Well leave it to Keith Raniere to cash in on societies new found love affair with dance. Seems right next to “Little Waco” right past the well hung bull in front of the Fred the Butcher in the nondescript Crescent Commons sits the latest nest of NXIVM vipers. Nataraja center for movement arts. Website HERE 
What you won’t find on the website is any mention that Nataraja is just another NXIVM front organization that is proudly listed onhttp://nxivm.org/
As part of Ultima®
“A highly experiential, multidisciplinary program designed to advance the full range of human expression in all its various forms. Created by Keith Raniere, Ultima® is an application of Rational Inquiry® and is implemented by his coauthor and colleague Ivy Nevares through her company, Nataraja Center for Movement Arts.”
Surprise, surprise they also have a summer camp for teens. No word if the grubby one sleeps over.
Fun and educational, Nataraja’s World Dance Summer Camp is uniquely created for dancers and dance enthusiasts. Teens will explore the dances and cultures of Spain, Egypt and Tahiti. The week features technique classes, choreography and instructional materials.
So before you bring your daughter in for some ballet lessons don’t ever say you weren’t warned and just a tip for the wise.
Any dance studio that makes you sign a confidentially agreement before you take a class. Run away, run very far away and never look back.

Please tell me this is not for real. The thought of VanFraud having another business to funnel young women into his clutches is sickening.
BTW, Nataraja is located in the same center where Consumers Buyline used to be.
Creepy. Really creepy.
Seems ole KR continues to steal liberally from $cientology. That group runs many front companies under the WISE umbrella of so-called businesses. One of the most insidious is a company they call STERLING Management. Sterling operates as a consulting company targeting the fringes of the health care industry claiming to help pratitioners (primarily the quack practice of chiropractic and also dentists) make more money from their practices. They also recruit a lot of these "doctors" to take $cientology courses and a sizable number of these become full fledge Church of $cientology members. They seem to target practioners particularly who had earlier aspirations for "real" medicine but either couldn't get into a true medical school or were mustered out due to grades or just plain laziness. KR has a long way to go to even come close to the number of WISE companies that operate on the edges of Hubbard's dreamchild, $cientology. There are litterally hundreds of these companies, virtually all of which are operated by (and typically employ ONLY) $cientologists. In fact, as revealed on Rick Ross's site, there have been many lawsuits involving employees of these dentists and chiropractors who claim they were forced to sign up for expensive $cientology "courses" as a requirement of their employment.
Creepy. Very Creepy!
How do people fall for this shit?
Seriously?
Isn't using thought reform techniques as well as mental coercion to brainwash women into eventually having sex with you a form of psychological rape prior to the actual committal of the physical act, which then becomes physical rape, because the intention is unreal and has only been created under false pretenses and therefore is simply an illusion of consensual sex?
I believe it is.
If you look at the class schedule on the website, they hold just three classes a week for one hour each. Three hours TOTAL of instruction!
Yeah, but it's the after-class activities which take up all the time!
She was a leading earner a few times. Bet you can;t guess how!
Oy Vay, this can't be real.
This guy just doesn't run out of ideas. Unfortunatly, never has anyone of his ideas yielded anything positive.
Got to give him credit for having unlimited imagination (i mean stealing ideas from other cults) and being so good at organizing events tailored at educating women (I mean finding courses to lead your followers to him so he can take advantage of them physically and mentally) But that's raniere and unfortunatly, don't think tick tocks countdown was for real.
Fucking dissapointment. That raniere needs to go,. he really needs to go take a hike off a tal building.
Fuck NXIVM
Nurse: Keith, I just heard that some investigators are coming around asking questions. I'm scared I had an EM this morning and I'm still scared, I need an Enima right now badly.
Raniere: Nancy, there's no need to be scared they don't want me I'm insulated. Claire is trying to pay off the chief of police as we speak. If that doesn't work we will try to mind fuck the department and if that doesn't work we will bribe him. It will work out trust me it always does.
Nurse: Yes, but Keith I don't think I'm insulated because everything is in my name. I can go down for all the things you conceptualized and micro managed.
Raniere: Yes, I planned it that way in case they go after me. Our technology doesn't allow us to think about others, remember you wrote it Nancy. It was all your idea. I didn't do much other then come over your house 18 hours a day and eat your food and have sex sessions with your daughter in your house.
Nurse: But Keith honey, this would put me in trouble and I may have to go to Prison for 20 years. Our Technology only works with rich people who are spoiled, what Im I going to do in prison
?
Raniere: Just remember the technology will get you thru it. I will make sure we pick a prison where Enima sessions are allowed and NLP classes are free.
Nurse: Don't you care about me, we have been together for over a decade now. I gave you one daughter and tried giving you the other one but your refused because she was short and fat.
Raniere: Nancy, I think your being a parasite right now. IF you keep asking me for help I will tell everyone you are supressive.
Salzman: But keith, I'm affraid of going to prison. I haven't taken the I'm busted and going to prison module yet.
Keith: Your fears are all in your mind, just forget about it and you will feel better. BTW, I'm going to Mexico for a few years so don't try to contact me because I will pretend I don't know you. Ith's the ethical thing to do.
Nurse: So you are just going to turn your head and leave us all here alone, with no money, no support ?
Raniere: I'll leave you my most prized patents and my technology so you can make millions and when I get back you can give me everything you made as a tribute to me.
Nurse: Please Keith, tell me you will take me with you
Raniere: off course not dear, I'm taking your daughter and a few other young girls to keep me company while I try to convince Claire to give me another 50 million so I can experiment with the market.
Nurse: Don't you have room for 1 more I'm prefect how can you not take me with you
Raniere: Nancy, you are being supressive., You and I both know that with time everyone will understand what I did was for the best. If I stay here I may be convicted for doing something illegal and that's not part of the program. People didn't pay millions of dollars to see me get arrested. Besides, how do you think it will make me look in the eyes of Dali Lama
Nurse: Your right dear, but will you allow me to continue to use the technology ?
Raniere: Yes, but I need you to wire me 1 million per month so I can maintain my sexual habits in mexico. Our technology is new here and no one knows about my talent so I need to make sure the prostitutes understand the technology before I take their money from them too.
Nurse: Please take care of my daughter
Raniere: I will Nancy you can trust me. I will make her work 18 hours to help me with the mission. She will learn alot and will repay me one day in tribute. She will also help me find other younger girls. I really like younger girls you know.
Nurse: Yes, honey I remember all the times I had to EM them to protect you from being exposed and arrested at least 5 times.
Raniere: Nancy, you know I did nothing wrong I'm incapable of it. It's all their fault they took advantage of me after I deprived them of sleep and spoke with them in monotone for 12 hours. Oh, Ya I told them all about my achievements and my high IQ. Most of them fell for it. The one's that didn't I lied to some more.
Nurse: will you leave me my home and some cash to live on.
Raniere: Listen you fucking ungreatful cunt it's not your house it's claires you just live there. The bank is taking it back next week because claire has cash flow problems.
Nurse: Ok, got to go and do an EM on Sara again, she's crying baby lama again, Ta Ta !!
Description by a young person on what it is like to get involved in a cult. NXIVM operates the same way.
"I took a semester off from college because I was broke and worked as a Marketing and PR Director $cientologist Chiropractor.
"I should have known from the interview, which consisted of, I shit-you-not, an IQ test that I should not work there. But I was broke, and poverty demands low standards. I "tested off the charts" and they offered me the job. I felt uneasy, I am no dum-dum but I'm no genius, and the guy who was in the room also interviewing with me in ripped jeans and dirty sneakers seemed about as smart as a house plant. But again, I was broke so, alas, happy to have a job.
"The "Dr." explained that he uses Business Management Technology, a organization system for Chiropractors, at his practice and that I was taking command of division 7.
"Soon it was pretty clear to me he whole process they used was morally and ethically questionable, and the PR/Marketing script and materials were very creepy and brainwashy. It was enough to where I started to have serious doubts about my ability to do the job, despite my poverty induced whorishness.
"I took me about a week until we began "ST" or "Supplemental Training", training material that I should review but can not leave the office". I had to sign a document saying that it was their property and everything.
"ST" was a packet of about 300 pages and the first thing I noticed was the partially redacted areas in the chapters I was assigned where something was crossed out at replaced with some form of"Chiropractic Care".
Then I looked to the bottom of the page, Copyright L. Ron Hubbard. (Substitute Keith Raniere) I was taken aback. I immediately asked my boss, in a casual way, hey "is this written by the Science Fiction Author?" He replied, "Well he actually wrote alot of other really amazing things. He's really transformed my life and his techniques are really going make you excel at this job."
"Shoulda. Walked. Out. Broke, I didn't. T E-meter readings became evaluations, Negative People, etc.
"The most frightening sections were on Black PR: how to successfully and covertly manipulate press coverage and negative attacks and how to deal with suppressive people, including subordinates.
"Needless to say it turned shitty quick. The place was an epic scam, he'd milk insurance companies and medicare at every turn. I couldn't bring myself to seriously try and convince people to sign up for his (really expensive) bullshit. This was a poor rural area, they couldn't and more importantly shouldn't sign up, and the place was run down and tacky and gross smelling.
"I milked the meager pay(of course the whole thing had a cockamamie and disingenuous bonus structure) for about as long as I could stand. Then I quit with what amounted too, "You sir, are a Thief and a Scoundrel" speech. Then I stormed out.
"I ended up trying to call some "Your Employer is Evil" hotlines but got nowhere. Just for the fun of it I tried to check with the local 3 lawyers in the yellow pages who dealt with employment cases. All three had a "conflict of interest". (HELLO STEVE COFFEY!!)
"Moral of the story. Whether it's Scientology, Dianetics or Business Management Technology, it's a cult. Run. And pray for them. There is something wrong with them."

The above posted in comments on the upcoming expose of Scientology by former leading light of Scientology Academy Award Winner, Paul Haggis (Million Dollar Baby, Crash) and Lawrence Wright.
Again thank you John. It's personal and I am very very grateful for your work.
@ 6:10
Yes my mother used to work for a Scientologist eye doctor. She ran his office and he was constantly trying to get his employees to join and go to a crambooth. The fact that it was illegal never seemed to cross his mind until my mother let him know. He would waste hours just sitting in the office reading to the employees from Hubbards books.
Pretty sure he had to sell the practice. Can't make much money when you're reading to your employees all day.
Well done, 8:30, well done.
Sex, sex, sex, who is this middle aged monkey kidding? Must be gross for his partners.
Roll on Raniere. This is for you. Final scene is what I wish for you.

Aside from Kristin Kreuk, all these women tend to be 7's or less. I'd be surprised if he wasn't knee deep in her too.
OMG, I wet myself again. Whoever is writing the Keith and Nancy show needs to write some sitcoms. This is funny shit. Better than any sitcom out there. What would you call the sitcom?
A highly innovative child development program designed to promote children's cultural, linguistic, emotional, physical and problem-solving potential. The program's unprecedented success has drawn the attention of child development experts, private investors and dignitaries from the United States and Mexico.
Such a successful program in the United States that has one, yes that is one, wonder child in the making that will remain unnamed and motherless.
Yes this wonder child wins at everything but let’s not forget he is the one child in the race, spelling bee, chess and judo match. He follows in the path of his mentor Keith fucking amazing wonder boy himself Raniere.
Another "Brain Child" of Mr. Raniere folks. Step right up to sign up your child and if you have a million or two you too can sign up your child for this program.
"Aside from Kristin Kreuk, all these women tend to be 7's or less. I'd be surprised if he wasn't knee deep in her too."
I woke up in the middle of the night to find this garbage posted.
Why would you be surprised?
I wouldn't be surprised if he tried to get her though. She fits the model of women he covets: beautiful, relatively skinny, long haired, and brunette.
Women out of his and most men's league. For example, like Irina Shayh - Ronaldo's on/off girlfriend - or the others he has "liked" on his facebook account.
Nor would I be surprised if he pretended that he got some from her after failing to have done so. But, perhaps first the old two-face would lash out in anger, say some really nasty things about her on the internet...
If my memory serves me well, I remember reading the Plyam's deposition where one of them testifies about how he used to incessantly boast in their phone conversations about the many women he supposedly slept with while in junior high.
He seems to be a pathological liar.
In fact, thanks to John's exposure, it's pretty obvious his cult is a sham, part of its purpose, a service for his inner core pimp women to round up some pussy if and when they can.
A leopard can't change its spots.
Such ramblings sound strangely familiar to some dubious comments I have read on this website, both past...and present.
But, she cut her hair, and due to his "bat-shit" nature, it probably had a negative effect on his energy level such that he couldn't be around her.
What a strange person.
Anyway, she's not that kind of girl. ;)
IMPORTANT ALERT:
Steve (I used to be "The Man" but now I'm just JT's bitch)Cough-Fee will be appearing on Talk 1300 at 8:00 AM today to talk about the sentence recently handed down in a local pedophilia case. Whar a great time to call in at 476-1300 and get his opinion on the topic!!!
Above all else, women are attracted to power in a man, in it's many forms.
Case closed.
"Above all else, women are attracted to power in a man, in it's many forms."
Above all else, stupid people speak in unfounded generalizations.
Sugar mommas and gold diggers...perhaps.
But "women", in general? Nah.
Thanks for a few nice posts about the sitcom.
If the readers of this blog enjoy it I will write some more later.
Let me know if you enjoy it !
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder sez:
Maybe we have different standards but to me, Ivy Nevares is no "7". The real question is: After Ivy arrived, did Babs have to start bringing a friend along in order to get VanFraud to fuck her? Even then, there's a huge difference between two "5s" and one "10".
It would be nice if Ivy was just teaching dance, but we know she has brainwashing on her mind. She has written volumes about Rational Inquiry, none of it too rational. Cut and paste from other sources.
The following advice has helped people get there lives on track. By a Japanese Buddhist, but my grandmother told me basically the same things and she never asked for a nickel.
"Give up on yourself. Begin taking action now, while being neurotic or imperfect, or a procrastinator, or unhealthy, or lazy, or any other label by which you inaccurately describe yourself.
"Go ahead and be the best imperfect person you can be and get started on those things you want to accomplish before you die.”
No one needs Keith Raniere in their life.
Some new Keith Raniere sites popped up. KR may use this as a way to push this blog off the top of Google's first search page.

I told it was the last time I write about her, but...
Kreuk's persona seems to be very pure and quite innocent. She looks a little bit dorky in her interviews but she's said to be a bitch as said in some random fan testimony.
Anyway, Kreuk doesn't seem to deserve such a sad fate. It seems that she's very contemplative, sensitive and sincere and I understand easily that one can freeze on her.
As I see her, she's a good girl in spite of being a hard headed woman.
What she lives now in NXIVM is just another experience, and in all this stupid mess, sex is the best thing she could get from it.
So, if you claim you're greatest fan, you will support her whatever it happens and you will show her that she's a person and a good one.
Anyone could fall in an abusive scheme, a cult or a relationship or even a challenging work...
I wish the best for her and her family, friends and lover because so I hope for her boyfriend and I wish her fans could understand that there are thousands lifes just in one.
I'd like also to tell that contemplativity is a great and marvelous gift.
I just went and signed up for her classes. Hefy price. But hey. She also signed me up for an Ethos class while I was there, too. They have an ATM at the restaurant next door, so it was cool. After I withdrew some money, a waitresss signed me up for something called an EM. For that, I had to get my checkbook out of my car.
I'll say this, these babes are very CONVINCING!
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to take a nap.
PS: ask for the coconut lotion.
Yup ! What's going on here ?
Thanks 2:59 That blog is hot off the press.
Raniere is so slick he has some big guns conned to his ethics. Charles Branson I can understand as he is a TM junkie, but Desmond Tutu? He is referring to the Clare Bronfman's World Ethical Foundations Consortium so perhaps he trusted the family name. Hope someone let's his public relationship staff know WEFC is none too ethical.
What strikes me is that the blog is so incomplete. Only the front page has content. So desperate to get something up, they published it anyway.
If this is Cafritz' counterpunch, to John's blog, it is a very weak attempt. Maybe they are all demoralized because their leader left them in the lurch.
The following testimonial was hard to stomach"
"Something difficult had become simple. The depth of the mind behind the concepts, Keith Raniere, and the dramatic brilliance of the trainer Nancy Salzman, blended the intellectual with human emotion, normally so hidden but most important in the search for happiness.
"I believe that this training proves that there is a method that enables man to harness the accelerated scientific and technological development of this era with ethical direction; such a simple duality is quite possibly the most difficult crossroad of our times."

Why this obsession with happiness? Who in hell can be happy with all the painful shit going down in the world. Haiti, Australia, on and on. These people are deluded.
Branson's TM claimed their teachings decreased crime in DC, but that facts are that crime went up during the study.
This business is behind the INLAK’ECH, mentioned in a previous post.

How to build a pyramid scheme straight from the horses mouth, er I mean ass, I mean ass' mouth. You know what I mean! Keith Raniere
He wants you to join his 'Family'
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWhSvsYhWFs
Patience that is my next post
dignitarytestimonials.com - where all the comments are set to off. Such a shame since I imagine there are many that would like to add some commentary on his Vanawesomeness. I'd like to add a testimonial to his skills in deception and lechery and general sociopathy. Come on, minions, get with it and prop the ego, PROP THE EGO! Raniere is surely feeling very sorry for himself right now that he is so misunderstood (especially since there was no testimonial to his sexual prowess).
Ivy is just another in the long string of women who will eventually have to come to terms with having been duped by a con-man. Sad that another talented attractive woman has associated herself with this fool and attributes her successes to his tutelage. HEY LADIES (MINIONS), you're all perfectly capable of accomplishing all on your own. Do a little rational inquiry of your own and you'll discover the little "genius" has been riding on your coat tails all along.
05 Jan 11
Talent hits a target no one else can hit;
genius hits a target no one else can see.
– Arthur Schopenhauer
Imagine you were among an elite group of people possessing some of the highest IQ’s ever recorded. What would it be like? What would you think about? Do you imagine it would affect the way you view and relate to the world?
Keith Raniere has an estimated rarity of 1/425,000,000 with respect to his problem-solving ability when compared to the general population. Imagine you were given the most powerful computer ever built; a problem solving tool of unprecedented power: What would you do with it?
Inventors, and entrepreneurs for that matter (they often go hand-in-hand), are problem solvers. They are people who study the world around them and take stock of what works well, and what could possibly be improved. Then they roll up their shirtsleeves, so to speak, and go to work. Whether directly or indirectly, each of us benefits from such efforts.
How has Keith Raniere applied himself as an inventor? Well, he holds intellectual patents (some are pending) in the areas of human potential and ethics, expression, voice and musical training, athletic performance, commerce and business management, education and learning, child development, community building, information processing and human modeling. He also holds several technological patents on computer inventions and a sleep-guidance system.
Re: evil never sleeps (but if you knock it on it's ass hard enough, you might put it out of commission for a while - actually knocking some sense into him just might be impossible).
So where is Raniere's IQ recorded - I hear the "highest IQ in the world" bandied about quite a bit, but have seen no evidence of it.
"an estimated rarity of 1/425,000,000 with respect to his problem solving ability" - again, where is the proof to this claim? If it is self-reported, why would anyone believe the self-report of a proven liar?
Patent numbers, please, for proof on all his marvelous inventions.
And finally, patents and inventions don't negate the fact that a genius who is mentally disturbed can and will also use his intelligence to problem solve on protecting his own emotional deficiencies. Being a genius doesn't prevent one from also being a sociopath/psychopath.
Do a little rational inquiry and take a good hard look at the peerless leader. It's a house of cards built to uphold a very fragile and very twisted ego. Whatever combination of genetics and environment led to his mental disease, he's abusing other people. If he was truly moral and ethical, he'd take responsibilty for his mental difficulties.
6:20 Just curious as you posted the flattering description of Vanfraud without comment, are you by chance a fan of Keith Raniere?
Other than the meaningless IQ tests, Vanfraud's intelligence has never been affirmed except by himself and his brain-washed followers. He has no Masters, PhD and his science is junk, hocus pocus magical thinking.
When you read his lengthy essays, scribed by Ivy Nevares, they are mind numbingly circular, go now where garbage. It is not because I am not smart enough to understand. I read plenty of challenging material.
Keith Raniere has lifted the majority of what he rants about from other sources. He is not original. A lot of what I have read so far is straight from Rudolf Steiner the anthroposophist who started the Waldorf schools. Raniere attended a Waldorf school downstate.
Keith Raniere does not practice science as it is commonly understood. He practices his own kind, that is so advanced, 'suppressives' such as myself just can't get it.
What a con man.
I'd like to create a few t-shirts:
"Suppressive - and proud of it"
Print them on a rainbow of brightly colored fabrics; distribute them to some willing participants; and march on into Apropos to demand some nuts and berries for our rainbow cultural garden. And by the by, can I get a patent on that slogan?
I don't know why any of you think it makes a difference whether his fucking IQ is 1000 or -5. What he spews is verifiably stupid as shit and the goals he claims to be working toward are obviously horseshit. "changing the world" and "give me thousands if not millions to teach you The Way" do not go hand in hand. Whether he really did score genius on an IQ test or not is beside the point. Ad Hominem fallacy work both ways.
Prove your claim or fuck yourself. It's as simple as that.
He uses the money they give him to gamble and extend his reach. That's all.
@8:06 : "Thanks God, I'm a suppressive !"
@6:20 : When you give [too] much to an organization that you're finally aware it's a scam and/or a cult, you've got to kiss what you gave good-bye, you've got to make you mourning of what you loosed to it ... to them ... to him !
Especially if you suffer ugly duckling syndroma and you had the illusion to be surrounded by ugly ducklings in the shape of cult-mates...
They made you believe that you're weak and wicked [weaked->weak'ed ? hmmm !?!] but you're stronger than any of them and you've got to be proud and confident of it.
I didn't want you to bring your cult here, but finally I think that your contemplativity and your ability to shine in love make you someone really important and unique...

I know the internet is not the best place for this discussion because many people have insulted the internet with a lot of stories about transfer of money, inheritance, marriage scam so the internet is not safe because you may link this letter to be one of that same rubbish but it is not I assure you.
For the past ten years, I have been working for a public relations firm that pays me about five hundred dollars each month, plus little bonus based on my work input. On the 30th of June last year, our company made a very big financial breakthrough when we made contact with Alhaji Dantata Ibrahim and began to supply him his cow medicines.
Alhaji Dantata Ibrahim is the president of Dantata Ibrahim FARMS, and is a millionaire farmer with animal farms all over Africa, he has farms in over 45 countries with main offices in Dubai. Moreover, he is the greatest supplier of cattle beef and other dairy products to the whole of Africa.
He had informed us about the huge amount of money he spends on the purchase of a particular but very important cattle medicine. Precisely, he buys US$5,000 per carton. He asked if our organization can source for a cheaper supplier.
We did market research and discovered that we can buy these medicines in Europe for US$2,000 per carton. We moved a proposal to Alhaji Dantata, to supply him at US$4,800 per carton which they accepted.
As these supplies progressed and our company was doing fine, I requested my boss to increase my salary. He was so upset that he sacked me without benefits after ten years of dedicated service. Though I was later called back when another kind-hearted senior staff protested against his action.
During my moments of being sacked, which lasted for close to two months, I was so desperate that I went to the Dantata Farms and infomed Alhaji Dantata Ibrahim that I have a foreign contact that will be willing to supply him this same products at US$4,000 per carton. He was very happy with this news, and in turn confided to me that he was about to
place order for five thousand cartons following a suspected outbreak of disease in his farms. I assured him that my foreign contact will be in the position to manufacture and supply to him; in fact I convinced him that my former boss usually buys from my foreign contact and that is why he sales to him at a higher price.
HOWEVER, I INFORMED ALHAJI DANTATA THAT HE WILL HAVE TO PAY CASH IN ADVANCE BEFORE MY FOREIGN CONTACT WILL SUPPLY TO HIM.
For the moment he has stopped all contact with my boss. Please consider on how to handle this profitable project and kindly contact me immediately for details and negotiations as regards my commission. However, I will insist that my commission will be 30% of the total profit.
Note: We will buy five thousand cartons at US$10,000,000.00. We sell to them at US$20,000,000.00.
Our client pays cash before lifting of the goods. They must not know our purchase point in Europe.

sfmpe,
Your mental health break #1 is very topical. 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow', song from film The Wonderful Wizard of Oz tells a story very relevant to the Keith Raniere's NXIVM cult.
Here's Wizard Keith Raniere's own words on his cult:
"For many reasons NXIVM is not good for many people: it is too intellectual; requires too much time and effort; is too expensive; has bad PR; has an objectionable delivery system; is too hard or too restrictive to get into (yes, we reject entry to various categories of people.)
So tell me Keith Raniere cult followers, where is the compassion in the above statement. Your cult is only for an elite chosen by your wizard. Same philosophy as Scientology which believes that able producers should not mix with the disabled (which they classify as nonproducers.) They believe that contrasurvival entities (disabled and terminally ill people) should be destroyed. Scientologists believe in only serving the elite as Keith Raniere does. Anyone not worthy drags the rest down. This is why Keith has no problem destroying people who leave him, who tell the truth about him. He has absolutely no morals at all!
The following words by Keith Raniere explain his repulsive anti-humanity philosophy:
"What is the goal of Nxivm? Answer: To build humanity in the world by ethically, philosophically and educationally inspiring the leaders of the world."
Notice only the leaders get his attention. Everyone else is dirt.
Keith Raniere's thinking is absolutely sick at the core, just like L. Ron Hubbard's were.
This from a reporter's take on Raniere:
"...Nxivm: a fantasy island created by Raniere and sustained by rich people because it makes them all feel good about themselves."
But here's what we can learn from the story of the Wizard:
"Their desires, as well as the Wizard's cleverness in answering them, are all self-delusion. Each of these characters carries within him the solution to his own problem, were he only to view himself objectively.
"The fearsome Wizard turns out to be nothing more than a common man, capable of shrewd but mundane answers to these self-induced needs. Like any good politician he gives the people what they want."
Go fuck yourself Raniere. You are disgusting inhuman piece of trash, advocating an evil philosophy posing as ethical.
Are those Bronfman girls out of this shit yet?
SFMPE - nice slogan. I'd happily print up a batch of those as well. Would you like a patent on that? (insert wicked grinning emoticon here)
@heh heh heh : LOL it's under GPL licensing ;-) You just have to mention it.
@7:39 - nice try, but no, no, no - Raniere never puts his name on anything. Ya gotta have a front woman - preferably a gullible skinny wench who is easy to convince into bed.
And you know that Alhaji is turning around and selling those meds as aphrodisiacs at a considerable profit. Cut out the middle man I say. I will personally contribute 2 cents towards the effort. (insert wicked grinning emoticon here)
Thanks to all John's commentators - I've enjoyed the laughs I've gotten here today.
Unfortunately, John is 100% correct. Once again, the countdown has been stopped because of "new devlopments." No more comments from me until the "Event" takes place...TT
Mr. Tick
No one here benefits from your senseless predictions. What purpose do they serve other than to irritate people looking for justice?
It's good you have finally taken the high road and will no longer be torturing those who have been through enough with Keith Raniere's sick games.
A big thank you that you will no longer post.
I don't understand why people are afraid of this little shit.
Does Miss Ivy and her hot little minks dance with a pole?
Do they use pasties or go full nipple?
She may be a little flat and perhaps only a 6 or 7 above the neck, but she's a dancer and I'm a little bit jealous that Raniere is hittin' that.
Do you think Keith made Ivy wear the belly dancing getup while she blew him?
*disclaimer: yes, Keith is hittin' that.
To post above.
"I don't understand why people are affraid of the little shit"
People are affraid because he is a sociopath who got control of unbelievable amount of money and with that money comes power. So you have a crazy little smelly bastard running lose with hundreds of millions of dollars.
So if he doesn't like you for what ever the fuck the reason he sues you and bankrupts you and while he's doing it he make your life miserable. So no one is really affraid of him people are affraid of the power this little shtinker has.
Keith Raniere's obsession with testing
The Fifth Norming of the Mega Test
Ronald K. Hoeflin
The fourth norming of the Mega Test was based on scores reported by Mega Test participants on five previously taken tests: the Army General Classification Test, the California Test of Mental Maturity, the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, the Stanford-Binet, and the Langdon Adult Intelligence Test. Three commonly reported test results -- on the Scholastic Aptitude Test, the Graduate Record Exam, and the Miller Analogies Test -- were discarded on the grounds that their means and standard deviations with respect to the general population are quite uncertain.
Recently, however, fresh information on the distribution of scores on the Scholastic Aptitude Test has been obtained by Keith Raniere, a member of the Hoeflin Research Group, from senior statisticians at the Educational Testing Service. Using this information, it is now possible to norm the Mega Test by comparison with a test for which an unusually large sample is now available. For whereas most conventional intelligence tests are normed using a sample of just 3,000 or so participants, the new SAT data consists of the performances of 964,739 individuals who took the test as high-school seniors in 1984. Moreover, this data shows combined verbal plus mathematical aptitude scores, whereas all previous data consisted of separated data for the verbal and mathematical aptitude portions of the SAT, which left the distribution of combined scores a matter of conjecture.
There is still some uncertainty as to how the new data relates to the general population, since not all high school seniors attempt the SAT, but using the Educational Testing Service's conjecture that more then 95% of the most able one percent of high school seniors attempt the SAT each year, it is possible to arrive at some fairly plausible norms for the Mega Test, which reaches the 99th percentile at a fairly low raw score. In fact, the results are almost identical to those arrived at in the fourth norming despite the strikingly different sources of these two normings.

Understanding Keith Raniere's definition of ethical humanitarianism, puts his various efforts in a different light. It's only for some, not for all. Here's some of his business covers.
http://www.keithraniere.com/organizations.php
From Keith Raniere's website
One person cannot be good at all these things unless he is a 'god/magician/wizard'
http://www.keithraniere.com/
"Keith Raniere's vision for humanity and human potential led him to found various other companies in the following years.
"In Spring 2003, he founded NXIVM Corporation, a seminal company for various other endeavors involving the creation of community-building spaces housing athletic, spa, and health and wellness facilities. He is the conceptual founder of Jness, a company started five years later to promote the furtherance and empowerment of women throughout the world. Late in 2006, he founded Rainbow Cultural Garden, a revolutionary child development program promoting children's cultural, linguistic, emotional, physical and problem-solving potential.
"During 2007, Keith Raniere founded A Cappella Innovations, a non-profit organization seeking to advance music, the arts, expression and humanity through the a cappella genre. That same year he created Ultima® and with colleague and co-author Ivy Nevares now implements the program through her company, Nataraja. Ultima® is a multidisciplinary program designed for the advancement of human expression.
"Since July 2005, Keith Raniere and Ivy Nevares have been special contributors to the scientific journal Conocimiento, a biweekly publication serving the academic, business and scientific community of the greater metropolitan area of Monterrey, Mexico. A special edition was dedicated entirely to Keith Raniere and his literary creations with Ivy Nevares."
Keith Raniere's Conocimiento journal articles are junk science. I believe he is given a certain courtesy because of the elite Espians he keeps around him. Hello, like the former president's son. He is note in the same league as these scientists, although in is bio on his web site he throws the PhD appelation around as though he has one, but he does not. That is usually considered fraud in the academic community. He is being given a pass for now in Mexico, but likely much longer.
Because Keith Raniere is a Liar and a Crook and the truth will come out.
You Gotta Give VanFraud A Hand sez:
They actually rfere to NXIVM as "a seminal company"? Well, that certainly appears to be true!!!
"People are affraid because he is a sociopath who got control of unbelievable amount of money and with that money comes power."
All power belongs to God.
I'm suspicious of seeing Raniere's PR manifesto popping up here as part of the comments. Might be my cynical nature, but I see it as a possible ploy to promote him by reiterating his "good points" here. My response to his IQ and his accomplishments...
Testing and IQ are measurement tools for determining potential and capacity. They say nothing about what one actually accomplishes and the effect of one's actions. Raniere's IQ has been used as a credential (along with his other self-reported claims of remarkable accomplishments at young ages) to validate his version of ethics (i.e. I'm the smartest man in the world so my version of ethics must be correct). Those ethics have then been used to vilify and harass anyone who disagrees with Raniere ("suppressives" anyone? and bludgeoning people through the judicial system?).
As for his accomplishments, those same ethics have also been used to convince his minions that Raniere should be praised and credited for THEIR OWN accomplishments and creations. "Conceptual Founder" is the equivalent of Al Gore saying he invented the internet. Yes, Al baby may have had an idea of that form of communication and information dissemination, but it wasn't his backbone that went into the actual creation of it. Raniere may have tossed some ideas around, but it was other people's time and energy and dedication and money that actually brought things to fruition. To add insult to injury, his "I'm the smartest man in the world" shtick is used to convince people to allow him to make decisions and pull the strings from behind the scenes without taking any of the risks (hey Sara and Clare, how much of his own $ did Raniere risk in his schemes?).
What I find most egregious is how his reputation as “the smartest man on earth“ and “an ethical humanitarian“ blinds people to looking at how he uses and abuses people, and in particular, sexually abuses underage women. In my experience, the most effective way of preventing people like Raniere from doing more harm is to expose their actions (and to follow that up with legal ramifications if anything is actionable). John is doing his damnedest to do just that - expose Raniere’s actions, and it’s causing some distress in the NXIVM compound when those actions are at odds with the image that Raniere would like others to have of him.
Taken from “The Declaration Toward a Global Ethic" from the 1993 Parliament of World Religions and signed by 143 leaders from all of the world's major faiths, including Baha'i Faith, Brahmanism, Brahma Kumaris, Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Indigenous, Interfaith, Islam, Jainism, Judaism, Native American, Neo-Pagan, Sikhism, Taoism, Theosophist, Unitarian Universalist and Zoroastrian - “We must treat others as we wish others to treat us.” Also - “We take individual responsibility for all we do. All our decisions, actions, and failures to act have consequences.”
(http://www.religioustolerance.org/parliame.htm) I’ll take those ethics over Raniere’s version any day. And yes, if my actions caused the kind of distress to others that Raniere’s actions have caused, I’d want someone like John working to stop me as well.
6:27 Thank you
Keith Raniere's claims about his high intelligence seem to form the backbone of his hiw whole m.o. So anything that can be brought forward to show how bogus and useless his claim is good for the cause. Thanks to other comments that have focused on this as well.
He is fascinated with himself.
The measurement for the high IQ Keith Raniere claims has been discredited in many places. The Guinness book of World Records has retired the category of "highest IQ" after concluding that IQ tests are not reliable enough to designate a single world record holder. No wonder, Raniere himself was involved.
The Mega Test, the one where Raniere claims he has an IQ of 240 has been severely criticized by professional reviewers of psychological tests.
No time to read this link now, but have it bookmarked, might be of interest to others:

With his high IQ, Keith Raniere must be quite misereable with his endless inner dialogues, always solving problems. These inner dialogues will involve anger, worry or self-criticism. With no way to really deal with them, there's just too many to act on them all, the brain requires that he submit instead to them. His mind controls him. And not in a good way. This causes powerful, negative feelings.
Raniere's brain never relaxes, he feels always under attack. He likely experiences endless waves of depression precisely due to his high intelligence. If it gives anyone any satisfaction, he is likely quite tormented.
Explains the compulsive, sadistic sexual proclivities, the daytime sleeping, the obsessive volleyball games in the middle of the night.
He is one sick MF. But you all know that.
To "heh heh heh" 10:07
I know it was meant as a joke, and I am way past being crushed by such things, but I have to let you know... When it comes to getting close with Keith, it is not that we were easy to get into bed, it is that as people, we naturally begin to trust certain things about others when we share details of our lives. Over time, we begin to feel closeness. Once that time has come, most normal people share a respect for that trust, and create a relationship. Keith, on the other hand, uses that opportunity to twist things, and wields that trust to his own purposes. He is the definition of a sociopath. Do not confuse this with being "easy". Just had to clarify.
@12:15 My apologies. I know - I was one of you. I have to have a sense of humor about it. Sorry if my black comedy disturbed you; I imagined it as how Keith would see it in his mind - sometimes my intent doesn't come through in posting. I truly do understand what you are saying from my own personal experience with the man. My main reason for posting at all is to add my voice in exposing him for the sociopath that he is and hopefully adding another gram of prevention against his continuing to prey on young girls. My sense of humor (black and cynical as it may be) is what gets me past the repercussions of my relationship with Keith; I'll try to make light of it again. All the best to you.
@heh heh heh-9:38A : You know what ? I don't know what is hapening to me but I feel pride for you when reading this : )
Sadly, I know for a fact that Ivy has tried to get out or at least indicated that she wants out. But every time she strays Keithypoo pulls her back in somehow and she disappears for a couple of months to be reprogramed. sad really.
Keith is evil he is one prophecy short of being Mason, People's Temple or StrongCity material. the members all have that same glazed brain washed look in their eyes.
