities and criminality before. Including Sarah Edmondson and Kristin Kreuk.
The information does not need twisting and you know it. The facts are the facts and the press does not talk about it. Most likely, they don’t even have a clue. It is you super fans who feel a need to twist things to make excuses for this one member of NXIVM. It does not work though.
Considering Bonnie Piesse’s husband Mark Vicente roped his mother into NXIVM, who according to John Tighe was involved with the laundering of money from Mexico to New York and both mother and son were named in a lawsuit regarding such crimes, sure, they were all clueless. “The Vow” is about portraying Sarah Edmondson as an innocent brainwashed victim who only found out she was in a cult two months after being branded in 2017. Bonnie Piesse wanted to leave but her weak-willed husband tried talking her out of it. And the post was not about Bonnie Piesse. It was about Sarah Edmondson and Kristin Kreuk.
There has been no hard evidence put forth whatsoever, e.g., paperwork, pictures, videos, credible witness testimony on the record and verification of it, etc., that Ms. Kreuk was still an “active member” up until 2016. Such info seems to be either conjured up from your imagination or merely circumstantial. It is easier to believe this than in some concerted effort by the press not talk about it or that they don’t have a clue.
Sarah has never been portrayed as an “innocent brainwashed victim who only found out she was in a cult…” Every member knew that NXIVM was considered a cult by some in the media. It’s taught in the first module. Long-term members just chose not to believe it or believed that there can be good cults, for whatever reason. What Sarah was a victim of was the manipulation of DOS, which is clearly distinct from NXIVM, although the former is a part of the latter.
Frank, will you please educate this [redacted] . You said that two proctors have confirmed to you that Kristin Kreuk was a member of NXIVM in 2016, possibly into 2017 – and that she did courses, EMs and had a coach.
Also, out of curiosity, is said coach still in NXIVM or did she/he leave?
Anonymous sources aren’t on the record, nor have they ever been considered evidence. They mean nothing. Tabloid [cough] “journalism” credits anonymous sources and they’re irrelevant. Kristin said she left in 2013. Either she’s lying or she isn’t. Where is the hard, verifiable proof that she was an “active member” until 2016 and only then left? This site and its affiliates(?) have stated contradictory things multiple times. Artvoice has an article that states three high ranking members all said Kristin left in 2013 and even quotes one of them as saying that Nancy Salzman told one of them that Kristin quit soon after the underage girls story became public because Kristin felt it would harm her career.
You are helpless. Where is the evidence Kristin Kreuk did not lie? Where is the “paperwork, pictures, videos, credible witness testimony on the record and verification of it, etc.”? Kreuk lied to protect her career. Edmondson lied to protect Kreuk. Frank Parlato has zero reason to lie about high ranking proctors telling him Kreuk was still a member up until at least 2016 or beyond. You will believe anonymous sources that say what you wish were true, but reject Frank’s sources who are not anonymous to him. We’ll believe Frank, thank you.
“Where is the evidence Kristin Kreuk did not lie?”
Evidence doesn’t work that way. You either provide evidence that she lied, or you provide evidence that she told the truth. Then you weigh them for both cases.
“You will believe anonymous sources that say what you wish were true”
What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. What don’t you get about the phrase “contradictory things”? So unless you can put names to these people on the record to verify their credibility, i.e., the alleged three high-ranking NXIVM members against these alleged two proctors, it’s a he said/she said type scenario.
Umm…Frank just reports what he hears from those who allegedly talk to him. If they provide information that is contradictory, then that it isn’t his fault. Hence, I can’t be calling Frank a liar.
No, they haven’t touched on much of the vast criminal enterprise. “The Vow” is made by those sympathetic to the cult. Former members. While Bonnie is the most sympathetic appearing so far, you can bet once the video of Keith openly talking about the acceptability of child rape and the regular normalized misogyny of Jness.
This is like a fractal of abuse and criminality that continues with each person involved.
This is the narrative they want before his sentencing; after this, we’ll learn how Sarah and Bonnie thought getting their faces jizzed on was so fulfilling and empowering, at the time, and how they rationalized convincing other women of it.
She’s simultaneously claiming ignorance and higher intellect, while the rest of the world is aghast from the get-go. There’re no heroes in this, when you consider the principles that drew them in and what they ignored in their own self-interest. Greed and vanity.
This seems like a reasonable description. None of these people have been forced on camera to answer “yes-no” questions about what they knew about and ignored.

Fabulous article.
There was a flattering program on BBC World Service radio,about Dhonden Tenzin about a week ago, where he laughed and joked about being the ‘Disco Lama’ and his drink and drugs history.
He seems to be a complete degenerate.
Perfect for NXIVM.
You could probably find the program on the BBC website.
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.

[…] Part 3: More Great New Nxivm Pictures From the Vow on HBO – Mostly of the Vanguard Himself […]
Episode 4 of the Vow has Mark V assuming Kreuk left Nx because she was frightened off when approached to join DOS.
Women were always recruited by their friends in DOS…so if Kreuk was approached, the most likely friend would have been Mack.
If Kristin was still in NXIVM when DOS was starting up, I am positive that Keith would have had ordered Mack or someone to lure her into becoming a slave.
Agree?
It was actually Episode 3.
Someone on Frank Report once said in the comments that they had attended a “comic con” style event in 2015 and Allison Mack was asked if she was still in contact with Kristin Kreuk and she said she was not.
We know now that Kreuk was still a member of NXIVM in 2016 and the branding story came out 2017. Suspicious.
If someone did approach Kreuk in 2016-17 to join DOS, it is unlikely to be Mack if they were not in contact anymore.
Doesn’t ring true.
If “We know now that Kreuk was still a member of NXIVM in 2016,” then it seems unlikely that Mack said she was not in contact with her fellow active member Kreuk in 2015…or Mack was lying.
Mark Hildreth and Kristin Kreuk broke up, yet both were still members of the cult years later. Ally Wack-off was based in Albany. Kreuk in Canada.
“We know now that Kreuk was still a member of NXIVM in 2016 and the branding story came out 2017.”
You keep saying that over and over again, but no “we” don’t.
Who is “you”? [redacted] Sultan of Six. Frank Parlato, who exposed this cult and has insider contacts, himself said it. WE will believe him, not a [redacted].
Who is “we”? Are you royalty? Do you speak for a select group of people? Do you think you speak for all people?
No “we” don’t if “we” includes other people including myself. For example, here is the article that was mentioned that unequivocally states from other anonymous sources that she did leave in 2013 in concordance with her statement that contradicts such a notion: https://artvoice.com/2019/04/22/three-former-high-rank-kristin-kreuk-left-nxivm-in-2013/
So it is far from conclusive that she was a member of NXIVM in 2016 let alone an “active” one.
Nobody cares about your rambling, [redacted] You choose to ignore Frank Parlato’s anonymous sources, who are not anonymous to him. WE non-spankers will believe Frank. It must [redacted]that your [redacted] email to Papa Kreuk did not ‘save’ Kreuk. 😆

[redacted] She lied to protect her career. Deal with it. [redacted]

“What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. What don’t you get about the phrase ‘contradictory things’? So unless you can put names to these people on the record to verify their credibility, i.e., the alleged three high-ranking NXIVM members against these alleged two proctors, it’s a he said/she said type scenario.”
You really are an insufferable fart, Spanky.
Frank has posted things and updated when new information presents itself. And no, Kreuk did not leave after the pedo stuff came out with her name on it in February 2012. She was even seen coaching that year in LA. Kreuk herself said a year later and retweeted Sarah Edmondson’s claim of 2013. But WE know she was still enrolled with the cult after that too. So, shhh.
Are you calling Frank Parlato a liar? You believe anonymous sources you don’t know who say what you want to hear, but dismiss high ranking sources that are not anonymous to Frank who have given him new information? She stopped coaching in 2013 and continued to be a member of NXIVM until years later. From student/coach, to student. Deal with it.
“How do you know? Kreuk seemed to listen to Papa (remember the money story)”
Because nobody on the face of the Earth cares about internet spanky or his shit opinions. Especially if they know that you have been stalking this NXIVM member for approaching two decades. How do you know when Raniere tried to control Kreuk’s finances? It obviously made zero difference as she was still a member of NXIVM years later. You are just mad because you desperately wish you were Kreuk’s hero! You really thought you got her out of NXIVM! Tough titties.
Frank, will you kindly remind this creature that Kreuk did not leave NXIVM in 2013 and was still a paying member and student up until at least 2016. The Spankster thinks you are a liar. He is also on the NXIVM Reddit forum as JRule31 bashing you.
I’m sorry, but having two sets of anonymous sources that differ is not my problem, and it doesn’t matter which came before the other in time as that isn’t an indicator of source truthfulness. Until you can put some names on record to judge witness credibility, one set of anonymous word claims that contradict each other in a he said/she said scenario is just as good another. It’s just a fact.
Deal with it.
I have no idea why you’re quoting some other person on what she said about Kreuk’s papa as if I wrote it because I didn’t.
I also don’t know who you’re referring to as “Spanky” either.
Anyone who wants to “debate” on this site, should give themselves a distinct handle so their intelligent comments aren’t confused with those from the many Anonymice here.
None of these sources who are anonymous to you are anonymous to Frank. You don’t need to know their names. If Frank says proctors have told him Kreuk was a NXIVM member in 2016, even knowing who her coach was, WE shall believe Frank. No matter what you say and how you try to roll a turd in glitter, it wont change anyone’s mind. Frank is an anti-NXIVM guy with inside information and sources, who actually has done something. [redacted]
Man! [redacted] There are two sets of anonymous sources. One allegedly is three high-ranking NXIVM members who state that Kristin left in 2013 like she said in her statement. The other is two proctors who state Kristin hung around and was still a member until 2016, however this is defined. Both were reported on this website or its affiliates. Both contradict each other. Therefore, both can’t be true. Both hold the same weight because both are anonymous, and both will continue to do so until they go on the record so that their credibility can independently be verified, and/or some additional, palpable evidence distinct from their word: e.g., pictures, videos, paperwork, etc., is provided. It does not matter what Frank believes because he just reports what they tell him.
No.
ALL of them said Kreuk “left” in 2013, though the proctors added on she only left coaching in 2013 as the other sources said, but not NXIVM as a whole. Frank literally knows her coach in 2016. Keep repeating your nonsense and the comebacks will continue. Deal with it.
This triggers such an emotional response from you.
And? How does that change anything that was said? The three high ranking members said she left and didn’t point out that she was still a member, which means by default, they didn’t believe her to be one. That’s still two sets of anonymous sources that contradict each other. Everything that was said previously still applies.
No, it doesn’t lol. Sources previously told Frank that Kreuk left in the summer of 2012. Whether they were lying or genuinely believed that, don’t know. Then newer sources said she left in 2013 and had quit coaching. Whether they thought she left completely or knew she was still a member but held that back, don’t know. Then new sources, proctors, known to Frank, told him that while it’s true she quit coaching in 2013, she was still a student and member, did courses, EMs, paid membership fees, etc. Frank knows who her damn coach was in 2016! [redacted]
If she did EMs, paid membership fees, had a coach, etc., then all of this “data” (as NXIVM members would like to say) should be easily collectible as hard, tangible proof, e.g., on the record testimony, paperwork, financial trails, etc., and not simply equivalent sets of hearsay evidence.
I’ll wait for it.
*You* don’t need proof. It does not affect your life. It is what it is. If Frank says he *knows* who her 2016 coach is and that his information comes from more than one source, that is good enough. It should not affect your carrot waxing habit.
What’s the deal with the hot blonde painting Raniere’s balls blazoned across my computer screen. I totally lost my shit and spit coffee everywhere. Her judo champion with ball and chain is hilarious.

NYTimes: In HBO’s “The Vow,” the self-help organization’s ringleader Keith Raniere has the unhinged charisma of an internet meme.

Good reviews and analysis of The Vow episodes. ep 4 coming
https://readysteadycut.com/?s=the+vow
The Frank Report answers nearly every question one could/would ask regarding Nxivm except one question…..
……Why did anyone join? The HBO Vow answers that one crucial question and helps in the understanding of the whole Nxivm story.
Frank Parlato’s website answer the other 99% of questions…
“The Dalai Lama with Prefect and Sara Bronfman. Keep in mind, those of you who are quick to criticize the Dalai Lama, he is fighting the ruthless Chinese Communists…”
His Holiness also uses these funds from his speaking engagements, book sales, etc. to support Tibetan refugees fleeing ChiCom
genocide and religious:cultural takeover in Tibet. Gina and I visited Dharmasala in 2001 and even that far back the situation was dire for the refugees.
The Dalai Lama is a diplomat who seeks peaceable solutions and this tact has helped preserve some of the Tibetan Buddhist traditions and saved countless lives.
I’m very impressed with His Holiness’ call for “transperancy” and his own transparency in acknowledging the allegations he’d been warned of before agreeing to a scaled back appearance in Albany, NY with only the Bronfman sisters, not Keith or Nancy, onstage.
Nan looks like she’s stifling a snorting laugh, probably cant look at the lama without seeing dondzen and sara in a hot tub – that and she gets that she’s in the presence of, at worst – a master grifter, or at best, a master of light who see’s inside her shoebox.
Wow, I’m shocked at these people for believing his bullshit, but very proud of them for trying to get others out once they figure it out. I like that they were mad at demon seed. I was so proud of Bonnie (I think that’s her name) she was awesome on how she figured it out. I was really rooting for her and was smart enough to leave her husband there. This man was a conniving evil SOB. So was the thing call Prefect. I kept saying this is a different kind of evil then Scientology but, nevertheless, extremely evil. The same mind control just in another way. I was glad last year when Oxenberg fought for her daughter I was proud of her. Also, once the lady who married Nippy figured it out, she was on fire. I was proud of her also. I also like the way you write you have a sense of humor.
In Mexico, “The Vow” is becoming viral. A lot of my friends who knew nothing about Nxvim are now watching it !! Good job, Frank Report team!
The Dali Llama is a feudal monarchist. While China should not have invaded, they overthrew a monarchy. He didn’t “know”, because he responds to cash, not ethics. No, communists aren’t our enemy. Communists didn’t create the vast wealth inequality and injustice that exists in this country, that is perpetrated by the very people NXIVM recruits. No need to draw upon The Red Scare, the National Razor will come for those trying to seek spiritual capitalism and enlightenment through exploitation. This is how boot-lickers with no sense of self or critical thinking skills fall for cults of personality. One would think you figured out a few things by now, but it doesn’t appear you have, by evidence of your excuses and defense of morons with a lot of vanity and money.
“Communists didn’t create the vast wealth inequality and injustice that exists in this country, that is perpetrated by the very people NXIVM recruits.”
Such “inequality and injustice” isn’t perpetrated by them. The vast majority of these NXIVM members who are celebrities and non-celebrities are so low on the rung of such a description as the wealthier ones have just happened to have benefited from the system a bit more (except for maybe the Bronfman family and rich Mexicans who are much higher up). The real “inequality and injustice” is perpetrated by the global elite of international bankers who set up their central banks and stock markets in all countries from which they “buy” and control national governments and their politicians with their fiat money which they use to control and usurp real wealth, like gold, oil, natural resources, etc. Anybody who has done just a bit research can see this. The control of money is power and real power is hidden, often in the name of “national security”, which is just a pseudonym for “we don’t want you to know who we are”. LOL.
Precisely right! Thank you!
Frank, do you appear in any episode of “The Vow”? I started watching it. It was interesting and scary! But I hate seeing Mark Vincente. I just want to watch Frank and see him fight to take down Nxvim!!!
Are there any new videos of Frank Parlato interviews?
Viva Frank Report!
[redacted]
Greatest comment ever.
https://www.distractify.com/p/nxivm-celebrity-members
“Kreuk wrote in the statement. “I left about five years ago and had minimal contact with those who were still involved.””
Why does the press keep letting Kreuk slip though? They quote her false statement like it is fact without question.
No, Kreuk did not leave five years prior (2013). She was still an active member of NXIVM up until at least 2016, had a coach, and did courses. By saying “those still involved” she is claiming others were members of NXIVM and she wasn’t. That other people were still in NXIVM and she was not. It is a blatant lie. Even saying “minimal contact” about her NXIVM friends as if they are dirty to her. Wake up media. They occasionally bring up Frank Parlato but ignore so much of what has been posted on his website.
“Edmondson is an actress who has appeared in the TV shows Salvation, Fringe, and The Whispers. She provides much of the commentary of The Vow, detailing her experience with and departure from NXIVM.”
Was Sarah Edmondson ever actually considered a celebrity in any way? Was she evermore than D-list? Surely, her name and face were completely unknown. No wonder she did this documentary and wrote a book. She clearly loves attention. To watch Sarah Edmondson go from complicit NXIVM cult member to having the press celebrate her as a naive, victimized heroine is annoying. Absolutely zero critical analysis of her own behavior. People are finding out about NXIVM for the first time through “The Vow” and DOS and only concentrate on that two year period of NXIVM, but many knew about NXIVM’s activities and criminality before. Including Sarah Edmondson and Kristin Kreuk.
“Why does the press keep letting Kreuk slip though?”
Maybe they simply don’t. They just don’t have an agenda to twist the info because of a dislike of her like you do.
The information does not need twisting and you know it. The facts are the facts and the press does not talk about it. Most likely, they don’t even have a clue. It is you super fans who feel a need to twist things to make excuses for this one member of NXIVM. It does not work though.
Considering Bonnie Piesse’s husband Mark Vicente roped his mother into NXIVM, who according to John Tighe was involved with the laundering of money from Mexico to New York and both mother and son were named in a lawsuit regarding such crimes, sure, they were all clueless. “The Vow” is about portraying Sarah Edmondson as an innocent brainwashed victim who only found out she was in a cult two months after being branded in 2017. Bonnie Piesse wanted to leave but her weak-willed husband tried talking her out of it. And the post was not about Bonnie Piesse. It was about Sarah Edmondson and Kristin Kreuk.
There has been no hard evidence put forth whatsoever, e.g., paperwork, pictures, videos, credible witness testimony on the record and verification of it, etc., that Ms. Kreuk was still an “active member” up until 2016. Such info seems to be either conjured up from your imagination or merely circumstantial. It is easier to believe this than in some concerted effort by the press not talk about it or that they don’t have a clue.
Sarah has never been portrayed as an “innocent brainwashed victim who only found out she was in a cult…” Every member knew that NXIVM was considered a cult by some in the media. It’s taught in the first module. Long-term members just chose not to believe it or believed that there can be good cults, for whatever reason. What Sarah was a victim of was the manipulation of DOS, which is clearly distinct from NXIVM, although the former is a part of the latter.
“conjured up from your imagination”
Frank, will you please educate this [redacted] . You said that two proctors have confirmed to you that Kristin Kreuk was a member of NXIVM in 2016, possibly into 2017 – and that she did courses, EMs and had a coach.
Also, out of curiosity, is said coach still in NXIVM or did she/he leave?
Said coach did leave Nxivm
Anonymous sources aren’t on the record, nor have they ever been considered evidence. They mean nothing. Tabloid [cough] “journalism” credits anonymous sources and they’re irrelevant. Kristin said she left in 2013. Either she’s lying or she isn’t. Where is the hard, verifiable proof that she was an “active member” until 2016 and only then left? This site and its affiliates(?) have stated contradictory things multiple times. Artvoice has an article that states three high ranking members all said Kristin left in 2013 and even quotes one of them as saying that Nancy Salzman told one of them that Kristin quit soon after the underage girls story became public because Kristin felt it would harm her career.
You are helpless. Where is the evidence Kristin Kreuk did not lie? Where is the “paperwork, pictures, videos, credible witness testimony on the record and verification of it, etc.”? Kreuk lied to protect her career. Edmondson lied to protect Kreuk. Frank Parlato has zero reason to lie about high ranking proctors telling him Kreuk was still a member up until at least 2016 or beyond. You will believe anonymous sources that say what you wish were true, but reject Frank’s sources who are not anonymous to him. We’ll believe Frank, thank you.
“Where is the evidence Kristin Kreuk did not lie?”
Evidence doesn’t work that way. You either provide evidence that she lied, or you provide evidence that she told the truth. Then you weigh them for both cases.
“You will believe anonymous sources that say what you wish were true”
What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. What don’t you get about the phrase “contradictory things”? So unless you can put names to these people on the record to verify their credibility, i.e., the alleged three high-ranking NXIVM members against these alleged two proctors, it’s a he said/she said type scenario.
You are calling Frank Parlato, who exposed this shit, as being a liar.
Umm…Frank just reports what he hears from those who allegedly talk to him. If they provide information that is contradictory, then that it isn’t his fault. Hence, I can’t be calling Frank a liar.
“many knew about NXIVM’s activities and criminality before. Including Sarah Edmondson and Kristin Kreuk.”
“The Vow” shows that even Bonnie Piesse seemed not to know of “criminality” before DOS. Even higher ranks than her didn’t know everything.
No, they haven’t touched on much of the vast criminal enterprise. “The Vow” is made by those sympathetic to the cult. Former members. While Bonnie is the most sympathetic appearing so far, you can bet once the video of Keith openly talking about the acceptability of child rape and the regular normalized misogyny of Jness.
This is like a fractal of abuse and criminality that continues with each person involved.
This is the narrative they want before his sentencing; after this, we’ll learn how Sarah and Bonnie thought getting their faces jizzed on was so fulfilling and empowering, at the time, and how they rationalized convincing other women of it.
She’s simultaneously claiming ignorance and higher intellect, while the rest of the world is aghast from the get-go. There’re no heroes in this, when you consider the principles that drew them in and what they ignored in their own self-interest. Greed and vanity.
“The Vow” is propaganda to filter the reality.
““The Vow” is propaganda to filter the reality.”
This seems like a reasonable description. None of these people have been forced on camera to answer “yes-no” questions about what they knew about and ignored.
The eleventh photo here, with Flabturd, Sara Twatever and Nancy Salzman perhaps standing and waiting for the llama, certainly shows the energetics coming out of Nancy’s face. What a hideous yutz.
Raniere now has a much more restricted diet. LOL
It doesn’t take much to snow Vicente, he was gullible and into cults before he even heard of Raniere. LOL
Lots of people weren’t snowed by Raniere, it was FAR from “everybody.” LOL
Ramtha is not a cult. Ramtha is a 15,000 year old spirit who inhabits the body of JZ Knight, a 65 year old women (GILF according to Bangkok).
Ramtha is not a cult just like you aren’t a coward, NiceGuy 666. LOL
It is a great article. As always @!
“Keith Raniere had everybody, including Mark Vicente, snowed that he was the world’s smartest man.
Anyone who ever believed Raniere was one of the world’s smartest man has to be counted as one of the world’s dumbest people.
“Here is an astounding photo – The Dalai Lama, Keith Raniere and Nancy Salzman holding hands.”
The Three Stooges
Three blind mice. Three blind mice.
See how they run. See how they run.
They all ran after the farmer’s wife,
Who cut off their tails with a carving knife,
Did you ever see such a sight in your life,
As three blind mice?
“The Dalai Lama with Prefect and Sara Bronfman. Keep in mind, those of you who are quick to criticize the Dalai Lama, he is fighting the ruthless Chinese Communists and that costs lots of money. He is outnumbered and outspent and the communists, who are America’s enemies too, seek to destroy him. The Dalai Lama took the Bronfmanoney because he needed it for the fight and he did warn the audience that Raniere and Salzman might be dishonest and asked the media to investigate.”
The Dalai Lama has been a long time recipient of money from the CIA not to mention Hollywood’s Mr. Gerbil, Richard Gere.
Moreover, both Hitler and Mussolini were anti-Communist.
Easter at Richard Geres’ house
“Moreover, both Mussolini and Hitler were anti-Communist.” WTF? So everyone who is anti-Communist is like Mussolini and Hitler? Is that your conjecture?!? Moreover, Mussolini and Hitler both had two arms and two legs. Idiot…
Fabulous article.
There was a flattering program on BBC World Service radio,about Dhonden Tenzin about a week ago, where he laughed and joked about being the ‘Disco Lama’ and his drink and drugs history.
He seems to be a complete degenerate.
Perfect for NXIVM.
You could probably find the program on the BBC website.
All the best, Frank.
Thanks for providing the link. LOL
Wow, you’ve got to be kidding me about the Dalai Lama.
