1/ #NXIVM Trial Day 6 #USAvsRaniere continues with direct examination of Mark Vicente, Filmmaker, writer (What the Bleep Do we Know)… When I arrive, Vicente is already testifying , identifying multiple explicit (pixelated) nude (collateral) photos of Slaves from the #NXIVM cult.

2/#NXIVM These spread legged pixelated photos in various poses, with faces in background, and many others were held as collateral in encrypted Drop Box held by Allison Mack. More details here: nypost.com/2019/05/15/thi…

3/ I missed about an hour of testimony prior to this, but was filled in on much of it by Dianne Lipson of FrankReport- Below is her take on today's #NXIVM testimony

4/ FYI, anyone wanting a copy of the #NXIVM court testimony, you can email the court reporter (for this week, they alternate) your request : [e-mail] Please be advised that the cost is $1.20/page and they are running about 250 pages/daily ☹

5/At some point, Vicente heard rumors of a womens secret society among #NXIVM’s JNess Members and he asked “Sarah” (Edmonson) about it. She initially denied it, saying if something like that existed, then it would be a secret. When he pushed further..”The walls came down”.

6//#NXIVM Sarah admitted to all of it. Additionally at some point there was an incident at Coach Summit in 2017, Sarahs husband found out about the Master/Slave program and confronted Lauren Salzman and Jim DelNegro. More on Del Negro here:

7/ May 2017: Vicente contacted law enforcement re: crimes at #NXIVM – HE had to go through a friend in an effort to find a trusted person within the FBI, that friend set him up with a Special agent to begin the process.. Vicente states he was fearful 4 his life & of being set up.

8/#NXIVM Vicente Resigned in June or July 2017. The questioning then goes back in time to an audio CD from 2012, partially played in court.. IT was an early SOP(Society of Protectors) “High Council Meeting” in which leadership was discussed...

9/ #NXIVM Raniere: “the more powerful we get the more people will not want to defect”. He brings up idea of lifetime commitment, collateral.
Only "lifetime commited" people could know certain things (What things?!)
Skull and Bones☠️ is mentioned , & they have this"built in".

10/ #NXIVM Raniere says that for beginners "strong collateral" is important to build/guarantee commitment and strength... He brings up Lucifer and Miltons poem, Paradise Lost, and the idea of "Tribute", that it acknowledges debt and discharges it at same time...

11/ #NXIVM
Transcript between Raniere (V) and Vicente are revealed in which a Movie idea is discussed:"The Good, the Bad, and the Mentor"- The idea circles around a good guy in a company looking to root out a bad guy or psychopath. The good guy enlists a "mentor" to help..

12/ The punchline or joke of the movie, is that at the end, the psychopath IS revealed as the Mentor... Vicente felt that this was Raniere's sick practical joke on him... That Raniere was the psychopath, mentoring him when Vicente thought Allison Mack was the problem at #NXIVM..

13/ The defense cross examination was next...When it wasnt boring, it was more ammo for the prosecution! He asks Vicente if he was afraid for his family and his wife (YES), and if he is in negotiation for a film and has he made money off #NXIVM story (NO)

14/ There IS a movie coming - it evolved over time. Vicente did not approach filmmakers about #NXIVM movie but to let them know it was not what he thought it was, eventually (recently) the movie idea came to fruition- HBO is involved now.

15/ After leaving #NXIVM Vicente states he was in fear of his life, and went to Vermont filming himself as a way of protecting himself. "I believed that I was going to go to prison because they were going to frame me for something". He was not trying to make a movie at that time.

16/ Recently 30-40 hrs of filming has taken place for the #NXIVM movie- shooting locations included his home and Catherine Oxenbergs home... He denies having a primary role in the films production however.

17/ The defense continued to question, dug into Vicentes finances and time at #NXIVM (12 years) attempting to pain picture that Vicente was not suffering or held against his will, and was inspired by NXIVM's good missions. Including the #RainbowCulturalGarden and #FIJI..

18/ #RainbowCulturalGarden was program in which kids were trained in different languages each day of the week: German, Thai, Japanese, OSA , Arabic, Hindi, Russian..
#NXIVM
Defense:"The idea was that these kids would appreciate the cultures, yes?"
Vicente:"Thats what I was told"

19/ #NXIVM #FIJI
We Learned (while Defense was trying to pain life of luxury for Vicente): #ClareBronfman #AlexanderBetancourt and #KeithRaniere purchased MULTIPLE properties on #Fiji, including a HOUSE and HOTEL... Under the name of ACK (Alex, Clare, Keith)!
#Qanon anyone?

20/ #NXIVM
Questioning continues... More (unflattering) audio of Raniere is played, speaking about commitment& power- Vicente said Raniere's belief was that by amassing more people with commitment they would gain power to influence elections, and countries?!. To be continued!...

21/ add-on: Heres a very thorough accounting of yesterdays #NXIVM testimony and I agree with the assessment as well of what defense is trying to do. frankreport.com/2019/05/16/cro…

22/ However, I am becoming more suspicious that Mr Raniere will be meant to go down so that public consciousness can say its done. A necessary "sacrifice" 4 world cult ops to continue with business as usual.
I hope they dont get away with it. #NXIVM
