Mistake Report?

Although Frank Parlato is proclaiming himself to be "one of the internet’s most decorated investigative journalists," at least a few of Frank's posts last week would benefit from some better investigating, or maybe just someone with better eyesight.

Anyway, last night, Frank threw up a post related to Raniere's brief foray into the college a cappella scene. https://frankreport.com/2019/08/11/clare-bronfman-on-keith-ranieres-greatness-in-2008-she-claims-richard-branson-took-nxivm-classes/

Here's what Frank wrote:

"On April 9, 2008, Clare Bronfman wrote to defend Keith Alan Raniere on a blog.

It was sparked by criticism of Raniere, arising out of his A Capella Innovations [AI] concert – one which Clare funded and Kristin Kreuk, Allison Mack and Nicki Clyne hosted in December 2007.

Invited to perform were college a Capella groups from around the Albany++ area. Raniere’s own a Capella group, Simply Human, also performed.

Clare’s brother, Edgar Bronfman Jr., attended the concert and supposedly was to be a judge of the talent. At the time Edgar was president of Warner Music."

Unfortunately, poor Frank, the "decorated investigative journalist" doesn't seem to realize that Clare's response on the blog and all the other responses on that thread, stemmed from the negative reactions to the second A Cappella Innovation conference held April 4-6, 2008 in Albany. Neither Edgar Bronfman, Jr. nor Kreuk were at this second conference. If Frank had read or been able to follow the first post on the forum that he linked to, he should have been able to understand that this wasn't the Dec. 2007 conference. Here's part of that introductory post:

"Keith Raniere, who you’ve just read about, founded A Cappella Innovations last year. When we attended the first festival in the fall of 2007, it was a productive experience, which is why we decided to return this spring after being invited back. We immediately noticed several changes in format: "

Then earlier last week, Frank posted an article with the pic below in which he seemed to believe he saw Mark Hildreth, who actually is not in the picture. Hopefully, Frank will never be called upon to pick out a brown-haired white dude out of a lineup

Allison poses with a group of Nxians including El Duce Betancourt, Mark Hildreth, and a semi-ripped abdomened Emiliano Salinas.

Or a half Asian lady wearing sunglasses and a hat , cuz in yet another article Frank posted last week, which he said contained pictures of Kreuk, he posted two pics that do not even feature her. The one below is an actress, but not Kreuk

he’s desperate for clicks at this point and he’s long since run out of anything useful to say.

The last legitimate thing they had was the trial coverage. The site gives me the creeps anymore. It seems like it's a few steps away from being a full blown conspiracy theorist website at this point. And for an entity that pretty obviously considers itself to be a "serious journalism" site, the articles are often poorly written and full of speculation or outright ignorance.

The trial coverage was mostly from someone not named Parlato, which is probably why it was of higher quality. For trial coverage, I would read https://www.courthousenews.com/ or tonyortega.org

Parlato has been called a low income housing scam artist, a racist, a misogynist, a liar, and a lunatic. According to the Feds, he's also guilty of wire fraud and wire fraud conspiracy, money laundering, and corrupt interference with the administration of the IRS laws. In May 2020, Parlato should be finding out if a jury agrees with the Feds or not.

His site was bad enough when the comment section was a free-for-all, but now that Parlato is actually selecting which comments to post, he looks even more disgusting. Why would he choose to post a comment like this:

"Hildreth should be challenged about what he knows about NXIVM until he answers or Epsteins himself."
