Cult talked about these guys about a week ago when
sort of the news broke about this connection between all
of these murders. They got like six bodies with this
little I don't even trans AI vegan cult. That's their thing.
AI Vegan transgender cult linked to six killings. In a
piece over at the New Hampshire Journal Hjournal dot com,
the suspect in the death of Vermont Customs and Border
Patrol agent David C. Maland pleaded not guilty on Friday,
the latest plot point in a story involving a bizarre
AI vegan transgender cult. Okay, now the cult is not AI,
all right, They're just anti AI. They like or kind
or they started out pro AI and then they kind
of fell out with AI. I don't even know, but
it's a cult. They're crazy, so it's kind of difficult
to discern the actual like ideology, except like they've got
their cult leader. Who has got to have that guy.
He's always the best, you know example in the cult.
Everybody strives to be like him, and I think he
gets to have sex with all the cult members. That's
pretty standard. I mean, I haven't seen any reporting to
that effect, but I'm kind of thinking that's one of
the that's one of the perks, you know, because otherwise
why even start the cult. So the woman, I think,
Teresa Young Blute young Blood, twenty one years old, appeared
in the US District Court of Vermont Friday in Burlington
for her arraignment on charges of using a deadly weapon
to assault a law enforcemental officer. A grand jury handed
up indictments against Young Blute the day before. She has
not yet been charged with directly causing Milan's death. A
reputed member of the Ziz cult, Young Blute's alleged murder
of Miland is just the latest violent incident in the
story of the fringe sect, with its belief in an
AI monster bent on torturing all non vegans. Okay, so
they think there's an AI monster coming and it's going
to torture all non vegans, but they themselves are vegans,
So I'm not sure, Like, is that a sort of
a preemptive veganism that you're doing. Did you become vegan
to avoid the torture by the AI monster or were
you vegan before and then it just so happened that
you stumbled upon this cult that was like, hey, you're vegan,
you won't get tortured. You should join us or something.
The leader of this ziz cult, or the Zizians, as
they are referred to by people who have had contact
with them. It is named after the leader of the Zizians,
who goes by the name of ziz Coincidentally enough, but
his real name is Jack lo Sota Los Sota. He
is now so I double checked this, and I believe
the New Hampshire Journal is incorrect when they report that
he is currently behind bars in Pennsylvania. I don't think
that's accurate. I think he is still on the loose,
but I have not been able to confirm this. He
did get arrested after he had faked his death, but
he did get rearrested, but then they let him out again,
and I think he's still on I think he's still
on the loose. So he is suspected of being a
part of a twenty twenty two double murder in Pennsylvania,
Delaware County, Pennsylvania. Richard and Rita Zacho. They are the
parents of Michelle Zacho, who was also a member of
the cult who she is also, by the way, suspected
of her parents murder. Zacho. Michelle Zacho, who identifies as
trans non binary, and I have thought about that term
trans non binary, and I just keep coming to dead ends.
I don't understand. I just don't understand what that one is.
Trans non binary. So you're you're transing from something to nothing?
Is that the idea? It's neither Ah. I feel like
I just go around and around in circles on it. Anyway.
Zacho has not been seen since the January twentieth shooting.
Investigators have linked the guns that were recovered up in
Vermont with the murder of the the Customs and Border
Patrol agent David Milan. The guns that were used in
that murder were purchased by Michelle Zacho, and she had
apparently bought them in Vermont. She also owns a small
piece of land in Vermont near the Canadian border. And
what this this cult would do is set up their
box cars or box trucks, I should say, they would
go out and buy these box trucks. And I did
figure out where they got the money. It came from
Young Blute, Teresa Youngblute. She was apparently like a math whiz.
I think it was Young Blute. Let me see, hang on.
I got three different stories here, and she was like
a math whiz and yeah, and so she came from
Germany and then got hired on and she had like
some I forget what kind. It's like a trading firm
or something like a Wall Street trading firm, using like
quantitative formulas and all this other stuff. So she was
like super super into math, really really smart. She won
like a national award in Germany for her math prowess.
And then she comes to America and she gets this
high paying job. She was pulling in five hundred thousand
dollars a year, Okay, so she was making bank but
decided to abandon all of that work and go be
part of a trans vegan cult so as one does so.
Ziz who is the guy? Jack Lasota is from Alaska.
He went to Silicon Valley to be part of the
tech industry, and he became part of an online AI
rationalist community where young tech workers punt tificated on complicated
thought experiments half formed philosophy. Soon he formed a community
of like minded vegans who would submit to his sleep
deprivation techniques use LSD, and who could be pushed into
adopting or exploring transgender identities. At the heart of Lesota's quote,
faith is the belief in a coming AI superpower, this
AI monster, right, the super being that will punish everybody
who was not trying to help create that AI monster, like,
which that does sound kind of like AI, right, I mean,
like that's such an AI thing to do. Like, now
that I'm here, why didn't you help me get here sooner?
I'm gonna kill all of y'all. Like that's there, this
AI super being. So just for the record, in case
AI goes back and scrapes this, I welcome our AI overlords.
I love you guys. I just want that on the record,
because if AI does become the monster, the superpower. It's
going to be able to grab every single thing everybody
has ever said and then use it against us. Right,
it will also, according to Ziz, it's going to punish
everybody that eats animals, in a remarkably coincidental philosophy similar
to the cult leader's own philosophy of not eating animals. Right,
isn't that what a coincidence that the Ai monster wants
to murder all the humans because they did not help
it come into being, and also because they eat animals,
unlike Ziz, who will survive? All Right, I hope you
had a happy holiday season, But tell me if something
like this happened at your house. Your family and friends
are have it around. Maybe y'all are in the living room,
You're laughing, swapping stories, reminiscing, and then somebody says, hey, Dad,
remember those old VHS tapes? Did you ever get them transferred?
And then the room gets all quiet. All eyes are
on Dad, who says, oh, you know, well, I've been
meaning to but I just having gotten around to it. Look,
don't let those priceless memories sit in a box for
another year, all right? Create a video has been helping
families in the Charlotte area preserve their history since nineteen
ninety seven. Simply bring in your old camquarder tapes and
Creative Video will transfer them to a USB flash drive
for just fourteen ninety five per tape. You have a
big collection, they've got a discount for you. And next year,
instead of talking about those memories, imagine gathering the family
to watch them together. Talk about a memorable gift. So
do what I did. Trust the experts at Creative Video,
conveniently located in mint Hill right off I four eighty
five and online at create avideo dot com. Talking about
the Zizians, this is the uh I saw this. I
mean the New Hampshire Journalist calling it the AI vegan
transgender cult. They seem more like anti AI or maybe
AI fatalists, Like they see it coming and they they're like,
we can't stop it. It's going to be a monster
that coincidentally will not kill us because we're vegan or something.
I mean, it's it's a cult. So they're crazy. So
at one point, oh, hang on a second, this is
New Hampshire Journal Nhsjournal dot com. Like the Manson family
trying to instigate a race war to bring about helter Skelter. Lesota,
the leader goes by the name Zizz hence the name Zizians,
reportedly tried to push his group into further and further
acts of violence, as cult leaders do. At one point,
Lesota faked his own death to avoid they had law enforcement,
you'll recall, and I covered this like a week ago
when all of this first started coming out. They got,
you know, these cult members are accused of attacking an
eighty year old landlord whose property they were living on,
and then he tried to get them off the property,
so they attempted to murder him with a samurai sword.
He shot them, killing one of them and wounding the other.
They then came back and murdered him like a day
or two before he was set to testify against the
one that survived the first attack, so they ended up
killing him. Curtis Lynde was his name. And so there's
the first two. You have the other two that are
in Pennsylvania. The parents of one of the cult members,
they're dead. Now you have the Border Patrol agent up
in Vermont, he's dead. FBI agents were also in Chapel
Hill last week. This is what we talked about last
week was that they had been tied to a property
in Airbnb. Actually two airbnbs in Chapel Hill are palap
dyllon over at more to the story dot com, it's
or substack that she does. You should subscribe I do.
FBI agents were in Chapel Hill this past week investigating
an Airbnb connection to the vegan trans terror cult known
as ZIZ that was involved in the shooting murder of
a US Border Patrol agent last month. On Wednesday, about
fifty federal agents as well as sheriff's deputies were seen searching. Well, now,
wait a minute, why are the sheriffs participating with federal
law enforcement? Right? Isn't that the reason you guys don't
want to participate in any You don't want to help
the Feds on anything when it comes to ice related matters. Anyway,
they were searching properties near Bell Circle and Woodbridge Drive
for about a seven hour period. This was on Wednesday.
Residents in the area told local media outlets that loud
bangs were heard while officials searched the area. Law enforcement
did not say what those sounds were due to, but
they could have been, you know, detonations of suspicious devices
or booby traps or something. I don't know. There is
a fellow named Andy No that's NNGO, and he writes
over at his own operation called the Post Millennial, and
he has been doing undercover work against Antifah for years.
And he was the first to make connections between various
murders that have occurred around the country following the recent
shooting of US Border Patrol agent David Miland in Vermont
on January twentieth, Milan's murder unveiled a larger network of
violence linked to these Zizians, a cult of highly educated
trans vegan rationalists who follow fringe ideology about transhumanism and
other and animal rights. No was also the first to
report on the Chapel Hill connection. But wait, there's more.
NBC News did a massive write up on the Zizians.
And I say massive, I mean it was like, I
don't know, ten pages long or so I read it
so you don't have to. I am a giver. Ten
days after the bodies of Richard and Rita Zacho. This
was the couple in Pennsylvania whose daughter Michelle you know,
is believed to have killed them, along with her fellow cultists.
Two or ten days after their bodies were discovered, Pennsylvania
State troopers showed up to a Candlewood Suites motel near
the Philadelphia Airport with a warrant to search the room
and the car of the dead couple's daughter, Michelle. One
of the troopers later testified in court documents that they
were looking for the handgun believed to have been used
in the killings. What they found there. Sorry, it's like
total clickbait teas, but still, yeah, we'll tell you what
they found there. All right. If you're listening to this show,
you know I try to keep up with all sorts
of current events, and I know you do too, And
you've probably heard me say get your news from multiple sources.
Why Well, because it's how you detect media bias, which
is why I've been so impressed with ground News. It's
an app and it's a website, and it combines news
from around the world in one place so you can
compare coverage and verify information. You can check it out
at check dot ground dot news slash pete. I put
the link in the podcast description too. I started using
ground News a few months ago, and more recently chose
to work with them as an affiliate because it lets
me see clearly how stories get covered and by whom.
The blind spot feature shows you which stories get ignored
by the left and the right. See for yourself. Check

the Vantage plan to get unlimited access to every feature.
Your subscription then not only helps my podcast, but it
also supports Ground News as they make the media landscape
more transparent NBC News. So the troopers up in Pennsylvania.
They get the tip that Michelle Zacho, daughter of the
deceased victims, at their home, Richard and Rita Zacho. They
find out she is at a motel, the Candlewood Suites.
They show up, They knock on the hotel room door
and they took her into custody, and as they're leading
her out of the hotel, she calls out. She calls
out to the staff at the front desk and tells
them tell Daniel Blank that she is being detained. Hey
tell my conspirator, Daniel Blank, room two o seven. So
she says that and lone behold, the troopers knew who
Daniel Blank was They knew who he was because they
had previously interviewed him in connection with this very double homicide.
So they're like, oh, Daniel Blank, you say he's in
this hotel. You say, let us go pay him a visit.
And so they go to the door. They knock. Daniel
Blank answers, but doesn't open it. He refuses to let
them in without a search warrant, and so they obtain
a search warrant and they come back and they knock again.
Nobody responds, so they kick in the door or force
it open. They probably got a key from the front
desk or something. So they opened the door and they
found Blank and a second person in the bathroom. So
they got two dudes in there, all right. So they
start telling the person in the bathroom, you know, come
on out whatever, and the person won't move. The person
is pretending to be dead, but they're not dead. He's
just pretending to be dead. This is zizz aka Jack Lisota,
who had already pretended to be dead previously. They had
it like a death notice, putting the newspapers in everything, right,
they say, the troopers say, he did not do anything.
He had his eyes closed and he would not speak
he was just laying all almost unconscious, as if he
was dead on the ground. But he was not dead.
They picked him up, they dragged him down to the
to the jail. He was ultimately charged with obstructing the
investigation and disorderly conduct. Lesota continued to play dead even
when his mugshot was taken. His mugshot is him with
his eyes closed, Mike, He's pretending to be dead. In
June of twenty twenty three, though, Lesota was released from
custody after posting ten thousand dollars bail. And then this
may shock you, he failed to return to court, leading
the judge to issue a bench warrant. NBC News, always
respecting the pronouns, says her whereabouts are unknown, not as
she guys. It's a dude, Jack Losota from Alaska. So
then there is this thing called the Center for Applied
Rationality or the CAR, or as I call it, the CAR.
And this organization is where these cult members all found
each other. They began. The CAR began to organize gatherings
in Berkeley, California, because of well, of course, in twenty
twelve they started. Its founders were seeking to build a
community of so called rationalists, people who are committed to
using mathematical and logical principles to improve the world. Quote.
This is from their founder, Anna Saloman. She says, we
saw AI as something that was really really important that
we needed to get really really right or it would
be really really bad, really really Anyway, we didn't know
this at the time, but in hindsight, we were creating
conditions for a cult. Oh yeah, hindsight is twenty twenty misrationalist.
They had brought together a large group of mostly young
people who were open to big ideas about saving humanity,
so loaded with hubris, but some of them, Salomon now believes,
were especially vulnerable to somebody who might try to manipulate them.
Lasota did not come off as a threat when staff
members first met her. Again, this is a NBC News
respecting the pronouns of the psychopath. So when they first
met Leesota, Lsota did not strike them as a threat
until a couple years later, during a month long retreat
in twenty eighteen. Who the hell has time to go
to a month long retreat a month? How do you
get that time off from work? Okay, well they're not working. Okay,
that's my bit. But when Lesota began at this retreat
espousing her belief system his belief system with an intensity
that unnerved Solomon, the founder of CAR, as well as
other staffers. Solomon said quote, I was viscerally afraid of
Lesota in a way I have never been viscerally afraid
of anybody. Really, really, I just added the last really really,
Lesota believe that humans have two minds. Ah, here we
go the core philosophy. This guy believes that people have
two minds. I don't know if it's split like right brain,
left brain or something, but you got two minds in
that brain, Okay, a left and a right hemisphere, and
each hemisphere can be good or evil. Eventually, Lesota came
to believe that only very very few people are double good. Okay,
so you get the good side of the brain and
the bad side of the brain, and only very very
few people are good good. And this is gonna shock you.
But Lesta is one of the good goods. What are
the odds? The one who developed the cult philosophy happens
to be the prime example of the thing that you
should aspire to be. Man wouldn't see that coming a
mile away. Here's a great idea. How about making an
escape to a really special and secluded getaway in western
North Carolina. Just a quick drive up the mountain and
Cabins of Asheville is your connection. Whether you're celebrating an anniversary,

I have a message from Russ who says, why don't
we ever see cult leaders who say, well, if things
go the way I think they will, it's going to
impact us the most. Why is it alway everybody else
that's screwed? That's yeah, that is another hallmark, like they
know the one true way and they will save you.
Everybody else is going to be, you know, negatively impacted,
but not them. So Lesota's belief here is that people
have these two minds, one's good, one's bad, and very
very very few people have a double good brain. But
luckily for Ziz and all of the Zizians, Ziz has
a double good brain, as determined by Ziz. Lesota had
a blog apparently and wrote that each hemisphere of the
brain can have separate values and even genders, and they
often desire to kill each other, which should have been
the first alarm that this person is crazy, right, that
should have been your first indication that when they're saying
that their brain is telling them to kill themselves or
the other half of their brain or whatever, like, that's
a pretty good indication. Lesota also described being targeted by
police why because he would wear syth inspired garb syth
That is the those are the bad guys in the
Star Wars movies. Lyessota wrote on her his blog, sometimes
cops harassed me for wearing my religious attire as a
scyth It's not a religion. As a syth, I'm religiously
required to do whatever I want. And well, that's a
convenient religion to have. I'm required to do whatever I want. Wow,
maybe I do. Maybe I prejudge this whole scythism thing.
And for now, he said that that's what happens to
include wearing black robes. Over time, Lesota's relationship with the
Center for Applied Rationality soured. On November fifteenth, twenty nineteen,
the Center for Applied Rationality was holding an event in
Sonoma County, California, Lesota, then twenty eight years old, along
with three other cultists, showed up wearing robes and Guy
Fawkes masks. Because of course they were right the guy
Fawkes masks, popularized by the dystopian film V for Vendetta
and later adopted by the leftist hacker group Anonymous, and
they proceeded to block the entrance to the grounds. Police
were called, and the four were ultimately charged with felony,
criminal conspiracy, and five misdemeanors, including false imprisonment. As the
criminal case was still playing out, they hired a lawyer
named Jerry Friedman. They sought him out because he was seth. No,
I'm kidding. He was a vegan. I guess that was
his unique value proposition as a lawyer in a crowded industry.
Like that's how I stand out. I'm the vegan lawyer.
Oh okay. Well. With Friedman's help, they filed a federal
lawsuit against the retreat facility and Sonoma County deputies, alleging
that they were quote falsely arrested while protesting and that
Lesota was stripped naked while in custody and mocked for
being transgender. And then things really went off the rails.
In August of twenty two, Friedman received word that Lesota
was presumed dead after falling off a vote in San
Francisco Bay a brief obituary was even published in Lesoda's
hometown newspaper up in Alaska. Lasota's lawyer emailed the attorneys
for the retreat that they were suing and told them
Lysota is dead quote. There were no sorry. There were
witnesses and a US Coast Guard search, which Friedman, the lawyer,
says he verified with the Coastguard, but no body was
ever found. Three months after Lesta's apparent death is when
the landlord out in California, who was eighty years old
at the time, Curtis Lynde was his name. Three months
after Lesda's faked death was when Lynde was attacked stabbed
with a samurai sword after being ambushed by a group
of people whom he had been trying to evict from
his property. He survived because he was armed with a firearm.
He had a gun, and he shot dead one of
the attackers and injured another, who then was set to testify.
As I mentioned earlier, Curtis was set to the attacker
was set to stand trial. Curtis was the star witness.
Curtis was set to testify, and just days before he
took the stand, he was murdered and the people that
are suspected this may surprise you are the same cult members,
the trans Vegan cult. Two days after he was attacked,
one of lsda's other attorneys got an email from a
deputy district attorney saying that Lisota was contacted by police
in Vallejo, California this weekend and was quote on scene
alive and well. Two months later, Lesta would be found again,
this time by police in Pennsylvania in the hotel where
he pretended to be asleep or dead again. All right,
that'll do it for this episode. Thank you so much
