According to Wikipedia, “Raël separated from wife Lisa Sunagawa {profiled in the prior post} in 1992”—though no cause was given and their clandestine marriage hadn’t even been acknowledged.
“The most intelligent person. Love itself,” Lisa gushed after the breakup. “When you are close to him, you can feel him. He is pure and serene. With someone like that—it is selfish to keep him for myself.”
And he certainly wasn’t keeping himself ‘pure’ for her—at the time he’d begun an affair with someone the polar opposite of the brunette Japanese dancer: a blonde French doctor named Brigitte Boisselier (at top).
Raised as a strict Catholic, Brigitte went to hear the Raëlian leader speak in December 1991 … and was instantly hooked. “I am not the kind of girl who can trust a theory based on one person,” she said emphatically. “But suddenly I just felt an intense connection, and just knew he wasn’t lying.”
And after lying down with him, the blonde biochemist left the father of her three children and became a Raëlian bishop (below left) … while becoming the constant companion of its libidinous leader (below right).
Oh, and did we mention Cloning? (inset above).
Say whaaaat? “Let us now paraphrase the Gospel of Raël,” writes Religion News. “An immortal race of alien hotties were able to clone the first humans in a laboratory 22,000 years ago.” So naturally when these E.T.s “came to Raël to tell him about the origins of mankind, they offered him the sexual services of a half dozen futuristic sex robots.”
Or perhaps he got the whole idea from this provocative paperback (below left) that came out shortly before his ‘vision.’ The visitors “asked the Frenchman to create a new ‘harem’ exclusively for women, the Order of Raël’s Angels” {which he handpicked Bridget to head}.
Their liaison on Earth “was to create a training program to prepare women to receive the extraterrestrials when they landed in their spaceship—to act as hostesses, companions and lovers to the alien visitors.” And like those that first visited Raël, they must all be nude (above right).
Hardly a problem … because over 200 happily stripped in 2003 to dis•splay their love of Genetic Modification {GM}:
And the Raëlians recently practiced in formation {though not in the flesh—that arrives later} looking up in anticipation of the aliens.
Why just last month, Colorado convert Shannon McKeown imitated her alien ancestors’ fondness for flesh at the group’s annual event (below left)—as did Angel JuYoung on a public California beach (below right).
Describing the originators of Go Topless Day, Gawker noted: “Beyond nudity, Raëlians love peace, sex and the advancement of technology.” To which Cult Education.com added: “Rael wanted only good-looking women for his Order of Angels. Their tasks would range from consensual sexual gratification—for the aliens and for him—to offering their wombs and eggs for cloning experiments.”
Which is where Brigitte the Biochemist comes in.
As her bio at their Happiness Academy site raves: “Brigitte is a renowned scientist, with expertise in human cloning and stem cell technology. She has also traveled the world, following Maitreya Raël on every continent and assisting him in his public conferences and teachings for the past quarter century.” In fact, in 2003, “Raël announced that Dr. Boisselier would succeed him as the group’s leader upon his death” … and they appearedinseparable.
Notice him checking out her chest at upper right.
An Ohio State physics professor who met with Brigitte observed: “The Raëlians have a knack for drawing in pleasant, attractive, professionally successful people in scientific or technical fields. Boisselier, in addition to a pretty face, has two Ph.D.’s in chemistry from France’s University of Dijon.”
So she can clearly ‘cut the mustard’ {sorry}.
Not by coincidence, Brigitte is one of the few Raëlain women to have children—and hers were born before she met her maker. The foremost author on the sect, sociologist Susan J. Palmer knows “of only two Raëlians who have had children. They tend to put off child-bearing indefinitely until, as Raël puts it succinctly, the individual is sexually fulfilled.”
And that day is coming: “Uninhibited sex is an important feature of Raëlism,” Cult Education explains, “as is the hope of achieving everlasting life and perpetual orgasms through cloning.”
Not exactly a hard sell …
Perhaps shapely Dr. Boisselier should begin by cloning herself !
And she puts her mouth where the money is—conducting sex courses at $200 a pop, such as this early one infiltrated by an undercover News of the World reporter in May 1997: “Dressed from head to toe in figure-hugging black (below left), baby-clone doctor Brigitte Boisselier strutted between 17 nervous ‘initiates’ to her sex cult.
“At a remote 2,000-acre estate in Dorset, England, Brigitte took huge delight in listening to her scantily clad flock (above right) describe their sexual urges. Each member was told to write down his or her most intimate fantasies. A woman in her twenties was picked by Boisselier to read out hers first. She obeyed falteringly, flushing a deep red: ‘I imagine myself being dominated. Not by one man, but by 3 or 4 at the same time … one by one they take me … I am naked and submissive.’ Brigitte never took her eyes off the woman.”
The Love Doc then laid out the ‘Joy of Sects’ for the assembled converts to the movement— passing on the precise Raël’s Rules he set forth upon founding the group:
1. “Women in particular should have sex with one or more individuals of either sex as long as the individuals agree, since contraception has freed women from fear of pregnancy” {besides, we have cloning for that}.
2. “Sect members should, at the same time, encourage those they love to seek sexual gratification with others. Sect members should also continue to sexually gratify a loved one who does not oppose them having sex with others.”
3. “Raëlians should also not reject, but rather have sex with, another person if that person wants to gratify them sexually.” That’s an impulse we can certainly get our arms around!
4. “Sect members can have heterosexual, homosexual and bisexual sex in couples, threesome, foursomes and ‘moresomes.’”
And with an exalted ‘5 White Feathers’ designation of devotion, Dr. B was totally ‘on board’ with the ‘sex energy’ espoused: “Freedom of love is freedom to say yes to many lovers,” she insisted.
Thus from Raël’s first forehead kiss welcoming her to the movement (below left), his hand-picked suck•cessor has done her best to personally spread that philosophy to the world (below right).
And what better way than through cloning—creating generations of perfect partners to share ‘perpetual orgasms”?
Brigitte made headlines around the world in 2002 by announcing she had cloned the first human baby—a deceased daughter brought back to life she named ‘Eve.’
Proudly showing off her compact cloning machine (inset below) to a skeptical press at a Hollywood news conference,” Dr. Boisselier sniffed: “I realize they say we are ‘wacko’ and ‘out there.’
“Every time new technology is introduced, especially involving reproduction, you get the ‘yuck’ effect {though not when she provides the underlying evidence, above}. I will be vindicated!” she vowed.
“After the announcement,” Wikipedia recounts, “the beautiful Boisselier received abundant press, but the media—particularly late night comedy programs—criticized her glamorous appearance and mocked Raëlism.”
Particularly Saturday Night Live … which had Raël and Brigitte pay a visit to the ‘Weekend Update’ segment hosted by Tina Fey and Jimmy Fallon in early 2003:
“You two are a couple of old-fashioned nutbirds,” mocked Fey of the “crazy clone people”—played by ChrisKattan and Amy Poehler with wide-eyed wackiness.
"But come clean,” Tina pressed them. “Where is the baby?” Actually, no clone was ever produced—and Brigitte was forced to admit she “hasn’t met Eve yet because I am afraid of being followed.”
“Are you sure it was successful?” the Update anchor asked. “We’re on TV, aren’t we?” Kattan’s Raël responded.
And indeed, the cult leader later admitted: “If someone dares to say it’s not true—and I would never say that—it’s still a win-win situation for us. All the world knows about the Raëlian movement now and I am thankful to her {Brigitte} for that. Some experts say we got between $600 million and $700 million of coverage and I did nothing!”
But Florida attorney Bernard Siegel did something—he “sued Raël, Boisselier and Clonaid {her company} for custody of the supposed child,” and “discovered that Clonaid had no address or board of directors.” Said Siegel: “I came away completely convinced it was a totally specious, fraudulent claim and publicity stunt.”
So when the publicity turned sour—Brigitte could provide “no hard evidence of the clone-birth”—her biggest booster Raël (below left) began to distance himself from her publicly … though they continued to sneak off for secret vacations where he could show her his ‘big rod’ (below right).
Weeks after no child was produced, Las Vegas scribe Kate Silver filed this report: “I met Dr. Brigitte Boisselier for the first time, at the Bellagio Hotel over oversized cups of coffee.” And indeed BB’s cups runneth over:
Yet the D-cup Doc remained defiant: “The public has been educated with very bad Hollywood pictures, and that’s what people have in mind when they think about clones. So the way people are looking at it is because they don’t have the education.”
And alas, her beloved Raël had begun looking at her differently—even when she was standing right next to him. “We become beautiful when we live the Raëlian philosophy,” he told a journalist in a joint interview. “All our women try to do their best, even if they are not beautiful. Like Brigitte here (nodding toward Dr. Boisselier), she does her best to look beautiful, but she is not so young anymore. But she does her best.” And keeps trying to this day …
One who remains undoubtedly beautiful, though, is Brigitte’s beloved eldest daughter, Marina Coliocos …
… who reputedly volunteered to carry the cloned baby!
“The cool thing about Raëlians collecting money for their Clonaid project,” quipped one wag, “is that when you tell them to screw themselves, they really can!!”
And who wouldn’t want to inseminate this surrogate … enthusiastically leading a ‘Femininity Day’ march in Chicago.
“Nakedness promotes humility and inner strength,” Marina mused at the time. But she “decided not to getnaked {in Chicago} because it’s too cold.”
“Marina Cocolios is a picture of female fecundity,” observed Worldwide Religious News in 2000. “At 22, she has a peaches and cream complexion and shiny dark eyes. As Brigitte Boisselier’s daughter, she’s also the surrogate-mom volunteer the Raëlians always trot out for media interviews.”
“Cocolios turns heads with her shapely figure,” Religious News notes. “Lovely as she is, though, conversations with her tend to veer off into outer space.” Such as: “I am very sure about what I am doing {carrying the clone}. These people {the parents of the dead child} want the DNA of that first baby to have the chance to fully express itself and I want to help give it that chance,” she bubbles (below right).
“It’s like having a pregnancy not just for yourself but for the whole world," she gushed. “Isn’t it beautiful?”
Particularly in the buff: One of the first two surrogate volunteers—alongside blonde Sylvie Tremblay, below left—Marina maintained: “We are the only philosophy that embraces nudity as a beautiful thing. We have sexual freedom—we do whatever feels good.” Such as appearing nude on the sect’s poster with her own clone!
So when the leader of the U.S. Raëlian Movement, Ricky Roehr—Marina’s mom’s current secret younger husband …
… voiced support for an embattled Boise, Idaho strip club in Feb. 2005—declaring, “There is nothing more natural or beautiful than nudity”—a photo of his future stepdaughter topless graced the article:
And as for “Full Frontal Support,” Marina is equally outspoken. “Raëlians have a different perspective on being naked,” she said in an interview (below left). “No part of the body is dirty” (below right).
“And besides, I’m French.”
Which may explain her “uninhibited, sexually liberated” views on conjugal coupling. “I like a special relationship with one person {married, she now goes by Marina Balibrera} and other relationships with others.”
“Marina Cocolios-Balibrera from Chicago has been nominated and empowered a Level 4 Guide by the Prophet Raël at the Prophet’s Garden,” read a Raelian newsletter notice in Sept. 2005—confirming speculation that a romantic ‘relationship’ with Rael was one of her others. “She is now the area guide in charge of the states of Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota.” With a total of 52 erect•oral votes …
“Sensual Meditation {coined by Raël} is a technique of relaxation that helps you connect to the infinite that surrounds us,” declares the doc’s dishy daughter {who’s also in charge of ‘Integration,’ i.e., fitting in, inset}. Be careful,” she smiles, “you may end up getting an orgasm from the strawberry you’re eating!”
And to cap it off (below left), Marina insists, “Sexuality is the best way to work directly on our biological computer: the brain. Some Raëlians choose to be single—masturbation is very healthy—some like exclusivity with their partner, and some are butterflies.” And some like to let loose their lab•ia (below right).
“I must confess,” she concluded, ‘that I am easily seduced when a man is curious about my philosophy. Do you want to play?”
Let’s b(END) on a high note!
