NXVIM member Nicki Clyne gives confessional on twat bout hour ago. I ask her ( no reply ) about Schumer's files in the basement and the daycare facilities in FL and other countries.
The NXIVM narrative is a psy op
Keith made some powerful enemies when the daughters of billionaires took NXIVM classes and sought greater independence and personal and financial autonomy.
These powerful families weaponized the media against Keith and NXIVM for years, creating the "cult" stigma and a PR nightmare. Despite the bad publicity, thousands of people took classes and created a community of successful, thoughtful people seeking to make meaningful change.
The classes taught personal responsibility, emotional intelligence, and tools to better live by one's own ethics and values. Over 17,000 people took the education and improved their lives, as proven by anonymous questionnaires and measurable milestones of success.
Through the challenging of limiting beliefs and outdated social norms, people found greater degrees of freedom in their lives, and became less reliant on external success for a sense of worth. However, sometimes challenging long-held beliefs can be hard, and requires humility.
A few people in leadership positions within NXIVM were frustrated with their own unwillingness to push past limitations and NXIVM's persistent PR troubles. They wanted to be famous and successful in the "eyes of the world" and felt like the organization was holding them back.
Instead of simply owning their shortcomings and moving on, they blamed Keith and started an insidious hate campaign that spread lies and disinformation amongst the community. They made people sign NDAs to hear the lies, making it impossible to gather data and evaluate critically.
A former publicist for NXIVM who had a personal vendetta against Keith and Clare Bronfman after a business deal gone bad decided to wage war by publishing salacious, humiliating, and defamatory stories on his blog, the Frank Report.
People were afraid. There was enough truth to the rumors that people extrapolated validity. Fear is a hell of a tool to obstruct critical thinking, and it worked. Not to mention, no one wanted to be trashed online and the only way to avoid it was to disavow the organization.
Keith happened to have multiple long-term romantic partners. It wasn't a secret, but it wasn't broadcast publicly either. All of his partners were adult women who chose to be in an unconventional relationship for their own reasons. When some people learned, they felt deceived.
All of this might have just ended after a sensational news cycle, but you add the #MeToo movement, the secret women's sorority DOS, heiresses, celebrities, and branding, and you had the perfect ingredients for a trial by media that led to a Kafka-esque trial and a guilty verdict.
DOS was a women's organization that taught discipline, self-reliance, compassion, and interdependence through a serious commitment backed by collateral. You can learn more about it here:

The disgruntled former employees tried to conjure criminal charges for months to no avail. (Consenting adults.) It wasn't until a former actress wrote a book and did a media tour trying to "save" her 26-year-old daughter from the "cult" that authorities started to pay attention.
An ambitious prosecutor in the EDNY looking to make a name for herself saw an opportunity. She convinced a 29-year-old actress that a single consensual sex act wherein she was blindfolded and received oral sex by a woman was actually sex trafficking.
The FBI terrorized and threatened the entire NXIVM community.
Abuse of the RICO statute put everyone at risk. Women were offered starring roles as victims if they just surrendered their agency.
Some were happy to do it, others were threatened with deportation or prosecution.
