Six violent deaths across the country, including that of a Vallejo landlord and a U.S. Border Patrol agent in Vermont, have been connected to people associated with a fringe offshoot of a Bay Area-based intellectual movement, according to interviews, court filings and social media posts.
The case is dizzying.
Federal prosecutors said Teresa Youngblut, accused of killing Border Patrol agent David Maland in Coventry, Vt., near the U.S.-Canada border on Jan. 20, is associated with “persons of interest” in a double homicide in Chester Heights, Penn., in 2023.
One of those persons of interest in the double homicide, prosecutors said, purchased the firearms used in the fatal shooting of Maland.
Another person of interest detained in connection to the Pennsylvania case is also being investigated in the Jan. 17 fatal stabbing of Curtis Lind, an 82-year-old landlord in Vallejo, according to federal filings.
Moreover, Youngblut had filed an application in November to marry Maximilian Snyder, who was arrested by Vallejo police Friday in Redding on suspicion of murdering Lind.
Lind had survived a previous attack, which left him critically wounded and blind in one eye, in 2022. He shot two of his assailants, killing one, Emma Borhanian. Lind was supposed to be the key witness in an upcoming trial of two of his alleged attackers, Suri Dao and Alexander “Somni” Leatham.
Borhanian and Leatham had previously been involved in a bizarre Sonoma County protest against the nonprofit Center for Applied Rationality with Gwen Danielson and Jack LaSota, known as “Ziz,” in 2019.
Some have called LaSota and her associates the “Zizians,” an offshoot of the modern rationalist movement that believes human decision-making can be improved by logic, evidence and an awareness of uncertainty and cognitive bias.
LaSota’s group espoused extreme veganism and animal rights.
Confused yet? So are we. In this map and timeline, we clarify the connections between the persons of interest, the incidents and where they happened. This is a developing story, and we will update it as we learn more.
Did anyone mention that all the cult members listed above were "trans"? Trans is an "intellectual movement"?
...and their Gyges-Cloak Wielding Media and Political Enablers protect them...
..cults comprised of "those who cannot be criticized" and can therefore kill in the name of the Progressive/ Ethical Kitsch/ Luigi-esque "Good Cause/ Greater Good". After all, they must all defeat Trump-Hitler and White Supremacism!
The Ziz-ers should join forces with Ayn Rand's "Objectivists" and jointly worship at the altar of Big-R "Rationalism".

How many "trans murder cults" are there in your delusions? How many people have they killed? Thousands? More?
How many did you know about before I wrote this? Why hadn't you heard about any? Was Gyges cloak concealing them?
ps - Luigi was definitely an "ally".
I changed the bottom video to include the "ethics of kitsch" angle that the Nazi's used for killing the Jews. All for the "greater good" and "survival of the planet," of course.
Luigi is likely a rich republican. It was republicans who shot at (or tried to shoot at) d0n0ld prior to him returning to the White House. republicans are more inclined to violence. Ergo, I think it's very likely Luigi is a rightturd.
The Nazi Party was a rightturd party. Neo Nazis are rightturds. Also tRump supporters.
LIAR LIAR, PANTIES ON FIRE!
...and what of all those Kitschy Democrats who thought that killing a Health Insurance CEO wasn't such a "bad thing"?
....they should join the "ziz cult" along with all the utilitarian altruists.
Oh wait. To get in to that cult you need to demonstrate your commitment to the cause by cutting your d*ck off. They're probably not "committed" enough to "the cause"!
Minus: and what of all those Kitschy Democrats who thought that killing a Health Insurance CEO wasn't such a "bad thing"?
Which Democrats would those be? I'm not aware of anyone that said, "I'm a Democrat and I approve of the healthcare CEO being murdered".
Which is why he's become a folk hero to "progressives"...
It's an "unspoken" rule of the club.
You know the one. The one with the virtue signal as password and white guilt-pride entry fee.

Says who? 9 out of 10 of the voices in your head?
Luigi Mangione is a murderer. What he did will not change anything for the better. Sociopathic CEOs will simply spend more on security. Also be more careful. Brian Thompson died in part due to his own carelessness. I don't particularly care. But I absolutely don't consider his killer any kind of hero.
More like 9 out of 10 BlueSky posters
Minus: More like 9 out of 10 BlueSky posters.
And you can give some evidence that suggests that is the case? Or is that a "fact" you pulled out of your ass?
You like to play dumb?
Donot comment: "United Healthcare had record profits in 2024. They had record profits in 2022 and in 2023, too. That profit is the unnecessary debt and death of millions of regular people. Luigi's acts have moved those people. We need to end profit-motive in healthcare. We need free, universal healthcare."
Sound like Bernie supporters to me.
ie - Effective Altruists... not selfish Randoid 'Objectivists'.
The "ethics of kitsch". Do bad to do good.
Re: Defense fund established by supporters of suspected CEO killer Luigi Mangione tops $200K.
You have access to the names and party affiliations of all the people that donated? Clearly you're the one who enjoys playing dumb.
