Missing Person Kristin Snyder: Lost in a Sea of Myths Pt 2

The next part in our forensic postmortem of the mockumentary The Lost Women of NXIVM will consist of dissecting the major proponents surrounding the Kristin Snyder piece beginning with the obvious, Frank Parlato Jr-"a former NXIVM publicist turned investigative journalist who will lead "viewers through a two-hour investigation that questions if there is more to this sadistic story."
Due to a long history of corruption (accused, proven and pending) on Frank Parlato Jr, we are only including a scant bit solely for the purpose of illustrating exactly what kind of character Parlato is, everything else will be tied to Parlato's wild inane theories of Kristin Snyder/her disappearance and those in the mockumentary who chose to co-sign with Parlato in Lost Women.

Frank Parlato Jr the business man:

The marriage between developer Frank Parlato Jr. and several prominent inner-city housing activists is off.
The activists are divorcing themselves from Parlato and his Neighbors Inc. over what they say is his method of operation. They contend Parlato is disorganized, doesn't consult with others in the group before acting, is preoccupied with garnering publicity and has made some questionable business decisions...Meldrum said that too often, Parlato did what it took to generate favorable publicity without tending to the details or consulting with others in the group. Meldrum said he became increasingly concerned about the direction Parlato was taking Neighbors. Parlato's willingness to work with notorious landlords to repair and sell properties was especially troubling, Meldrum said.

These very same questionable tactics are what brought Parlato to work for Keith Raniere AND later be fired by Raniere.

In 1997 Greg Olma joined forces with Buffalo City Councilman David Franczyk to investigate Frank Parlato, Jr. and the various corporations set up by Mr. Parlato.

Federal officials are cracking down on one of Buffalo's biggest housing developers by taking away their lifeblood -- government-insured mortgages.
The government, in a letter dated Friday, announced an immediate, one-year ban against the Parlato family as part of its ongoing campaign against waste, fraud and abuse.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development also left the door open to more serious sanctions against the Parlatos. They include monetary penalties and a lifetime ban on using federally-insured loans to help low-income home buyers.
Two local lawmakers have accused the Parlatos of running a housing scam that hurts poor people, takes advantage of the government and adds to neighborhood blight...Twice over the past five years, a Parlato family member was voluntarily suspended from government business, according to federal records. The Parlatos agreed to the voluntary suspensions after HUD recommended even stronger penalties. In both cases, HUD pushed for a three-year "debarment" of the Parlatos.

The land near the American Falls and Seneca Niagara Casino should be among the region's most valuable, but it sure doesn't look that way to people catching their first glimpse...There's a run-down shopping mall with only two active businesses. Water drips from its skylights. A shabby covered walkway attached to the mall features graffiti, broken windows and escalators that don't work...city leaders are bent on improving the city's business climate, particularly downtown, but to succeed, they'll be forced to deal with several property owners who have had little success completing projects in the Falls...*Frank R. Parlato Jr., a former Buffalo housing developer who manages a nine-story building outside Niagara Falls State Park and at one point was heating the place with cooking oil.

Frank Parlato, publisher of the Niagara Falls Reporter, went on a full frontal attack against the Seneca Niagara in what could only be characterized as a racist rant. Never mind that the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988 specifically addressed the need and ability of Native nations to build casinos for economic development to help tribes dig out from the crush of decades of abject poverty.

One Niagara is possibly the most valuable piece of real estate in the City of Niagara Falls. It was once owned by Niagara Falls Reporter’s publisher and low-income housing scam artist Frank Parlato.Parlato utilized this property as a parking lot and a trashy bazaar. No wonder he fell behind on his property taxes, at times owing the City, County and School District around One Million Dollars. Under Parlato’s ownership, the building was condemned multiple times too. It is even rumored that Parlato was living in the building.

Today LaurelCanyoner described Parlato as "shaaady" and "a scary regressive idiot who can't put a sentence together." Back in 2012, Alan Bedenko (aka Buffalopundit) a lawyer who blogs about western NY, called Parlato a "lunatic" and "a sick and twistedly virulent homophobe." Last month Phil Fairbanks in a Buffalo News article asked if Frank Parlato was a crusading reporter or a fraudster. Over the years, he has been called a low income housing scam artist, and a racist, a misogynist, and a liar, while the US Govt. believes he's a criminal.

Whether Frank Parlato is a criminal will be decided in a few months when Parlato will be tried on 18 counts of wire fraud and wire fraud conspiracy, money laundering, and corrupt interference with the administration of the IRS. Of course Parlato claims he is innocent and this is a "fake indictment," but it's not as if this is the only time Parlato or his family have run afoul of the law or his practices have been called into question.

 Like the old indictment, the new one still charges Parlato with wire fraud and alleges that he orchestrated a scheme that involved shell companies and bank accounts. Prosecutors also say Parlato cheated the Internal Revenue Service and are demanding he forfeit $4 million. The charges against Parlato are the result of a five-year FBI investigation into his business dealings in Niagara Falls and his ownership of One Niagara, the downtown office and retail center that many still remember as the Occidental Chemical building.

For reasons unknown, when Frank Parlato was working for Keith Raniere/NXIVM, Frank was using the alias Phil Robertson, this is corroborated in a 2009 deposition of Nancy Salzman-NXIVM President. While working for Keith Raniere, when Frank/Phil was asked about former charges laid by the attorney general, Frank/Phil stated:

he suspected the whole investigation was a conspiracy engineered by Wal-Mart, which felt threatened by Consumer Buyline’s low discount prices. “It’s just a brilliant idea to save people money, and I think the pinch was felt in Arkansas, and Wal-Mart felt the pinch, and they said, ‘Let’s collapse this guy.’ ”

Frank Parlato clearly has a penchant for lying regardless of what side he is on.
 
If you follow the links provided in our quotes, the original articles cited go to paint a broad picture of Frank Parlato the businessman shyster. We also feel it is equally important to paint a picture of Frank Parlato the man. This is particularly important because the Kristin Snyder of the Lost Women of NXIVM was created by and through the warped, distorted, misogynistic and homophobic lens of Frank Parlato the man. And being a man, or rather a particular type of man is VERY important to Frank Parlato, as can still be seen from a blog of his:

What is a man ?

 Shopenhauer on women: while it somewhat appears to restrict the fundamental freedom of women, and in some instances is demeaning, this essay is a solid corrective for the cowardly man who tends to "pedestalize" women.

While it is true that women should be honored, and loved- they should not be obeyed or worshiped as "sex-goddesses."

This essay will help cure the peverse mind and help a man understand that it is his duty not to be weak.

Any white person, younger than 30, has lived, since the day he was born, in an America where it is legal to discriminate against white people...Men sometimes have to fight. But they are encouraged to be passive: Not only by government discrimination, but by the media’s sick culture. How contemptuously men are portrayed on TV and movies. Turn on a TV for 30 minutes and see how men are portrayed as ignorant, stupid and lazy...Women are portrayed as superior in relationships. Male characters are portrayed as henpecked. (Yet the Christian Bible — which many wish their children to follow — clearly exhorts men to lead their wives, not vice versa.)

It’s funny how those who are hypersensitive about sexism (against women) are sexist (against men) at the same time. If females were regularly portrayed as jack-asses, however, imagine the uproar. But then white men are a safe target...In Hollywood, girls are made all-powerful, (white) boys are sex-crazed idiots...Men also get bashed for unfair treatment of minorities and women. Still, I’m not sure they deserve chastisement. Slavery, for example, existed prior to biblical times, and was rampant around the world until recently. In some places, it still exists with new names: In Communist China, hundreds of millions are de-facto slaves, with less freedom than the American slave had. But consider: White men did not invent slavery.

This particular blog of Frank Parlato's is chock-full of such ignorant backward backwoods obscenities, unfortunately it doesnt end there.

From an article by Rebecca Pahle regarding a film review in 2012 that clearly had upset Frank Parlato's manly non-sensibilities, Rebecca writes "The e-mail in which the editor in question, Frank Parlato, Jr. of the Niagara Falls Reporter, expresses his hatred of all things vaguely feminist-seeming is truly a thing to behold. I find myself almost (but not quite) unable to muster any anger over the blatant sexism on display here". She goes on to quote Frank Parlato's reasoning for his disdain of the film Snow White and the Huntsman,  Frank writes:

when my boys were young i would never have allowed them to go to such a film for i believe it would injure their developing manhood. if i would not let my own sons see it, why would i want to publish anything about it?
snow white and the huntsman is trash. moral garbage. a lot of fuzzy feminist thinking and pandering to creepy hollywood mores produced by metrosexual imbeciles.
I don’t want to publish reviews of films where women are alpha and men are beta.
where women are heroes and villains and men are just lesser versions or shadows of females.
i believe in manliness.
they seem to like critiques from an artistic standpoint without a word about the moral turpitude seeping into the consciousness of young people who go to watch such things as snow white and get indoctrinated to the hollywood agenda of glorifying degenerate power women and promoting as natural the weakling, hyena -like men, cum eunuchs.
the male as lesser in courage strength and power than the female. it may be ok for some but it is not my kind of manliness.

More importantly beyond Frank Parlato's blatant racism, Frank Parlato's blatant sexism and misogyny is Frank Parlato's deep deep Homophobia:

First, the Reporter is not opposed to Mr. Palumbo saying that he has an objection to homosexuality or preaching his objection even in language that may be insulting. However, I draw the line at publishing any call to make homosexuality illegal or to punish any consenting adults for practicing homosexuality...The Reporter’s defense of gay rights or gay criticism stops at limiting free speech. Let babies howl and do what they will. I have no objection to anyone trying to persuade any adult that homosexuality is wrong or right.I draw the line, however, at youth and believe it is the duty of parents to instruct their children about sexual orientation and not the government, school, media or professional sports. I think this country needs to show more respect for the rights of parents...Coming to the world of adults, I support the rights of two or more people to have any relationship they please. I do not care at all what sex organs adults have when they come into physical contact with each other for fun, for mysticism, health, or profit. I am not offended by adults who practice homosexuality, polygamy, polyandry, polyamory, promiscuity...

This reads like something from 1952, i.e. the DSM:
For Frank Parlato, Homosexuality is a sexual sport that requires two or more parties engaging in sex. He cannot fathom Homosexual children or Homosexual babies, in his narrow warped mind we are all born Heterosexual and only BECOME Homosexual through, according to Frank, and I quote "practice". Anything that has to do with Homosexuality for Frank Parlato MUST involve SEX! Why Parlato is so obsessed with sex, with whom is doing what with whom, we cannot say. But it is precisely through the lens of Parlato's sex obsessions, coupled with his extreme Homophobia that HIS personal narrative of Kristin Snyder is tainted at best and blatant (provable) lies at the worst!

And for us, our purpose is not only to avail Kristin Snyder (the missing person), BUT to restore Kristin Snyder the HOMOSEXUAL female! Restored from the FICTIONAL, easily led, easily manipulated, weak, wishy washy, psychotic, suicidal, desperate, cheater who got knocked up by the Vanguard and couldnt face an abortion Kristin Snyder who exists ONLY to serve in this case (the Lost Women of NXIVM) as Frank Parlato's personal agenda to slander a former boss who fired him!
