Interview "The Vow" - NXIVM

"What do an heiress, an actress and the Dalai Lama have in common? A charismatic, but problematic, self-proclaimed self-help guru named Keith Raniere. As the founder of NXIVM, a marketing organization focused chiefly on self-help seminars, he was arrested for sexual abuse, and his organization was designated a cult. A new HBO docuseries, “The Vow,” examines the rise and fall of NXIVM. Directors Jehane Noujaim and Karim Amer join us to discuss"

Launching New Programs & Website

 

Dear F.A.C.T. Supporter, Over the past year F.A.C.T. has been helping survivors of the NXIVM trafficking and cult ring as well as survivors of Jeffrey Epstein to directly receive professional counseling. These predatory groups wreak havoc on individuals lives and we understand how important it is to receive therapy after surviving such exploitation and trauma.. Which is why we are launching our New Website and Programs, focused primarily on recovery through practical, affordable therapy options for victims. Our approach is threefold:

Empower: By offering a wide range of programs, we help the powerless to become empowered. No longer will they be the victim of a crazy sociopath or narcissist! Most victims can not afford professional therapy which runs upwards of $200 per hour. This is why we are introducing Bibliotherapy as part of our new programs. The Goals of Bibliotherapy are to help individuals express feelings and gain insight. It is a practical way to realize what has happened to a victim. By reading other stories that are similar to their own, the reader begins to realize they're not alone. This usually helps a person to understand their victimization depending on the severity of trauma. Bibliotherapy can help in healing traumas, suicide prevention and so much more.

Educate: Only through learning how these people coerce, deceive, and control others will you become a shield of armor for yourself and others to their deceptive tactics. Knowing the red flags ahead of time can keep you and your loved ones out of the emotional and sometimes deadly grip of the narcissist. Prevention: By empowering those who have been stung by a sociopathic person or group, and educating them as well as others, can we prevent them from placing the leash on themselves and others. Bibliotherapy is also great for non-victims. By reading and seeing other peoples stories, we become aware of possible problems with certain groups, churches, or even individuals (think Bill Cosby). Prevention is a top priority. We want to educate the world on these abusive tactics, lies and manipulation these personalities use to take over and control people so that it never happens to another single soul!

Art therapy is also used in this threefold process, especially for younger kids. Your donations help us provide these materials to people who need them now. Check out the New site here!

"You can do something big or you can do something small. Because whatever you do is Better than nothing at all" We have a long list of survivors who are asking for our help. Please help us, help them. We can not continue our work and implement these much needed New Programs without your valuable help and donations.

Sincerely, The F.A.C.T., Inc. Team F.A.C.T. Inc

The Dangerous Duo

The Dangerous Duo

Disclaimer: F.A.C.T. is not responsible in any way for the information provided to us by victims or witnesses of the following alleged abuse.

This evil duo is destroying innocent, vulnerable children and young, female students through the controversial, grotesque, sad and suffering in nature, destructive dance of Butoh.

            Ryuji Oka aka Rizome Lee 

Allegations have surfaced and were filed against Lee

for pedophilia with 3 girls ages 5-15 years old. 

We will notify all related authorities worldwide to stop these dangerous psychopaths from further harming, abusing and exploiting innocent children and vulnerable, young female students.

"My name is [male, name protected].  I am from Canada.  I was a witness to the September 20, 2019 pedophilia confession of "Rhizome Lee" while participating as a student within programming of Subbody Butoh School in India.  After this confession, I understood that "Rhizome Lee" had a history of victimizing children. 

I give permission for Tibor to use this information."

____________________

"...We recently heard the confession of our mentor/ teacher (Ryuji Oka, a Japanese national living here on a tourist via, also known as Rizome Lee) that he had sexually abused three underage girls over the last 15 years.  Since we heard this statement, we contacted a psychologist who connected us to your organization. 

We are concerned about future victims and there are currently 2 children who live with the family that works for him at the Subbody Resonance Butoh dance studio in Jogiwara, Dharamsala, Kangra. 

In late August 2019, [male, name protected], [female, name protected], and a group of former students first heard the information from [female, name protected] (another guide) at a retreat in Serbia. She told us that Oka had had a history of sexually abusing underage girls."

____________________

This letter is a written confirmation that I was a witness to the confession of Ryuki Oka also known as Rhizome Lee, made on September 20, 2019 at the Himalaya Subbody Butoh School in Dharamsala, India.  In his confession Oka expressed that he had received sexual pleasure from touching three (3) young girls ages 5 to 15 years.

I give you permission to use this letter.

Hi, My name is [name protected] (people know me as [name protected]) from South Korea.   

I visited Lee about a week after he confessed in class.  One friend of mine and I went to his office to confirm what he did to the children of one family who were working in school and the children from neighborhood.  He confessed he took one girl after another coz for him it felt like real love.  He said he started getting close to them by playing some role play and so on and after he said he even asked them to be his girlfriend.  He said after one rejected him he needed to find another victim.

Katsura Kan

Katsura Kan was found guilty a Florida

court for the wrongful death of his student

Sharon Stern.

Link to documents in wrongful death suit

Katsura Kan admitted to having sex with 160 of his female students. Complaints came in from one

of his female students who was allegedly drugged and raped by him. 

It is hard to believe that Naropa University in Boulder Colorado would employ this kind of evil teacher

to lecture in the classroom in the subjects of philosophy and psychology, thereby putting their aspiring

and ambitious students at risk. 

Katsura Kan was a frequent guest teacher of Lee's school, the Himalaya SubBody Butoh School. When

the student complained about Lee's pedophilia, he ignored the warnings and continued his engagement 

with the school and Lee. 

 

Tibor Stern approached Naropa University/ Shambala with regard to correcting the (in our opinion) troubling relationships between teachers and students in order to stop what we believe is the continued sexual exploitation of students by faculty.  Such exploitation has been occurring since the inception of Naropa/ Shambala and has been well-documented throughout the history of the school.  Naropa's response was that 'we have heard enough from Tibor Stern'.

Please share this post.  By sharing this post worldwide, we believe that you will help us in the fight against injustice and abuses and protect innocent human beings from harm.

We will keep you updated.
