Charged: Clinton-Linked Nxivm Cult’s Doctor Forced Women to Watch Murders, Rapes in Horrendously Sick Experiments

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By The New York Post. A doctor described as the resident physician to the twisted upstate sex cult Nxivm has been charged by a state oversight board with illegally conducting human experiments.

The action comes eight months after the state Health Department refused to act on a complaint from a former cult member who alleged that Dr. Brandon Porter, 44, forced her to watch disturbing rape and dismemberment videos for a “fright study” he was conducting.

Jennifer Kobelt, the former member of the notorious cult whose leaders are accused of brainwashing and blackmailing women into becoming sex slaves, said in her August 2017 complaint that Porter may have performed his “fright study” on as many as 100 people.

“He continued to film my reaction for at least 10 minutes as I just sat there, dry heaving like I was going to puke and crying very hard,” Kobelt, a Canadian actress, said in the complaint to the Health Department, adding that Porter began showing her the violent images without warning.

Nxivm Doctor Accused of Conducting Illegal Human Experiments in ‘Fright Study’

By Newsweek. . .The New York State Office of Professional Medical Conduct said in a letter to Kobelt in September 2017 that they were not going to investigate Porter because “the issues you have described are not medical misconduct,” the New York Post reported.

The board is now accusing Porter of moral unfitness, gross negligence and gross incompetence, according to the Post. The doctor is also accused of “human subjects an actual video of the horrific and brutal murders and dismemberment of four women by machetes; and violent film clips, including a male African American being viciously stomped by a Nazi; a conscious male being forced to eat a portion of his own brain matter; and a graphic gang rape,” according to a report cited by the Post.

Porter has been also charged with not informing health officials about attendees falling ill with flu-like symptoms at an NXIVM event, the Post reported.

The internist doctor from Albany, New York, got his New York medical license in 2009 from the University of Iowa, according to public records. He had resigned from St. Peter’s Hospital in Albany in 2017. (Read more from “Nxivm Doctor Accused of Conducting Illegal Human Experiments in ‘Fright Study'” HERE)

Miami Toddler School Linked to Clinton Affiliated Nxivm Cult Shut down by State

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Miami New Times. In 2015, Raquel Perera, wife of 17-time Latin Grammy winner Alejandro Sanz, debuted a school called the Rainbow Cultural Garden in posh midtown Miami. Speaking to Univision, Perera bragged that by immersing toddlers in as many as seven languages at once, the school would revolutionize teaching. Univision credited a New York guru named Keith Raniere with developing the unusual plan.

Fast-forward nearly three years, and Raniere has now been outed as the leader of an alleged sex cult called NXIVM, which is accused of blackmailing women and branding them with flaming-hot irons. Last month, Raniere was arrested by the FBI on sex-trafficking charges; an Albany home tied to the Rainbow Cultural Garden has been raided by the feds, while British authorities are investigating a Rainbow-affiliated school in London.

Now the State of Florida has ordered the midtown Miami school to shut down immediately after New Times brought the facility to the state’s attention. Florida officials say the school was not currently licensed to operate.

“[The Department of Children and Families] has no tolerance for any activities that put children at risk, including operating an unlicensed child-care facility,” David Frady, a spokesperson for the department, said Thursday. “DCF initiated a child protective investigation and ordered the facility to immediately cease operations this afternoon.”

Neither Perera nor Sanz responded to messages from New Times this week. But through a spokesperson, the school says that it is now owned by a woman named Patricia Pietra and that Perera is no longer affiliated with Rainbow Cultural Garden Miami.

Actress: Allison Mack Used Feminism to ‘Lure’ Me into Her Sex Cult Nxivm

By The Daily Beast. On Thursday morning, actress Samia Shoaib went on Megyn Kelly TODAY to share her experience of being wooed by top NXIVM recruiter Allison Mack. Shoaib’s story comes in the wake of Mack’s indictment, alongside alleged sex cult leader Keith Raniere, on charges of sex trafficking conspiracy, sex trafficking, and conspiracy to commit forced labor. Mack was released on a $5 million bond on Tuesday to electronically monitored house arrest.

The news that an ex-Smallville actress is being charged as a sex cult second-in-command has shed new light on old tweets, in which Mack appears to be appealing to actresses and influencers on behalf of her unique cause. Mack targeted high-profile women like Emma Watson—she @’d the A-lister multiple times, at one point writing, “I’m a fellow actress like yourself & involved in an amazing women’s movement I think you’d dig. I’d love to chat if you’re open.” . . .

Samia Shoaib told Page Six on Saturday that Mack targeted her after the two met at a 2013 NBC audition. Shoaib, who appeared in The Sixth Sense and Sex and the City, described Mack as “fragile and gaunt,” but admitted, “I wish I could tell you alarm bells went off, but they really didn’t. She was a very sweet girl.”

Shoaib went into more detail on Thursday, describing Mack’s attempts to recruit her to JNess, the NXIVM women’s group that Mack raved about on her personal website and in video testimonials. Shoaib told Megyn Kelly that, within days of meeting Mack, the Smallville actress had sent her “dozens of emails” and talked up her women’s movement. Mack also put Shoaib on an email list through which she received various invitations, including one to a 2015 gathering that billed Mack as a speaker and “leader of JNess.” (Read more from “Actress: Allison Mack Used Feminism to ‘Lure’ Me into Her Sex Cult Nxivm” HERE)

Nxivm Sex Trafficking Cult Now Connected to Supreme Court Justice, Clinton Fundraiser, Not Just Smallville Actress and U.S. Senator Gillibrand’s Father

/4 Comments/in , , /by

By Big League Politics. Longtime Clinton friend and fundraiser Richard Mays, an Arkansas lawyer, was active with the New York sex cult that reportedly hacked emails sent and received by Hillary Clinton.

Mays had an extensive videotaped conversation with the cult’s leader Keith Raniere — who has been arrested for sex trafficking alongside his protégé, Smallville actress Allison Mack, and whose cult allegedly branded women with his initials. That interview was part of the “Keith Raniere Conversations” program, available on his website.

Mays reportedly had “intensive classes with Raniere,” whose Nxivm cult was previously called Executive Success Programs.

Mays has long been linked to the Clintons, and Bill Clinton appointed him to the Arkansas Supreme Court. New York magazine once described him as “a Clinton friend and one of Hillary’s top fund-raisers.” (Read more from “Nxivm Sex Trafficking Cult Now Connected to Supreme Court Justice, Clinton Fundraiser, Not Just Smalllville Actress and U.S. Senator Gillibrand’s Father” HERE)

The Dark Cult with Billionaires, Stars, and Allegations of Sex Slavery

By The New York Post. Nxivm had all the hallmarks of a money-scamming cult — but the truth was far, far worse.

Devotees of the upstate self-help organization pay thousands of dollars for seminars, wear colored sashes denoting their “rank,” spout Scientology-like jargon, and literally bow before leader Keith Raniere — whom they call “The Vanguard.”

Nxivm (pronounced “Nexium”) has deep pockets, outposts around the world, and draws celebrity attendees, including actresses Allison Mack, Kristin Kreuk and Nicki Clyne, and even hosted the Dalai Lama at an event in 2009 . . .

On Monday, Raniere’s secret world came crashing down when authorities tracked him down in Mexico after a months-long manhunt and arrested him for sex trafficking and forced labor. (Read more from “The Dark Cult with Billionaires, Stars, and Allegations of Sex Slavery” HERE)

Smallville Star Allison Mack ‘Wants Plea Deal’ over Nxivm Sex Cult Charges

By News.au. Smallville star-turned-accused-sex-slaver Allison Mack is looking to cut a deal with the feds in Brooklyn, according to a new affidavit.

Mack’s lawyers and federal prosecutors have agreed to delay proceedings against her until May 3, because “they are engaged in plea negotiations, which they believe are likely to result in a disposition of this case without trial,” according to a document filed Friday.

Mack was the No. 2 in a sex cult run by Keith Raniere under the guise of his upstate self-help group, Nxivm (pronounced “nexium”), according to authorities.

Prosecutors say that Mack, 35, used her star power to lure young women into the group and that she and Raniere then forced the women to go on crash diets and “branded” them like cattle as Mack groomed them for sex with Raniere.

Raniere and Mack have pleaded not guilty to sex-trafficking and forced-labour charges. (Read more from “Smallville Star Allison Mack ‘Wants Plea Deal’ over Nxivm Sex Cult Charges” HERE)

Gillibrand Rival Slams Her Father’s Ties to Alleged Sex-Slave Cult

By The New York Post. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand must come clean about her family’s connection to an alleged sex-slave cult upstate whose leader was arrested by the FBI on Monday, her Republican rival said.

GOP senatorial candidate Chele Farley noted that Gillibrand’s father, Doug Rutnik, was once a lobbyist for NXIVM and its founder, Keith Raniere.

“For Kirsten Gillibrand, the self-proclaimed #MeToo Senator, to claim ignorance about a notorious sex-slave cult, in her own backyard, is simply hard to believe,” said Farley.

Raniere hired Rutnik as a lobbyist in 2004, only to later sue him. Rutnik settled the case for $100,000. (Read more from “Gillibrand Rival Slams Her Father’s Ties to Alleged Sex-Slave Cult” HERE)
