The lack of coverage on this is amazing, this was way back in April and i learned about it today on a podcast because a viewer asked Michael Rosenbaum about it.

A feminist recruiting other feminist to be sex slaves for a Man, skin branding and all :hammer:

Mack, 35, is alleged by prosecutors to have recruited slaves for pay, forcing the women to have sex with Raniere, and using explicit photos and damaging information to ensure their compliance.

While Raniere paid fines in both New York and Arkansas in the case, over a decade later NXIVM executives proceeded to donate $29,900 to Hillary Clinton's presidential 2006 campaign - and at least three NXIVM officials are "invitation-only" members of the Clinton Global Initiative.

The so-called journalists are confused on how to play this, so they say little/nothing till they gain clarity.

They sure dont want to be going wrong according to the #METOO crowd!
 
It was discussed at length when it was announced.
 
This actually has been all over the news, and I've read it. Just wasn't interested beyond a point in these sick puppies.

"nxivm-news" gets me only 31,000 hits on Google...that is not much given how big the story is and how long it has been around.

I agree with the OP, this story is lightly traveled.

I note as well DP's lack of interest.

So you are not at all curious about the house of cards that is probably behind it? How many people knew and said nothing? How many people knew and accepted political donations? How many people are possibly in this "circle" of insane people?

The a lack of interest in this amazing.

By who? I just learned about it today and i am pretty tuned in to whats happening. Surely it was discussed but "at length" is an overstatement.

I think there is a general hard sense of WTF??? surrounding all this. These arent naive little children. These arent people being coerced on the casting couch.

Weird....

"On April 20, 2018, Mack was arrested by the FBI on charges of sex trafficking, sex trafficking conspiracy and forced labor conspiracy."


Right around then...

Well when you have MACK swearing up and down that women were not in fact victims of a Bad Man as the state claims that works as a monkey wrench in the story...what are the so-called journalists supposed to do with that in the age of #METOO hysterics?

It’s apparently Ayn Rand’s fault

What makes the NXIVM ?sex cult? so awful? An Ayn Rand fan exploiting women?s need for sisterhood | Salon.com

We had a thread or two on here about it. This story doesn't involve Trump so after a day or so Its out of the cycle. Find a way to tie in Russia and it may get some traction

What are we to do with this information, this is such a mainstream thought breaker, which is why i think the lack of conversation about it is interesting. Like...whats up

Ya know...ive read several stories about this. What I haven seen is a story about an individual forced against their will to join this little cult or being branded against their will.

I dont know.

I just think it sucks that they are allowed to ignore it, this is huge and could explain so much of the confusion that currently exist. Like how can she be a feminist but also be okay with this? That is a conversation that would answer a lot of questions.

Isn't the notion that you don't know, should provoke further investigation, seems weird how we just let these things go.

Come on now....we are not allowed to talk about subjects that make the BUS DRIVERS TO UTOPIA uncomfortable..."THAT IS OUT OF BOUNDS!!"....

There is a very simple answer: Whatever else she is, this woman is crazy.

Even DP, a forum i've been apart of for years is trying to stop this message, which is even more weird. So if i'm gone after this idk what to say.
