Barbara Bouchey Stars in Documentary on E True Story – We Have Some Great Clips

I'm not a fan of Bouchey, but I enjoyed the show. If she and the other NXIVM 9 had started a Frank Report-like website in 2009 exposing NXIVM, Frank may never have needed to start this website and many people who were taken advantage of probably wouldn't have.

What a pity that they can't be together, living out their lives in the light of true love.

They are so perfectly suited.

Poor star-crossed babes.

Sarah Edmondson is pretending on Twitter, she wrote her self indulgent book to “heal” and claims she is using a small portion of the profits to create a foundation. This is her attempt to appear moral. She did it for then attention and portray herself as an innocent victim and still will keep most of the profits. And cowardly NXIVM coach Kristin Kreuk “liked” it. You are both perpetrators out for yourselves. Kristin Kreuk happy to acknowledge the existence of NXIVM through liking a twitter post but won’t acknowledge what she did and knew about in NXIVM. Both women very arrogant.

Barbara Bouchey attributing anything she did with this organization and this monster to the Girls Scouts is just wrong.

Thanks for that. When I last checked we cannot watch the full film here in the UK yet so the clips were good to see.

Irish Barb is my hero.

not.

But I do think Agnifilo comes across pretty good for a guy representing a heathen.

Thanks for providing those clips for those of us who don't have the access or time to watch the full show.

The “happiest moments” bit reminds me of those sad people who, for instance, look back on high school as the best time of their life – for the rest of their lives – as parodied by the Al Bundy character in the sitcom Married with Children. The sad truth is Bouchey probably did spend what should have been some of the best years of her life in the cult, and may still be suffering the effects of typical cult indoctrination to believe that anything good that happens came from being in the group, which exploits the cognitive bias of causal attribution or confusing correlation with causation. And unfortunately, afterwards when she should have been getting on with her life, she had to deal with the fallout – it was the best of times and, then, the worst of times.

Also, I don't know when Agnifilo made that claim about DOS collateral never being released, but didn't Sarah Edmondson's branding video mysteriously start circulating around the time of the trial? Or perhaps in a legalistic sense that might not specifically have been DOS collateral.

I also want to note that from what I have been able to figure, Bouchey might best be described as more of a high-producing salesperson for financial products, than a successful businesswoman or financial adviser. That she was in a business more focused on working social networks to build a client base, than actual performance, would go towards explaining why she was unable to recover once the scandal broke and took down her reputation-based business.

* for Shadow, here's a CIA reference, that also explains mistakes of conspiracy theorizing:

“Biases in Perception of Cause and Effect

Judgments about cause and effect are necessary to explain the past, understand the present, and estimate the future. These judgments are often biased by factors over which people exercise little conscious control, and this can influence many types of judgments made by intelligence analysts. Because of a need to impose order on our environment, we seek and often believe we find causes for what are actually accidental or random phenomena. ”

Thanks for the clips! What amazed me the most this time is Barbara talking about Raniere not showering. That, of course, shows how sick they all were.

These women are all weird and creepy in their own right.

No wonder they ended up in Raniere's orbit.

Where else would they feel so at home?

Thanks for saving me bothering to watch it.
