Seagram’s heiress used family fortune to finance sex cult: feds
NY Post ^ | 7/24/18 | Emily Saul and Ruth Brown

Seagram’s liquor heiress Clare Bronfman used her family fortune to buy an entire island, the private plane to get there — and, the feds say, to bankroll a sex cult.

On Tuesday, the 39-year-old — who is worth roughly $200 million — was busted on racketeering charges for her role in running Nxivm, alongside three other high-ranking members.

The arrests are part of an ongoing federal investigation into the group’s leader, Keith Raniere, and his right-hand woman, former ​”Smallville​”​ star Allison Mack.

Raniere and Mack are charged with sex trafficking and conspiracy for allegedly coercing women into joining a secretive master-slave society within Nxivm — where “slaves” were forced to pleasure Raniere, have his initials permanently branded onto their skin and perform free labor.

I guess when you get tired of staying drunk all the time, you must turn to other “entertainment”....

I’m not saying I don’t like sex, but I can’t imagine spending my time trying to get raunchy sex all the time.

Is it really worth buying a private Island, a plane and all this?

I guess I need to have my hormones checked.

Maybe if these rich losers would serve charities or do some good with their idle minds, the world would be a better place.

So the Kenedy family had a lot of income form some sort of Scotch import funds. Makes you wonder what he was up to also.

Some people certainly make some interesting choices in life.

They should have gotten engaged in quilting or scrapbooking. Most cults are comprised of individuals who participate voluntarily, at least at the beginning. Cults have a strong influence on their members, but at what point does the control become criminal?

I don't really care to delve too deeply into this matter, but it looks as though this Canadian actress's work visa problems may have been what brought all this to light.

I think it's sort of amusing that Allison Mack pleaded Not Guilty to the sex-trafficking charges. Her initials are on the damned branding iron that is used on these "slave" women!

The ‘cult’ leader is a most unimpressive specimen. This is the weirdest article this week and reads like the synopsis of a proposal for a really bad made for TV movie.

Maybe if these rich losers would serve charities or do some good with their idle minds, the world would be a better place.

Back in 1966, a great philosopher observed that "Kicks just keep getting harder to find" as a fact of human nature. People don't fall into evil all at once, but over time, staring with small steps that eventually turn into leaps.

Ernest Hemingway made a similar observation about money that also applies broadly to human nature. From his 1926 novel The Sun Also Rises we we read:
"How did you go bankrupt?" Bill asked.
"Two ways," Mike said. "Gradually and then suddenly."
Dams of all sorts break the same way, with gradual leaks that eventually break in what appears to be a single, catastrophic collapse.

If you don't start down a dark road, you won't reach it's bitter end. But human nature too often finds the dark road irresistible, and some are lured into things they would have never imagined if they hadn't dabbled with evil in the first place. Satan is the author of lies and the thief of souls, and these people have chosen evil.

The connections with the Clintons and their cronies need to be thoroughly investigated, by people braver than I.

There’s some discussion of this on another thread.

His/Her initials.

I guess it really does depend on how you look at it.

I can’t but help wonder if we’d ever hear about Laz having been on that island...

The only somewhat educated guess I can make is that it isn't really about sex. For a minority, it probably is or was at it's inception.

Now, I feel like it's just about fitting in and, probably, ritualistic practices.

I am not justifying it on any level but imagine you are in the top .001%--and you grew up around these rituals. You probably are very convinced your standing at the top of the world is dependent on these rituals and offerings to the dark one.

And who knows, maybe it is. Maybe they work. Worldly here and now in exchange for your soul.

They probably look at the unwashed masses as cockroaches and their single worst fear would be becoming one of us and losing everything that gives them their status.
