NXIVM unveils new website
NXIVM.com has just gotten a makeover.
Just like his own personal website, gone are the bullshit claims of highest IQ, judo championships and speaking in full sentences at age one. [Fear not, there are ample screen captures of the old website – and much of the old site is readily available on the Wayback Machine.]
NXIVM’s new website has a new modern look – but features the same old pervert liar.
Keith Alan Raniere AKA The Vanguard.
The website says “Raniere has founded multiple companies focusing on increasing joy and ethics in the world.” The picture of Raniere is about 20 years old.
Here is what NXIVM says about itself:
Society, government, religion, family—all human systems are made up of people. Large-scale change must therefore find its root in the individual. If we are to create a noble civilization, this transformation must begin by looking inward.
NXIVM is a new ethical understanding that allows you to create an internal framework that reflects your best self, and offers the resources to manifest that vision into a reality. It allows you to explore your most fundamental nature and begin to redirect your power of creation, a power that we all possess in a very human sense. The NXIVM philosophy is expressed through its various companies, their contributions, and, most importantly, the individuals who work together to create a better world.
All of these companies and social movements were conceptualized by NXIVM’s founder, Keith Raniere.
"NXIVM is a company whose mission is to raise human awareness, foster an ethical humanitarian civilization, and celebrate what it means to be human," its website claims.
“NXIVM is a company whose mission is to raise human awareness, foster an ethical humanitarian civilization, and celebrate what it means to be human,” its website claims.
Oddly enough, there is no mention of DOS, branding women or taking collateral on the website. I guess that will be part of a future update.
This is utter bosh, a paragraph of vagaries that doesn't really say anything. It is typical cult-speak.
“A new ethical understanding.”
Understanding is the act of the mind where a concept is grasped and its meaning is known. It is certain recognition in the intellect of an intelligible and its proper place within a system. There is nothing “new” about it and every healthy human being has such a capability at varying levels of aptitude.
“internal framework”
This is just another term for a “belief system”.
“your best self”
Really? How does it know this? Who knows their own self better than the person themselves? Another person cannot grasp their consciousness, i.e., what it is to be them. They can only understand “where they are coming from” – or what it is to be *like* them – due to another human power conceptualized as “empathy”, a universal “form” presupposed to be intrinsic to human nature. So how do you know what is a person's “best self”? What they can only be implying is they profess to have an objective standard from which to judge what is your best self.
“explore your most fundamental nature”
This is effectively same thing as “your best self” and whatever was said about that applies to it.
In other words, NXIVM is effectively just another way of life, or a “religion” in the general sense of the term, with Vanguard as its “messenger”.
“By their fruits you shall know them.”
