“They got the brand as part of the exclusive weirdness.”
Who here has not gotten a brand as a part of their exclusive weirdness?
Ouch... well played.
Back in the early 90s, I just got hired by Conoco EPNA, and it was not 10 months before they started having layoffs. People started coming out of the woodwork trying to sell AMWAY. They showed me the giant AMWAY catalogue. I said, I don’t get it, I don’t see the benefit, you can go to WalMart and get cheaper items than this. They said, about 1/3 is higher, about 1/3 is the same (so right off the bat, Wal Mart has them beat by 2/3), and 1/3 is cheaper, which I think was there own products. I said so what is the profit engine, how do you make money? ANSWER: You don’t, you have to sign people up underneath you, your downlines.
But I do know that Allison Mack is not “guilty by association.”
Well, she plead guilty to other NXIVM related crimes, so technically yes, she is guilty by association and/or in association.
I dont pay attention to Hollywood weirdos either. I do however pay attention to criminals, especially when they have ties to the Clintons and Democrat machine. Is this news to you as well?
You are one of the people searching for a crime. I simply think it is sad that you seem to just be learning about this today. The undertone of you defending her is troubling as well.
One woman was kept locked up in a room for two years. That’s just one we know of. There is a lot more of this that is not widely reported because some big names will be implicated.
If you get in on it, congratulations! You just became part of somebody else's "downline", working to make money for them.
Blue Monday, it’s just that when the mob comes around to hang someone, I always imagine it’s me.
When there’s a knock on the door in the middle of the night and the Secret Police are coming to take Daddy away, I imagine the Daddy is me.
When I think of “guilty by association,” I think of all my pals on Free Republic.... Daring to question authority.
When I imagine the enemy of the individual, I certainly don’t think of the “cult leaders” or silly TV actresses with Mexican maids who perpetually distract us from our own enslavement.
I did not know about that! Thank you for the information!!!
Gotta love FR!!!
Fregards, Megan
Well, I get what's in it for they guy who gets to enjoy all the sex slaves, but it's hard to figure what the women were getting out of this nonsense.
(already mentioned) Taking a womans passport and locking her in a room for 2 years. Um. Slavery. Unlawful detention. Kidnapping.

...The 42-year-old defendant also admitted during the proceeding to being a member of Nxivms secret inner organization, DOS, which prosecutors have accused of starving and branding women....

Violation of prior consent agreement.
A prior business venture of Raniere’s, Consumers Buyline,[13] was accused by the New York Attorney General of having been a pyramid scheme; Raniere signed a consent order in 1996 in which he denied any wrongdoing, but agreed to pay a $40,000 fine and to be permanently banned from “promoting, offering or granting participation in a chain distribution scheme”.[18]
Um. Blackmail. Prostitution
...Starting with an October 2017 article in The New York Times, details began to emerge about DOS, a “secret sisterhood” within NXIVM, in which female members were allegedly referred to as “slaves,” branded with the initials of Raniere and Mack, subjected to corporal punishment from their “masters”, and required to provide nude photos or other potentially damaging information about themselves as “collateral”.[28][7][33][34][6] It has also been alleged that members of DOS were forced into sexual slavery.[35][30][36][37][9][38]
Richard Donoghue stated that Raniere “created a secret society of women whom he had sex with and branded with his initials, coercing them with the threat of releasing their highly personal information and taking their assets”, and the FBI’s New York Field Office Assistant Director-in-Charge stated that Raniere “displayed a disgusting abuse of power in his efforts to denigrate and manipulate women he considered his sex slaves”.[6]

The additional charges against Keith Raniere, 58, were revealed hours after Nancy Salzman, the co-founder of the Albany-based group known as NXIVM, pleaded guilty to a charge of racketeering conspiracy.
Federal prosecutors said in court papers that Raniere, who was known inside the organization as “Vanguard,” engaged in relationships with two underage girls, including a 15-year-old.
“The government has images of the 15-year-old, “constituting child pornography, that were created and possessed by Raniere and electronic communications between the victim and Raniere reflecting their sexual relationship and indicating that it began when she was fifteen years old,” prosecutors from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Brooklyn said in court papers filed Tuesday.”
Child pornography.
I know, you responded above Golux.
Just so you can both get somewhat up to speed. There may have been something about some of the women being sent to other places and prostituted out, but I am done researching for the night.
Pizza, indeed. Was watching the lastest Madeleine McCann documentary on ID Discovery channel and the two suspects sketch flashed on the screen causing me to jump. It was the one we all talked about with the Podesta brothers. Freaky. Hope something brings down certain somebodies.
