The woman who helped fund Nxivm and the group's leader Keith Raniere with her family fortune has been arrested and is set to be indicted on federal charges Tuesday afternoon.

Clare Bronfman, the heir to a multi-billion dollar liquor fortune, is accused of racketeering conspiracy in the new superseding indictment in the case.

That indictment also accuses Nancy Salzman, her daughter Lauren and Nxivm bookkeeper Kathy Russell of the same offenses.

This brings the total number of members arrested to six, with leader Keith Raniere and his right-hand woman Allison Mack having already been indicted back in May.

Chris Plante reported that Daniels’ husband was divorcing her AND wanting to keep her from their daughter...

Plante went on to say....(basically)

Guess tying up with Lawyers and Liberal TV was the final straw.
Everything up to that point was ‘ok’ but she crossed a line

Some Bronfman female put up the bail so the guy could flee to Paris and enjoy the best years of his life.

I know a lot of Scientologists- they are all great people- I have heard some bad things but none of them are like that at all.

I remember that case. He was hiding out in Europe for a long time and finally they got him. Good memory.

Interesting perspective on the concept of ‘evil’. A quote from a movie said, “Evil is a dunghill. Someone stands on top of it and shouts about the world from their view of it.”

It sort of clicked for me: That’s how they do it.

Evil is endlessly relative. ‘Do what thou wilst’ and ‘Let it be’ encompass the sort of two great tenants of Satanism.

So the illusion is we live in a world where the consequences are what we contrive, and come largely from the social contract.

The police and the courts keep the normies at bay, and are occasionally used against people acting against the interests represented by people powerful enough to manipulate that system.

‘Non-serviam’ represents the ultimate expression in personal freedom and responsibility. Lucifer’s rejection of Christ’s primacy and his being cast out of Heaven is seen as the rejection of a handout.

Lucifer refused to worship humanity, the creation of Christ, and as such set up his own shop dedicated to making sure humanity suffers as much and as long as possible.

Convince enough prisoners that life in prison can be excellent so long as you are willing to torture and subjugate the rest of the inmates, and you have a willing army.

We call that army ‘Deep State’.

That’s what I’ve been wondering, too. It all seems consensual. Is there a crime here?

Elizabeth Vargas examines NXIVM, an organization that sells “self-help” seminars that they claim give people the tools they need to get their lives together and allow them to make a difference in the world. However, the group led by Keith Raniere, referred to by followers as Vanguard, stands accused of drawing supporters down a path of destruction that includes near-starvation diets, sexual assault, forced branding, pseudo-slavery, and blackmail. Luring in many high-profile Hollywood actresses to evangelize for his cause over its 20 years in operation, Raniere was recently arrested in Mexico and charged with sex trafficking, among other crimes. Former members of NXIVM share harrowing experiences of manipulation and sexual violation.

Have you ever noticed that male cult leaders tend not to be the tall, dark and handsome type (or the tall, blond and handsome type for that matter)? Yet they manage to enthrall and sexually exploit all manner of women and drain all their bank accounts. L. Ron Hubbard and Charles Manson come to mind.

Keith Raniere has been arrested and extradited from Mexico! Reportedly there are LEO raids of a number of NXIVM facilities and leaders/homes. Also, there is a strong Clinton connection:

[2007: Nancy Salzman an early member of Clinton Global Initiative: "At least three of them – group President Nancy Salzman and the Bronfman sisters – are members of Bill’s charitable organization, the Clinton Global Initiative. Membership is by invitation only and requires at least a $15,000 donation per person for one year." [https://nypost.com/2007/10/01/hillarys-30000-fans-are-her-cult-following/]

Records: NXIVM hacked billionaire's emails with Hillary Clinton, world leaders Albany TU ^ | 10/18/15 | Brendan J. Lyons Posted on ‎10‎/‎19‎/‎2015‎ ‎9‎:‎38‎:‎25‎ ‎AM by Fitzy_888 Clare W. Bronfman, an heiress of the Seagram Company business empire, allegedly implanted a "key logger" virus on the computer of her late father, Edgar M. Bronfman Sr., so officials with the NXIVM corporation could secretly monitor his emails, including his exchanges with world leaders and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, according to court records. The extraordinary allegations are attributed to Kristen M. Keeffe, who was part of the inner circle that ran NXIVM, a "human development" organization that has been described by one expert as an "extreme cult." The accusations by Keeffe are contained in a transcript of a telephone conversation that took place last March between Keeffe and Barbara J. Bouchey, a former NXIVM executive board member who is facing computer trespassing charges in Albany that accuse her and three others of improperly accessing the corporation's website. Bouchey's attorneys filed a copy of the transcript in Albany County Court recently to buttress their argument that top NXIVM officials have used litigation, as well as the criminal case, to attack her and other perceived adversaries. Bouchey, a financial planner, claims NXIVM officials have dragged her into 13 lawsuits and filed the criminal complaint against her as retribution for defecting from the organization in 2009. She's denied hacking into the corporation's social website. Clare Bronfman, 36, who owns a horse farm on West Wind Road in Knox and has described herself as NXIVM's operations director, did not respond to requests for comment. The whereabouts of Keeffe, who left NXIVM last year, are unknown. She was part of NXIVM founder Keith Raniere's inner circle and has contacted Bouchey by telephone, and through encrypted emails, and offered to help her defend herself in the criminal case, according to court records. Keeffe said that she gathered information about NXIVM for several years before she left and tried to "deprogram" Nancy L. Salzman, who is NXIVM's president. Salzman did not respond to a request for comment. "In the three and a half years leading up to where I left, I was a spy," Keeffe said during the conversation. "And I went to great lengths to make them think I was going along with things with the exception of trying to deprogram Nancy and a couple of other people that l was close to that were not close to Keith." Raniere did not return a telephone call seeking comment. Keeffe's allegations about the hacking of Edgar Bronfman's computer are among a series of troubling accusations she has leveled against NXIVM officials since she abruptly left the organization in February 2014. Keeffe, 45, was involved with Raniere for more than 20 years and was part of the litigation team that worked under Clare Bronfman, according to court records. Keeffe said she fled NXIVM last year with the help of a State Police investigator who brought her to a domestic violence shelter, according to court records. Last month, the Times Union reported that Keeffe, in emails attributed to her, claimed top officials in NXIVM paid a Canadian investigative firm to sift the financial records of six federal judges and U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. According to Keeffe, NXIVM officials also used the Canadian firm to obtain financial information on Edgar Bronfman and other officials with the Jewish World Congress, which Bronfman headed from 1981 to 2007. It's unclear why, as Keeffe claims, NXIVM officials would have sought the financial records of judges and others, including employees of the Times Union, which published a 2012 series, Secrets of NXIVM. The federal judges identified by Keeffe have all presided over cases involving NXIVM. (...)

The Bronfmans are the family that founded the Montreal Expos, and some in Montreal were hoping that the Bronfman family would help restore baseball in Montreal.
