Okay, I am losing faith quickly and am not ready to believe these allegations are completely true or completely false, but I do feel the need to be a bit of a devil's advocate and share this 03/15/16 article written by a reporter named Frank Parlato (niagarafallsreporter.com) about the Dalai Lama's visit and Keith Raniere. It provides some valuable information. The reporter, Frank Parlato, has his own history, but I have enough to write about the Dalai Lama incident. Parlato, however, certainly appears to have credibility as a reporter.

Frank Parlato writes: During my tenure as a press consultant for purported cult leader, Keith Raniere, and his benefactors, Clare and Sara Bronfman (heiresses of the Seagram's liquor fortune), I was tasked with improving Raniere's public image and that of his company, NXIVM.

It was 2007 and at the time the press did not know Raniere had blown over $100 million of Bronfman sisters' inheritance on bogus commodities investments, a crooked real estate deal, and paying lawyers to sue his enemies; nor did they know Raniere slept all day and night and had a harem of female devotees who gave their hearts, minds, and undressed bodies to him. These things few knew - including myself - or that the cult was raking in millions - seemingly much of it off the books.

During my tenure, things went well. Albany's weekly newspaper Metroland published a favorable blurb on Raniere - for the first time; The Times Union wrote a story about NXIVM without using the word "cult" - for the first time in memory. I wrote press releases and announcements which were published and broadcasted, and I arranged interviews for NXIVM people to humanize and demystify them.

Raniere wanted a high powered religious person to help improve his image. The Pope was out of the question. Rev. Billy Graham was not likely to make a public endorsement of Raniere - no matter how much the Bronfman sisters were willing to spend.

One day, I got an enthusiastic call from one of Raniere's inner circle. "What would you say if we got the Dalai Lama to come to Albany and announce that Keith's teachings are the solution to the world's problems?" she asked. "Sara and Clare are ready to donate a million to the Dalai Lama. One of the Dalai Lama's assistants, a monk, is here in Albany and Sara is showing him everything. If the Dalai Lama, one of the spiritual leaders of the world, comes to Albany and endorses Keith, the press will not say we are a cult; we are cutting edge."

I was never again asked for help with the media and soon afterward was fired after I discovered and revealed facts about how the Bronfmans lost $100 million at Raniere's hands.

The Dalai Lama had met Pope Paul VI, Pope John Paul II, the Chief Rabbi of Israel, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Robert Runcie, and Gordon B. Hinckley, president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Now he was to meet Keith Raniere, the founder of NXIVM.

The Bronfman sisters worked for more than a year organizing the upcoming visit. Sara, in particular, worked hand in hand with the Venerable Lama Tenzin Dhonden, a special emissary of His Holiness The Dalai Lama. Tenzin then visited Sara in Albany and met NXIVM members. Despite reading allegations that NXIVM was a cult, Tenzin said, "I have my own intellectual resource, capacity, to know persons, to feel persons. I can pick up like that, very easily."

Thanks to Lama Tenzin, Sara and Clare Bronfman and Nancy Salzman, president of NXIVM, were granted an audience with the Dalai Lama in India. There they expressed their desire to invite His Holiness to Albany to meet Raniere, and of course they offered to make a suitable Bronfman-style contribution to the Dalai Lama and his worthwhile causes, and the Dalai Lama agreed.

In the sex charged society of the love cult of Raniere, it wasn't long before the Venerable Lama Tenzin Dhonden was transformed by Raniere's ethical tools. From celibate monk to a hot tub with Sara Bronfman, the Venerable Lama Tenzin was inches away from a torrid affair and the breaking of his vow. And helping him dispense with the second vow - that of poverty - Sara Bronfman purchased a beautiful home for her lover Lama in Half Moon, a suburb of Albany.

Sister Clare announced to the media that the Dalai Lama was to appear in Albany for a four day session of talks and meetings, capped by an appearance on Sunday April 19, 2009, at the Albany Times Union Center, where His Holiness would give a public address on compassion and ethics - a lecture sponsored by Clare, Sara, and Raniere's organization, The World Ethical Foundations Consortium.

There was an outburst of shock recorded in the Albany press that the Dalai Lama would associate himself with the "cult-like" NXIVM. The Dalai Lama, frequently an honored speaker at prestigious universities across the United States was, it was noted, not being officially hosted by any school in the Albany area.

The Albany Times-Union reported that despite the stature of the religious leader, no school was willing to lend its nbame as an official host for an event associated with Raniere. Skidmore College and Raniere's alma mater, Rensselaer Polytechnic, declined to host the event.

The University of Albany agreed to rent out an arena but with the strict precondition "that by no means were we going to allow NXIVM to be part of our relationship with the Dalai Lama. NXIVM and the organization were not going to have any part with dealing with our students or advertising or recruiting," according to U Albany's vice president for development. F

Stories in the Times Union, the Albany Student Press, The Daily Gazette, and Metroland expressed people's astonishment at the coupling of the Dalai Lama with the Bronfman Raniere cult.

With the spate of negative publicity, the Dalai Lama canceled his appearance. Times Union Publisher George Hearst, who spoke with a representative of the Dalai Lama said, "there's enough stuff out there that (they) don't need to expose His Holiness to this kind of risk."

This was a PR nightmare for NXIVM. If the Dalai Lama did not appear, he was all but saying NXIVM was a cult. Raniere instructed his top assistant, Nancy Salzman, to rush to India to see the Dalai Lama and bring Sara and Clare, and of course, their checkbook.

They were persuasive.

While the Dalai Lama would not consent to a four day Albany tour, he did agree to deliver a single lecture - in Albany - one night, a 24 hour visit. He was coming to the US anyway for an official Harvard University sponsored engagement.

The press that jubilantly announced the cancellation, now announced the rescheduling, noting that the Dalai Lama event moved from the 17,500 seat Albany Times-Union Center to the much smaller 2,800 seat Albany Palace Theater. Tickets dropped to $55 to $85 per person which meant a gross of less than $250,000. Critics took shots at the Dalai Lama. It was widely assumed that Bronfman money changed his mind.

On May 6, the Dalai Lama arrived to speak at Albany Palace's Theatre to a near capacity crowd of about 2,600. Sara and Clare were seated onstage with him.

At the beginning of his talk, the Dalai Lama presented Sara and Clare with white silk scarves called "kataks," which according to Tibetan culture, symbolize purity.

When the time came for questions, the Dalai Lama was asked about his canceled then rescheduled visit. "Firstly, I received an invitation that in principle, I accepted," the Dalai Lama said, "Because this is controversial, some allegations, then we carry further investigations. Then, finally, this organization's teacher (Salzman) and some friend(s) (Bronfman sisters) came to see me in Dharmasala, and I discussed, I observed, basically they are carrying some kind of movement about ethics...When I met them personally in Dharmasala, I told them very friendly, very openly, 'as far your sort of work for promotion of ethics I fully support...but at the same time...if you have done something wrong, you must accept, you must admit, change, make correction. If you have not done (anything wrong), make clear all these allegations (are untrue), truthfully, honestly, openly, transparently." He also asked the press to investigate - everything - to have the long nose of the elephant - and smell the truth from the front and behind.

At the event's conclusion, the Dalai Lama called Raniere - who was in the audience - on stage and placed a katak around his neck.

After the Dalai Lama's visit, the honor that Raniere and the Bronfmans sought after the endorsement eluded them. Following my dismissal and subsequent attack by Raniere (with Bronfman millions) - their negative publicity increased.

The exposure of the real estate and commodities loss totalling $100 million dwarfed a sole lecture by the Dalai Lama. And the onslaught of negative publicity have rightly rained down on them ever since.

Bronfman connection is interesting, as 'anti-semitic' 'conspiracy theory' long held the late Edgar Bronfman to be head of the conspiracy.

Here the Jerusalem Post lauds him as 'King of the Jews". "He is best known, of course, for building the Seagram liquor empire and for beating up the Swiss banks on behalf of heirs of Holocaust victims."

"His most complex and powerful rabbinic relationship was with Israel Singer, who served as secretary-general of the World Jewish Congress during its heyday. Singer is a talented and passionate teacher of Jewish text as it relates to issues of everyday and global justice, and Edgar was an eager student and partner. Together, along with Elan Steinberg, who died last year, they played into the myths of “Elders of Zion” while at the same time fighting anti-Semitism. It was a well orchestrated leverage play that only Bronfman, because of his wealth, power, and grace, could project. As much as Edgar took on the financial burden of carrying the WJC, the King of the Jews developed one of the most effective direct mail campaigns, bringing in millions of dollars to essentially crowd-fund the campaigns against former UN secretary-general Kurt Waldheim and for Soviet Jewry."

But never fear, goy reader: "Edgar was an optimist who believed Jewish power could be extended for the good not only of the Jews, but also of humanity."

This is very interesting and somehow not surprising. Gotta question the guy when he joins with hollywood and his famed sidekick, Gere. And all the nonsense about save Tibet. More money for the coffers. Tibet will never be saved.

Another Tibetan lie was Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche (dead), who was a drunk, womanizer and apparent cocaine addict, and his sidekick, Osel Tendzin (dead), who knowingly gave students the wonderful aids virus. In fact, I was listened to a tape of Trungpa and Tendzin a number of years back and it was disgusting, both were loaded beyond belief. I dropped the Buddhist thing right away, thankfully.

His personal tutor was a Nazi (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinrich_Harrer), he is a CIA asset (CIA wanted to expel China from Tibet), he visited the painter Balthus, who created pedophile art, at his home in Switzerland, and the Tibetan Buddhism has a dark left hand path, comparable to Satanic sex magick.

Go figure....

Sara Bronfman'a brother Edgar Bronfman Jnr has appeared on Voat before, net worth, $2.3 bil. Previous CEO of Warner Music Group.

Sara and Edgar's grandfather, founder of Seagram's Liquor, was once Canada's richest man. Edgar's son, Benjamin Brewer idiot hipster trust fund kid who 'dabbles' (lol) in music, has a young child with controversial/popular/influential British/Sri Lankan singer, MIA...(go get those billions, MIA, while you preach about poverty and corruption!)

MIA was the one who gave the one finger salute during the superbowl few years back when she was performing with Madonna. Important to know all these kinds of connections.

Anyway. Dalai Lama. TOTAL FAMEWHORE AND PERVERTED CREEPO. Fascinated by celebrity culture and loves the fact these dumbass movie stars fawn over him. Like that creepster 60s Indian Guru the Beatles used to follow. Greedily accepts hotel upgrades, first class flights, untold freebies etc.

Wait for the tabloid newspapers to bring this gross fcker down next!

Awesome.

Let's get this news out and dig more.

As a devout student of the most-likely-ficional Gotama Buddha, I would like to take this fine opportunity to say: Fuck the Dalai Lama, and fuck Tibet.
