Zizian Murdercult summary, for those out of the loop

I know a bunch of people who were involved or adjacent, including someone who accidentally got some footage.

The summary below is based on talking to these people, looking at court documents, reading blog posts, etc. (I was also at the protested CFAR reunion and knew Daniel)

More info at the bottom (especially for journ*lists who would like interviews)

Pre-2019

Curtis Lind allows people to live in trailers and containers on his Vallejo, CA property, initially offering affordable housing to artists, woodworkers, and electricians. Over time, some tenants stop paying rent and are later referred to as "The Cult" by neighbors. The cult consists of Ziz (Jack LaSota), Emma Borhanian, Somni (Alexander Leatham), and Gwen Danielson.

Separately, at some point Ziz attends a workshop by CFAR, which is a nonprofit focusing on behavioral psychology and AI.

2019

November 2019: CFAR bans Ziz and Gwen from their alumni reunion, partly due to fears of violence.

November 2019: Ziz, Emma, Somni and Gwen protest at the reunion with accusations of bad decision theory (it's complicated) and transphobia. (All four of them are trans).

The protestors get arrested for blocking entrances (while there are children on the grounds) and wearing Guy Fawkes masks. They're released on bail.

2021

August 2021: Ziz advocates for "airlocking" (a sci-fi term for killing) various people in blog comments and claims many people seek "suicide by Ziz." Ziz runs a blog which appears to be the primary attractor for this community. They claim that people have two hemispheres, and are either non-good, single-good, or double-good (very rare, which Ziz herself is). Ziz advocates for a ruthlessly enforced altruism towards all living creatures, and to follow the principle that it's never valid to surrender. She promotes the punishment of "non-good" people, particularly those who are not vegans.

2022

February 2022: Jamie Zajko, a close friend of Ziz, claims that Ziz threatens to kill Jamie, if Jamie does not kill Jamie's girlfriend and provide proof of it.

April 2022: Gwen Danielson, one of the protestors, stops appearing for court hearings, and their lawyer suggests they have died.

July 2022: A different friend of this group commits suicide and cites ideas from Ziz's blog in their suicide note. Ziz appears to suggest their ideas caused the suicide.

August 2022: Ziz fakes her own death in a boating accident and stops showing up to court hearings. The Coast Guard conducts a search for her, but finds no body. An obituary is released.

November 2022: Emma Borhanian is killed by Curtis Lind during a violent altercation at his Vallejo property. Somni stabs Lind with a sword, and Lind shoots both Somni and Emma. Lind is stabbed dozens of times and loses an eye. Lind's account is that they had been threatening him for some time, and one day requested he come fix a leak. They hit him from behind, and when he woke up they were attempting to cut off his head (he has scarring consistent with this claim). He then shot Emma and Somni in self defense. His friend claims upon entering the trailer afterwards he found surgical equipment and chemicals he believes were intended to dissolve Lind's body. Somni and Suri Dao are arrested. Ziz and Gwen are seen at the scene, alive. It seems likely Gwen had faked their own death earlier to escape court appearances, much as Ziz had.

November 2022: Somni attempts to escape from jail (twice).

2023

January 2, 2023: Richard and Rita Zajko are found dead from homicide in their Pennsylvania home from gunshot wounds. Their daughter Jamie Zajko was associated with Ziz, and we suspect the homicide was an attempt to gain money (several million dollars) from inheritance. Police also suspect Ziz is involved in the murder. Police also suspect Daniel Blank, an associate of Ziz, is involved in the murder. Blank has not been seen since and we suspect he's dead.

January 13, 2023: Ziz is arrested in Pennsylvania for "obstructing administration of law" and "disorderly conduct." Ziz eventually makes bail (in June) and stops showing up to court. We suspect that the arrest was indirectly related the murders, and that the police didn't have enough evidence to make a full charge.

2025

January 17, 2025: Curtis Lind (who was set to serve as the primary witness in his assault case) is stabbed to death outside his Vallejo property. A man named Maximilian Snyder is later arrested for this murder. The previous year, he applied for a marriage license with a woman named Teresa Younblut, who was in contact with Ziz.

January 20, 2025: Teresa Youngblut and a man named Felix Baukholt are stopped while driving by U.S. Border Patrol in Vermont. They end up in a shootout, and Baukholt and a border patrol agent dies. Police find tactical gear, firearms, and burner laptops in the car. According to the police, an unnamed person who purchased the firearms used in this shooting is also a suspect in the Pennsylvania Zajko murders. We think this is likely to be Jamie Zajko, given that the shooting is in the same town that Jamie Zajko has a registered address (Coventry, Vermont).

That's it so far. We still don't know the whereabouts of the people in this story who aren't either dead or in custody, and we sort of expect them to continue doing murders.

1. If you're a journ*list and want to get in contact with people around the community/rationalist scene who knows the people involved, you can fill out this form and your contact info will be shared around our networks

2. My friend, trying to interview Lind about something else, ended up getting a bunch of footage of him talking about the attack. If you're a journ*list or documentarian interested in this footage, please reach out to him here

3. The above timeline is collected from sources the community has accumulated here.

It also has some high-confidence guesses made by people familiar with those involved. Please doublecheck all claims yourself.

We're playing the Dawn of Civilization mod for Civilization IV that replicates world history. !g*mers

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3

Part 4 Part 5 Part 6

Part 7 Part 8 Part 9

We're getting into the Modern era endgame, which typically for Civilization is the point that you've already won and you're just mopping up dudes with longbows with tanks while you listen to John Adams. Dawn of Civilization attempts to avoid this snowball effect and is generally successful unless you've maintained a hueg empire like we have.

I've for sure hit the snowball effect here as I'm an era+ ahead of everyone with near 10x the military of the rest of the world.

We have researched Spaceflight and our vision of Romans on Mars is coming into view.

Mediolanum gets to work on putting our first satellite into space while Rome develops the internet.

Also working on the Empire State Building in Rhegium. Bros the wonder video for this is adorable. It's like 90s FMV I could probably post it here but I'm going to make you install the mod to watch it instead.

We're nearing the end of the tech tree. Now researching Globalism

It's 1838AD so we're 100+ years early.

The AI is generally at their appropriate spot in history, developing railroads and factories and shit. I would slow down research and allow the rest of the world to catch up and resume all this stuff in the 1950s, BUT I'm approaching Legendary culture in a number of cities so if I don't try to win it's possible I'd accidentally hit a Cultural victory instead of a Space victory. That would be lame.

We could pretty well win most of these original victory conditions at this point. I would just need to conquer 5% more of the world for Domination. Russia and America as my vassal provinces are likely going to accomplish a good bit of that on their own just through natural expansion. The United Nations is being built in Greece but I'm not sure about Diplomatic because a lot of the world hates me. Conquest would be tricky too but I'm sure it's doable.

Instead, I'm generously trading away techs to everyone just to make things a lil more interesting.

Some stuff to get out of the way.

Last game Sweden became Communist and we discovered a cosmetic bug where Sweden lacked an official title under communism. I requested something to rename them to.

Communist Sweden will henceforth be known as Bimothy. @BimothyX2 !friendsofbimothy

Portugal has restored itself as a Republic under Maria, top Dawn of Civ waifu next to Cleopatra.

It hurts my vassal Spain a little.

Ethiopia has collapsed, following our nuking of Aksum and conquest RIP bozo

Marrakesh has been my main naval center and since researching flight London has been my primary aviation center. Independent Scotland and Ireland have been hostile to me most of the game and the Scottish have now decided to poke some of my old musket-wielding mine-guarding military with sticks. I promote them to modern infantry and decide to deal with Scotland.

Ireland too. I'll remind you I liberated these ungrateful frickers.

Since these are independent cities I don't think I get any diplomatic penalties. Can't remember if there's something like base game's "Global Warming" effect from excessive nuking. I don't care anywhere, we're about to go to freakin Mars, frick Earth

Ireland reforms as a civilization shortly after getting nuked.

There's another missing String for the modern civilization, so instead of being the Republic of Ireland or whatever it's TXT_KEY_CIV_CELTS_REPUBLIC I'm gonna have to just let this one be.

Good luck with that land

We've hoarded enough Great People and I want to get our space projects moving so I have another Golden Age

With the Eiffel Tower we only spend 3 people max.

A Great Scientist is born during this golden age. Frick it. We'll have another one too.

20 turns of Golden Age now.

We've researched Satellites after putting our first one in space from Medioladum.

Satellites can join a city for a science, commerce, or espionage boost. Rhegium has become our new commerce city with a Central Bank and the Empire State Building while Rome has shifted to Great Person generation, so I'm starting to put satellites there.

With the research of Satellites we reach the Digital Age. Now the end of the tech tree is in sight.

Japan is working on putting our first man into space

The United Nations has been finished in Greece.

We are elected to head over Kangxi of the Great Qing. We don't even get the necessary votes but enough of the world abstained from voting, I guess because they hate both of us.

We can establish a single currency to boost trade.

Kyoto puts a man into space. The japs get to work on a Lunar Landing. Rome is developing an International Space Station.

We begin to experience the consequences of Sid Meier's 90s-early 00s "nuclear bad" environmentalist mentality.

And Global Warming starts to hit in England due to our nuking of the British Isles.

Once we research "Renewable Energy" we can build solar panels onto this Cornish desert.

Canada, the latest spawning unique civilization, appears in the 1860s

Peru enters the game too, but I believe this is just a resurrected Inca civilization. They go to war with Colombia.

Canada eventually pledges loyalty to the great Dragon along with Austria. Korea falls under the protection of Iran. My Mandebros accept fascism and become the "Military Committee of Mali". Bimothy is Bimothy.

Japan succeeds with the Lunar Landing and we're treated to another lovely FMV

It triggers ANOTHER Golden Age. Three consecutive so far! Japan is doing well enough that they can get to work on the Mars Mission as well. It will only be an issue if they suddenly declare independence.

Dorylaion in Turkey can get to work on sending the Golden Record

>Roma celebrates "We Love the Dictator Day"!!!

Once the japs make it to Mars we can start the real Space Race.

Similar to Base Game, we have to build a bunch of different components. The more we build the higher chance of success.

We're going to start building the Framing components in Australia, since it's not at risk of secession.

We're starting the Power Sources in the Italian mainland for similar reasons. Rome is working on a Lunar Colony, which will speed all of these projects up.

To quote once again:

For all of the money we are spending, NASA should NOT be talking about going to the Moon - We did that 50 years ago. They should be focused on the much bigger things we are doing, including Mars (of which the Moon is a part), Defense and Science!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 7, 2019

More Great People born in Rome. We're able to trigger another Golden Age.

Croatia and our West Iberian cities are also safe, Spain doesn't mind us having them. These cities get to work on Mars Laboratories while Rome works on the second most expensive part, the Excavator.

Actually, we're gonna pause the Excavator for a minute. One more Golden Age from the Interstellar Probe will push us through to the end.

We get an incredible late game event. Sorry lolbertarians

-25% inflation is AMAZING in a game this long.

~500 gold per turn slashed like that We can (kinda) afford to fund science 100% now

The five habitats begin construction in 'Straya

Hydroponics centers start in mainland Italy. Even our dedicated military center Padua is repurposed

We're facing aggressive espionage harassment at this point. Buildings keep blowing up. There's a Great Firewall wonder we could build but our Mars projects are the priority.

Scottish r-slurs are throwing bombs at us now.

We're just gonna have to conquer them to get them to stop annoying us.

We've completed the tech tree. Transhumanism functions the same as "Future Tech" in the base game, spreading happiness and health. We can continue researching it to further improve the empire.

In Civ5 this improves your score. Who the frick cares about score? That game sucks balls, seriously.

Roma completes the Interstellar Probe, giving a final Golden Age. The extractor is built and we get to work on the final component, the Mars Control Center.

One more Great Statesman is born in Roma. We can use Diocletianus for a final government change.

We're going back to a Bureaucracy and embracing Multilateralism to speed up construction in our capital. It has poor stability compatibility with fascism but we're about to establish a new government on Mars. Don't care.

We are however sticking to unrepentant capitalism. Despite a large Capitalism Bad penalty from corporations, we have enough happiness to offset it.

^{I think the OH YEAH! is from Transhumanism}

The production boost will allow us to complete the Control Center just as the golden age concludes.

We are ousted from our position as head of the U.N.

The rest of the world will regret this.

The golden age ends and our control center is complete.

We're going to space neighbors

13 turns left on this gay planet. The cucks stuck on Earth aren't gonna let us get away that easy. Morocco attempts to secede again. This may have been the fault of our government change dropping us from Solid stability. Luckily we didn't build any ICBMs here. ICBMs can't be moved from cities and I think they could have fallen into the hands of the secessionists

Our first real modern conflict

The Qing emperor attempts to frick us up by calling a vote to liberate Arabia

They fail.

These fools are going on a list:

Later they try to take capitalism away from us

Again, failed.

Often in base civ when you're close to victory everyone will declare war on you. They aren't doing that, maybe because I so obviously could destroy everyone, but they are annoying me with spies. Right before mission completion I complete the great firewall

Neat Would be cooler if we weren't already 2 turns to victory

I get to watch the history of my world now

Just one more turn. I have some unfinished business.

Nuking Canada

Nuking China

Nuking India

Nuking Iran

Nuking Bimothy

Nuking Brazil

Thank you all for reading!!!

Since some people seem to enjoy these I may make more condensed posts on individual games/civilizations in the future but this daily post thing will get old fast and this was more to show off this mod in honor of Civilization 4 week

Now I seriously need to touch grass

A later statement confirmed: "There has been a shooting at the school. Four people have been shot. The extent of the injuries is unclear. The operation is still ongoing.

That number has since been raised to five - while police also denied local reports that officers had been shot.

The shooting took place in a campus area which includes several schools for both children and adults.

Just because a president is dumbo, and 30% of voters elected him along with his team, doesn't mean you should hate an entire country for it. This is the problem with people today—you don't realize that hatred starts from small things. Then one day, you wake up wondering, why do they hate us back? and suddenly, there's a war. Hate me or disagree with me all you want, but today it's this guy, tomorrow it will be another, and so on. This is how hatred toward an entire nation grows—because of a single person who comes to power. One leader's actions shouldn't define an entire people. (1)

In this column, I will discuss the following topics:

-My obsession with dates/years and which decades I love

-Do I enjoy plane crashes?

-Product Review: Hidden Valley Ranch Dress Packets

-Advertisement

-A walk down memory lane: the bloody picture

One day I checked my email and I received three separate emails (along with a few voicemails) from people very enthusiastically inviting me to "rdrama.net". Usually my email inbox is very slow, so to have multiple people emailing me over the course of one day was exciting. The emails I received told me that people were discussing my website on rdrama.net, and I was provided a link to this thread.

Link: https://rdrama.net/h/slackernews/post/330633/i-found-a-website-uglier-than

In this thread, people seemed bewildered by my opinions and blunt honesty, but they were unexpectedly welcoming and encouraging despite this (or probably because of this). I always have a hard time thinking about how others perceive me, since I will admit, I am fairly strange compared to the average person. I lose sight of this since I am me and I am living this strangeness 24/7, so what is completely normal to me is completely unique and new to other people. Sometimes I will say really stupid things to other people in public because I am slightly nervous when talking to people in person, so I have a harder time pacing my thoughts. This means that I sometimes lose sight of "normal" speak and my own internal words/phrases I made up. Once I gifted an acquaintance cookies. She thanked me and said the cookies were good. I got nervous, giggled, and said, "That's great, I hope they give you good mouth pleasure." The term "mouth pleasure" is one I made up to imply something is tasty, but out of context, it sounds completely sexual. After I said that, I felt my face turn red. Another time, I was talking to an acquaintance about delicious food I had just eaten and I casually said, "I one throated that food". The term "one throat" implies you ate something so quickly in one go, "one throat". But after saying it, I immediately realized that term was something I say to myself internally, not externally. It also sounds very similar to "deep throat", so I was embarrassed after I accidentally said that. (I originally heard this term on Impractical Jokers and it resonated with me.) All of this to say, my eccentricities sometimes make me seem more fascinating compared to other people, because other people are very similar to one another and thus, they do not stand out.

Also, someone in the rdrama.net thread was wondering if I was a . Is it because I use Arch? What about me emanates mentally ill man who shaves his taint? I took great offense to this, because what biological male has a cute face and is 4' 11"? That would be the absolute jackpot, and if I were a that had hit such a jackpot, I would definitely have capitalized on that. But instead, here I am writing this and making websites for s*x offenders, sans girldick. Plus, all s sound the same. They sound like a deranged Mickey Mouse, and my voice sounds nothing like that. I have a very authentic, biological, female voice. Perhaps you haven't spent enough time watching s to know this. I implore you to spend a few minutes educating yourself. Go to https://www.tgtube.com/

Here's an example of me talking versus how a sounds when he tries to sound like a girl. I've perfectly replicated how these mental basket cases talk via the power of Kdenlive.

Now you can spot a without even setting an eye on one. You're welcome for the masterclass in how to spot for blind people.

Overall, I was amused by this encounter because it was a glimpse into how people react when they visit my website and read my opinions. Usually I am completely blind to people's perceptions on these things, since there isn't a comment section on my HTML pages. It was also nice to see a website with a solid and active userbase that is completely separate from the usual r-slurred back-doored NSA Telegram chat, Groomercord group, or other NSA controlled "social media" website. I'm pretty sure rdrama.net uses Lemmy, which is open source (and federated) software that mirrors the Reddit look. If you are opposed to using reddit because you do not wish to start estrogen pills, then using a Lemmy instance would be a better solution for you.

In my case, while I appreciate the kind reception and invitations to rdrama.net, I am not a fan of the Reddit style/form of communication, nor do I tend to use websites that require accounts (withe exception of e-mail and my Peertube).

A lot of the time I prefer to post opinions and share ideas/responses anonymously, as this serves a few primary benefits:

1. No one will agree/disagree with my opinion simply because I said it. When I post an idea anonymously, I can get honest feedback that is not tainted by someone's opinion of me.

2. I generally do not use any website with a profile system. I don't like cliques that tend to come with profile-based websites. For example, on forums you will have cliques, a reputation, a post number history attached to your profile which seemingly dictates your worth. There are too many factors a profile adds that taint a discussion; as now the person is more important than the discussion at hand.

3. I can post something I do not actually mean without someone having the ability to confirm if I actually believe that thing due to my post history. Anonymity gives you freedom to be a completely different person. This allows anonymous posting to be much more fun due to its chaotic nature.

It's important to note that a website page is different from a discussion. While I operate a website where I write my thoughts/opinions, in a setting of discussion, I vastly prefer for ideas to hold value over who said the idea. When identities get involved in a discussion, the ideas can be tainted simply by the identity saying them. Whereas if the discussion was held anonymously, the thoughts and ideas are judged on their own merit alone.

I understand this is unconventional thinking for most people and that I am in a great minority. I personally prefer to operate like this, but I understand why most people do not have issues with profiles and discussions tied to an identity. While I personally do not make accounts on social websites due to my own personal beliefs, I think there is a good chance some of my readers may like this website. I think it's important to spend leisurely internet time on websites that are separate from globohomo ones. I encourage you to at least look at this website out of curiosity, and perhaps join if it's something you like. By having more users interact on such websites, it gives those who were once reluctant to use. Only a few years ago (around 2017) many open source federated websites were dead due to low adoptability since people did not want to use websites with a low userbase. Thanks to those who choose to use them regardless, it has given them more value, and thus, those who will only join is there is a sufficient userbase will now be more willing to utilize these better websites.

I encourage everyone to go and check out the rest of the column!

We need about 3% of Americans (about 11 million) go to on general strike. This has always been an effective strategy against fascism.

Our broad list of demands includes, but is not limited to: Climate action. Universal healthcare. Racial justice. Reproductive rights. LGBTQIA+ rights. Living wage / raise the minimum wage. Immigration reform. Education reform. Gun safety. Tax the rich. Affordable housing. Disability rights. Welfare and child support reform. Voters rights. Constitutional convention. Paid family and medical leave. Criminal justice system reform. Workers' rights. Permanent ceasefire in Gaza.

IMO we should be demanding that Trump rescind his EOs and resign by 2/22, or we take the economy down with us through sickouts, slowdowns, boycotts . . . whatever people can do to throw a wrench in the system.

this will happen!

And yet, despite all of this, the Academy is showering the film with nominations. It's disheartening to see how -actual- Mexican films, with authenticity and cultural accuracy, don't receive this level of recognition. Instead, we get a film that diminishes the importance of language and cultural representation, all for the sake of style over substance. Imaging making an Italian language movie where Brad Pitt keeps his Italian in "Inglorious Basterds" not as a comedy but as a serious drama, that was this movie. A joke.

Hi all. I’ve taken a bit of time away from social media to reflect, but I see the conversation is ongoing. What I think is important is that we all show each other respect online. If you’re defending me by being disrespectful or racist then I would rather you didn’t.

So peep this. I wake up one day with a smile on my face. I ready to GOON hard and hustle COOMpacks to my homies off the street. Gay, straight, all genders and nationalities, I don't discriminate when it comes to selling legal and illegal COOM to those in need.

I was try to watch a LIVE CAMGIRL SQUIRTING HARD PULSATING CLITORIS and the stream went off! Shit sucks yo, but I was EDGING like mofo and I held in my COOM. I tried to browse pornhub and all my favourite videos were GONE! I researched and found out that FEDs are trying to shut this shit down.

Nah fam PornHub don't die that's Town Square for gooners. We use VPNs round here AND we got our shit downloaded fam.

I dug deeper into this shit and I discovered that the Latter Day Gooner Cult is behind some of this shit. They claim to be about that GOON life but it's clear they're trying to restrict GOONING talmbout "holy GOON sacraments". Nah I GOON when I want. Which set you rep?

Sheeit, I was reading up and it turns out this schism in the GOONING community has been going on for eons. All throughout the years, there has been tension between the younger GOONERS who are trying to GOON fast and hard, and the older gooners striving for a subtler, but longer-lasting goon experience.

Note the number of trans healthcare professionals in the comments here. I believe they are likely overrepresented in this thread in comparison to real life.

Go through the thread and you'll see loads of comments starting with "trans ___________ here"

Their three day ban is up but they are currently private while the unpaid jannies "prepare to reopen."
