A member of the cultlike group known as Zizians has been charged with murder in the shooting of her parents at their Pennsylvania home on her 30th birthday, and a prosecutor said Wednesday she wasn't acting alone. ---NEWS---
The two deaths are among six linked to the Zizians, a group of young, highly intelligent computer scientists who appear to share radical beliefs about veganism, animal rights, gender identity and artificial intelligence.

That’s a very strange and dangerous group.
Not cult-like. Cult.
Computer scientists? Is that a qualification for membership?
Troons.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zizians
They identify as “vegan anarchotranshumanists”
Zizians have unique psychological theories, such as “debucketing”, aimed at liberating people from societal constraints to pursue their moral ideals, and the notion that the hemispheres of the brain can have distinct genders and conflicting interests.[8] They claim to practice unihemispheric sleep (UHS), a form of sleep deprivation intended to “jailbreak” the mind, which they believe can enhance their commitment to their cause
It all depends onwhat the definition of “Ziz” , ZIZ !
Posted in memory of the blue dress and end point radical leftism.( Death ).
That describes literal real-life brain-washing techniques.
Wow, ok avoid those nut cases at all costs.
a group of young, highly intelligent computer scientists
Actions like this seem to make this statement false.
The Zizians are a cult-like group of highly educated, radical vegan and transgender computer scientists and rationalists from the San Francisco Bay Area, allegedly led by Jack LaSota (known as “Ziz”). ® The group is linked to six homicides across the United States, driven by an extreme ideology combining anarchism, transhumanism, and fears regarding artificial intelligence. &
Key details about the group and its activities include:
• Ideology and Recruitment: Members, many of whom worked in tech or Al safety, were recruited through rationalist and effective altruism communities.
& They believe in “unihemispheric sleep” (sleep deprivation) and view meat consumption as a severe ethical violation, often isolating themselves in converted trucks (”slackmobiles”) or on boats to avoid societal collapse.
• Alleged Killings: The group is connected to the deaths of David Maland (a U.S.
Border Patrol agent killed in a Vermont shootout in January 2025), Curtis Lind (an 80-year-old California landlord stabbed to death in January 2025), and Richard and Rita Zajko (a Pennsylvania couple shot in December 2022). e Other associates, Emma Borhanian and Felix Bauckholt, also died during violent altercations with their targets.
• Legal Status: Jack LaSota was arrested in Maryland in February 2025 and held without bail. & Other members, including Michelle Zajko (daughter of the murdered Pennsylvania couple) and Daniel Blank, face charges related to gun possession, trespassing, and obstruction, with investigations into their roles in the murders ongoing. &
• Structure: Despite being labeled a cult by media and law enforcement due to their hierarchical control, isolation tactics, and violent extremism, the group does not officially use the name “Zizians” or formally acknowledge having a leader or formal membership structure. e
Al-generated answer. Please verify critical facts
Without clicking the article to see a pic if there’s one, it’s a fair bet being from the AP the killer is a mentally ill tranny of sorts and not a “she.”
Just search in Google and click on "images".
They look from normal to very angry nuts.
May or may not be trans, hard to tell with some folks.
Zizi is french slang for penis
No thank you...don’t want to throw up on my 32” monitor!
I’m going to the courthouse today maybe i’ll get to see the perp.
Since when is a cult described as “cult-like”?
Kind of like saying a “pedophile-like” pervert was caught raping a 3 year old....
Climate change! They forgot climate change!
Highly intelligent? I doubt that...I only agree with their hatred of AI...and that is I'm still getting knowledge on it.
More mentally ill individuals brainwashed into an evil, anti-life collective.
