NXIVM: Alleged cult leader Keith Raniere called a ‘criminal’ by prosecutors as trial starts

, Albany BureauPublished 10:50 a.m. ET May 7, 2019

ALBANY – A jury in Brooklyn on Tuesday heard opening arguments in the trial against Keith Raniere, who is accused of leading the cult-like NXIVM organization and a related sex group in the Capital region.

Raniere’s trial comes after all of his co-defendants have accepted plea deals and could testify against him. Raniere may face the rest of his life in jail.

Raniere, who went to high school in Suffern, Rockland County, could be on trial for five to six weeks.

Prosecutors alleged Raniere created a following of NXIVM members who paid big bucks to attend classes that utilized his self-help “technology.”

Assistant U.S. Attorney Tanya Hajjar told jurors that Raniere used “shame and humiliation” while grooming women for sex.

She charged he had sex with a 15-year-old girl and took nude photos of her and described how some female followers were branded with Raniere’s initials.

“The defendant pretended to be a guru,” Hajjar said, “but he was a criminal.”…

The charges against him include racketeering conspiracy, forced labor conspiracy, wire fraud conspiracy, sex trafficking and conspiracy to commit identity theft.

Raniere was charged more than a year ago and has been in jail awaiting trial.

Federal prosecutors alleged that some NXIVM members were groomed for unwanted sex with Raniere.

Some were recruited to join a secret sorority known as DOS, where master-slave relationships were promoted and some women were branded on their pubic area with Raniere’s initials.

DOS leaders were accused of trying to get members to provide them with naked photos and secrets about family members as blackmail to guard against them leaving the group.

#4 in this series is about Rachel Chandler, someone we’ve heard a lot about from Qanon, and I expected to find a Keith Raniere connection with her. Nothing. But there is one woman who shows up in individual articles about both Chandler and Raniere — Allison Mack.
SEX CULT 

Who is Keith Raniere? NXIVM ‘sex cult leader’ who allegedly had a sexual relationship with Smallville actress ‘slave’ Allison Mack

New York native Raniere has appeared in court after being arrested in Mexico

By Sofia Petkar  26th April 2019

Raniere has now been charged with sex trafficking in a bizarre case which has caught the world’s attention. But just who is he?

Keith Raniere, 57, appeared in court in New York after being picked up by cops in Mexico

Who is Keith Raniere?

Born on August 26, 1960, Keith Raniere is the son of a New York City advertising executive father and a ballroom dancing teacher mother.

He grew up in Suffern, New York after spending his first five years in Brooklyn, before moving to Albany as a 16-year-old.

In 1998, Raniere and associate Nancy Salzman founded NXIVM in upstate New York, offering “executive success programs”.

However the organisation has now been described as a “cult” in which women were allegedly branded, blackmailed and brainwashed.

Raniere was arrested in March 2018 in Mexico on charges of sex trafficking.

He is accused of raping girls as young as 12, imprisoning a woman for 18 months and forcing one follower to run into a tree and drink from a puddle.

He remains in federal custody in New York….

One of Keith’s alleged associates is the actress Allison Mack, seen here leaving court.

Who is Allison Mack?

Allison Mack is a TV actress best known for playing a young Superman’s close friend on the hit TV series ‘Smallville.’

She has also been charged with sex trafficking, after federal prosecutors said she worked as a slave “master” to recruit unsuspecting women to Raniere’s sex cult.

The 35-year-old appeared before Brooklyn’s Eastern District Court in April to face various sex trafficking charges for her involvement with NXIVM….

“Ms. Mack was one of the top members of a highly organised scheme which was designed to provide sex to (Raniere),”Assistant US Attorney Moira Penza said in court.

In a later court appearance, the actress refused to look at the sex cult leader, who sat two chairs away from her at the defence table.

A so-called casting director and photographer, named Rachel “Ray” Chandler, of the Chandler family newspaper dynasty, that previously owned the Los Angeles Times for decades, graduated in 2005 from the Brentwood School in Los Angeles and has now been mentioned by Qanon once again, but this time, being cited as being “100 times worse” than Allison Mack of NXIVM, after previously being alluded to in the same breath as Jeffrey Epstein, Bill Clinton and The Standard Hotel in the spring last year….

… On Monday, Mark Vicente, formerly a top member within Nxivm’s ranks, testified about how Raniere pushed women in the organization to practically starve themselves by only eating the likes of cucumber. Vicente noted that a group of women had gathered around Allison Mack—the former Smallville actress who’s been among several inner-circle, ex-Nxivm members pleading guilty to likes of racketeering—who “didn’t look healthy.” He said that women were encouraged to eat very little, and even less so if they made any kind of infraction: When Vicente apparently told Ranierethat Mack looked “broken,” the Nxivm leader shot back: “I’m trying to break her.”

Nxivm head Keith Raniere aspired to infiltrate political office

May 20, 2019

Nxivm leader Keith Raniere’s hunger for power knew no bounds — he was plotting to try to install a female lieutenant in a top political office, one of his “slave masters’’ said in Brooklyn court Monday.

Lauren Salzman, a member of Raniere’s supposed elite inner circle, DOS, testified that she and her cohorts were encouraged to recruit “people of power and influence” to the group.

Raniere hoped “that we might have a DOS candidate in a high-level political office,’’ she said.

The candidate would have to be “highly collateralized,’’ Salzman said — meaning Raniere would have enough dirt on her to control her through threats of blackmail.

Salzman said that ultimately, Raniere — who is on trial for sex trafficking while masquerading as the leader of a self-help organization — planned to grow DOS into an army of followers. …

I continue to be amazed at the “connections” (RED FONT) in areas that I had no idea about before hearing about Qanon. Years ago, the Holy Spirit led me to call my prophecy research “Prophecy Connections.” Now I understand that He was WAY AHEAD OF ME!
