U.S. Attorneys Discover New Legal Tactic: Blame the Blogger for Everything
At Friday’s hearing before US Magistrate Judge Robert M. Levy for the Eastern District of NY, the prosecutors of Daedone and Cherwitz had much to say about the Frank Report and its publisher – me.
They told the judge that OneTaste hired the Frank Report to coordinate an investigation and publish unpleasant details about the accusers of Daedone and Cherwitz, whom the prosecutors like to call “victims.” And for that reason they did not want to share important discovery right away.
I had the distinct feeling that the prosecutors were using me as a red herring – trying to sidestep sharing discovery material by claiming they were afraid OneTaste might share it with me. 
The government must share legally required discovery with the defense. They have turned over some under a signed protective order that prohibits sharing it with anyone. They have more to share, and they have delayed sharing it for about a month — as the trial nears.
So on Friday, the prosecutors went to court to explain why they won’t share the rest of the discovery. They had hoped to delay disclosing discovery a little longer by blaming it on a red fish. But they were called on it in court.
Prosecutors Discover Their Case Against Daedone is Flimsy, So They Go Fishing for Bloggers
The prosecutor stood up before the magistrate and complained about OneTaste retaining me to investigate this fishy case.
The prosecutor said, OneTaste hired the Frank Report to coordinate an investigation… And it’s not just reporting on the criminal case, “it’s very derogatory, malicious terms that are being used.”
In other words, I have been about one tenth as mean as the lying accusers. The only other difference is that I report the truth.
Federal Prosecutors Shocked to Discover the Sixth Amendment Actually Exists
Defense attorney Jennifer Bonjean told the court, “No one’s sharing anything (protected) with Frank Parlato. No one ever did. Frank Parlato did what he did on his own. He said some unkind things. He did some name-calling. Yeah, that’s unfortunate. But even if it means that certain witnesses may not like the discomfort of coming to court and pointing fingers, that’s the whole purpose of this process. It’s not supposed to be comfortable. You’re not supposed to do it in secret. Want to know why we don’t do it in secret? Because it’s much easier to lie in secret than it is to lie in public. That’s the whole concept of the Sixth Amendment.”
I was not surprised that the government might try to make me appear as that wonderful strong-smelling kipper. The best of the herrings, it is smoked to a reddish hue—a salty delight.
Prosecutors Try to Grill Frank Report, End Up Burning Themselves
The defense demanded the government name a single instance when Frank Report published anything that revealed anything from documents covered under the protective order.
The prosecutors hemmed. They hawed a little. Then they sort of stuttered. But they could not utter a word – not a single instance.
The prosecutors’ efforts failed. They cannot use the Frank Report to delay sharing discovery. Their red herring swam away, and they’ll have to abide by the Sixth Amendment after all.
Prosecutors Find Out Courts Prefer Facts Over Fish Stories
So now the trial comes in two months, and the government will have to share discovery. The Frank Report excuse did not work.
In a subsequent post, I will explain why I did not need to see anything covered by a protective order to prove this case is bogus, a fake indictment mirroring the fake news that Bloomberg and other media put out. Which is a lesson to the FBI – don’t trust the media to do your investigation for you.
As for the prosecutors, all I can say is sorry your kipper got away.

Picked on the wrong guy, Feds?
I think so.
Yeah
Reporter is a generous term to describe yourself. Who is your readership? Do they pay your bills? Of course not OneTaste pays you to be a smear artist, publishing very crude, tawdry things about anyone who dares claim that OneTaste harmed them. You weren’t there buddy, and you obviously don’t know what it was like. The true red herring is that you focus on how strong or weak the Feds’ case is, not whether OneTaste did harm. Criminally? Maybe, that will be decided in court. Ethically? 100%
He’s bending the paper back after years of lies and smears by the victimhood camp.
Ethically what has One Taste done? I’d like to know Thank you
Created a toxic work environment, though that feels like a massive understatement. Pushed employees harder and harder to give their entire lives to the org, then when they inevitably burned out, tossed them to the side. Gaslit anyone who had concerns, complaints or feedback by saying they were merely resentful/deluded and it was their own doing. Victim blaming, shaming. Took money from people for half-baked courses where the program was improvised. Relied on lots of volunteer labor while being a for-profit company. Took advantage of idealistic impressionable young adults to serve as staff. Presented women in front of desperate men to entice them to sign up. Sold people expensive coaching programs despite knowing the success rate for making a viable business out of it was very low. Borderline MLM business structure …. I could go on but you probably won’t listen or agree anyways so there’s honestly no point.
Wait. Who are you talking about? Who are the employees?
Again if all that not out of pocket at all for you to each their own. Add to the list the suppression of people’s stories/experiences being told through ostracism, lawsuits and publishing hit pieces and embarrassing personal material about them. A company, publishing smear about former staff … it honestly would be funny if it wasn’t cruel. Personally I think the criminal justice system is broken and don’t think this is the way to go, but buyer beware. The lead-generation event intended to be a person’s first exposure to OT was called Turn On, before that it was called InGroup, and in onetaste’s spiritual ancestor The Welcomed Consensus it was called a Mark Group I believe. Haha you can’t make it up. Don’t get played like I did. Don’t bully people who had a bad experience into silence. That is unethical IMHO because it deprives future people of informed consent
Hmmmmmm. Who is OneTaste? Other than the fictive personhood of a company, It would help to be precise. Did the practice of om-ing harm?
Did the Defendants consider collateral harm like spouses left when devotees shuffled up to the compound? Or is OneTaste not responsible for the legal matters of its clients, its students, thinking them sufficiently mature to handle their own marital matters, much like they should be understood to be sufficiently mature to orgasm in public in grotty incense-smoked dungeons?
if there is a conspiracy it is that of the students trying to figure out how to monetize their om-ing, not the least bit upset until then. No upstart promises panned out. So take a number!
Excuse me, but I’m drawing a bath and getting into Frette sheets, praying I can unsee the least sexy sex to which I ever been subjected.
… it’s much easier to lie in secret than it is to lie in public.
That’s the motto of those who control this world with the kinds of distractions that eventually lead to court cases inevitably leading to lawfare that automatically leads to more distractions … all researched, designed and set firmly in place by those with their own personal and political goals. Tracing the “OneTaste” concept back to Tavistok or The Frankfurt School or some kind of ancient fertility cult and resulting politics today would prove that point.
The whole truth in everything and nothing but the truth with a “so help me God” will make truth and forgiveness easier for all. Otherwise, more of the same will be more secrets, more distractions, more court cases, more lawfare and more harm.

You’ve got a corner on PR work for sex cults, Frankie!
The Parlato curveball gets them every time.
It’s a mental game and prosecutors actions reveal they’ve already lost. Well done! Truth matters.
