Shivani: Nancy Salzman Far Smarter Than Clare Bronfman

Nancy Salzman

By Shivani 

Based on the article, Exclusive: First Report on Clare Bronfman at MDC — Under the Protection of a ‘Yenta’,  it sounds as though Clare Bronfman is doing her best to adapt to prison, especially if she has found a small circle of buddies. That helps to hold off a lot of the pains of isolation.

If her bilious liver doesn’t kill her, Clare has shown signs that she can and maybe wants to survive, via some “thoughtful” adaptation and self-determination, for once. Like a shark? If only we humans could simply regrow teeth. Invent that, okay?

Clare Webb Bronfman with Keith Alan Raniere, her Vanguard. It is reported that she continues with her vegetarian, low-calorie diet in prison.

Heaven knows that Frank Parlato is talented. But I imagined that penguins were as tall as people and could be wrong about Frank, too. Who knows?

It’s interesting, waiting to see if, when and where Clare will be moved to another prison while she is incarcerated. If she stays where she is, that would be unusual. Hint, hint? What could be the possible significance of staying put where she is much longer?

[Ed. Note: Clare Bronfman is currently at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn, NY – and awaiting permanent placement. It is possible, however, that she may remain at MDC for some time and it is possible that she may serve her entire sentence there. One of the reasons for this might be because Clare will not likely be assigned to the same prison that Lauren and Nancy Salzman are assigned to. Bronfman has requested placement at Danbury Federal Prison Camp.]

A Danbury placement wouldn’t be so bad, so keeping her “head down” now is a good plan.

She can always buy another Big Bertha. [A woman prisoner to protect her; it is reported she presently has a large Jewish woman serving this role at MDC]

Later on, Clare can go back to being Flabturd’s [Raniere’s] Flying Nun and can try recruiting suitable raw meat torsos for him, like straight out of Compton, some heavy-duty tuff broads. Clare has a dream, right? Whatever the hell it is.

Nancy Salzman may have been a little too clever in her disavowing of Keith Raniere.

Clare wasn’t smart enough, like Nancy Salzman, the better-organized old salty dawg and pimp mama. That’s right. Pimp mama. Santa has the list. He had the list eighteen years ago. And my, how the list has grown!

Nancy has known enough to pretend to be FURIOUS at Keith Raniere, ever since Nancy jumped up to cop the first plea, right after a certain superseding indictment was read in Federal court against Raniere and his co-conspirators, the five spiritual and sexual slaves and hags. The indictment leading to plea bargains, one after the other, was about sexual crimes against certain young, and certain, legalistically, too young ladies could be brought to light.

Well, holy cow dung! That was too much indictment for Nancy Salzman to manage.

The risk has been too great that someone from the prosecution would ask Nancy Salzman too many embarrassing questions, under oath. How hypnotically and linguistically inconvenient.

For instance, Nancy had a sexual affair with Raniere. Then how was it that her daughters came to be one hundred percent Raniere culties, too? How come Nancy Salzman was screwing a guy and then one of her daughters waited, for how long, 20 years, for a Vanguard avatar baby Baba Louie who never arrived?

Nancy Salzman [l] smiles for the camera as her daughter, Lauren, stands next to Keith Raniere. At this time, Lauren was in line to have a child with Raniere, something that never occurred. Karen U, Raniere’s original girlfriend [r].
This is worse than a good old Russian novel, for crying out loud. Pasternak, Lara! Lara!!! Nancy doesn’t qualify for Dominique Dunne treatment, either. Not at all. I’ll just make some lattés now, with chocolate, and gaze at the holiday roses. Fuck it.

Is it any wonder that Huma Abedin attended at least one Nxivm party? (This tidbit is easily available to research if one is inclined.)

[This is based on a story, told by Ben Szemkus, that Huma and other well-known figures were a Nxivm party.]

Clare and the squatting lumpalump, Keithy-Weethie, supported Madam Clinton’s fascinating concepts of democracy, and Clare/Sara B. were demanding political donations of support to her from Nxivm acolytes. Those who were hard strapped for money were individually informed, sotto voce, that Clare would reimburse them. This is a typical gallop of elitist chicanery. “Do as I say, or else.”

[Clare and Sara illegally bundled money for Hillary Clinton by reimbursing Nxivm members who donated to Clinton so they could legally avoid the maximum contribution to Clinton. There is no evidence that Clinton was part of this illegal scheme.]

The donations had to be spread out amongst multiple donors, to meet a donation cap of about $6,300 apiece if I recall, so as not to elicit either unwanted or taxable, attention. These “Nxivm donations” left an interesting trail of cheap-assed, elitist, financial, political breadcrumbs. Huma carries a big fork folded behind the corners of her horsefacey mouth. Oops. That must be my imagination. The bubbles are popping.

L-R Sara Bronfman, Edgar Bronfman, Clare Bronfman. Edgar was the president of the World Jewish Congress.

Clare is not really that Jewish, regardless of who her father was. He had five Jewish children with his first wife. The subsequent two children with the barmaid [Georgianna Webb] are an entirely different, and an appropriately privatized matter. It happens in a lot of families.

Clare Bronfman adored Keith Raniere and though it cost her extra years in prison, she refused to disavow him.

But in jail, Clare and her now more limited moneybags will do, as a non-matrilineal Jew. Om, peace, amen.

She “didn’t ask to be born” from papa’s newer, midlife crisis bag.

Clare is an anathema and even an interloper, to all of the beautiful and loving Jewish mothers, or any mothers, that I have known, over a longish lifetime. Nancy Salzman is even worse, because she gave birth to two children, and she sacrificed them both to Raniere, for her own benefit. Life in a snakepit.

Thank you for the news of poor Clare Bronfman. By the way, Ghislaine has lost over 25 pounds. It must be the new Brooklyn Diet. A fortune waiting to be made, teaching people how to starve for next to nothing. Clare could become the nouvelle Martha SteWART.

Climb the Pole.

MK10ARt’s depiction of the last time Clare saw her father. According to Mark Vicente, Clare tried to get her dying father to confess on camera that he was wrong about Keith Raniere.

Whether Nancy is smart or not, she’s just a poor excuse for a moral human being. She knew exactly who and what Raniere was for years and exploited others for money and ego-based on a fabrication for almost two decades. Clare is just a naive and gullible fool with a lot of money who likely initially had good intentions but was conned and became more like the filth she hung around with. Nancy speaking about ethics is like a blind person speaking about how beautiful the sunset is. She’s at the top as the primary legitimate business front enabler of Raniere and deserves an eye-for-an-eye as a recompense for the suffering she brought into the lives of others for the scam.

I agree that Nancy liked the money she was paid, but she also loved being “Prefect”. Nancy’s ego is just as big as Keith’s. She should be in prison much longer than she will be.

People, if you could have seen Nancy Salzman *furiously* screaming and gesticulating into her headset the afternoon after Lauren testified. This was no benign, smiling, camera-ready, sweet lady victim of dirty Keith’s evil DOS machinations. No,it was the real Nancy: opportunistic, plotting, coldly deceptive, “It’s not a crime unless you get caught,” queenpin watching her empire go down in flames and shame.

I have heard here, on FR, that Nancy was “demoted” in favor of Clare. If she felt betrayed by her Vanguard, she certainly played it, yet was in on it.

If, as FR and K. Keefe says, Nancy admitted to money laundering, there was more to the why Nancy made such an admission than you say. We know it.

For the record, Nancy and her little coterie knew Keith was a fraud.

It will be telling to see who stands up to her.

My impression was that he gave “busy work” to Clare and Mark, for various reasons. That promotion for Clare seemed like they let her sharpen pencils at meetings and write checks. Those two seem like figureheads while the upper most inner circle cooked the books and made the real decisions.

And they also knew that people were hungry for it. Keith, if largely motivated by money, should have strictly limited his interactions, but instead, he adored the adulation and allowed some to discover his true motivation. That was his fatal mistake. He should have remained an inaccessible and remote figure, who used Nancy as his conduit. But he needed the in-person adulation. He wanted to be a rock star.

At the beginning of ESP, I believe Nancy wholeheartedly believed in Keith and believed the Keith story.

Anonymous and I are both probably correct. The timeframe of when Nancy knew would be interesting to explore. Kristin Keeffe gave a hint as she talked about Nancy laughing when Kristin said something derogatory about Keith. I told Nancy something very specific within 6 months of ESP’s inception that proved to her that Keith didn’t “know all” and wasn’t exactly what they were selling him as. She must have heard and seen things like this on a weekly and even daily basis that slowly (quickly?) eroded her beliefs about the whole Keith pitch.

Bottom line – Nancy did lots of burying her head. This was easy for her to do because Keith was simultaneously compartmentalizing everything.

As far as I know her training is that of a Psychiatric Nurse, together some weightless NLP certification, which is regarded as apseudoscience and quackery, by recognised mental health practitioners. She’s certainly never got near a Doctorate. Psychiatric Nursing is a recognised profession, but the rest might as well be witchcraft.

I get your points, Paul, but as a working therapist, I can tell you that I see ‘therapists’ all the time that are not certified, not licensed in the appropriate sense of the word and they get away with it by finding loopholes in both the law and the governing bodies codes of ethics. Just because somebody doesn’t have the recommended licenses and certifications it doesn’t mean they can’t actually help somebody. Religious counselors do this quite often.

At the same time, though, that doesn’t change the danger quotient and it’s people like Nancy who purposely skirt the perimeters in order to meet some sort of personal goal. The reality that she was a psychiatric nurse makes her dangerous – add junk science to the mix and she’s twice as dangerous. She saw a fast and easy way to make money – exploit a narcissist’s fantasies – it made her millions of dollars.. Did she actually believe in “Vanguard”, highly likely? She fed his arrogance and pushed his person because it got her what she ultimately wanted, money and power, even if it meant selling out her own children to obtain those things.

Ultimately, she should have been held to just as high a prosecution standard as Keith, she’s just as guilty, perhaps more, as she was the original pimp of the process and its members. BUT because she jumped off the bandwagon as fast as she did to cover her own ass, it’s highly unlikely she’ll get a sentence as long as the Vanguard did. She, like other snake oil salespeople before her, rolled as soon as she was ‘caught’, therefore the court will offer some sort of leniency.

It’s important to remember that just because somebody doesn’t have some sort of major degree or license attached to their name, it doesn’t mean they don’t have the knowledge or will power to to implement what they DO know in order to manipulate and hurt others.

Hi Dr. Paul (again),

I think you’re going to regret mentioning that you’re a psychiatrist because now we are all going to bombard you with questions!
Like me for example…

So, if Nancy Salzman’s main motivation in this cult was money and the status that comes with being #2 (oldest story ever), what could have allowed her to think that it was A-OK 👌🏼 to allow not one but BOTH daughters to have sex with a man with whom she ALSO had had a sexual relationship with?

Not to mention that she was well aware Raniere had multiple partners.

That’s something I simply don’t understand.

Denial?

Kind regards,

To CZ – It is not true that Nancy gifted her daughters to Keith. People like Shivani say things like this, but it has been shown that Lauren kept her Vanguard relationship secret from Mama. And I think Macy Gray knows as much about Michelle’s Vanguard sexual history as anyone commenting on FR. Cause nobody has ever shared anything to prove they even smooched.

As a psychatrist you trump me in the certifications dept (LCSW/LPC), lol. And I agree with you, the training and certifications matter but good things can and are done sometimes by so-called counselors who don’t have those credentials. None of the people in the NXVM hiearchy even come close to that sort of thing. Salzman was a blatant opportunist who saw a way to use what little knowledge she did have to control others while pocketing cash. In my opinion she deserves as much time as her beloved Vanguard.

Quackery. Yeah, many mental health “Drs” may agree. Maybe those jackwagons should do some research, or maybe even do some studying that could benefit their patients without resulting in initials after their stuffy names.

Results don’t lie – but they can be explained away as quackery. But guess what, “Drs”, if quackery can fix in a session or two, what you’ve been charging your “meal tickets” twice a wk for the last 5 years, give me quackery.

Tourette’s falls into Neurological territory rather than my own, but Tourette’s is known to sometimes spontaneously go into remission – in some cases for years. There are also other Tic Disorders, most notable Transient Tics, which as the name suggests, come and go. To be diagnosed with Tourette’s, the patient has to have at least 2 motor tics and at least one vocal tic that persist for more than one year. There are psychotherapeutic approaches that have produced excellent results in some people, though I know of none that can guarantee a ‘cure.’ Drug therapy can be *somewhat* helpful, but does not produce consistent results across all patients.

Tourette’s is a scientifically proven neurological disorder. It’s not a psychological disorder under any circumstances or situation.

Are Nancy and the wonderful people at the Church of Scientology the only ones to have cured Tourettes?

Confucius says, “When there is a missing piece to a puzzle, it’s usually because it wasn’t included in the box (story).”

The Nxivm 5 have made a number of disingenuous statements.

Hi Paul,

Nancy Salzman was never a specialized psychiatric nurse, she was a regular RN.

Apparently, she worked for only one year as a nurse at St. Mary’s Hospital in Waterbury, Connecticut.

I read a deposition a while ago where she was asked about her education, she stated that she graduated from nursing college.
When the attorney asked if she had any other degrees or subsequent education, she said something to the effect of “Yeah, I studied other things but nothing academic.”

After that year at the hospital, she went on to study Erikson’s hypnosis techniques and NLP (one non-degree course in the 1970s at Columbia and the rest who knows where she “studied”) and then became a “pain management” therapist and a non-licensed therapist.

Below is the link to the depositions

I think she is also more intelligent than Raniere. As his original co-conspirator, she co-created the Vanguard myth. She knew full well that Raniere was not superhuman, but recognised in him a ticket to richness. Everything was about money for her. Even if she is sentenced to a few years in prison, she’s got away lightly. Plus, I’m sure she know where a substantial amount of disappeared money is. Raniere will still be serving his 120 years, whilst she suns herself on a beach somewhere.

It will take years for Clare to reprogram her brain. You’re talking about the spoiled little rich girl who literally had to buy her friends because her social skills were so poor she couldn’t make friends without buying them. Keith and Nancy saw a vulnerable rich person and exploited her for all she was worth for as long as they could. Even sitting in prison, it is unlikely Clare understands or believes this. In her mind, this is all some horrible mistake and it WILL be rectified once she gets out. That programming is going to take a long time to re-wire if she doesn’t take advantage of the therapeutic services afforded her by being in prison.

“The risk has been too great that someone from the prosecution would ask Nancy Salzman too many embarrassing questions, under oath.” I think Salzman is smart enough not to answer questions that would self-incriminate herself, which makes her FAR smarter than the would-be 60+ year old ballet dancer.

When I now think of Nancy, I hear her sickly voice while on the stage with a microphone addressing Keith on his birthday. It sounded so insincere, like bad acting. Something like “It’s all (dramatic pause with a shake of the head), it’s all for you (pause) Keith” with arm outstretched. Truly bizarre – and I wonder if she knew how ridiculous it all was but went along with the ride. Surely, because she knew all the dirty tricks, she actually didn’t buy into him as a guru but as someone fleecing people. I’m not sure what I think of her given she put her daughter on a silver platter for him. A documentary on her giving more insight would be great.

I (worthlessly) speculate that Nancy was in it strictly for the money. For that reason, I believe she would have or did object to DOS, as it clearly threatened the money pipeline. At the time she offered up her daughter, DOS did not exist, and she might have thought it was harmless though promiscuous sexual fun. Not an excuse, but possibly true.

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.
