I must say I have been a bit busy with the antics of local politicians but now I have an update on our own home grown band of merry cultist the Espians.First I read with much interest this story about Robert Crockett HERE, seems when not defending the alleged pedophile Keith Raniere, he moonlights as an attorney for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints {in my opinion the largest cult in the country}. In that capacity he successfully defended Todd C. Summers, 37, of Costa Mesa,California against accusations that he had carried on a sexual relationship with a boy in the Mormon Church. Summers was accused of molesting the boy for nearly a decade, starting when the boy was 11 or 12 years old.
The boy sued Summers, his parents and leaders of the Mormon church in April 2008. While Summers is the only one accused of carrying on the improper relationship, his lawyer Vince Finaldi maintains that Summers’ parents and church leaders enabled the relationship to continue. Robert Crockett as attorney for Summers advised his client to refuse to cooperate with Costa Mesa detectives. Vince Finaldi maintains that the Mormon church hid behind Crockett, hindering any investigation.
In a sworn deposition the boy claims that Summers’ parents should have known of the relationship because Summers would put his fingers in his mouth, would lie in bed with him and take him to his room and lock the door. The boy claims that Summers would lock the door, turn on pornography then orally copulate the boy, who was a teenager at the time.
No wonder Crockett fit in so well into the culture of NXIVM and Keith Raniere.
And as an extra for those who would like to know more about Mormon Bob Crockett, this contains some juicy bits of Crockett's wisdom, such as this from Bob Crockett to a Mormon critic: “If there is a hell, you're a great candidate.”
Check out the Mormon discussion forum HERE
Bob Crockett has his own Mormon blog HERE
In other Cult celebrity news, inside sources tell me the hottest gossip at Cult HQ is that Keith Raniere and Allison Mack are madly in love. Seems little Keith is so smitten with his cult bunny that they take long walks together hand in hand through Knox woods, stopping to peer into each others eyes. When walking, Allison always walks on the outside of her stud muffin to protect him from his imaginary enemies. What a girl!
Remember you read it here first and I will be the first one to report when the little baby bumpappears announcing to the world the latest demon spawn.
Allison Mack bought a house around the corner from the guppy one and then wrote about her life direction HERE.
When faced with the negative comments from her fans she wrote in another blog post.
"OK, so I am going to be candid for a minute. I was shocked by the responses I received on my last post. Not sure if many of you have been reading some of the things people were writing, hopefully you missed the bulk of negativity as I have had someone working consistently to take down the negative and hateful comments as quickly as possible. I was so disappointed and discouraged. I feel so naive."
Naïve is that what you call it? I guess you were shocked when your fans just couldn’t understand why you would give up an acting career to fly 5000 miles to bone a pedophile. Really Allison makes perfect sense to me.
Now as a public service if anyone would like a front row seat to this circus call 573-3465.
And you can rent this home right around the corner from Keith. I just might rent it myself.
$950 / 2br - 1000ft² - Unit in Knox Woods Halfmoon 2 Bedroom, 1 Bath.
Beautiful complex with pool and tennis
Unit has central heat and AC, Deck, Fireplace, Newer Paint/Carpet, Breakfast Bar, Cathedral Ceilings w/skylight, Deck and MUCH MORE. Live in the middle of the area’s best freak show.
Sorry, No Dogs or Nxivm Cultist. We’ll trying to keep the crap off the streets.
Oh and I would be remiss if I didn’t offer my sincere condolences to grade b cult attorney Steve Coffey on the federal indictment of his good friend, role model and disgraced criminal politician and ex new York State Majority leader Joe Bruno. Maybe Nancy Salzman can give him another enema and a EM. That always cheered him up before.
Till next time when I take on more of the rich, powerful and stupid.
Goodnight

The plain jane picture of Mack you just posted confirms that is who I saw him strolling hand in hand with on a certain Sunday evening. Always amazed what makeup does. And yes KR was on the inside and she on the outside. They are about the same height. Most of the other zomboids he walks with are tall brunettes.
Her hair is short straight pageboy style and dirty blond.
There really wasn't any hateful comments posted on her blog. There were simply references to all of the negativity associated with NXIVM and its leader. Of course, that falls under the category of "hateful" for the brainwashed. Apparently the big bad local media, Rick Ross, James Odato, John Tighe, Toni Natalie, Barbara Bouchey and other unmentioned girlfriends, former members like Susan Donnes, the stock market, Bronfman Sr., sexually molested girls, etc. are all out to get this special Raniere fellow who's revolutionary ideas of gambling, fucking around, orgies, midnight games of volleyball, Acapella, ripped off life coaching techniques mixed with Randian philosophy, etc. is going to change the world from the confines of his Albany town home, which he rarely ever leaves.
"We are all learning, stumbling and striving to figure this crazy "life-thing" out."
No Allison, life isn't hard to figure out. There's satisfaction of the necessities and then after that there is what makes you content. You're just regurgitating what those who haven't got a clue about it themselves, i.e. your "dear friend", have told you themselves. We call them those who talk the talk, but don't walk the walk because they're walking in the dark and have no idea where they are going. That should tell you all you need to know about what your situation is if you actually reflected on it.
But, she doesn't have long straight brown hair! And she's sooooooo old!
It's easy to get angry against A.Mack : She gives a lot of energy to spread her belief, she's still deep in her cultistic honeymoon. That's very sad because she's ruining the best years of her youth but it's her choice. But can she really chose ? Does she have enough distance to have a critical point of view ? There is nothing that could make her change her mind, perhaps one day MrVanguard will really push the things too far for her and that day, she will really need strong support, love and what is really behind the word "compassion". That's awful to live such a life. She's dangerous as is yet, but trying to make her understand is a pure loss. As I read from other sleazier cults, even rape is not a condition for a decision to leave. It's up to her to know what is going to shock her enough to make her leave... I think that she will leave when MrVanguard will give her less attention for a fresh new face... He will have bigger plans for a newcomer and she will face his contempt... That's what's going to happen. So now forget about her and then you will have a complete testimony from her for what happened in the inner circle. You will need some guts to hear it... Trust me !
BTW, Mack recently changed her hair color for a guest spot on a TV show. It could be temporary, but it might be a redhead instead of a blond taking those strolls in the woods.
I have sympathy for poor single mothers
I have sympathy for the working poor who have no health insurance
I have sympathy for the aged, sick and forgotten
I have sympathy for the victims of disasters, man-made and natural
I have no sympathy for Mack
She is a self-indulgent spoiled little twat.
Worse she is stupid and weak. Even worse than that she is a role model for young girls
So spare me this victim shit
I saw them making out in the street on Independence
What a polished insight into the perfect NXIVM vessel. Fill 'er up!
Came to this site via Google, via Times Union expose (holy crap!), via Allison Mack blog response giving Times Union link (quickly expunged by Mack, but not quickly enough).
"Naive", she says of herself. Now ain't that the truth. My god, how can anyone be that stupid. Now I know where she gets the pseudo-philosophical, pseudo-mystical drivel she posts in her blog. So this is what she considers women empowering themselves.
Kreuk and Mack. What, did this guy raid the Smallville set one day???
My respect for this woman fell to zero when I read how she characterized those fans whose comments she deleted-- as "haters". Most of the followers of her blog have been left with the illusion that these comments were malicious or obscene-- an impression she has fostered and has done nothing to correct.
Well it ain't gonna end well and she can't say she wasn't warned. She's not a little sheep led astray, she's complicit, and I have sympathy only for those who she might have drawn into the spiderweb.
Have a friend who worked as a junior exec for a major hollywood movie mogul (think Richie Cunningham). She got invited to lots of parties and poker games. Crazy shit goes on at these parties. Hookers and blow etc. Some folks do anything they can to land a role. Its really no wonder MACK fell for a cult's psychobabble bullshit if she fell prey to the Hollywood or Vancouver casting couch.
Its no wonder NXIVM/Landmark/Scientology grabs footholds in the acting community. Easy prey a lot of these young men and women have already sold their morals/beliefs. NXIVM may look better and safer then what they had to do to get where they got. And they get to be manipulated as to why they made those choices
That's right, well said !
Mack isn't naive. She's been involved with NXIVM for a decade if not longer and she's programmed to perform. She put on the sweet, fragile, lost little girl/misunderstood artist routine to lure the fans in. It's all an act.
Mack knows how to use social media to further her own (and Raniere's) agenda. She understands full well what she is doing.
The only saving grace is she is a total nobody with limited talent and range beyond a specific circle. Still, it is awful to think of any young person being duped by these charlatans.
Mack's BFF Kreuk worries me as much as she does. Kreuk is playing the lead in the CW's remake of the old 80s tv show Beauty and the Best. (She plays Beauty)
If this show is picked up Kreuk will be back in the spotlight allowing her to share her version of reality with more of her fan club.
Least we not forget, Kreuk is the one who recruited Mack in the first place.
Neither of these women are victims. They are the pampered elite in this cult.
I've said this before but was vilified as a "hater" and a "shipper". It still doesn't change that these two women spread their bizarre cult inspired empowerment dogma in Kreuk's last two Smallville episodes, one of them aptly entitled Power.
These two vacation with Raniere and they vacation on exotic islands with the elite rich. We've seen photographs. They are not victims.
It's the young penniless fools they bring in who will never come anywhere near the rarified atmosphere they inhabit who are the true victims.
The fools who will never snog their god but will be promised some type of salvation which will never happen.
Meanwhile these third rate hacks live off their money. It's sick. I will reserve my pity for those who deserve it. The children they suck in to the cult. Not for the recruiters.
11 kids and only 1 wife??? C'mon Crockett, what kind of Mormon are you?
I followed the link back to Mack's blog to find this after she navel gazed, bringing up her Smallville years as an excuse to why she didn't go to college. (Never mind she could have walked away at the end of season 7 and sought higher education if she cared but the almighty dollar meant more I suppose).
"This is what I want to create with my site. I want allisonmack.com to be a place all people feel not only welcomed, but encouraged to come and share their voices, their perceptions and their beliefs. At the same time I would hope this site is a place that encourages curiosity and openness. A chance to truly hear others and adopt new ideas instead of blindly holding on to what is most familiar, to what we have always known."
Noble and worthy don't you think? THEN in her very next breath she says this:
"If you do not like the topics or the way I express myself, don’t come back. I have a writing style that is very personal and honest and I like that; if you don’t then maybe this isn’t the site for you. In my mind, kindness and creativity go hand in hand, so let’s make this a space to nurture and build."
So what? You can't disagree? Kindness means what? Sycophants need only apply??
No. NO that isn't what she means becuase she then says this:
"Please express honestly, but respectfully. No haters please, and, if you don’t agree with what someone writes, absolutely share your perspective with respect."
Respect meaning what? The comments she deleted where respectful. They were couched with so much love toward her and so much concern. Yet they were deleted because she doesn't want to hear criticism.
Finally the proof being in the proverbial pudding. One of her fans post this as a mea culpa for daring to doubt her goddess:
"Many of your fans are concerned for you for this reason and do not understand.
It is likely that this is due to our lack of information and our prejudices on the subject.
On the Internet we have only negative point of view.
It's time to show the truth by destroying all negative points.
We cannot leave the field open to people who write lies.
Once the facts have recovered, there will be many fewer misperceptions and negativity.
Transparency advocate by the Dalai Lama becomes important.
This will improve the depth of the discussions that will no longer be influenced by false speculation.
Takes care of you. "
And this is why Mack and her ilk are so dangerous, disingenous and devious.
Raniere had a pretty good scam going for himself and only fools those who are either ignorant of, or fail to critically use their minds concerning, his past history.
NXIVM is simply another concoction of the only business model he either knows how to run, or provides the least amount of work for himself, e.g. a multilevel marketing scheme - stolen from Amway like everything else he puts his name on - wrapped around concepts of life coaching and "being ethical."
The motivations are clear. He wants to do nothing, masturbate his own ego by pretending he knows something more than others while parasitically living off of others (egregiously hypocritical when one considers the Randian philosophy he promotes) ultimately so he can get pussy. He'll manipulate, con, talk the talk, but it's ultimately about all of the latter.
He's no different than your typical, insatiable, sexually obsessed con-artist. You can decorate and embroider a turd as much as you want, but it will still smell and remain a turd.
The only difference between his kind of con-artist and those who rot in jail is he appears to be somewhat intelligent. This allows him to masquerade better, and thus get away with more, at least for a while longer. Ultimately though, what goes around comes around.
It's never been about "being ethical" or changing the world. One can not be ethical by abusing people's lack of self-esteem, nor can one change the world by being a recluse in one's tiny little Half Moon housing enclave. These "banners" are just the hooks for manipulation, as all of the revelations concerning sexual misconduct, gambling, stalking, manipulation, etc. in the past few years here and elsewhere have confirmed.
And that is what makes someone like him dangerous, and to put it mildly, sickening.
You have peaked my interest in bringing down Kieth Raniere. I too have made a blog aimed at calling people on their bull, something I have wanted to do for a while.
Love your posts btw. keep it up man.
http://callingpeopleontheirbull.blogspot.ca/
This love connection is the natural logical progression for two people who have so much in common. They both demonstrate delusions of grandeur, an insatiable lust for attention and a sociopathic affinity for manipulating unsuspecting, gullible people for their own dirty pleasure.
Oh yeah, and Keith needs $ remember? Seems Clare can't squeeze as much out of Daddy. Legal teams and prosecutors and charity watchdog agencies (and maybe national media?) are circling the herd looking to move in for their cut of the action. What's an aging, recluse genius to do? Jail isn't a place for his kind. Allegations about a string of underage sexual assault victims can bite a guy in the ass once he hits the slammer.
Enter Allison. She has tons of dough (not hard-earned, but $$$ nonetheless). She's closing in on 30 and still can't think for herself. She has acquired a serviceable vocabulary and can even Tweet a Bartlett quotation here and there to impress her younger, starstruck fan base with her faux intellect and deep thinking (yawn).
Trouble is, she doesn't seem to hold a man in her life for very long. Apparently the whole "we aren't a cult, we're a family" story doesn't fly for the duration, just long enough to get her zipper moving in the right direction. But, she IS a commodity and she IS a resourceful gal. And she's most likely willing to do whatever if she confessed her deepest, darkest fears and insecurities to her inner circle buddies during a decade of NXIVM training and coaching.
Okay fans. The ball is in your court. Still wish to embrace and praise this person who makes dangerous and dubious choices? Look up to real heroes, not false idols. This book's cover is terribly deceiving. Woodward and Bernstein took this sage advice, and found the TRUTH --so should you: "Follow the money..."
Disappointed and naive is what I feel right now. All you Anonymous posters above--thanks! Everything I feel right now I think you guys have summed up nicely. Have quite literally just found out about this and what I've read angers me. I adored her ever since Smallville and thought that her blog WAS insightful and empowering. So in that respect she fooled me, I won't deny it. The fact that her blog might have an ulterior purpose (as yall have stated)is downright scary.
I don't plan to visit her blog anymore and this has easily put me off her future acting endeavours. It's a little sickening actually. I just hope this doesn't affect my appreciation of the Chloe Sullivan character (which I have no doubt it will FFS).
:(
I just want you to know that I used your picture of Allison Mack on my blog. I linked back to you, though, if you want to check. Great post!
No problem and I love your blog
I always knew that Allison was a little...not all there...now I understand completely and everything is starting to make a lot more sense.
She just lost a fan.
"I guess you were shocked when your fans just couldn’t understand why you would give up an acting career to fly 5000 miles to bone a pedophile. Really Allison makes perfect sense to me"
LMAO!
