NXIVM - Allison Mack

Update: Mack to be released on $5 million bail today

Allison Mack is to be released on $5 million bail today and will be on home arrest – cyber monitoring – and will reside in California with her parents pending trial.

Her parents put up their home and Mack herself put up her retirement account as bail.

….

Mack has agreed to toll the speedy trial clock until May 3, on the premise that she may agree to a plea deal. That deal, if made, will most certainly include testifying against Raniere.

The judge had previously restricted Mack from using NXIVM-related money to make bail.

….

There are a number of stipulations as part of her release on home detention. She must live at her mother’s house, will wear a monitoring device and will be barred from using a cell phone and the internet.

….

With the bar of contact, and no internet or cell phone access, Mack is effectively barred from running the sex slaver cult activities. How this will effect her slaves is to be seen.

Reps need to do better than just demonize their opponents. That strategy doesn't work very well in many areas.

The RNC should have a database of which campaigning strategies and candidate types appeal to each district, state, and territory. Use this to help select and train newbies. These are local not national elections. One has to target his message to what resonates to the people living there.

People have this perception that fed gov agencies/departments are free to do whatever they want. They can't. A major problem we have inside the gov is most civilian employees are risk adverse and are/have weak supervisors. When wrongdoing occurs, they don't want to hold the culprits accountable unless they're forced or it rises to the level where they have no choice.

NSA falls under DoD. So, DoD and Congress constantly oversee them. One of Congress' primary jobs is conducting oversight of the entire Executive Branch. Every day they should be a PITA looking for wrongdoing, wasteful spending, or other problems. Their GAO is feared because they're really good.

The Executive Branch is way too big for the overseers to catch everything. IMO we either need shrink it down to a more managable size or hire competent veterans into supervisory positions. Good managers can keep everything running properly while poor ones almost never do.
