Weird Scenes Inside.... [1] Kanye West > NXIVM

Question: What connects Kanye West’s track “New Slaves” to the NXIVM cult, geoengineering and Haight-Ashbury?

Answer: Benjamin Bronfman

In 2013, Teachers (Benjamin Bronfman and co) co-produced “New Slaves”, the first single out of Kanye's Yeezus album, earning Bronfman his first Grammy nomination.

Bronfman was born in New York City, and then lived in London briefly, during his father's tenure as managing director of Seagram Distilleries Europe. The family returned in 1984, once his father became President of Seagram's U.S. marketing division. His mother is African-American and his father, Edgar Bronfman Jr., is Jewish American.

He is a member of the Lehman family via his paternal grandmother, Ann Loeb Bronfman.

Bronfman was guitarist for The Exit, an indie/punk/reggae rock band he started with Gunnar Olsen and Jeff DaRosa in 2000, while he attended Emerson College.

During this time period, he went by Ben Brewer, using his mother's maiden name to avoid unnecessary associations between the band and his father. In 2007, shortly after the official announcement of The Exit's breakup, Bronfman founded Green Owl, an independent record label distributed by Warner Music Group, created to be the first environmentally conscious sustainable record label and apparel line.

You can see Benjamin performing for the “Liberty Science Center Genius Gala” (he is billed as a board member) below. I wonder if the audience were aware that they were in the presence of a Bronfman:

He and musician and activist Mathangi "M.I.A." Arulpragasam, better known under the stage name M.I.A., were engaged from 2009–2012 and have a son together.

Benjamin’s aunt is Clare Bronfman, the American heiress, convicted felon and former leader of NXIVM, a multi-level marketing company and cult based near Albany, New York. She is the youngest daughter of billionaire philanthropist and former Seagram liquor chairman Edgar Bronfman Sr. After a brief equestrian career, Bronfman began involvement in NXIVM, a business engaged in criminal activities during 1998–2018, which led to indictments on federal charges, including sex trafficking. In September 2020, Judge Nicholas Garaufis sentenced Bronfman to six years and nine months imprisonment.

In 2010, Benjamin Bronfman was named Strategic Advisor of Global Thermostat.

On November 13, 2010, Bronfman presented Global Thermostat's vision and process as a speaker at the TED Brooklyn Conference at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY.

As this 2010 article suggests, Global Thermostat and their technology is a form of geoengineering:

It gets weirder though. Benjamin Bronfman is also involved with a “sewage-to-algae” process via the company Algae Systems where he is a principal investor and advisor. You’ll never guess who the managing director of this company is - none other than John Perry Barlow who wrote lyrics for the Grateful Dead.
