The Cult That Sold #Empowerment

Sylvie,* now 32, told a federal jury that a few years earlier she had been given an “assignment” that involved Keith Raniere, 59, the highest-ranking member of purported self-help group NXIVM. Sylvie said her friend and slave master Monica Duran gave the instruction.

“She said that I needed to ask him to take my picture, and [said] to go along with whatever else was going to happen in that meeting,” Sylvie said. “But she didn't tell me what.”

So Sylvie walked alone to meet Raniere, who, she told the court, led her to a bed with dirty white sheets and told her to take her clothes off.

“I laid back on the bed and then he, I guess you call it, went down on me,” Sylvie said. “And I just remember it…I felt like it was going…I just remember I felt like it was going on for a really long time…. I think eventually my body…I don’t know, because I don’t think I’ve ever had an orgasm before this, but it felt almost like I had an out-of-body fit where I completely lost control of my body, and then after that it stopped.”

“Did you want to be participating in that?” asked Assistant U.S. Attorney Moira Penza, one of the four prosecutors on Raniere’s case.

“No,” said Sylvie.

“Why did you do it?”

“Because I thought that was what I was tasked to do,” Sylvie said. “I understood that was a command from my master, and that was part of my role as a slave in order to do what I was supposed to without getting into trouble.”

If I told a gal to lie down on a CLEAN bed sheet and she could KEEP her clothes on, she’d still say no.

It is amazing what some guys can get girls to do. It started out hooking with this girl empowerment crap while basically enslaving them.

He told them that he had the second highest IQ in the world then just telling them whatever he wanted and they would fall for it.

I am still a little suspicious of Kristin Kreuk’s roll in it.

If I were 50 years younger I would have been willing to put my brand on Kristin.
