  • NXIVM Sex Cult!

    NXIVM Sex Cult!

    Cold Open: The NXIVM Sex Cult! Founded by Keith “Creepy Ass Super Punchable Face” Raniere [ruh near ee] in 1998 - at its height, this NXIVM had NOTHING to do with acid reflux medication and counted thousands of members, including celebrities, heirs and heiresses who all paid thousands, and sometimes MILLIONS of dollars to attend a never-ending series of classes at various NVIXM training centers. Lying at the intersection of a multi-level marketing scheme, a self-help group, and occasionally a summer camp, NXIVM was a true cult. For a few die hards… it kind of still is. People started publicly worrying about how dangerous this cult might be all the way back in 2003. But it wouldn’t be until 2017, when the New York Times published an article about one of its former members being literally BRANDED like cattle as a part of an initiation into a secret sex cult within NXIVM, that the group’s true and terrible practices would be brought into the light and exposed. We’ll meet some people - seemingly ordinary people - that so desperately wanted someone to lead them to enlightenment that they allowed themselves to be slowly manipulated into paying to participate in weirder and weirder “exercises” until they finally agreed to be actual slaves. And part of, basically, a harem. We’ll meet Keith Raniere [ruh near ee], the devious and perverted mastermind at the center of all of this, who used his experience at Amway - a Michigan-based multi-level marketing company - and then borrowed a lot from Scientology, to make people think that he was some kind of once-in-a-lifetime guru spiritual Jedi who had the answer to all of your - and all of the WORLD’S - problems.
  • Frontline Hospital Planning Guide for Special Pathogens

    Frontline Hospital Planning Guide for Special Pathogens

    FRONTLINE HOSPITAL PLANNING GUIDE: SPECIAL PATHOGENS JUNE 2019 EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT Background: NYC Health + Hospitals is the largest municipal healthcare delivery system in the United States, providing essential inpatient, outpatient, and home-based services to more than one million New Yorkers every year in more than 70 locations across the city’s five boroughs. With our unique experiences in responding to emerging, re-emerging, and high consequence infectious disease incidents, including safely and successfully treating NYC’s single, confirmed case of Ebola virus disease and numerous persons under investigation, we understand first-hand the myriad impacts infectious disease threats and special pathogens events have on healthcare delivery. With the increasing demand for preparedness for and responses to the world’s emerging public health threats, this planning guide breaks new ground and leads the way as a distinctive domestic resource for healthcare delivery systems to customize their plans specific to their unique clinical, operational, and financial needs. Purpose and Audience: All hospitals must be prepared to identify and isolate a patient presenting with a suspected special pathogen infection (i.e., one that is particularly virulent and requires care processes and personal protective equipment beyond daily infection control practices) and inform internal and external stakeholders. This document provides high level planning guidance for a frontline hospital multidisciplinary team (e.g., emergency management, infection prevention and control, emergency department, inpatient care, safety, public relations, and infectious disease, depending on the resources and role of the facility in the community) to support planning and training for the provision of initial care to such patients while determining whether and when the patient will be transferred to another facility for further assessment and treatment.
