Raniere does not approve of DOS’ practices - and DOS has nothing to do with his teaching organizations, ESP, J’ness, or the Society of Protectors. Miss Mack and other members devised and created the group without consulting with Mr. Miss Mack and some women of DOS kept the practices secret from Mr. Raniere was unaware of DOS until it became public. She is solely responsible for DOS and its practices. Just as Nancy Salzman was intended to take the blame if ESP ran into legal trouble, Allison Mack was intended to take the blame for DOS, at least inside the Raniere-verse. And Meier (or his editors) agree that there is insufficient evidence to name Allison Mack as a central figure. My conclusion is that Sarah and the others told Meier that they believe that Allison Mack is a victim of DOS rather than a perpetrator, and so should not be publicly shamed. And surely Meier read enough of Frank Report to know to ask the question. Given the quotes from former insiders Sarah Edmondson, Anthony Ames, Mark Vicente, and Soukaina Mehdaoui in the NY Times article, there was ample opportunity for reporter Barry Meier to learn from them if they thought Allison Mack was a key figure if not the female leader of DOS. The narrative in Frank Report has been consistently that Allison Mack was the female founder of DOS, and that the brand “KR-AM” stands for Keith Raniere and Allison Mack. The only women named as perpetrators of DOS are Dr. ![]() Frank Report readers are likely puzzled that there was no mention of Allison Mack in the NY Times article. ![]()

This was a complete performance by a Kansas City team headed to its fifth-straight AFC title game. Jacksonville engineered one last field-goal drive following the turnover, but the onside attempt was unsuccessful. Jaylon Watson's interception of Lawrence with less than four minutes remaining effectively ended the game. The defense limited Trevor Lawrence to a modest 24-of-39, 217-yard, one-touchdown, one-interception performance. Pacheco rushed for 95 yards and 7.9 yards per carry.

Things were much less competitive in the nightcap, as the Philadelphia Eagles blew out the rival New York Giants 38-7. Thanks to some big plays from the Kansas City defense and a strong assist from backup Chad Henne, though, the Chiefs advanced. While he did return in the second half, his mobility was limited. The Chiefs were forced to play much of the first half without star quarterback Patrick Mahomes because of an ankle injury. However, the Jags made things uncomfortable for the top seed in the AFC. The Kansas Chiefs outlasted the Jacksonville Jaguars, which is what many might have expected. The NFL's divisional round got off to a rather interesting start on Saturday.

I have probably tested and/or broken at least one or two of every budget (and mid-priced) brand of DSLR tripod that is commonly recommended. Personally, I have been testing tripods (and, I’ll be honest, often breaking them) for about 15 years now.

His decisions, LaFeber said, prompted many young, disillusioned American liberals to feel that Wilson did not make the world safer for democracy.Īnd again, LaFeber's lecture closed to a standing ovation. That changed after 1913, he said, with Woodrow Wilson, who had to shift his focus from reforms at home to dealing with the Mexican, Chinese and Russian revolutions and World War I. "He would come in and sit down at a desk, and no matter how you were feeling, you were captivated."Īnd LaFeber, who has served under the administrations of half of Cornell's presidents, continued that tradition with his lecture (not really his last, he says) on the foreign policy of Woodrow Wilson, the power of Cornell alumni and his own gratitude to friends, colleagues and students.Ĭommenting on what's behind current foreign policy and the expansion of democracy, LaFeber noted that in America's early days, when "intellectuals and politicians were the same people," those in power, including Thomas Jefferson and John Quincy Adams, deeply understood the nature of democracy and weren't so sure about how well democracy could travel.

But such was the overwhelming demand for tickets from former students and friends, that the lecture was shifted to the theater.
