Wow. Nice jujitsu.
From an outlet I am not familar with comes:
TheCut.com: Sex Cult NXIVM Was Allegedly Planning to Infiltrate the Mexican Governmen
NXIVM founder Keith Ranieres apparent goal was world domination to build an international following that would live to protect him, his close supporters, and the women who were in his alleged sex cult. In the new book Captive: A Mothers Crusade to Save Her Daughter From a Terrifying Cult, actress and author Catherine Oxenberg writes that Raniere saw an opportunity to get a NXIVM supporter on the worlds political stage in Mexico, where he cozied up to the countrys wealthy and elite in an attempt to infiltrate the government.
Daily Beast: Inside the NXIVM Sex Cults Secret Plot to Take Over Mexico
The group was composed of Mexico Citys elite, wealthiest, high-society types, Oxenberg writes. The children of four former Presidents of Mexico have been involved with ESP.Emiliano Salinas, the son of former Mexican President Carlos Salinas, reportedly led NXIVMs Mexico branch. According to Executive Success Programs website, Salinas was a member of ESPs Executive Board since 2009 and co-owned ESP centers in Mexico City, Guadalajara and Los Angeles.
One of my internal thought processes before starting to focus on NXIVM was: Is this connected with the counter-coup? Are the white-hats doing this as part of a larger mission to stop the black hats from taking down Trump, or is this just a "normal" law enforcement issue, that happens to have a few B list celebs involved in it?
I can't say for sure, but in the end I decided, based in large part on Q's focus on human trafficking since some of his earliest drops, that it was worth assuming the connection, while continuing to look for hard evidence as the case progressed.
The indictment of Bronfman, who has strong family ties to high-ranking Dems, including the Clintons was one piece of evidence suggesting an eventual tight connection may be shown.
The involvement of the adult son of a former President of Mexico was another, and as that part of the story is developing it's even more intriguing.
