Keith Raniere was sentenced to 120 years in prison at a Brooklyn federal court on Tuesday for running NXIVM, a self-help organization prosecutors labeled a “criminal enterprise” exploited by Raniere for power, profit and sex.

To followers, he was known as Vanguard, but prosecutors cast Raniere as a con artist who did “immeasurable damage” to victims over 15 years of crime and exploitation. They had asked he receive a life sentence.

Seagram Heiress Sentenced To 81 Months In Prison In NXIVM Trial

BY ROSE MINUTAGLIO

Detailed information about the inner workings of upstate New York’s so-called “sex cult” continue to be revealed as federal prosecutors pursue cases against its highest-ranking members, including the group’s leader, Keith Raniere, who was found guilty of sex trafficking and forced labor charges.
An investigative journalist from the Times Union of Albany first exposed the group called NXIVM in a series of features in 2012 questioning its strange sex practices. However, authorities didn’t make any arrests until a 2017 exposé in The New York Times brought to light how members were allegedly enslaved, branded, and subjected to harsh corporal punishment. NXIVM is the focus of a new HBO docuseries The Vow that features revealing interviews with several former members….

On Wednesday, Clare Bronfman, the Seagram’s heiress who was accused of recruiting individuals into NXIVM-affiliated groups and seeking visas for them based on false representations, was sentenced to 81 months in prison for conspiracy to conceal and harbor aliens for financial gain and fraudulent use of personal identification information, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office. The court also imposed a fine of $500,000 and restitution to be paid to a victim in the amount of $96,605.

Clare Bronfman, the Seagram’s heiress who was accused of recruiting individuals into NXIVM-affiliated groups and seeking visas for them based on false representations, was sentenced to 81 months in prison earlier this month for conspiracy to conceal and harbor aliens for financial gain and fraudulent use of personal identification information, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office. The court also imposed a fine of $500,000 and restitution to be paid to a victim in the amount of $96,605.

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.

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.”

This Keith Raniere Sex-Cult Story Is Much Deeper Than Allison Mack’s Arrest

BY  HILARY WEAVER

“Smallville actress Allison Mack was arrested Friday in connection to what investigators are calling a pyramid scheme involving cult leader Keith Raniere. She will be arraigned Friday afternoon, per The Hollywood Reporter.

“’As alleged in the indictment, Allison Mack recruited women to join what was purported to be a female-mentorship group that was, in fact, created and led by Keith Raniere,’ United States Attorney Richard P. Donoghuesaid in a statement. ‘The victims were then exploited, both sexually and for their labor, to the defendants’ benefit.’”

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. …

The leader of NXIVM, a group that espoused a philosophy of self-improvement but was accused of recruiting, grooming and even branding an inner circle of female sex slaves, was found guilty Wednesday by a federal jury in Brooklyn, N.Y.

Keith Raniere, who was known as “Vanguard,” was convicted on all charges, including sex trafficking, forced labor conspiracy, human trafficking and multiple counts of racketeering — including sexual exploitation of a child.

Raniere, 58, faces up to life in prison. His sentencing is set for Sept. 25.

Inside the Sex Trafficking Cult NXIVM

By fiercetruth4u

Recently, the leader of what people previously associated with it have described as an “extreme cult” called NXIVM (pronounced “nex-ee-um”) was arrested in Mexico and arraigned in a Texas court, along with an inner circle recruiter and co-conspirator. The leader’s name is Keith Raniere, who also went by the futurist-sounding moniker “Vanguard” among NXIVM members, and the co-conspirator charged (along with him in sex trafficking) is Allison Mack, a former B-list actress who is perhaps best known for her starring role in the TV series “Smallville”. However, when you look at the parts she’s played in both film and TV, they are awash in mind-control symbolism as described by former women, who were former programmed sex slaves. So, for instance, Allison was in the movie “Lost in Oz” that is obviously another spin-off of the original “Wizard of Oz”, the symbolism of which is used extensively in what’s called Monarch Programming (CIA Sex Slave Programming). As I discussed in presentation I gave dealing with what I feel is the most important movie dealing with this taboo subject, Stanley Kubrick’s “Eyes Wide Shut”, even the name “Oz” is significant to the occult if you know what to look for it in Hollywood Babylon.

NXIVM Cult’s Daycare Centers: Human Experiments Left Children Damaged For Life

By  

The NXIVM sex cult’s operation of various “Rainbow Cultural Garden” daycare centers is now coming under intense scrutiny following cult leader Keith Raniere’s conviction Wednesday for sex trafficking. The cult was found to have imported child sex slaves from Mexico, even providing them with fake identification to disguise the slaves’ illegal immigrant status.

The Rainbow Cultural Garden’s human experiments on children in Albany came to light courtesy of NXIVM whistleblower Frank Parlato, and the state of Florida recently stepped in to shut down the Rainbow Cultural Garden in Miami. The Cultural Garden is overseen by Hillary Clinton donor and illegal bundler Clare Bronfman, who might face more charges including visa fraud in connection to the NXIVM case.

“They do the human fright experiments where they subject women to surprise graphic viewings” similar to A Clockwork Orange, Parlato told Big League Politics. The Albany-based Garden hosted Dr. Brandon Porter’s sick experiments.

“The most diabolical experiments that he conducts are experiments where babies are subjected to a constant succession of strangers who take care of them instead of their parents, and the strangers teach them foreign languages,” Parlato said.

‘CRIME BOSS’: Closing Arguments in NXIVM Trial — Satanism, Mexico Child Trafficking, Hillary, Schumer and Gillibrand Ties

By  

Update: Keith Raniere was found guilty of all charges including sex trafficking children from Mexico.

Closing arguments began Monday at Brooklyn federal court in the sex trafficking trial of NXIVM cult leader Keith Raniere, who stands accused of violating young illegal immigrant girls from Mexico and imprisoning them on threat of deportation by the cult. Human experiments and Satanism-inspired rituals took place at the cult, according to the mountains of evidence exposed by this historic trial of the new century.

“The defendant tapped into a never-ending flow of women and money,” the prosecution said of Raniere Monday, calling him a “crime boss with no limits and no checks on his power.”

Evidence shows how the NXIVM sex cult illegally raised money for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, how it counted Clinton friend Richard Mays and Kirsten Gillibrand’s stepmother as active members and Gillibrand’s father as an employee, and how the cult’s “ally” Chuck Schumer was compromised by virtue of the cult possessing his financial records.

Raniere Made Child Porn Featuring Mexican Child Sex Slave

FBI special agent Meagan Rees presented more than twelve images of child pornography allegedly produced by NXIVM cult leader Keith Raniere in Raniere’s trial Thursday at Brooklyn federal court. Raniere stands accused of sex trafficking during his tenure atop the elite upstate New York sex cult, where he was branding female sex slaves.

NXIVM Imported Illegal Immigrants and Gave Them Fake ID’s To Break Immigration Law

A former NXIVM sex cult slave named “Daniela” testified in the trial of Raniere, noting that she joined the cult at age 16 in 2002.

The witness then described how she was given a fake ID by the sex cult and had a traumatizing experience with Raniere, alongside her sister, noting, “I stayed there crying. That was Christmas,” according to Gavin. The witness also knew that Raniere was involved in a sexual relationship with her sister, who was under the age of 18.

Raniere Wanted Human Branding Rituals To Be Satanic, Like Human Sacrifice

The NXIVM sex cult’s leader Keith Raniere, now on trial in Brooklyn for sex trafficking and racketeering, aimed for his branding of female sex slaves to be “like a sacrifice,” referring to the practice of human sacrifice, which is practiced in Satanic rituals.

“Do you think the person who’s being branded should be held to the table, almost like a sacrifice?” Raniere said to his onetime co-conspirator Allison Mack in a 2017 conversation that was captured on audiotape. “That’s a feeling of submission…It probably should be a more vulnerable position. Laying on the back, legs spread straight, held to the table. Hands above the head, probably held, almost like sacrificial.”

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!

“You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.”
