Ex-NXIVM Member Recalls Alleged Abuse By Leader Keith Raniere | Megyn Kelly TODAY
![[Live] : ONE 168 วันนี้!! "โจนาธาน vs ซุปเปอร์เล็ก"](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/0jIN65KgJsI/mqdefault.jpg)
The fact that she thought she was his girlfriend is also brainwashing.
I LOVE the way Megan says so confidently, "No, I'm not." when his attorney suggests that EVERYONE is guilty of exaggerating on their resumes.
He backed off so quickly when he realized that angle wasn’t gonna take
Sorry to be offtopic but does someone know of a way to log back into an instagram account??
I stupidly lost my login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me!
@Julian Braden Instablaster =)
@Beckett Xander Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm trying it out now.
Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Beckett Xander It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thanks so much, you really help me out :D
Trauma bonding, an attachment through the wound of abuse. Such a difficult bond to break. The strength in life comes from within. Know thyself.
She can’t bring herself to talk bad about him... that’s so sad.
She seems to still be under his brainwashing.
Her therapist introduced her to him??? Yeah ok I'll say she's not a good therapist😑😒
Heavenly Hermosas for sure🤨
her therapist was also the co-president of NXIVM - Nancy Salzman
What a crappy therapist
Therapist was a psychiatric nurse who founded a cult. Before founding the cult, she was practicing psychotherapy without a license. Keith also banged her, Nancy Salzman according to several accounts.
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 facts, how many people are “friends” with their therapist???
He was no genius...... He was a con artist at its best.
He really was. What's more dangerous is I don't think he knew he was one. He really thought he was a genius.
A tattoo artist
She's still very complimentary about him for some reason.
She is lucky she got away. A lot of women in Keith's environment died or disappeared.
she is discussing the truth about how he portrayed himself. people who talk about Jim Jones would say the same - he was enigmatic.
Yeah well, honestly, can you do what he did if you wanted to? Have many, many women loyal to him, have his birthday celebrated for 2 weeks non stop, have women branded by his initial..all of them gave their permission! Probably not. So yeah i'd say he's smart.
@@sb9344 Got him 120 years in prison. I'd say he's not smart.
@@gonzothegreat1317 i'd say he's too cocky. Well can you do what he did? Again, probably not. And whether or not you desire such thing is irrelevant.
Why isn't the world talking about the rising problem of narcissism? The internet and gov't plans to eliminate empathy?
Yes it's an epedemic
It's not a rising problem, it's always been. Look at your history books. It's just now that more average people are learning about it.
They have done that already in so many spheres of our society..govt, churches, corporatist, medical community
Because the media profits and partakes in all of the above.
This has been a problem since we started walking upright
DANG! The guys lawyer is a perfect example of why the general population (civilians) think lawyers are so sleazy! 🤮
How do you know that a lawyer is lying? Their lips are moving...LOL
I'm glad she had the courage to expose someone like that and I'm glad she had the courage to leave! Her life will be much better now
She will fall for the next as fast as he comes along.
some churches and their "spiritual retreats" can induce similar experiences - they can be inspirational, but that doesn't mean that it really transform your life for the best - it is important to guard our mind from mass hypnosis coming from everywhere
Yes and many churcu s are involved in the same thing
Then you're definitely not going to a real church but to some leftist liberal utopian church.
It doesn't matter if he could form full sentences at age one, even that first sentence was probably a lie.
Heather Swift right
This is a genius thought and comment 😂
he tried to manipulate his parents xd
I hope ex Mexican president Salinas de Gortari's son Emiliano who also worked with Rainere in Mexico's branch of Nxivm be brought to justice like Rainere was.
Daddy it's trying to fix his 💩 but he's facing Mr.President and it's not as easy as before
That won't happen. Those people run Mexico.
Why is she praising him that’s not the point
That makes it more clear she's honest. It is not open and shut. Whilst we all like the simplicity of who is good and who is bad real life is often not like that. She isn't anyway supporting him now.
Ba S she wasn't but she was being honest. If he's intelligent he's intelligent. He would have to be to start a cult. These cult leaders are not stupid
Jane Smith
Mm, indeed. This is an honest and a realistic take on the human condition, one on which I can agree... wholeheartedly. Just as good people can possess bad characteristics, so too can bad people possess good characteristics.
yes she is. does she know it? she participated. nobody can make somebody do something that isn't already in them to do. @@janesmith3287
the predators' repertoire is extremely limited, but they excel at preying and finding ones who will prey with them. the ones who don't aren't in their circle. the ones who do are. now they are trying to throw him under the bus as if they have been innocent. give me a break. @@shannonmcclary2805
He needs to stay locked up!!!
And branded with the names of all the women who have been branded!
I love that Megan said no I’m not in regards to Keith Raniere lying about his resume when his lawyer said we all are in trouble when it comes to exaggerating our resume, and our accomplishments.
Pimping 101 people, is definitely not something you have to be an intellectual genius to accomplish. Which is why human trafficking has always been so, so high for all of human history.
I don’t like Megan Kelly, but this was a good interview, very informative. Thank you for posting it.
@Sharon Riley too bad, she speaks so highly of you
We have something in common, I don’t like her either.
Same.
This should have been more informative
Megyn Kelly no longer admits to being part Czech now that she is trying to cover up the Ivana Trump and Ghislaine Maxwell Jeffrey Epstein connections.
Sounds like a another cult.
It is...
How effing stupid are these women??? Pathetic.
Not to speak out of turn or something I keep up probably more than others, but I believe it has a lot to do with these women become brainwashed....so they make these women feel like if they left they are missing out on something wonderful...which we know is far from the truth....these women and even owner needs lots of prayers....for NXIVM to be stopped...
It is u moron lol
Kinda slow on the uptake....
It's a cult...end of story
No one said it wasnt..
its a arm off a world cult....satanism...wake up people connected to clinton foundatiom! do your research....open your eyes this was first in many many more!
Good for you Megan. I didn’t embellish my resume either.
ALL that genius and not one lesson learned or taught on how to stay out of prison. I know people who work at the gas station by my house that have that one figured out. He's not as smart as he thinks he is.
True...so do you know how to do the prison??
@@jupiteryandje8678 lmao. Ya tell us we want to know
She has said TWICE that they were together and she's able to conceive this as so because "people would make way for her on the couch" so she could sit next to him. Really? Is this how a boy tells you that you are his girlfriend??? I'm no Reneire supporter but I think this lady was super naive as was probably most of his followers.
I haven't heard any crimes yet, these women were educated, affluent and knew he was with other women. She just said they weren't celebrating his birthday really, it was a conference and he's the founder right. I haven't heard anything criminal but someone was claiming children were being trafficked, he'd be still in business if kids were being sold since the elite are the ones who buy them...#pizzagateisreal
Go listen again. Lol
A pity Megyn Kelly did NOT ask the same tough questions in her interview with Mr James Alefantus of Comet Ping Pong.
Carina Visschedijk EXACTLY... BOOYAH
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YES!!
I read about his claims and I believed that he just made these stories up. In fact, I think it’s obvious. What shocks me is that so many supposedly intelligent people believed him!
He told these people that he was the most intelligent man on the earth! How could you not suspect that he was a liar?
Sounds just like Trump....
Jim Jones cult was similar
@@janischristiansen6689 Exposed it and found prosecutors that will actually do their jobs
I would have presented him a simple math problem to test his claims.
@@ronwalker4849 a victim of the cult named "share his vision" is posting a new video at 6 oclock, he will talk about the cult at the 5 minute mark ... listen to his whole video. he knows the pain well. look for his channel. its the new video with the illuminati cigarettes in the thumbnail. he also speaks of the nwo in the new video
Keith and Charles Manson seem like twins. Check out how Keith's past goes back to slick willie clinton. This web goes deep . I hope TRUE Justice is served and all involved go down.
Amazing Polly is digging into it. I do too hope they all go down. I don't feel sorry for any of these primary women. The good will be if trying to defend himself he takes them down with him. That would be poetic. They held down other women as they were being scorched. That's brutal. Very, very brutal. "We were being emotionally traumatized together." Good Lord.
Just discovered Amazing Polly. th-cam.com/video/Q48-ZHhAX-g/w-d-xo.html
Bouchy is still getting her "importance fix" from her involvement in Nexivm. At some point she's going to have to realize she still hasn't learned to look inward for her value and is continuing to be dependent on the opinion of outside authority.
what?
I noticed that as well.
SPOT ON!
😂 this is principally y self help books sell so well. They play on ur greed and insecurities just as any other scam. The goal is to take ur money ultimately and what better way to do it than by luring u in with promises of making u into a better person lolol
She loved his teaching more than Gods word.
Just another cult thought isn't it lol
Cult is everywhere in the world but in AMERICA is 😮 😯 😲 😮. When will people learn.
The most disgusting is the ex president of Mexico Carlos Salinas de Gortari's son is involved too🤬
😄😃🤣🤣😂😁
so, how many women did she recruit into the cult, i wonder?!
@@aniadraws Probably 666.
Lots And Got them,to,hand over Their Trust funds
You've no idea if she recruited anyone but yet you're happy to make such an insinuation
Andrew Read Captive
Stormy Daniels, Huma Abedine, and Anthony Weiner were members
They say they look forward to conducting the cross examination "in public" , and yet there are no cameras in courtroom, and only 8-10 seats available for the public. All other seating is designated for the defense, the press, etc... but half empty!!
This guy is like a lot of guys, he saw the Scientology business model, figured" I'M better looking than LRH ,I want that money"
Lol literally!
Same spirit
I like how the crowd groans in discuss when the host mentions that Barbara was branded with out anesthesia is if it was assumed they used anesthesia in the first place.
Why would you give "collateral" incriminating pictures of yourself to any.leader? You do not let someone get something on you, fool!
imagine you fear something for example you fear talking to strangers. i as a couch would ask you to give me 1000 USD and you have to talk to 100 strangers on the streets earning 10 USD back on everyone. if you dont i can keep the money.
its motivational or so i would explain it. its to push you over your comfort zone you usally wouldnt go over.
can be good tactic or bad.
Megyn is sooo great when she showed his lawyer how he lied on his "resume". Then the guy is like "oh we all do it"...she is like...NOOO. And the lawyer does agree, like he isn't a liar himself:-).He just feels kinda bad, so she wins.
Meghan. Eyes don’t suit her😅
Why would anyone in their right mind let someone brand them with a red hot piece of metal? These were supposed to be intelligent people, and they can't see that something is seriously wrong with this whole thing? Anybody tells me they want to brand me, I'm outta there so fast it'd be a new speed record.
They made them strip naked and forced them to hold one another down to brand them
It was done with a lazer and it lasted up to 30min
@@TheSnowReport28 How do I join? LOL.
Emotionally Unstable, people come in all walks a life. Book smarts has nothing to do with it. People usually do anything for the person they Love.
its a cult, they got brainwashed
I notice a lot of these people who do messed up things, have something in their eyes.
I noticed she never really answered the actual questions.
simply a psychopath looking for emotionally vulnerable not too intelligent people ( no offence ) or whose emotional stability or support system was weak
and he’s very good at it
and hopefully he will find “peace “so to speak in jail or possibly on the outside
Exactly! Couldn’t be very intelligent,if you’d fall for this nonsense
The women who joined seem bright but dumb at the same time. I’m not sure why these professional women fell for this con-man. I think cults prove there are different kinds of intelligence.
As a female, this sounds like women making excuses for their extremely poor judgment & choices. Likely rooted in daddy issues.
#FredWinslow
Maybe you don't know this yet, but the Son and the daughter of two former Mexican presidents are involved in this CULT as well. Emiliano Salinas, son of former president Carlos Salinas de GORTARI... and the daughter of Vicente Fox, also former president of Mexico!!! Everybody in Mexico is counting down the weeks and months for these two to be imprisoned. Mind you, these two presidents we're two of the five most corrupted in the history of Mexico.
It's weird that they never talk about the kids help group ranier started called Rainbow Culture Club....
Rainbow culture .... Sounds very suspect.
Wait rainbow club..... the little girls club?
@Deplorable Cat if only someone had the balls to take out all the rich pedophiles out there
Mark Twain said, "It's easier to fool someone than convince them they've been fooled." Even more when you have "skin" in the game.
That's why pro football players go broke chasing bad investments with worse ones.
And that's how people join a self help group and, after paying lots of money and the giving of their time, chase a return on that investment.
Trying to get that return creates a "blind spot" for evil. Instead of cutting your losses, you double down.
She's still hooked.
I understand this is a cult and they should be held accountable for their actions but what is the big deal about speaking at two? My son was speaking at two. Full sentences. You have to give me more than that.
She is still brainwashed.
That poor woman. The brainwashing is strong with that one.
It’s so heartbreaking. I wish people would rake Kristin Kreuk over the coals for recruiting Allison into nxivm, watching her get in so deep, and then, simply washing her hands of her part in this mess; sitting idle as Allison is judged, humiliated, chastised, demonized as she waits to be sentenced. We know what Allison did wrong, but why don’t we hear a bit more about her circumstances? Classy, Kristin.
Didn't know that. Scientology does same thing. Recruit famous people. Make them disconnect from family etc.
It’s ignorance, weak mind, insecurity, no family closeness..which make people joint the cults.
He just got convicted--hahaha!
There is nothing like self help because all humans need salvation from Jesus Christ and not from any man and that is why the GOSPEL is been preached.
I am amazed at how people are so deceived and when the GOSPEL is preached this same people will ridicule it and yet fall for this deception. And that is why JESUS CHRIST DIED ON THE CROSS FOR THE SINS OF THE WHOLE WORLD. PEOPLE SEEK THE TRUTH WHICH IS JESUS CHRIST. HE IS THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN GIVE YOU PEACE.
Ralph Munonyedi amen.
Not that Allison Mack has plead out and agreed to testify against Raniere, he's toast.
I was just thinking the same thing PT. This whole thing screams Hollywood movie, but will this just stroke this maniac's enormous wacked out ego even more? Lord, help all the people who have been hurt by all this insanity.
this host is amazing!
can anybody say Scientology!? 😟
Soulmate 🙄😱
She was newly divorced not transformed. She was manipulated and fell for it.
2.2 GPA 🤣🤣
She would have stayed.🙄
It's possible for a 1 year to speak fluently or even read. My younger sister did and it was a shock to a lot of people, even my other sister walked at 6months
yes it is possible, just very rare my friend was "interviewed" by her mother she could "introduce" herself and say where she lived and she knew her parents name at 7 months... my nephew walked at 7months which was wiered cause he was sooo tiny...;)
I have 2 nieces (they are cousins to each other, not sisters) who spoke in full sentences at 1 year old.
Yeah, I spoke in full sentences before the age of 2. It's not unheard of. From my perspective, it's hilarious that he used that as "evidence" he was the most intelligent man in the world to start a cult.
Also this secta.joins some people who belongs in the Mexican politics Salinas de gortary family
His name Emiliano Salinas son of one expresidente Carlos Salinas de gortary
Salinas and some others
They came from important
Mexican families.
Hopefully the law put them
In jail for long time....
Hunny, he didn’t love you...
That whole Alison Mack thing still breaks my heart. How sad.
Something I find a little sad is that she still wants to have that claim of knowing the real him that nobody else knew, because if she believes that then she can pretend that she was the only one who wasn't truly conned like everybody else
Great observation, I noticed that too. She still gets her worth from knowing him, the true him. She was conned and he didn't love her but if she really faces that,....well....
Keith has been sentenced to 120 years in jail on multiple felony charges as on 10.30.2020
I think that people who fall for other humans like this are as weak as you could possibly be.
Deplorable Gal not weak but unaware
@@marieterese2926 By your comment I assume your a Democrat BAHAHAHHA
I watched the 4 part nxivm documentary and thought "man thats scary"... then in it, they mentioned Jim jones and the 1000 person suicide. Then I watched the documentary on that, and it makes Keith Raniere look like an angel, lol
How do people fall into these cults??!!! If someone said hand me the deed to your house...and you do it!??? Wtf
I GOTTA SAY my third child was speaking full sentences at age one. She's now two and can argue with adults. Fun times.
Guilty on all counts as of 6/19/19. Bye Keith. No one on this planet can hand us the key to our lives. We have to strive and learn by trial and error and deal with the human condition and trust in God/Divine Mind to have a plan for our lives. Take classes and workshops with teachers who can help expand your knowledge. That's a beautiful thing to do. But do not EVER worship a teacher. We are all humans equally trying to figure things out. Even the supposed "gurus." Never ever give your precious and unique power to a "guru."
She was his significant girlfriend? Lol. She knew what was going on
fallon colbert fallon and alec baldwin were all closely connected to Keith Raniere
Oh my God Barbara still loves him so much ! She can’t stop praising him
I read Captive .That Book you could feel,Cathrines Pain.
Good job Barbara......keep exposing what really happened & hopefully those who are still doubters will wake up, come forward and add to the narrative so the public can see the whole picture!
i didnt realize megan was the interviewer the topic is important couldnt you find a credible interviewer?
Really strong reporting work and presenter
This is probably why Megan was fired not the Halloween make-up comment.
He is a narcissist.
#PROTECTtheCHILDREN !!! Do ur jobs journalists !!!
What was illegal? If convincing people to act against their own interests is a crime, then the Federal gov't needs to arrest itself rather than this man.
Obviously there's much more to the story, right?
He can play the piano..Wow! ..intelligent man..bright man..Wow3x..Women are Easy!
So I’m 30 mins into research and I still have yet to uncover exactly what he did. Did he go to jail for having sexual relationships with multiple women ? I’m confused, someone pls explain
Women empowered to be gullible 🤔
I like to celebrate my birthday all month or longer, lol so do I get a special title?
My oldest son could speak in full clear sentences by the time he was 8 months old. He would be in his walker and tell people they could come in. Granted he was my 1st born and I was a single mother so I spent a lot of time talking to him and reading to him but I would certainly imagine that it happens often.
Why is #MeToo quiet about this?
White priviledge
Sociopaths don’t do any work & just talk. Raniere was a smooth talker
Like how they keep saying Alleged he's the fall gut Allison Mack is just as guilty if not more of the leader
I wonder why people aren't noticing that AM (Allison Mack) is embedded in that branding as well as KR for Keith Raniere? It is clear as day. She was the "figurehead" leader of DOS while Ramiere was the puppet master. I firmly believe she was a victim of his but, at some point, victims are groomed into abusers and that is what happened here. She was given a 3 year sentence on June 30, 2021 but, I feel it should have been longer.
Wouldn't a big red flag be the collateral info? I would find it hard to believe, I'm part of something that is meant for positiveness, yet I have to provide info that can be damaging to me as proof of loyalty? Nah. That situation is totally shady.
By ''self helped'' you mean be sold for bondage?
What's shocking was Chloe from Smallville's involvement. From Smallville to Brightburn..
More shocking it was Kristen aka Lana Lang who first introduced her to it in the first place.... Guess she's smarter than the clever girl in Smallville
Why Agnifalo would take that case to court with a “not guilty” plea is beyond me. Most lawyers would focus on lowering the jail time or cutting deals out of court. Def a stain on his career record
I'm like...like...like...ok....you are an adult. Stop talking like a teenager.
All manipulators are skilled at conning the vulnerable. Not me I see through it all.
Wow! What a journey it has been, Barbara.
I love you. And believing the very best!!
My daughter spoke in complete sentences at age 12 months. Not saying he did not lie, but I know it is possible for a child that young to speak in sentences.
I don't think he was smart like they say, I think the women weren't experienced enough to be smarter, thats all.
There is no mention of money , Where and how did they get funding?
5:53 - 6:01
There's not much to say about this besides, "Wow this guy is a snake."
Why are women so naive and trusting? Do we even question motives or agendas?
BB sounds very sensible. It is going to be a difficult trial unless they can find subsidiary offences that can clearly be proven about money transfers and that kind of thing. The branding could well be argued as consensual - there are loads of people into BDSM stuff who will endure it by choice etc
I don't know what alternate timeline they are reporting this from....maybe the Nelson Mandela 2 alternate timelines but I remember when this story first broke out and the newspaper business was still strong not almost completely taken over by the internet and I am spotting serious discrepancies with the timeline...and it is not Megan Kelly's doing...she is not responsible. But there are others who is and maybe are they using the alternate clockwise and counter clockwise timelines to try and get him off with those charges that are still pending.
So when do these ppl get held accountable ?
