Ever since 2015, the articles published by Frank Parlato on the Frank Report have exposed major scandals and uncovered disturbing criminal enterprises such as the sex-slavery, branding cult of NXIVM. Deke’s final words which ended the thread summed up the problems with NXIVM and their approach. NXIVM paid millions of dollars to private investigators to spy on its “enemies list” while Scientology had an in-house armada of spies and spent hundreds of millions on its complex of vexatious lawsuits and investigators. I’m so happy for these people, and to finally see more input from those that saw him and the group for what it was.

Could you pass his name to Catherine Oxenberg, as he’s operating in the wellness community through theater production? These people seem to know when usually young people are most vulnerable. An unlikely confluence of events had to come off for this piece of the cult’s DNA to be frozen in time and preserved for future generations. Thanks for telling the story of our little moment rebuffing this disgusting cult. He is known for his ability to replicate a variety of instruments (e.g. If I recall, Raniere had some interest in a capella – somehow it either tied into his time at RPI, or at least was connected to RPI. Edgar was the billionaire owner of the Seagram’s liquor company and he had at one point been affiliated with NXIVM but had left and denounced the group as a cult. In a conversation where opposing parties would often quote and reply line-by-line to each other, the fact that Mark Vicente’s post, which was over 1600 words, was just left alone like a fishy bag at the airport was remarkable to me and others in discussing the thread when it was dug up and posted on Reddit. Great story and analysis. He also recited a lot of the standard lines used to dismiss the skepticism of Keith et al, that they were misunderstood, words taken out of context, concepts too big to be taken in, etc.” In addition, Amy said she felt that Eric was trying to sell her on something during the period of time between April and July of 2008 when Eric was contacting her. Powell sang like a bird and told police that he had been surveilling Ron Miscavige, who had recently defected from Scientology and was a dangerous critic, around the clock and had been handsomely compensated to the tune of $10,000 per week for the last 18 months. I can only imagine their frustrations at this failure. With its seemingly unlimited resources and connections to the entertainment and business worlds through actor devotees like Smallville’s Allison Mack and Kristin Kreuk and Battlestar Gallactica’s Nicki Clyne, and, on the business side, the heiress sisters Sara and Clare Bronfman, the group was able to gather together many prominent a cappella groups and coaches for their summit.

Parlato has been featured prominently on HBO’s documentary “The Vow” and acted as lead investigator and coordinating producer for Investigation Discovery’s “The Lost Women of NXIVM.”. It would be interesting to know what they did with the phony information from Canaprobe before it was known to be false.

Lauren’s ultimatum listed three bullet points: “I see only three ways for you to address Keith’s offer: 1. This trademarked “rational inquiry” process represents a set of moral/religious beliefs His work helping take down NXIVM is featured in books like “Captive” by Catherine Oxenberg; “Scarred”  by Sarah Edmonson;  “The Program” by Toni Natalie, and “NXIVM. In hindsight, Mark actually was UN”fortunate enough to have Keith as an adviser in my filmmaking endeavors” because Mark had more that 20 various show biz credits when he wrote the A Capella post in Charles Schumer, U.S. senator from New York. How else will we prevent the inevitable cataclysm of our civilization?! Have you tried the Saratoga In Decline blog on Way Back? I see footage of Allison Mack meeting Keith for the first time and it does not compute. She was not present at either version of A Cappella Innovations. You had no idea that a capella was a big deal??? I want to take it home with me! Sorry.”, […] Leo Helmar reported, there was a 2008 forum thread [available on Internet Archive] about an a capella event funded by […], […] Frank Report recently posted an article by Leo Helmar, entitled How A Capella Efforts of Nxivm – With Mack, Bronfman, Salzman and Raniere – Broke Into Controver….

NXIVM was trying to somehow work Deke into its grand conspiracy that Clare and Sara Bronfman’s father, Edgar Bronfman, was trying to destroy their cult. Were they using the three whore actresses Allison Mack, Kristin Kreuk and Nicki Clyne to directly/indirectly promote/recruit Nxivm? Now I gotta go dust off my Ladysmith Black Mambazo and Sweet Honey in the Rock CDs. 2008, and only one in the next dozen years Keith was advising him. It’s interesting to see them lose a battle at a time they were at their peak of trying to destroy people through lawsuits. The thread, simply titled “A Cappella Innovations” was made by an anonymous poster with the screen name “Innovations Participants” who described themselves in their opening post as “a member of a collegiate a cappella group”. In SA, white people who supported the struggle against Apartheid, don’t march to the front and assume the position of ‘Saviour’- it’s unheard of, the sheer dishonesty of it!! I can’t seem to locate it. Mack says that the attacks on NXIVM and her group 10C have all been coming from a specific place, i.e. How many lives were ruined living in fear because they spoke out against obvious EVIL? Another one of the main questions of the a cappella community was why NXIVM hadn’t been more up front about their sponsorship and involvement in the event especially considering that it appeared by attempting to collect very sensitive personal information like social security numbers and home addresses that NXIVM was grooming or recruiting members of the a cappella community. They paid about a million to Canaprobe for the list of some 30 enemies above. . Along with that update to the story, we will also briefly compare and contrast NXIVM’s espionage efforts and those of Scientology. Raniere might have thought it was nonsense but it was good drama for the gullible Bronfman sisters, who perpetually felt guilty about what Keith claimed their father was doing to hurt him. I suspected a link to Scientology resources re: the NX stalking, harassment and, turns out, there is a plausible one. La secta que sedujo al poder en México” by Juan Alberto Vasquez. Someone posted on here or some where else a while back that the little virtue signaller was filming a terrible streetfighter movie in Thailand at the time and was even doing Girls By Design shit out there. NXIVM was objectively much more incompetent and clumsy as an organization and the results were only a pale shadow compared to an organization like Scientology. 4. Knowing they went after anyone that criticized them like this makes me glad Clare got the time that she did. This was remarked on with great surprise and incredulity by Deke and others. 515 Likes, 29 Comments - Deke Sharon (@dekesharon) on Instagram: “So after the NXIVM spying-on-me revelations, I went online to see what the world thinks my…” How could you not know this was wrong? The first A Cappella Innovations gathering was unremarkable in that it was like many other a cappella events with judging panels and breakout groups that gave singing groups feedback on their singing and performances and then hosted a concert at the end of the event to showcase the talent on hand. on how NXIVM attempted and failed to recruit and groom members of the a cappella community, an interesting comment thread between Deke Sharon and Frank Parato compelled me to dig deeper for a follow-up article. Parlato will be featured in an upcoming episode of American Greed. It’s too surreal. As far as I know, they did not take any further action against you, Deke. Amy sketched this incident in more detail for me over email: “, He claimed that his life was greatly improved in all ways by his involvement with the org. It lent to my already overwhelming feeling that Mark was a “Nice Guy” (not our local limericist) and a douche bag extraordinaire. If Kim W is Ms. Mack, then she is still part of NXIVM in spirit.

Frank informed Deke that Keith Raniere and Clare Bronfman, the Vanguard and his purse, had hired a private detective agency to spy on Deke. It’s a great read. Then Venn diagram that with students who had cash to spare and students who were young pretty skinny women – and you have an effective selection process for the Vanguard’s “favorite things”. Or was it just confirmation that these critics were somehow working with Edgar? I love the Frank Report. He told me how much he invested and how much he made before and after. The first post in the thread on the RARB/CASA forums detailing the experiences of people at the A Cappella Innovations festival was made on Saturday April 5th, 2008 while the festival was still underway.

Ms. Malkoff responded in a level-headed tone which was a consistent feature of the leaders of the a cappella community’s responses to attacks from the NXIVM group. This thread is the motherload based on Keith and his inner circle candidly defending themselves in a forum that they knew wouldn’t be widely read.
