I plan to cover the trial of Keith Raniere by reporting the big events as quickly as possible on the day of the trial and the following day get into more detail of events that occurred.

The first day of Keith Raniere’s trial ended on an odd note with Raniere’s lead attorney, Marc Agnifilo, indicating he wanted the presiding judge, Nicholas G. Garaufis, to declare a mistrial – and a clearly miffed Judge Garaufis indicating that, if a mistrial is declared, a second trial would not st

The large crowd of people seeking to attend the trial caused a brief delay at the outset of this morning’s session.

Update #1

Tomorrow, the curtain will rise on what is expected to be the 6-8 week trial of Keith Raniere, the man behind the curtain of the NXIVM criminal enterprise.

We’ve all had those nights before a big event.

Here are the applicable rules for the court throughout the trial:

Clare Bronfman pleaded guilty to two felony charges on April 19, which was Good Friday. Some of her victims felt it was a bad Friday.

Things are moving along.

Today is when 12 jurors – and 6 alternates – will be selected to hear the case of the U.S. v. Raniere Et Al (Actually, since all five of Keith Raniere’s co-defendants have already pleaded guilty to various charges, I guess we can just drop the Et Al at this point).

By definition, a “Vanguard” is someone who is at the forefront of new developments – or who is leading a movement of new ideas.

One of the best and most comprehensive of many ‘curtain raisers’ on the upcoming Nxivm trial was published today in the Albany Times Union. Written by Brendan Lyons, the story is entitled “Raniere Stands Alone”.

Given that Clare Bronfman comes from a family of mobsters, it shouldn’t surprise anyone that she turned out to be one herself.

This is optimistic news for the Vanguard. Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme, 70, after almost 50 years of being apart from her master, Charles Manson, says she’s still in love with him. Theirs was an enforced separation – since both went to prison, Manson for life – he died in 2017 at age 83 while serving a

This might well be the final nail in Keith Raniere’s coffin.

In the case of USA v. Keith Alan Raniere, I see no reason not to identify John Doe 2. He is/was Edgar Miles Bronfman, father of Clare Bronfman, former president and CEO of his family’s distilled beverage firm, Seagram and former president of the World Jewish Congress. He died at age 84, on December

By Shadow State Allison Mack has no one to blame but herself for her plight. Her brutality and cruelty towards other women displays a sadistic streak that is extremely disturbing. Why would she brand women except to dehumanize them and exercise her superiority over them? Was Allison Mack that jealou

By Anony Maker This is in response to Guest View: Allison Mack Was 100% Victim – She Believed in Kristin Kreuk Who Led Her Deep into Nxivm. To begin with, how do you know what “Her boyfriend Chad explained”? As far as I can tell, what you know is only based on what was written on fan sites and in th

So, here we are…five days away from the start of Keith Raniere’s trial.

According to an article found on Press Reader – from the print edition of the Vancouver Sun of October 11, 2014, “Vancouver actress Olivia Cheng was inspired to empower Asian- Canadian women.”
