Let us recognize Clare Bronfman’s Greatness

While one reader who lives in Cult Central – i.e. in or around Know Woods where Keith Raniere lives – tells us she has not seen Allison Mack walking with Raniere for some time, another writer tells us that Mack is actively supporting Raniere’s women’s empowerment program, Jness.

A reader took the time to make some intelligent comments on a series of questions another reader asked about Keith Raniere and the people who follow him.

A reader writes:

It is quite possible that Keith Raniere has designed his bio on his website http://www.keithraniere.com to purposely weed out critical thinkers and sharp, intelligent people.

A reader asks questions:

Readers, kindly remember that this website is not for those who have escaped NXIVM, but for those who have not yet been caught and possibly for those who might wish to escape.

Keith Raniere’s bio states: “He taught himself high school mathematics in nineteen hours at the age of twelve; only one year later, he was proficient in third-year college mathematics and was a professional computer programmer.”

Keith Raniere’s bio states, “By the age of twelve, he taught himself to play piano at the concert level; his passion and aptitude for music would inspire him to master many other musical instruments.”

When I first came to work for NXIVM in September 2007, Seagram liquor heiress, and a staunch NXIVM member, Clare Bronfman was gracious enough to give me the keys to her manor house in Delanson NY, not far from Albany.

In your bio online at http://www.keithraniere.com you make this statement:

In the June 26 1988 Albany Times Union article “Troy man has a lot on his mind,” where you are extensively quoted, the staff reporter, Irene Gardner Keeney, writes that Keith Raniere tied for the New York State record in the 100 yard dash.
