The Washington Standard: When the reality of a secretive women’s “self-help group” began to come to light last year, there were several questions about why it was reported members of the group were forced to submit nude photos as collateral when they joined or why they were “branded” with the founder’s initials. Now, the latest reports expose this group is actually an elite sex slavery cult, and federal authorities have moved in to take out the alleged leader.
After several former members begged for law enforcement’s help last October, police appeared to sit idly by without acting. However, it appears that has now changed.
The ring leader, Keith Raniere, was arrested by federal officials in Mexico, where he has lived for the past five months, one federal official said. According to the complaint, Raniere was charged with sex trafficking, sex trafficking conspiracy, and conspiracy to commit forced labor.
As the NY Times reports, according to the complaint, female followers of the group headed by Mr. Raniere were forced to have sex with him because they feared that if they did not do so, compromising material they had provided about themselves would be released publicly.
For two decades, Mr. Raniere has served as the leader of an organization near Albany called Nxivm (pronounced Nex-e-um). The group, which describes itself as a “self-help” organization, denies it is a cult. But former members have said that Mr. Raniere demands obedience from his followers, who refer to him as “Vanguard.”
The group has attracted around 16,000 members over the last 20 years, and while it labels its courses as ones that are “designed to bring about greater self-fulfillment by eliminating psychological and emotional barriers,” one former member described the horrific, scarring, initiation process.
Sarah Edmondson said she was among five women who were told to undress and lay down on a table where other members restrained their arms and legs. They were instructed to say, “Master, please brand me, it would be an honor,” before a doctor used a cauterizing device to “sear a two-inch-square symbol below each woman’s hip.”
A previous report from the New York Times claimed that Raniere, 57, has been described by former members as “a man who manipulated his adherents, had sex with them and urged women to follow near-starvation diets to achieve the type of physique he found appealing.”
While the report claimed that “several former members have asked state authorities to investigate the group’s practices,” it noted that “officials have declined to pursue action.”
Only after the mainstream media began shedding light on this case did authorities actually look into it. MORE HERE
Now let’s hear more those trips to Pedo Island with Jeffrey Epstein and the Pants-Dropper-And-Thief!

If you follow Q, he claims the entire Democrat party is full of child molesters and the Clinton Foundation has been supplying Saudis with children to abuse for a long time. The Podesta brothers are suppose to be some sick and twisted puppies. If the sounds thin google up Tony Podesta’s art collection.
Any of the “brands” say Willie was here?

OK, I didn’t read the entire story but there must be numerous gray areas when you start our with what seems to be a totally voluntary involvement and willing participation.
Bad-Brad yes you are correct. Roxanne Barr be putting this for years and people ignored her she said that she told trump about it and he is doing something about.
Bet they all were told to vote Democrat.
There are always x percentage of a group of people who are followers, who look for someone else to figure things out, who will give them a reason to live their lives with a purpose (instead of being self-directed, I guess). But agreeing to be photographed naked and branded? 16,000 of them?
Thus, the general psychosis of the wymmin’s movement is explained, at least in part.
“greater self-fulfillment by eliminating psychological and emotional barriers” sounds a lot like scientology crap.
Dayum.

YOU MISOGYNIST!!!! These totally adult, completely competent, you ARE NOT THE BOSS OF THEM!, women are NOT responsible for what they do! They voted on it.
I’m thinking I’m gonna call Mr. Peabody to see if he can let me use his “Wayback Machine” to go back maybe a hundred years or so.
Maybe limited modern conveniences, but reality is really getting to be a bit much to stomach when there’s no consequences for these types of… No can’t call them animals cause animals don’t behave this badly.

Sounds satanic to me… then again, what else could it be? Any ritual is unless it’s prayer to God, but this really takes the cake.
“Sounds satanic to me”
You should follow Q. There’s a name for what ever the hell they practice. But in short they torture their victims until adrenaline is released and then they drink the victims blood. It’s some sick shit supposedly tied into Adam Shifty and the Standard Hotel. I didn’t get this just from Q.
Actually, now that you mentioned it… I do remember hearing about that during the election. Something incriminating about it was in the Podesta emails.
Who is this Q though?
Well, lookie here: New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand’s father has ties to a sex cult whose leader was just arrested at a luxury villa in Mexico and deported back to the US to face labor and sex trafficking charges
Gillibrand’s father Doug Rutnik has tied to alleged sex cult leader Keith Raniere
Rutnik was hired as a lobbyist for Raniere in 2004 and was later sued by him
Raniere, 57, was arrested in Mexico on Sunday and extradited to Texas and charged with sex trafficking and forced labor conspiracy
He is the leader of a secretive group called NXIVM headquartered in Albany
The group has been described by former members as a ‘sex cult’ that brandishes and brainwashes women
Raniere left the US last year after details of women being branded with his initials were made public.

Q is somebody inside the Trump Admin. Close to Trump. He posts on 8chan as Q anom. Q is a very high security clearance. He leaves what are termed as “Bread Crumbs”. They are hints to what is going on clandestinely. Some believe he’s authentic, others believe it’s a hoax. A lot of us are leaning towards he’s real just based on a few of his hint’s coming true. But it’s based on the belief that the average citizen only is informed on a bout 20% of what is actually taking place in our government. I’ll link where you can follow him. Every “Drop” he makes is a blue 6 digit code in the upper of the frame. Click that code and it will take you to 8 chan where they run down the clue. WARNING, it’s addictive.
