The crazy right that frequents 4Chan is desperately trying to link NXIVM to Democrats.

Ironically, we know that Roger Stone, Former NY State Senate Majority Leader Joe Bruno (R) and former Surgeon General Antonio Novello all were affiliated with either NXIVM or its self-improvement training MLM Executive Success Program (ESP).

The Frank Report that I link to above is run by Frank Parlato, who had worked for NXIVM doing PR but was fired or left, and subsequently was targeted with a lawsuit supposedly funded by Clare Bronfman. He is credited with developing many of the fact that are leading to NXIVM’s downfall.

He also is a right-winger who runs another alt-right blog called ArtVoice.

Parlato is milking the recent NXIVM “crisis” for all its worth, and much of the stuff he posts is either his own speculation or wishful thinking. But there is decent information interspersed if you read with a very large grain of salt, and many NXIVM defectors post comments or provide information to Parlato.

The comments to the articles are fun to read and often bizarre. Many alt-right dumbfucks participate.
